An Evening with Noel Fielding Write-up... Finally
I've been promising a report and I have yet to write it. I'm doing nothing all that special (other than finding pretty pictures of said man and posting them for you all but I can do that any time ;) ) so I should just get to posting this. This will be a report on the Seattle show, I'll write about the Vancouver one later.
I originally planned to go to the Seattle show at around 4pm but after seeing @messiah-for-the-animals post that she and her group would be there at noon I decided to aim for as close to then as I could. She ended up not arriving until about 4pm, herself. I am very thankful she said she'd be there earlier otherwise I'd have missed a great moment in my life. For that I thank her. :)
I arrive at the venue at a bit past 2pm and start talking to the other line dwellers (as we came to call ourselves.. or am I the only one :D ). Everyone was fantastic. I loved chatting with everyone. I am usually so shy in social situations (unless I've known someone for a while, then I'm as hyper as all get out) but the vibe was so good I just got along with everyone so well. I probably behaved a bit silly or said some stupid things but I couldn't help it, I was totally digging it.
Aren't those dolls amazing?? I am totally scrounging together some monies and getting myself a set. And the painting! So cool. Still don't know what it means though. ;)
So us fangirls and boys were just hanging around when Bri's mom goes "Hey, isn't that...?"... "Yeah, that's Noel" The speed at which people's heads swiveled was amazing. I think we all might still have some whiplash. We jumped to our feet and took a couple steps forward, calling out a hi. He stopped and smiled and said "I'm not here for you lot", then laughs. We beckon him ('cause we're sirens, obvs :P ). I can't remember who it was but someone said "Come say hi, there's only a few of us". Which wasn't a lie, I think there were 10, if that, in total, waiting at that point. So he does! Not only is it him but Mike is there too!
Taylor tells Noel she needs a hug and I go "I think we all do", because I'm cheeky like that. *winkwinknudgenudge* Say no more.
After Tay got her hug I went in to hug him but the way I was reaching Mike misunderstood and thought I was going to shake his hand. I felt so bad. I did stop midway what I was doing and shook his hand, told him it was nice to meet him... then went back to hug Noel.
I am not trying to sound vain here, or weird (though I probably sound both) but I think he and I look totally cute together. It could just be that we have batteling cheekbones, pale skin, dark hair, and blue eyes (even if you can't see his). I also love that it looks like we're about to burst out laughing. I was SO nervous and awkward. When I handed off my phone to someone to take a picture (I can't even remember who it was, it was a blur, nearest person to me got the brand new phone to take the picture with and I could only hope they didn't run off with it XD ). The gal who took the picture laughed, telling me I was shaking. I hadn't even noticed. Oh, me.
Did I mention he thought my necklace was cool? Cause he did. Also, I'm calling them Field Shields. This one's name is Noel Shielding. I'm considering making them for the general public.
I also snagged a picture with Mike. He's a sweetheart as well. I didn't realise just how much shorter he would be than me. I'm 5'7" and was wearing three inch heels. It doesn't look like much of a difference her but I might have bent down a bit. >_^ Is that considered rude? I'm never sure what to do when the person is quite a bit shorter than me. I tend to tilt at the waist so I lean toward them at an angle, making me nearer to their height. Otherwise, his head would have been way too near the... Field Shield, if ya know what I mean. lol
Okay, I'm going to pause this here and write up the next bit in a separate post as it's getting quite long with all the pics and my blathering.
