Writing all this down for my own memories, so I don't forget it. It was a good time. :)

I didn't go nearly as far on this vacation, didn't even leave the state, but being in Hollywood and at the beach made it feel like I was far away. An entire week off of work, a Big Time Rush concert with my BFF...what more can I ask?

Oh my God.  Oh my God.  I met James and Logan today.  I actually touched them and hugged them and talked to them and I saw Carlos and Kendall, stood near them and I just...al;kdghahgksjflkhglhgklljsdkgjdlghljflsdkjlsdkjg.  I witnessed a tiny sliver of Jagan, I mean you can just FEEL it when they're together, they have this connection, I watched them walking and talking and I can't even deal.  I didn't expect that.  It was brief, my time with them was so brief and happened so fast but I got what I wanted and I saw what I wanted but never expected to see and now I can die happy.  The one thing on my bucket list happened today.

I HUGGED JAMES MASLOW.  


 

Thursday was the most amazing day ever. I did a twitlonger about the Paramount tour, so I won't really include it here, but again—standing in the Palm Woods lobby. Sitting in the Audition theater. Standing next to the pool. THE POOL. No words.

We woke up all excited. I didn't want to eat because I knew my stomach would be a mess, but we did eat a donut each and drink some coffee. Which was all free, yay! We checked out of the motel (where we both cracked up again dealing with Hotel Guy) and walked down to the Paramount Studios again, checked in at the security desk and were told we had to wait about 20 min. No prob. We went back out and Kathryn took pics of the hedges again, better angles. We were both shaking, I mean...we might get to see the sets! We might get to see the BOYS! We went back in and bought tickets and went on the tour, which I won't write about again here. It was awesome, and you all need to do it. We did not see the boys, but they weren't on set yet anyway. Late night shoots and all. :)

After the Paramount tour, we walked down to Astro Burger to kind of calm down. I couldn't eat, my stomach was crazy with butterflies. We just kept saying “We were there.” Like over and over. I still can't believe it. I touched Bitters' desk. I knocked over a prop. We even saw a script laying on a table and were SO tempted to sneak it, but tour guide was watching us all pretty close. The script belonged to Nathan somebody. So we sat in Astro Burger and just...fangirled.

Oh! Totally forgot that on Wed. we spent a few hours searching out that Metro station again where James and Carlos were (because the sign said Wilshire so we knew it was on that street). We walked and walked and never found it. While touring Paramount, WE FOUND IT. It's on the lot, same block as Rocque Records, which we knew but they made the damn staircase look so real on the show I was like “No way is that fake.” It totally was. So that was part of our Wednesday too.

We caught a bus on Santa Monica that took us to the train station, and the rest of Thursday was spent getting home. Stupid trains, I swear. We got home too late to go cash my paycheck like I'd planned, but we did manage to bus it to my store to pick up my check. Then we took a bus back to the mall and had dinner at Brandon's Diner, which is where I tweet from all the time. I now have a local place I can go to when I miss Kathryn so much it hurts (like right now) because we were there together. We had a nice dinner, took the bus home, and spent the rest of the night watching BTR stuff. I ate Cheez-Its with cheese. It's as good as she always says it is. We laid in the dark and talked for hours about our vacation, and then roomie came home and we talked with her for a short time. We finally fell asleep around 2 A.M.

BEST DAY EVER.

XOXOXO

Friday was the saddest. Woke up early, went with roomie to take the girls to school and cash my check, then came home to pick up Kathryn and take her to the airport. I can't even write about that because it was honestly the most horrible feeling. I cried all the way home. I cried while shopping in my store a little later. I cried after coming home. I couldn't stop crying because I never wanted it to end. I miss her like crazy. I'm crying right now. Spent the day moping. Sleeping. Moping some more. But Kathryn made it home safe and we chatted a tiny bit and then she went to bed and I stayed up writing more James/Logan. Finished my one-shot. Might post it someday, I'm not really sure. It's RPS and I'm a little weird about posting that stuff, but it HAD to get out of my brain. So. Yeah. That was my vacation.

I MISS YOU KATHRYN.
