"Katie, get your lazy ass out of bed" Olivia shouts grabbing my feet and dragging me out of my bed, oh and along WITH ALL THE SHEETS IM WRAPPED UP IN?! Geez now I have to clean it all up, Fun! Note the sarcasm.

"I hate you" I say but it comes out more of a 'Oi hay yo' as my face is squashed into the sheets. I feel a huge weight land on top of my back.

"Ugh" I groan at the sudden addition of weight.

"Get off you fat ass"

"You looooveee me"

"You keep on telling yourself that"

"Everyday"

"IF YOU DONT GET OFF NOW I WILL NOT HESITATE TO FLUSH YOUR HEAD DOWN THE TOILET"

Suddenly the weight removes itself, hey I can breathe again. I try to find my way out of these friggen sheets, finally I get my body out of it except my foot has jumbled itself into the sheets, its not like I need it anyway.

"Okay if you don't get up I will take your food away" Olivia says and returns down stairs.

NOBODY TOUCHES MY FOOD!! I scramble out of the sheets and I'm about to bolt down to save my precious food, when I feel a tug at my foot and not long after I face plant the floor. So this is what my dancing teacher said when I am not graceful oh so she isn't crazy...

I finally get my foot untangled from the sheets and continue my 'MISSION S.T.F.B.O.E.I.A.' which stands for 'Save The Food Before Olivia Eats It All' I reach the kitchen to see a plate of choc-chip pancakes just sitting there with my name written all over it, I can hear the choir singing 'hallelujah' in my head as I plonk my ass on the chair and shovel them in my mouth. Olivia walks in while I probably look like a chipmunk with all the pancakes stuffed in my cheeks, she gives me a weird look.

"Well I see your enjoying your breakie I made, I'm off to the shops and remember today is video day" Olivia says while putting her jacket on and grabbing her keys.

"Okay, buy me something, preferably food and I will love you forever, oh and thanks for the reminder" I say attempting to make sense with all the pancakes stuffed in my mouth. Olivia nods her head signalling she had understood and heads out the front door.

I swallow the pancakes and now my cheeks feel extra stretchy, I give my cheeks a rub to make my lips look like a fish then I wash the dirty dishes in the sink and head upstairs and prepare to film.

Maybe I should explain, oh is that what you were waiting for? Yeah I'm a little delayed, well lets start off with the basics.

My name is Katie Austin, I am 21 years old, I have icy blue eyes and light brown curly hair. I'm around 5'5 (165cm) average height I guess? My best friend and roomie is Olivia AKA Liv and the videos she was talking about? Yeah I'm a YouTuber. Yes I make videos for a living, (not including my job at the local cinema) what might these videos be about?, just the things that are on my mind that I can't forget about or I'm in a crazy mood which results in crazy ass videos. So that's my introduction now its time to get ready.

I prance up the stairs and walk down the hall into my bedroom, I step over the clump of sheets and head into the bathroom. I quickly take a shower and get changed into a pair of jeans and a 'Bitch I'm Fabulous' top. I tame my curls into looking somewhat presentable and put a little bit of foundation and mascara on. I step back and glance at my reflection in the mirror. Yeah that's good enough.

I grab my laptop from my bed and head down stairs into the kitchen grab a banana and head into the lounge room and plonk my ass on the couch. I log onto twitter and scroll along my newsfeed. Nothing interests me so I go into my mentions and see that it is jam packed full of crap, as always. I guess you could say I'm a bit well known because of my videos. I follow back some people and answer the questions that stand out to me.

The door starts to rattle signalling Liv is finally back, took her long enough. I get up and help her carry the bags inside the house and pack everything away.

"So did you-"

"Yes, I got you food, nachos exact" Liv cuts me off mid sentence.

"YUMMM, FANKS Livvy" I say beginning to eat.

"Don't push my buttons Kate" Liv said annoyed with the nickname I called her, and returning the favour by calling me 'Kate'. C'mon Kate is such a posh name! And I'm far from posh, bleh.

"I promise I won't just please don't ever call me that again, like ever" I say in somewhat an annoyed tone but manage to reference T-Swift, yes I'm just that cool. Be jealous.

Around 30 minutes later I have demolished the nachos and have set up the camera in my bedroom. I set up my special lights for recording.

"Let there be light" I say whilst flicking the switch to the lights, I laugh a little. Yes I'm just that funny.

Finally everything was set up and I was ready to record, my plan for the video today is to do a Question and Answer, nothing exciting today but I guess that will have to do.

I turn on the camera and as soon as the red light turns on I greet....myself...yeah.

"Hello my favourite people" I say whilst giving the camera a small wave.

"Previously in the week I asked you guys to send me some questions as today I will be doing a question and answer, I was absolutely gobsmacked, really the amount of questions I received, holy cheeseballs you guys are just amazing. So without further ado bring on the questions." I explain to the camera and grab a sheet with the random questions I had printed out.

"First question what is my biggest fear, well hands down would be spiders, bloody creepy shits that sit on the wall and act like they pay the rent, like who the hell do you think you are?! Sorry I just, argh haaaattteee them." I go off into a tiny rant about spiders, insert shudder.

"Next question, do I have any tattoos, fancy that, I recently got one a few weeks back" I say and hold up my wrist to the camera to show my tattoo, a small infinity sign and the word 'infinity' written in cursive writing.

"Next question, have you ever been overseas, no I haven't, unfortunately i have never been out of England, I reaaallly want to go to America" I say honestly, while faking sadness.

"Next question, who are you closer to, your dad or mum" I look down at the desk and push away the invading thoughts." This is hard, I'm an orphan and I never knew my parents." I say with no evident emotion on my face.

"Next question, what's the first thing I notice about people, this is a hard one...maybe the way they act and their personality, for example if they are nice, mean, fake, bitchy etc." I say thinking about the answer for a bit.

"Okay final question, do you have any piercings, yeah I have 4" I say vaguely and flash a cheeky smile, they don't need to know where they are.

"Thanks a bunch for the tonne of questions, I appreciate all your support, stay beautiful. Katie over and out" I say wrapping the video up and blowing a kiss to the camera.

I switch off the camera and download the video onto my laptop, I check the time the video had gone for; 2:37 not bad. Seeing as the video is quite short it finishes downloading quickly. I edit the video and soon enough it is ready to be uploaded on to YouTube. I open a new tab and open YouTube, I log in typing in KatieAustin in the username box and typing my password in. I upload the video. While it's loading I grab my phone and click onto the twitter app.

I compose a tweet saying my video is uploaded and once the video is finished loading I send the tweet out.

This is my weekly routine making a video, editing it, uploading it, tweeting about it. Not very exciting but I have nothing else better to do and the support is incredible.

I check the time and it reads 5:24 where has the time gone! I turn off the computer and pack up everything and start to get ready for work, changing into my uniform and tying my hair up I walk into the kitchen grab a apple and my keys then notify Liv I'm off to work.

I jump into my car and start it up, here goes another shift at work I think while backing out the drive way.

"Lets do this poo" I say while driving off to work.
