**walks over to Christine's dresser** Ooooo new glasses, can I try them on??? **looks over to a very hesitant Christine** Wait, never mind, you have a freakishly small head and I'd stretch them out. You don't even need to say. **Christine noticeably relaxes** Yeah, thanks, I'm sorry! LOL This was just last week!
Dude. My guy friend once said he wasn't sure if he wanted to watch The Martian because he though it looked like a chick flick. I was like. R. U. Kiddin. Me.
WHAT?!?!?!? HOW DARE HE! What does he think The Martian is about huh? He thought some girl was stranded on mars and some guy went to rescue her and they fall in love?! ahaha LOL
isabella vento same omg the drink on the plane like I'm thirsty but I don't want to hold this empty plastic cup for 50 million hours. It's not even a nice plastic cup, if u make me hold it for so long at least make it better quality. Internal sigh
Really nice video! If you want i did a similar video about the things that get on my nervs. I'd really appreciate if you just give it a look since it is my first video. /watch?v=h_Em2-h52yQ
My Cress and Fairest are smaller than my Scarlet +The Heir is the smallest book in the Selection series. They just made me hard to arrange them, I don't know whether to arrange them by height or by series. So I know how you all feel 😤😤😤😡😡😡😾😾😾
^^ But The Heir is bigger than the rest of The Selection . . . ? And THE CROWN IS WAY SMALLER AND HAPPILY EVER AFTER IS WAY BIGGER AND IT BUGS ME BECAUSE THE FIRST THREE WERE LIKE ALL THE SAME SIZE
New glasses? They're so pretty! Haha I've just read Winter in french and it's 984 pages!! THIS BOOK IS HUGE!!!! trust me my friend, you need to be strong as f*** to hold this book during hours...
In german the book is 842 pages long (hardbook cover), interesting that it is even longer in french! 😂 German books are known for being "longer" than the original english books. Well, french books take this to a whole new level
+Audrey-Lili Isabelle I'm also reading it in French and I'm constantly scared about BREAKING THE SPINE 😱 This is so freaking huge !!! And why is Winter white on our covers ? Like... WHY ??
Okay but the glasses one is so true. The worst thing is when I got my new glasses they fit PERFECTLY no sliding at all! But after wearing them for a few days I noticed that they started to hurt my ears and the sides of my head. So I thought oh I'll just push them out just a little bit and so I did and now they SLIDE DOWN EVERY FIVE SECONDS WHY
The thinner page thing makes me so angry, Empire of Storms has thin pages and it makes me so mad because I like seeing the series get bigger, it looks good on the shelf. Now EoS is going to look like Crown of Midnight and I'm so upset. The UK edition actually has normal pages so it actually looks like a 700 page book but does the US edition look like it has 700 pages NO :( Another thing that annoys me is the 3 editions of EoS, because each has a different exclusive and I want them all, but I'm not paying for three of the same book so I'm just going to have the B&N edition.
I feel ya. Never had so many problems than with the ToG series, there's 2 different covers and I have the paperback US editions which means I have to wait a year extra to buy the book~ can't get the hardback or UK paperback bc the cover is different gahh
+Abigail K are you having a bad day and need someone to talk to because it is obvious you want attention to comment the same thing on every single comment
"THIS ISN'T THE BIBLE" LOL!! WAIT WHAT?! Am I just noticing you have a picture of Chandler behind you?? THE BLINKER THING OMG THAT GETS TO ME TOO!!! PEOPLE NEED TO CALM DOWNNNNNN
Oh my god the jeans thing is so annoying! I took a pair back because they were such weak material with the rip, got another pair and put my foot right through it again. Constant struggle! I just accept the fact that my jeans have huge rips in them now and every time my four year old sister sees them she things I don't know about it and laughs. It's the simple things it would seem.
