Setting
One of the biggest aspects of lonelygirl15 was Bree's room. After all, her room is the home of the infamous Grillz Feat, the Cookie Contest and the Proving Science Wrong Series. 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 . . . easily more than six months.
Religion
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 announcment that she was chosen to participate in a mysterious 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 brainwashing 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, 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 "trait positive."
