  • Hello everybody, today I am going to be doing something that I love doing

  • that you all request quite a fair bit

  • which I havent done for a while

  • and that is a Q&A.

  • I've got some of your questions from Twitter and I'm going to answer them for you.

  • "Do you remember the first YouTuber you watched?"

  • I used to watch two YouTubers all the time

  • so the first one was panacea 81

  • which was Lauren Luke

  • and the second one was

  • oh my goodness

  • so it was Leesha who is x sparkage

  • I used to watch her all the time

  • To be honest she is kind of who inspired me to take the plunge

  • and do YouTube

  • because I loved her videos so much.

  • "Have you ever had a disastrous interview?"

  • I have done a fair amount of interviews

  • over the past couple of years

  • and there was one which I feel like I mentioned briefly

  • somewhere

  • but the woman came to my house

  • and she was just asking me all these questions that had absolutely nothing to do with what she was there for

  • since then I've learnt never to do interviews in your own home

  • if any of you out there are watching and someone wants to interview you

  • go "yeah sure let's go somewhere"

  • don't let them come into your house

  • she was really nosy

  • she insisted on seeing inside my wardrobe

  • and I was like "no it's not really that tidy"

  • and she asked me how I felt about the fact

  • that Miley Cyrus was really 'scantily clad'

  • and how I thought it was appropriate that she

  • was a role model for young girls

  • and I was like this has nothing to do with the interview

  • she then proceeded to say "well when did you lose your virginity?"

  • "I mean how old were you then?"

  • and I was just like [duck noise]

  • Obviously I did not answer that question

  • but it was really awkward and

  • I have had a fair amount of very awkward interviews

  • where the interviewer just persists on trying to push you

  • for the best headline they can get

  • however some are actually really lovely

  • it's a right mixed bag

  • "What makes someone a good friend?"

  • I love this question because I have so many friends,

  • who are all very very special to me

  • so I think the qualities that are most important to me are

  • someone who is caring,

  • caring is like the biggest thing

  • trustworthy,

  • a bit weird

  • I'm a bit weird and I feel like

  • if there's someone who I can truly be myself with

  • because they're caring they're trustworthy and they can kind of mess around with me as well

  • that's like the best thing ever

  • I think those are my top 3

  • caring, trustworthy and a bit weird

  • or able to get on my level of weird

  • "What is the craziest fan experience that you've ever had?"

  • Year 2 of the Radio 1 Teen Awards

  • me and Alfie were leaving out the back

  • and I think there was a woman who said

  • "your car is just out there"

  • and we were like "okay"

  • and she sort of waved us off "bye see you later"

  • she essentially released us into a mob of viewers

  • I couldn't see the car, I was like "okay right" The doors close behind us

  • "yeah see you later you're on your own now thanks for coming"

  • there was screaming, running, shouting, I got pushed up against - I didn't even see the car

  • But I got pushed up against the car and I really hurt my back

  • And there was people pressed up against me, against the car, and I could hear them shouting

  • Like because they were stuck too - because people were pushing from behind them

  • And they were going "Stop it give them space" and everyone was screaming

  • But they couldn't move because the people behind them were pushing them

  • And I was just like "Alfie??" Like I'd lost Alfie

  • And I was like "Oh I'm really sorry guys - I'm really so-"

  • I'm being too polite at this point, I should have literally just gone "GET AWAY"

  • My back was being pressed against a corner of the car I think it was the boot

  • At this point there's still no-one like helping us

  • So then I think I went like *that* in the end

  • Because I couldn't - like - cope It was all a lot, and it all happened VERY quickly

  • and then the next thing I know, I was actually in the back of the taxi

  • But I think that was probably the craziest fan experience

  • Because it all happened so quickly

  • But also in slow motion

  • it was the weirdest thing

  • And I just remember that it actually hurt my back

  • Besides that I think when Alfie had his book signing in Waterstones and there was like 8,000 people outside

  • And I just burst into tears I actually think I have a vlog of that

  • Is it in my vlog or Alfie's vlog? I don't remember But I was just very overwhelmed

  • It's a crazy crazy situation to be in

  • And I was just like - oh my god

  • Like people banging on -

  • I mean overwhelmed in like a happy way because I was safe in the car

  • But it was just crazy

  • "How is finalising book three going on?"

  • "Are you enjoying it?"

