Hey guys!
Soo today Jack and Finn went back home to England, rigghhhht? And they were just in South Africa for the weekend but on a very rural, remote area so they didn't really do meet-ups or anything, and I couldn't get to the airport when they arrived 'cause you know... Education and stuff... buuuutt I was at the airport when they left today. We stood from 4pm until 7:30pm and nothing, absolutely nothing. I was devastated, but I was still thankful to Christina for taking me, and I couldn't expect her mom to wait forever...
And then by some miracle... As we were leaving i saw someone in a gray hoodie walking towards the boarding gates carrying some dinky little skateboard type thing... And someone holding a camera and someone walking behind in a navy blue shirt, also with a camera...
And then I made eye-contact with Jack Harries and started my fangirling session... We ran up to them and we said our hello's and we waited for Finnegan who was taking his sweet time with his smancy camera and navy blue shirt. The "small talk" (awkward umms and aahs as we're all so nervous and they're embarrassed) began and then my brain decided to shut down and I turned into a rambling oaf making myself look like a three year old with a helium balloon. I started shaking uncontrollably, like I couldn't even stand without my legs shaking... And I decided to blurt out in front of like 5/6 famous Youtubers and 4 other fans "CAN I HUG YOU OR IS THAT WEIRD" and so began my tirade of idiocy... After my extensively long hug with Jack which was awkward ('cause I could hear and feel him laughing) and innapropriate... You know, I had just turned myself into the Youtuber laughing stock and here I am not letting go of Jack for like 15 seconds... Oops? I don't really care, it was unbelievable... And he smells good. Yes, I said it, he smells amazing.
I then further continued to embarrass myself by deciding that through the crowd was the best way to get to Finn and shoved past and nearly knocked the poor man down in trying to hug him because... fangirling... Then the usual "what's your name, where you from, how old are you etc etc etc" began and I decided this meant they wanted to know my life story... So I rambled on to nobody in particular...
Then came the photos. Now we'd already taken one picture where I was next to Jack and that was great, but now I managed to get on the other side next to Finn... (No complaints here...) but I was shaking like a leaf... Which I mentioned to them on more than one occasion because my malfunctioning brain decided they cared, right...? And in trying to calm myself down I realized YOU'RE STANDING NEXT TO FINN HARRIES and then I stood quivering. Because all people start having mental breakdowns in front of celebrities right. Finn looked down at me (yes, down, he's SO tall!) and said "whoever is shaking, please stop." I GOT REPRIMANDED BY FINN HARRIES AND I DON'T EVEN MIND!! After the photo's they signed some pictures and so on, and then I showed them the drawing I did of them and now I regret it so much... They were going on about how good it was but the one face is so messed up! I'm pretty sure Finn thinks I have issues, he asked me who I thought he was (in the picture) and like the dodo I am, I decided to actually give my opinion and got it completely wrong... Double yay... We started dispersing and we said our goodbyes and I totally hugged them again.... :D
We started walking away to get something to drink after three straight hours of standing and adrenaline when we found... MAOAMS!! Now anyone who knows their videos at all, knows about their passion for Maoams.. So naturally we got two bags and ran bag to where they had congregated. As we stopped, Christina held the two bags out and handed one to Finn and one to Jack... Finn just laughed and said we were insane and Jack did the cutest little dance ever and we departed once more... Before we left my brain was like "oh, you thought I was better did you? Think again lady." AND I TURNED AROUND, MADE A LITTLE HEART WITH MY HANDS AND YELLED "BYEEE, LOVE YOU!" What. The. Heck. Brain?
I told them I loved them and walked away... I'm beginning to agree with Finn, I am delusional aren't I... While in the car on the way back I was an emotional wreck :$ I just sat Tweeting people and stuff.. And then the unbelievable happened. FINN FAVOURITED MY TWEET. The actual Finn, Finnegan Harries favourited my tweet about meeting them and the Maoams.
Yes.
Guys, I don't think it's describable what this evening meant to me, they're my role models and I was always so pessimistic about meeting them... And there I stood, hugging Jack Harries and telling Finn what my name was... This night was incredible... I don't even know what to say or how to end this off... Jack and Finn, as unlikely as it is,if you ever read this, I hope you realize the impact you made on a 15 year old girls' life tonight and that one day I might be able to meet you again and I won't be a shaking, rambling fool... Thank you for changing my life... And I yelled it in hysteria this evening, but really, I do love you boys and you have changed my life...
Please come back to South Africa one day, you impact lives that you don't even realize you impact on. We may not be your majority, or even feature in your top countries for fan-bases, but we're dedicated fans and we want to see you here again...
Thank again, we love you xx
Thanks for enduring my odd rumblings guys, all the usual please, follow, comment, add me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr etc, I will follow back... Thanks guys, enjoy your week <3 love you xx
