Lonelygirl15

Okay. I know that lonelygirl15 is fake. But I also know that I really can't stop watching it.

For those of you who don't know, lonelygirl15 started out as a video blog on You Tube. An odd storyline developed about this teenager, the crush she has on her friend, her adventures in being homeschooled, and her preparations for a religious ceremony she's taking part in. After awhile, it was discovered that the girl and the story weren't real. It was all scripted and fake.

However, I'm still interested in it because of the girl's religion. She's been preparing for this ceremony for awhile now, and she had to lose weight, take medicines and shots, do exercises, and learn some old language. It's clear that she doesn't know what the ceremony entails, but she's doing it anyway because she's pretty hardcore about her religion.

But the big question is...what is her religion? She's already mentioned that it's not Christianity or Judaism. In her last video she showed some of the characters from the language she's learning, and mentioned celebrating the Equinox and participating in bibliomancy. When I heard about the Equinox celebration I thought about Wicca, but I've never heard of a Wiccan ceremony that required weight loss. Then again, I know little about Wicca.

I hope they talk about this ceremony soon. I know it's just a fake video series on the internet, but it's really bugging the hell out of me.
