California yo

[SuperShowtimeGirl]

I bet my town is worse than that. We have a casino (not that I can go anyway) and ski slopes, but the slopes kinda suck if you're like me and don't like winter or snow. Plus, it's hills not mountains.......it sucks if you're used to GOOD skiing. But you're awesome! One of my fav YouTubers!

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

What city were you in? Because I live very close to Santa Cruz, in a town that fits your description, Monterey.

[TheLozFanVlogs]

I knew about Wales! We studied about it in our English class about a year ago I guess. :)

[gt198gtr]

i didn't realize there was a difference between wales and england, till now

[Viniter24]

All my friends are dead... in my pants. :-(

[MelancholyKoala]

honest to god i didnt know the mirrior thing happened

[Gingerrandoms]

You have a fab reading voice!

[flashbacktv7]

she may have got a full view of the beach but when she was getting changed i bet the beach got a full view of her

[kapoof2]

californian here, and cougars are much too small to ride, trust me, i tried

[nico3641]

Isn't Catherine Zeta Jones from Wales too? I kind of see the resemblance.

[lennmusicman]

Sloowwly getting dark in the background :)

[ItachiUchiha2010]

A can of coke for a dollar? I must find that vending machine.

[sittinginsmallplaces]

haha car mirrors in australia say that too

[TheAxman17]

I watched you jump on the bed about 5 times... I don't know why, but it was awesome...

[VoodooRock01]

Cougars - look a bit like 40 year old women...? I don't think they'd approve to being ridden in a tsunami.... Oh and where did you get those awesome books?

[Eilidhmacq]

I have that book!

[Forestsummoner]

I didn't concentrate on what you were saying

I was only noticing how it got darker and your tea that pops up

[aimeef16]

I've heard of Wales, I'm part Welsh :D

[Rater362]

Hey, my car says that too!! I didn't know it was just in the US that people did that...

[Rater362]

After watching Sarcaschicks, Alex Day, Charlie McDonnel, and you I want to do a vlog and then I think: But, I should have a British accent.

[SingIt135]

@Rater362 Agreed. Oh I agree so much!

[uiruu]

@Rater362 You don't NEED one. John and Hank do alright without the accent lol

[HeyLauraHeyLaura]

You remind me so much of Charlie McDonnell like the way u speak and ur expressions are just so alike to his omg

[JeffClark76]

I'm from California (San Diego) and I've not only _heard_ of Wales, but I've visited there. Beautiful country and beautiful people! I share your amusement about our catering to the stupidest people - with silly warnings in side mirrors, etc.

[imamadmad1]

most of my information on wales comes from DW confidential and torchwood

[BugabooBirdie]

I live in California but if you go waaaaay far back my family is from Wales, I did research project on it in eighth grade. It seems like a lovely country. But lots of the town names are incredibly hard to pronounce. :)

[piwiator]

@BugabooBirdie There is a village in wales called:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwy­rndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

i kid you not!

[BugabooBirdie]

@piwiator I know! I saw that when I was doing my research! Haha, I have NO clue how to pronounce that though.

[ThEindecisiveKiD]

If you hadn't noticed, there are a lot of retarded people in America. This is why we have retarded warnings on everything. They have warnings telling people that coffee is hot... My country is wonderful.

[CAM2155]

I agree American money doesn't lend itself well to idle glaces and to be honest it's just a bit boring. Multicoulored bills are far cooler.

[singingstar11296]

@xKittensx Actually, that's kind of expensive. You can get a 2 liter bottle for a little more than a dollar at almost any grocery store.

[xKittensx]

You can buy.. a can of coke.. for a dollar..?

Here in Australia we pay around 3 bucks for that. -.-

[ThEindecisiveKiD]

@xKittensx would it make you feel better if I told you that one dollar for a can of coke is a lot?

[xKittensx]

@ThEindecisiveKiD No, it does not. Why is this happening.. I want to pay a dollar for a 2 liter bottle. DX

[dob1997]

i dont even know... i mean... was there a moral to all my friends are dead or was it just morbid for fun? Most halariously awful thing ever

[crazydude210]

california is fun! especially with all this great weather we're having! 80+ Santa Ana winds and perpetual fear of earthquakes!

[flakkanon]

nice tags

[personifyingchaos]

I'm from America, but I'm a geek, and I swear, everything I love either comes from or has strong connections to the U.K. I might not catch the Welsh immediately, but that is NOT a London accent! I'd get you out eventually!

