Whatcha Think About That?: 2009

Christmas - A Time For Forgiveness

Christmas, for most people, is a time for family to get together and celebrate the holidays. It's the perfect time to let go of any grudges you hold against anyone, so you can start the New Year with a clean slate.
I spent most of 2009 not talking to a close family member. My stubborn ways meant I would rather do anything other than apologise or even talk to this person.
However, I knew this needed to change. I have forgiven and accepted this person back into my life, making family gatherings more bearable and less awkward. I have decided I need to quit acting stupid and stubborn, because family is really important and I know if anything had happened, and I hadn't reconciled with her then it would tear me apart inside.
It feels good to know that I can move on from this, and let go of this silly grudge. I can start the New Year feeling happy and refreshed, instead of dragging my problems with me.

"You owe it to yourself to not carry around this baggage of hurt feelings. It only hurts you worse in the long run. " - Kimberly Wyatt

Even though any time of the year is a good time for forgiveness and starting afresh, Christmas has that extra meaning. Christmas is about family. It means the end of the year, where you can leave your problems behind in 2009 and start 2010 on a positive note!

Mama <3

Today is the 10th December. The date 10th December 1998 is always in my mind, and it's a date I'll never forget.

I can't believe it's been 11 years already...where has the time gone? I get scared that as time goes on I will forget about her more and more. I feel like I can't talk about her, or what happened. I don't really like talking about it to other people because I know it makes them feel awkward. Plus I always think that since it's been 11 years now then people think I should be "over it".

I'll always remember that day, like it was yesterday. I was 9 years old and my mum had been diagnosed with bowel cancer in the August. I remember when my mum and dad sat me down and told me she was going to die. It completely broke my heart, and I never spoke about it to anyone. The next morning after my mum had told me, she found me crying in the bathroom and asked me what was wrong. I said something like "I'm scared you're not gonna be here for my 10th birthday" and she was like "well you never know...if we keep praying then maybe I will...maybe God will work a miracle so I can watch you grow up" I wonder what it must have felt like for her to have to say that to her child...

But she was so strong and brave. She never let it get her down. She celebrated her 40th birthday in the November with all her family and friends there. It was so happy, yet so sad because she was so sick.

Then 2 weeks later, on the 10th Dec my dad came into my bedroom and told me to come downstairs. It was a school day and I panicked because I thought he was gonna shout at me for sleeping in but I quickly glanced at the clock before I left my room and it was only about 7.20am...My dad took me into the dining room and sat me down. I could see through the glass doors into the living room (where my mums bed was) and I could see the curtains were still shut. That's when I knew. My dad started to talk but I didn't want to hear what he had to say. I just burst into tears and kept saying "no" over and over, really loudly to drown out what my dad was saying, as if saying it enough times would make it not be true? My dad then told me that my precious mummy had died in the middle of the night. I wanted to fucking break down.

I miss her so much. It's crazy because sometimes it STILL doesn't feel real. I still get mad and upset when I think about it. I always think WHY? Why did MY mum have to die? WHY was she taken from me when I was only a kid? WHY did she have to die when she had only just turned 40?? But if you keep asking "why" or "what if" then it would drive you crazy, right?

Ever since my mum died, life has been difficult for me. I sometimes feel as if someones out to get me and tried to make my life a living hell. But I have to deal with it and move on. Jump over every hurdle in life. When life gives you lemons...make lemonade. Kim once told me "Everyone in this world has dealt with some sort of hardships, it's how we choose to overcome them that creates a path." Well that's what I try to do. I try to find the best way to overcome things.

My life changed a lot after my mum died, and I honestly think if she was still alive today then I would be leading a very different life. So if you're reading this, and your mum is still around, then go up to her and tell her how much you love her. Please? Because I would do absolutely ANYTHING to see my mum again, even if it was just for a minute.

MOBOs & Got To Danceeee

I got to meet the amazing Kimberly Kaye Wyatt again in Glasgow at the MOBO Awards on 30th September, then again in Edinburgh and London when she was judging for Got To Dance :o)

MOBO Awards.

Basically what happened was...Lisa and I had arranged to go to where the MOBOs were being held to see if we could see anyone famous basically, but particularly because Kim had told us Nicole was going to be there.

But then on morning of the day at like 6am I saw Kims tweet about her coming to Glasgow and I was like

so Lisa came through dead early at like half 9 in the morning. And we were gonna go to the airport to try and meet her there, but Mark text me saying they had already landed, but he told us which hotel they were at.

