my first vlog. watch it or die.

by Alexis on June 21, 2010

so this is my first attempt at vlogging. my first idea was to talk about hidden talents, but then i realized i have none, so i vlogged about this instead. sorry. but you still need to watch it or else i will be coming after you with a homemade shank. look at me, i’m the next martha: the prison edition.

make sure your volume is up loud enough because i tend to mumble (yes, my career as a stage actress is well on its way). let me know what you think. and don’t mention my terrible editing, i already know i suck at that.

Hilarious. Your accents were great. 15 pounds in the last week? Sounds like me this past week.

Anyway, there is something over on my blog today for you if you’re interested! No hard feelings if you’re not, I just think you’re awesome.

Dammit, I am never gonna be amazing ;)

Loved it!!!!!

Alexis June 22, 2010 at 10:58 pm

thank you for the notice. do you have documentation of my amazingness so i can hang it up in my office? or actually behind my kitchen table because what used to be an office is now a bedroom for my son (i am so generous it kills me)?

Kristina P. June 22, 2010 at 11:26 am

First, I hate you because you are beautiful. Yep.

And second, you are hilarious!! I guess I could vlog about Jessica’s hoohah. I think it would sound a little like your New York accesnt.

wait, you hate me? great, this totally ruins my chances of making it into snuggie of the week. i was pinning all my hopes for fame on that. boo.

and i totally snorted when i read that jessica’s hoohah might sound like my new york accent. because that is EXACTLY how i imagined it, too. oh no…i just admitted that i have imagined something about jessica’s hoohah. does that make me a lesbian? thinking about a talking hoohah?

we should do a collaboration vlog.

Buahahahaha! Its ok if your pigeon is not all there. I lived in Hawaii all my life and my pigeon is horrible. But I like that about myself. Haha! And I still remember in high school when you told me you talked in an English accent to fit in when you lived in England. You really do have a talent for speaking the “lingo” of the places you live in. ;)

yesssss…i think that is one of the best compliments i’ve ever gotten, that you watched me make a fool of myself all the way to the end of my video. you are a true soldier, grace. if you ever vlog, i promise to tell you i watched it all the way to the end.

you knew all of my personalities when you were in high school? i hope you were nice to them. especially the british one, she’s very sensitive.

Funny! You sound like one of the girls from My Super Sweet Sixteen with the NY accent. Spot on!
I want to do a vlog…you may have just inspired me, though I also would have loved to hear about the dead rabbit that was in your purse.

And can we hate you because you’re beautiful?

Heather of the EO June 22, 2010 at 5:04 pm

You know that I’m going to expect you to do accents the whole time we’re at BlogHer now, right?

Wow. That’s what I have to say. WOW. You’re good. For reals. And also, after spending some days with me, I’ll be expecting a Minnesotan accent vlog :)

Way to go, lady! You’re a natural vlogger. I dig it.

Alexis June 22, 2010 at 11:12 pm

guess what? i can already do the minnesota. i lived there for a summer a couple years ago when my husband had an internship at general mills, and i had quite the romance with the accent.

and it sounds like blogher is shaping up to be a rockin good time. what with all the sobriety, accents, and pizza. did i not mention pizza before? well, i will be eating a lot of it.

Reply

Amy June 22, 2010 at 5:32 pm

You are absolutely hilarious. I am so impressed you pulled all of the accents off – right in a row like that. Once I do one accent, I can’t make the switch to another very easily. Can’t wait to see more vlogs :)

Unfortunately for me I frequently say, “What the whoo-ha?” totally innocent-like and now everytime I do, it will be tainted. And totally unrelated, did you by chance take a college senior course about Polynesia in Literature (or some such title). If so, then I finally figured out why you look familiar.

Alexis June 22, 2010 at 11:15 pm

i am very sorry to have taken whoo-ha away from you. as a repayment, please accept my undying love of bradley cooper.

and yes! i totally did have that class. nice to “see” you again. by the way, i hated it (the class, not seeing you).

Reply

The redhead June 23, 2010 at 3:05 am

Wow, what good face placement I have. And I too was less than enthused by the class. Except for that one time we had Polynesian food for the final, and the many other times we ate quasi-authentic food. Senior course my arse!

Jaime June 23, 2010 at 9:10 pm

BAHAHA I LOVE IT!!!! I like to think I have an ear for accents, too. My husband makes fun of me b/c I turn on my Southern one whenever I talk to my mom or my grandma. I could feel myself picking up the Utah one when I was out there, and now I sometimes answer in a Philly one if, say, the cashier at the grocery store makes small talk.

Theta Mom June 23, 2010 at 9:39 pm

That was hysterical. I had to watch it again today, and again I laughed out loud. I lived in New Zealand and Hawaii so I sometimes turn on those accents too, but the one that was SO funny was the NY one!! Loved the script too!

Reply

Alexis June 24, 2010 at 10:38 am

script? that was no script, mama! that’s why the editing was so bad–i had to cut out like two minutes’ worth of me going, “errrr…what should i say now?” hmmm…next time maybe i should write a script.
