hello, friends!

[DavidFausset]

The men hold each others hands in Korea? that's hilarious. Especially considering that displaying affection in public is such a taboo over there. Or is it? That's just what I read. Anyway that's brilliant.

[BleuBeth]

Korean does sound awesome XD

[DarthServer]

Fantastic to hear you're doing fantastic! You should definitely go to ireland and make a video.

Also, I like wearing pink shoes, I don't see that as a girl trait!

[gymer15]

you are most honorable

[BullpenMan]

I'd glad to see your face is as beautiful as mine, deary.

[hopeonatenspeed]

haha.

it is good to have equivalent faces. hah.

[GreenFairyPrincess]

come visit when in the UK ;)

[idlechimp]

Do they hang Christmas decorations where you are? Are they different kind than the light we have in the US? Oh, and go Team Charlie!! (Bella's Dad)

[hopeonatenspeed]

yeah...

they don't really do christmas here...

they do have some decorations and such in the stores...

but it is nothing like at home.

[Rutle]

Yay mini korean adventure I look forward to this and can't wait for the album.

[BriIsTheFinestCheese]

[treviott]

[hopeonatenspeed]

[iwantaweasleysweater]

Are you going to LeakyCon '11?

[hopeonatenspeed]

nothing could stop me!

[ShakespeareFrost]

Yay mini-Korean adventures!!

[hopeonatenspeed]

they really are my favorite.

[ghostwritten87]

Yey, a hopeonatenspeed video :D Nice to see your face too. I love Ireland, super-jealous you might study there!

[hopeonatenspeed]

thanks, friend!

[BellsWolf]

Haha the last few seconds of your video your face/tone of voice crack me up.

What was going on?

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahaha.

i was trying to avoid being run over by the crazies on the scooters that always try to run me over.

[BellsWolf]

=D I am glad you succeeded!

[lamarnza]

OHAI! It has been a long time.

You're John's best friend. Well guess what, I'm Hank's. Yeah. I gave him the drawing that was colorful from his video. Not trying to be annoying. Sorry.

Are you going to DFTBA your album?

[hopeonatenspeed]

it is a wrock album...

and wrock bands don't sign with labels.

yay for hank friends.

[lamarnza]

O. OK!

[emmfan09]

HAHAHAHA "mmm Edward Cullen-y." That's wonderful. And whoop, I am so excited for your album! That's incredibly thrilling. It must be like babysitting ... but with your own child.

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahahaha.

something like that.

[WithLoveAntonina]

your videos always make me smile :)

and now I really want to visit Korea

[hopeonatenspeed]

you totally should.

it is a really fun place...

it makes me sad that not many people know all that much about it.

[eeks1120]

Yay! It's good to see you on this again! I can't wait till your album is out, any idea when the release will be?

And when you go to Ireland, can you pack me in your bag please? *puppy dog eyes*

[hopeonatenspeed]

sooon!

sometime in the next two weeks.

hopefully.

yes. i will leave a special place in my bag just fo ryou.

[eeks1120]

Sweet! *grabs pillow and toothbrush*

[ImArielle]

woah you're in Korea that's cool! What have you been doing there?

[hopeonatenspeed]

i'm teaching english to korean kids.

[PHvlogger]

YAY! I MISSED YOU!

[hopeonatenspeed]

it is good to know you were missed.

[SunnySideUp1518]

I love you.

[hopeonatenspeed]

thanks so much, friend!

[seaottersoup]

HI Paige! I don't really have a question for you -- it's more of a request actually. Could you do a video where you tell us more about your job -- how many hours you teach in a day/week, how many students, their age range, their range in English proficiency at the start, the amount of preparation you have to do, the things you like most and least about the job, etc? I wanna know more!! Thanks for considering this.

[hopeonatenspeed]

i can totally do that!

probably sometime next week.

[seaottersoup]

Yay! Looking forward to it. <3

[sparedtowin]

sounds like you're having an awesome time :) i can't wait for your album!

:D <3

[hopeonatenspeed]

it is a really great time here.

i love it.

[LAshlieH]

Oh Paige, your videos always make me so happy! You're just very fun.

Have you tried the squid? ...thoughts on that?

A master's program in Ireland sounds amazing. I've always wanted to go there.

[hopeonatenspeed]

i'm not a huge fan of squid. i don't mind it when it is friend...

but here it comes in these jerky like strips most often.

gross.

[jcourt404]

your hair looks great in this video, by the way!

[hopeonatenspeed]

yay! thanks!

[artsyfashion]

What camera do you use?

That's so cool that you're in Korea. I can't wait for your album. That's amazing! It's actually a really good idea to film your videos while walking in Korea. It's really, really cool. <3

[hopeonatenspeed]

jvc everio something or other.

outside in korea is fun...

i forget how much different from outside at home it can be.

[midnightbreeze2]

Oh!!!! I've missed your free verse, you sparkling debutante, you!

Have you lost weight? I know it seems like such a weird question to ask, but if I lost weight I would be bragging my pants off because they're so loose!

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahaha.

thanks, friend.

i have lost weight!

it isn't such a weird question. ha.

