As someone who has been an avid watcher of YouTube videos since the good old days of 2008, I, of course, spent a lot of my middle school days dreaming of creating my own YouTube channel and catering to a wide audience of dedicated fans. While I did create a couple of channels, I did find that editing and uploading videos was more time consuming than I had anticipated, and I never did launch my career to YouTube stardom.
That being said, one video I always wanted to film was the "TMI Tag" where you reveal entirely too much information about yourself and I figured it might still be fun to answer these questions, just in article format.
1. What are you currently wearing?
A black t-shirt that says "Thank you, MOOD" that I got at the Mood fabric store in New York City a few years ago as I used to religiously watch "Project Runway," a pair of sleep shorts with pineapples on them, and my glasses because it's nearing my bedtime, and I just took my contacts out.

Yep!

With a romantic partner? No. With a friend? Unfortunately, yes.
