O_O!!! Holy crap...
A dark, empty road streches out before me. The first glimmers of sunlight are giving the completly fog covered road an errie gleam as "Highway to Hell" comes onto my radio...yes...today was going to be a great day!
HOLY CRAP! That convention was AMAZING. I have never had so much fun in my entire life. I got to the convention around 8:30 a.m. Head up the escelator and WHAM! I'm in the center of convention mania!! Meet a friend from online, she shows me where to go for registration and away we go. Get my registration packet and get instantly in-line for my photo op with Jared. Get split up from friend as she's got a different ticket and now I'm wishing I had someone else with me. That was quickly fixed when I started talking to the nicest lady from Columbia. We actually ended up spending most of the day together. Anyway, finally get into the room where the photo ops are going on and get my first glimps of Jared and Jim. Wow, so cool! As I get closer my nerves start to work up a little, but are quickly pushed back down when I remind myself that Jared isn't going to bite me and it'll be fine. Get a little closer and a small ten-year-old girl goes in for a photo op. Jared promptly pickers her up and sets her on his shoulder. All 60 + women in viewing range of this, myself included, go 'awwwwww!!!!!' and flip out because he's amazing, and he just turns bright red and blushes, then laughs. He's so awesome!
People are having him pose in party hats, with hockey sticks, in odd poses with pretend guns, in super mind exploding Sammy poses and FINALLY I get up to him. I am not nervous at all. He turns to me and gives me that amazing smile and I go "hi! I'm Holiday!" and He replies "Hello! I'm Jared" to which I go "Yup, knew that, other wise I wouldn't be here." And he laughs and grabs me into a big hug before the picture is taken. Get my picture and get another hug and a "good bye!" and as soon as I start to walk off I start shaky. Holy crap, I just hugged freaking Jared Padalecki!!! O_O Walk out, take a deep breath, calm down and go down stairs to promptly call Jade. Squee, freak out, tell her this is insane and then tell her that I'll call her back shortly. Head up stairs back to the vendors room, take a look around, realize that I'm goign to need more money, and go pull another $80 to add to my $60 plus on top of the $125 I've already spent. For being so cheap, this did not phase me! I bought some awesome glossy pictures, two shirts (one of which is for Jade) and a few more autographs! YAY! Call Jade back and go "The next voice you'll hear on this phone shall be that of Jim" and then proceed into the line for Jim. Talk to him for a moment, he signs my autograph then takes the phone to talk to Jade. I'm impressed and so pleased because he looks SO HAPPY talking to her, like he's speaking to an old friend. I get the phone back, jump into the next line for Fred. This man is so sexy for an older guy, wow. He talks to me for a few minutes, said he loves my name (Holiday) and then takes the phone from me to talk to Jade. while he's talking to her and telling her that he has enlisted me into his army he's making these "you're my bitch now" eyes at me that are KILLING me. He promptly slaps a "Fredric Lehne" sticker on my boob (I got groped by the Yellow-Eyed-Demon!!! SWEET!) and tells Jade she may never see me again, then hands the phone back.
yay! Awesome. I head back out and just chill, talking to Jade. Every few minutes though, Fred would randomly come walking by me. And eventually I was convinced (with the help of Jade) that he was stalking me, so I asked if he was, and he said yes, to which I laughed and said "fine by me!"
After all this was the Q&A with Jared. That man is SO FREAKIN FUNNY! I will posts a clip of it when they start surfacing, because I can't recall everything, however a few things are:
"I litterly just flew in from set... I walked into wardrobe and said 'guys, I'm going to Orlando, I need clothess.' So, everything I'm wearing is Sam's.. The shirt, that's Sam's, the pants, yup, those are his too, the shoes are his, so is the belt, the underwear...yeah, those really are his too. The socks are mine, but that's it."
"*makes wooooooo noises into the microphone* It's a whale!"
"Jensen and I clean house together!"
"I'm not a hobbit! I don't even have furry feet! Now you guys gave me a hobbit complex."
"I think everyone at the end of the series should die. *NO! Screamed from fangirls* Sam kills Dean? *NO!!!* Dean kills Sam? *NOOO!* Impala crashes? *NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Bobby kills Sam and Dean *WHOOOO!!!!!!!!YEAH!!!!* HEY! You guys are mean!!!"
After that was the autograph session that ended up getting cut really short to the point that he couldn't even personalize anything anymore because everyone was taking so long and he had to be on a plane by 3:30 (it was now 2). So I finally got up there, he signed my piture, and I gave him the beanie hat I made for him and go "here, this is for you, I made it, I hope it keeps your head warm." He looks up at me with this really humbled look and goes "Wow, thank you, it's awesome." then he grins, and gives me the most FLIRTTY wink and grin. So much so that when I walked off, the ladies standing behind me all went "ohhh!!!! You GO girl! He's SO checking you out!" Yeah, so I got flirted with. How cool?
And that ended my day! I plan to write him a letter to thank him for coming and being so awesome, and to tell him that I hope that beanie cap fits!
