Yeah, so after being called out by La Fuse, here I am, posting my Month at the Museum video.
Which is WAY low-tech! And I shot it completely by myself! With our little handheld camera that I balanced on a wobbly Costco stool! And then bees kept flying into my head (I, not so brilliantly, set myself up in front of our bee balm), so I had to keep starting over again! So don't mock me. (Well, much. Because I know it will be impossible to not mock me at all.)
At least try not to mock me for the crazy faces that I make. Because that's just natural. I get a lot of "my, you have an... expressive... face" from library patrons.
Anyone who has ever questioned my I Write Like I Talk claim will see that I have been telling the truth all along, and you will also notice that I use the word 'so', approximately 15,000 times.
Month at the Museum -- Pick Me! from Leila Roy on Vimeo.
You never know. Maybe it will stand out because of the ultra-low production value and über-dorkiness. And for that fact that while I threw myself under the bus regarding the egg drop, I took my sister down with me.
Okay. So. (<--- Ha!) I'm going to go and hide under a blanket now.
!!!
You are so cute, I cannot stand it.
I really hope you get picked. Because, seriously -- there's nothing like tossing eggs. And how can you accuse yourself of making worse faces than me? I wouldn't even look at the camera, and I kept waving my arms like they were seal flippers. Yikes.
I reallllly hope you get picked. Mainly because then it'll seem like ALL of us are living in the library. Except Josh.
Poor Josh. He might not like this...

Ack! Can't believe I missed that you posted this. Oh you are SO heading up my Video Sunday, you are.
I think you do stand out too. The dudes I know were all about being slick. You're about being honest and awesome. Courtney put it best though. This is a soul matter.

Thanks, Betsy -- that (and what Courtney said) made me feel a lot better.
I've only watched a couple of the other videos, and I just kept thinking, "YOW! Those are so glossy and awesome and professional and... oh, I am sadface and lame." BUT! I just keep telling myself at least I applied, which for me, is something.
And I figured out how to make and edit an ultra low-tech video all by myself. Which is also something.
