See, isn't that so much nicer than me saying hi?!
So, yeh, as you can see, I met Joey Graceffa and a whole load of other Youtubers :) Joey Graceffa, Luke Conard and Ingrid (Miss Glamorazzi) came over to London from the States so they did a little (ok, not very little at all, there were atleast a couple hundred people!) meet up with some of their fans. They were joined by Jim Chapman, Tanya Burr and Fleur De Force (they're all youtubers too!)
I have to confess that I watch so many youtubers that it takes up a good chunk of my day to watch all their vlogs and videos. So when I heard that some of my absolute favourite vloggers were doing a meet up in London, I just had to go!
I was a bit worried though, I thought I might be the oldest person there at 20, but I need not have worried. First of all, there were so many people that I kind of just blended into the crowd, but also the fact that there were some parents there (ok, fine, they were accompanying their young children to the meet up, but they were still there, ok?) I was really anxious about going on my own though, so I asked my cousin to go with me, and she said yes! But on the day, my brother decided he'd rather encourage her to go to the cinema with him instead :( I didn't let that put me off though, I got on the tube and was making my way over to Soho Square, when I heard an almighty cheer! Holy crap, I had not expected that many people to be there. I know that they have a combined total of over a million subscribers but I didn't expect so many people to show up in London at such short notice! It was incredible!
I obviously wanted to see Joey G, because as you can see, he's a beautiful man and I think I love him, just a little bit. You know, in that "it's never going to happen, but you love them anyway" kind of way! And from the looks of things, I wasn't the only one that felt that way! There was a huge crowd around him, and I had to queue up to see him. I didn't mind though, he was really sweet with all of his fans and it was funny to watch everything that was happening :) Loads of people were getting him to sign copies of the Hunger Games or the Uglies series (Both amazing book series- go and read it now) but I don't buy books anymore because I have my beloved kindle :) So I had an idea, when it was my turn to talk to him, I asked him if he could sign my Kindle cover instead. That way, it's kind of like he signed all my books, right? yes, that's definitely what it is :p By the way, the reason why people were getting him to sign the Hunger Games books is because Joey G is Finnick...or should've been! He's Finnick in my mind :)
| Yes, it says Amy, he couldn't hear me over all the people, I don't mind though :) |
| Oh, and I got a picture with him :) |
And then I went and took pictures with all of the other youtubers! They were all so nice. Jim is so lovely in person, and he makes the English accent sound way better than usual :p Luke was super sweet too, he was making conversation with all the people there, and he asked me where I was from. Ok, is it just me, or do people get confused by this question. Because to me, that question could have 3 different answers: SriLanka, Norway and London.. So I never know what to say to that....so I said all three! Luke may have been a little confused, but he still signed by Kindle case. Luke, Joey and Meghan have a little band called The Tributes, and they have original songs based on the books. I think it's pretty damn cool, and therefore I thought Luke should also sign, as he's kind of book related too!
Whilst at this meet up, I met two lovely people. They'd come on their own as well, so we stuck together after we first met. I met a gorgeous girl called Chawi, who wanted to borrow my pen, and then we bonded over our love for the youtubers. She's taking some exams to get into medical school in Switzerland, so Chawi, good luck to you! I hope it all goes well. The other person I met was a guy called Felipe, he was really nice, and he took my pictures for me! Thank you! He has a youtube channel - go check it out :)
I loved this meet up, it made me soooo happy to meet some of the people that I watch pretty much every day. It was a bit creepy because I felt like I knew quite a lot about them, but they obviously don't know anything about me, I felt a bit like a stalker :/ I know that some people think that I'm a loser for getting so excited about this. But I disagree. Just because it's not an interest that you share with me, it doesn't make it any less exciting for me. So I'm proud of my little trip to go and see some of these youtubers :)
Here's a little collage of me with all of them :)

That's it for now..I still haven't finished a blog that I started a couple of weeks ago, its about the olympics and stuff, so I shall try and finish that tomorrow or something, so that I'm up to date. Also, I just miss writing. I don't know how many people actually read everything I write, but I like knowing that I'm writing something, however random it may be :)
So bye for now xx
