My 1D Adventure
So it all started March 10th. My friends and I were planning on camping out at the palisades mall and were so excited. Sadly two of them werent allowed to so it left me and my best friend Sarah. Around 4 one of my friends called and said people were arriving and we should get there quickly but of course we didn’t have a ride to 8 so we started freaking out thinking we wouldn’t make it. Then we came to our senses that we would and packed our bags to camp out. Finally 8 rolled around and we headed to the mall and we sprinted to the end of the line. We were 123 and 124 in line and started to cry cause we knew we’d get wristbands. The whole night we talked to people and made friends and just all fangirled over the boys and it was amazing. After waiting 15 hours we left the mall with the CD, wristbands and poster and we started to cry again. I only had an hour of sleep so I got home slept 2 hours then stayed up till 10:30 and slept 4 hours. I woke up at 2 AM and quickly got ready where my mom and I drove down to the Today Show to meet up with my twitter friend for the boys. We had fan passes but didn’t get that close until in the middle of the performances where we pushed our way close. The boys did flawless and it was so much fun. After it ended my friend and I tried to convince our parents to let us go to the hotel but they wouldn’t let us so we left. Tuesday came now and the whole school day was a blur. When the last period bell rang Sarah and I ran to her moms car and we drove to the mall. Getting on line around 3 we were in the 4th section and that was the longest one. After 2 hours we got to the line and before we went up I turned to Sarah and was like “I’m gonna ask Zayn if hes DTF” and she was like “sure you are.” She made me go first so I went up to Harry and was like “Hey Harry” and he looked up smiling and gave me a high five really hard..my hand was red after it lol but anyway. So then my friend went up and gave him a high five telling him his eyes were beautiful and he complimented her back saying he loved her eyes also. Next was Zayn and I gave him a high five and this was were I blurted everything out. It went like this…
Me: Zayn people wanna know if you are DTF.
Zayn: What? What is that? I don’t know what it means!
Harry: *Laughing*
Me: It means down to fuck!
Zayn: Oh *smiling big* Well who wants to know!
Me: I don’t know! People!
Sarah: She really wants to know *Pointing at me*
Zayn: Oh really? *looks at me* Yeah I am!
So after that I moved down to Niall telling him he was beautiful and we gave each other I high five. Next was Louis and oh my god I stood there shouting his name till he looked up and I was just like “Hi. I like your butt” then I just started laughing and he probably thinks I’m weird but he just got all happy and said “Thanks babe!” With Liam I just smiled really big at him and Sarah was just like “hehe hi Liam.” like an idiot and with him we just screwed it up basically. He just smiled at us and said hello. We got our CDs back and once we were out of eyesight with them we lost our cool and started screaming. Management didn’t rush us as much as they did to others cause we were the last ones to go before they had break so I was really thankful for that. I still smile about the whole experience and if I could I’d go back to a million times.
My One Direction Weekend
Friday - Concert day:
So basically, I get to the concert and I meet Sam and Victoria and Tricia and many more people. I go into the concert, and I almost touch Zayn’s hand when he puts it into the audience, but security made me leave because they realized I wasn’t in my seat. Then Logan from BTR grabbed my hand.
YUP GREAT NIGHT.
But this wasn’t that exciting compared to everything else.
Saturday -
Met up with alot of people from NYC Directioners (Whom aren’t TOO bad) Especially Fariha, she’s amazayn. So basically, we go to the back of the London (their hotel) and all of a sudden a huge black SUV pulls up and Harry suddenly walks out. Theres about 12 of us there watching him amazed. And everyone was like screaming hi harry and he’s saying small hellos here and there was 2 guys escort him into the garage. Then when the crowd dies down and harry isn’t completely gone yet, I jumped out and screamed “HI HARRY!” and he turned around, smiled and said “Hello love.” then management got pissed and made him keep walking. Omg I died.
THEN LATER.