[OhItsJustKim]

@personifyingchaos I appreciate that <3 Thank you for not being oblivious to the existence of my country.

[personifyingchaos]

@OhItsJustKim Oh I watch BBC WAY too much to be completely oblivious about an entire COUNTRY in the UK. Besides, Welsh is an interestingly weird language. Thank you so very much for teaching me more bizarre bits or it.

[CreckerWho]

@OhItsJustKim sorry, just had to say this. All of my friends want to move to the U.K. I went to London once, and that was enough for me to fall in love with the it forever. It is true that very few people in America appreciate the U.K., but i strongly disagree with them. Either way, just wanted to let you know that me and all of my friends love the U.K! There are some decent people in America... Just... Very few of them =\

[kiwifruit138]

I read that all my friends were dead book while standing in line at american eagle, i was literally, dying of laughter, and people kept giving me weird looks

[timverma]

Cougars look like older women attempting to attract youthful mates.

The animal is a North American native species of large wild cat. They are similar to Mountain Lions, Pumas, and Mountain Cats.

That was a lie, they are all names for the same same animal.

[Yackemz]

I now want to merry a girl with your accent.. Hmm.

[LilySkye]

Santa Cruz!!! That's where I go to college c:

[MisterBlack215]

I wish I could go to California...instead I'm going to NEW YORK FOR CHRISTMAS!!! Yay! Gr8 video once again! :)

[RT19908888]

quick question.. how to you distinguish a welsh accent from say, london accent? Or , actually, any accents from britain ?

[MyPrettyOdd]

@RT19908888 Because they all sound completely different. I'm from North East England and I sound nothing like someone from London.

[RT19908888]

@MyPrettyOdd I guess im just stupid for not being able to tell the difference .. 

[kathrynmaeful]

@RT19908888 it's very difficult to explain without having met people from all around england. i'm english and even i find it difficult at times as some of them are so subtle..but there are sooo many accents within the united kingdom, i.e the southern ones, like london, essex, etc.. then there's the northern ones like yorkshire, liverpool, etc.. then there's also scottish, welsh and irish accents as well. and that's just naming the typical, easy-to-recognise ones... there's like a million more :P

[MrVikingrocks]

Awesome darling u r gorgeous ..... I like u intact I love ....muaaaah

[tophernates]

@OhItsJustKim ever see the film twin town?

[tophernates]

go to so cal.

i think our sirens are pretty awesome

[zoestertoasterr]

Kim just btw u are my new favorite youtuber :)

could u check out my channel? I vlog too

[mcflipc77]

i go to santa cruz every weekend! cheers from pleasanton!

[micmcc20886]

Im still trying to work out how you came to trying to compare a pigeon and a cougar...just plain random lol

[OhItsJustKim]

@micmcc20886 To be honest, so am I..

[TheDemonOzzy]

She's not saying the mirror's message is incorrect, she's saying its unnecessary, so would people please stop posting wing-mirror defensive comments?!

[ColieAnne91]

funny girl.

but those mirrors have to say that because if you look in it then look behind you the objects really are closer than they appear. idk why tho.

[OhItsJustKim]

@ColieAnne91 Yes, I'm aware how a mirror works! But that's my point. That's not specific to car wing mirrors, it's the characteristic of ALL mirrors, so why do they think it's necessary to print it on? xD

[ColieAnne91]

@OhItsJustKim The phrase is a safety warning that is required to be on passenger side mirrors vehicles in USA, India, Canada and Australia.because while these mirrors' convexity gives them a useful field of view, it also makes objects appear smaller.smaller-appearing objects seem farther away than they actually are. The warning serves as a reminder to the driver of this potential problem.

i just got that from wikipedia.

[katiemayyy710]

@OhItsJustKim For some reason, the passenger side mirror distorts the distance/sizes of things more than the driver's side mirror. Though I'm not sure why.

I always found that perplexing as a kid...

I guess it's fitting, therefore, that that was the mirror that popped off when I hit a mail box (I'm not a good judge of distances, even without that mirror).

[Angel77777771]

@OhItsJustKim Well, sadly, most people are incredibly stupid you see. xD

[uiruu]

@OhItsJustKim Because Americans are stupid and need that pointed out. I would know. I mean, I deal with stupid Americans daily, not that I forget how mirrors work.

