its about 1:50am, but i'm too scared to go to sleep because i am in a very very VERY rare studying mood.. it is so hard for me to step into this mood and the last thing i want is to pass it up when i've finally found it. but the problem is that it is 2 am and i should be asleep. and i am tired. but i'm also motivated to learn. and when i wake up in the morning, i won't be motivated to learn. i'll be motivated to make wallpapers. this orlando thing has really thrown me off... but it's finals week. i have to do this. it's worth it... i guess i'll just stay up until my contacts stick permanently to my eyeballs and my vision turns so hazy that i just can't continue.

This is a full account of all my dealings on Dec. 3rd 2003.
Woke up @ 5:30--got ready to travel and loaded up my bus that had a full tank of gas. Along with my backpack full of homework, I also brought Corazon, my stalking outfit, the Silmarillion and food. Got onto the freeway @ 7:00am. Traffic was semi-light but the dense fog kinda freaked me out. Then about half way I needed to pee--and my back started to hurt like crazy. But I kept thinking the next exit would be the one I needed to exit on--and there was traffic and I didnt want to have to deal with it more than I had to.
Then I got to UCLA and it made me feel small. And I was lost for like an HOUR bc the maps they give you are so TINY and confusing. So by the time I saw sonya I was throughly annoyed and I swear my bladder was gonna explode. I met sonyas roomates which was nice, and I saw her room and stuff which was pretty cool. We ate some shepards pie among other things and went down to the theatre. Man, sonya totally underestimated the fanbase for LOTR. We went to the end of the line and tried to find out info on what was going on. Basically, we stood in line for this patio area of starbucks which they would later clear out which was RIGHT NEXT to the entrance of the theatre--see sonyas pictures to understand what I'm talking about. Anyway, we talked to some girls in front of us--and I spoke to a boy with blond hair behind us. I think that was probably the best thing I did all day. Sonya decided that she wasnt gonna go to class... but she needed some stuff from her room. SO we ask the girls to watch our stuff and started the freaking HIKE back to sonyas room. Blah blah blah but when we get back to the line---the girls are no where to be found, the line has moved up and our stuff is just on the ground. BASTARDS!! If I didnt take my cell and my wallet, someone could have just jacked everything from me--and I cant believe they just left our stuff there....hello!??! Isnt it just common curtesy to look out for it?? I HATE PEOPLE.
Anyway, we find the boy with blonde hair and ask him if we can have our spots back---WHAT A NICE MAN!! He lets us stand with his family..and as the hours go by they befriend us. ANd to make a long story a little shorter, sonya and I spent $5 each @ starbucks to get these little tickets to stand in the patio beside the theatre. We were the last ones and I KNOW the people behind us all wanted to kill us.
So after hours of waiting, people started to show up--see sonyas pics for list of celebs. But like the stars of the LOTR would come out and go across the street to the fans (John, Billy, Orlando) while some wouldnt (Dom, Lij) but whatever---no one was coming to OUR SIDE. Orlando stepped out the limo and I just about peed in my pants!! He is so beautiful--no picture does him justice....oh my, what a lover!! But that was okay bc we could get closeups when they went inside. Blah blah blah---everyone is running late so they rush all the stars in @ like 740 but decide to make them walk behind this little TENT THINGY so pretty much none of us got any good pics. I WAS SOOO ANGRY....people are horrible. I was seriously on the verge of crying my eyes out. BUT THEN...
They all start coming back out--First Ian McKellen.... then the gorgeous man himself, Orlando!! And he sees us and crosses the red ropes to sign all this stuff--see sonyas pics--and I'm just frantically taking pictures. Then he comes to the another side of our area and somehow sonya and I are like towards the front, and I dont really know whats going on...bc as much as I saw him IN FLESH before, he was seriously like a foot away...oh my god is this real?? is this really happening?? and SHIT i dont have anything for him to sign bc my backpack was somewhere else....but he kept moving down the line and oh god... he was right there. I didnt know what else to do so I just reached out and started to harass his arm...then his hand. OH MAN...then he just reaches for my hand, squeezes it, and holds it for a breath before letting go. I swear I could have died right then.
He was seriously the nicest one bc he went to all the fans and stayed with them the longest. He just seemed so GENUINE---I love this man. I heard him talk in his accent too!! WHAT A LOVER. i dont need a husband, I just want to meet orli like once each year and I'll be fine. If not, can i have a lover like him?? As sonya said, he is the pefect specimen of a lover man. Honestly. And after tonight, I know that I'll have to find this man again. Just when I thought I was getting screwed over again....this beautiful man---this ray of hope---just comes and makes everything wonderful. Oh man... I love love love him!!
I also know that despite the superficialness of it all, I want to somehow be a part of that whole world.
I will so remember this one night forever...and driving home I saw a shooting star. Life is so beautiful.