So we got to the hotel, but I already knew they has checked in already, so basically we just waited for them to appear. It was so cold and rainy outside, but luckily we had managed to stay inside the hotel the whole time, even though it was for guests only haha.

Well it turned out JLS, Lemar & Amir Khan were staying there too. We saw the JLS boys and got pictures with them.

Then like a few hours later Mark came out of the lift so we went with him to Costa, and he was telling us Kim was sleeping cos she's had like no sleep. And I asked him "Is Kim coming back in November?" and he was like "I dunno, she might be back sooner than you think" Which I was very confused by, but then realised what we was talking about later haha.

Anyway then we went back to the hotel and he went up to his room. So basically we were waiting for AGESSS. From like 10am till 7pm lol. Then at 5pm Mark comes down and was like "I need to find a drycleaners!! Kims dress needs steamed" or something. So he went out and we were like "Ughhh, she's still gonna be agesss" Then eventually he came back and he was like "5 minutes ok? She's all ready, just needs to put her dress on"

Then my friend Caitlin arrived. Then about 10 minutes later the lift door opens and out walk Kim and Mark And I was like

"She looks so beautiful" I'm not joking, she actually looked like an angel!

And she was like "Hey babe!" and gave me a hug and then Lisa. And I was like "This is my friend Caitlin" and she was like "Hi Caitlin, it's so nice to meet you!" and gave her a hug. And I was like "Kim...you look amazing" and she was like "Thank you!" and thennn I said "and OMG you smell SOOOOOO good!!!!" hahaha and she just laughed and said thanks. Then we got pictures, and asked her if she was coming back in November she was like "I don't know :/" and we were like "Well you need to tell usss so we can plan it! Cos we never knew you were coming here and now suddenly your here!" And she was like "Aww yeah, I can't say for definite incase plans change though. But I'm glad I got to come see you in your hometown" (or something like that)

And then she left. So we went to the arena, to watch the red carpet. Saw people like Jermaine and LaToya Jackson, Keri Hilson, Kelly Rowland, Ndubz, JLS, Diversity, Danielle Lloyd, Alexandra Burke...probably more but I forgot lol.

Anyway then Kim was coming down the red carpet and we was screaming her name haha but she didn't really hear us. We were like 2/3 row. But she came over and she saw me and then she reached out and grabbed my hand and said "I love you!!" and I was like "I love you TOO!!!!" hehe

Thenn after everyone had gone in Lisa and I decided to go back to mine to watch the show (we never actually had tickets for the thing) Then after it we fell asleep but had set our alarms for 2am cos Kim told us she was leaving her hotel at 4am, to get on the first flight back to London cos she has a busy day there.

Lisa and I were trying to decide if we should go to her hotel or the airport. Anyway we decided on the airport, but neither of us had ANY money so we needed to find a place to park which was free (almost impossible in an airport). Anywayyy, totally by chance, the barrier to get into the Premier Inn car park was open, so we just parked the car there and hoped no-one would notice (it's for guests only) hahaha.

Then we went into the airport and waited for a couple of hourssss. Then I see this girl come in the door with her hood up and shades on, and I see a guy in a red hoodie and I SWEARRRRR I thought they were black (we were standing far away lol) so I said to Lisa "Oh look, wonder who that is!!" and she was like "OMG it's Mark and KIM!!!!" and I was like "What? No!! These people are black!" But turned out it actually was Kim and Mark LOOOOOL. I am actually blind.

So we walked up to them and Mark just said "Oh my god....you are CRAZY" (cos it was 5am lol) and Kim just smiled and gave us a hug. And she was telling us how she had a good night the night before etc. But they couldn't find their check in desk but then found out they were in the wrong terminal, so I think me and Lisa were really lucky Kim and Mark came into the wrong terminal or else we wouldn't have seen them.

So then they started walking away and Kim was like "come with us!" But then she just walked on ahead with her lil suitcase haha (think she was VERRRRY tired) and me, Lisa and Mark were a little behind her. She got a few stares, but no-one went up to her.

Then they checked in and me and Lisa just waited. Kim kept turning round and smiling at us. Then once they had checked in they came over. Kim was holding her passport and I really wanted to ask if I could see her photo but I didn't haha. Then we got pictures. And we were talking about going to LA lol. Then she was like "Well we gotta go, but it is always so good to see you!!" and I said "Well we just came because we looove you and just wanted to say bye" and she said "Thank you, I really appreciate it" Then we said bye and left.

