I MET ADAM FUCKING LAMBERT AND I THINK I AM DEAD OR SOMETHING
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Guys guys, this is crazy. I got to meet Adam and he shook my hand and smiled at me. And when I walked away, I burst into tears and sobbed on my friend's shoulder. It was kinda absurd and amazing.
So here's how it went down. As I;'m sure many know, DonorsChoose is running the Glam A Classroom project. We were told that if you donated, you could maybe win a Meet and Greet with Adam. I have donated on and off through their page with the Badgers group, so pretty recently, I donated a bit again. As many of you also know, I have spent the past 2 weeks in a haze of Glam Nation shows.
On Tuesday, the night of the Providence show, DonorsChoose sent me an email asking if I had a ticket to the Staten Island show (last night) because they wanted to meet some of their supporters. Now, I was basically mentally checked out by then. I think I may have seen the email, but I didn't read it.
Now skip to Monday morning. I am driving from one show in Albany to last night's in Staten Island and a friend of mine reveals to someone in the car that they are going to meet and greet, but that it is very hush-hush. At that point, I remember the email from DonorsChoose.. which I never answered. So I freaked out and sent her a DM on twitter asking if it was from DC. She said it was and I nearly burst into tears on the highway. We pulled over into a rest stop and desperation took over.
I emailed all 3 people on the original email, explaining that I had been traveling and just got the email. I asked if it was too late. I gushed about their charity (which I honestly love, but this was perhaps laying it on a bit thick). When I got one of the staff girls' out-of-office, I called the number she listed and left a phone message. I gave them my cell number.
Yes, I was desperate. I knew that if I'd messed up my one in a lifetime chance.. I would hate myself forever. All 3 people in that car basically watched me slowly try not to break down and cry. lol I am a mess.
Basically, this has been an amazing 2 weeks.. but by yesterday I was totally stretched thin. Physically I am a mess... and I was slowly turning into an emotional mess too.
Finally, an hour after my initial contact, one of the assistant girls emailed me back to say that they would check if there was space... AND THEN CONTACT ME IN A FEW HOURS. Now, I was still driving and the thought of waiting 2+ hours was hurting me. Plus, we were driving into the heart of NYC, which is stressful anyway. Then...... sometime around 3pm.... while I'm trying to find Penn Station... I got the email with info on where to go. I flailed. A lot. I almost cried again.
Then we got to Staten Island (which is kinda scary?) and I had a beer on an empty stomach and inhaled a quesadilla. Basically... I was tipsy and felt like hurling the whole way to the meet and greet restaurant. xDDDD But it's ok. The restaurant was soooo random. Totally tiny, very strange. They didn't even have a separate room for him to meet us.
SO we sat.. and waited. ...and waited. ...and waited some more. (lol adam is always late). The founder of DC said some lovely words about the charity and everything Adam has done for it. Through his charity pages, we have donated near half a MILLION dollars. I beamed when he said that. Basically Adam fans are amazing. :') I talked to some very lovely ladies at a table while we were waiting too. It's awesome hearing fellow fans talk about him and how much they love him. :)
Anyway, I was basically shaking the whole time. I couldn't even eat any of the food that DC so kindly provided us with.
Funny story, they decided to go alphabetical. WHich means.. I WAS FIRST.
He came in and brushed right past me. and oh my god i shared air with him. It was incredibly overwhelming. So I went up and introduced myself and shook his hand. And he smiled at me and said it was nice to meet me. And after that initial handshake I couldn't even make eyecontact anymore. So I pulled the GLAMKIWIS out of my bag... and babbled something about how they represented some friends from New Zealand. And that they were sad that he wasn't gonna be down there. He said something to the effect of "well we might still be going down there" with a big smile (don't give up hope guys!) and then we got a pic, i made him hold one of the kiwis. :D
And then I thanked him again..... AND WALKED AWAY. I was halfway gone when I realized that I FORGOT TO ASK HIM TO SIGN SOMETHING. So I like turned really quick and was like "waityouneedtosignsomething!" and he looked... kinda confused? And then I practically flung my bag at him to sign. And omg I am hanging the bag on my wall.
And then I ran to where tarted_up was in line and burst into tears on her shoulder. Like... sobbing...
I am such a moron.
The End.
ps - I just bought a VIP package on the fan club site. So I am meeting him again in FL... and this time I am getting the hug I forgot to ask for. :x