Hey guys, Ive been wondering. I have the Cinder series in paperback, but the fourth book, Winter is smaller than the first 3. I noticed the publishing company is different. I have books 1-3 published by Square Fish, but winter is published my Penguin. This is annoying me so much. I know Feiwel and Friends also published a paperback for winter but i dont know if it will be the same size... Is there any way I can fix this? Is they're another paperback version on Winter that i can buy? Do I have to wait until Square Fish publishes Winter. Please tell me
you need to make more of these. hundred times funnier than i thought it would be, i was bursting out in laughter left and right. im saving this to my faves, priceless!
I actually really like it when publishers opt for thinner pages and tighter binding. The spine doesn't get warped, the book has a nice weight to it and it takes up less room on a shelf :)
I relate to so much of this. So much. And with what you said about dick flicks, it's not just movies I get judged for. Books! SO WHAT IF THERE'S A HALF NAKED MAN ON THE COVER. At least it's honest about what's in it. Also, I remember when I was 12, I was at Target in line waiting for my mom. And I was reading How to Be Popular by Meg Cabot. You know, the fictional novel. But then the cashier started snickering at me and saying, "Wow, so you're that desperate, huh?" And of course me, being 12 and just reading a funny novel because WHY NOT, didn't catch on to what he meant. Not until like 30 min later after we'd already left. /So to this day, I'm still angry. And still searching for Mr. Stupid Target Guy with the Fohawk.
Always love rants 😁 the airplane drink thing though...so stressful The birthday canvas photos look great Christine! They're SO pretty (well done Natasha!)!
Yeah I can agree all the way with the cup on the airplane, even sometimes meals. i tend to have them either sit on the lip of the front seat (where the magazines and in flight manual is at) since it secures it pretty well or use a plastic bag when i buy snacks and put my snacks in the laptop bag. They do take WAYYYYY too long to make their rotation!!!
My glasses used to do that. It was pretty good when I got it at first but after like months it's all loose. I remember this one time when I was eating so I was facing downward, and MY GLASSES JUST FELL INTO THE BOWL (I was at school btw. It was awkward) My life is just a bunch of awkwardness honestly. But I got them tightened after that and it was better
omg i get the glasses thing so much!! I have like a weirdly small nose and my skin is super oily so they just constantly slip down and it's so annoying.
i live in cali and the blinker thing is so true.(i don't drive yet but i observe) as a passenger i think the "tik, tik, tik, tik, tik" of the blinker is annoying. i may change my opinion as soon as i start driving tho
You do know that when you finish the drink you can put the cup in that pouch with the magazines in it right? And use the bathroom before getting on the plane, its helped me survive 13 hour flights without bathroom breaks. somehow...
I have some things to add to the travel point: 1. when you travel alone and have the window seat, and the two people next to you gets to order something but they take such a long time that you don't get the chance to. 2. when you have the tray down and a drink in the drink place, and the person in front of you reclines their seat (I HATE RECLINERS) making your drink spill everywhere. 3. when you sit next to a child that wiggles around and accidentally punches you throughout the flight and you can't yell at the child because then YOU'RE the rude one
Really nice video! If you want i did a similar video about the things that get on my nervs. I'd really appreciate if you just give it a look since it is my first video. /watch?v=h_Em2-h52yQ
The glasses one is the worse. And when people try it on you apologise for them being so dirty but they still dirty them! It's so annoying but I find it impossible to say no.
did anyone else noticed that maybe the cup that christine was holding was empty the whole time? like she was shaking it so much and nothing spilled out
Preach it Sista!!! I feel you on all this, but especially the freakin GUM and FYI, ice on a plane is dirtier than a toilet seat...So, uh...don't eat it. You're welcome!
OMG YES ABOUT THE TURNING IN CALIFORNIA! It annoys me so much! I'm a new driver so it takes me a little longer to make a left, and i hate it when people honk! It's like you're eventually going to turn, just wait your turn!
Okay but my foot literally comes out of the ripped hole every single time. It's a nightmare. And the printers not working thing is so much worse when the printer is like a whole room away. SO MUCH WORSE.
