My Name is Lizzie Bennet

5m2012-04-09

Just introducing myself as part of a class project. We're in grad school together. Charlotte's the mastermind behind the camera, she wanted me to talk about my life, which, yeah, sounds tremendously exciting right? But we'll do our best to be at least moderately entertaining. Also, in the future, I will try to get Charlotte out from behind her pipe. So in this first video, you meet me, my friend Charlotte Lu, and my sister Lydia (accidentally). And I introduce you to a parody of my mom as well, who, hopefully, you will never meet.

My Parents: Opposingly Supportive

So that was an amazing first week! I am shocked that so many people find my life even a tiny bit interesting. So Episode 3!!! Inspired by Reggie on Facebook, I made this video about my parents so you can get to know them a little more. - But actually showing them? Well that would require me telling them that I'm doing this... so that's going to be a "no". Or at least a "not yet".

The thought of Bing Lee dominates my mother's life. It's all she talks about. So through everything my crazily lovable mother, the 2.5 WPF club, and my out of control baby sister, you lovely people get to learn all about Bing Lee.

After the Wedding: The Real Bing Lee

5m2012-04-22

So...this weekend was interesting. The wedding was lovely, barring some extremely unfortunate events that I will not get into right now. But Bing and Jane did, like, I mean, really hit it off, so Mom is unsurprisingly a 50 gallon barrel of pleased. Today though, I just wanted to grill Jane on the evening's events. Also, I have to admit that Bing is actually really nice. And Jane didn't even make me write that.

You were all quite specific that you wanted me to talk more about meeting Mr. Darcy, so today, I give you half the story. Boring, stuffy, and rude, I really don't get how Bing and him are friends. Regardless, watch Lydia and I reenact the events of the Gibson wedding for you. And then, next week, I'll give you the scoop on the rest of the evening.

After this I'm done talking about the Gibson Wedding. I really didn't want to talk about this, but it's been bugging me. Like really bugging me. Like can't study and all my projects suck bugging me. So here it is, the Most awkward dance ever with Darcy. - oh and I miss Charlotte, she should be back this week.

Also she apparently told something to my mother that didn't exactly thrill me, but hey it's Charlotte and I love her. Sorry this video is a little shorter but we do have the special Q&A video this Saturday! Watch out for that!

The Charming Mr. Lee

5m2012-05-14

Despite the double barreled presences of both Lydia and My Mother, dinner at Bing Lee's wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Probably because that Bing is 1. actually pretty cool and 2. very much into my sister.

So it turns out my mom had a plan for all those green beans in cranberry sauce. Not just a plan to turn something that sounds disgusting into something truly disgusting, but a plan to use it to push Bing and Jane together. I how you really enjoy watching this video because I really didn't enjoy a certain part of it.