  • I had so much fun on Saturday -

  • - or was it Sunday? I can't remember -

  • I handed in the first draft manuscript

  • So it's all happening now

  • I still need to do my dedications and acknowledgements

  • but besides that the bulk is done

  • and I'm so happy

  • It was so emotional finishing the last line of the book

  • - in fact I almost cried -

  • I just really hope

  • - come November -

  • you guys love...

  • ... where I've taken it.

  • That's all I'm gonna say

  • "Can you remember the first time you got your period?"

  • Yes I can.

  • I was 14 years old

  • I had a French lesson

  • It was tutor time

  • - which is kind of when they take the register

  • make sure you're still there

  • I think it's about twenty minutes before your last lesson

  • And I was sat on this -

  • we had like high stool/chairs

  • and I remember thinking

  • don't remember having a sweaty bum today

  • you know that horrible black tight trousers that girls used to wear

  • in secondary school, I don't know if you still wear them now, but

  • we used to wear them, the ones that

  • when you walked in a puddle they like flared out so big

  • and I just remember thinking 'its not a particularly stuffy day so i dont know why i feel a bit sweaty'

  • is that too much information? is that tmi? i dont know

  • so the chairs were grey, like a light grey and i remember

  • sitting on a corner for a bit

  • i dont know why i think they were just about high enough that you could have your feet on the ground

  • so people would just perch on the corners of them

  • and then i moved away and i looked at the stool and i was like

  • that looks a bit like a tiny patch of blood but

  • i dont think it is maybe that was there before

  • or maybe someone has drawn on it

  • 'cause my tutor was a DT teacher

  • so there was a lot of pencils, pens

  • and it was the tiniest little mark

  • and I was like - nah i don't think it was

  • and then we went to French

  • and I remember walking to French

  • and saying to my friend..ist that..have I sat in something?

  • is that something on my trousers

  • and she looked, but we had dark navy trousers

  • which I feel like is the worst colour

  • if you've come on your period

  • 'cause how would you ever know

  • and she sort of did the light walk behind me and had a little look

  • and I still actually do that now as a 26 year old

  • sometimes if I have a little panic I'm like I'm gonna walk ahead and you're gonna walk behind me

  • especially if you're wearing a white dress

  • you get paranoid - you get period paranoia

  • and she was kinda like no, no there is nothing there

  • and I was like oh ok

  • it's just a bit weird

  • at no point did I think to go to the toilet and check

  • I just felt like something was wrong

  • got into my French lesson and we were sat on like a

  • wooden bench

  • and I remember being sat there for the majority of the lesson

  • and I scooted along and I looked on the bench and I was like

  • is that wood staining?

  • or is that blood staining?

  • I just don't know

  • I got so confused and I was like

  • do you know what, screw it, I'm going to the flipping toilet

  • so I went to the loo and I

  • had nothing on me

  • I was one of these people that was really exited to start my period

  • I couldn't wait

  • However,

  • I didn't have anything in my schoolbag - just in case

  • because I just didn't think it will happen at school

  • I dunno why

  • so I came out the toilet

  • baring in mind that there was like 10 minutes of the lesson left

  • and I think I just stuffed tissues in my pants

  • I just hoped for the best

  • and...

  • I remember being on the schoolbag on my way home with my jumper wrapped around my back

  • so I sat on my jumper 'cause I didn't want anyone to see

  • just thinking 'oh my god'

  • it happened

  • there is no going back - like...

  • I'm gonna have periods now for years and years and years and...

  • I'm gonna have to go shopping when I get back, I was really, really exited actually

  • "Will you ever write an autobiography?"

  • I've had a lot of people ask me this

  • and I just feel like...

  • my life isn't interesting enough yet...

  • not that I feel like it will get more interesting, but...

  • I don't know, ehm, I feel like it might be something that I'd do

  • on like my thirtieth birthday or in my thirties

  • I feel like...

  • I don't really know if anyone would read that

  • Is my life really that interesting?

  • I don't know

  • Maybe, in like five years

  • if anyone is still interested by that point

  • There are definitely a lot of things I wish I could say now,

  • but I wouldn't be able to because I would either get in trouble or cause trama

  • However,...

