November 19th: HOORAY HOORAY HAPPY HOORAY!

[TheShellbert]

I think the title of this video kind of spoiled the surprise, John :P

[Tcr810XP]

I want to set you saying RING RING... RING! as my ringtone



[KatetheMotorMouth]

SPOILER ALERT: It's going to be published.

[Shamhatter]

Aww look how ugly the phone is!

[JessiGVids]

i've been watching these videos anticipating watching the ones that were made on my birthday, but I guess November 18th was a Sunday in 2007.... :(

[dftbawolf]

According to a British law passed in 1845, attempting to commit suicide was a capital offense. Offenders could be hanged for trying.

[ScullycommaKristen]

Ahh, john and i used to have the same call phone...... as did many, many, other people. But i don't admire many of them.

[dannerzme]

@HelloRaynbo aww :)

[devonriley415]

CUTE WITH CHRIS REFERENCE! :D

[dannerzme]

@devonriley415 huh?

[spamonater]

If you publish one of john's books he will respond by giving you a little bit to much information about his day.(well at least if he also had a prostate exam that day too)

[19ladybug95]

hi david! lol

[jaimelespoptarts]

The title is kinda a spoiler. XD

[inkblackRose]

and thus will grayson, will grayson was born.

[AwesomeisHaleigh]

the day before this my twins nieces were born :) <3

[graybutcolorful]

And thus, my favorite collab book was born.

[ReKrisB]

I love the way he said "Sorry John. All your dreams are dead" ^_^ Made of awesome.

[dreamkacher4]

I just finnished reading Will Grayson Will Grayson today after buying it yesterday :D along with paper towns and looking for alaska

[LillianMoon]

Will Grayson, Will Grayson is my favorite. :)

[lemondrop5578]

...Hank was kidnapped?

/I'm sorry I wasn't there for this. >_>

[EllieMcDonnell18]

@lemondrop5578

Yeah he was kipnapped in the previous hank video by a masked stranger (Katherine in a black robe), it's hilarious, watch it!

[TwilitSun]

It's weird now that I've READ the book he's talking about.

[Handitar]

"This is so much better than the part of my day when the doctor was giving me a prostate exam."

[RecklessNocturne]

you don't have your seat belt on.

that's unfortunate. :(

but you're still awesome.

[Carliekinz]

I get so Happy when I see John happy!

[lilylpotter3]

when you were going to the doctor's office, i was thinking, oh okay its for your ear but then you were on the phone and i was like oh.......

[maymay8914]

I had that phone! lol

[happybirthday101201]

Hi David!

Haven't read the book yet... BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT! I can't even imagine how awesome it's going to be... John AND David!? HOORAY!

[Iniss132]

Hi David

[Breetwee]

John blinks many times in this video. Space time continuum is disrupted. But not really.

[Luvyababe222]

even though i knew it was going to get published because it is on my nightstand, i was still waiting in anticipation.

[silverturtle14]

PUFF LEVELS RISE!!!!!!

[iambendickerson]

Dude! Is your ringtone "C.R.E.A.M" by the Wu-Tang Clan? THAT'S AWESOME!!!

[madasrabbits06]

yayyyyy early publishing stages of will grayson will grayson! :)

[LizzieQueen18]

Woooo Will Grayson Will Grayson!!!1

[katie0kates]

Hey 2007 John!

IN about three years an amazig movie is coming out. You willlove it!

[rothbern]

wait cwc reference?

[g2theIrishPianist]

!!! Irrelevant to the video (kind of), but the sidebar ad was for "This Machine Pwns N00bs"!

[hermyslilsis]

WILL GRAYSON WILL GRAYSON

[TheLavLav]

@hermyslilsis I know! 4 years later and I'm about to start reading it today :) (I waited way too long to order it off of amazon)

[ferngirltlc]

I like how that fact that your brother got "kidnapped" was just mentioned in passing during the last couple seconds of the video.

