Well I would think that if yours wasn't done a couple months before mine. I do agree that we measure ourselves with the people around us. There really isn't any other way to do it. We know the people around us and if they do something and succeed we can compare ourselves to how they did that and we can measure our ability to theirs.

I don't know if it were the microphone or because I had a cold... I don't think they have any characters that would do Edward or any of the other Twilight characters/actors for the movie justice! Lol, I'm going to have to do an entry on here that just has all my favourite videos on here so I can stop wasting my time on youtube!! Thanks for the comment!

When I saw it on your page I went to the site and was playing around. I tried making one for myself, but I couldn’t put a voice on it because I didn’t have a microphone. I kept playing around though and I tried to make one that looked like Edward, and then Bella, then Alice and Emmett. It definitely distracted me from blogs for a night! I agree with your response to the question, “Against what do you measure your identity and what do you compare yourself to?”. You said that you mostly compare yourself against other people, and I know that is true for myself as well. You said you mostly look at the qualities they have that you lack, and then you try to change yourself to be more like them. I thought it was interesting when you said, “It is discovering what you’re not”. It is hard because on one hand you want to be you. On the other hand you want to be the best person you can be, but how can you tell what needs to be improved on if you don’t compare yourself to other people? Like you said, comparing yourself is necessary for growth as a person. It needs to be a delicate balance though. It is important to keep a sense of personal identity while becoming a better human being. Really cool voki thing Nicole! When I saw it on your page I went to the site and was playing around.