The glassed thing. YES! I have a tiny face and glasses rarely fit (or look good on me). And then a person with a big head comes along and wants to try them on. So much frustration. Your new glasses look really nice btw. :)
Oh I feel you Christine I have the smallest head and hats and sunglasses are always to big for my head and face. And I have so much hair if I have it down and want to wear a hat it's to small! :(
"This isn't the Bible! I don't wanna almost rip every page I turn!!" omg this made me laugh!
**walks over to Christine's dresser** Ooooo new glasses, can I try them on??? **looks over to a very hesitant Christine** Wait, never mind, you have a freakishly small head and I'd stretch them out. You don't even need to say. **Christine noticeably relaxes** Yeah, thanks, I'm sorry! LOL This was just last week!
FRIENDSHIP GOALS.
You're so observant. Friendship goal ❤️
"Do you headbang a lot"
*instantly thinking of your polandbananasxx videos*

wow... just.... wow... I never thought of that...
+Abigail K you must be sad
+Abigail K jacksfilms? is that you?
Woah I never thought of the Roman numerals either o.o
Dude. My guy friend once said he wasn't sure if he wanted to watch The Martian because he though it looked like a chick flick. I was like. R. U. Kiddin. Me.
R U KIDDING ME. I'M ENRAGED ON YOUR BEHALF. XD
Like WUT? You need to SLAP HIMM!😡😜😂
+polandbananasBOOKS THANK YOU FOR SHARING MY RAGE! Don't worry, I told him what's up.
+Emi Daughter of Athena I really wanted to but I didn't because I'm a wuss but I settled for a stern talking-to.
WHAT?!?!?!? HOW DARE HE! What does he think The Martian is about huh? He thought some girl was stranded on mars and some guy went to rescue her and they fall in love?! ahaha LOL
Who else thinks Christine deserves way more subscribers?
+
Can we just start a ranting with Christine series because this was hilarious
Anybody else notice she's literally just holding an empty mug for the entire span of this video😂
yes I did.....but why is she doing that?
I was afraid she would drop it or hit it somehow 😆😂
it helps her focus she answered this question above
it helps her focus she answered this question above
She said in a comment that holding it helps her focus but she didn't put anything in it because she didn't want to risk spilling anything 😂
"I'm sorry, I thought you were a HUMAN." Dead. Died. Hilarious.
[casually holding empty cup while ranting about life]
this made me realize things that I never knew I hated I hate
isabella vento same omg the drink on the plane like I'm thirsty but I don't want to hold this empty plastic cup for 50 million hours. It's not even a nice plastic cup, if u make me hold it for so long at least make it better quality. Internal sigh
"I´m not interested in love". Then go sit in the corner by yourself. - I laughed out loud.
Christine is the best RUclipsr on the whole entire RUclips!
YAAAAAAASS😍
I totally aggre
+Siannah Weir I mean with the original comment
omg yes
Really nice video! If you want i did a similar
video about the things that get on my nervs. I'd really appreciate if you just give it a
look since it is my first video. /watch?v=h_Em2-h52yQ
I totally feel you about the smaller book thing, I saw that Empire of storm is the same, its smaller than Queen of Shadows and i find it annoying!
That buggs me a lot! I want each book to be bigger then the next 😅
Yes! Or they all be the same!
My Cress and Fairest are smaller than my Scarlet +The Heir is the smallest book in the Selection series. They just made me hard to arrange them, I don't know whether to arrange them by height or by series. So I know how you all feel
😤😤😤😡😡😡😾😾😾
Yes! It makes the arrangement an anxious process!
^^ But The Heir is bigger than the rest of The Selection . . . ? And THE CROWN IS WAY SMALLER AND HAPPILY EVER AFTER IS WAY BIGGER AND IT BUGS ME BECAUSE THE FIRST THREE WERE LIKE ALL THE SAME SIZE
CHRISTINE USE A ZIPLOC BAG FOR YOUR GUM ITS A GAME CHANGER.
