Damn, easily the most attractive girl I've seen vlogging on Youtube.

[intracoast]

Wow, old school Pixelchick! Loved it. As always, I want more videos! Hope all is well. Bye.

[Ray30]

I was told by a friend to check out Youtube and I that is how I discovered YouTube. Good Video.

[charlingo1]

I discovered youtube cuz it's full of dick-head who likes spam,stalk and send a lot of hate message on many profiles!

[Heidiscope]

I checked out that Shayne ward guy, i'd never heard of him before. All i can say is, WATCH OUT Mr PC. . .LOL

[MacVideoHelpline]

Interesting story. I joined youtube because I wanted to comment on something once and then someone subscribed to me even though I had no videos and I was like.. "What the hell does that mean?" Then I got sucked into the tube like everyone else. I live here now.

[Mashimuzy]

oh yeah that video hahaha..

I could upload it again if you want me too haha xD

[MAARRAMBO]

*accident* search 4 music vids

came up in a Google search for something I was interested in at the time. I don't remember now what it was, but I clicked into the back alleys of YouTube and became intrigued. When I discovered Thaumata, I began to see the potential.

[Mashimuzy]

hehe hey.. remember me.

Marshmallow18.. haha

Wassup =D..

I still like your videos.. keep it up xD hehe

[pixelchick]

Thanks girl! Of course I remember you. I think the whole Phantom of the Opera vid you did is imprinted in my brain...LOL! Thanks for stoppin' by! :D

[cykcyko1]

most of how i found YT was in my "who are you" video...

but i stayed because i found some real ppl...

and the first "real" person i found was you PC ;)

[pixelchick]

Aw! Hey thanks cyk! Actually, that 'who are you' video where you mentioned yer tv exploding made me consider putting this vid up funny enough! Well, I'm glad you stayed buddy! :D

[SavannahLioness]

SUREEE you were scratching your foot ;)

haha you thought littleloca was real.. didn't we all ;)

[pixelchick]

LOL! Yeah I debated cutting that bit out SavannahLioness! The things you catch!!! LOL! xD

Yeah! I was such a fool to believe she was REAL! Hhey I did say she was talented :P..hehe! Hope yer doin' well!

[FreeWingz]

I created a martial arts video experimenting with a web cam about half a year ago. I uploaded it on Google Videos expecting to reach #1 on the top charts. I only reached 3. That's 3 as in a total of 3 hits and views. 2 of those 3 hits/views were mine. Some link on Google lead me to YouTube where I was able to beg others to watch and subscribe to me. I lived happily ever after ever since:)

[pixelchick]

Aw! I would've definitely watched yer martial arts vid!...but I didn't know Google Videos existed. ;)

Yer silly! No begging necessary, yer vids are a pleasure to watch and in high demand these days! *hint hint* KIDDING! :D

[texas252]

Wow, you are gorgeous and entertaining even when you are rambling. Looks like you were trying to peel nail polish off. Let's see, now... What was the question? Oh, yeah, I heard about YouTube on NPR.

[pixelchick]

Thanks texas252! Yer always so sweet!I may have been peeling nailpolish off...not sure...but definitely fidgety in this vlog. I'm glad ya found YouTube! :D

[SteelyDoctorWu]

This reminded me of something I need to do.Someone in a Joni Mitchell forum led me to Youtube,they said there were some new old videos of her.I need to search the forum and see who it was who directed me here so I can thank them.

[pixelchick]

Aw! That's cool Steely! My thanks to them as well considering what great support you've given me with all of this! ...ah but I thanked ya already :P!

[pixelchick]

WOW! Long live YouTubia! :D Thanks Mikma!

[Urgelt]

I was surfing articles on Wired. One of them talked about YouTube, and I was curious enough to click in and watch some front page videos. I was *not* impressed.

A few months later it came up in a Google search for something I was interested in at the time. I don't remember now what it was, but I clicked into the back alleys of YouTube and became intrigued. When I discovered Thaumata, I began to see the potential.

[pixelchick]

I'm so glad you gave YouTube a second chance Urgelt! ...and I'm quite certain there are many out there, young and old that agree with me ;)! Thaumata is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your discovery story.

[TheBlackWesleySnipes]

video blogging is hard. ...but the hardest part about it is to avoid actually blogging (for me)... when i do a video, i have no intentions of blogging, i have clips that i'm setting up... and i end up blogging by accident.

but to answer the question, one of my close, personal friends, EndlessJoe, peer pressured me into signing up for YouTube.

[pixelchick]

At first, I had intended to share short films and stuff. Then now it's like all I do is vlog. I'm gonna have to check out yer "accidental" vlogs ;). Cool! EndlessJoe (cool friend!) he's a pro at this vlogging stuff. Nice meetin' ya TheBlackWesleySnipes!

[bigfishead]

My son told me. We were going through fun times with our new broadband abilities to view movies with no waiting. We share favorite site ans stuf. Tey live across the street. They have a new pc and getting into the video on the computer end. They will never catch up with dad. I'm years ahead. The went to school and have degree and I have a ged, lol. Who cares, a lot educated people are morons just the same. :-)

[pixelchick]

LOL! Dave yer too funny! Yeah I know a few "educated people". ;)

Well, I'm glad yer ahead of the game and so video savvy. :D

[kattykinns]

I first heard about youtube when I saw

geriatric1927 on the news so I decided to check out the site and see what all the fuss was about and it sort of went from there.

