Berlin 05.05.08
5 amI barely even slept the night before, and nerves that I woke up at around 5am, because of all the birds singing wildly outside. I'd told Nikki I'd leave at 9am, but since I woke up so early and there's pretty much fuck-all to do at that time, I left earlier. About 8, I think.
Well, driving, driving, all the bloody way to Belgium. It's fun, I looove driving, and that morning was lovely. Dawn, dew and d-something... (Aww, I was going so nicely with the flow). After about an hour I finally woke up enough to put on my iPod, and started listening to some music. By that time I was already half-way through Holland, on my way South to Nikki's house in Belgium.
When I got to Belgium, I sent Nikki a text saying something like "I'm a bit earlier, sorry, I'll be there in about an hour or something.". She texted me back saying it was ok, and that I had to take exit 22 and not forget this time! So I texted back "Are you sure it's not 21 to Lille?" And she was something like "Huh, no, just the 22.". XD
Not a good idea to listen to Nikki. She's been telling me that ever since she told me NOT to wear my signed wristband to Norwich, and then Tim came out, and all I really ever wanted to do with my signed wristband is for him to sign it!! (before he leaves, you see). I need Timmy... Anyway, there was other stuff as well that I really can't remember right now, but basically, I still listen to Nikki, even though I should know better by now.
Anyways... There was no ''exit 22'' and I called Nikki going I'M LOST I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM.
Finally... After like 20 minutes of driving back and forth through Belgium, I found the 21 to Lille and Herentals, and went there, deciding to ignore Nikki's 'advice'. I found it

And we had hugs and fun and guitar playing and everything.
Angel arrived about 2 hours later, and we had tons of fun. Just some girly giggles and everything.
5:30The next morning, we had to get up at 5:30. I actually slept like a BABY that night, but Nikki and Angel didn't. I remember vaguely that Nikki woke up in the middle of the night, and it woke me up a little, but not that much. Apparently I had stolen the entire blanket away from Angel, hahaha, and she was angry with me afterwards. I said "JUST STEAL IT BACK"... But she claimed to be too nice for that.
In the car we listened to some The Fantasy acoustic, and when we arrived at Wendy's place, we FINALLY got it without bursting out in laughter, XD. I think that was because all of us were still so tired from everything... Didn't have the energy to laugh.
We arrived, had some chats, took toilet breaks, put everything in Wendy's car, and off we went to Germany, a 7 hour drive ahead of us.
Angel and I slept most the time, I think...
Then there's a huge gap. Oh yeah! We couldn't find the entrance to our hostel, after having met some German Echelon at the hostel. We were looking and looking and even ended up opening a supplies closet. In the end, it was of course Occam's Razor. The simplest solution is usually correct. It was the door with the cross shaped duck tape on it. xD Well, we entered, 4 girls one blushing guy behind the counter. It was so cute I ended up flirting with him time and time again. XD
We waited for Jana, she finally arrived, and there it was. 5 girls, one 4 bed bedroom. ;D
We went sightseeing. I don't remember much... Just searching endlessly for some things, all our feet hurting and going to that Angel tower thing. In the tunnels we SCREAMED/sang Attack, and probably scared people away. XD Including ourselves.
Back @ hostel. Etc. Showers, sleep, etc.
4 am3 mobile phones had to go off before I realised we had to get up. People slowly disappeared places, and we had to get stuff, get hair + make-up done and then off to the venue.
Where, at 5am in the frickin' morning, about 30 people already were waiting. Some from the night before, some from the DAY before. It was scary. Jenny was asleep, Elisia was also there. There was Monica, I believe, with a TIM KELLEHER BANNER! *woohoo* (uploads pictures later)
Erm... Shit happened, then it was time to push through and run for the front row!
That did not happen. Nikki and I ended up on 3rd row. Behind someone with a backpack. Who was taken out soon enough, because I needed something to hang on to. Sorry, but don't bring a backpack to a concert.