THE BOYS COME OUT OF THE HOTEL TO TAKE PICTURES AND STUFF AND THEN LEAVE, THEN OMFG IT GOT CRAZY. AND LOUIS SEEMED LIKE A DICK HE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT NOTHING. SO THEY GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE AWAY AND ALL THE GIRLS STARTED JUMPING ON IT AND BANGING AROUND. HARRY KEPT INSTIGATING IT. OMFG SO FUNNY. AND EVERYONE CHASED THE VAN FOR LIKE A COUPLE BLOCKS. AND MANAGEMENT LOCKED GIRLS IN THE REVOLVING DOOR SO THEY WOULDN’T BOTHER THE BOYS AND SOME GIRL HURT HER HAND IN IT.
Saturday night - sunday morning:
We camped out at the palisades mall all night for the 1D wristbands for tuesday to meet them. I got mine!
Sunday night - Monday: BEST DAY!
So, we go to the VIP line for the Today show, and I end up meeting Cat, then we get amazing seats RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLATFORM 1D PERFORMED ON. Except, there was this small line of Directionators in our fucking way, they were honestly the most annoying people ever. So the boys did sound check, and both Zayn and Louis touched/held my hand. And Liam brushed against my hand and we had some hot eyesex. I ALSO GOT IN TV AND PEOPLE SAW ME. But then the crowd for extremely rowdy and started pushing, I even fell the the freaking ground and people stepped on me. Police came in and threatened to use force but people still didn’t stop.
My friend Adrielle knew the producer of the show, so if we needed anything we’d just call her. So basically, I hadn’t peed since sunday morning. And my bladder was about to pop. I was basically crying because I was in so much payne. So, she came out and told us. “You either stay in your spots right infront of the platform here, or you come to the bathroom and I try to put you somewhere as best as I can.” I couldn’t hold it in, honestly I was crying because I couldn’t last, and it was about another hour until the boys came back out and the bitches in the crowd were really getting rough, so she escorted us out on the catwalk - people started to fucking cheer when we left LOL. So, I go pee and I start to cry because Adrielle didn’t get to hold Harry’s hand and i felt like I ruined the whole opportunity for her. Turns out Cecilia (the producer) put us in the family area. So we were surrounded by Niall’s mum. His uncles, aunt’s, cousins, Harry’s dad, and Zayn’s cousin. We have a literally hour long conversation with Mrs. Horan, and she enjoyed talking to us. She even kept the convo going.
We got into the subject of how Niall has grown up so fast, and started to talk about how he was just 16 when he started out and how he’s freaking 18. I honestly felt like crying, she’s the sweetest, funniest, most cutest amazing woman I have ever met. And she made me fall in love with Niall. As soon as Niall came out singing, she started to cry. Which completely made me want to cry, and then Niall would be like “Everyone jump!” And she’d start to jump! IT WAS SO CUTE.
Then, my heart like broke. She told us about how in the UK it’s mothers day on sunday (I already knew that LAWL) and she said how it’s the first time she’d be spending it with Niall since they were both in America. I honestly wanted to cry my eyes out.
Then, we started talking to Niall’s cousins. WE EVEN FANGIRLED WITH THEM. ONE IS 14 AND THE OTHER IS 10 AND THEY LOVE ZAYN AND HARRY. We tried so hard not to fangirl though because like we were with the boys’ family.
Then Harry’s dad came over, and Mrs. Horan introduced us. Holy crap I died.
Then the boys continued to perform, and they kept looking over at where we were since we were with the family. It was so awkward but amazing, and then when they were escorted off of the stage AND THEY WERE ABOUT 2 FEET FROM US. Niall looked over at me and waved, so did Liam. Harry just walked by, and Louis just like ran off, and Zayn smiled. I died inside guys.
LATER ON IN THE DAY~
We went to the hotel, and Josh Devine and Sandy and the rest of the band were unpacking. Fariha and started shouting some innapropro stuff. Like she shouted, “JOSH HAVE MY BABIES!” and he laughed and looked at Sandy, then I yelled “Josh, father my children.” And his jaw dropped and he was like “THEY’RE LIKE 11 YEAR OLDS.” to Sandy, I died.
Then later on, my friend Adrielle went online to meet the boys with the J&R thing, so Erin and I were left with Fariha. We waited outside of the hotel and the boys’ van came out with all the boys inside. Niall waved at us all, but all the others looked miserable; especially Zayn. The van stopped and the like 10 of us went up to the van pressing our faces against the window, Niall waved at Erin and I and he recognized us, and the others all sort of just laughed.