[pixelchick]

Hi kattykinns! I remember when geriatric1927 was on the news here! I think YT has him to thank for many UK viewers.

[buttsurfer]

I'd like to tell something exciting, like I was on the run from the FBI, cause i stole some top secret files and when i hacked the FBI system, i somehow discovered a conspiracy linked to the Youtube site...but truth is, i was lookin for some stupid Funvideos and got a recommendation a friend. But maybe i could do a video about this youtube discovery FBI story...could be funny

[pixelchick]

Yeah Paul you should do it! That'd make an exciting video. Conspiracies are fun! :D

Either way I'm glad you found YT!

[osaka2004]

i was looking up information on the japanese defense forces and after i found what i was looking for i started scrolling around in here and found cutiemish then emalina and it kind of snowballed youll notice most of my subscriptions on here are pretty girls lol :)

[pixelchick]

LOL! Yeah I guess all those cute vloggettes are hard to miss...well, as long as I'm included!:P hehe

Cool! glad you found what you were looking for and more :D.

[Minniver]

This was one of the reasons I stayed :) and video blogging is still haaaarrrrrrrrdddddd. Love ya. hi to MrPixel :)

[pixelchick]

Yeah it so is still haaaarrrrrrrrdddddd, Deb! Much love and all the best to you and yer hubby from us. :D

[pixelchick]

oh btw Deb, I'm glad that you stayed and happy to give ya a reason 'cus your vids are always enjoyable and appreciated ;).

[blueathena]

:) still a good vid, 'cause it also reflects on how you felt about youtube soon after you found it, versus now, where you might feel a little differently. ;)

I have my ups and downs with it.  But I honestly don't remember the very first thing that drew me to youtube. Probably a search for a music video

[pixelchick]

Thanx blueathena. Yeah I know what you mean. It's strange to see how much my perceptions of YT have changed since then. I'm not surprised that you'd be lookin' for a music video. you have great taste in music :).

[BadAlbert]

I was looking for somewhere to host a video I'd made. I thought youtube was just a video hosting site till I started exploring.

[pixelchick]

At first I thought the same thing Bad Albert! I got into editing after taking a film course so I planned to do little short films and happened to just stumble upon the community aspect of it all. What a wonderful surprise, ay? :D

[BadAlbert]

Your dedication to the imperial cause is truly staggering. You are my rock mikma.

[pixelchick]

Cool! All hail Emperor BadAlbert! :D

[UnclePhatSassy]

Maybe I will,And by the way Congrats for winning 2nd prize,I will contact you after I come from Church...

[pixelchick]

Thanks PhatSassy! Can't wait! :D

[f0x9]

[pixelchick]

Aw! Thanks f0x9! I appreciate you checkin' out my vids and website. :D

[noswonky]

My wife is a blogger, and one of her readers sent her a link to a video on YouTube. She then told me about it, and I quickly became addicted.

This video was good, but I was reaching for unsubscribe button when you went all mushy over S-H-A-Y-N-E. :)

[pixelchick]

It is so addictive noswonky! I warn people when I tell them about it.

LOL!!! I know, I know...he was 'the thing' at the time! *blushes profusely* Thanks for hangin' in there and not pressing that button! :D

[nickg79]

i got into youtube cause i kept seeing this "MIKMA WAS HERE" everywhere and was like "WTF!?" so i just started watching the blogs. (kind of true story!)

[pixelchick]

Cool nickg79!...but evidentally he has to write 'Emperor BadAlbert was here' from now on ;).

[groovearmada]

i discovered Utube byyyyyy accident, real people 4 a real world, yeah some dream, i mean drama, and u r a kool persona 2 interact with. low drama, very real.

true as an ex pat;-), got 2 have company when doing ur own thing.

+ vibes

[pixelchick]

Thanks groovearmada! I try to keepp it real ;). Yeah, it's some adjustment being an expat, but nice to have company like you. Take care, m'friend.

[groovearmada]

*accident* search 4 music vids... N order 2 keep language skills from the host country, I listen to music vids, ala nomoto karia:karly "adieu wa kanshi kotoba",Pizzicato 5 "7p.m.Tokyo", Towa Tei "Technova", Cornelius "Drop" & then I crashed a wedding w/ Fishmans "Ikareta baby"...serendipity... & FPM - "city light"

[pixelchick]

Hey groovearmada! Cool! Great way to immerse yourself in a language through music. Thanks for the recommendations as well! ;D

[xxDanceTubexx]

Oh hell yeah! Towa Tei (the DJ from Deee-Lite).. I remember seeing "Technova" music video on MTV's Amp late at night , I think it was on Saturdays/Sunday mornings

[kwbsystems]

I discovered YouTube while searching for episodes of the Canadian television show "DeGrassi Next", that were banned in the U.S.

[pixelchick]

Cool kwbsystems! I know I'm dating myself, but I used to watch Degrassi High ALL the time when I was growing up. I like how they say 'aboot'instead of 'about'! LOL!:D

[f0x9]

what is the highest level of education you finished? just wondering, dont be offended :P

[pixelchick]

Okay f0x9 XD! No offense taken, but I'm not entertaining you with an answer to yer question 'cus I know I come off like a TOTAL airhead on this vid :P.
