Jazzy: Cheers!
Caitlin: I'm chewing ice.
*intro music plays*
Both: Hello!
Jazzy: Welcome back to a new video, I'm back with my favourite person, Caitlin!
Caitlin: Hi! I'm back.
J: I haven't seen you for 2 months.
C: A long time!
J: Last time I saw you was on my birthday.
For today's video, we will be talking about our life updates,
the last time we did a proper video it was bestfriends tag.
C: Yeah definitely! How many years ago now? 4?
J: Yeah it was 4 years ago.
C: Lots of changes, firstly my hair colour changed.
J: We have pineapple hair.
Caitlin: Matching. I'm a little bit more ginger.. orange.
J: We named our hair pineapple.
C: Yes pineapple hair!
J: I posted on my Instagram story to say we need your questions,
we have lots of questions so we will pick some,
so we can have a general conversation, like what have we been doing with our life...
all of those things! I really hope you enjoy this video,
if you do, make sure to smash it a thumbs up!
Ready? Let's get on with the video, woo!
We are having a girly sleepover tonight.
We will make cocktails.
C: And a few other drinks.
J: This question is the most popular one, how did we meet?
C: Do you want me to say it or you?
J: You go ahead, but I think we already mentioned it on our bestfriends tag video.
C: Yeah but I will say it again, so we met when we were in year 2.
I was a new girl at a primary school, I walked in thinking I'm the best.
And then I saw Jasmine and I was like hi! I tried to talk to her
but she ignored me, I thought it was really rude.
J: Rude girl!
C: Rude. Later on I realised she's deaf, I was like oh... I see.
Then I learnt sign language and we've been bestfriends since then, so.
J: Yeah, so how long have we been bestfriends for?
I've lost count.
C: How old are we, we are 21 so it's been like... 14 years.
J: 14 years? Wow.
I gotta share a photo of us in primary school.
C: Ugly, so ugly.
J: So that's how we met.
C: Next question, one thing I don't like what Jasmine does, it's...
right, I think you will know what I'm going to say.
When we go out, Jasmine always looks in the mirror, oh my god.
When we went to Amsterdam,
I can't tell you how many times I saw Jasmine brushing her hair in the mirror...
I know lots of people like to look in the mirror to see what they look like,
but come on, every 2 minutes.
J: I still do it now, I never change.
Everyone said the same thing,
you need to stop looking in the mirror and I was like I can't help it!
C: Or it's worse when we go shopping... you know like Primark,
they have long mirrors, she will find every mirror.
So annoying.
J: But you still love me.
C: I love you anyway but annoying.
See what I mean!
J: I only did that to wind you up.
C: I don't think so, I think she meant it.
J: How many boyfriends have you had in your life?
C: Zero! Because... I don't know what to say to them.
I'm on my own.
I think the problem is when I'm talking to lots of boys, and then I can't be bothered to talk anymore.
J: I think it's because you never had a serious relationship in your life,
and you went to university, you wanted to live your life.
C: Definitely definitely, but I'm open, if anyone wants to take me,
you know my Instagram so you can slide a DM, thank you.
J: How many boyfriends have I had in my life?
I only had 2 serious relationships, not a lot.
I spent 4 years being single, now I'm in a relationship.
C: Exciting! I still got zero.
J: You have me.
C: Thank you. I think I'd like a boyfriend but anyway...
What's next?
J: What's Caitlin's opinion on sign language?
C: Really interesting question.
I think it's really important to learn sign language,
I think it should be taught in all schools because,
lots of my hearing friends always said, "I'm jealous you can sign,
because I want to talk other people"
it's funny because when we went for my birthday and Jasmine was there,
everyone looked at me like I'm a translator, I was like why don't you learn sign?
So I think it's really important, and I like when...
when we were younger, we could talk on the bus nobody could understand what we said, perfect.
J: But not when people know BSL.
C: That's embarrassing.
J: It happened before, when we were signing,
someone was staring at me, I thought why are you looking at us? We realised they knew BSL like no...
C: Or it's easier when you go clubbing, you can communicate by signing.
But when hearing people are shouting, their voice hurts.
I don't want a sore throat cos it looks like I have covid, no thank you. Signing is good.
What is the next question? What is our best memories together?
J: That's a good one, we have lots of good memories together...
C: Your phone is vibrating.
J: It's pills time.
C: You can tell I've been on TikTok a lot in lockdown.
My best memories together is... When Jasmine came to see me in university,
first night we went clubbing and this was my first time in a new house
it was my 2nd year in a new house, I couldn't remember where I lived.
J: We got lost, we were walking having no clue where we were going.
C: I tried to open someone's door.
J: We have lots of fun memories together, we travelled lots together
like when we went to Dam, this is our best trip together.
I went to visit her at university in Plymouth.
Just everything but my favourite is Amsterdam...
C: It's a secret.
J: Dam was the most fun trip I've been on.
