Karlie's POV

"What?! You don't have a tumblr account?" Taylor gave me that look like I've never tried ice cream before. I have to say her reaction was priceless.

"What's the big deal?" Trying to ease to scenario while we're in Taylor's kitchen waiting for our cookies to bake. "I already have twitter, instagram, facebook, and a YouTube channel."

"The big deal is that tumblr is way more different that those social medias" Taylor emphasizes.

"How different could it be?"Taylor smirked. "Oh Karlie.." Taylor gave me a sympathetic pat on my shoulder.

"Tumblr is like the place where you get to meet people who you can relate to, even if they are things that the public doesn't know about you, even though it's weird. It's a place where people won't somehow judge you unlike instagram, or twitter where people can scrutinize or judge you, but I have to admit, tumblr isn't a perfect place for there are still people who judge, but the most part of it is the best part." Taylor pauses. "You get to be surrounded by people with the same interests as you and you can somehow have them like as a family. Also, you get to meet your fans and geek around." Taylor smiles at me like she just introduced me to a new world or something.

"You mean like even though it's dorky or geeky?" I asked.

"Kar, my tumblr is mostly filled with my fans, cats, Law and Order, Friends, and fandoms of those series."

"Fandom?" I gave her a questioning look.

"Right.." Taylor gets her laptop from the kitchen island, opens it then types the word in a search box.

"Okay, technically fandom is a cultural community consists of fans of a certain tv series/books/movies/comics etc. would show their appreciation by writing fanfictions, making drawings of it, write theories about it, or simply appreciating it." She said those words so fast that I could see that she's excited for me.

"Wow." I simply said. I gave her a fascinated smile, seeing Taylor geek around really makes her cute.

"So yeah. Anyway, we should start your own account." Taylor clicks the tumblr tab in her laptop.

"Wait-woah! Hold on." I pulled the laptop screen down, almost closing it. "Don't you think I should do this on my own since it's going to be my personal thing? "

Taylor gives me a smirked face like I was on to something? "What are you planning on doing Kar?" "Maybe some baking stuff, cookies, drones and stuff for starters." I really have no clue where to start. So I'm just going to begin with what I love.

"That's what I thought, when I was new. Later it gets interesting. You might meet other cookie monsters there! Gawd I can't wait for you to fangirl about something so we can share!" Taylor is starting to giggle with excitement like she's "fangirling."

*ding* we heard the oven ring, which means it's time to get the fresh batch of cookies out of it.

"Okay okay you convinced me right there" I'm really excited to meet other cookie monsters. "But first let's fangirl on these fresh baked cookies." I said as I put the tray on the table. "Mmm~ that smells really good." Taylor leans to smell them. We then cleaned up the kitchen while the cookies are cooling off.

After we finished leaning Taylor went where the cookies are "I know this is too early, but.." Taylor says as she grabs a cookie, and gave it to me. "Welcome to the dark side, we have cookies." She grinned at me.

"Okay now you're creeping me out." I nervously laughed.

"Hey I'm just kidding!" Taylor jokes. "Just try not to get so hooked that you forget to sleep, or I have to go to your apartment to get you out of your house. Just have fun, at the same time be responsible!" Taylor laughs. "Let me tell you this, tumblr is really an interesting place that when I was new to this site it got me hooked. that I was still awake till morning. "

I simply laughed at what I just heard from Taylor. She's such an adorable geek.

"Okay okay. Noted." I said. "Thanks Tay for tonight. I'm glad that you loved my cookies." I said as I gave her a tight hug.

"Hey anytime" She said while her face is squished on my arms.

"Well, I better get going so I can open one."

"Can't wait! Just let me know if you need any help." She said "Thanks Tay I'll let you know as soon as I have one." Taylor gave me an assuring smile she escorted me out of her apartment until my driver brought me to the car.

---------------------

As I reached my apartment, I fixed my stuff and did some changing into my comfy clothes. Today was a fun day, and hopefully it's still going to be a continuation as I typed the words "tumbr.com" in my laptop.

Username: Klossy

Password: ***********

As I filled out other information that is needed for the sign-up, minutes later I have my own tumblr account!

Okay this is starting to excite me.

I typed the word "cookies" in the search bar. As I entered it, posts of different kinds of delicious looking cookies showed up . Oh my gawd. I thought to myself. This is going to be a long night.

(An hour later)

Posts after posts of clicking hearts on cookies and baking goods. I suddenly remembered to call Taylor about how it has been. grabbed my phone and contacted her.

"Hey Kar! That took you a while, how's it going?" Taylor said.

"I gotta say, this is incredible!" I told her on the phone. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to call you back. Now I know what you're talking about."

"See!" She chuckles "What's your username so I can follow you." She asked. "It's Klossy. Like my lastname but with a y."

"Awww. that's cute" She says. "So what have you been reblogging before I go to my tumblr?"

"Reblog?" I asked.

"Wait.." She paused "You haven't reblogged anything?"

"Isn't that "liking"? the one that you click the heart?" I said clueless.

I heard Taylor snickered when I told her. "Okay okay Kar, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. Reblogging is what you click when you want to get that post to be on your tumblr website, and people would see what you've been reblogging. It's like sharing in fb, or retweeting in twitter.

"Ohhh. alright. I get it"

"Also, if you want your blog or post to be in a certain category just put a hashtag at the "tags" down below it; just like in twitter, and you can follow other people with the same interests as you." She added.

"Gotcha! Thanks Tay."

"Alright, just try to control your time there okay." She laughs

"I will."

As I got back to it, I started reblogging what I'm sppose to reblog in the first place. Later on, I noticed that Taylor has followed me.

(2 hours later)

I'm starting to receive some followers who they call themselves Klossies. I really find that cute and sweet of them. "Welcome to the Tumblrverse Karlie!," one post tagged me.

And some cookie monsters. My people. I thought to myself. I started reblogging, commenting, and replying to people's post.

I started to yawn. I checked the time. it's almost 12 midnight. I better get some rest.

I simply took control by turning off my laptop, and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and prepare myself to bed. I'm glad I took that one in control. I'm glad that it's Saturday tomorrow.

That's it for now. I'm sorry for the wrong grammar in this fic, but I hope you guys like it :)

Updating it soon.
