YouTube "Celebrities"

I find it really interesting that we've created these "celebrities" from YouTube.
It's in our blood as NerdFighters not to idolize people like Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton, obviously, but I think it's really cool that, instead, we idolize people who aren't really big in the general public, save for the NerdFighter and Harry Potter community, and we treat them like they are big celebrities.
Like, when I recieved a comment reply on YouTube from John Green, I almost fell out of my seat because I was so excited. I mean, John Green, JOHN GREEN, replied to my, MY, comment. I am not worthy. I am not worthy!
And then I added a comment on the FiveAwesomeGirls page asking about Wizard Rock concerts (since most of them are in Wizard Rock bands) and if they hang out with non-celebrities like me. Then, a couple days later, Kristina Horner (of THE PARSELMOUTHS!) left a comment on MY PAGE saying:
"Hahahhaa. We're not, like, 'celebrities'.
Everyone goes to these conventions/gatherings to meet people and hang out, we hang with everyone.
Kristina/Monday"
But what they don't see is that, to us, they ARE celebrities and it means a lot to us that they take the time to reply... DFTBA!

  1. Seriously. One of my internet friends got John Green to say hi to me and it was freaking fantastic! I mean it was only like a 2 second video, but still it was awesome.

  2. I AM LIKE THIS AS WELL. But since I am the only person in my environment who spends her time watching songs and vlogs about Harry Potter, no-one knows. :/

    I got some comments from Lauren en Hayley.
    I would faint if Alex Carpenter ever reacted on my comment. I am a little bit in love with him (also a little bit with his girlfriend xD).

    Funfact: my comment on ''Open at the Close'' by the Black Sisters got 108 thumbs up. I found out about that a year after I posted that comment. PROOF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnQtFTvW7eA

    And uhm. I love Britney Spears and Lady Gaga A LOT.