-----------------

Got To Dance - Edinburgh

Me and Lisa went through to Edinburgh on 9th of October where it was a "dancing in the streets" type of thing. But I never joined in lolz. Anyway Kim was there

And I went up to her but she was sort of looking at the ground so I kinda waved right under her face haha and she look up and was like

"Oh HEY!" and gave me a hug and then was asking why I wasn't dancing and I said "Cos I can't dance" and she was like "Yes you can!!! I have seen you!!" and I was just like...loooooool. And then as we were talking some paps came over to us and were like "Kimberly, can we have a picture?" So Kim turned round and put put her arm round my waist so I turned round too and all these paps were taking our picture lol. I was just like :-/

so I hope these pictures never show up lol.

Then she went away for a bit and came back then Lisa met her and I can't really remember if anything interesting was said lol. All she said was that she was there the whole weekend. Then we got picturesss and she left.

Then on the Saturday and Sunday we went to where they were filming the auditions and me and Lisa managed to get into every filming (as audience members) even though we never had tickets lol. There was only like 200 people in the audience and Kim saw us and was always waving and smiling at us. But we couldn't go and meet her after it had finished cos the security guys were mean. But on the Saturday me and Lisa were leaving, and Kim was still sitting at the table talking to someone, and I kept looking round to try to catch her attention but couldn't. But then right before I went out the door, I turned around again and Kim stood up and had her arm in the air and was waving at meee and I was just like "omg" and got shy and just turned away LOL oops.

Then on the Sunday, there was quite a lot of breaks in filming as the dancers were getting interviewed and stuff. So you just had to sit there and the judges just sat at their table. And you were supposed to keep quiet. But then Lisa was trying to get Kims attention but couldn't catch it so I just had a random outburst and yelled out "KIMBERLYYYY" and she looked over and started laughing and I got soooo embarrassed cos EVERY audience member and every judge was looking at me so I just buried my face haha.

Then on the Sunday after the filmings we were trying to meet Kim. But her, Adam and Ashley (the other judges) were all in the one car with a camera guy so they couldn't stop. And we heard what hotel she might be staying at so we went to it but the staff said she wasn't staying there. And I rang round a million other hotels but couldn't find anything. And me and Lisa wanted to properly meet her again before she left.

We knew she was leaving on the Monday so decided the airport was our best bet. So we got the airport at like 830am even though we had no idea what time she was leaving or where she was going. So we decided to wait at security as we would almost definitely see her there. Anyway, we waited for like an hour, then Lisa went to the shop. Once she came back she gave me a Wispa she had bought me so I was sat staring at the ingredients and listening to music on my earphones. Then I just looked up and I saw Kim like RIGHT in front of me!! Except I could only see her from the side so couldn't really see her face. And I was like "OMG Lisa!!!!" and then I said "Kim!!!" but she didn't turn round. And she kept walking!! And I stood up and was like "Omg Lisa!!! Was that Kim??" And she was like "I dunnoo??" So I went after her while Lisa stayed and I was kinda behind her and said "Kim!!" again but she still didn't turn round.

And then she was literally JUST about to go through security and I was panicking cos I wasn't sure if it was her or not and I didn't wanna miss her so I just went "KIMBERLY" and she turned round and was like

"oh my gosh where did you come from??" And I was like "omggg I was saying your name and you ignored me!!" hahha but I was just so happy it was her and I hadn't missed her LOL. Then Lisa came over, we got pictures and we talked to her for a bit. She said she's working on BM hoodies YAY!!! And she was like "Omg Scotland is FREEZING!! How do you live here?" and I was like "Take us to LA with you?" hehe. Then she was like "It was so much fun to have you in the audience!!" and Lisa said "Yeah we're gonna come down to London for the live shows" and Kim was like "ooh please do!!"

Oh and I asked if we could look at her neck piercing so she showed us. It is sooooo pretty!!! And tiny!!! A lot smaller than I thought. And it was still a bit red, she was telling us how it really hurt and stuff hehe. And she asked us "So what have you got planned for the rest of the day?" and it was only like 10am?? So I was like "Um, well, I dunno, we were planning on waiting here the whole day?" and she laughed lol. Then she said she had to get to her gate so I gave her another hug and said to her "I love you so much" and she replied "I love you so much too"

And then me and Lisa were on SUCH a high! Because we weren't even sure if we were gonna see Kim that day!! But we did, and only had to wait like just over an hour!!!

