Day 265 of San Diego

My highlight of the day was writing to Markiplier.

I found his email through Reddit. For months, I've been wanting to contact him. I didn't want to use Facebook or comment on one of his videos. I wanted the email to be goodhearted without worrying a stranger may respond rudely.

I don't know if Markiplier will reply. I don't even know if I found HIS email. For all I know, I could have sent a message to a super fan who craves attention. If it were Markiplier's legit email, I'm guessing he receives an endless amount of emails. I'm not sure if he'll recognize mine.

I did tell him of my blog. Maybe he'll check it once or twice? Maybe he'll even follow?

I'll continue to hope.

I've been doing too less of that.

This is what I sent him:

Dear Markiplier,

I don't know what to write... I'm in shock! Although I'm typing to you, I feel as if you're standing in front of me, waiting for me to say something - anything. I have the "fan girl jitters," if you would like to call it. I've wanted to contact you for a while, but I never knew how until I did some research. Gee, isn't the internet useful? Ha-Ha.

In seriousness, let us take a moment and thank the internet for what it has provided. You're able to live a dream of playing video games while recording yourself to entertain fans such as myself. And I'm able to watch you play video games while laughing with you or being startled from a scare with you; you and your fans are connected. I'm sure you understand how much love is given to you by every subscribe and every email and every comment... Isn't it wonderful? It's wonderful because of what one person can do to millions of people. If a fan is having a dreadful day and hopes for a refresher, they'll think of you. If a fan is having a great day yet wants to be amused, they'll think of you.

I'm proud of you, Mark. You're such a magnificent person who cares for others whom you haven't even met. You've brightened my most depressing hours. You've inspired my most inner imagination and desires. You're always there when I need a friend.

My boyfriend and I have followed you for many years. I introduced him to you. He and I have watched your videos ever since.

(If you would like to follow me, I have a Blogger: www.amarinesgirlfriendsdiary.blogspot.com)

Please continue doing what you do best. Everyone - including my boyfriend and I - will appreciate it.

I hope sometime in the future, we'll have the privilege of meeting you. That is our dream.

Infinite love,

- Payton
