Big City, Big Dreams

Introduction: Meet Anna

"Hello my beautiful loves!" I could feel my lips curl into a smile as I spoke. My Canon Rebel started back at me as I went on and on about my mundane week. No, I'm not crazy or anything like that. I'm a YouTuber. I make videos for a living and it's the most insane dream I could have ever asked for. My name is Anna Kristen Windsor, but most of my fans know me by my YouTube username: OfficallyAnna. Most of my real life friends, however, just call me Anna. I turned my focus straight into the camera."Well guys, you all asked for it so I'm going to be doing a VidCon Q&A!" I had just returned from my first VidCon experience. It was so surreal to think that I had actually attended a YouTube convention. Most of my highschool years were spent pinning over online celebrities with my best friend, Lo. "First question comes from Twitter. It's from Haley and she asks: What was your favorite memory?" I thought for a moment before qucikly replying, "I think the whole experience was my favorite part, but partying with some of my YouTube Idols was definately a nice bonus." I finsihed answering all the questions, which ranged from "How was it?" to "Did you have sex with anyone?". For some reason, my fans were always really interested in who I was dating. 

I shut the camera off and stood up to remove it from it's tripod. I plugged it into my computer and began to upload the video file. As I waited, I scrolled mindlessly through Twitter. I saw a few odd tweets that mentioned me. "Huh?" I said out loud, to no one. I clicked one of them and suddenly opened up a flood of tweets with the hastag #danna. What the hell was a 'danna'? I figured the best way to solve this was to just ask so I tweeted: Just finished a Q&A and saw something odd: what is #danna?. I clicked send and shut off my phone so I could organize the file that had just finsihed processing. I ran a hand through my hair, it was that kind of natural curl that just looked like a rat's nest instead of beautiful and wavy. Suddenly, my phone began to vibrate. I could tell by the dings they were from Twitter. I grabbed it and was shocked a what greeted me. A flood of DMs, Tweets, Mentions, and all kinds of social media insanity. 

I sigh as I flip through tens of pages of tweets with myself and this "Dan" being shipped. Apparently we took a cute photo together at VidCon. I quickly send out another tweet: Not dating anyone, fyi. Still #single. The flood of tweets won't stop, despit my protest so I just place my phone down on the table and head to the mirror. The face that stares back at me is plain, I'm not ugly or anything like that but I'm not insanely gorgeous like every other YouTuber. My green eyes are framed by black eyeliner and brown eyeshadow. My nose is small but still slightly too big for my face, along with my lips. They have the fullness of Kylie Jenner's, only not nearly a beautiful. The freckles that cover my entire face still shine thriugh my foundation. I sigh and head to my closet. I should get changed because I'm going out tonight. Technically, it's my last day here before I fly home even though the convention ended yesterday. 

I quickly braid part of my crazy hair and just let the rest hand down. Half of it is curled and half of it is straight. "Ugh." I sigh and start heating up my curling iron to fix the wayward strands. My hair used to be so long but after cutting it in highschool it never grew back, the tips of it now just graze my bustline. I throw on a black dress with a lace hem and a striped sweater seeing as it starts to get cold at night here. I add soem touch ups to my makeup before smiling at my reflection. I'm pretty pleased with the way I look, at least I now look human. After I'm done in the bathroom, I return to grab my phone off my desk. My battery is almost dead from all the tweets so I turn on my Mophie case and head out of the hotel. 

A/N: Hello! I hope you all enjoy my story so far! Sorry it's a bit of a long intro but I really wanted to get it all on paper, well on digital paper anyway. Thanks for reading all! <3
