Faye's GIF Diary

[Eleanor "Jamika" Treehorn]

'Ello everyone! c:

This is a random thread that I decided to make so that whenever I wanted to share a funny story, I can write it here and express it through the power of REACTION GIFS! *W*

Some entries might have a hundred gifs, some might not have any gifs at all, but one thing's for certain: if your computer can't take loading a bunch of gifs and/or graphics at once, then this thread might kill your computer. So, sorry if it does u-u if it's any consolation, you won't be missing anything much, since it's all going to be rambles and fangirling nonsense lol.

Buuuuuuut, yeah =u= I tackle any excuse to try and use a reaction gif, so this is my excuse to unleash my pent-up desires. (Heheh.) So you can expect some "diary entries" soon! Hopefully you'll have as much fun reading them as I do writing them out c:

Peace!

The Day I Met My Celebrity Crush.

So.

I have a crush on a celebrity that’s… kind of… unique in the sense that he’s not really a celebrity, and that I only developed my crush after I got to know him. So it’s not really like a “celebrity crush” more than it is a “crush I have for a guy that I actually kind of know and got to meet because he’s written some awesome stuff and who was open to the idea of me working at the place he’s employed in so that I could be an intern and then in turn have a crush on a possible employer and/or boss.”

So yeah it’s kind of complicated for me. ANYWAYS!~

For the sake of making this story easier to follow, let’s call this guy Jon. I had met him in person at a convention about a year ago, which was literally the greatest convention I had gone to. Not many knew about it, so it was tiny and the entry fee was, like, 12 bucks for both days, and my god was it like the diamond in the rough. It had so many things and so many people and I got to meet so many stars that I look up to. So there was no doubt about whether I’d go or not this year, regardless if the panel of people that had Jon in it was going to be there or not.

But, to my luck, they were!

So, this is my story.

~ ~ ~

Jon had mentioned in his writings that he was an uberfan of this old, not very well known band. A month prior to the convention, I was at an awesome bookstore that actually sold a couple of CD’s for a buck each, so I decided to get some. Then when the convention started to roll near and I heard that the group Jon was in was planning on coming again…



I thought I’d give away one of the CD’s as a gift to him, partly because I wanted to apologize for never following up on this internship opportunity that we had lightly talked about, partly because I thought it’d be a nice gesture to a guy I looked up to and partly because I wanted to do a cliché fan thing and give something he really liked and okay yeah because I like him shuddup.

So when I got there, I made line for their panel, but was kind of worried because the line was so freakin’ long, and I was already expecting to be turned away.



But fortunately, I underestimated the size of the room and it was FREAKIN’ HUGE and everyone in the line was able to go in. So us at the back in the line were all like



So we sat down and I chatted with a Dr. Who cosplayer who sat beside me until the panelists came in and everyone went WILD.



The panel was AWESOME and everyone was laughing the whole way.



When it was finally over, I walked right over their table with the CD in hand, but then I saw them all get up and file out of the room. So I was like



But it turned out that they were still going to stick around for autographs or something so I was beyond relieved.



So I made line (well, it was more like a blob) to meet Jon again, though some other people from the panel were already leaving, so I knew I had a limited time. So I tried to make my way forward until I was blocked by a bickering couple who I don’t even think wanted a picture with Jon at all and were just standing there. So I was like “Oh my freakin’ god get out of the way already.”



But when they moved out of the way and I realized it was my turn I was like



But I calmed down, put on my confidence pants, quickly went over what I was going to say in my head and stepped forward. Once he made eye contact me, I was like “Hi!”



And then I was going to say more and mention that he probably didn’t remember me, but I was a fan, and yadda yadda, etc., etc, all explained like the flustered nerd that I am.



Until suddenly he was like “Oh my god, HI!!”



And then my brain was like



until it skyrocketed to



But I tried to keep my cool, so I was like “O-oh! So you do remember me.” Even though I probably still looked kind of giddy and excited



While my brain was still like



So when we stopped hugging I told him about how the whole internship plan never panned out, but that I wanted to thank him, so I handed over the CD (the one I thought he had already) and saw him go



because he actually didn’t have it. Which in turn made me go all



inside from seeing him be happy. So he thanked me and then WE HUGGED AGAIN



and then we just waved to each other and I walked away with a smile on my face.



But of course when I turned the corner and they weren’t able to see me anymore I was like







(okay I didn’t faint but STILL)

SOOOOOOO yeah. C: That was pretty much the highlight of my convention. And whenever I feel a bit “bleh” I think about that day and it always makes me feel better.
