Lizzie: So a few days ago I told you about my mom, and because it's only fair, I'm going to give you the

scoop on the rest of my family. Sounds craaaazy interesting, I know. But this way, in a

"Ugh, Lydia's being a stupid whore-y slut again!"  and all you lovely

viewers are like "Um, who's Lydia?" I can be all, "Hey, just go watch the second video

I posted." Bam! Confusion over. Well, not yet.

Now I've probably just confused you more,  but we will get there.

My name is Lizzie Bennet and these are my sisters.

"My Sisters: Problematic to Practically Perfect" Written by Rachel Kiley

So I'm Lizzie, or Elizabeth if you're my mother and I did something to piss you off. I like rain, classic novels, and

any movie starring Colin Firth. I'm in grad school studying  Mass Communications, so I read a lot, I write a lot, and especially

at this moment, talk a lot. So that's me. But wait! I'm not the only Bennet. I'm, in fact,

one of three sisters, and I'm smack dab in the middle.  That's right, I'm the dreaded middle child!

Doomed to a life of drug addiction, irresolute drinking,

and out of wedlock pregnancy! But that thorny path is perhaps better suited

to my youngest sister who you've already met. Lydia: Jackpot, right? Whaaaat! Lizzie: No.

Lizzie: Lydia. We're all very proud she's now too old to be on any reality shows about having babies in high school.

Seriously. She's like a puppy. A cute, adorable, humps the neighbor's leg,

never know where she sleeps puppy. Yeah, she chews your slippers and marks her territory all over town,

And then there's the eldest Bennet sister, Jane. "Practically perfect in every way."

Lizzie: Including practically perfect hearing.  No, we're just shooting a video.

Jane: Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. Lizzie: No wait, come here. I was introducing you anyway, so just sit.

Jane: Do I have to know lines? Lizzie: No! No.

This is all completely improvised. Jane: Oh gosh.

You look tired. Good day at work? Jane: Yeah, yeah.

They had me running around and ordering  fabrics all day, and sorting them,

and making phone calls, then I think I made ten pots of  coffee and I drank probably a lot of cups of those.

Lizzie: They work you so hard, I wish they paid you more.

Jane: Yeah. But that's the price of the industry, so. Okay. Alright, bye.

Oh my gosh! I almost forgot, I fixed this for you  during break, so be careful next time with those buttons

but, you know, I'll fix this, so. Alright, bye.

Lizzie: Seriously, she's the sweetest person you'll ever meet. It frustrates our mom to no end

that Jane hasn't snatched up a husband yet. She's doing so much more with her life than prancing around

as some trophy wife. We're super close.  She's pretty much my best friend.

Lizzie: Which brings me to my realest, most amazing, super fantastic best friend, Charlotte!

Did I mention you're totally my best friend?

Charlotte: Nice try. Lizzie: Charlotte and I have been  best friends basically since we were fetuses. Fetii?

Charlotte: Fetuses. Our mothers were bridge partners when they were pregnant with us.

Lizzie: And they went into labor within like ten minutes of each other at the

same book club meeting. And what were they reading?

Charlotte: Sense & Sensibility. Lizzie: So it's pretty much destiny.

We've been inseparable ever since. Charlotte is as constant in my life as my sisters.

Lizzie: Especially now, because she's shooting and editing these video diaries, fulfilling

her need to have total control over our friendship.

Charlotte: Says the girl who cried through my entire birthday party until I gave her one of my presents to open.

Lizzie: So that is all for today! Don't forget to tune in next time, as I'm sure there will be more

mama drama in the mystery of Which Bennet Sister  Will Mom Throw At The New Neighbor Next?

something that sticks with your audience but isn't so incredibly lame.
