In today’s video, Crazy Border Crossing!!, the camera cuts out after Jennie yells “He’s been hit! He’s been hit!”

When I started watching: Pretty much from the beginning. I was browsing through Youtube, seeing which channels were the most popular, and I came across one of Bree’s vlogs. I was instantly hooked.

Favorite Video: The most memorable and most exciting, up until this point, is The Human Ransom. I also really liked the Vegas videos though. That was definitely the first (and not the last) time I got really scared for the characters.

Favorite Character: Currently? Daniel. He is just such a wonderful person who cares very deeply for his friends. If all this were real, I’d want to be Daniel’s best friend. Of all-time though, definitely Bree. She was just so quirky and cool — can’t ever top Bree.

About My Art: I love doing line art and illustrations, so I decided to make a new cast picture that way. Let me know what you think!

When she started watching: I don’t remember exactly what video I started at, but it was before the outting of Jessica/Bree. I remember being at work and not waiting to get home to check if there was another video. Ever since then, I check everyday, multiple times a day.

Favorite Video: I LOOOVED the 12 in 12…except being on the East Coast…I almost fell asleep before we recived the last few.

Favorite character: My favorite character would have to be Sarah, hands down. She’s beautiful, smart, saracstic and genuine…you can’t beat that with a stick.

About the Art: I looove making meez…and i couldn’t sleep…so made this…hope everyone enjoys!

When she first started watching: Around My Mom’s A Freak!! I had heard about LG15 on Vh1 and thought I’d check it out. I thought this video was a lil weird but it interested me so I watched the whole season from the start and got hooked!

Favorite Video: Sister to Sister because it shows a different side of Sarah, The Human Ransom of course. I think that’s everyone’s favorite! 12 in 12 and Bloodlines, Daniel The Neanderthal, Cruisin’ With The Ladies, and Adios Amigos. I think that’s all. Haha. What can I say I love them all.

Favorite Character: I love Daniel. He is my absolute favorite. You gotta love the Beast! But my 2nd fav is Sarah. I think she’s great but taken for granted a lot of the time.

In today’s video, What Is She Saying?, Lauren invited Steve and Jonas to watch the DVD that Charlie found in a nuclear bunker. The video is of Michelle Clore speaking in a foreign language, which some community members believe is Turkish. Others have said they hear Clore say the following names: Jonas, Daniel, Sarah, Gina, and Jennie.

Can you figure out what Michelle Clore is saying?

Update: Here is the official translation provided by Jonas and Steve:

“Once in a generation, the honour of ascension is offered to a chosen few. Those selected from within the Hymn of One must posses the vision and clarity of mind required to cast off dull care and understand the world as it truly is.

Those who hear the call are selected because of their standing in society and influence on the masses. Standing shoulder to shoulder with members of the original twelve is an honour and respnsibility that must be earned. The final test to attain ascension demands the sacrifice of the life of one of several young Americans.

The former friends of a ceremony girl named Bree Avery their mission to destabilise the Order has already cost us more than we are willing to disclose.

The names of the hunted five are Jonas, Daniel, Sarah, Gina and Jennie. They are located in Southern California and can be traced via the videos they insist on uploading to the internet. Provide evidence of the death of one of the five at your hand and ascension will be granted.”

A translation has been completed by niyeben:

“The honor of rise is given a few people of every generation. The one who has been chosen from God Himself must leave the world’s trouble and see it (the world) as it should be seen.

People who hear this call have been chosen because of their power to effect the masses. To stay side by side is an honor and responsibility that everyone should have. Many of the young Americans have to be sacrificed. Bree Avery´s old friends have done so much damage to us that we wouldn’t want to explain.

Those 5 people who have to be hunted are Jonas, Daniel, Sara, Gina and Jennie. They’re in Southern California and you can find them by the videos they uploaded. If you kill them, prove it with documents and get your reward.”

Because my boss is awesome, I recently got some time off work. And I thought, what better way to spend it than by traveling the country and along the way getting to meet some of our wonderful community members? My dear stuffed life-mate Bethany, star of LonelyJew15, joined me on this voyage.

My first stop was New Boston, Ohio to visit the one, the only, PJ AKA SonofaStich. PJ works with Adam Daroff and I on LonelyJew15 (as well as the million other community projects he’s worked on) and I truly consider him the little brother I never had. Meeting PJ was just like continuing all the hours and hours of IRC conversations we have had…but in PERSON! PJ helped me name my rental car: SparkleAut.

Next came a trip to Turbotville, Pennsylvania to visit the amazing and wonderful Sheetzjunkie! Sheetz has been a long-standing member of the community, is a DJ on BreeFM as well as currently working on the ARG series Creature, Inc. Sheetz and her husband, whom we affectionately call Toothbone, had a great time exploring her hometown including a local nature preserve.

Then it was off to Chicago to enjoy some authentic Chicago Deep Dish pizza with someone we all know and love dearly: hopefulsemblance. I’ve come to know hopeful through every aspect of lonelygirl: the forums, IRC, comment boards…I’ve enjoyed his community videos and followed his fantastic LG-related blog. Bethany was especially excited to meet him since giving a heartfelt acceptance speech after LonelyJew was awarded two prestigious Hopey Awards this year. The two got along smashingly and hopeful commented, “gosh, she’s a lot smaller than I expected her to be!”

If you’d like to see more of my adventures, I’ve uploaded all my trip photos to my Bebo account and Bethany edited together some short videos at her YouTube account.

Thanks for reading!

‘lonelygirl’ Gets Popular With Investors (Wall Street Journal)

By Poeticity

P. Monkey fights the Order! Not very well apparently. Although, Lucy is a clever gal!

When she started watching: I started watching lonelygirl15 when all the hype happened about the show being fake. I was wondering what the heck was going on, so I watched all the videos from the beginning till the point they were at. I’ve been hooked since.

I started watching KateModern early on when I found out it was pioneered by the producers of lonelygirl15. I started watching about six videos into the series. Even though it wasn’t all that interesting to start, I stayed with it. I’m SO glad I did.

The thing I like best of about LG15 is the fact that we get to solve puzzles and figure out clues from the videos. It really makes the show much more interesting.

Favorite Video: My favorite video is The Human Ransom because they took an outside character and put it into the show.

What would she like to see in a future video? A crossover between KateModern and lonelygirl15 of course! How awesome would that be. *wink wink* Creators
