Hey guys.
So...something happened this morning that I've felt-
just...
I've needed to share with, um...
with everyone...
because it's...
to me it-it's pretty damn exciting
(mumble) it was really unexpected...
and, um...
so I just thought I would
kind of...uh...
take this opportunity to...
fan out to everyone and, um...
that's kind of were we're going to go!
(laugh)
So, last night I made a Tumblr post
about, um...
concerning
All Hallows Read, which is an event, um...
this is the third that it's, um, that it's going on
um...it's an event created by Neil Gaiman.
In a nutshell, All Hallows Read is basically
on Halloween, you give somebody
whether it's a friend, a relative...
...classmate...
...special someone, whatever,
um...
you give them a scary/horror book
for Halloween to read.
Um, it can be one that you enjoy yourself,
it could be one that you've heard good things about,
or it could be something along the lines of, um, 
the genre that they enjoy.
Because obviously you're not going to give a
terri- a horribly scary movie to someone who's afraid of horror.
So, um, the same thing goes for All Hallows Read, it's like...
um...
for example...
'The Graveyard Book', which it's a good...
Halloween-ish story
but it's not exactly scary...and of course, it's by Neil Gaiman, but...
I'm not promoting his stuff on purpose, really!
um...
This is the second year I'm participating in All Hallows Read.
Last year though I did not have Twitter and I did not have Tumblr...
so this year I figured I would use these, um, in a sense, to my advantage
and for everyone else who has not- has never heard of 
All Hallows Read and wants to participate
you know, I thought this was a great way to promote to other people
uh...
to join in and try to make this a tradition,
because it's quite fun, and um...
it's got lots of good points.
Anyways, I'm getting o-off topic!
Anyways, um...
So I made a post about this because Neil Gaiman himself maked (oops)
he made a one minute video
just introducing the idea...
Basically, what happened was I made this Tumblr post last night
and then this morning I woke up and looked at my phone, and I had...
over 120 notifications from Tumblr
saying that people had either liked or reblogged that post...
which for me was...was kind of mind blowing in itself because...
Anything that I post, that's originally mine, does not get a lot of attention.
So 120! That was pretty impressive! I was pretty happy with that!
Especially since it was for All Hallows Read.
I thought that was great!
And then I noticed that...
the post itself actually had over 1000 notes.
Over. A Thousand. Notes!
So if, if me being excited over 120 notes for one post was
you know, a pretty big thing for me.
J-just imagine me, first thing in the morning
and something I have posted has gotten over 1000 notes.
That is a shitload of people!
So ya, as you can imagine I was pretty hyped out.
But it does not end there
no no no no no
um, I went back through the history to
to see where this all started, because this was pretty freakin awesome.
And um...I found out that the first person...
to...like and reblog this...
post...was Neil Gaiman himself.
Or at least his Tumblr account.
Neil Gaiman himself
thought that my Tumblr post was...
...good enough, was...
I don't want to say "worthy enough" because tha-tha-that sounds like I'm...
overemphasizing this, but that's what it kind of feels like to me
was that it was worthy enough
to...to use...
to promote All Hallows Eve.
All Hallows Read, sorry.
Which is his event...
He could have very well created his own, um...
post about All Hallows Read and um...
gotten it all out, everything that he wants...
especially with the video that he added, he could have done anything he wanted...
But, no, Neil Gaiman...
liked my post enough and he's...he's using it...
to...promote the event to all his Tumblr followers.
These people have responded to Neil Gaiman who reposted something...
that I created.
And...
I-I know this might seem really, really small and it's not uncommon for celeb-
famous people; authors, celebrities, YouTubers
to retweet, to like, um...
to reblog things on Tumblr. I-I know, it-
it's not uncommon that much.
...but this happened to me.
A lot of people will understand how just...
holy shit!
This is a-a huge thing!
I mean I-I'm not going to wrap my life around this obviously
but this is...
...just so...
this is not- this is not something that I ever thought would ever happen.
The point is, this is just...holy shit.
My heart... (fangirls)
and it's, it's um...
it's 2 in the afternoon now, I have been thinking about this all day
and...
(thump)
I just, I decided I had to share this with you guys, this is...
...and try to share this feeling, this absolute...
...wow. My heart is actually racing like really, really quickly...
it's, uh...
...holy shit! (laughs)
I wanted to share that with-with you guys because like
this-this enthusiasm that I have is like "oh my god", this is...
...amazing, this....
...I'll be thinking of this for a while.
But it's also, um...
...you know, um...
(claps)
Neil Gaiman, if you're watching this, which...
ypu might, you might not...
(whichever)
if this message ever gets across
I just wanted to say, um...
Thank you. A really big thank you...
I'm so glad that you liked my post enough
that you decided you were going to, um...
...reblog it use it to promote All Hallows Read.
That's...that's um...
...a big honour, um, f-for me on my part, and...
I just want you to know that, uh...
I greatly appreciate it, it's...
Wow.
This has absolutely made my day.
And I know this just seems like something really, really small, but to me this...
...this is not small, this means...
...a lot to me...um...
so...
haaaaa......hooooooly shiiit
(silently fangirls)
So..so that's that, I just wanted to, uh...
to tell you guys about that, and...
also on the side, um, kind of inform everybody you, uh,
you can follow me on Tumblr.
I put...I'll probably post the link somewhere up here...
I welcome all the friends and you know, all the...
...all the people and dicussion, it especially helps for creating the channel
and Fangirlology.
I also wanted to make a mention about All Hallows Read
for everyone else who has never heard of this event,
That's what that is.
If you want to know more about I'll put a link about it on the screen
there's a link in the description
and um, you can learn all about All Hallows Read
and I hope people do participate in this
because it's a really fun event, and uh...
it really promotes the uh...
it promotes authors for one thing, and books.
You can share your favourite books with friends, family,
other people that have uh, that have never read these before.
And it's uh...it's got kind of a community feeling to it
it lets you get to know people and to share
that spine tingling chill that a really good scary/horror book brings.
So...
...ya, missions accomplished.
And that's the big news for me today...
(laugh)
