Lonelygirl15

Okay...first of all, I've just spent my ENTIRE morning exploring this lonelygirl15 phenomenon, and this is my addition to it. Wasn't sure quite where to put it, but if this is the wrong spot, the moderators can put it in the correct space, I'm sure.

Anyway...was looking at the youtube tags for all of the vlogs, noting the particularly obscure ones (cephalopod, aphid, lepton, etc.). For the vlog "I'm going to the Party!" one tag is campylobacter. Wikipedia-ed it. It's a bacterium that can cause diarreha (sometimes bloody), cramping, nausea, and fever. Learn more here:

http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/campylobacter_g.htm

Can get pretty bad, causing paralysis in rare cases a blood stream infection.

SO...could it be her shot is from antibiotics, and the iron pills to help keep her hemoglobin up from passing bloody stool? The water to keep her hydrated? The reluctance to go bowling from embarassment? The whole cause from the "special diet" her parents have her on?

What do you all think?

I had campylobacter once, it was horrid, worst 4 days of my life!

I'm not sure about your theory though, I didn't think people could get antibiotics for campylobacter (you couldn't in my country when I had it anyway, unless I'm suffering a memory blank and i did get antibitoics!) you just have to wait it out and drink lots of water as far as I can remember!

I think the tags may serve some greater purpose, maybe when they are all put together they might begin to make more sense?

just a theory of course...I originally thought maybe the "shot" was actually a blood draw, but according to the cdc, campylobacter is usually detected via stool samples (sounds pleasant)

kinda sux to hear the possibility that bree might be down with an illness.

this is very interesting indeed!

i think her dad is a scientist of some sorts... hence the lab coat, and in one of her videos of proving science wrong she's also wearing a lab coat, maybe 'proving science wrong' was just a way to rebel against her father.

sable could also mean the colour. and lepton is a physics term as in tau lepton.

that could be true too. her rebellious nature has been showing up more often in the recent episodes like running away to a party and climbing down the tree to meet paul and andrea with daniel.

How bout this! Her father has always been controlling her life so she took up the religion of Themela(Sp?), does the proving science wrong thing, the two guys are her brothers which died in some weird science related accident...um....and...the peeking rebellion attitude, ok I got lost in my own summary....y'know?

lol. prolly not. it's been quite proven that bree's father follows that religion as well.

Not that it matters or means much, but the stool sample to find campylobacter is sometimes referred to as an Occult Stool Sample.

Just a play on words.

A lepton is a kind of elementary particle (from physics). In particular, they are light particles (compared to others). Electrons are leptons.

The shot in Bree's arm is not from a blood draw. Blood is drawn from prominent veins, usually in the lower arm or hand. Not the upper arm. Similarly, it is not heroin or such. Because you want a massive, immediate dose dumped into the system, they are injected into prominent veins. Again, not the upper arm. The only shots you get in the upper arm are intra-muscular injections, such as vaccinations, or drugs that you want to enter into your system slowly like morphine for longer-term pain relief.
