published on the internet Jun 30th, 2008
I have made an introductory vlog post and uploaded it to youtube as incentive to like, you know, eventually make an ACTUAL vlog. So now I’m committed. So this is the teaser about how I don’t know what I’m doing and then the next time I post a vlog entry I probably will, so you know it’s going to be OFF THE PAGE with its awesomeness. Also this has helped me break in my youtube account, so whatevers. I don’t know. I think all of my vlogs will be segued with 10 sentences of justification.
I guess I shall now sit back and wait for the internet Oscars to roll in.

I laughed. I cried. It became a part of me. And then I sneezed because of the high pollen content.
It’s really very cool, Courtney! Congrats on steppin’ out!
Hee hee hee! Thanks! It’s so nothing, but oh wells. I feel it ties me to actually having to vlog later. HOW CAN I GO BACK AFTER A 19 SECOND INTRO? I can’t. I just can’t.
There should totally be Internet Oscars! You are pretty much guaranteed Best 19 Second Intro Vlog.
So for about 13 seconds I was thinking…that would be just like Courtney to make a vlog and not even APPEAR in it. But then you DID! And it was good! And there was much rejoicing!
And then I realized that those were some of the best 19 seconds of vlog I\’ve seen because it\’s not just you staring at the camera either. KUDOS!
Now I’m sitting back waiting to be blown off the page by the real thing. ;)
Oh, man. That’s such a cool teaser. I mean, it’s like arty and fun and I had no idea what your voice sounded like and there it is.
Seriously. I love me some vlogs. This is going to be wicked. Let’s do this thing.
DUDE I GET TO HEAR YOUR VOICE??!
I’m starting to laugh at myself because every single time I post anywhere involving you these days IT IS IN ALL CAPS, but I mean, seriously. This is awesome. I AM WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN SUPPORT OF THIS VLOG BUSINESS even if all the newfangled technology is makin’ me feel like a granny.
I LOVE IT ALREADY! Now get to making more, woman!
I LOVE it. I’m especially fond of the ending. :-)
zomg. do not fail us now. you have committed to vlogging and our expectations (and popcorn) are waiting to be fullfilled (or eaten. whatever)… kidding. you’re just too neat and i can’t wait for more ^_^
you’re so damn awesome.
AHHH! I love it! It’s so artsy fartsy (and I mean that in the best way possible)!!
Good start!
Annika: Hah! I love that. That would be awesome. I wonder what the Internet Oscar Statuette would look like? Maybe a golden Bill Gates? ;)
Emily: I debated keeping my face out of it! But I didn’t want to be yelled at. ;) And I feel like I’ll NEVAR live up to my 19 seconds of introduction! Thanks for watching!
TKT: Cheers! I am sure I will be falling flat on my face before long.
A: DUDE YOU GOT TO HEAR MY VOICE! Except that’s not what it sounds like really, when I am talking normally it goes up to a decibal only DOGS CAN HEAR. And maybe cats. YOU ARE NO GRANNY, YOU ARE ON GOOD READS! AND I LOVE THAT YOU ARE ON THE CAPSWAGON! LOOK AT YOU, BRINGING THE CAPS OUT IN ME.
Lori: I’M ON IT, BB! <3
Julie: :) Thank you so much for watching!!
Tristian: <3 you should give me vlogging tips! I am like all ready to fail and I <3 your vlogs.
Kelvin: IT’S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE! ;) TY.
Ula: Hee! I’ll take that in the best way possible! Thank you.
Daisy: I’m completely terrified. Thank you. :)
I totally got a bee up my nose. Well, almost.
Good on you for giving this a go–I would be too terrified to try this. How about the next Vlog you suck back some hellium so we can compare the voices? Now that would be Cheeze Whiz, let me tell you! Whoo–hoo!
Aren’t you just the coolest?
You were already super cool and now you go and do something like this.
you cannot fail. for realz. it is not an option! heh. just relax and pick a person you know will watch and talk to them. when you’re finished, it’ll feel natural. a conversation more than a vlog. well. that’s what i do anyways. enjoy it! (also: i enjoy my delete and retry option quite a lot!)
Angela: Hee. Each vlog comes with free bee up the nose! And you know. I am so desperate for vlog material, I just might try the helium thing. ;)
Vero: aw! Hearts!
Tristian: Hah! WELL IF YOU SAY I WON’T FAIL, THEN IT MUST BE SO. ;) I’m terrified. But I will try to do well. Thank you for the tips. Eeek.
Courtney!!! I just saw your BOOK TRAILER! OMG, it is like the best freakin trailer I’ve ever seen! The music is perfect, and the text is powerful.
I’m so excited! Sooooo excited!!
*babbles uncontrolably about the level of excitement*
*forgets to breathe*
*faints*
Your comment gave me the BIGGEST HEART ATTACK EVER, just so you know. It was the first thing I saw when I started up my computer and the first thing I thought was, “OH MY GOD IT LEAKED” and it had, indeed leaked. Oh wait. I mean, what trailer? You saw nothing! ;)
Just joking. I am THRILLED you like it that much, seriously!!! I am going to treasure your reaction forever, I can’t tell you enough!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about the heart attack. I bet though, my comment will be the first of many. Seriously, that is one wicked trailer–I am so stoked about the book!!
Eee, thank you! Now I’ll have to worry that the book lives up to the trailer!! ;)
I cannot find the book trailer, but I LOVE the VLOG! Just the right amount of intrigue. And though you did show your face and we did hear your voice, you didn’t show yourself talking, which keeps the mystery alive!
aah! thank you danette! i think i will have a problem keeping that mystery alive in subsequent vlogs though, and it’s driving me nuts!! :D
