OH MY GOD. That is literally the only way to describe the day I had today. It started with me skipping down the street singing “I’m going to meet John Green!” and ended with me almost pinching myself to make sure the experience I’d just had wasn’t a dream. John Green is the most awesome person... ever.
The session started with talks by the other three authors, Bernard Beckett, Mo Johnson and M.T. Anderson who are all amazing. I’m definitely adding their books to my list. After that there was a short break were I went to the table and John Green signed all my books!
He asked me how to spell my name and asked if I was a nerdfighter and while he signed my books I talked to him about how the Black Santa thing is on page 24 of Paper Towns. Afterwards I went to sit on a table against the wall and I was still in his view. I pulled out The Key to the Golden Firebird by Maureen Johnson which is the book I’m currently reading and he saw me.
He said “Don’t move. Keep reading.” I was wondering what was going on but I did as he said and he pulled out his iPhone and took a picture. I was like “Can I ask what that was for?” and he was like “I’m going to send it to Maureen. She’s like, my best friend.” And inside I was just going “OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!” There is a picture of me on John Green’s iPhone! OH MY GOD!
John Green talked next and I loved his rant about Twilight and how everyone is going to die. I hope he didn’t notice me sneakily take a picture of him at the very beginning of the session. I know, I’m a stalker. Get over it. I filmed his entire talk and will be watching the footage over and over.
Before my session I literally ran into Nat, Anita and Jess on the street and their friend Mary. I had almost given up hope of meeting them when there they were. We went to Hungry Jacks and ate our food on a bench and I really hope Nat sends me that picture her mum took. It was epic.
Anyway, I had one of the most awesome days of my life and CANNOT wait until the nerdfighter gathering on Sunday. I’m jizzing in my pants here, seriously. Speaking of which, did you know there is actually a song called Jizz in My Pants? I didn’t until quite recently.
