Vote Michael for Maniac

"That's huge."

Paris Hilton made a saying a fewmonths previous. It was "that's huge" or simply "huge". At the time, Ithought it was the stupidest saying in the world. It was. It still is.But no, I know she must be describing one event in particular.

August 9th.

AugustNinth is the BIGGEST (or in this case, Hugest) EVENT TO EVER OCCUR INVOTE MICHAEL FOR MANIAC HISTORY! On August 9th, it will be exactly 365days since Michael the Maniac and his trusty sidekick Caitlyn theCandidate fell onto the Internet. Let me tell you what has happened.

We(Caitlyn, Emily, Ashley, and I) had been planning VMFM for maybe a yearbefore this sight was released on August Ninth, 2008. The first VMFM toever be made was the one and only: Tippity Tappity. Sadly, this videonever aired, but I assure you we are planning a remake. Anyways, it wasnot long after Christmas in 2007. I had gotten a digital camera, andshowed Caitlyn and Ashley. We instantly started taping.

Wedecided to make a website, and brainstormed multiple titles. Soon, Icame up with the title Vote Michael for Maniac (which suprises me tothis day, because I stink at making titles.) We all thought it was alittle to long, so Caitlyn shortened it to VMFM. We liked the ring tothat.

One hour later, Michael the Maniac emerged, although hewas much different than the Michael the Maniac you all know and lovetoday. This maniac was completely a maniac, who chased people aroundthe house with chairs.

On August Ninth, Caitlyn and Isearched Google for "websites to make free websites". Not long after,we found a site called Freewebs, after trying multiple free websitemakers. Freewebs was different than the rest of the websites. It letyou make a professional, and colorful  website...for free. Emily andAshley, however, made their own website, Awkward Emu. After sometechnical difficulties, Awkward Emu crashed and burned. I re made it,but pretended like I was a hacker and hacked into the site. It is stillunder construction. But, since they left VMFM for AE, Caitlyn and Iwere CEO's of the VMFM website. Ashley was still a part of VMFM, butEmily left. She is in a few web casts, though. We are working on a fewweb series's that have her in it, but it's hard to have too manypeople, because to have 6 people who are all in the mood for tapingwebisodes is very hard.

Not long after that, I got a proffesional Digital Camcorder. It was dark blue, and taped the instant classic, The Winner Takes It All (Maniacal Version).Sadly, it broke after I forgot to charge it for a few months. So, I hadno means of taping any webisodes. But all that changed when I told momI wanted a web cam for my birthday. This was about half a year afterVMFM was released on the web.

Mom thought that ifI got a web cam, so should Caitlyn, so we could do web chat and stufflike that. (I still have not set up web chat, though). So, we both hada web cam. The problem was fixed.

After spreading the word, our website got to where it is today.

 And don't forget to come here on August Ninth!
