Mind my noobness (?), enjoy~
Today Ian and I went out to get food. Just hanging out and not filming "Lunchtime with Smosh". We thought it would be great to spend some quality time together without cameras following us once in a while.
Ian's driving today too. I hate to admit it but Ian's a better driver than me. If you follow Smosh 2nd Channel you would most probably see that one video when Ian taught me how to use manual-systemed cars. I was only able to drive matic cars before that. Even now, I still have my difficulties.
Put that out of the way, I thought it would be a good time to hang out with Ian alone, just us together. It took me some time to notice, but it had been days since he started to act a bit weird-or at least that's what I thought. So I figured I would try to find out what's bugging him today (well that's ambiguous).
We decided to get our all-time favorite, Mexican food. If we shoot this you guys would probably mumble to yourself "Mexican food again?", well sorry guys, Mexican food's the best there is. I mean, who doesn't love tacos? Or at least not us.
Like usual, we played around with the waitress on the drive-thru-Yes, we actually really do this out of the video, that's why we could be so extremely shameless on our vids. This time Ian put on a Jason Vorhees mask and we could swear we saw the waitress jumped and gasped after seeing Ian. No talking needed this time, Jason Vorhees' stare is enough to make anyone freeze. I held in my laugh seeing the humorous scene right in front of me.
The waitress took our order and slowly handed the food into Ian's hands. "Please... come again" The waitress said while grinning awkwardly.
We drove away and laughed like mad seeing the waitress' reaction. I wonder how many times we pranked drive-thru waitresses? With the fact that we also do that stuff while not being filmed.
We drove home and finally arrived and ready to enjoy our food-after we made barbershop pole jokes, of course. That joke just never gets old. Barbershop pole will always be in our hearts...well not Ian's, I guess.
We brought in our food and I sat down on the sofa. Yeah, not eating on the dining table this time, just felt like sitting and laying my body on something comfy today.
I started to think about my main reason spending time with Ian today, how Ian had been acting weird these days. I'm actually not quite sure what made me think that, but I knew him for years and I could notice the slightest difference about him. But I have to admit, behind his playful figure, Ian is actually good at hiding his emotions and feelings.
Even though I DO know he had always been weird, but it's not exactly this way. Images of Ian doing incredibly ridiculous things came to my head and I unconsciously made a grin.
"You okay, man?"
I looked up from my seat and found the person I just thought about staring at me. "Yeah, dude. Why do you ask?"
"You do realize that you just put on a smile out of the blue, when you're here alone, talking with no one? That's fucking creepy, man..." Ian said playfully while munching his taco.
"What about it? Your heart skipped a beat seeing my attractive smile and smexy lips?" I winked several times seductively-somewhat.
"Yeah, right..." Ian flashed a grin. He then took a seat beside me and continued eating. Surprisingly, both of us shared no words at all except some short small talks-and it was starting to get awkward.
"So..." I decided to break the silence. "Something bothering you, man?" I asked while I took a first bite of my taco, which we would probably record if this is another episode of "Lunchtime with Smosh".
Ian turned his head to face me and stared for a while in confusion, then he continued munching."Nope".
"You sure?" I asked for confirmation.
"Yeah" Ian took the last bite of his taco.
"That's good, then. You got me worried there, man." I smiled.
"What made you think there was something bothering me anyway?" Ian asked.
"Well... you act kinda different, these days." I said while finishing my food. "Might just be my imagination, though.
"Really?" Ian gulped his drink. "How?"
"Dunno for sure." I looked down at the living room table. "You just seemed kinda...distant, I guess."
"Huh" Ian raised an eyebrow."You want to hang out more often or something?" Ian asked.
"That's not exactly it, dude. It's more like you're not like yourself these days." I said. "But of course I don't mind hanging around more often. I mean, a little break from the videos won't hurt, right?" I chuckled.
"True" Ian nods. "Well, do I still not act like Ian today?"
"Ehh... You got better". I grinned.
"No worries, then."
Maybe it really is just my imagination, I thought to myself. I still think something's bugging him, though. He DID sound like he wanted to avoid the question. But I decided to drop it for now.
We decided to talk about something else: videos, donuts, babes, food battle, and other stuff. Ian seemed (or tried) to act like he usually does, grinning, laughing, and doing ridiculous things. I was happy being able to enjoy my time instead of having some serious talk with Ian (which I thought we would had). He's still the best person to do or talk about bizarre things with.
After it started to get late, we decided to end our time. I said my goodbyes to Ian and went back to my home by cab-yeah we don't live together anymore, we're too damn old to be living under the same roof.
A few hours after arriving at my house, Ian texted me about our next video project. We agreed to make a video titled: "Famous Vacation Spots: Hot vs Burning Hot!". It's basically like our "Good vs Surprisingly Good!" video but this time it's about well-known holiday sites.
We haven't really got an idea about the script, just the concept. But at least, that's a start, right? Tomorrow we'll discuss it with the rest of the crew, because we both know that we'll gonna need a lot of backgrounds, costumes, make-up, and other properties for the shoot. We're really hoping that our viewers would be patient enough to wait for a couple of days before we upload a new video, because believe me, it's THAT complicated and tiring at the same time. But as long as we're having fun, why not?
I texted Ian and the crew about discussing the idea together tomorrow. After they agreed, I put on my pjs and laid on my bed, shortly before I fell asleep. Next day's gonna be busy, better sleep earlier because I know I sleep like a log.
