youtube and the return of poke

I discovered the wonderful world of YouTube recently, and I’m hooked. Tonight, I made the addiction official by creating my own YouTube account and profile. Now there’s no turning back.

I’ve spent hours on YouTube watching Korean music videos, funny animal videos, and other random stuff. It’s funny how a few minutes of grainy, fuzzy video can be so incredibly entertaining. A few weeks ago, I spent several hours watching videos of supposed ghost sightings - basically people recording shadows with their cellphones, then screaming and running around. Stupid, yet highly entertaining.

I only have a few videos of my own, one of which is the poke video. whee!

Description: Kirby, my brother’s cat, had been staying with me one summer. One of Kirby’s stranger habits was lying spread eagle in various conspicuous spots for extended periods of time. Sometimes she’d remain motionless in one spot for so long, I’d start poking her for signs of life.

    1) Hot, rich, younger men love fat, older vulgar women.

    2) If you have a best guy friend, he is in love with you. And secretly you are too.

    3) You and your boyfriend will always playfully chase each other on an ice rink, at the beach, or in the leaves. And you’ll laugh for no reason and your boyfriend will hit you “playfully” but the force of his push will have you flying across the room. But it’s okay. Cuz you’re still laughing like a crazy person.

    4) Brothers/cousin/uncles-newphews will always love the same girl.
