KITTENPAUSE time!!
So I'm, once again, well overdue for a post. Did you miss me?
I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that the crisis from the previous post has been averted. I passed my test! Yay! But I'm not really sure that I'm any closer to determining life goals, &etc. Something to deal with at a later date.
Goldwater Scholarship – I really should apply for it, but I just can’t motivate myself to write the darn essays and fill out the application… FAIL. Oh well.
Right now, I’m doing this because I should be writing an Ethics essay (or, for that matter, researching for ethics, researching REUs, or doing that Goldwater application…) but I really just don’t want to. I’d rather stay on the couch doing nothing.
I keep being struck by how well people are doing for themselves by starting out on YouTube. Or at least becoming popular through YouTube. It started with Hank Green of the vlogbrothers. I had heard of his brother John Green, and really enjoyed his book, but Hank Green has since started an independent record label and I guess is starting an independent publishing company. Then there’s Charlie McDonnel (charlieissocoollike) and Alex Day, both of whom now have started an internet attempt to take over the British music charts and who are working with BBC Switch. Kristina Horner isn’t doing so bad herself. She’s got friends on nearly every continent, had a free car with free gas for six months, and has now been working with ApartmentRed and may have a chance to do the whole acting thing. Speaking of which, Darren Criss of A Very Potter Musical fame now has a role on the new ABC show Eastwick.
So basically, I find it amazing how much people have managed to do with YouTube and just networking. At the same time, that kind of scares me because for all those people who manage to make successes of themselves via the internet, there are plenty that have been victims of liars and cheats. The question is whether I can make myself a success via the internet, whether I want to make myself that kind of a success, and whether I would be happy with that. I’m thinking about doing a variety type show on my YouTube… WE SHALL SEE.
Anyone have Wrock music they can share? I need to acquire more of it since I’m in charge of music for the Yule Ball.
HALLOWEEN IS COMING AND I’M SO EXCITED.
KITTENPLAY.
