A girl recorded a video for the matching site eHarmony because she wanted to find a soulmate. Do you think she can really find someone in the world who is just the right person for her? Well, never lose hope, the world's really big. WTH

You can watch a music video parody about this here: Can't hug every cat.

Hello, my name is Debby. Uhm... this is my first attempt, oops, uhm... at a eHarmony video. Uhm... this is my first time at online dating so I'm nervous but I'm excited at the same time, uhm, so I'm just gonna start talking about what I like and I hope I get some replies.

Uhm... so I am a recent uhm... MBA grad from Villanova. Uhm... I love cats, uhm... I just... Sorry, I'm getting emotional. I love cats, uhm... I love every kind of cat... sorry, I just... I really love cats and I just wanna hug all of them but I can't cause that's crazy, I can't hug every cat, but I just want to, I want to, I want to. Uhm... I'm sorry, I just, +++. Anytime I hear "cat", I just... I love cats and... ooh, problem's I thought I wouldn't cry. Uhm... so anyway, I am a cat lover, uhm... and I love to run... I'm sorry, I'm thinking about cats again. I just... I think about how many don't have a home and how I should have them and how cute they are and how their ears and their whiskers and their nose... I just love them and I want them, and I want them in a basket and I want little bow ties. I want them to be on a rainbow and just in my bed and I just want a house full of them and I just wanna us to roll around. I can't, I jus-... I can't.
