So. The next day we tryyy to wake up early because they want to go to a/the hotel to see if we can meet JB or anyone, but we don't wake up as early as planned, haha. Kasey's friend Stephanie joins us all!! (From here on out, at least till after Ft Lauderdale, it's the 5 of us<33)
So once we're all ready, we leave to have breakfast with Kasey's dad at the little restaurant where she works! The food was soooo good<33
So then we leave to Tampa to check hotels!
(^Me, Amanda, and Sam!)
We check the hotel (where JB stayed last year and Demi always stays), passed by the Marriott, ect. Nothing.
Honor Society was having an instore that day at 2, and I really wanted to go (Still gotta show them my tat!) but Kasey and them had soundcheck. So then we figured Kasey could just drop me off, and then I asked Hannah if I would be able to get a ride back to the venue with them and they said sure!
It was still a bit early, so Kasey and I decide to park the car (in her free VIP parking thing), and take a nap for a while, heehee. We took pictures to document our spontaneous slumber. Oh, and did I mention we only got like 3 hours of sleep maybe the night before? Because we did. hahahaha.
So we try and nap for a bit.
I wake up cause I REALLYYY have to go to the bathroom, and plus we have to go take Sam her stuff. But I REALLY had to go so that was all I cared about, LOL!
So we ask the parking people that if we leave if we'd be able to come back. They say no.
Uh... D:
So I guess we can't go to the instore?? DDDD:
Well anyways, bathroom.
I enter this like office thing in the venue, and ask if I can use the bathroom, but the lady is really sweet but says that security made them not let anyoneee use the restrooms. Ugh ugh ugh.
She tells me that the onlyyy ones for use right now are at the hotels. Meaning. Down the block. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
So I start walking towards them (Kasey and I had split up when we left the car so she could go take Sam her stuff.)
I walk down the block, and the Embassy Suites are literally RIGHT in front of me... but for some reason beyond my control I chose to walk ALLLL the way (diagonally and farish) across the street to the Marriott?? Wut da.
So I seriously don't know why I went there.
I walk in, and there's girls there, so I'm like... oh. Maybe they all think JB is there or something?
Anyways. I ask this group of girls (they seemed nice) where the bathroom is. They were really nice. hahaha
So as I walk towards the bathroom, you have to pass the Starbucks, and I noticed two roadies from the tour. I was like omg the work for Honor Society! But I didn't know if they worked SPECIFICALLY for HS, or if they're just on the tour. Either way I've seen them around HS a lot.
So I was like hm. Interesting. And then I go to the bathroom (FINALLY ahahah)
I walk out of the bathroom.... And there is Mr. Andrew Lee from Honor Society talking to those same roadie guys (I know one of their names is Doug, haha).
Wut da.......?!
So as soon as I spot him he sees me, and we wave, and then he motions for me to go over to him. He's like heyyy how are ya! And I'm like hey Andy!!
We hug, and then he goes "Alright, let's see it" and points to my foot before I even mentioned it, LOL!
I show him and he's like "Thats. Awesome." and asked me if it hurt and such, and then we were saying how he wanted the same one, but how foot tattoos are DEFF NOT for him lmaooo. So it was awesome, I was just chillen there with Andy, Paul, and the other guy. LOL! <33
I forget all that we talked about. Andy asked if I was going to the FMC show the next day, and I told him hopefully, but I don't have a ticket yet. And he was like, "No, don't even worry, it is definitely not going to sell out. Because apparently people started school? And it's at 1pm. Yeah it was some poor planning on someone's part, but yeah, don't even worry because it's NOT close to selling out." Hahaha, alright. And he tells us about how HS is about to start getting radio play REALLY soon, but he couldn't say what song or anything haha.
So then... Kasey comes up to us! (She came to the hotel because she was thirsty ahahah) so then her, me and Andy talk for a bit more :D.
Then Andy says he has to go get his stuff in the room. I ask where the guys are at, and he says that they're in the room right now, but to stick around cause in like 10/15 mins they had lobby call. I told him to tell them that I was waiting to show them my tattoo, and he laughs and says alright. hahaha
So then Kasey and I are there like... did that just happen?? ahaha cause it was SO random.
(Like I said, I seriously have NO IDEA why I went to the Mariott to go to the bathroom. I guess I had a feeling? I really don't know.)
