None of us wanted to move from the couch with Phil's air conditioner pointed directly at us. Dan had his smaller fan on the table beside the couch keeping him cool, and we all sat in shorts and T-shirts. The TV was on but no one was listening as we were all too hot to function. It was a the weekend before Vidcon and I had to pack but I didn't want to leave Phil's house since they had the air conditioner. The time was coming up soon when Phil and I were going to announce ourselves to my subscribers but we weren't sure when. I kind of wanted to do it before Vidcon but that was coming up soon and so we had to pick a time./p

My vlog had gone live just two hours prior and there were already so many comments and likes and dislikes. I felt happy that it was out there finally but also scared for what people were saying./p

So, how's everyone doing today? It's a bit of a weird day here. A little too hot. What about you guys? Is it hot where you are? Oh, yeah. A lot of you are saying its hot. Someone from Australia says it was three degrees where they are. Well of course it is. Australia is like opposite us, so it's winter there, right? That still trips me out a little. Anyway, what should we talk about? Oh, how was my day? Hot. Yeah just really hot and sticky. Ugh, okay I just got a message saying 'How do you feel about Phynn?' I knew I had to talk about this at some point so I might as well talk about it now. Yes, I did date Aslynn before but we weren't really right for each other. We both didn't belong together. Although, it did present a chance for us all to be friends. Then a couple months after the break up I noticed a difference in Phil and Aslynn. I don't know how exactly that came about but I just see the way they look at each other and how he treats her and I know that that was what was supposed to be. They really are cute together and I don't know why you all are giving them so much hate. Just because she dated me, doesn't mean she can't date Phil. They're both perfectly capable of making their own decisions and I think it was a good decision. She's definitely more compatible with Phil and Phil is my best friend so I'm just glad to see him happy. Hope that gives you some clarity. Um, are we going to Vidcon? Yes, Phil, Aslynn, and I are all going to Vidcon together. I'm actually excited because I wanted to introduce Aslynn to Cat for a long time. She reminds me so much of her so that'll be fun. Plus, you guys will get to meet her if you haven't already. She's a vlogger so you can check out her videos. Phil is always in them because they hang out like nonstop. But yeah, I've already introduced her to you guys, but just in case you can watch those videos. Um, what else? Oh, yes, I am going to take down the girlfriend tag video, but maybe I might do another video with her again soon." He went on with his live show but I just smiled and hugged Phil./p
