You should meet your YouTube friends.

Brilliant! You have mastered the thoughts from places format. This is a lovely memento from my trip

[@MarkThePage]

I'm glad you like the memento--I've always been self-conscious about my inability to make physical gifts for my friends. That you'll accept the digital gifts I've learned to make... will be healing if I ever get around to internalizing that.

Nice video! I often struggle to find youtube friends, unfortunately youtube makes it rather difficult to find small youtubers and many of the ones I've met are interested in totally different topics on youtube than I am. It's ironic that doing youtube seems like something that should connect us and yet often feels a bit competitive, esp as there's always that worry that having youtuber friends will turn into a competition. This was a pleasant video, especially since I'm currently working on a video about vlogging and trying to articulate what about it would be appealing to those who don't get it. Glad to see you posting again and eager to see what you put up next.

KZbin's algorithm really does have it out for us little guys... I don't feel very competitive about my views vs my friends--I'm just happy to see them! I'll always welcome another nerdfighter into my circle, because even when we don't get a high quantity of views, we certainly get quality.

1) The old intro and music! 2) Shirt game is strong in the intro 3) I sympathize with the flirt game, someone asked me what I was drinking once and I said "water" and then he walked away and my friends side eye me and then I was like "oh that was flirting and a free drink whoops" 4) I've also never heard of Bernie & Phil's Furniture 5) My dad said "wicked" once after hearing it on Harry Potter and my cousin grilled him for it 6) Char used Charm and Manhole became infatuated 7) The Ames speed run, should've live-streamed it for gamer clout XD 8) I wonder if Historians also participated in the Doritos Super Bowl commercial contest 9) Tree names: DimiTREE and PaTREEcia 10) I was 100% positive there was a true historical story to that shutter being f***ed up and then witchraft 11) Mark's pasta game is UNTOUCHABLE after a year of spoiling Manhole the dog with italian fancy feast 12) The dancing during the Mr. Rogers sock admiration made me think of Galarian Mr. Mime and I shivered 13) The slowing down part reminded me of the first time Gretchen came to visit me in Lancaster on her way to the Apple store and we got sunburned while walking through my favorite places 14) The trans pride-colored KZbin cake looks like Kirby crouching in Smash Bros 15) The empty bus is a mood 16) I like that the body-rolling rainbow frog returned 17) Currently struggling to make new friends in Portland so I feel you there. It's hard when you leave college (and your home state) and start from scratch 18) Char needs to narrate an audiobook for me to fall asleep to

[@whatsbehindthesky]

You are very thoughtful and kind. I don't have an audiobook, but I have a pretty chill video about Mister Rogers!

I have been blessed by a John Reddy essay comment!!! 1) To think it's been three whole years since I last dipped into the generic vlogger music... I was getting so many flashbacks. 9) [groan] 10) Are you insinuating that I made up the history of the broken shutter!? 11) Char was eyeing your pasta cookbook... 👀 12) I've never connected with you more than in this moment. 13) All I can think is, "... Is there, like, only one Apple store in your entire state...?" 14) Good Kirby made at least one part of our cake LGBT-inclusive. 17) Making friends in a new city must be nothing compared to making friends in a new pandemic. 18) If Char does get an audiobook deal, we're preordering it.
