* There are very faint symbols/text that flash momentarily, several times during the video, in different corners of the screen.  They appear to be braille, although the resolution is poor, and the contrast in the video needs to be increased in order to see them properly.  One such flash is in the lower right hand corner at :33, another in the lower left hand corner at :58, a third in the upper right hand corner at 1:27, and a fourth in the upper left at 1:15.

* The last time Daniel was seen he was wearing a tan polo shirt but since then he seems to have had an opportunity to change clothing.  This is the t-shirt he was wearing in [[Fleeing The Watcher]]. Since they were [[Ransacked!|ransacked]] at the next motel they went to, perhaps Op was kind enough to get some clothes for him so he would be comfortable when kidnapped?

* This is the first video in which [[Yousef Abu-Taleb]] is credited as a co-writer. The dialogue was largely improvised between him and the video's director, [[Glenn Rubenstein]].
  
−
* Viewers noticed the distinctive symbols on his shirt when he first wore it in [[Fleeing The Watcher]]. It appears to be two dice, each showing "one". This is the worst dice roll you can get in any game, and it's sometimes called the "snake eyes".  Back then, and now, fans perceive this as a sign that Daniel's luck has run out.

Miss Me? is the one-hundred twenty-seventh video in the lonelygirl15 video series. It is also the thirty-first video in the OpAphid video series. An apparently brainwashed Daniel begs Bree to do the ceremony.

Transcript

(Black screen with glowing white OpAphid eye in center. Eye disintegrates, leaving just the black screen. Screen fades to white and Daniel appears.)

Daniel: What up Bree? It's me, Danny B. You know what I'm sayin'? Yo, I heard you've been looking for me. Check it out. I have new friends. We're having a great time here. I remember I had all these concerns about the religion you were into. You know they're treatin' me great, they're good people. (Op's voice overlaid with Daniel's) We have Daniel. (Back to just Daniel's voice) Yo girl, when we gonna hit up that ceremony? That's all we gotta do. Ain't no big thang. C'mon, just do the ceremony. That's all you need to do. Think about the good times, last summer. (Daniel's voice switches to sound like what might be the Cowboy's voice) You were gonna do the ceremony back then. It's all good. Now, well you're not doin' the ceremony, everything's kinda bad. See the connection? You know, I know I've only gone to community college. Last job I had was at a gas station, but that's math that even I can do. (Back to Daniel's voice) It's amazing. I think you should do the ceremony. Bring the puppets along too, baby, no problem. P. Monkey and Owen, I got mad love for them. You know what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to join the Order. I hope they let me in. I really like what they're about. It's cool. Them being evil, was wrong. They treat me better than you do. Yo, I'm having the best time here. We had pizza, I had ice cream. We even did spin art. How cool is that? That thing with your dad, it's just a big misunderstanding. He actually wanted that to happen. Don't you want all of this to be worth something? (Daniel's voice again overlaid with Op's) Come back to us... (Back to Daniel's normal voice) Yeah I remember that girl Cassie. She was in my class. She'd want you to do the ceremony too. Listen to your friend Daniel. Do the ceremony.

(Reversed audio of a female voice, most likely Op herself, saying "Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune, but great minds rise above them.")

Quote
