wow.
ok so please know that none of this is made up. all of this really happend and pictures are under the cut.
so i took off today to get some sleep and head into new york city to attempt to finally meet a huge idol to me, Pete Wentz. after many failed attempts at shows (letterman 2x, the today show, TRL, saturday night live, the VMA's) and all have failed and it hasnt upset me and today i am certaintly not upset.
i woke up to the rustling of my mother going through my coffee table and then the sound of her throwing a package on my coffee table and leaving for work. i flipped over, and saw a white tshirt envelope from FedEX and was like "No WAY!" and it was my black and white Hemingway shirt my mom bought me after i recieved a very large one the week before. all i could think about was "This must be a sign or something, how weird is it i get this the day im meeting pete wentz." i got some chinese for lunch and ate and then showered and got ready. i missed my 1:39 express but the event wasnt until 4PM so i wasnt rushing or angry i missed it. i took the next one which luckily was an express. i got off at 3:06 and went up to macys at the corner and went to juniors 4. i didnt see anyone who looked like FOB fans at all while going up and i was afraid i had the wrong day, or the wrong place or SOMETHING. but i got up and there was the Clandestine section with music blaring and i walked up to two girls and i said "Are you guys here for the pete wentz thing?" and they said "Yeah" and im like "Ok, so .. do we get to meet him or something?" and they said "Well .. you have to buy something from the collection and they give you a ticket at your purchase and you get to meet him."
My whole paycheck went into it, i found a hoodie and it was the cheapest thing i found. $80. Yeah. But it was so worth it and i really like it so i think ill keep it. So my number was 138 and i got to meet him around 4:40PM.
We start to go up and im all calm and cool surrounded by screaming girls in short shorts and MRS WENTZ handmade tshirts, and im in my new black and white Hemingway shirt and im the only one on line in the new merchandise from the store such as the new hemingway shirt. So i go there and i wait until the girl in front of me is done which didnt take too long. i walk up with jello legs but my personality isnt like "OMG I LOVE YOU" and ripping his hands off his wrists and crying. I walked up and simply said "Hi!" and before i could walk up to his table on the platform he smiles and points "Ha! I LOVE YOUR SHIRT! Thank you for buying it!" I guess also because its dedicated to Ernest Hemingway, but Hemmingway is the name of Pete's dog too lol! Pete signs a poster of him and the DKNY/Clandestine model. I told him about my brother taking the tickets to their Jones Beach show and i coudlnt go, and he goes "Aw im sorry!" He hands me the poster and stands up from the chair and gives me a hug,!! He gave the girls behind me hugs too. But he tried to tell me something and i have no idea what he was saying to me so i asked on the Q&A site for FOB's site, but i think he was telling me "I have one too" or something, but hopefully pete accepts my question to post it with his answer.
sadly, they offered us to take pictures WITH pete but they decided to end it at number 70 or 80-something becuse it was taking to long. i dont care, im sure ill get to meet pete again one day, but until then ill cherish today for a long time.