[Futuredudeman]

"Another day I'll start to worry about how they're gonna sell this book" made me laugh, knowing WGWG ended up being #3 on the NY Times Bestseller list.

[behindthesun02]

@Futuredudeman Plus it was such a made of awesome book!

[booksandblades]

My birthday video!

[AllieYourAlly]

So when you said, "I was wearing a gown and I DON'T LIKE TO BE TOUCHED THERE." I totally knew it was a prostate exam.

....is that weird? Yes, but what's weirder is that I guessed that based on an episode of Family Guy [which my family has watched about three times in total] that my brother was watching yesterday. Yes, this is weird.

[hlisi]

Whatever happened to Cute With Chris?

"All your dreams are dead."

[OutcastAngelV]

this was so much better than the part of the day where the doctor gave me a prostate exam

[Waistband100]

Did anyone see he doesn't have a seatbelt on in 0:53 to 1:10 in the video

[Beelie317]

@Waistband100 oh wow, you're right! Why is John not wearing his seat belt????  Boo!

[GracelessDementor]

This was a day after my birthday!

[DatAznGrls]

as soon i saw the description box i immediately thought "will grayson, will grayson" :]

[artvandelay13]

Hey! Past John! It comes out in April 2010, so no rush there, really. Also it's totally worth it.

Greetings from the future.

[HiBeccaBye]

Will Grayson, Will Grayson. <3

[ForeignBelle14]

This is awesome going back and seeing the beginning of the epicness that is Will Grayson, Will Grayson.

[schizaphrenic]

he's talking about will grayson will grayson here :) go watching old videos and realizing new things.

[DassMorris]

I just realized, I HAVE THE SAME CELL PHONE AS JOHN GREEN!!!! I'm being rather nerdy about this. It's awesome.

[TheSlytherinNation]

lol David Leviathan and Melina Marchetta are coming to Sydney, Australia for the writers festival and if ound out that David Levithan will be talking about Will Grayson, Will Grayson, BUT U WON'T BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[CourtneyChaos09]

Oh by summerish 2009, did you mean springish 2010?

[latestranger]

AHHHHH!!!!! I read Will Grayson, Will Grayson today and it was BLOODY FANTASTIC!!!!! I love it, and I love you, and I love David.

[SyreenInSapphire]

YES cutewithchris reference.

[gailjamin]

haha this makes me laugh because while watching this i am looking at my copy of will grayson, will grayson.

[guinivereXbloodgood]

Holy crap, I did not know that you wrote a book with David Levithan. He rocks my socks. I shall add that to my To-Read list. :]

[BrokenFish]

Happy Dance!!

[Ftmark1]

I LOVE DAVID LIVITHAN!!!

[BANGtheDoleDrums]

I once owned that cell phone, and I miss it dearly.

[hypnotisedbabe]

OMG. David Levithan?? That is so...AWESOME! :D

I've already heard of the book (and was freaking pumped) but now I'm even more excited. I just don't know if I'll be able to wait until next year to read it... :P

[horsewhisperer990]

I wonder what happens when celebrities need prostate exams? That's gotta be awkward.

[porcupine179]

Once you reach celebrity status, you instantly become immune to anything negative other than drug addiction and mental disorders.

[kira902k]

It is summer 2009...no book?

Too busy with the screenplay, I suppose. :)

[porcupine179]

The book is done and everything!!! Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan will be released in April, 2010. You can actually preorder it RIGHT NOW on amazon. (do it. you know you want to.)

Expect it to be AWESOME.

[kira902k]

Yes, I know, I'm so excited! Yay! Thank you for reminding me though. =D

[gibbozi]

ARRGH. Did you see his brain trying to pour out.

Poor John. :(

[cynanner2010]

It happens to be summerish of 2009... where is this book?

[AmariT]

I just looked it up. It's called Will Grayson, Will Grayson and will be available April 2010. Also, it's being published by Dutton Juvenile, which is part of Penguin.

[ritmfapefae]

It's going to be published in April 2010.

