is currently trending worldwide on Twitter. I have no idea why, but hey, why question it? Embrace what the universe is telling us. 

It’s time to watch the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice. Sleep? Who needs it when we can have Colin Firth in a wet shirt instead?

I have not slept for way less important reasons.

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 episode, 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.

Reblogging this especially for Ellen!!!!!  There are four episodes and I think you and Kelly will love them! 

Thanks Becca!
