Awkward...

If there is one thing in life I hate it would have to be awkward situations. In the past few days I have experienced more awkward situations than ever. Let's go over them shall we? That way we can truly revel in them... dig deep, peel back the layers, and expose the true awkwardness that nobody knows.

My favourite would have to be someone wanting to discuss their genetalia over MSN. That was lovely. I can't even begin to describe how much I really and truly... wanted my computer to accidentally implode at that exact moment.

Another would be my family thinking that I'm dating one of my very good friends. And then another friend telling him about it. In front of me. I was never planning on sharing that with him... but hey, guess it didn't matter because he ended up finding out. The look on his face alone.

And my final awkward moment that I would like to share would be sitting in a roomful of people, most of whom are my friends, and not having anything to say. I was already upset about something and actually needed there to be some good conversation... but instead, I got to sit there while other people chatted. With their backs to me. I love being shunned out of a conversation.

So those are my most recent awkward situations... I can't wait to find out what the next one will be.

Okay, Okay, I Admit It...

It's true. I am completely obsessed with vlogs. If you don't know what they are, they're like blogs... but instead of text, they are videos. Hence - vlogs.

I can almost always be found perusing around YouTube these days. I love videos where people perform their original music and ones where people just entertain without being discriminating or cruel.

My favourites right now are the following three:

#1. Reina's acoustic performances of her original music and a few covers. I love every song she performs, but my all-time favourites would have to be Emily (I need to ask you) and Chance. These ones are always in my head. I wish she had a record deal so that I could buy her CD and listen to her more often. Yup. She's that good.

#2. Abby's weekly songs. She asks her viewers to submit song title suggestions and then each week pulls a song from a hat. Then she writes, produces and performs an original song based on that title. The title I suggested was "I photoshopped you out." Let's hope mine gets picked!
Her songs are highly entertaining, as is she.

#3. Christine. How can I describe her videos? They are hilarious. Many of the videos make fun of her Filipino parents (Tastefully. With impersonations) and some are soap operas. Every character displayed is performed Christine. Needless to say, she is awesome and you should definitely give her stuff a look.

One day I hope to get some of my own videos posted on YouTube. Right now I have one video of my brother singing The Only Gay Eskimo. If you want to, you can check it out here.

But for now, I will stick with my blog.
