o hai. nobody reads my blog so i can get away with being entirely unoriginal. woopaaaa.
- everyone loves you, you mentalist, despite your age. kill your parents and come to a gathering kthx.
- you're so lovely, and not as short as people made out (which enrages me to no end). your hugs are pretty amazing, as are your hats.
- BUT OIM EATING AN ORANGGGGE
- hardly know you but you were absolutely lovely to me from the get-go. i don't see why people tease you so much. you seem like such a kind-hearted person.
- i think i like you more than you like me, lul. but srsly, you're a rate laugh and i'd like to spend more time with you in the future. ps i forgive you about the camera. it was definitely your fault though.
- sometimes i forget about all the kind things you've done for me in the past, and i truly regret that. i think you make life unneccessarily hard for yourself though. it's not a sign of weakness to say that you're sorry and that you need someone. it's a sign of strength.
- i've never hated somebody so instantly as i do you. you're hardly even classifiable as talented and yet you seem to think you're the dog's bollocks. loud does not equate to good btw. i find your egotistical nature physically sickening. i hope one day you get your comeuppance. people are becoming less and less tolerant of you. you're walking a fine line. you probably think the 'u r so talented' one is about you.
- i always thought you were awesome, still do. i know you think i think everybody hates me, but sometimes with you it's genuinely hard to tell. you're such a laugh though. i miss those TFI nights where you
didn't run away in a huff.
- what ever happened to you? i totally dealt with that situation in the wrong way, i know, and i'm sorry. i was so confused with life and everything and i left you behind. i hope you're okay and that your life is a little less drama-filled away from the internet. you deserve some happiness.
- you were never half as mean as anybody else, so i wouldn't worry. i never realised there was so much to you until i met you. you're a lovely girl and a proper laugh. oh and you need to be coming to glasgow uni innit ^_^
- :) you changed my life. i've never been so happy as i am with you. i love you so much <3 it would kill me if you had to go away from here to get a placement, but i wouldn't want to hinder you following your dreams. me and our big detached house in hyndland with raised outdoor decking will be here waiting for you always.xxxx ps dream you is a right bastard, but i'll try not to take it out on you.
- i always thought you were pretty neat. i'm only on your skype list so we have somebody else to play on iminlikewithyou though.
- i call you to test my sound. you are nothing to me.

Hi, i know you don’t know me (though you were at the brum gathering, weren’t you? i was too), but i just wanted to give you my perspective on the situation, from somebody who’s been both out of the group and in the group. sometimes it’s hard to be objective on a situation like this so i though i’d give you my point of view.
Everyone sees this big group of friends and decides that they are the community, just because those who could be considered ‘more famous’ are in the group. In actual fact, they’re just a group of friends who met through youtube and would be friends if they knew each other in real life, just like you have a group of friends and plenty of other people do. If you met up with your friends and everyone called you an elitist for not inviting all of UK youtube, that would obviously not be fair and annoy you.
Dave wanted to have his friends round for new year, so he invited them, and they went. It just so happens that he met these friends on youtube. I think he’s quite within his rights to do this, and yet him and the group and all those who attended seem to be getting a lot of grief just for spending time with their friends. It’s almost like school, with people getting upset over not being in the biggest clique.
I don’t make videos, i don’t have lots of subscribers, and so people assume i’m some groupie and fawn over the likes of Alex/Charlie/Todd/Dave. I don’t see them as any different from me, don’t treat them any differently, and don’t expect anything of them other than any other normal person.
I think partly a reason i’ve been accepted into the group is maybe even this view i have. It would be a bit weird if your friends worshipped the ground you walk on, and it certainly wouldnt do anything for your ego.
Anyway, i do understand where you’re coming from, but for me, i’m generalised as being a nobody in the group that’s there for the fame or to worship people, and it frustrates me when we’re branded and slagged off without a chance to explain that we are a group of friends, nothing more, nothing less, and should just be treated as such, and not have to carry the duty of the entire ‘community’ on our shoulders, because that isn’t fair.
Sorry for the essay, hope i’ve given you some insight and maybe changed your mind a little. Look forward to hearing from you,
Jemma.

Also, just one more thing, you look like you’ve had an AMAZING year. you’ve been to loads of gatherings, made lots of great friends and been to the likes of youstage, which is something i’d have loved to do. Just because i got to go to dave’s new years party doesn’t change that. I’d be more than happy to have experienced all of that, whether it was with good friends with lots of subscribers, or good friends with hardly any.
