Season 1 Episodes

1. My Name is Lizzie Bennet
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.
2. My Sisters: Problematic to Practically Perfect
Introducing my sisters...I have two. Lydia, who...is Lydia. And Jane, who works her butt off for her family and never thinks of herself. Also, you may have noticed she's gorgeous.
3. My Parents: Opposingly Supportive
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".
4. Bing Lee and his 500 Teenage Prostitutes
The thought of Bing Lee dominates my mother's life. It's all she talks about. So through everything my crazily lovable mother, the 2.5 WPF club, and my out of control baby sister, you lovely people get to learn all about Bing Lee.
5. After the Wedding: The Real Bing Lee
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.
6. Snobby Mr. Douchey
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.
7. The Most Awkward Dance Ever
After this I'm done talking about the Gibson Wedding. I really didn't want to talk about this, but it's been bugging me. Like really bugging me. Like can't study and all my projects suck bugging me. So here it is, the Most awkward dance ever with Darcy. - oh and I miss Charlotte, she should be back this week.
8. Charlotte's Back!
Yay Charlotte is back. I hope she never leaves again. Watch as she and I catch up. Also she apparently told something to my mother that didn't exactly thrill me, but hey it's Charlotte and I love her. Sorry this video is a little shorter but we do have the special Q&A video this Saturday! Watch out for that!
9. Single and Happyish
As my mother has been pushing for the day that her three single daughters are "properly" wed, I'd like to point out in this video that it's perfectly okay (and usually better) that you wait and find the right person.
10. Cats and Chinchillas
So I got some pictures of some cats playing with Chinchillas. I was going to spend today talking about adorableness and not Bing, but then Jane showed up and, well...
11. The Charming Mr. Lee
Despite the double barreled presences of both Lydia and My Mother, dinner at Bing Lee's wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Probably because that Bing is 1. actually pretty cool and 2. very much into my sister.
12. Jane Chimes In
In this video my dearest sister Jane gives her opinions on some of the people I've "talked" about on in video diaries. Our parents, Bing Lee, and even William Darcy. Watch and enjoy, I know I did.
13. Bing! It's time for dinner
Mr. Bing Lee and Caroline are coming over for dinner and I try "live video blogging" the evening. Things start out great at first but it goes a little nutty when Mom starts freaking out and Lydia tries to take over everything.
14. I Really Suck at Video Games
I made this video the morning after the last video. I have a some fun at Lydia's expense and well, she has some fun with me. We're sisters, what do you expect?
15. Lizzie Bennet is in Denial
Charlotte Lu here, while Lizzie spent the weekend slaving away in the campus library, I recruited Jane to give a slightly different perspective to the events last week.
16. Happiness in the Pursuit of Life
So I appreciate Charlotte filling in but wow, talk about creative leaps! - Oh Charlotte, always dramatizing. Anyway, I'm back and so is Charlotte. In this video we have a discussion of life and stuff. Enjoy.
17. Swimming with Scissors
So it's the last few weeks of the semester and here comes swim week, or as I like to call it "Lydia goes crazy". And if you think that was fun, just wait til you see the aftermath video.
18. 25 Douchebags and a Gentleman
So after going with Lydia to Carter's the night before and making sure she didn't get into "too much trouble", I discovered a pleasant surprise. In this video, watch Jane and I talk about douchebags and gentlemen.
19. The Green Bean Gelatin Plan
So it turns out my mom had a plan for all those green beans in cranberry sauce. Not just a plan to turn something that sounds disgusting into something truly disgusting, but a plan to use it to push Bing and Jane together. I how you really enjoy watching this video because I really didn't enjoy a certain part of it.
20. Enjoy the Adorbs
So Charlotte and I are slammed with finals and well there's Lydia and she had some things to say...

So we went to Vidcon! Here's the first video we shot. It was supposed to be really quick but I ran into my old 'acquaintance' Ricky Collins.

27. Welcome to Netherfield
So this is new, first video at Netherfield, new room, new house, and new people. Watch as Jane and I try, and immediately fail, at keeping the video diaries underwraps.
28. Meeting Bing Lee
So I asked Jane to record a message to Charlotte as part of documenting our stay here at Netherfield and guess who popped up in. Bing Lee himself! Those two really are adorable.
