Hello Readers! How about some vaguely unrelated news and information?

I swear that I will not be this aimless in the future and that I do have stuff planned for all of us to do on Wednesday and Thursday, in anticipation of the first Deathly Hallows review being posted on Friday, October 1. I HAVE ALL THE PLANS. I swear.

First of all, early this year, Buzznet went through a redesign; in the process, they changed how we all receive notifications for stuff like comments, notes, and messages. It’s not as obvious as it used to be, so I had no idea that you guys were leaving me notes on my profile and sending me Private Messages.

I’ve spent the day answering all of my PMs, so check your PMs if you sent me something. Additionally, I’ll make sure to check them every day now. A few of you said something like, “GOD I HOPE THIS ISN’T WEIRD OR UNCOMFORTABLE WRITING YOU,” and then it appeared I ignored you for a month and now you’re spiraling into despair because you think you annoyed me

Basically, that’s what I would think.

I wanted to post this so I could update contact methods in case you feel the need to contact me about something, especially as so many of you are finding me around the Internet.

Obviously, I have Twitter: @panasonicyouth I will Tweet about naked butts on my iPhone and I apologize in advance for that.

Some of you have found me on Facebook: //facebook.com/panasonicyouth

I’m ok with you adding me there, but I generally decline people I don’t recognize. If you add me, just include a note if you’d like to join the party and laugh at all the ridiculous and creepy photos I get tagged in. No, seriously, about 85% of all photos I am tagged in on Facebook were taken where I have no recollection there was a camera anywhere near me. So it’s basically like a stalker gallery.

I’ve been surprised how little people IM me every day and BY THE WAY I AM NOT COMPLAINING AT ALL, but feel free to IM me on any of the following chat services:

AIM: chrstofthemomentYahoo: xmeltingboyx

I will probably regret this but OH WELL I really love talking ARE YOU SURPRISED

If all of these things terrify you to no end (and trust me, I appreciate and empathize with any and all types of social anxiety), I’ve created a Gmail account for people to send me marriage propositions (which I will refuse because MARRIAGE IS FOR THE STRAIGHTS lol jk jk jk), questions, series requests, banal minutia, and photos of Rupert Grint with me Photoshopped in as if we’re totally hanging out.

That email address is a clue, by the way, to something I have hinted at in some comments in the past couple weeks. And now, a thousand people will be reading comments and developing wildly inaccurate theories of shipping between myself and Kasper and I’ll have to make a public statement that not only is he not my sockpuppet, but we are not having a tumultuous love affair in which we roleplay that we are Harry and Ron serving detention in Snape’s dungeon.

I mean…wait, what?

So feel free to say hello, call me out, or send me cute pictures of Persian cats at your convenience. I really love talking to you guys and I want to demonstrate to you that I care about your support of me. There is so much fun and exciting stuff ahead of us and I can’t wait to share it with you. Oh, and I was serious about series requests, too. And they don’t have to be literature or young adult fiction. WINK WINK.
