in which I don't even try to control my crey. which actually isn't even that bad.
Sunday night, I went to my very first One Direction show! It was awesome! Harry in mah face! Only not in mah face because we were really fucking far from the stage but we were breathing the same air and I was drunk so it was brilliant.
fiddleyoumust and lissa_bear drove up from Corpus and grabbed catchmelike, prettykitty_aya came down from Oklahoma and we all met up on Saturday night for hotel shenanigans. Why we chose to do that instead of driving up to Dallas for the show there, I still don't know but it was great fun even though I'm super sad to only see one show this tour. Anyways, I was the last to arrive and by the time I got there, they'd already gotten settled in. And by settled in, I mean decorated the room 1D-style and made cups for all the booze we would later partake of.
The main wall. Or actually, only part of it. The other side had a poster with a 'Pin the Kiss on One Direction' game which we totally drunkenly played.
The Larry doors. These led to the bedroom. Oh yeah.
The kitchen which was mostly pics of Niall because Niall/food otp, obvs. Also because he went to the zoo by himself.
Our hand-decorated cups. The others put ship names on theirs but Julia's was "Mrs Styles" and mine said "Harry." Because Julia and I have the best taste.
I'd forgotten to bring my booze so Elissa and I ran out to the liquor store for my favorite cherry vodka. We got back right as the pizza we'd ordered arrived and the night began. We started by watching *NSync's Live From Madison Square Garden show. Both Elissa and I have watched this DVD so much that we still remember the choreographies. Because we're cool like that. And then we watched the Up All Night DVD.
We'd decided before that we were going to play a drinking game while watching. We amended the rules a little so we wouldn't die and to add in for Elissa to drink every time she had Louis feels (baaad idea) and for Julia to drink every time she had Liam feels (the willpower on this woman, I swear). It went better than you might imagine because we kept taking breaks because we couldn't contain our feels.
This I took basically because we've met up all the times and have ninety trillion pictures of band boys but very few of ourselves. I still only took two, this one and one of me and Julia but at least I somewhat remembered.
On one of our breaks, someone (Julia?) noticed this sign on the door of the room a few down from us
so we decided to show solidarity or something by taping a poster to their door and unknowingly started a poster war that lasted until two am when our drunk asses had to punk out so we could ptfo. It was great fun and I still have no idea what those girls looked like. (I also have no idea why that last one is upside down. Lol drunk.)
Most of us were in pretty good shape the next day and those who weren't got there after we had lunch. Then we chilled in the hotel room and farted around on tumblr until we left for the show at six. A far cry from my normal concert routine but we didn't really see a point in melting in the sun all day just to be at the front of the lawn seating but still behind the (world's tiniest) pit and the actual seats. Paid a ridiculous amount of money for a little food to tide us over (we forgot to eat because we were too busy ogling the boys' faces online) and more booze which we supplemented w/ mini bottles we'd snuck in in our bosoms like the bosses we are.
Thus fortified, we sat through a pretty awful girl singer who's name was almost "normal" but had a weird vowel sound in there somewhere and Olly Murs who I thought was great but then realized how thoroughly delightful he is when he led the mostly underage crowd in a sing-a-long to Nelly's "Hot In Herre." Definitely gonna get his album when it comes out over here. Might even pay for it. :D
One Direction, of course, was fantastic. We sang our faces off, I flailed about with my shoes in my hands, they attempted to talk with Texas accents, Julia and I clutched each other through Use Somebody, they played the lyrics game during some of the songs, I possibly left gouges from my nails in Jullia's arm during Harry's soulful Yeeeaaaahs, Zayn kissed Liam (on the forehead) and Harry almost kissed Niall. It was amazing. This comm is locked but there's a great recap here.
Basically, we all walked away from this show with an overabundance of Niall feels and thoroughly convinced that sex with any of these guys would be A+, would do again.
In related news, today Ticketmaster sent me an email saying that my tickets for our next 1D show have been printed and will be mailed shortly. That show is in July. Of next year. What.