---------------------

Got To Dance - London

So me and Lisa got the overnight bus from Glasgow to London on Thursday 29th October. We arrived at Victoria in London at 7am on the Friday morning and I had literally only had like 20 minutes sleep :-/

Thennn we got the tube to North Greenwich where our hotel was, and where the TV studio was. It's also where the O2 arena is

We dropped our bags off at the hotel, got changed and stuff then went to the Sky Dome, where the filming was being held and queued up. We met up with Eve and then watched both sessions. Kim saw us and waved at us and stuff

I'm trying to think if anything interesting happened that day...Hmm...anyway, then we got done at like 6pm so went to Waterloo station to meet Tori. Thennnn Eve went home so me, Lisa and Tori went to Kims hotel. We weren't 100% sure if she was staying there but we took a chance haha. Then about 20 minutes later Kim got out of a carrr

She told us it was fun to have us in the audience. She got pictures with us and she told Tori she had good style, aww lol

Lisa asked her if she would sign a CD for her brother and Kim was like "Sure, what's his name?" and Lisa said "Kevin" and Kim was like "Awwwwwwwwwww" and had this cute little smile on her face haha. I showed her the wallpaper on my phone, which is an old pic of Kim and she was like "Omg, that was so long ago!" then she showed us her wallpaper which was a pic of Cupid

Then we left herrrr. We went back to our hotel and got pizzaaaa and then slept. I was soooo tired haha.

Then on Saturday me, Tori and Lisa met up with Eve again and went to the TV studio. Halfway through the filming this camera guy comes up to us and starts talking to us. I couldn't hear much of what he was saying though but then he told us that once the filming had finished he was going to grab us so he could film a little bit with Kim talking to us and then I was just like

and looked at Kim and she was looking at us and laughing! So we were all like "omggg" then started doing our makeup and Kim looked over at us again and burst out laughing when she saw us doing our makeup, how embarrassinggg haha.

Then after the last dance act the guy grabbed us and took us over to Kim. We said hi and hugged her and stuff. Then the crew were asking questions like "What do you think of Kims judging?" "Why do you live Kim so much?" and "How does it feel to meet your idol?" Haha.
I was like sooo nervous. And when we were talking about why we loved Kim, I looked at her and she was just standing there and her eyes were welling up, she was trying not to cry!
She was saying to the camera about how we were family, and we always talk to her online and stuff, she regards us as friends, not fans and she loves how we always come out to support her.
Then the woman was like "Ok, now can you just say a little goodbye or something?" and Kim was like "Well, with us it's never goodbye. We always keep in touch and I know we will never lose touch"

Then we got a pic with her and she went away. We had to sign forms saying it was ok to put us on TV lol then the guy asked for a close up of my tattoo haha, cos I had mentioned it when talking about Kim.

Then the camera guy walked us outside of the studio (cos it was a break) and we didn't have tickets for the afternoon but he said to the security guy "These girls are friends of Kimberly Wyatt so make sure they get in for the next session ok?" Haha

It was all a bit surreal.

Then we got in and watched the next session. Then once that finished we went to Kims hotel to try and meet her again lol. We waited for like an hour and then she came back. We got pictures with her, she recorded Tori's voicemail message and I wanted her to do mine but I had no credit to call my voicemail

:(" border="0"> Then she said she was heading back to LA on Wednesday but was going to be in the studio before then as she is working with Aggro, who is like an urban/grime artist. Which I think it's kinda weird? Lol. Erm...trying to remember if she was saying anything else...

Anyway, then we went back to our hotel. There's a few things I've always wanted to say to Kim when I meet her but either the moment is never right, or I just can't get the words out. So I decided to write her a letter. I was feeling sort of deep, so just wrote out all my feelings down in a letter for her and it was quite personal lol.

Then on Sunday Tori had to go home. So me, Lisa and Eve went back for the final day of auditions. There was one group who did a dance to WIGU, and as Kim was talking to them about it afterwards, she mentioned the music and I started cheering really loudly, but I was like the only one? Haha, and Kim just looked over and pointed at me and laughed looooool.
There was one realllyyyyyy good group. A group of kids from Cardiff who were doing street/hip hop dancing. They were actually AMAZING. And they got a standing ovation from the crowd and the judges which had never happened before. They were called something like Dukebox Duo or something?