Nikki said she couldn't hang in there anymore. It was sad, because I for a change COULD and we were right in front of Tim. Who was going mad, looked fucking sexy and well, it was a Tim gig this one. Well, I followed right after Nikki. I had to. When Nikki was taken out I decided to literally HEAVE her up by her leg, and that took so much energy I could've fainted right there. I shouted stuff like ''I'M NOT WEARING TROUSERS, YOU CANNOT PULL AT THAT'' at the security guy who tried to lift ME out of the crowd (which is a horror, btw, there's no way you get out of there.). AGAIN DURING BLOODY FROM YESTERDAY (it's a curse, I tell you.). I'm sure Tim saw me with my skirt up my neck, but I hope he didn't. I fucking tripped on my way over to Nikki, in front of tons of Echelon that I knew, and I couldn't look at them. I could NOT. xD The security guy stepped onto my leg warmer... So I nearly fell flat-out, face first, onto the floor. (trinity tour asks for trinity letter jokes. 3rd one so far, I believe . This one has one extra, because the previous had only 2).
Anyways... I felt then that I had like... No saliva left. I watched Tim a bit, then ordered a diet coke and a red bull. It took about 3 hours for that stupid bitch to get my order, then another 5 hours for her to get our drinks. But, watching Tim from the side was alright too.
We got our drinks, tried standing several places, then went up onto the balcony. Where we got a fucking good spot!!
It was so nice, Nikki and I went crazy, I got all teary eyed during The Story and Nikki had that with The Kill acoustic. We got Under Pressure, which was a fucking nice addition.
Tim blasted something apart. XD Looong acoustic session. THANKS TIM.
Um...
Signing lineYAY. There was going to be a signing line. We waited, and waited, and waited. I saw random flashes (Wtf no screams?) and I was all like ''oh, the guys are here''. Very dry and sarcastic. Like how I always get after concerts (What is UP with that?). Jared was wearing a silly hat, Shannon was wearing a sexy jacket, and Tomo. Well, he still had his sexy hair.
I held out my arm, as in, sign my arm please, but I also had my second red wristband around my wrist. Shannon tore my arm towards him, and nearly signed my wristband, and I went all hysterically high ''NO NO NO NO NO NO'' and he seriously struggled to not sign it. It was too cutesy. XD He then placed a HUGE autograph on my arm. Thanks mate. Really.
Tomo, for once, I said something to. Instead of just Shannon, being pushed over to Tomo while I'm still saying stuff to Shannon, then before I can realise Tomo's signing my stuff I'm already in front of Jared. But nooo, not this time, hahahaha! This time, I said: "You were great on stage, going crazy!" twirling my finger and everything. He sort of looked at me weird, went "I was? Yeah, actually, I AM crazy!"
Jared. Well, he just very tranquil and serene like signed my arm in silence. I don't know if it's that effect that he has on people that made the moment so serene, or that it was something else, but it happened and it was nice. He then looked up at me under that way-too-low hat of his, and mouthed ''Thank you.'' In a very sincere way. I then, was so taken aback by his utter cutesy-ness, that I mouthed ''thank you too'' in a very childish-mockingly type way. I didn't mean that. It just happened. XD That's what you get for acting like a wise child with me, Mr Leto! *shakes finger*. Buuut, needless to say, God was watching, and I got punished immediately. I wanted to walk away, and the barrier was placed in such a way that I TRIPPED. It was like, signing table, pillar, foot-of-barrier. BEHIND Mr Pillar. Sort of sticking out its foot when you weren't looking xD. Split seconds AFTER Jared turned his head, I THINK. WHAT THE FUCK. I just thought to myself OH MY GOD THAT IS LIKE THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING YOU COULD DO IN FRONT OF A CELEBRITY. He didn't see me, though, so that's good. And if it hadn't made me feel like a fangirl so much during, I would've seriously found it funny then. But I do now... So cliché I actually like it. So delightfully cheesy, I can't help but enjoy that it was ME who did it. (*whispers* and Nikki, but hey, that's up to her to tell you). I hate cliché and cheesy, but my God this was just too funny. Like a British sitcom. Or American. Depends on how you bring it. XD *licks lips* Delicious.
We went outside afterwards, to find Angel and Elisia in bitter tears. I hugged the both of them forever, feeling fuck-sorry for them. It sucked so bad.
Oh... Hello, that was it. Off to Hamburg immediately afterwards. Bye to Elisia and hello to sleeping in the car.
