many pots

It's pretty well known that I like to have my hands in many different pots. it could be a good thing or a bad thing. These are the pots I"m currently in:

Blog (x4)
Pageants (volunteer/compete)
Girl Scouts (volunteer)
Work (for now)
School (soon, but I am studying for the assessment tests at the moment)
Photography

That's just the few that I could think of... well... now, I'd like to add something else.

I want to be a YouTube Sensation! lol. okay, I just think my reviewing would be easier to do if I did it on video rather than typing. And if I have a lot of fun with it. I know I'll get the haters, but there's not much you can do about them. Anyway, I want to try to tap in to that gold mind a little bit so that I can still contribute to our savings while I'm spending it on school for the next 5 years. And who knows? I might be able to use it when I stay at home most of the time with our kids (in 7 years.... that's right, pushed it back).

I was thinking of using barbies to act out some of the parts in the book... but overly dramatized and hopefully really funny. I outlined how the shows will go and how many I would do. 3 times a week. monday is a "yay! the books are coming out tomorrow!" (it has a cooler name, I just don't want it to get stolen) and Wednesday will be a viewer response type of thing (very short video). Friday will switch every other week between two things. 1st friday (the 1st is relative) will be a review of a book I've read. 2nd friday will be an opportunity to send people to a poll to vote what book I'll read next. So! here's how it'll work:

1st friday: review and announce the next book to read
2nd friday: poll here for the book to read for review on the 5th friday!
3rd friday: another review and announce of the book that was chosen on 3rd friday poll
4th friday: poll here for the book to read for review on the 7th friday!
5th friday: review from the 2nd friday poll...

make sense? so it'll be a sort of rolling poll/review. I'll start with a book I want just because I figure that I won't have too many followers right away (k, well none... but my family) and I have read plenty of books to be able to make enough to last me all year at basically 2 books a month. This will also allow me to take my time to read these and go to school and study and blah blah blah. I was thinking every week before I realized I'd be insane to do that. haha.

Okay! Tell me what you think?! I'm not really trying to break off into a star or anything, though I won't hate it if it comes to that. It initially started out as a way to get comfortable for pageants so that I can practice speaking with fluidity and be confident in what I'm saying. But I think it will really work for both. Then, when we have kids I'll already have a sort of start so I can put us up on YouTube for family to watch our day-to-day awesomeness! lol. well... it'd be an escape from your life... that's why we like those kinds of YouTube shows :D

Let me know if you have any awesome suggestions!!!

the cool thing is that I looked for book reviews on YouTube and there aren't really any... just random people with a webcam, I'm going to buy a cheap-o camera for starters and then switch to a better one if it works great for us. But I just want it to be more fun and polished than that. Plus, I'll have an excuse to play with barbies rather than just being really creepy.