  • in like five, six years

  • if I wrote an autobiography I could really tell it how it is

  • now..I think..and

  • There is certainly a lot of stories I'd love to tell

  • lets just put it that way

  • I've already sold ya

  • preorders go up on Friday - I'm joking

  • "How was meeting One Direction? They are my fav band, I need all the deets"

  • I realized

  • I never

  • talked about meeting One Direction, because

  • they all followed me - not all of them - but a couple of them followed me

  • on Twitter afterwards

  • so I felt like I had to play it cool and not really talk about it

  • storytime

  • I said in my last video - it was one of the most nerve wracking days

  • I felt like I looked crap and trust me

  • if there is anyone

  • you wanna look your best for

  • it's Harry Styles

  • yeah I'm not gonna lie, I really fancied him

  • the only thing I was really worried about was that they would think that I was really nervous and rubbish at interviewing them

  • I have no interviewing experience - so

  • there was the possibility of that. I interviewed them

  • erm, Harry and Niall and Zayn, Liam and Louis

  • so I had to do Harry and Niall first

  • so I walked in, there massive bouncer like walked me in

  • and Harry took off his mic

  • he was like sat over there on the other side of the room

  • he took off his mic

  • he came running over

  • he introduced himself to me

  • and to Dom my manager

  • who we called Don i think

  • which was kinda like funny and Dom was like no its Dom and he was like oh sorry Dom

  • and I was like hi I'm Zoe, he gave me a big hug

  • and he was so lovely

  • he kinda just hovers around us by the door

  • I think maybe he wanted a break from sitting in the chair

  • and he took me over to

  • this fridge that was full of drinks and sweets

  • and he was like "do you want a drink"

  • and I was like "I'm fine thank you"

  • and he said "what about a chocolate bar?"

  • he was like c'mon you need to pick a chocolate bar,

  • which chocolate bar do you want?

  • and i was like "ah I'll have a Dime"

  • so he gave me a dime bar out of his fridge

  • and I was like "thank you" and I was like

  • ok I'm about to do an interview

  • and I have a dime bar, so i think I gave the dime bar to Dom

  • and...

  • and then someone was like "Harry you need to come and sit down"

  • so he was like "ok"

  • when I sit down, did the interview he was so

  • so lovely as was Niall, they were both really chatty and really sweet.

  • and he was like "you did really well

  • he followed me on Twitter afterwards

  • I would love to know why he followed me, because...

  • I'll never know...

  • because I didn't ask him to follow me and I didn't give him my Twitter handle

  • so...

  • so he somehow found it or...

  • asked someone - I don't know

  • I would love to know the answer to that, Harry if you're watching,

  • why did you follow me on twitter?

  • and then I did the other three boy who were also all very lovely, but

  • there was just something about Harry

  • and I'm not just saying this because

  • I feel like he has always been one of my favorite members of One Direction

  • but he was just like, a bowl of like

  • happiness

  • and he went like above and beyond to make me feel

  • ok in that situation and

  • after he'd followed me I sent him a DM

  • and I said

  • I did not expect him to ever see it

  • and I said thank you so much for being

  • so lovely

  • and making me feel more relaxed

  • because I was so scared

  • i don't remember what he said, I wish I still had it, maybe I do...

  • How would I find it...

  • Ok, he said

  • "Thank you very much, I hope you had fun and you did a great job.

  • Don't worry .. hope your well Harry xx

  • and I was like

  • I think it was just really nice, because they are just like

  • normal human beings

  • considering how bored he probably was he was so lovely

  • that is meeting One Direction

  • "Is being a YouTuber sometimes hard?"

  • yes!

  • I'm not going to scoot around it

  • yes, sometimes it is hard

  • which I think...

  • for anyone, for any career they've chosen to go into they have that hard moments

  • and just because being a YouTuber may seem really easy to some people because

  • it's not something that their

  • working within or doing

  • and I just think like with everything

  • you're gonna have your down days and you're gonna have your updates, but the difference is

  • everyone else is gonna know about them

  • and I think that's the hard bit, definitely

  • besides that I love what I do so...

  • is it ever really hard or is it hard, but I still enjoy it...

  • it's a very grey

  • area, because it's a hobby and I love it

  • but...

  • i's my job and I earn a living from it and you know...

  • it's a big responsibility

  • it's a job that wasn't a job a while ago

  • so we're all learning and with the good days there come the bad days

  • and it's the same in any career in any job really, so...

  • that is my answer to that

  • I feel like otherwise I'd rumbled for far too long

  • so I'm really sorry if this video is a little bit longer than normal

  • but I did put two kinda epic story times in there for you

  • so I hope you enjoyed those

  • thank you so much for watching

  • and give the video a thumbs-up if you enjoyed it

  • and if you want more kinda chatty Q&A story time videos

  • and I'll see you again very soon - byeee

Hello everybody, today I am going to be doing something that I love doing
