THIS IS A ONE DIRECTION EXPERIENCE POST!
FEEL FREE NOT TO READ ABOUT HOW I WILL FANGIRL OVER (almost) ANY BUBBLEGUM POP BOYBAND….
*****shout out to Astrid for introducing me to 1D*****
like i said a few days ago, One Direction was at the Mall Of America to do a signing, not sing, not talk just sign. in order to be one of the 1000 fans to get a cd signed you had to have a wristband, which were given out a week earlier (which were also gone within an hour)
so my plan was to go to the mall insanely earlier just to have a good spot to watch them. then Stephanie posted that picture and i thought nope, not happening. i ended up getting to the mall at 8am and there were already a good 600 fans inline with wristbands, the second floor was packed with people waiting just to watch and the third floor was close to being filled. i went right to the 3rd floor and started to wait it out. they were scheduled to arrive at 1pm. around 9am a girl and her mom sit down next to me. about 15 minutes later another girl comes up and my day got SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER….
girl: (to the mom and daughter) do you have the One Direction cd?
no answer.
girl: do you want a wristband?
me: I DO, ILL PAY YOU!
girl: well do you have the cd, cause you need it to get in line.
me: yes, i have it with me! (i start to dig in my bag trying to find it)
girl: oh, here you go then! you can have this we had an extra one.
me: (drops everything) are you serious? i can just have it? seriously?
girl: yeah…
I then proceed to give the biggest hug to a complete stranger and try to dry my eyes before any real tears fall.
me: oh my god, this is amazing!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, JKFDHBLS;OIJFPF’DJNSC!!! THANK YOU.
7 hours later, which actually felt like several days in the longest line of my life I, coreana louise williamson fairbanks got to meet One Direction. and it was perfect. i mean perfect in the meet and greet sense that it went way to fast with far too many people telling you A. move along B. no pictures C. keep going D. put your camera, phone away and E. Okay, you gotta keep moving…
Liam: Hi, thanks for coming out. High Five. Louis: he was drinking a smoothy so i just got a high five. Zayn: he went to give me a high five but i just held out my hand and he grabbed it and i put my other hand on top of his. (yay awkward hand holds) then said: Zayn i am in love with you. because that isnt embarrassing or weird. he then WINKS at me and says i love ya too. i asked him to draw a heart around his face on my cd and he was like yeah, but i dont know which is yours. i point to it and say that one. at this point everyone is telling me to keep going so i quick high five Harry and realize that Louis still has my cd and is taking FOREVER to sign it. so while im standing in front of Niall and get a high five the security guard is like take your cd and go. but my cd was now with Zayn. i was just standing off to the side waiting when Zayn shouts over to me, I DID IT, I drew a heart for you! another WINK. basically i fell in love with Zayn and high fived all of 1D. oh, Louis had my cd forever because he was drawing Harry Potter on Niall.
i’ve had a nights rest to think this over and i still freak out, not over meeting the band but that out of hundreds and hundreds of girls in the mall who didnt have a wristband that girl went to the third floor and found me. because of her act of kindness i was able to meet these boys who put me in a happy gitty “i am 14 years old again” type of mood. im glad i bear hugged her.