Then we met up with Adrielle at the signing thing. I met Anjali on the line! Adrielle gave Liam this letter I wrote him, and he told her to tell me he says hello. I legit balled my eyes out because he might read it, and tomorrow i’m giving him a bracelet which says “Livvy’s hero” I’m so excited. So, we’re making our way out of J&R with Adrielle and we have makeup all over our faces, all the NYC girls are like ‘AW DON’T CRY” or like “LOOK THEY’RE CRYING!” then of course.. I run into Sam LAWL and she’s like “LIVVY DON’T CRY DON’T CRY” omg it was so embarrassing.
DALLAS WOOO WOO
24.3.12. The day I met One Direction. I had helped Dallas in all of the challenges for the @Bring1DtoUS competition. Me & bunch of friends went to the event that we had earned. It wasn’t quite organized; I think management hates Dallas.
But anyway, Here’s what happened with me:
I walked in the little building after standing in line for 4 hours. I was close to passing out, and a security guard advised me to faint forward if that were to happen. I smiled and walked in. It didn’t feel real! I held my CD booklets and set them in from of Liam. (the order at the table was Liam, Louis, Zayn, Harry, and Niall) I tried to say everything quickly to get everything out. I saw Liam sitting there, smiling at everyone and drumming his permanent marker on the desk:
Liam: Hello!
Me: Hi! Liam, can you tell Danielle she’s beautiful for me? (smiling like a weirdo lol but yolo I guess)
Liam: (smiles omg he’s so gorgeous) Sure! (high five; I made sure I touched each one of them (;)
I could tell Louis and Zayn were worn out. My friend was in front of me, asking Louis for a high-five, but he ignored her. I felt a bit hesitant talking to him, to be honest.
Me: Louis? Hi, Louis! *he looks up* Can you tell Eleanor she’s beautiful?
Louis: (He looked up with the most adorable smile and voice holy crap) Of course! (high five) (he turned back to his signings. I felt bad for him. He really looked like he needed a break)
Me: Heeeey Zayn!
Zayn: (smiles) Hello. (I think I scared him. Or he thought I was weird or something) (High fives woo)
I turn and face Harry. He caught my eye and smiled.
Harry: Hey love how are you? (hold up his hand for a high five like omg he wants me lol jk)
Me: Hi Harry! (returns high five)
Last I see Niall.
Me: Hey, Niall! My last name originates from Westmeath!
Niall: Really? (a huge smile is on his face) What is it?!
Me: Daly!
Niall: Oh, that’s cool! I know tons of Daly’s!
Me: Éirinn go brách! (speaking Gaelic, in translation it means Ireland forever)
Niall: :O WOW YES (high five)
The boys all seemed different when not on my computer screen.
Liam: More manly and muscular; I don’t think he receives enough credit for that!
Louis: He looks VERY mature. I thought he looked 25 or 26.
Zayn: Zayn is the same. He’s very shy and to him self. Absolutely breathtaking in person. (well, they all are!) He looked young.
Harry: He’s not as cheeky as you think. His eyes were just… I can’t explain. I wanted to stare at him.
Niall: He was so adorable. I just wanted to hold onto him forever!
Best day. Call me crazy, but I would do it all over again if I could.

Meeting the boys at the Philly signing
That’s a picture of Harry looking at me when he gave me a high five! I died.
So me an my best friend Rachel found out about the boys performing on the TODAY show and fully intended on going. We planned on taking a bus and everything. Then my friend Danielle said she would drive us. Everything was worked out perfectly and we were excited. Then the night before when we were getting ready to go Danielle backed out and we lost our way of getting there. We were devasted. Danielle wasn’t a 1D fan so she didnt understand why we were so crushed. Then me and Rachel decided to try for the NJ/Philly signing. The next night we went out to that Walmart and camped out in the rain for over 10 hours for wristbands. We met so many directioners and made friends that we still talk to today. Then as the days passed we waited for the signing with butterflies in our stomachs.
