the best weekend

so, the weekend was awesome. like insane. got the train at 6.30am on Saturday. got to London just after 8. and then met my friends from Liverpool, Jessica and Victoria in the giant queue. i was surrounded by lots of dressed up people, lots of Amy pond's, the 10th doctor's, 11th doctors---dressed in cowboy hats and bow ties. once in, we ran to Evanna's desk and waited for her to appear. we were going to be the first, so that was gonna be cool. we were waiting there and Arthur darvill walked past...kinda 'eeked' out loud. when evanna turned up she was so lovely. we spoke to her for ages. she really seemed to want to listen and talk to me. she made me feel so special. she was just so warm and friendly. she signed my wand and a photo of herself. then later we met Arthur. i told him that i loved his bowler hat. he said thanks, however he was only wearing it due to the fact his hair was a mess. he then took his hat off and shook his hair in my face and said 'LOOK'. he signed an American doctor who comic i had got last week, which he was on front. he looked at it for a bit and was like, 'what is this?!?' he liked it very much. we then gave him an elephant hand puppet, and Matt smith has a badger, and Karen Gillan has a fox, he had to have an elephant, as 'he is the nose' haha. he liked it very much, and even remembered to bring it to our photo shoots to have it in the photo. i had an awesome Saturday, met lots of people, spoke to lots of fans, brought some cool little bits, went to the Harry Potter talk and the Doctor Who talk, and just had fun.Sunday morning i had to get up early again, as i went back. today was David tennant day. i really couldn't believe that morning today was the day i would finally meet David tennant, after all these years...watching Casanova, doctor who, everything...i really wasn't mentally prepared. so went with dad on the Sunday morning. got there, and everything seemed calm. although when it was photo shoot time, everyone went crazy. so many people who have never been to any of these events before really were not listening to anyone. i was in the queue with three people cosplaying as doctor who characters and a guy behind me. people keep asking us, is this the queue for David tennant photo shoot. we said yes and asked what number, keep in mind they were only calling numbers 1-100 tickets. and these people had 435, or like 698...we told them to come back later...but they would just stand there....it was really crazy. we just couldn't understand why they wouldn't listen. anyway, all the way in the queue we were talking about how weird this felt, finally being able to meet him. the queue was going so fast, and i realised i would only have a few seconds. but to be honest, anything would be enough. walking up to someone to like super love, in insane. i really don't think i will ever be able to explain it. people at work keep asking me, what was it like...but i never really know the right words. while i was watching other people in front of me go first, sometimes he smiled with his teeth, other times he had his mouth shut. he looked straight at me and said hello. he put his arm around me. i was thinking, please smile with your teeth...please. i looked out the corner of my eye...and he did. he was so lovely. if i had got his autograph i might of had a little more time with him...but i already have it a few times, and couldn't really afford it. i had such an awesome weekend. i still cant believe that i have finally met David. i thought i would meet him when he was old and grey. and that i met Evanna and Arthur, who were ever so lovely and funny. i missed doctor who...but i watched it when i got it. man, that was one weird episode. i do feel i need to watch it again. arrggh, hurry up Christmas...Saturday nights are going to be strange without it. back to normal everyday stuff now.

that's where you belong

today has been one of those days. blah. i don't really know where to start. maybe the beginning would be a good idea. ok, so woke up this morning like any other. i had such a giant headache, i felt so sick. went downstairs to find my dad sitting on the sofa with the same problem. only to hear that mum went to work with a really bad headache. this is weird.

ok, so anyway day goes on (no work today, day off), i then check this forum thingy to see if there are any updates on my convention in October, to then read a post that said a HUGE guest would be announced tonight at 7pm...the words huge were in caps and were in bold, so i knew this was gonna be big. so many ideas, and rumours had been going around in my head. there had been alot said about a giant doctor who guest, like Billie, or Christopher, or David or Matt. anyway day goes on, head doesn't get better even though i have taken medicine.

i sorted my phone out so i can get email on it, because i was getting fed up of keep logging in and checking to see if i got my pottermore email. and then it happened. there was a beep noise on my phone, and i thought to myself for a spilt second "that's my pottermore email"...and then thought, "nah, its not", so went back to doing what i was doing. about 32mins later, i checked my email to find i did in fact have my pottermore email. then i ran to the computer, logged on...and wow...pottermore is so pretty. got my wand. got a house. i was super scared about being sorted after J.K.Rowling talks to you about it. but i ended up being ravenclaw. i kinda love it. its perfect. so its 6.55pm, and i turn to my dad and say..."omg, who is this guest gonna be" he says he knows who its gonna be, but wont tell me, and he also tells me not to get excited. so i go upstairs to the computer to find out...the walk up the stairs seems like mega long, so long. log on to the website, it crashes..i think, damn...its a sign. get on to the page, and i see David Tennant's name staring back at me. my mouth kinda drops...i stare at it for a few seconds..then click the link. and hes only going Sunday...and i am going Saturday. its David Tennant...so i am going both days now. i have to. hes my all time favorite.


i have to go.


i just have to.


his autograph is like £45...i think that's far too much. I would rather spend £35 on a photo shoot (which i have), plus i already have his autograph, and at least i get to meet him..and touch him..maybe get a hug. to be honest, i feel like crying a little. its insane. i am so sorry about this stupid post.
also..i still have a headache.

much for you

i went to London on Thursday and Friday. i met my friend Claire from uni in London because we were going to see much ado about nothing with David Tennant and Catherine Tate. we went up in the morning so we could go to the Tracy emin exhibition. the show was really interesting, however i found videos of her talking about herself and the things she had gone through, and also letters and stories she had written to be more interesting than her normal art. we also went for lunch down at the southbank centre, sat on a giant chair made of grass, looked at little huts full of different types of artlater one we then went to the show. it was so funny. i have not laughed that much in such a long time! i forgot how much i love David Tennant! it was just brilliant. after the show, we went to the stage door maybe hoping to see them...but when we got round the back of the building there was a giant crowd. so many people. i pushed a little and got my programme in the air, they both signed it. however once these girls in front of me got a photo with David, and another woman gave him tuna sandwiches...yeah..i said tuna sandwiches, they moved out the way he had gone past, so i didn't get to meet him, which sucks so bad, but got to meet Catherine and she was lovely. there were so many people behind me that didn't get anything, so both of their autographs and the fact i got to meet Catherine was very good. i know deep down, the only time i think i might get to meet him will be when hes very old and grey at a convention. haha. you have to dream don't you?he day after we went for a cupcake at the hummingbird bakery, which was so cute. then we went shopping in Camden. i had such a lovely time with Claire.i got a cute necklace from Camden, and some crazy socks. while i was away i also got some mail from Amy. it was all so very cute! lots of wonderful stickers, and little bits and pieces.