[YouShotMyRobot]

@OhItsJustKim Side mirrors are convex mirrors: "Because of the distance from the driver's eye to the passenger side mirror, a useful field of view can only be achieved with a convex or aspheric mirror. However, the convexity also minifies the objects shown. Since minified objects seem farther away than they actually are, a driver might make a maneuver such as a lane change assuming an adjacent vehicle is a safe distance behind, when in fact it is quite a bit closer." - wiki

[GaMFORD]

Kim you are so beautiful -3

[frrizz6]

Half way through the video it gets dark :P

[benandmarc]

Wa part of wales are ya from ??

I'm from Swansea :D

[Masterstrikeful]

Don't leve don't no how to spelleftyxy but don't leve me friend hmmm

[Oldfashionholedig]

I love all my friend are dead!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ollivdl]

Ih uh ih uh ih uh...

The mirrortext... Actually.... It does make sense....

Rear view mirrors are often slightly bent to give some wider observation angle.

I cannot explain totally, but It might make some sense somewhere anyway, as it is not a flat mirror, and thus fooling the viewer...

Tomdelidillydom

[SarntBullPup72]

@Ohitsjustkim

Your smashing wots ya digits?? :)

[greatbritishmale]

@James33it because she's from south Wales, the nice part where they all speak English :)

[thecoolkid775]

I love that mini hat!

[James33it]

ya don't sound welsh

[bikingnutcase0]

Starfish is where it's at! ;-)

[plipiethefish]

2:16 LOL

[mikethegine68]

Man, your vidieos always make me laugh. In a good way :)

[go1711]

My sister has All My Friends Are Dead! She bought it in a store that claimed to be a time travel shop. It was awesome. There were dinosaur eggs in a fake fridge and a broken coffee machine that said "Out of Order, come back yesterday."

[Anyality]

That's odd... I've never really questioned the mirror warning. Hm.

[LiamBevan94]

1:20 - 1:41 = every american holiday i've ever been on... in my life. -_-

[darkmater4tm]

pretty and funny

I can subscribe...

[Ppppinkland]

My friend got 'My friends are dead' for her birthday today and we immediately thought of this video!

[FantasticBrina]

I live in California haha....... I've heard of Wales :)

[Playasong112]

(Oh, and congrats on finally getting the best room on a vacation. :] )

[Playasong112]

You are gorgeous and awesome and brilliant. Just thought you should know. Also, your videos are quick and clever and they provide me with oodles of amusement. I like how you'd talk about the big bed and quickly cut to you jumping onto it--I agree! That is the perfect place to starfish!

[Ahreeyuh]

oh.my.god.

i grew up in santa cruz :)

[BlameGov]

You deserve more subscribers :D

[TheTeenageRebel]

I honestly don't see the similarities between you and Charlie... I'm not just saying that either. I mean, I like both you and Charlie, but you are NOTHING alike. Why does everyone think you are the same...?!

[DavidsonLoops]

@TheTeenageRebel Accent. They do kinda talk the same.

[kishanrahul]

Hey Kim there is a weird shadow behind your screen in this video watch it carefully.....

I think its paranormal ahaaaaaaaa........

Be careful....

[WhaleyVlogs]

It's as if you took a charlieissocoollike video, took out Charlie, then put in a much cooler and totally unique person named Kim who is not like him at all.

[OhItsJustKim]

@WhaleyVlogs *cough* Twitter support :P I meant to reply to your message by the way. Let's be friends <3

[WhaleyVlogs]

@OhItsJustKim Twitter is like having an army backing you up. I just showed up first I suppose. I made a friend?? Gah! This is exciting! Hello friend!

[Freshlywashed]

I think you should make a video explaining what you like and don't like about the U.S

[RedHatMaddie]

I live in Santa Cruz! Is it weird that I got really excited when you said you stopped there...?

[xXXHariboXX]

I read all My Friends are Dead in a book shop not too long ago. Best. Book. Ever.

[SmilePaige]

did you like Santa Cruz? Please tell me you went to the Boardwalk!?

[SmilePaige]

AHHH i wish I saw you, not that i would've thought anything but Oh my god I love her accent. but I'm from Santa Cruz!

[Mp5Drummer]

This isn't a bad thing, but you and Alex Day could do one of those body swap films... and just live your daily lives. You act almost exactly like each other. But like I said, it's a good thing :)

[spadfoot]

aaah you are soo lovely ( =

[MrMarshmallowDan]

I have no idea how I've only just found your videos, but I feel like I've been missing out!

