The Shiznit said… Wow. I was so surprised to see your smiling face pop up in the activity stream. Great comment you made in Charles F's discussion thread, too. I couldn't have said that better myself, and I can be pretty articulate when I want to be. :-)
Once in a while I have been asked about who my favorite person was in the Belgian "crew" {usually based on the YouTube videos, ofc} and I've always replied that you were my favorite - which always shocks people; and some will even ask, "Who is she!?" lmao Others will sometimes boo & hiss at me, and disagree with me, to which I pretend to be upset & defensive and tell them, "Hey! Don't be talkin' bad about my Twinklybird! She's the best of the whole bunch! and the cutest, too!" :-D
Anyway - just thought you might appreciate a word of appreciation from a true fan. I really do think you're the cutest and the funniest of the Leysen's. :-) Hope to see you around more often!

I had the worst time ever. I drove all the way from godforsaken Bonheiden to Mechelen to meet up with her and all she did was talk about herself. Now, I don't really mind people talking about themselves, I don't like to talk about myself too much, so I gladly listen to other people's problems and try to help… Continue

This is just a short announcement for the YouTube clips I'll be making from now on.

I'd love to get some feedback on it, constructive or other, everything's welcome :) Although I do prefer the first of the two...
Anyway, please check it out and let me know what you think.