Also, I love you!
yes i do this so many bags have been saved
"do you like head bang a lot"
omg hahahahhaha
Why is she randomly holding a cup😂😂😂
HELPS ME FOCUS XD i usually have stuff in it but I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK THE SPILLING
+polandbananasBOOKS that's so funny😂👌🏼
+polandbananasBOOKS WHEN I SAW THE CUP I WAS LIKE CUP MEANS FUNNY CHRISTINE HAHAHA
MUG MEANS WE ARE TRULY TALKING😂
+Abigail K she just holds cup sometimes
thinner pages, the empire of storms struggle
+Abigail K WHY ARE YOU ASKING EVERY ONE THIS
+Jaila ushry jacksfilms 😂

I was wondering that too!
Its this youtuber reference
"im sorry, I don't call your movie dick flicks" I LITERALLY LAUGHED SO LOUD AND IM IM A QUIET PLACE SHITT
i need to try something like this it seems so therapeutic to just rant for several minutes
empire of storms pages are gonna be thinner than usual just like winter
I know! I'm so sad it looks as thin as The Assassin's Blade.
no??!!! NOOO PLEASE GOD NO!
+Aelin Ashryver Galathynius the book will be over 700 pages !!! XD
WHAT
WHO GIVES A DAMN HOW LONG IT IS? BOOKS WITH THIN PAGES SUCK.
'I dont call your movies DICKFLICKS' my new fave
"DID I TELL YOU TO LEAVE MY EYE , DID I BUY INVISIBLE EYELINER?! " ahaha
New glasses? They're so pretty! Haha I've just read Winter in french and it's 984 pages!! THIS BOOK IS HUGE!!!! trust me my friend, you need to be strong as f*** to hold this book during hours...
being in a rocket is a totally different from someone leaving the house though it was probably super scary when they were going up in spaxe
In german the book is 842 pages long (hardbook cover), interesting that it is even longer in french! 😂 German books are known for being "longer" than the original english books. Well, french books take this to a whole new level
well idk why it replied to this the comment was on another video......
+BlackDiamond yeah i know! But an other sad thing about books in french is that they don't publish books in hardcover😭 our books are just... Ugly...
+Audrey-Lili Isabelle I'm also reading it in French and I'm constantly scared about BREAKING THE SPINE 😱
This is so freaking huge !!!
And why is Winter white on our covers ? Like... WHY ??
Okay but the glasses one is so true. The worst thing is when I got my new glasses they fit PERFECTLY no sliding at all! But after wearing them for a few days I noticed that they started to hurt my ears and the sides of my head. So I thought oh I'll just push them out just a little bit and so I did and now they SLIDE DOWN EVERY FIVE SECONDS WHY
"Things I Hate"
grabs a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal then cozies up and pushes play.
AND THIN PAGES!!!!
I hate when printers stop working, especially printing thesis drafts to be submitted later that day.
ikr like YOU HAD ONE JOB!
Emi Daughter of Athena wrong timing. wrong timing af.
I've been in a bad mood all day but this made me feel better for some reason 😂💕
yay i'm glad! =D
Can we all just call up Sarah J Maas and ask for the normal pages pls cuz I need that in my life. I'd buy another one Sarah just for the thick pages
LOL I'm sure it was the publisher and not Sarah who made that decision
+polandbananasBOOKS Wait when does it come out
+Karpfy19 september 6th

+polandbananasBOOKS hahahahah Ik but still
OH MY GOD THE GLASSES THING IS SO TRUUUUU

No, I hate the thin pages! I haven't gotten Empire of Storms yet and I HATED the thin pages in Winter.
SAME!
eos!? already came out
I feel ya. Never had so many problems than with the ToG series, there's 2 different covers and I have the paperback US editions which means I have to wait a year extra to buy the book~ can't get the hardback or UK paperback bc the cover is different gahh

Am I the only person who heard "Your Porpoise"? and then died laughing bc the dolphin noise?