[BSmeansBlueSalad]

:D you make me laugh! This is the first video I've watched from you and I've subbed! yeps. I grew up reading the "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" writing on car mirrors. I was always like...hmmm.... is that true? And then I would go home and experiment with my bathroom mirror. Was I really closer than I appeared in the mirror? It blew my mind...but yes...very unnecessary warning. HAHAHA Ride that cougar!!!

[gwenopeno91]

Ye rhywun arall sydd yn dod o Gymru ar YouTube! Ti'n siarad Cymraeg? :)

[gwenopeno91]

I'm just a ikkle bit curious. Did you do more videos than 9 and delete them, cos you've got 4000 odd subs and are a partner and only 9 videos? 9. 9. If not, you're goood.

[EvanJStern]

Almost visited Cardiff when I was in first year - I regret not going because I heard only wonderful things. By the way you are very entertaining to listen to!

[EvanJStern]

I WANT TO GO TO CALIFORNIA! I'm from the ol' Ca-na-dee-a and I am looking to acquire my duel citizenship in order to visit whenever I want. - that book looks great.

[itstheniceguyme]

*instantsubbing*

[edgehaedjr]

I'm from California and I know where Wales is. Then again, I read a lot; and love Europe!

[DavidVlogs]

Haha! I love the 'All My Friends Are Dead' book. Enjoy your time in California!

[pantelin2]

Your so all over the place! Love it :D

[s16mathers]

►Hold down 2 on ur keyboard and u'll see her shivering #lol

[AdamUPNow]

Yea I would buy those books too. 2:30 Wow your sister roll in style while you sleep on a couch. 3:17 And it has different horns to if you can catch it. Well Welcome to the Americas!

[gigglyvicki]

you're the girl version of Charlie McDonnell! You're so funny <3

[SeahorseShimmer]

I know of Wales, I almost went there via ferry when I was visting liverpool, but alas did not. I will one day =]

[DrDeath26]

I know of Wales... Bron-Yr-Aur...

[Nunnzii]

All my friends are bread :3

[PikaboYou]

yea americas stupid :D i would know cause ive lived in it for my whole life.

[nori452]

1. I'm American and I've heard of Wales (had a professor from there....and I watch Torchwood-because that makes me an expert I suppose haha)

2. The dollar bill is pointless (as is the penny) give me a pound and 2p any day

3. It's always nice to get a "foreigner's" perspective on American things.

[TheNajine]

All My Friends Are Dead! My friend has that book, and it is amazing. Somewhat sad, but amazing.

[arapanasati]

You described my home town to a tee. Super rainy, nothing to do, tsunamis, national parks, and in California.

[83244genesis]

When I get something in my eye I try I rub my eye hoping it will fall out or dissolve. If that doesn't work then I go to the mirror to see if it's a eyelash or a sty to find out if poking has a remote chance of helping. Generally I just splash water in my eye and end up blinking a lot.

[Airhead4321]

The fellow in the jungle book was a black panther. BAGHEEEEEEEERAAAA!

[mikee1129]

Sooo...Why aren't there girls like Kim where I live?

[OhItsJustKim]

@mikee1129 Because if there were too many of me, the universe would implode from the awesomeness.

[mikee1129]

@OhItsJustKim Ah, of course. If the Tardis can't even hold a paradox like that together, the universe has no chance. I should have known...

[jaceyslayer]

What do you use to film?

[randomvidsbymee]

Im so confused with your accent! Its not welsh, I met a "welsh" guy on holiday and I thought he was pretending because of his lack of a welsh accent so I shunned him but he had a similar accent to you so now ive realised that I was probably just being mean to a cute welsh guy D:

[dressyourhead]

8U this is the first video of yours i've seen. you're sort of like a female alex day? i like it.

[talsophrox]

in california, ppl do need the warning...

[underthesea663]

You think that the mirror words are bad? Notice that all of our hot drinks say "Caution, the beverage you are about to enjoy is hot!"

[OhItsJustKim]

@underthesea663 Haha I noticed xD Apparently it's because people sued coffee companies if they were burnt by their drink, and putting the warning on stops it being the company's responsibility. Clearly common sense isn't enough.. xD

[underthesea663]

@OhItsJustKim Wait... common sense? Is that a new app? (And yes, it did take me 3 weeks to come up with that witticism [not really])

[myinnernerd]

I really need to buy those books.

