My Name is Lizzie Bennet
E1

1. My Name is Lizzie Bennet

Aired 9 April 2012 • 5 min

Just introducing myself as part of a class project. We're in grad school together. Charlotte's the mastermind behind the camera, she wanted me to talk about my life, which, yeah, sounds tremendously exciting right? But we'll do our best to be at least moderately entertaining. Also, in the future, I will try to get Charlotte out from behind her pipe. So in this first video, you meet me, my friend Charlotte Lu, and my sister Lydia (accidentally). And I introduce you to a parody of my mom as well, who, hopefully, you will never meet.

E3

3. My Parents: Opposingly Supportive

Aired 16 April 2012 • 5 min

So that was an amazing first week! I am shocked that so many people find my life even a tiny bit interesting. So Episode 3!!! Inspired by Reggie on Facebook, I made this video about my parents so you can get to know them a little more. - But actually showing them? Well that would require me telling them that I'm doing this... so that's going to be a "no". Or at least a "not yet".

Bing Lee and his 500 Teenage Prostitutes
E4

4. Bing Lee and his 500 Teenage Prostitutes

Aired 19 April 2012 • 5 min

E5

5. After the Wedding: The Real Bing Lee

Aired 22 April 2012 • 5 min

So...this weekend was interesting. The wedding was lovely, barring some extremely unfortunate events that I will not get into right now. But Bing and Jane did, like, I mean, really hit it off, so Mom is unsurprisingly a 50 gallon barrel of pleased. Today though, I just wanted to grill Jane on the evening's events. Also, I have to admit that Bing is actually really nice. And Jane didn't even make me write that.

Snobby Mr. Douchey
E6

6. Snobby Mr. Douchey

Aired 25 April 2012 • 5 min

You were all quite specific that you wanted me to talk more about meeting Mr. Darcy, so today, I give you half the story. Boring, stuffy, and rude, I really don't get how Bing and him are friends. Regardless, watch Lydia and I reenact the events of the Gibson wedding for you. And then, next week, I'll give you the scoop on the rest of the evening.

E7

7. The Most Awkward Dance Ever

Aired 30 April 2012 • 5 min

So here it is, the Most awkward dance ever with Darcy. - oh and I miss Charlotte, she should be back this week.

Single and Happyish
E9

9. Single and Happyish

Aired 7 May 2012 • 5 min