[ritmfapef]

YESSS! i love both of yours and david's writing!

i can't wait, when does it come out and tell us info on it like the name and what it's about? pleasee

and have you read nick and norah's infinite playlist by david and rachel cohn?

[FIGOMAN11]

I was wondering the results of this, but then I saw the title of the video and figured that it may be published.

[weirdnesprevails]

a) I have the same phone.

b) OMG I LOVE YOU. AND DAVID LEVIATHAN. When is this book coming out because there will be so much awesome that WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS....well at least, that's how I see it.

PS - I have started this week, as it is the Spring Break of my senior year of high school, watching all of the B20 videos from start to ...well here. :D

Sorry for not commenting as much as I'd like but I feel they're a little too late. But...yay!

[rooneygirl7]

nice ringtone lol

[PrettyGreenGoat]

I MET DAVID LEVITHAN YESTERDAY. It was super exciting.

[CubieJ]

Haha, that Cute With Chris reference just made my day about 5x more awesome. :3

[lavalamp3770]

I noticed that too, i just about died when he said that :D

[cookie4monster4]

I love Chris Leavins! Wow it made me happy when I knew what you were talking about.

PS you're way cooler than Chris ;D

[buggigurl713]

I have the same phone!

[senorsqueakydesk]

1:57 is so similar to the video when John finds out that is has won the Printz Honor.

[vcav22]

sorry john, all your dreams are dead.

[jayda737]

It's like you don't even care your brother just pretended to be kidnapped. :)

[DittoFreak]

[dawnatthedisco]

[ALIVlogs]

Me too! Happy sweet sixteen to us! This book is going to be the best present I could have ever asked for.

[MarleeSunshine]

I always love the facial expression John does whenever he gets good news over the phone.

[kellybellymofuckaah]

@MarleeSunshine it always makes me smile :)

[Pieninja14]

I remember once when I was waiting for a phone call like you were.

So I hit the phone with a pencil and it started ringing immediately. Pencils make phones rign!! It's true!!! Kind of...

[fiyeroswitch]

I'm so jealous! David Levithan is one of my heroes.

[brigittexanne]

[TobiSkye]

If you took the last name Levithan and added an A in between the I and the T that would be the coolest last name ever.

[brookeworm3]

WOW! John and I have the same phone...that's so cool

[JerryJealousy]

hahah that was so good

[superfranklis]

[BrynandBianca]

[JBluver994]

[AustralianStallion90]

[gaarakills447]

Best wishes~

[MissEmilyBlack]

Hi David! And I feel your joy, John! I can hardly wait for Paper Towns, and now I have something more to look foward to. w00t!

[jb82792]

hi David Levithan :)

[artistsComplex]

i can relate to the part where you say you discuss sorting out how you'll feel in advance. ^_^ that is, if you're not kidding.

nerdfighters rock.

[krysty1]

Woo cute with chris quotes! Congrats on the book, all your dreams are alive.

[natno910]

They should nominate Willie for CWC ^.^

[erinrockssocks]

[tastic93]

wait....this book isnt paper towns right? gah, im a new nerdfighter. so like, paper towns comes out in september and this other book comes out in summer of 2009ish? or is it all the same book. HURUMPH.

[AdamsKid93]

No, this book isn't papertowns. Papertowns comes out this fall! And the other book comes out next summer! They're different but both bound to be good if they're being written partly by John Green!

[tastic93]

yayyyy okay!!

2 new books to look forward too (i LOVED looking for alaska and an abundance of katherine)

yeah, for some reason, i thought this mightve been paper towns and then the release date changed

thanks for clearing that up =)

[AdamsKid93]

Your Welcome! :)

DFTBA

[bLuEp00tzie]

I have that phone!!! :D

-Greta

[samo0912]

i mean a prostate exam is great, but hearing one of your books are being published would be better i guess...

lol j/k

[michaelritchie200]

David Levithan wrote my favourite book of all time - Boy Meets Boy. Woo! He is made of awesome.