C: Sorry, one more thing, you will laugh at me on this one.
So when I got a new job after finishing uni, Jasmine thought to send me presents.
J: Oh my god.
C: First present never came so Jasmine emailed them to ask where is it? and... haha...
on the next day, a big package came like that big, I was like what's this?
I opened it... there was a tiny alcohol bottle in it, this size, I mean it.
J: It was tiny, I'm not even joking when I ordered it online it looked massive,
and it came in this size.
C: I laughed so much,
J: I can't believe I spent £15 on this size.
And I'm still annoyed your postcard never arrived. I was so annoyed.
We had lots of funny memories together.
C: We will make lots more after covid.
J: What job do you want to do in the future?
C: You go first.
J: Well the job I want to do is related to TV or filming,
just like what I do on YouTube,
but one day I would like to get part in more tv programmes, documentaries or films.
That's something I always want to do since I was little.
C: Really good job for you.
J: Yeah, I was about 7, I'm not sure if you remember that but I got an audition for a tv programme
they were looking for a deaf girl character,
so I did an audition, I remember it was something to do with me pretending to meet a dog,
they phoned me back, I got a second audition,
but another girl got it and I was gutted.
C: I'm not sure, I'm a support worker at a school now,
but in the future, I think I want to be a teacher or social worker,
see what happens.
J: I remember when you wanted to start a deaf drama or dance class?
C: It was a dance school.
But not now...
J: You don't dance anymore.
But maybe a teacher at a secondary school or social worker.
J: This suits you cos you're very smart, not like me.
J: Is Caitlin deaf?
C: No, sorry. It's just I learnt sign language growing up so it's easier for me to sign...
but this is not the first person that asked me.
A few people have asked if I'm deaf, I was like no I'm not, sorry.
If you're deaf, I'm sure you can tell I'm not deaf cos I sign SSE not BSL.
J: We sign SSE together, because our primary school taught us SSE and my family,
when I arrived at secondary school, I changed to BSL.
C: I only know SSE really, only a tiny bit of BSL, not enough to converse with, only SSE really.
C: Next question, do you have any regrets?
J: That's a good one actually, I feel like I don't regret a lot of things in my life,
because if I've done it then it's done, I can't go back to change it.
C: That's a strange question, because you're right,
if I look back, be like oh I regret doing that, I wouldn't be the same person I am today.
J: Yeah, if we make mistakes, we will learn from them, so I don't really have any regrets.
C: I think it's really important to know it's ok to make mistakes at any age,
you will learn from your mistakes, I made thousands but it's ok as we learn from them and move on.
J: Two more questions!
C: This looks like swearing.
J: What did you dream about last night? I still remember my dream from last night.
C: Erm... oh, I can't say it.
Well, I will say, but what I dreamt about is very strange but I can't say because...
but my dream involved Jasmine last night then,
we spoke about it, realising my dream came true... very strange.
J: It's crazy.
C: It was very strange, so yeah.
J: Last night I had a weird dream, it was about the Science Museum... wait for it.
It's related to Halloween because I love halloween ok,
I went with Benny because we both love halloween.
It didn't look the same one in London, it looked different and weird, there was a horror maze,
with halloween stuff.
Someone dared us to go in the halloween room, we got forced,
and then Benny was like I'm going to the toilet bye, he left me alone in a room.
A man came and tried to kill me.
I was protecting myself and shouted to Benny for his help, but a man muted me.
Can you mute someone in real life?
Last question, what would you tell to your young self as advice?
Like me 21 years old giving advice to my 14 year old self.
C: Yeah, I think I will say 3 things, the first one is...
Be more confident, when I was in secondary school,
I was very... not shy but not confident, I'm still not confident 100% at all
but be more confident. Second one is, take everything you can,
when you see something and be like oh, I want to do that. Go for it!
It doesn't matter if you get rejected, it's because you are trying,
like look at Jasmine, she started her YouTube channel 5 years ago, she could've easily given up,
today she's doing a really good job, she loves it.
Just keep trying.
The last thing is probably, don't be scared of other people,
you should love yourself because you're you, you can't change it.
J: These are all good advice.
When I was young, I was stressed and worried over small things,
I wish I could go back and say, you're still young so you got lots of time ahead,
you need to stop worrying about them, I thought life is over soon so I was over stressed,
I realised that we have plenty of time in our life, it doesn't matter how old you are, it's never too late to do it.
I feel like once we're getting older, we realise things more.
C: Definitely, I think life changes what you think, when you're getting older the less you care, like who cares?
I think it's very...
oh you should be nice to everyone because you never know what other people are going thorough,
sometimes you think... when I worked at a phone shop, I thought shut up, you're annoying,
and then I realised they're maybe going through things that you didn't realise, so always be nice to people.
J: Always be kind, no matter what they've been through.
Ok, so this is the end of the video, questions are done now.
I really hope you enjoyed hearing our life updates.
C: It's good to be back.
