68.44.126.147: /* Setting */ the video isn't "Grillz Feat", the "feat" just stands for "featuring"

In celebration of the one year anniversary of Bree's first [[First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails|video blog]] on June 16th, this page was created to look back at the changes that have occurred in our favorite [[lonelygirl15|series]].

And while a year has passed and many things have changed, the series has somehow retained that special undefinable personality that keeps us coming back for more. May this page rocket us into the second year!

==Characters of Old (In Order of Appearance)==
There is without a doubt that these veterans of 2006 have changed in the past year. Appearance, personality, importance... they've all developed in some way under a webcam.

===Bree===

==New Characters of 2007==
One of the benefits of another year having gone by is the fact that new characters can enter the scene at any time. Take a look at some new faces here . . . .

===Alex===

{| cellpadding="5" align=center style="width:480px" border=0

|}

|}

==Setting==

{| cellpadding="5" align=center style="width:480px" border=0
| style="background:white"|[[Image:GroupHug.gif|200px]]
| width=80px|
| style="background:white"|[[Image:0184-BreeSmilingAsTheOthersSleep-Cropped.jpg|200px]]
|}

One of the biggest aspects of [[lonelygirl15]] was Bree's room. After all, her room is the home of the infamous [[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n.|Grillz]], [[Bree The Cookie Monster|Cookie Contest]] and [[Proving Science Wrong]] Series videos. Perhaps that is why the most ''significant'' of changes this past year occured in the video [[Life's Not Fair]] - the ''last'' video to feature Bree v-blogging from inside her room. Since November 2nd, 2006, Bree and Daniel have been on the run from the Order for a total of 27 weeks, more than half a year.

==Religion==

{| cellpadding="5" align=center style="width:480px" border=0
| [[Image:Crowley shrine bree bedroom.jpg|200px]]
| [[Image:0205-Bree-Prison.jpg|200px]]
| [[Image:Recreatewhiteboard.JPG|200px]]
|}

There is no doubt that Bree's religion has been a topic of discussion since the series began. With clues such as a shrine to [[Aleister Crowley]] as well as Bree's [[A Change In My Life|announcment]] that she was chosen to participate in a mysterious [[the Ceremony (ritual)|Ceremony]], fans of the show knew that the people behind her religion were up to no good.

With a year under the show's belt, its now more clear than ever that Bree's religion is a religious cult known as the [[Hymn of One]], a [[Sing With Me|brainwashing]] [[It's A Cult|cult]] apparently practiced by small communities around the world. Worse still, is the knowledge that Bree's religion appears to be a recruiting arm for a secret organization commonly called [[the Order of Denderah]], that includes other organizations as well, such as [[OpAphid]] - its former enforcement branch.

As for what is to take place at the Ceremony and why Bree must partake in it is still a mystery, though recent videos show that one reason why the Order wants Bree is that she is considered [[Opening the Box|"trait positive."]]

==The Friends of LG15==

Last and certainly not least, there are those that witness the many (sometimes illegal) exploits of BDJ. Last summer, these viewers of lonelygirl15 had the humble honor to witness for the first time Bree journey through life. As one year has come to passed, these witnesses have become something much more. They've become friends to Bree, Daniel, and Jonas and are now even a crucial aid to them: a community offering their insight and providing that crucial-but-ever-important task: being willing to say, ''we're here for you''.

'''Mysteries of My Past... REVEALED!''' is the twenty-second video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

== Transcript ==

'''Bree:''' ''(talking into the camera and holding a pen like a microphone)'' I'm reporting live from my bedroom. So, I don't really have a lot to talk about, but I decided that I would talk about my ''travels''. I was born in America and then I moved to New Zealand when I was eight. New Zealand was pretty cool all around. I lived in this, umm, little commune which was next to a really small town. It was fun. I tried to go to public school in New Zealand but it didn't really work out so well. There was this one classroom where we had a door in the front and a door in the back and the kids would go in and out of the back door just as they pleased. So, when my parents found out about that, they took me out of school and put me in home school again. When I was ten we visited the Northern Territory of Australia. The coolest thing about the Northern Territory is the "Wet", or as Australians say it, the "Weet". Isn't that funny? ''(giggles)'' One night when I was asleep, my Dad came and woke me up and I was really tired so I didn't want to get up, but he said that that it was really interesting and I had to come. I remember clinging to my Dad's shoulders and we were tromping up this hill and all the people from the farms behind us were coming up with us and everybody was saying, "Shh! Shh!" and it was really really exciting and my Dad told me something really incredible was going to happen. Nobody's allowed to talk because you'll get in trouble. There's these big black storm clouds above you. You're waiting and everybody is completely silent suddenly it just starts pouring down with rain, with like big thick droplets of rain, really amazing. And then, when I was twelve, we moved to England. So when I first heard we were moving to Nottinghamshire, I was kind of excited, you know: Robin Hood, Merry men, outlaws? I thought it would only be a matter of time before we started having fun. The only friend I made the entire time...was a dog! They have a Robin Hood museum. If you ever take their little tram tour, watch out for Friar Tuck, he kind of JUMPS out at you. So we lived in England for two years and then we moved to America and...that's about it!