When the day finally arrived we were so anxious and excited we could barely contain ourselves. The signing was supposed to start at 2 and we got there around 8:30am. We got in line and stood for almost 7 hours waiting for the boys to arrive. We werent allowed to sit so by the time it was 2 we were just ready to see them already!
The boys of course were late, and sometime after 2 I was looking into the signing room when I saw Pauly Higgins. Naturally I screamed “I JUST SAW PAUL!!!!” and started freaking out. That got ALOT of confused looks and skeptical glances because I was the only one to see him. Then a short while later, Paul in all his glory walks out. Again, naturally, I screamed “PAUL!!!!!” to which he jumped a little, looked at me and chuckled.I was fangirling hardcore. Then we heard that the boys had arrived and we were to far away and blocked in to see them pull up out front. Then they got on a fire truck and all you could hear we’re screams and crying. They apparently looked adorable. Then the line started moving as Rey let people in, the boys got on the mics and Liam beatboxed and Zayn said vas happening! A bunch of times :) when it finally came time for me and Rachel to get into the room we couldnt even see the boys over the crowd there were so many people. I was dancing around like a lunatic and when we got up to the table Liam was first. He saw me dancing and started dancing with me in his seat. Then it was Louis. In all his sexy glory he was wearing a sleeveless jersey and his biceps were to die for. I have him a candy bra, to which he was highly amused. He picked up up laughing and just looked at me. I was cracking up and telling him to make sure he sees what the whole thing was and he said “oh I know” with a smile. I then moved onto Niall, who seemed distracted. I have him a green sequin tie and he looked at me and smiled. I was being rushed and when I got to Zayn he was looking at a security guy and I didn’t get a chance to say anything when I was pulled in front of Harry. I nearly fainted at how sexy he is on person. I then asked him for a high five and he smiled at me and gave me one. His massive hand touched mine. Then the security guy was yelling at me to move on and I tried to give Harry an “I love boobies” bracelet. It got stuck on my hand and he reached over and pulled it off. His massive hands enveloped mine for a good 3 seconds as he pulled it off. I almost died. It was glorious. After that I fangirls for hours, practically sobbing at the fact that I had met them all and even touched Harry Styles. Twice. it was a magical day that I will never ever forget.
My Almost Complete mission of meeting the boys
4/3/12
I had been bugging my aunts since I arrived in LA, If we could go to the W Hotel to see if the boys were there. They had been very negative and still are about the whole situtation. They don’t think Ill meet them at all and its a waste of time. Little do they know how much they’ve changed my life. That I created a youtube video, a letter to the boys telling them how much they changed my life.
Well today, was the day I got my wish. We got to the hotel put our acting faces on, and went past the doors and walked towards the pool area. You don’t need to be a guest to lounge around, but if you want to go to the actual pool area you have to be a guest. That is where two years of high school acting pulls off, you put your bitch face on and act like you run the place.
I walked around, looked outside to see about 10 directioners across the street, snickered to myself. Continued roaming, went to the second floor which is where the elevator is. Got in only to notice it needs a room key to work. Fu*ck I thought to myself. I then got a bright idea. Walked back to the table area of the pool deck, waited a while ordered a coke. Looked up at the hotel windws, to see those famous curls. OMG i almost died. I got up, paid, and walked calmly to the elevators again, and just to my luck a guy that worked there was coming out.
Here is our conversation:
“Excuse me! Can you give me a ride up? My mother has our card key.”
“Where is your mother?”
“Thats the problem, we’ve been roaming the hotel trying to find her.” Did I mention I was with a adorable 11 year old? We weren’t related but hell we could pass for it.
“Do you know your hotel phone number?”
“No.”
“Why don’t you try her cell?”
“Your kidding right? I’ve tried that already.”
“I could let you use my master key…as long as you brought it back.”
“Would you please?”
“Lets just check with the front desk first.”
“I’ve done that already! They said I was lying and I was stalking some boy band or smething that was staying here.”
“Well do you have a way of proving that your a guest here?”
“Uh, no we don’t have the same last name.”
“Oh, well I’m very sorry miss.”
“Well, fuck you too.”
