How to Become An Adult

Check out Ilene Cooper's An Angel in My Pocket: http://dft.ba/-TCa or if you prefer easy readers, Lucy on the Loose! http://dft.ba/-TCd Or if you prefer picture books, The Golden Rule! http://dft.ba/-TCf

They're all great, and I'm not just saying that because Ilene Cooper made my whole life possible.

In which John talks about the crushing monotony and paralyzing terror of one's first years entering the post-school world of grown-ups, and how getting a mentor, like the one John found in the author Ilene Cooper, can get you through.

I am in a successful Time Lord rock band. Or, rather, I was. Will be. Tenses are troubling for us, okay??

So basically if you aren't Charlie McDonnell, Liam Dryden, Alex Day, Ed Blann or Michael Aranda, your life sucks?

Pretty much.

@proof2580 Oh, I wasn't commenting about the vanity conversation. I was commenting about your first comment about clothes-fitting.

Think about it. John probably knows his shirt doesn't fit. But why does it matter? He vlogs because he wants to share parts of his life with his fans. And, I'm sorry, but you kind of took advantage of that. I am glad that you told him about his shirt politely, though.

It's not vastly improving anyone's life, so why say it at all?

I have one of the 42000 books that you signed. And I read it. And it was awesome. Thank you for sacrificing the well being of your hand for my education/entertainment.

@lilDgoes2mars Why does clothes fitting matter? Well, why aesthetics matter is kind of a complicated question..but it matters to me because I'm a tailor. I make clothes fit well for a living.

Why does the definition of vanity matter? Well, it really doesn't, but you know, someone was wrong on the Internet and i was on a long train journey.

[lilDgoes2mars]

@proof2580 No offense, but why does it really matter?

[CharleyHayes08]

@PolkadottedAngels I don't think they're the only but they're certainly the best :)

[MrSimmondsTeaParty]

Ilene sounds like an escape from the Labyrinth :)

[PolkadottedAngels]

@CharleyHayes08 Yeah, pretty true (for me especially), considering Chameleon Circuit the only sucessful Trock band. Actually, I think Chameleon Circuit is the only, period.

Thank you for this video. It relates perfectly to my new video series, and Looking for Alaska was one of my favorite books of 2008.

@nagemsupreme this comment makes me happy :) start watching these videos. they'll make your life a whole lot better!

@BJMCM11 Vanity is superficiality in excess. I just said the guy's shirt doesn't fit, there's nothing overly superficial or vain about that. I'm a tailor, it's what I do.

Thinking my comment was less valid because you couldn't see me: now that's vain.

As for the rest of your reply, well you're just repeating exactly what I said.