Then all the auditions were over

So we went back to our hotel to collect our suitcases then headed to Kims hotel. Me and Lisa needed to put credit in our phones though so Kim could do our voicemails, so we had a mad dash trying to find a place that was still open at 7pm on a Sunday that did topups. Luckily Carphone Warehouse on Oxford St was still open, so we got them and then like ran to Kims hotel. Then literally about 10 minutes after we got there, she did too!!

She looked sooo pretty but we didn't get a pic with her that time cos she was too cold. So she did our voicemails. And I gave her my letter (which had gotten wet in the rain!!) and I told her how I had wrote it the night before and it was quite deep. Then I apologised for it being wet and that I hoped she could read it haha. She was like "Aww it's ok haha. And I love deep letters. They're the best" and she squeezed my hand. Then she had to go inside cos it was so cold so we said bye and left her. I had wanted to ask her about her album but never got the chance :-/

Then we said bye to Eve, and Lisa and I had to wait for a couple of hours until our coach home. We got home at like 8am on the Monday morning.

Thursday 3 September 2009

Blackpool <3

Sooooo....me, Lisa and Natalie drove down to Blackpool on Friday. We got there, but we found out Kim wasn't getting there till the next day so we just wondered round and ate food and whatever. Oh and we didn't have enough money for a hotel so we were sleeping in Lisas car LOOOOL. How embarrassing.

So we woke up at 6am on Saturday morning cos we had to go pick Nabeel up from the coach station. So we did that, and went to McDonalds and stuff to try to make ourselves look half decent in the bathrooms lol. Then we start heading towards the the UDOs about 9am. I never heard back from Mark about the tickets so I had emailed him and as we were walking there he emailed me back (thank god for my blackberry!) saying I have to call him when we get there and him and Kim would get there about 4pm. SO I was like URGHHH 4pm?? Cos it was only like 9am.

So we went into the building and met up with Tori, Eve and Kylie. Then I decided to phone Mark cos we couldn't really do anything without tickets but he wouldn't answer his phone and I didn't want to ring him loads and sound like I'm pestering him. So we just wondered round for a few hours, then we left and went to the beach. We found these random rubber duckys sitting on top of a bin! So Tori and I took one and then set them free into the sea haha.

Oh, and can I just say, I was also really sick. It started off with a cold and then turned into a chest infection. Every time I was outside my chest was killing me and every time I laughed it turned into the most painful cough ever. And I was sneezing alll the time and had a blocked nose, not good.

Anyhoo, so then after a few hours we never heard back from Mark so we went back to the UDOs anyway. Tori, Eve and Kylie already had their wristbands. So I just went up and said I was with Mark Summers and they actually gave Lisa and I two weekend wristbands for free!! I was actually so surprised it worked, cos I don't think Mark had said anything to them. And they cost 35quid. So I was happy. Then Natalie and Nabeel got theirs too and we went in.

Basically we watched the dancing for agesss, just waiting for 4pm to roll round so we could see Kim. But omg some of the dancers were AMAZING!!! Tiny little kids as well, I was just like =/ I wanted to get more video but cameras were prohibited so I only got one video of the Under 16 Newcomers....but I wish I could have filmed the Advanced dancers, or the groups. Anyhooo, then we had to leave the hall for a long interval while they cleaned up and got prepared for the evening.

We got back in at like 7pm and we had to rush for a front row seat lol. It was crazy, all the crazy mums were running so they could watch their little angels haha. Anyway we got front row and then Tori said she could see Kim up on the balcpony in the VIP section but I must have really bad eyesight cos I couldn't even tell it was her. I wanted to go up but no one would come with me. Eventually Kylie came with me but we couldn't get into where she was cos it was VIP. But then I saw her coming down the stairs so I ran over and then I saw her and I went over to her and she had this serious, professional face on and I was like ""Kim!" and she looked at me and her face just broke out into a huge smile and she was like "Heyy you!" and gave me a hug. I can't really remember what I said to her, but it was rushed as she was on her way to stage so didn't get a picture with her. Then we went back to our seats.

