20SB VBlog! from Elly on Vimeo.


Also, it appears the video and sound are wack. CLASSY!


Anyway, I’m trying to be more active in the communities I’m part of. One of those communities is 20sb, which, from what I can tell, seems to be pretty brilliant. And they do these THINGS, like blog swaps and meet ups and interviews, and today I thought I’d take part: I did a video blog.


And okay, sure I decided last minute that I was going to get in on the VBlog action, and after encouraging @abby_cake to do one I thought I’d better just do it.


That was before my mad dash around the city, where I unsuccessfully tried to find a piercist. When I finally got round to do it, I was 15 minutes late back from lunch, had no idea what I wanted to say, so I did what I always do: I thought I’d wing it.


I grabbed the camera out of my bag, put it on the steering wheel and talked shit for a minute or two. So it’s not classy. I don’t dance. There’s no background music. I’m not wearing make up. I didn’t edit it. And I am sitting in my car, while the sunlight makes me frown with it’s wonderous glare.


But hell yes I took part. In all my rush-back-to-work unattractive state. Woo yeah!

    I haven’t even WATCHED it and that screenshot made me laugh out loud. It rules!

  2. Elly says:

    @DShan – Ha! I wouldn’t have picked it if I had a choice, but sometimes you just have to take what vimeo gives you and roll with it :)

    Ahhhh! Seriously, I am going to be a typical American and say, “I could pretty much listen to your accent all day.” I adore it, and you are adorable. It’s official.

    I’m glad you posted a video blog – and that screen shot totally made me giggle. Love it!

  5. Karie says:

    I love that you say they’ve “quit” the city, that’s so perfect! My video was all whack initially, I had to play with it in iMovie to get it all fixed.

    ps – I am your blogger friend for life, you’re stuck with me! =)

  8. JJ Keith says:

    Yay. I liked being able to watch and listen to you talk. It helps me get a better sense of who you are. And the accent! I love it.

  9. Elly says:

    @Pamela – Ha, thanks! Sometimes I think the fun in these things is just doing, and not worrying about what other people might think (which is lucky – if I did care I think I’d have a serious problem with that screenshot! :)

    @Wishcake – hahaha, thanks! I have to say I enjoy your accents too. Yay for vlogs, it’s not often you get to hear the people who you read :)

    @Karie – :) Thanks! I don’t particularly love the screenshot, I wouldn’t have picked it myself. Still, you take what your given and run with it :)

    @Kyla – Oh! I wish I’d had time to fix the sound and video delay (I wasn’t kidding when I said it was quick and dirty. I literally did it in the car, and the posted it online). And yay for blogger friends! :)

    @Desiree – Just do it, I reckon! I look pretty dopey, and fairly uncoordinated. *shrug* I think its a true representation, sometimes pictures are better than words :)
