Hi there, so I just came back from Vidcon which is like a YouTuber's dream come true,
and it's also like a shipper's dream come true cause every YouTuber gets it on.
I'm just kidding, however, there's a lot of gossip that happens about which YouTubers
are doing which YouTubers, and I just find that really weird because I'm now in a position
where people that I've never met and people that have never met me are talking about me
in that way, and that makes me feel really uncomfortable.
That other people are like: aww man I bet Evan and that person were like "rayrrrr"
And I'm like...
no???
Do you even know me?
Wow.
No.
Either way, it got me thinking about other times when this actually happened for normal
reasons.
High school.
Gossip happens in high school.
It's high school gossip for a reason.
Don't know why it's happening now.
I'm a lot older than that.
Just had my birthday last week.
Anyway, so in high school, I remember one of the biggest events in my life was prom.
Why was it the most biggest event?
Because my parents told me it would be.
Because the media told me it would be.
Because cartoons and other tv shows told me that prom was really important.
But when I was 16 I didn't have a girlfriend.
I didn't even know if I was attracted to anyone at that point.
However someone was like Evan!
You have to go to prom!
Even if you go alone!
You'll find someone there.
So I said, fine.
If it's such a big deal, I'll go.
So I went to my high school prom.
And if you've never been to a prom in high school.
If you're not American, if you don't understand the culture, I'll explain it really quickly.
It happens in a couple different parts.
1.
You rent an overpriced tux.
I don't know why I did that.
Every year I went to prom I rented a tux.
I could've BOUGHT a suit.
However, I wouldn't have fit in it now.
Either way, I could've bought a suit.
So you rent an overpriced tux.
You rent a limo with some friends.
And then you buy the prom ticket and then you go to prom.
And then that's it!
Except you feel like you're missing out on a lot of money.
So you go to prom.
You eat the very nice food in the buffet.
You dance a little.
You eat some more food.
They announce the prom king and queen.
You cry because you're not the prom king or queen.
Or both.
And then you dance some more.
Do one of those slow dances.
Chocolate fondue fountain.
And then you head off in a limo back home.
Great!
Where'd my money go?
To the prom.
I hope I had a good experience!
Now how was my experience you might ask?
It was actually pretty good.
Like I like to make the most of things, so I go to this prom alone.
I enjoy the amazing food because that's what I'm really there for.
That punch bowl and those cheetos.
And the really gourmet like bacon-wrapped salmon.
So I'm going, and if you've ever been to the dance floor at a prom or most dance floors,
they're split up into basically 3 sections.
Ours was a rectangle, and you have the DJ and the huge speakers pumping out some house
music at one end, and at that third is the cool kids.
The cool kids are just dancing.
They're grinding away having their "vertical sex" as I called it as a naive 16 year old
who was too afraid of mentioning anything referring to sex.
Anyway, that's where they would do the do.
And then the middle half was just people kinda cool, kinda dancing like "yeah I could do
that if I wanted to, but I'm just here to have a fun time."
And then at the last half, the furthest you can get from the speakers.
There's not that many people, and there's some people doing some weird dancing.
Ya know, basically you know where I'm gonna be.
That's where I'm gonna be.
I'm at the end.
I'm doing the sprinkler.
Tellin' the girls "that's what I'm talkin' about!"
Doing the shopping cart.
Gonna pick that up, ooo gonna... too many trans fats.
Gonna put that back.
I'm doing the cool dancing.
Okay?
And I'm happy dancing with some people I know.
It's an okay time.
However... which is a word I say a lot in vlogs.
However!
It's a good transition!
However, at some point during the night, they announce the prom king and queen.
I'm like okay cool.
Didn't really expect it to be me anyway.
It was ya know, a quarterback and a cheerleader.
No lie!
It is very stereotypical (veryotypical).
So, throughout the night, I'm doing my cool dancing.
I'm having a nice time with friends.
It doesn't matter that I'm alone because I'm not really thinking about it.
That's not really on the top of my mind.
But then!
Out of nowhere.
A hand grabs my arm while I'm mid-sprinkler.
Okay, I'm doing this...
Haha!
Boom!
What's happening??
I am now pulled through the dance floor by this mystery woman.
She turns around and I recognise her.
She's the girl that is in my English class, and I don't think I've ever even said 1 word
to her?
Maybe except..."hey."
Like that's it.
That's it.
But she's pulling me through, and at this point I have tunnel vision because I have
no clue what is going on.
I'm saying good bye to my friends as I enter this new world going through closer and closer
to the house speakers.
Eventually, we pull through.
I cool guy dance through the dance floor while holding onto this girl's arm, and we get right
next to the DJ.
I could fondle his beard if I wanted to.
His shoes were right there.
The speakers are blasting my ears.
I can't hear a thing except for bom ba bom bom ba bom.
And then this girl... she turns around and sticks her rumplestiltskin on my stiltskin.
It was grind time.
I didn't even bring my pokemon game, but there was grinding happening.
The guy next to me, I turn to my right, and it's Mikey!
The quarterback!
And he looks at me like "Yeah!
Scooter!" which makes this situation a bit worse because
my nickname was scooter in high school.
How am I supposed to be the cool kid if my name is scooter.
So he was like yeah!
He's looking at me like yeah man!
You're doin' it!
And I was like yeah!
And so I try and blend in, and I'm like immediately groupthink on.
I go from this is really awkward to... pssh yeah... a normal day, man.
I look at him like yeah man.
Yeah this is what's up.
And I start...
goin' down.
I am grinding okay.
I am like yeah.
This is high school.
And in my mind there's a billion things happening every minute, and there's also nothing happening
because I'm dead inside.
So I'm going like "yeah uh... gonna keep it up.
Uh.
This is the beat" Now most of my body was really excited at
this time because I'm so happy that this is happening in my life.
This thing that I was totally against, and now I'm like yeah I'm totally cool.
Except one part of my body may have been, a bit more excited than the rest.
And he definitely wanted to tell everybody that he was excited.
That rumpelstiltskin was happening.
So I was like Ahh!
Whoah!!
And I continued to dance while also beginning to realise this dance might get slightly awkward.
So I then in mid-dance, we're like getting down.
I'm realising that maybe I should work out my knees more.
Do some squats.
I literally stand up straight from the dance, lean over into her ear and whisper: Thanks
for this.
*laughs* And then I leave!
And then I leave!
I just walk away!
I shimmied my way back from the cool kid's dance.
I get some chocolate fondue.
Because that's all that I'm thinkin' of.
I was so, SO... even if that didn't happen with my John Hancock, even if that wasn't
a thing.
To just... she pulled me, I don't know if she was interested in me or what that was
about.
Maybe she felt bad for me and was like let's just grab this really nerdy kid and pull him
up and he can be cool and grind with us.
I don't know what was gonna happen there.
Maybe that could've been a different life path for me.
However, "Thanks for this" happened.
Thanks for this.
*laughs* And then, we get in our limo, we go home,
and I tell NO ONE.
I hope she didn't tell anyone, but I've now told all of you.
I just remembered this incredibly awkward story while I was in the shower the other
day, and I felt like sharing it with you.
