I waited in line for probably an hour or so? I don't really remember that part but it went by really quickly because I was surrounded by people who shared the same interest. And what I found the different between this line and other lines, like Connor Franta's line which was right next to mine, was that this line was seriously so chill. When the guys came out we were just like oh cool this is so exciting, and then they went back to their conversations, which honestly, were very intelligent and interesting. Where as over in Connor's line people were like flipping out, which there is nothing wrong with. It is totally fine to fangirl and everything I just prefer not too. So it was really cool to actually have interesting conversations with people instead of just screaming.
I was kind of nervous waiting in line because I tend to word vomit when I get nervous and I did not feel like doing that today but once I got up there I was instantly cool. They were so nice and it just felt very relaxed and it was nice. They were joking around and just having fun which made me SO much more comfortable. I wrote them some letters and made fancy envelopes which honestly took me ages. I made the first one and instantly regretted it but I was already in it for the long run by that point. I spent so much time making those envelopes that I actually forgot to write the letter until I was sitting in the airport waiting to catch my flight. Yay procrastination. I also made them some string bracelets and I found out after I left that one of them fell out of the envelope and that will haunt me until my dying day. I feel so bad. So if you guys are reading this, I am sorry and I will be sorry until I die. It's just the Canadian in me.
The overall experience was great. Yeah it was quick but there is something about meeting the people who inspire you the most that is the best thing. These people inspire me to be creative and to make stuff and to know that they are real and they are genuine is the best feeling. To me, they felt like the people I see on screen. They were goofing around, making jokes, just being themselves and I love that. It's amazing and it was the best way to start my first VidCon.
The best part about meeting them was the photo I got. I asked them to pose ballet and this was the result.
I mean, you can't beat that. I look really good and I'm in a photo with my favourite people. Honestly this is my favourite photo thus far in my life. It's my laptop and phone background.
I just want to say, (in case any of them are reading this) thank you for being so kind and friendly and making me feel very comfortable. Like I said in my letters and just now, you are my biggest creative inspirations and you kinda made my VidCon. So thank you.
Until next time!
