Once again, sorry for not posting often, but there are really only 2 SUPER exciting things that have happened in the past two weeks, so I decided to put them in the same post and make it a SUPER exciting post...
I have never ever been in the same room as a famous person (except Brad Womack, the Bachelor), even though I live in Austin where literally EVERY FAMOUS person lives. Last Friday, Amanda and I and our two friends Danielle and Ashley found out that Liam Payne (One Direction) and possibly the rest of One Direction was going to be at this club in London, so obviously we HAD to go. We put ourselves on the guest list and went. When we first got there we saw Tom Daley (Olympic Bronze medalist in diving), but he was in the VIP section so we couldn't talk to him :(. It took a while for Liam to get there, but he did eventually. Amanda and I were standing by the stairs because our feet were hurting and we weren't really paying attention and Liam walked by, Amanda didn't notice, but I did and my jaw hit the floor, I completely froze and couldn't say anything. Amanda asked what happened and I told her that Liam had just walked by. It's really weird seeing someone in person that you've only seen in pictures and videos. So we waited by the stairs for a few more minutes and he walked by again with a few of his friends and I grabbed his arm to try to say something but I think he thought it was one of his friends so he kept walking...so technically I didn't meet him but still, I touched him. You can all think I'm crazy if you want but it was pretty cool. And then I left because I had been sick all week and wasn't feeling well, but the other girls stayed and ended up dancing in the same group as Liam and Louis (Louis showed up after I left) and a few other people for a bit. And when they were leaving Liam walked by Amanda, put his hand on her back and said, "Excuse me darling." I AM SO JEALOUS. But all in all it was a good night.
So there's SUPER exciting night number one, I'll tell you about night number two it a minute. My last post was about things I've learned while here, and this is about another very important thing I learned. On Thursday night one of our friends put a bunch of us on the guest list for this place called Proud in Camden and we ended up getting a free table because there were so many of us, which is pretty cool because you usually have to pay a lot of money for a table. So we were all walking to Proud and this one girl and I had already crossed the street and our backs were turned to the rest of the group and we heard this noise. I turned around and one of the guys was laying on the street in front of a car. Don't worry he got right up and is completely fine. But it was terrifying. So lesson definitely learned: ALWAYS LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET, or always look right first instead of left since they drive on the left side of the road here. We ended up finally getting to Proud and it was a lot of fun, it's in this place that looks like an old stable so it was really cool. I also witnessed my first real live fist fight that happened right next to me that night. Even got some blood on my hand...ew. But it ended up being a fun time. The next night, Friday, ended up being pretty low key and we just went to a pub, but I now know how to properly play darts. It's really difficult.
Okay so now on to SUPER exciting night number two, last night. So there are these two really cute, British twins, Jack and Finn, that are very popular on YouTube, and they had tweeted that they were going to be at Funky Buddha on Saturday night (same club as Liam was at last week). So Amanda and I put ourselves on the guest list again and went. There were a lot of YouTubers there and it was a lot of fun, but we were too scared to go talk to Jack and Finn, but we finally got the guts to talk to them and when they walked by I walked straight up to Jack and grabbed him by the shoulders and said, "We have seen some of your YouTube videos and we think y'all are really funny." It was the best I could come up with in the moment okay. But it worked, they both chuckled and thanked us and kept talking to us. Obviously we weren't British so they asked where we were from. So we told them we were from Texas to which they responded, "TEXAAAASS. Cool!" Then Finn asked for our names. Jack asked how old we were, and then they told us they were going to go dance and that it was nice to meet us. They were really very nice, they smiled the whole time and seemed genuinely glad to meet us.
So there are my famous people encounters, hopefully there will be more soon! Haha