As are the vlogbrothers, of course, but that goes without saying.

[xXVanityPurpleXx]

[maryflt]

[KeeperOfTheMuffins]

Is your ringtone the Wu Tang Clan john?

[KeeperOfTheMuffins]

I just read through the comments. It is!

Nice one John. ;) Gotta love the Wu Tang.

[KeeperOfTheMuffins]

I'm not even sure if its possible, but you having a Wu Tang ringtone makes me love being a nerdfighter even more.

DFTBA!

[yourjaneinlights]

congrats! how exciting! and yeah, I know this was a year ago, but whatever. still exciting!

[catiecat101]

This was my 21st birthday... and John got happy news. I loves it. ^_^

[AClownNamedMarie]

[YunieTheOracle]

Coincidentally, I just finished reading Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which is also co-written by David Levithan. COOL!

[rawkarpojk]

You have GOT to stop doing PS's after the logothing at the end. I always notice while pressing "back" in my browser.

[apkARRR]

gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh the wait is unbearable

[dearxjamie]

I can't believe you two are writing a book together!

I did a happy dance, I won't lie.

[muggleotter5]

[fuzzyslippersx23]

Wow, congratulations!

[dawl23face]

[julienunruh]

Right after he said that I was like "Ha!"

[pinkstarcloud]

I can't wait for this book.

[CoffeeShopPunk]

AHahaha...

"Sorry John, all you're dreams are dead."

[NumNums94]

i like the nerd glasses way better.

[kashiiampersand]

It's alarming how much you look at the camera while driving.

[harrypotterfan0]

I canNOT wait for this book! YYYYAAAAYYYY

[papplegrassbracelet]

again, a pauser - right after the "ya i'm nervous - i threw up in my mouth a little..."

hilarious - i used to carry pepto around with me while studying for exams in university...

:) rock on nerdfighter!

[JadeyChi]

XD All your dreams are dead!

[dew102x]

hahaha we have the same phone!!!!!!

[regularguy5mb]

Congratulations John!!!

And next time you're waiting for the phone to ring, just repeat to yourself:

"I cannot make my phone ring by looking at it."

"I cannot make my phone ring by looking at it!"

[heavell99]

All your dreams are dead.

Ehh. <3

[happyemofreak]

haha your really funny and cute

[Kneesoxrock]

I'm happy to hear that getting a book published is more fun than a prostate exam. :)

Good luck with the advertising!

[App1eScruffs9]

WHOA!! when u were yelling at ur phone to ring my cell phone rang! wierd....

[gonnabeanauthor]

XD how weird!

[Jdrapstar]

the cute with chris part was cool

[air1cat]

puff level looks high

thats understandable...

congrats!!!

[JaddziaDaxAMV]

TMI!! TMI!!

[annawritedraw]

First the Inky now this! Congratulations from a fellow SCBWI nerdfighter.

[Churumbelita]

I love that you watch Cute With Chris! :)

[kitkatbyte]

Congratulations, John!!! That is really exciting news!

You tend to say really TMI things to people on the phone. (HA!)

Also... the whole Hank kidnapping thing is baffling me. Thankfully I will be caught up with Brotherhood 2.0 in about 7 minutes and can go over to My Pants and most likely get an explanation there.

[flylikeacow]

Wow. A book by my two of my three favourite authors of all time. YESS! *Happy dance*

[Urbanlioness]

Excuse the French, but i must say:

You and David Levithan writing a book together?

F*ck, yeah! That's like, going to be the best book of 2009.

[psushgirl]

omg! congratulations john! i can't wait to read it! :0)

[sarahsbooks]

i just read a collaboration book by David Levithan, Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist, and i just loved it, so i reccomend it to everyone, and john, congratulations.

[Lydiacrane]

Congrats- Time to go happy dancing!

[Larryk12308]

Somewhere there's a great pun about connecting "IN your pants" to prostate exams, but to me that's just hitting below the belt.
