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]].

It has been updated to give a comprehensive view of the entire expanse of the series, between June 16, 2006 and August 1, 2008, as well as its sequel series, [[LG15: The Resistance]] (which ran less than a year).
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.

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 Feat]], the [[Bree The Cookie Monster|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.

Please update the article to reflect recent events, and remove this template when finished.

In celebration of the one year anniversary of Bree's first video blog on June 16th, this page was created to look back at the changes that have occurred in our favorite series.

It has been updated to give a comprehensive view of the entire expanse of the series, between June 16, 2006 and August 1, 2008, as well as its sequel series, LG15: The Resistance (which ran less than a year).

"Anniversary" Episodes

This is a complete list of episodes that occurred on the anniversaries of the series:

  1. First Blog / Dorkiness Prevails
  2. Going Home (June 15th)
  3. Boy Tied Up

Characters (In Order of Appearance)

There is without a doubt that these characters have changed in the past year. Appearance, personality, importance... they've all developed in some way under a webcam.

Setting

0065-GroupHug.jpg 0184-BreeSmilingAsTheOthersSleep-Cropped.jpg

One of the biggest aspects of lonelygirl15 was Bree's room. After all, her room is the home of the infamous Grillz, 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

Crowley shrine bree bedroom.jpg 0205-Bree-Prison.jpg Recreatewhiteboard.JPG

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 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 "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.
