HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN GREEN!

I'd like to wish John Green, one of the best young adult authors in the world a very happy birthday. John's works have given me so much enjoyment and pleasure. I consider his stories and characters life time companions. The videos he and his brother make are just great. I love Nerdfighteria and everything it stands for. I will be forever thankful for John and Hank's existence and awesomeness.

The image you see up there is Hank's awesome birthday gift to John. It is made up of tiny pictures of Nerdfighters all over the world. It looks awesome and is metaphorical and symbolic. We all know how much John loves metaphors. It was a shame because I didn't get a chance to submit my own photo because I checked my email right as the deadline passed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN!

The Discovery of a New Obsession

I just discovered the best web-series in the world.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

It is a modern retelling of the much loved classic, especially by me, Pride and Prejudice. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is done in the style of a vlog diary. We get to know everyone; from Charlotte to Lydia, to Caroline to Darcy, through Lizzie ramblings about her life. But the only characters we actually do get to see for ourselves are Lizzie's sisters, Jane and Lydia (There's only three of them in this one. I suppose having five children goes against modern views or whatever), and Lizzie's best friend, Charlotte. At least, I think they're the only characters we see. I'm only up to episode 8. Anyway, they've got the characters spot-on, especially Lydia and the mum. Lydia is my favourite in this retelling and 'Lizzie' does a fantastic job of impersonating her mother. I can't keep the smile off of my face because she does the mother so well and she looks so funny. But do we actually get to see what everyone else look like? Mr Collins? Bingley? Darcy? I want to see all the men. Hopefully we at least get a glimpse of what they look like every now and then.

It's pretty recent in the sense that it started this year (April) and it's been going on since. I haven't got a clue why I've only found out about this now because the executive producer is Hank Green and I make it my business to know the Green Brothers' business.

I'm going to go back to watching the videos now.
