Observations

Hannah and I went to a Christmas party last night. There where a couple other High school age boys there, one of them a exchange student from China. Hannah hung out with them, as she realized they where also fans of “LP”, or “Lets Play”. This was a TIL for me.. LP essentially is a recorded walk-though of a video game with narration. (It’s not quite that simple really.. there is more to it than that) There are a number of youtube channels that have thousands of fans, and that (LP) is ALL these people will do… This is a seachange of entertainment, and its under the radar… I bet you didn’t even know it was a Genre of new fiction, did you. I would guess it almost might fall under Fan Fiction. And if you don’t know what that is, you gotta catch up.

Anyway.. So, you would think that Hannah might be self conscious around boys her age.

Not.

The exchange students Dad had recently sent some Chinese snacks to him. One of the snacks was simply “chicken feet”. Just like we have vacuum packed whatever, these things came in a commercially labeled, vacuum packed foil package. So the mom of the house offered one to the boys and they said “uhuh, no way, I don’t want to try that.” so the mom offered it to Hannah, and Hannah looked a little sideways at it….  and said “Sure!” And proceeded to try it.  The adventurous soul she is showed those boys who’s the BOSS.

Anyway,  I dedicate this awesome quote to Hannah:

Here is to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes the ones who see things differently -they are not fond of rules- You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can not do is ignore them because they change things, they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. -Steve Jobs

One Comment to “Observations”

There are actually some LP’ers who have millions of fans. Over three million, last time I looked at Pewdie’s account. *Checks exact number* – 3,082,532. Yeah. Thank you for the dedication! The only thing I could think of while reading it was the rocket ship that had an oxygen problem because the hole that something-or-other was round and the something-or-other was square. Or maybe it was the other way around, I don’t remember. It’s just some obscure fact we learned in 7th grade GT. Anyway, for some reason, that was the only thing I could think about while reading it. Repetition!
