So I was all over the place excited when Kelly mentioned that she was going to be doing this new feature and YAYYY!!! I love so many fictional guys and I can't wait to talk to you about all of them!
Here is my intro vlog, excuse my awkwardness and bad accent and just generally being crap at pronouncing names...
And seriously, this is me when I get excited. I talk with my hands (seriously, you can't even see them the whole time, but trust me, I'm flapping them around so much more out of frame...) and move all over the place :)
So yeah, I have no idea why I'm making that face at the end either...
Also, I have no idea how to edit a video, otherwise that part where you see me trying to figure out Shadow and Bone's name would so have gotten cut out...
Oh, and because I forgot to mention it in the video: Man of the month: FOUR from Divergent by Veronica Roth
Anyway, let me know what you think. Should I be put in a box and never allowed to vlog again? Like any of my boys?

My first ever vlog, which is somewhat (or actually majorly) scary. I SWEAR I'm more articulate usually, but this was so exciting I forgot how to. And I'm sorry to the people whose names I pronounced and massacred. Names and I don't go so well together apparantly. Oh, and tell me, does my accent suck really bad?