We go over to the lobby, and Alex is there! He was like walking with his bags, and some other girls are like oh, can we get a picture, etc. Then he comes over and is like HEY! and we hug and talkkkk. Show him my tat. It's amazing. Do the most. Amazing. We talk about various things- his day off, fmc shows vs world tour shows, how Ned is prolly in his jamies at the moment, how Hana (Wonder Girl's marketing manager) lovessss Ned, HS getting radio play soon, and then his "cousin" came, and her and him went through the Noyes family history to see if they're related! So basically, we got the WHOLEEE run-down of Alexander Crawford Noyes' family. Legit. Ahahahah.
Oh, and we also talk about getting matching Doin' The Most tattoos! He says we should get 'D' and 'M' on our arms. I go, "Jade, too!! She can get the 'T'! So then we can be 'D' 'T' 'M', Doin the most!!" ahahaha <333 He's like, alright, let's do it! lmao
^Here we are Doin the most. Well, technically, in this picture we are most the doin. LMAOO!
I forget what else we talked about.
Gio was there, too, and we talk to him for a bit. He tells us to buy soda from the vending machines cause it's a lot cheaper haha.
So then we go over and talk to Michaelllll~
We talk about my tattoo, tell him he better appreciate me for it, etc. ahaha. He was like, No, we dooo!!! It's awesome!!
Kasey goes, "Oh Rosie, why don't you take a picture with Bruno since you don't have any!" and Michael was like WHAT?? We don't have any?
Aww<333 So we take oneeeee~
Ned comes up, and I'm like NED LOOK AT MY HONOR SOCIETY TATTOO THAT I GOT!
And he's like "Wait, WHAT?? A tattoo?? A real one??"
And so I go, "Yeah, so you should like, you know, get me free tickets to every HS show? Hahahaha, just kidding. ...sort of LOL!"
and Michael was like dyinggg and then he like imitated me and said really fast "i'mjokingbuti'mnotbuti'mjokingbuti'mnoti'mseriousbuti'mjokingbutifyoureallywannadoittheni'mokaywithitbuti'mjokingbuti'mnot"
LMAOOOO, it was SO funny<33
^Ned and I<3 (and Alex creepin!)
So then Jason comes, and we talk to him. It was funny when he was looking at my tattoo, because first he like stared at it, but then he was like "Wait." and then took off his sunglass, and thennn looked at it. LOL!
In part of our convo he was like, 'You live in LA, right?' or something, and I go yeah, and I tell him that we have to hang out when we're all back there. And he's like totally! And I'm like yeah, we'll spend alll of our time together haha. And he goes, legit, when we are back in LA, we are spending every single second of our lives together- Have you Gaga people call my people and work it out.
LOL! I was like yeah, I'll have my publicist take care of it, and he was like, perfect! xDD <3
So then Gio is like We gotta go! so they all get scooped up and they leave!! Ahahaha.
So, at that point, we didn't care about the Verizon in store going on? LOL!
Kasey and I are there for a bit, but she has to go get her tickets and be in line so she leaves to go back to the venue.
I stick around and hang out/make friends with that really nice group of girls there.
Apparently like everyone besides JB is staying in that same hotel. :DD
After a little bit, Jordin's back up band starts coming down!
I saw them all, but I didn't ask for pictures with them? Wut da. lmao. I don't know.
Butt, I did get pictures with Scotty and Leah! <333
Leah is seriously SOO nice!! <33
Scotty and I had our matching Wonder Girls shirts on haha :D
After that, I hang out with my friends Janna and Jasmine in the hotel lobby! i was so fun and I hope I can hang out with them againnnn~
It was getting late though so I had to go back to the venue so I could get my ticket from Kasey before she went into soundcheck.
I head back, and right when I get there, I spot my bff/life ruiner James!! We chill and hang out for a whileeee. I made friends with the 3 girls who were working for Mike&Ikes that night! They were so much fun lmaooo. Hannah and her mom came! Hannah and I were chillen with James, when he asked us to watch over the Mike&Ikes tent a few times while he went and tried to find the computer, haha. So yeah, Hannah and I got to work for mike and ikes..? LOL!!!
A little while later, the Wonder Girls come out!! They go to the Verizon bus to do their dance! (But not before they all gave me hugs and asked how I was and such! lol<33333)
They taught the dance, and I got it on video. Then Hana asked Hannah and I to pass out some fliers real quick, so we did!