+Abigail K why r u asking everyone this?
+Abigail K are you having a bad day and need someone to talk to because it is obvious you want attention to comment the same thing on every single comment
Love you lipstick where did you get it?
IM AN ICE- EATER EVERYTIME I HAVE A DRINK IN A PLANE I ALWAYS EAT THE ICE
"THIS ISN'T THE BIBLE" LOL!! WAIT WHAT?! Am I just noticing you have a picture of Chandler behind you?? THE BLINKER THING OMG THAT GETS TO ME TOO!!! PEOPLE NEED TO CALM DOWNNNNNN
I missed Xtine rants so much!
Yeahh the chick flick thing gets me the most. It's so condescending.
Those are great glasses by the way. You have really great taste!
The picture of chandler behind her tho. Omg!!!
I was so confused when you were talking about tables and drinks because I didn't understand you were talking about planes 😂
haven't even started and I'm so excited
"this isn't the bible" haha
She's wise. Almost everything she says should be in a pretty quote picture with a flowing river in the background.
That airplane thing is sooo relatable
Someone else finally understands my pain with glasses
That poor mug is so tired of being swung around. Fill that poor mug! That's all it's ever wanted!!! FILL THAT DEFENSELESS MUG!!!
I JUST DIDN'T WANT MY CARPETS TO DIE FROM SPILLAGE XD
Her complaint about the table on the plane is hilarious.
"I never called your movies dick flicks." 😂
Oh my god the jeans thing is so annoying! I took a pair back because they were such weak material with the rip, got another pair and put my foot right through it again. Constant struggle!

I missed christine's rants 😂
what are your glasses?? I love them and have been looking for a pair like those for a while.
I'm happy that you didn't break or drop the cup because you sometimes drop the books.
OMG the indicator (In England we call blinkers indicators) thing so much!
ALL OF THESE RESINATED DEEPLY WITH ME
I love how you've been doing more storytime type videos lately! Love you :)
ughh I hate it when my glasses slide down my nose and I'm like NO THAT IS NOT WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
your classes really suits you
Omg this makes me think of 'Stuff I hate' from Jade from Victorious! Wow throwback! 😂
I actually really like it when publishers opt for thinner pages and tighter binding. The spine doesn't get warped, the book has a nice weight to it and it takes up less room on a shelf :)
Love it "I'm sorry, I thought you were a human".
About the eyeliner I use Blink and it's great
The glasses thing girl. I GET YOU COMPLETELY!!
I relate to so much of this. So much.
And with what you said about dick flicks, it's not just movies I get judged for. Books!
SO WHAT IF THERE'S A HALF NAKED MAN ON THE COVER. At least it's honest about what's in it.

i love ur Deadpool mug!!!😍💕💕. where'd u get it? Also i understand ur blinker dilema in Cali. im from there too n i get pist too!
Always love rants 😁 the airplane drink thing though...so stressful
The birthday canvas photos look great Christine! They're SO pretty (well done Natasha!)!
Yeah I can agree all the way with the cup on the airplane, even sometimes meals. i tend to have them either sit on the lip of the front seat (where the magazines and in flight manual is at) since it secures it pretty well or use a plastic bag when i buy snacks and put my snacks in the laptop bag. They do take WAYYYYY too long to make their rotation!!!
'Scuse me? Could you please leave?' - Smol Bean
Anyway, great video like always! 💙
Smol Bean is amazing |-/
My glasses used to do that. It was pretty good when I got it at first but after like months it's all loose. I remember this one time when I was eating so I was facing downward, and MY GLASSES JUST FELL INTO THE BOWL (I was at school btw. It was awkward) My life is just a bunch of awkwardness honestly. But I got them tightened after that and it was better
omg i get the glasses thing so much!! I have like a weirdly small nose and my skin is super oily so they just constantly slip down and it's so annoying.

Christine looks so good here!! Love her glasses
I love when your Jersey accent comes out!