So, I went back outside sat there for another hour, then my aunts didn’t want to wait anymore. They took me away. I had that gut feeling that if I had stayed I would of met them and told them my story. I was also planning on giving them each a battle4bob bracelet(my dad who has stage 5 kidney canceR). Well I will try again tommorow and let you know of my adventures!
My Story
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/gk9mcm
Honestly, the best day of my life. March 17,2012. xx
K, so my mom&I left at like midnight to drive the 2 hours to somerdale. We were gonna sleep in the car in the Walmart parking lot, but this weird security guard said we couldn’t. So we got some stuff from walmart, &my ipod was missing. So I was like, crying. I couldn’t find it. So we went to a Mc Donald’s not to far away, and I kept looking. I finally found it under the seat. ^-^
Then the next morning, we got up at like 7am. We went to the Walmart, &waited on like outside till 9am. Then we were moved into the outdoor area and had to stand for another 5 hours until 2pm. It was so horribly boring. You had to get ‘bathroom passes’ to leave, like.. really? -.- And if you weren’t back in 15 minutes, they made you go to the back of the line. (and they were those porta potty things. ick.)
Well then 1D came, and the girls were FLIPPING OUT. They went on a fire truck for some reason. It was so cute tho, they were all wearing matching green track suit things, except Zayn of course. -.-” But then they went inside, and so the people let us in too. &They got this award thing, and yeah, i was freaking out by then.
So we got up to them and Liam was first. He had on a batman shirt, and omfg. I swear, I fell in love. He looked so adorable in person! I was like awkwardly taking pictures of him, and he looked up and saw me. Then he smiled at me and waved, and I almost DIED. I was smiling like an idiot. Then next to him was Louis. He was so adorable in his little green basketball jersey. :’3 He has really attractive arms, and he smiled at me. Then Niall was next. asdfghjkl. His hair is like, REALLLYY light! Almost a white-blonde color! But he was sooooooo cute. He smiled at me too<3. &Then Zayn. He was like, ignoring me which I found so rude. Ugh. But Next to him was my prince… HAROLD.<3 Gahhh, He is so damn FLAWLESS in person holy shit. I saw no flaws on him. He’s a sex god, honestly. Well anyways, I asked him to sign my ipod and he smiled at me and we totally had eye contact for a second. He’s so gorgeous. &I was recording on my ipod as he was signing it, and you totally see his hand covering the camera(; and then you see Paul. -_- Paul made me move on. But anyways, I was like hyperventilation by then.
*
So we were waiting for my pictures to print at the little picture place at the walmart, then we were gonna leave,but they were taking forever. My mom was dead tired, so she fell asleep & I went and waited outside. I waited for like another hour (on top of the extra 4 hours I had already waited before that) and Niall, Liam, and Harry came out! They went and got into a cop car, and then drove off cause apparently they had to go to the bathroom and couldn’t do it inside. (lolololol) So then they came back, &Niall was so adorable. He was pretending he was handcuffed, and it was just so cute.
Then I waited another hour or two until they were finally DONE. They came out, and they were like 2 feet away from me. (Damn bars) but they were just… sdfghjkl;.I was dieing. &Harry waved at me!!! *ok, in my direction. idgaf, if anyone asks, he waved at ME.* I was like……….freaking out. Then yeah, they got in the car and left so I went to my mom. She was awake, and we left, and we were gonna try to see if they were coming so we can follow them (not really. we wouldn’t do that much, unless they went to a restaurant.) but we didn’t see them so we just got on the parkway to go home.
Then we went to Albivi on the way home,and of course there was these 2 semi-cute waitors that day. And of course, I looked like complete shit and ate like a freaking slob because 1) it was hot food and 2) i hadn’t eaten all day. And Mr.Castronovo was there and he like, had bandages on his hand. :c poor bby. So yeah. Then we came home and I put my pictures (And signed magazine—by harry—that my mom got for me) into a frame. Then I passed out. lol.
AND I DREAMED OF HARRY. :333333
no joke, i did.
but yeah. that was easily THE best day ever :’)
it feels like it didn’t even happen, honestly, like it was a dream. But I know it happened, and it will forever be amazing.
Something to tell me & harry’s grandkids..<3