[Quintonir]

@OhItsJustKim

Yeah, they're just awful. :D

[punkstoper]

Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

is a Song.

[eslher]

omg I LOVE WALES!!!!!!!!!!!

[nerdgirlsforthewin]

"justkissmyfrog" said the exact same thing... that she just gave up and said she was from London after a few tries. :) Sorry we are lame... on the other hand, I'm sure you don't know about SOME U.S. places... right? no? Fine. Sadface. Have fun with the cougar hunting and swimming in tsunamis... that's what you said, I think.

[LookItsJagan]

hmm... tsunamis !

So, who use to swim on tsunamis just like me ? :P

[AlexeiRomanov100]

So your lying about your nationality? Ashamed of something. Customs will find you. Awesome video. And you and Luke would make an awesome weird couple.

[FrannyLuvsAll]

I'm surprised no one has yet asked if you know Kate Middleton. I say this because I ran into a guy who was from London outside a bar a few weekends ago (the only legit British person I've ever met, save for a few boys from a soccer team on the T one afternoon) and literally the first thing I said was, oh do you know Kate Middleton? Why would I even ask that? I have no idea. But, there it was. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

[YayesItsLina]

Hope the rest of your visit in California goes well! :)

[PerpetualJoy]

yeah im the youngest too in my family. on vacations i would get the honor of sleeping on the floor next to the bed if there wasnt a couch. good times right?

[SuperKeysey]

WHAT'S THE WELSH WORD OF THE DAY!? ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[iliveonplanetspace]

I just pictured a warning sign with a picture of Courteney Cox on it.

No TV for me for a week.

[MotoMoto1912]

Everything about this video is excellent. You are so brilliant :D

[1992Jarhead]

I love you. That's all xD. Your videos are amazing :)

[zinniafairy2]

Love your video's so much. :3

[curt270395]

Haha i love that spiny chair :O BRING IT BACK OVER TO THE UK AND WE CAN TRADE :D The sign part did make me laugh rather hard !

Darn i want a coke now -.-

[mtyd05]

I think we definitely need that disclaimer in the mirror because we got some stupid people here.

[kimkuhn]

recently subscribed and this video confirmed my initial reaction. you are awesome.

[BingBac]

"Riding a cougar," "big clocks" and "massive horn on top of that"

This vid is like gold to those with a dirty mind xD

(not saying I do, just pointing it out)

[matthewgilpincom]

@BingBac i voted your comment down by mistake!!!!!!! sorry!!!!!

[willfeav]

I think it's mainly an EU thing to not have that written in the rear view mirror. Apparently us Europeans can't concentrate on the road if we have a major distraction like text! Maybe it was just obstructing too much of the mirror for those idiots... i mean clever sods... who do their make-up while driving.

wikipedia: In the United States, Canada, and Australia, passenger-side mirrors are etched or printed with the warning, in Europe, the proliferation of languages would make it too difficult.

[danmann44]

Kim. You are simply amazing.

[janeausten94]

welsh word of the day?

[lilmizzcute12345]

i want that book!

[DrAwesomeCakes]

So you like, live in wales? Not that I'm planning on stalking you or anythingg...

[SuperBirdii]

Americans who have never heard of Wales make me feel bad about being an American myself. i've heard of Wales. i understand the difference between Wales and England. it's not hard. *sigh*

[SarahahaProduction]

cool

[thequeenofmao]

I gave the "All my friends are dead." book to my friend for her birthday last year!

[RackiePlib]

Silly Americans thinking England is the entirety of Britain,

[nikikittycupcake]

I fill obligated to apologise for my fellow Americans stupidity and I never quite understood why that sign was on the cars. I also put milk in my tea and

People ask are you British? And I look at them like um what? And I tell them no. And then they just look at me like a weirdo. (haha that rhymed!!)

[duckpondwithoutducks]

I just read a book called How To Avoid Large Ships, And Other Implausibly Titled Books. It must be a sequel (or prequel) to yours - how many books can have that kind of title!

[MoreMoreOrange]

I laughed at the bed swan dive! hahaa!! -B

[weirdfoodbunny13]

It's alright. Us Americans are quite weird. xD

[MrMattasourus]

No there's not much difference between pigeons and cougars cos we have signs saying 'watch out or pigeons' everywhere

[LookItsJagan]

color colour :) awesome....! this video is something totally different from your previous vid and i love that :D thumps up if you think this video is cute, awesome, best, etc...
