| really sad story about my trip to london |
| rightyho...this is the story of when i went to london on october 13th ....unlucky number...i know it's really long but it's a true story and it's wrth reading it....anyhoo I NEED SYMPATHY...cos i still have not fully recovered...please read it though.. |
| it all started when i was supposed to go in may to see cats...that was postponed due to our holiday...i also couldn't check the jacob brent fan page or any other page on jake which meant i had nooo idea that jake was in cats...NUUUUU....then my sis was goin down to london at the end of september to see victoria wood and i was supposed to go then aswell...this was also cancelled....well i was on the internet when they were in london and i discovered that jake really WAS in cats again and so i quickly rang up the stage door to comfirm this and they said he was and i asked when his last performance was and they said 13th october...don't call me cheeky for this next part...i rang up the booking office and booked a second row seat for me and a cheapie for my mum without asking anyone (i was home alone) well anyways when my mum got home she was pretty frustrated cos she had bought tickets for november front row and a cats kids club thingy...well we went to a LOT of hassle to get these cancelled and pay for the other tickets and so on but we managed in the end the bus journey was AUFUL, we traveled on friday night (we were going to the saturday matinee) and i had to sit next to a complete stranger who was fat and stunk of bananas and took up half my seat...plus i live on the border of scotland so it was a VERY LONG journey..well we finally got to london and my mum wouldn't let me go straight to cats because she wasn't prepared to wait outside the stage door for that long ( it was just after 6 when we arrived) so we hung around london for a while before my mum couldn't stand me asking for the time every 5 mins and i was bouncing around like a loony (excited cos i was finally gonna meet jake) and so she took me (it was about 11 then) so we waited and waited and waited and i met these 2 old ladies at the stage door who were good friends with whatshisname who played old deuteronomy...they asked me who i came to meet and i said jacob brent and they said that they didn't think he was in it anymore....my heart skipped a beat and my legs turned to stone here... they could see that i was deeply upset here so they went indoors to ask if he was still in it....now normally i would be booing my eyes out but i couldn't cry, my dream had just been crushed....and they came out with bad news...he had left on tuesday the 9th October....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the old ladies asked all the cast members who stopped to chat if they knew anything about him..the guy who played old deut knew that he left back to america on friday...the man who was also there..steve i think he was called (he told me who was who when they walked past) went inside to ask if there was any signed photos or anything lying around..there wasn't...eventually i went inside the stage door with my mum ( she knew how obbsessed i am) and they said come down here at the interval and they'll see if they could get anything by then.. a very sad and distracted me waited to get some autographs..i got most of the castmembers autographs!! yay and i got my photo taken with jason gardiner!!! he was really friendly...john partridge walked straight past me carrying a computer...i was confused too...most of the cast members couldn't hear me when i asked for thier autographs, i had gone all quiet (this is highly unusual for me) and my voice was all croaky...well anyways... the performance was quite depressing to be honest..i had a really fat lady infront of me so i couldn't see a thing...always helpful...and a little girl who kept on talking to the fat lady explaining all the caracters and the plot and all the surprises...hmph...not that i didn't know them all myself anyways...i was lonely because i didn't have my mum next to me to comfort me..all i could think about was the fact that i had missed jake by 4 days...painful...all that hassle for nothing...mistoffelees did wave at me during the curtain calls but that was it really...i got hit of the head with a tail aswell...hmph... well during the interval we went to the stage door and she didn't manage to find anything...she took our address and promised to write if she did but she never has..hmph....i got given free face paint though..hoohaa....the only problem was that i had just bought myself some...everyone was really nice to me but no one could cheer me up...i didn't eat all that day and i didn't eat for about a week..i couldn't put my mind to anything afterwards...i sorta made myself ill by this aswell...i got into a lot of trouble at school for not doing hwk etc...my so called 'friends' at school found out about it during p.e. and they still make fun of me for it to this very day...it's only a joke but it sparks bad memories....YOU MUST NOW AT ME ON THE BACK AND FEEL SORRY FOR ME....almost meeting him is worse that not meeting him..i assure you |
