Q+A Vlog - woot woot!

Here we are at the end of the year already! I hope you all had a great Christmas full of joy and laughter. To celebrate, my vlog is up and ready!!!



Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who submitted questions!
When I published the original post, I was worried that maybe I'd get, like, five questions and no one would really be interested. But then questions started exploding everywhere and I think I ended up with seventy-six questions. Which is waaay more than I could answer in a reasonable amount of time. So a huge thanks because that was an amazing encouragement for me.

I've tried to answer at least one of everyone's questions. And for some of the larger batches (cough cough like the batch of 41 questions from one person. I'm impressed whoever did that) I just picked some of my favourites/randomest/interestingest.

Apologies for the lengthiness of the video. We cut it down as much as we could without skipping out more questions. Hopefully you'll be able to find a spare 17-ish minutes.

So here we are! My first ever vlog revealed for you, my readers!




Okay, so I DO NOT remember jiggling my legs and tapping my fingers almost constantly while we were videoing, but apparently I was. Welcome to me. (maybe that's why I became a writer and a musician, so I could tap my fingers and it would do something other than annoy people with the constant movement.) Hopefully I didn't mumble too much, and our Aussie accents weren't too hard to decipher. xD


I'd like to do a quick shout out to my wonderful and amazing sister Alice who joined all the videos together (the camera kept cutting and dying for the first ten minutes) and editing it all into what it is now. You're an amazing techo head.
And thanks to Clare for reading out the questions and adding your additions to the fun. And for supplying the camera. (and for howling duets of doom with me when it kept cutting out)


Thank you all again. Tell me your thoughts in the comments, because I'd love to know how this worked out from your end of things!

  1. It was fun, especially the last question, and the donuts one and the one we filmed three times because the horrible memory card kept playing up.

  3. Great answers! I think you responded to everyone of my questions.
    Loved your choice of violin songs (I demanded video proof--but not the glass of water)! You are definitely talented!
    After you recognized my name, though probably not my face, I would love to sit on your roof and eat sandwiches. Sounds like a lovely way to spend my visit to Australia!
    Also, that was breaking up a dance, not break-dancing...
    That vlog was fun to watch Jane! Your accents would make anything interesting. ;D
    Oh, and for the record, I was not the American who asked the kangaroo questions. Just wanted to put that out there in case you suspected me! :)

    1. Aw cool! That's quite funny. :)

      Thanks! I was playing it off memory because I couldn't bother to grab the music, so I'm fairly happy with how it worked. :D

      Ooooh that was you! I couldn't see who asked the questions so it was a little hard to answer. xP

      Pfft. Near enough. xD

      *bows* Yes, my accent is amazing. *wise nod*

      Hehe, yeah. The culprit isn't admitting publicly yet. *looks mysterious* But I've had their confession. xD

  4. OH MY GOODNESS. You guys were great. XD And the backflip and breakdance thing, omw I cannot stop laughing. It was suuuuch a good idea to hang a sheet up in the back though, I mean ASSUMING THAT'S A SHEET. XP Unless you naturally have a wrinkly white wall in your house.

    1. THANKS JONATHAN!!! xD Those were so much great fun to plan and video. :P

      And yeah, it's a sheet. We figured that would stop any background from being distracting. xD

  6. Hey Jane, That was Awesome!!! It was so funny to watch. I loved the last one and you had the supposedly not so poisonous snakes too.
    It was a really good first vlog.

    1. Awk, thanks heaps Izzy!! I'm glad you found my awkwardness funny! :D
      Yeah, technically the 'poisonous' snakes weren't all that poisonous but...it was fun anyway. :P

    1. ANTON! Eeek. You commented!!! *cheers* This makes me very happy. :D

      The doughnut one was genius. *bows* I should perform that violin talent on stage somewhere really. "The Amazing Jane Maree Balancing Act!!" xD

  8. Oh gracious JANE xD *dies laughing* I LOVED YOUR VLOG, seriously. It was SO much fun, and you need to do another one sometimes! The backflipping/breakdancing/and poisonous snake-flinging were HILARIOUS, I was grinning at my computer screen like a lunitic xD.

    Basically all I can say is I LOVED THIS, DO ANOTHER, and why was I so late to watch this? xD Thanks for sharing this with us!

  9. That was fun! Good on you for doing a vlog! And it was nice to hear some good Aussie accents. ;) They seem to be rare in the bloggers vlogging world.