Then she went on and spoke a bit about the UDOs etc and then her and Mark went and sat at the judges table because they were judging the 4 groups. The groups were sooooo good!!! And one of them, I think they were called Anemaniacs or something, was like totally going up to Kim and pointing at her and she was getting all embarrassed and putting her head on the table, and then Don't Wanna Fall In Love came on in their music and we were all like YEAHHH!!!! and Kim was just laughing so hard!! So that group was totally sucking up the the judges, but they were sooo good and they eventually won :)

Then Kim left and we saw her taking pictures so we went over but there was loadssss of people so we didn't get much time to talk to her. I got a picture with her (although I look like shittt) and I gave her Taylors letter. I was like "This is from Taylor...you know Taylor in Ireland?" And she was like "Of course!" and I said "Well she asked me to pass this onto you so here it is!" and she was like "Thank yooou!!" And I was like "Omg I love you!" And she said "I love you too!" Then I can't remember when the next happened...but I said to her "Where are you staying tonight?" and she said "Uh I don't know, some place...(then I can't remember what else she said)"...and I was like "Ohhh ok...so you don't know the name of your hotel? Maybe you could tell us?" and I was just kinda kidding around but she just sorta laughed and smiled and turned away lmfao.

Then Mark was acting like her security guard, even though she already had one! He was totally covering her, and telling who could get pictures and stuff. So she took a few more pictures and then left.

Then we left too, it was pretty late at this point so we drove around and eventually went to sleep...me, Lisa, Natalie and Nabeel in a very small car haha. But it wasn't actually as bad as I thought.

Then we woke up and it was Sundayyy. Mark had told me the day before to ring him again but I was like "Ugh why should I ring him if he doesn't even answer his phone or text back?" So we sat for a while, watching the dancing and I eventually decided to text Mark and he actually text back. Although every time I asked a question, he would reply but not answer my freaking question!!! Anyway then eventually he said they were coming in a side way so we went round the outside to try find them but the building is very big with about a million different exits.

So we were like, ugh dunno which one, let's go back inside. And then a car pulls up and stops but none of us really think it's them. So then as a JOKE I started running up to the car and kinda screaming (it was funny at the time lmfao) and then I looked at the driver and was like "hmm he looks suspiciously like Kims security guy" And I looked in the back and could see Kims spiky hair and I was like "OMG!!! I cannot believe I just went running up to the car screaming like some crazed lunatic!!" Hahaha it was hilariousss!! Then Kim and Mark got out and we were talking to Kim and got picturessss. I can't remember what I said to her though? And then she went inside.

So we went inside too, through another door and when we found her she was setting up all her BM clothes and I was like :D I really wish I could have bought another one but I had hardly anyyy money

Anyway, she was there for about 2/3 hours just selling clothes, and taking pictures. So we hung around the whole time and spoke to her every time she was free.

Nabeel asked when she's gonna come back and Kim said she should be back in November (but I'm not sure why) and then she said "I think I might come back about once a year to do workshops!" and Nabeel was like "Orrr.....twice a year?" And she laughed and said "How about once a week?" And we were like yeahhh!!!! Then I asked her if she was going to be at the MOBOs in Glasgow because Mark mentioned something about that and she said "No, I don't think so, but I think Nicole is going to be there!" And I was like "Omg really? Is she presenting an award or something?" And Kim said "No I think she's..um..giving out an award" Hahahha aww :)

I also said to her she needs to follow Team Wyatt on Twitter and she was like "Oh ok, what is it?" And I was like "I'll write it down cos you'll forget! And you can follow me too!" So then she told all of us to put our twitter names down so she can follow us haha. And we were like "keep that piece of paper safe!!" haha. So I hope she does!

I'm trying to remember what else we spoke aobut...Oh yeah, someone mentioned about her hair and she was lie "I didn't like the way I had it cut" And I said "I think you looked beautiful but I do prefer it when it goes off to the side" and she was like "thank yooou" Then we were talking about nails for some reason. I think Kim said she needs to get her nails done and she asked us where we het our nails done and we were like "uhh...we do them ourselves?" Lol and I showed her my chipped pink nail varnish and she laughed.

Ohhhh yeah, and she was looking at Natalies twitter name on the piece of paper and was like "huh? what does that say?" and we were like "it says nattypondetrack!" and we told her to say it in a Jamaican accent and she did and it was soooo hilarious and I kept asking her to do it again cos it was soooo funny. And then Tori filmed her saying it!!!

I asked her when she's putting the BM store online and she said next week, so fingers crossed it will actually go up and I also asked her if she's going to do anymore of those long vlogs she does that she edits and puts together and she says she's in the middle of doing one right now yayyy!!!