So then once that was done, I said see ya later to the girls, and they left<3
Hung around for a while. Stuffed my face full of apple fries and mike&ikes- you know, the usual. lol
Hannah and I decide to get in line for the Honor Society autograph thing (Why not, right? haha)
We do the Chacha slide, Cupid shuffle, etc, as we wait in line. (The radio disney tent was right next to us... hahaha)
I HAVEE to call Jade and have her talk to Alex. So I get up there, hand him the phone and tell him it's Jade! I say hi to Gio while they talk.
Alex already signed the paper/poster thing, so I picked up the marker and pretended that I was gonna write on it while he was talking, so then he gets it and then writes 'NO DUH' on my thing. haha <33
So then he hands me the phone, and I tell him see ya later! Next is Jason<33
He puts a heart up by the top. I tell him "A heart.? That's it?! >:(" lmaoo, and so he gets it and writes "TO: ROSIEGAGA" aha<33
Then it's Michaellll~ He just writes a heart over his heart, and I go "Really. A heart? Thats it?" and he laughs and is like here, you can have some glitter, too!!! Cause the table had random glitter like all over it, so I was like "OH COOL, I'LL CHERISH IT FOREVER" ahaha. Then it's Andy, and he also just writes a heart. But then he says "If my foot was in the picture, then I'd put the heart on there and write 'no duh'" hahah <33333
(^Ignore my un-nailpolished hand, thanks. haha)
After the HS signing, I wait around because the Wonder Girls were doing that same autograph thing right after.
The girls come out! More hugs. They stand there as they wait for chairs. Sunmi is right next to me. I tell her, "Do you know what my new favorite song is?" and she goes "Hm?" and I start doing SNSD's Genie dance and I go "I'm genie for you're wish!" and she smiles REAL big and gets so excited and mimics my dance moves!! <3333
She asks something like "You like Girls Generation??" and I tell her that Tell Me Your Wish/Genie is the only song I know by them, haha. Then I tell her that the other song I'm obsessed with is Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls and I do the hip swaying thing, and then she's like oh yeah! and she copies the little hip sway thing haha <3333333
So then the girls sit and do their autograph thing :D
After, I say see ya later, and they go back in.
I get my ticket to go in, then I have to go meet Kasey to ticket trade, and then I go to my seat.
I was with Amanda!! <333
We were like 4th row or something right in front of Garbo and Ryan (my FAVORITEEEEE spot) <333333
HS comes on- amazingggggg
WG come on- I do the whole dance like always and people stare, haha. And it was amazing since I was wearing my Wonder Girls shirt (the back says I AM A WONDER GIRL) haha <333
Jordin comes on... omg I love her set so muchhh~ <333
RIGHT after JB come one (Like, 3 minutes after they've been on stage) I leave, as usual, to go help out with the WG m&g.
Go outside, meet up with the FAN*TASTICS, introduce myself, tell them to join the st, Hana comes, I put wristbands on people, she leads everyone inside.
M&G are usually in weird areas of the venue, and that night it was in like a skybox at the VERY top of the arena! So I technically still got to watch the show while I worked the m&g <3
Much Better/I Got A Feelin/Tonight were going on, and during Tonight I got to do the fist-pump with the girls! :DDD
It was funnnn~
So then after everyone met the girls, we (Hana) and I take them back outside, she gets people to help her bring fliers back while I stayed and watched the FAN*TASTICS.
Met up with Brahm the Verizon guy<3333 (He is the first life ruiner, btw.)
Hana comes back with fliers, we distribute them, and then I go back in with her and tell her I'll see her at the m&g after the show!
Then I go back to my seat during... um... World War III I think (which is my FAVEEEEE song they do at the show) so yayy<3
Then I enjoyed the rest of the show!
At a few parts, Amanda and I (and like a bunch of people in our section) would stand on our chairs, LOL! I was nervous about it, but the security guy right there like didn't even care, bahaha.
So at the end, her and I were the only ones left on our chairs, and I was dancing and Ryan thought it was funny that I was on my chair so he like kept pointing and we danced together <333
After, I rushed up the the WG m&g. I passed out fliers for a while. Then Hana asked me to hand out fliers to the people leaving the m&g, so I did that the rest of the time.