Absolutely a blast!
Collect more rants and do more!
OMGAH THE GLASSES THING. LITERALLY MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE.
all of these... so relateable.
You do know that when you finish the drink you can put the cup in that pouch with the magazines in it right? And use the bathroom before getting on the plane, its helped me survive 13 hour flights without bathroom breaks. somehow...
Ergh, small bladders must suck. *wishes everyone had 10 gallon bladders*
This is going to become the video I put on while I'm getting ready in the morning because I just need it in my day. Lol
When I found out EoS was gonna have those super thin pages I literally almost cried lol. I was just soooo excited for the huge book 😢
that drink thing is my life. So glad someone else knows how much of a struggle the airplane drink dilemma is.
"I DON'T CALL YOUR MOVIES DICK FLICKS" I am going to have to borrow this because it is too perfect
The plane and the printer problems are the definition of my life. Awesome video, agreed with everything!
I have some things to add to the travel point: 1. when you travel alone and have the window seat, and the two people next to you gets to order something but they take such a long time that you don't get the chance to. 2. when you have the tray down and a drink in the drink place, and the person in front of you reclines their seat (I HATE RECLINERS) making your drink spill everywhere. 3. when you sit next to a child that wiggles around and accidentally punches you throughout the flight and you can't yell at the child because then YOU'RE the rude one
This was magical. Also, ten points to Ravenclaw for "dick flicks." 💜💜💜
The hollering I just did on this video 😂😂😂. Hilarious!
THIS IS THE BEST
You should do another one of these videos
Really nice video! If you want i did a similar
video about the things that get on my nervs. I'd really appreciate if you just give it a
look since it is my first video. /watch?v=h_Em2-h52yQ
The glasses one is the worse. And when people try it on you apologise for them being so dirty but they still dirty them! It's so annoying but I find it impossible to say no.
Ah the classic empty mug holding. I want to do that again after one of my videos, but I always forget the mug.
did anyone else noticed that maybe the cup that christine was holding was empty the whole time? like she was shaking it so much and nothing spilled out
Audrey Phua SAME
Preach it Sista!!! I feel you on all this, but especially the freakin GUM and FYI, ice on a plane is dirtier than a toilet seat...So, uh...don't eat it. You're welcome!
I’m new to this channel....I LOVE HER SO MUCH. literally she just made my day.
OMG YES ABOUT THE TURNING IN CALIFORNIA! It annoys me so much! I'm a new driver so it takes me a little longer to make a left, and i hate it when people honk! It's like you're eventually going to turn, just wait your turn!
This was the first video of Christine that I saw. I am so glad I found her back in September.
"No, but I look DOWN!" You killed me...I'm dead. xD lol
Okay but my foot literally comes out of the ripped hole every single time. It's a nightmare. And the printers not working thing is so much worse when the printer is like a whole room away. SO MUCH WORSE.
Hey, does anyone know what colour lipstick she is wearing? I'm in love with it, looks like a lighter more ruby colour of mecca's Be Legendary.
maybe you should get those extra chewing gum bottles
i love the icebreaker bottles. but once it opened up and spilled all the beautiful cube shaped gum all over my purse. LE SIGH. XD
+polandbananasBOOKS maybe try tape? Tape fixes EVERYTHING (Except for my damaged soul after allegiant and the deathly hallows 😭) 😜
This was hilarious. Just about choked on my water watching
"Did I buy ´Invisible Black Eyeliner´?" I am done hahah
The glassed thing. YES! I have a tiny face and glasses rarely fit (or look good on me). And then a person with a big head comes along and wants to try them on. So much frustration.
Your new glasses look really nice btw. :)
Oh I feel you Christine I have the smallest head and hats and sunglasses are always to big for my head and face. And I have so much hair if I have it down and want to wear a hat it's to small! :(
Yes to the blinker thing! I live in FL, which has the WORST drivers in the US.
I'm beginning to think that there was no drink in that mug
