My YouTube Life [ON HOLD]

2: Collab Dinner

After my little outburst on Twitter, millions of my followers kept me up all night wondering who the lucky guy was. After hours of "bing", "bing", "bing" I finally sent a Tweet telling everyone that my sister, Kate, was the one getting married. Not me.When I finally got into bed at 3 am, I started thinking. Instead of hearing hours of "bing", I could have just turned my ringer off. God I'm such an idiot. I got up and went to the outlet where my iPhone was plugged in. I entered my password and went to settings, I turned down my ringer, and I got back into bed. A few minutes later I was sound asleep, dreaming.

--------------------

I woke up around 7 am and went straight to my computer. I checked my email, and Nicole sent me a reminder about our collab-dinner tonight. Collab-dinner is when all my YouTuber friends come over on Friday night, and we have "family dinner", but since everyone is busy, we have to have it every 2 weeks.

I clicked out of the email and got up to go get ready to pick up breakfast. I went back into my room, and opened my closet. I chose some dark blue jean shorts, a fitted super man t-shirt, and my red high top Converse. I slipped the clothes on, and I tied my shoes. I grabbed my wallet, phone, and keys, and I walked out of the door to my apartment. I walked down the stairs, since I'm on the 5th floor. I jumped off the last step, and started walking to my Mini.

My Mini is red and black and has the most gorgeous black leather on the inside. I might not be a car enthusiast, but I get really excited when I talk about my Mini. I bought it on the day I reached 1 million followers on YouTube. That was also the day when YouTube offered me a contract with them.

I open the door and put my wallet and phone in the passenger seat. I drive out of the parking lot and onto the highway. A couple of minutes layer, I'm in the drive-thru at McDonalds.

"Hi. Welcome to McDonalds. May I take your order?" the enthusiastic girly worker says.

"Yeah," I say, "I would like a black coffee and a sausage biscuit."

"Okay! That'll be $3.50. Pull up to the next window," she says.

I pull up to the next window, and pay the money. When the 2 people in front of me were given their food, I pulled up to last window. The worker wasn't there yet, so he/she was probably grabbing the food. I grabbed my phone from the passenger seat, and checked my Twitter. Apparently, the hashtag #taraatvidcon was trending on Twitter. A minute or so later, the worker came back. I set my phone down and looked at the McDonalds employee.

"Holy crap! It's Tara!" the male worker says.

I nod my head with a slight touch of "duh".

"Can I have a picture taken with you?" he asks.

"Sure!" I say.

He runs away from the window, and out the employee only door. He walks up to the driver side (where I'm sitting) with a camera, and bends down a little bit.

"Say YouTube," he says.

"YouTube!" we both say simultaneously.

He snaps the picture, and the other worker inside hands me my food and drink.

"Thank you so much! I'll see you at VidCon!" he says.

"Aww. Thank you so much! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you," I pause looking at his name tag, "... Jimmy."

"Have a nice day," Jimmy says.

"You too," I say driving off.

I arrive back at my house around 8:30 am. With meeting Jimmy and all, I got home later than I thought I would. When I got inside my apartment, I ate my biscuit and drank my coffee. I got back onto my computer and saw I had a new email. It was from Nicole. Apparently her, Markiplier, Pewds, and Nanners are going to play Garry's MOD Murder, and she wanted me to join. Of course I emailed her back saying yes, so a couple minutes later, I was logging on to play.

----------------------

We played for about a hour, and after we finished, I started editing. Since I was "on a roll", I finished editing the 20 minute video in less than a hour. I looked at the clock on my iMac, and I had about 3 hours till the party starts. I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I grabbed a towel from the rack, and turned on the water. I went to the mirror and took off the only pieces of jewelry that I wear 24/7, my father's wedding band and a small silver chain with a cursive T pendent that my mother gave me on my birthday before Dad died. I set them on the sink counter, and strip from my clothes.

The shower was nice and warm. It got even better when I used my strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner. When I finished, I wrapped myself in my towel, and walked to my bedroom. I changed into one of one of my kind-of-fancy dresses. It's dark purple with spaghetti staps, and it ends at the middle of my thigh. I grabbed my black wedges and put them on. I walk to the bathroom and I straighten my brown hip length hair. When I finish, I put on a small amount of makeup. Some foundation, a little eyeshadow, mascara, and I winged my eyeliner. I walked out of the bathroom, and into the kitchen so I could cook dinner.

45 minutes later, a loaf of bread, 3 boxes of dry spaghetti, and 2 cans of sauce later, dinner was done, and the guests were going to arrive in 10 minutes. I ran to the bathroom to make sure my hair and makeup still looked good. They did. I was still in the bathroom when the guests arrived.
