Wow.
Hello FTMTranstastic.
Today is Tuesday and I am subbing for Spencer, so you'll get to hear all about my 2015 and
what I'm gonna be doing in 2016.
So, wow.
I haven't done...
Anything for over a year.
I mean, I've done nothing at all.
I've just sat and stared at a wall for all of 2015, and as for my plans for 2016, my
goals are to melt into the floor and evaporate into the atmosphere.
So, that's the video everyone, thank you for having me, and goodbye!
But actually, I've done quite a bit in 2015 and I'll give you the run down but I know
there's probably a lot of you who are like "who are you?", "I've never seen you before",
uh..
"I don't want to hear what you did in 2015","I hate you", "I don't like strangers", "You're
ruining Christmas", "You're the reason there's ecoli in Chipotle"- Okay, I hope none of you
are like that.
I'd be...
Very hurt.
But for those of you who don't know me, my name is Val.
I used to post on FTMTranstastic weekly for a very, very long time and I loved YouTube
and then I just fell of the face of the Earth and I haven't been around for the past year
so here's my face now, present day.
So, without further adieu- *mouth noises* That word sounded weird so that's why I did
that.
This is my life, in list format, of 2015.
In 2015 I met Tamar and Spencer in real life, face to face, with...
I almost said "with mouths".
We didn't make out- Did we?
No.
We didn't.
I became 22 so I could finally sing along to that Taylor Swift song, with purpose.
I hit my 4 years on Testosterone!3 years post-op.
I highly doubt you can even see it from here so I'll give you front row seats to the nipple
show, don't you worry.
Boom.
Became single.
I can't really bend that far.
Started my last year of undergrad.
Became President of my school's Student Government Organization representing queer people on
campus, called OUTspoken.
Got a part time- I almost fell over just then.
Got a part time job at a pollution prevention organization.
Meanwhile, my brother, at 19 years old, got a job paying 100 thousand dollars a year after
going to school for 2 years and then failing out, while I'm still paying 50 thousand dollars
a year to go to school and will probably never make that much, but it's fine!
I'm not bitter.
I'm actually really happy.
I really happy.
I'm happy.
I am.
I am happy.
He has a really sweet car.
My dad got married, and consequently, I became an uncle, and then I became a double uncle
because, like, another baby was had and my life is, like, full of babies!
I actually also did, like, really well in my fall semester classes which doesn't happen
that much because I'm, like, not really that great at school but also this year I made
some, like, really great friends and I would just also go to their apartment and do my
homework and they're probably like 95% of the reason that I did well at all so..
Have friends.
That's...
Advice.
Also, don't fail.
That's probably advice that I should give.
Don't fail your classes.
Or do.
I don't know.
Don't, but don't do, do it, don't do what?
I also developed, like, generally positive feelings towards beer which that's also new
because beer is disgusting.
Okay, well, maybe not they're not that positive.
So, basically to sum it all up, this year's been lit, kinda stressful, but like, I miss
YouTube obviously!
It's actually like, kind of funny that Spencer asked me to make a video this week, especially
on this topic because it just makes such a convenient way for me to make this announcement
that I'm about to make.
Right now.
For you.
In 2016, I, Val Pizzo- Wait, no, that's, like, boring.
I'm gonna do it a different way.
We're gonna make this special.
In 2016!
I, Val Pizzo, will be making regular videos on my personal channel!
So, like, that really is probably my biggest goal for 2016.
I've been thinking about it for a while.
I didn't just come up with it when I found out that I was gonna be making a video this
week and I wanted to have some sort of, like, "Big Announcement".
But, the opportunity arose, so here it is.
Here's me telling you words with my mouth.
But, YouTube is pretty important.
It was such a big part of my identity for so long, that without it I'm kinda just like
"Val, you're so boring!
What are you doing with your life?
Why are you on level 621 of Candy Crush!?"
But, let's be honest, I'm gonna still play Candy Crush just as much no matter what I'm
doing.
A lot of the reason I stopped posting for so long is 'cause I have this weird stress
and paranoia about making a video that was better than my last every time I made a video,
uh, so I'm gonna try really hard, like, not to do that.
So, what I'm gonna end up doing is probably just doing a lot of casual vlogging.
Bringing it back to my roots on YouTube when I was just kinda talking about my own life.
And then I also have, like, lots of bigger ideas that take lots of time and effort and
I still want to make those videos but they'll take time and effort and who knows if I will
ever get to them because sometimes I don't have time or effort.
But anyway, yea, if you have any ideas for what you want me to talk about, I have lots
of life experience, you know I'm 22 years old, basically near death, so, let me know
in the comments.
I'll read them, obviously.
So, yea Transtastic.
I'll be linking to my personal channel so go follow me, hopefully I'll see some of you
in the New Year.
Oh God, this entire video has been, like, an advertisement for myself!
I need more substance!Follow your dreams, eat more kiwis, pet a cow, live your truth
without apology and...
Stuff.
All the things.
Enjoy your 2016 and, oh, one more thing.
For everyone missing Spencer, their plans for 2016 are Set a date for a hysto, work
full time as an EMT, read a book every month.
Those are some things.
Good bye.