[songsfrompaul]

You're going to Ireland? That's (reasonably) close to me! :D

[hopeonatenspeed]

i know!

we could totally be irl friends!

[WeAreNargles]

My cousin lived in Korea for two years and she said that Koreans LOVE spam. She also said that it's like $15 dollars a can over there. So if you're going to a potluck party and need some spam, I'd be happy to send you some since it's so cheap here. XD Cultural differences for the win!

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahaha.

they do put spam in a lot of things here.

i am not a fan.

[781228XX]

how do you feel about sporks?

[hopeonatenspeed]

i am a huge fan...

find a way to make a spork/chopstick hybrid and i would never need anything else in my life.

[Geoffafaaa]

Have I mentioned I love you?!?!

Yay for Ireland =]

I miss your face on skype! =(

<3

[hopeonatenspeed]

boo for time zones. i should be on tomorrow morning...

which would be your friday night?

lovelovelovelovelove!

[andamariaa]

I really liked this random, mini vlog. You make me happy I'm subscribed to you. And I can't stinkin' wait for your cd!!

: D

[hopeonatenspeed]

it shall be finished sooooon!

[sojimmie11]

I'm thinking of trying to go to Infinitus...I probably wouldn't even go home beforehand...just go straight from running with the bulls to hanging out with other HP nerds.

Actually, that running with the bulls part isn't true. I could never do it. I definitely want to watch it though!

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahah.

do it! all the cool kids are...

or something.

[whifling]

So upbeet! XD Makes me happy ( ^^)

[hopeonatenspeed]

i'm so glad.

i like making people happy.

[serenamina]

OMGosh! You're going to be at Infinitus?!!? I totally want to meet you there! :D

[hopeonatenspeed]

yes!

we will totally be infinitus buddies! it will be beautiful.

[base753]

looking forward to your wizard rock album, Paige!

[hopeonatenspeed]

thanks, friend!

[lucilombardo]

lol "they're looking at me weird, but they always do that" hahaha! well, since you asked, i have been doing very well, thank you :) i'm glad that you have been, too!

[hopeonatenspeed]

yay!

i'm so glad that you have been doing well!

[theshyfox]

I want to go and buy pink slippers now... because I realized I don't have any...

[hopeonatenspeed]

do it! all the cool kids have pink slippers...

obviously.

[TheHumanApple]

Gender Lines: 1:20

The mere concept of that reversal of North-American reactionary heteronormativity makes me smile.

[hopeonatenspeed]

hooray!

[clue111]

SCORE!

Me and my friends are going to Infinitus too!

[hopeonatenspeed]

yes!

we can be infinitus buddies.

[kaylasturner]

I wish they had an ethnomusicology program at my college, because that's probably what I would have majored in instead of elementary education/japanese

[hopeonatenspeed]

yeah, i got my undergrad in music ed...

but i got super interested in my world music class.

i love it.

[UberFridgeKing]

The weather there is so so bright! OOOHHHH IRELAND! What part?

[hopeonatenspeed]

yeah, it is nice out today!

belfast!

[UberFridgeKing]

@hopeonatenspeed AHHHH up north, have friends up there I met at a gameing con down here its meant to be well awesome so it is

[hopeonatenspeed]

awesome.

maybe i can be friends with your friends. hah.

connections!

[UberFridgeKing]

@hopeonatenspeed Thatd be well fun that would. I think they still have another wee bit of uni left to do as well. Uni connections even better.

[fizzylimon]

aww I was laughing and smiling the whole video. You're wonderful.

And am I reading correctly that you want to study ethnomusicology in Ireland? Because that would be SWEET. And having an ethnomusicology friend in Ireland while I may or may not be studying in England/Germany would be awesome. I'd love to write scottish-folk inspired postminimalist music. I think you're the only one who may understand that last sentence XD

[hopeonatenspeed]

i responded to this...

but it didn't show up.

my quick recap:

that is an awesome sentence.

let's be nerdy music expat friends.

[fizzylimon]

expat meaning expatriate? Because yes.

[KTentacles]

why do your videos never show up in my subscription box!!?

Oh. well I just saw your twitter first I guess.

you are adorable. I wish America's men were more like Korean men ;)

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahah.

korean men are fun...

i just wish that the didn't all dress like girls.

[Justtubed]

i am super excited for christmas. I love it. Since I'm a daily vlogger, I'm going to feature one christmas song a day until Christmas in my videos. I'm also going to watch one christmas movie a day until christmas, but I won't be featuring that in my vlog.

[hopeonatenspeed]

haha.

that would make for a pretty long vlog.

yay! christmas!

[crimsong19]

Very cool, Paige!

OMFG! Outdoor vlogging!

[hopeonatenspeed]

hahaha.

all the cool kids are doing it...

[lexaguitar16]

[RachReads]

What would you be studied Ireland?? That's very cool!

[hopeonatenspeed]

ethnomusicology, yo!

[RachReads]

What is that?

[hopeonatenspeed]

it is the study of world music/music and culture.

[RachReads]

That sounds really interesting! I hope it all works out!

[BrandNewGen]

Your videos always make me smile. :)

[hopeonatenspeed]
