(Sorry in advance for any misspellings, keep in mind that I’m Norwegian so English is not my first language. Besides it’s been a long day and I’m quite tired at the moment so my brain gets a bit foggy)
Today it is four years since I met Tarjei and David for the first time! (I’ve only met David once, but met Tarjei twice in total)I still remember the day like it was yesterday.
I had been in a facebook group for skam fans for quite some time and had decided to step out of my comfort zone and meet up with a bunch of other fans at Ett Bord, and then later at a place called «Dattera Til Hagen» (I think it was called).
We had only been at Ett Bord for a little while when Siv (Henrik Holm’s mom) came to us and told us that she had a surprise for us. She said that Henrik could unfortunately not be there himself, but she had another surprise visit for us.
At Ett Bord it is several benches around a long table (or it was as Ett Bord ended up having to close down due to covid) and I were seated with my back against the wall, facing the windows. I felt an excitement around the table and as I turned around I looked straight at TARJEI!
I couldn’t believe my own two eyes, felt my heart skip a beat and I’m sure I must have had my jaw on my toes!
For a few seconds I were not sure if he were actually there right in front of me! I don’t remember exactly but I think I managed to stutter a «hello» through all the emotions going through my body.
A few minutes later I noticed David standing by the counter, and I got shocked all over again! He said hello from where he were standing.
(They had another friend with them as well, but I don’t remember his name at the moment)
With us at Ett Bord were another Skam fan that had come all the way from Korea (I think) and she had this book with drawings that she’s been drawing. She talked to Tarjei for a while after he had said hello to us, and all the time I were like sitting there thinking «did this actually happen, or am I dreaming?»
After a while the boys went outside to the long table outside of Ett Bord.
I were thinking that it would be so amazing to be able to take a photo with David and Tarjei, but I didn’t know if I would even dare to or if I would be too starstrucked.
Some of us were debating whether or not we should go outside and ask for a photo, and after a while we went out.
At first we took a group photo, with all of us in it (I won’t post it due to privacy) and then we stood in line to get a photo with the boys by ourselves.
I were the last one in line and it seemed like David were about to wal away when I asked if I could please get a photo too. They said yes and as the photo were taken I think that the only word I managed to get out were athank you»
That day is one of the best days in my entire life! I did not only get to know tons of beautiful human beings through SKAM, but I also got to meet Tarjei and David!
