… as in, literally, I am talking about my shoes!
So, yes; I have actually had this YouTube channel for aaaaages, and now I’ve added the link to my other social media buttons at top right. It’s been a sad neglected little thing, barely used, except for once six years ago! forgive me father, it’s been six years since my last confession… 😉 when I joined in that worldwide accents and pronunciation thing-y that a lot of bloggers did … that was fun! Although I thought that list didn’t have nearly the variety of words it could have had and there could have been more interesting questions too… the one about throwing toilet paper all over someone’s house still has me going “whaaaaat?” Anyway that lonely little vlog is no longer an only child 🙂 If I sound a bit nervous it’s because I am! Definitely it feels super weird to sit all by yourself, except for one curious pussy cat…! and talk to your computer, just so unnatural. Well more accurately you’re sorta talking to your own reflection really which feels like a very awkwardly self-involved thing to do. Also, one thing that really stands out to me after I’d listened back to myself is that I have to learn to speak up louder! Honestly, I am a very quiet person, but the volume thing? I really should know that by now… I’ve been getting the “speak up!!” feedback my whole life. That Seinfeld episode about the “low talker”? yep, that one hit pretty close to home for me!
HOWEVER! having said that, I think I should do more vlogs, it’s a good self-development tool in my quest to overcome the aforementioned “low-talking” and my shyness, maybe even help with my longterm horror of public speaking… so maybe when I make my next pair of shoes I’ll throw together another one. Yes, I am currently planning another pair of shoes… and steeling myself to cut into some of my precious fish leather that I bought in Iceland *eeeeek!! the thought of cutting into it sounds terrifying! but I think I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.
