You may call him Nicholas, Nick or Gosling.
Well, I’m very glad you all enjoyed listening to Nathan’s British accent in yesterday’s video seeing as it’s probably the last time you or I will ever hear it after he reads that post. Lest you think I’m regretting putting my unabashed infatuation out there on the world wide web, I will have you know that I proudly stand behind that post mainly because you needed someone to bring a good accent to you and I? I DELIVERED TO YOUR DOORSTEP, PEOPLE.
The surprising thing about your comments on the post was that some of them centered around Nicholas when, hello, he was obviously not the point of yesterday’s post. You liked his facial expressions, you liked his deep voice, blah, blah, blah. I cannot understand how you people were able to focus on American-accented Nicholas when I provided you with straight up British goodness.
But since you seem to be enamored by Nicholas, I feel it is my duty to feed your obsession by offering the following observations:
1. Yes, his voice is very deep. It’s actually way deeper on the phone than in person (or on video). I would offer to set-up a time for each of you to have a personal phone conversation with Nicholas himself so that you could see what I’m referring to but, quite honestly, you couldn’t handle it. As it is now, I only allow our phone calls to last approximately 1.2 minutes and you don’t know how long it’s taken me to build up strength to hear his phone voice for even that long. You, my grasshoppers, would break at the very moment he said “hello.”
2. I don’t know what his Irish accent sounds like, but I’ll be getting it on video for you at my earliest convenience. This will involve me bribing him in order to get him to agree to appear on another blog video and, at the moment, he doesn’t owe me any favors. This could take awhile.
3. Someone mentioned that they thought he looks like Ryan Gosling (of The Notebook fame) but that they were sure it had already been mentioned before. I had actually never noticed that before I read the comment, but now IT IS TOTALLY OBVIOUS. I had to drop something by Nicholas’ apartment last night and, immediately upon getting out of my car, said “Did you see the Ryan Gosling comment?” He had and began to explain that it’s just because of his facial structure or something like that but I was all DON’T CARE, JUST GONNA START CALLING YOU GOSLING NOW.
4. He said I’m not allowed to call him Gosling in person but that I can refer to him as that on the blog. I’m still thinking it over, but it’s pretty safe to assume that you can begin monogramming pillows that read “Gosling” now if you so desire.
5. Speaking of Nicholas’ apartment, it was the first time I had been inside and let me just report to you that it was cleaner than any male apartment I have EVER been into. I mean, there was not a single thing out of place, y’all. I did not know that male apartments such as this existed. It was actually a pretty cool place, what with his art on the walls and French press coffee maker on the countertop.
Of course, I personally believe it could have been a bit nicer if he had, oh I don’t know, maybe a few framed photographs of Nathan.
Especially if they were in those frames that let you push a button and hear a recorded message.
Hi I’m brian,.I live in korea. Ms. brandon introduce me to your blog. Anyway, Nice to meet you.
1. French Press Coffee Maker, we could be friends.
2. Do frames like that exist because that would be the greatest frame like technology since the digital photo frame and you could make a killing inventing it.
That was me on the Gosling comment and I can not believe no one had noticed before. I’m glad to see you agree! But I think our Gosling is quite right that the facial hair has a bit to do with it. Although his hair and build are similar as well. So. Gosling it is.
Here’s a picture, you know, just for verification.

But can we call you Mrs. Gosling? Cause it sounds so romantic!!!
Ok, for the record, Nicholas is beyond gorgeous and the fact that he has a french press means we should at the very least be friends.
I’m sure I’m not the only single woman wishing Nicholas lived in her city!
Someone last week sent me a link to your post (from days gone by) about trying on a bridesmaid dress…we shall behold Him playing in the background…
She sent it to me because I had a similar bridesmaid dress catastrophe a few years back and she thought i could relate. I read through a bunch of your other posts and you crack me up! 
And I was just dying yesterday watching the video – because I am a sucker for accents and everything about your post is what I wish I had the guts to do with my accented friends! LOL . I’m so glad you really did it!
Honestly, after repeated viewings of the movie “The Notebook” with my obsessed ex. I do see the resemblance, even though I did not until you mentioned it.
BUT! I think it is cruel to call him that, no guy can live up to that. It will raise expectations….
mmmm coffee… Lol. Wall art is amazing… Is it stuff he has done, or just bought? Now, this character from “The Notebook,” I’ve never seen him, or the movie, am I missing out?
Pick me! Pick me!
Oh wait, I thought this was a Nick Gosling giveaway for a second there.
Only one word for you girl: SHAMELESS!!
As a Gosling connoisseur, I have to say that your friend really does bare a striking resemblance to Ryan.
I’m glad Amy sent me over here to check him out and your blog. I’ll definitely be back–you crack me up!
