I would consider myself to be a pretty well traveled person for being only 21. But today I'm going to mention a few important observances thus far from my trip!
1. My hair will NEVER look good after a flight of any length so I will never look ok on a flight. (probably not on my way to being a member of the mile high club, damn you hair)
2. I am never seated next to a hot 20 something or NBA player :( which I guess makes #1 kind of okay, except of course when you run into someone that you know in a DFW terminal, AWK.
3. No matter how hard you try, your personal space will be invaded in everyday possible. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
- seated next to a fatty who slides SLIDES into your area
- the sweet, slightly creepy old man who watches Pride and Prejudice over your shoulder with you
- That awkward moment where the arm rest will never be big enough for two people to put their arm on and I don't want to be the rude person that takes it.
- Full body scans
- And my personal favorite when you sit next to a sweet old lady and either tell her your whole life story, or you make up a life story and tell it to her.
Ok, so those aren't just terrible, I think when I wrote this I was a grumpy pants because I wasn't drinking which, as we all know, is very important when you are flying all day.
Tomorrow is my first day of Vidcon 2012!
I have NOW in the time span of my flight received my alcohol beverage of choice, so life just got a lot happier. Hooray for the planes credit card machine being broken! Two free drinks :) Also, if you didn't know, I have hand written every blog entry of my latest adventures and it is quite fulfilling!
This is the part of the blog where I show you what happened on my trip!

I met Hannah Hart
www.youtube.com/myharto
She was literally the sweetest and funniest person I have ever met, one thing that I find interesting about meeting people who are "YouTube Famous" is that they are totally normal because in their eyes, they're normal people I hope that stream of conciousness made sense. Anyway, I had a really fun time in her workshop on collaborations.
Then my hair had an awkward moment when I met Benny from
www.youtube.com.finebros
He was a lot quieter than I imagined, but then again, I guess most video bloggers are pretty introverted.
Next up was meeting Rafi Fine from the same channel as his brother above, probably the nicest guy, he had a line of people that wanted to talk to him and he gave each person like five minutes and really listened and gave advice and was just super sweet!
We waited in about an hour long line (which actually wasn't that long considering the day before there was a four hour wait, I don't know who was that stupid, crazy but damn yo.)
Just so we could get our picture with a Real Life Charlie (left)

and his sidekick, Michael Aranda

Right after this picture was taken, we got yelled at because there's a sign that says no photos, sorry I'm not sorry yo.
Holy shit I met the MEEBLES! Some of you may know her as the artist of "Bounce that Dick" or from me forcing you to watch her videos about dogs and various other weird things.

I luckily got to meet the members of SMOSH three minutes after their signing time ended, those gems stayed ten extra minutes so everyone could meet them (from the right Ian Hecox, Anthony Padilla, and Mari whose last name I do not know)
You may know them from me forcing you to listen to the legends of Zelda rap.

Next I met Shanna Malcolm from Shane Dawson's channel but she will very soon have her own channel which makes me very happy face happy head anyway, I love her and this was an amazing moment!
This my friends is Shane Dawson's girlfriend, Lisa Schwartz from

I love her! She introduced me to LUSH!
It Steve Greene Comedy! He hugged me :) He was very nice, he was also the first person I met! So yay!

The last person I met was Shane Dawson, quite possibly the one person I wanted to meet the most, I have been watching youtube videos for quite some time and Shane was the first one I watched! Also the striped shirt in my hand, I won it in a raffle, its his shirt and its autographed. It was a really cool experience!

I had an amazing time, met so many awesome people, needless to say, I will be coming back next year!
The only sad/regret from the trip is that I didn't get to meet Bree Essrig or Totally Sketch but none the less, it was fun!!! :)
I hope this post finds you happy and well!
Have a wonderful day!
