frivolous pursuits;

In 2013 I basically never blogged. I am going to attempt to change that this year, at least to an extent. In a year of 365 days, I should write at least 100 blog posts. Like... seriously. 

My new year's resolution situation is going okay so far... one of my resolutions was to get better about cleaning on a prompt, consistent basis. Still riding the struggle bus on that one, but the others are going quite well! 

I just feel SO much better when I do things instead of going home and watching tv all evening. Like last night, even though I worked late, I came home, ate dinner, worked out, showered, washed the dishes, got my clothes & crap ready for today... I mean, these are kind of like lame, uninteresting activities. BUT those things are much better than letting the dishes pile up and being lazy, yes? 

Another thing I've been wanting to do for MONTHS now is start making youtube videos again. I was super active on youtube back in like 2008-2010, when Michael Buckley was at the height of his popularity and collab channels were the best thing ever. 

I definitely wish  I had kept it up, but at the same time I know I didn't have ANY time junior year of college, wasn't in the right place mentally/emotionally (nor did I have time) senior year of college, wouldn't have had the technology to do videos while I was in Europe. Then the move to NYC happened, and my life was in a constant state of flux for like 1.5 years. BUT NOW is a wonderful time to get back at it because I have a much more stable life, a predictable schedule, and a long term job & apartment. 

Also, I've grown up a lot, and I think I have a unique & useful perspective now, and actually do feel like I have something legitimate to offer. I am pretty confident, enough so that even if my videos get like 20 views each for the next year, I'll be okay. I will have tried, and I will have spent my time doing something enjoyable. 

I want to make beauty & style videos, healthy living tips, vlogs, tags... I just want to play and be in the community. I am good enough to be there, and I will not be intimidated by the ridiculous chasm there is on youtube between the popular and the unpopular.

I mean, I know I'll never get to like.. Zoella status or anything, and I am totally okay with that. I don't want to be a FAMOUS youtuber. I would like to be a respected one though.

Anyway, here is my intro video: 

Videos are going to happen twice a week. The party starts tomorrow.