Oh and then she got out her video camera and asked to film us for BM. So we just basically had to say our name and be like "We love BM" but it was a bit of a mess haha. Then Kim wanted a picture with us on her camera to Mark took one.

And I told her when she goes to Manchester she has to look out for Chloe, because she was going to be there, and Kim asked what her BM username was and I told her and she was like "oooh ok I'll definitely look out for her!" cos I told her Chloe tried to meet her in Manchester on tour but we didn't get to.

Ugh...I can't remember what else we were saying...we all spoke about A LOT of things...

Anyway then Kim had to go to the stage to do something, so we went and sat right at the front and then when she came on the stage we started cheering and she was talking about BM and said "There's some of my BM family over there" and pointed to us. And then she went back to her table but then there were loadssss of people there.

Oh yeah. I really wanted her to sign my shoe but was a bit to scared to ask, and then Tori was like "Rachel wants you to sign her shoe!!!" And I was like "Nooooo it's ok!!" And Kim was like "No, come here, I'll sign it" and I said "Nah, I can't take it off, incase it smells, hahhaa" And then she got down on one knee and made me put my foot on her knee so she could sign it hahahaha!! My camera had died but Tori took a picture of her signing it lmaooo.

We all wanted to go the MJ tribute show but we had no money and it was sold out anyway so Tori sort of hinted to Kim for tickets like "Ohh we want to go tonight, but we don't have tickets" and Kim was just like "Aww that's a shame." ....hahaa.

So then I went up to Mark and was like "Is there any chance you could get us tickets for tonight?" And he was like "Of course, I'll see what I can do" And then after a while Kim and Mark left to go to Pride in Manchester. Mark text me and told us to wait at the door at 6.30pm to try and get us in.

So we had a to wait a few hours and then Chloe was texting me and calling me like "Omggg I just met Kim!!" And apparo Kim was like "Aww yeah Rachel was telling me all about you!" :)

Then at 6.30pm we went back to the door and it was pissssingggggg down. And 10 minutes later they drive back and Mark says to one of the staff "These people are with me" So we got to follow him and Kim backstage. And we were waiting for someone to open the door and Kim was like "Oooh I have that scarf!" And I was like "Yeah I know, I gave it to you!" Haha.

Mark kept saying to everyone "These people are with me, they are good fans, so they are with me. They are sleeping in a car!! That shows dedication!!!" Haha. It was kind of embarrassing though knowing that Kim knew we were sleeping in a car LOOOL.

Then we went in and Kim and Mark went somewhere so we were just hanging around backstage where we saw Diversity, George Sampson, Ellis Hollins (Tom from Hollyoaks), Austin Drage, Andy Abraham...think that's about it.

Then we saw Kim again and she was just hanging around with a drink in her hand so we were talking to her and I was like "What are you drinking?" And she was like "Hot water and lemon, cos I have a sore throat" And I was like "Ooooh party on! I thought it was a vodka or something" hahaha and she laughed then I said "Why don't you get drunk? That would be fun?" And she totally burst out laughing and was like "Do you want to turn me into a party animal or something?" and we were like yeahhh!!! Hahaha.

And then I whispered to Tori "Ask her about which PCD kissed Lady Gaga" And Tori was like "No you ask her" And Kim was like "EXCUUUUSE ME, what do you want to ask me???" And we were like "ehhhhh...." And Tori said "Rachel just wanted to know which Pussycat Doll kissed Lady Gaga?" And Kim was like "Oh, I actually don't know!!" And Tori was like "Ohh...Rachel thought it was you!!!" (Thanks Tori...lol) And Kim was like "Noo it wasn't me" and I said "Tori thinks it was Jess" Then I asked if Jess was better and Kim said "She text me the other day saying she's fully healed now!!" And I was like "Aww yay!!! So if you were doing a show tonight, she would be able to perform?" And she was like "Yup!!!" And I was like "Gooood, I miss her!!!!" And Kim was like "Me tooo!!" Hehe.

And Kim saw my necklace and was touching it lol and said "Oooh I like this" hehe which was nice, lol.

Then we went back to the stage and watched from the side. We were literally like 5 feet away from Diversity performing, they are soooo good!! Then Kim went on stage and said some stufff, and then the show finished and we went to say bye to Kim and she gave us all a hug and told us to have a safe trip hoooome. And that was that!
