100 Things
{Take the 100 Things challenge!}
I saw this on my f-list a few days ago and was instantly intrigued. I love LJ, but I find it hard to keep up with sometimes, even though I'm always happier when I am posting regularly. Memes are super helpful in this regard - if I'm regularly posting about my favourite ships/characters/programs etc, then it's easier for me to pop in a few personal posts too!
I had a lot of ideas for this 100 things challenge, but they either seemed too broad and overwhelming (things I love, things I hate, music I like), too personal and introspective-y to write whilst I'm feeling as fragile as I am at the minute (memories, influences, photos, people in my life), or too similar to things I will meme about at other times (ships, characters, etc). Then, whilst browsing on YouTube as usual, I realised what I should do.
My 100 things will be 100 YouTube videos you should watch. There'll be gorgeous fan-videos for my fandoms, trailers for films or programmes that few people have heard of but should be seen, stand-up comedy that makes me laugh, music videos that rock my world, and a few odd bits and pieces that will hopefully brighten up your day as they brighten up mine. With nearly 1000 vids on my YouTube favourites, and a few more on various playlists, it shouldn't be too taxing to find videos to post. And I promise to write about them too, explaining how I came across them and why they mean something to me.
I hope you will watch and read along :D