It was so much fun interacting to the girls cause we always dance to each other <333
At the end, I went and got a picture with the girls :D
I had told Yoobin during the m&g that I was tired, so she was like "Make sure to get a lot of sleep tonight!!" <333 awwww Yoobin is always looking out for me and I love her so much.
And they told me thank you for everythingggg (they always tell me. They are UNBELIEVABLY sweet omg <3333333) And they said "Rosie, you're our hero!!!!!"
OMG!! I go "Nooo, you guys are MY heroes!!!!!!"
<333
So we take our pic
and then I tell them that I will see them tomorrow <33
So then I mosey my way over to the HS m&g!
It was almost over.
I go to talk to Kat, when the guard stops me (they were clearing all the last few people out) and I started to explain myself when he was like "Oh wait, sorry! I didn't see your credentials" (talking about my badge thingies, LOL!)
So then I talk to Kattttt, and I tell her how I was nervous that someone was going to step on my foot that night, etc. hahaha.
So then the guys get up to leave. Jason comes and is like "How's your foot?" (Um... you just saw it earlier? LOL!) and I tell him it's finee.
We hugggg, and I tell him see ya tomorrow!
Andy is next, but him, Michael and Alex kind of gather around me at the same time. So like I sort of hug Andy, then Michael is there and we start to hug but Alex is there too so I kind of have to hug them both? (Um, my dream come true? <333333333) So then Michael is like "Was that even a hug??" and I am like so tired so I was just like "Idunno... but I'll see you tomorrow so we'll just hug again then." and he's like "Perfect" haha :D <333
Give Gio a high five and say bye, and then Ned comes and I go "BYE NED!!" and he's like bye, see you later! and I go "No, see you tomorrow!!" and he was like "OH, okay!" bahahaha.
So then Kat and Janice are there, and I'm like "Can I have one of those signed posters? I have the other ones but not that one. I'm trying to collect like all the random stuff from this tour, haha"
and Kat is like "Yeah sure. Ha, do you want these, too?" and they were like there weird random pictures I guess fans gave to the guys and they were of a m&g but like all it was was backs and such? And we were laughing that they were like wannabe paparazzi pictures haha. So I take a poster thing and say bye to Kat and Janice and leaveeee~
I meet back up with Kasey, Amanda, Sam, and Steph and we get in the car (which was in the VIP parking lot)
Then we realize..... Clifford is RIGHT by us. LOL!!
We decide to wait and follow it, since we're all going the same place (Ft Lauderdale)
We see Michael, Andy and Jason come out to the bus, but not Alex yet.
We wait and wait, but everyone is just like hanging out in the bus and we want to leave.
So we go and as soon as we start driving, the Wonder Girls' bus is RIGHT there. LOLOL!!!
So we drove behind it on the highway for a whileee hahaha. <333
But then we need gas.
The bus starts pulling over where we were going to pull over...?
And they stop at a gas station... and we stop at that gas station...?
So we're there at a random gas station with the Wonder Girls' tour bus and the Apple Fries semi truck? OMG!! LOL!!!! SO CREEPY/FUNNY/COOL/EXCITING.
We get out and Ayumi goes into the store part, too! (Ayumi is the lady who does the Wonder Girls' hair!)
We say hi haha <33
and then their other managers and such come out, so I say hi to Amanda and Ho!
But then Woo comes out!! He's my favorite lololol
So I go over and give him a hug!
He was like "Hiii!!! Where are you guys going??"
And I'm like "...same place you are?" lol!
and he was like "Hahaha, really??"
uh, yes?? LOLOL!!!! (the gas station was like out in nowhere... where else would we be going lmaooooo)
So we say bye and he tells us to have a save drive <3
So then we decide to leave and hit the road again, because it would've been really creepy to stay and wait until they left so we could follow them again, LOL!!
We left Tampa at like 12:20-ish, and it was about a four hour drive, and so we didn't get to the hotel in Ft Lauderdale until almost 5am :OO
Amanda, Sam and Steph slept most of the way while I kept Kasey awake as she drove.
Oh, and there was like a HUGEEEE storm we had to drive through for a while. Like we could NOTT see in front of us because it was raining so hard, and all the thunder and lightning... omg scary D:
But yeah, so we got to the hotel and then just passed outtt~ :3
:D
So that was Tampa!
My next entry will be about the FMC show in Ft Lauderdale and then the JB show there, too! Stay tuned to it :D
Oh, and I have allll my pics on facebook, so you can add me and check them out there!
