In Which I Answer a Question (and Thusly Prove I Shouldn’t Vlog)
I will admit, I am pretty awed by the bloggers out there who produce really fun content via VLOGGING. Jenny on the Spot, June Cleaver Nirvana, Mommy Words – I don’t know where to start – they rock at vlogging. Not only that, but they’re successful at it. YouTube is a fantastic platform that can even bring in money if you do it successfully (result!) but I just haven’t got the knack for it. No doubt I can Visit websites that give me tips on how to vlog and grow on the platform, but it just seems like a whole other World away from blogging!
I will also admit that there are a lot of people who vlog and are dull as toast. *I speak the truth*. I’m starting to believe that I am one of them. In my 43-odd attempts to record one, they never make it to the blog, because:
- I get nervous watching myself;
- I make too many weird faces; and
- Seriously, I do NOT sound like that. (Do I?)
So when earlier today, the lovely Jenny from www.jennyonthespot.com posted another vlog – this one, imploring people to answer her question (which was likely rhetorical, because, seriously?) I bit the bullet and finished one.
Only for you, Jenny dear. Only for you.
In the meantime, I think I should stick to the written word….

I bow to your shield of faith – that totally beats out my umbrella.
And that lip gloss does make your lips lucious. What kind of lip gloss is it?
Lisa
Yep. You’ve crossed the line into vlogging, and I hope to see more of it. I loved your umbrella comment.. if I were smart I would have thought of that, but I opted for a quick death by a huge boulder. Your hair is sparkly gorgeous too!
Jenn
OMG – Jenny AND Lisa in the same day? (sorry, I’ll contol myself. I have a total girl crush on your hair)
If you only knew how long it took to edit out the crap and the stutters and the goofy faces I make..
*sighs*
does this mean I need a microphone too?

Dear My Friend Who TOTES Just Made My Day,
OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!!!
THIS is what I needed… to see you put on your lipstick… to check out your new color job… to hear you say “bits and bobs” *SNORT*!!! And to visualize an umbrella covered in darts…
Pretty sure you’re stuck with vlogging. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO NOW. HAVE TO. Or it will hail boulders.
Jenn
Seriously? Boulders?
That could hurt… *look uneasily at the sky*
I’ll have a think about it.
*grins*
