Still on a MIKA high.
It's 3am and I'm still up. Wooooooooooooooooo!!!
Pictures will come next post. This post is all words, just like the last. So be cautious.
Once again, important people are bolded/italicized
Ryan & Yu picked us up at around 7 ish. We passed the entrance to the freeway. Okay. 15 min later we found another entrance. It was fine until we got to Hollywood. We passed right by Virgin Megastore where MIKA's show was gonna be. Yeah, we passed. We saw an entrance to parking, but Ryan passed it, so he thought he could turn a street corner and go around. Everything turned out to be One-Way, so we ended up on the freeway, going further further North. I was freaking out. It was only 8 but still. Then he took an exit, tried to find another freeway to go back.. he ended up going on the same freeway. Twice, lmfaoooo. But eventually we got there, luckily we found a parking structure with lots of parking. Eeep. I went potty and then I realized "HOLY CRAP MY PHONE'S IN THE CAR". So Ryan and I rushed to get our phones cuz he left his too. Actually, I was rushing he was like "ohh myy gawwd Julia." We stopped by a coffee shop and after I ordered I was getting really hyped up already. Totally didn't need coffee to get me hyper but I got some anyway. For that extra OOMPH in me. YEAH.
Then Liz called me(she and Yu) were already in line and she said, "Hey you better come quick, MIKA just came out of a limo." and just on time my orders came, so I RANNN.. and he was gone. =( But I sat and finished making my sign. Yu kept saying how crappy it was and he said he'd make a better one. So when he did, he and I started asking around about what sign was better. It ended up as a tie. MIKA was going to be our definite tie-breaker. I met two cool people in line, Natsume and Marvin. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I should've asked for their myspaces and stuff because they were totally awesome!!! =(
While we were waiting, two woman on stilts came out and they were making balloon animal/swords. "Mika wants everyone to have balloons!" and later an employee came out with lollipops (sucking too hard on your lollipop, ohhhh love's gonna get you downnnn). AMAZING.
Yu and I then proceeded to hold up signs to the passing cars. "HONK IF YOU &HEARTS; MIKA". WE GOT SEVEN HONKS BABYYYYY. <333333333333333333333333333 At first we were about to leave the street and be humiliated BUT NO the first honker honked and WE GOT HOPE. YESSS YESYRTSLEJAGH
AND THEN. Something so random happened. AJ McLEAN FROM THE BACKSTREET BOYS PASSED BY. He was all "Hey, who's playing tonight?!" Oh gawwdd Liz and I were freaking out. We got a pic with him. and he was like "MIKA?! That's so awesome!!" And after he left the guys were laughing at us. STFU THIS IS LIKE 1/5 OF A DREAM COME TRUE.
We got shirts too. From that oh-so-cool radio station STAR 98.7. Lol they said MIKA came by the station earlier, and I asked them if MIKA had a sore throat(cuz Yu told me that) and then they were like "He was fine earlier" and I proceeded to smack Yu. And the DJs were like "YOU DON'T DESERVE ONE" ahahahahahahahahhahahaha
So then we get in. I am SO. CLOSE. TO. THE STAGE. A row of camera men, and then me. EEEEEEEEEEEEEP LDSHGLAHL;SJFD. So while we waited, we were entertained with happy, weird pop-ish songs that everyone knew ("We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz!") And I talked to one of the paparazzi dudes. He showed me a pic of MIKA from earlier that evening from when he had dinner in Beverly Hills. Awwww.
So the radio DJ(CAN I HAVE YOUR JOB?!) introduced blue-haired Perez Hilton who introduced MIKA loll right when he got on stage, the four cameramen in front of me were flashing like MAD. Poor MIKA didn't know where to look, lmao. BUT one of the camera men decided to move RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and MIKA was already starting Grace Kelly. The guy was HUGE AND TALL and I was gonna cry. But by the next song he moved, and me and everyone behind me were like "OH THANK GOD". I think the next song was My Interpretation. I filmed this next one:
~~LOVE TODAY~~
Okay, here is where the video is supposed to be. Good quality in audio and video, except it's a bit wobbly because I was dancing too fdslhkj but YOUTUBE WON'T LET ME UPLOAD IT. So I'm trying Photobucket now.
Then he performed Billy Brown. He said that no one though they were going to let him put it on the US album. And then he said "FUCK THAT". I think it was either that song or the one before where I sang along, and MIKA saw me singing, and we were TOTALLY SINGING ALONG TOGETHERL SDAHGASL;FJSDAHGKLASKFHLGLSAKJ
Then he left. And came back. We were shouting for him to sing Big Girl or Lollipop. Someone in the crowd said, "Lollipops forever!" in a really camp way, it was funny lfdshaglj.
So his last one was Stuck in the Middle He scatted at the end, ohhh it was amazing. I was telling Tessa when I called her that there's always those moments in a show where you just have to stop dancing, stop singing along, and just stare and take in the amazingness of the artist. MIKA'a eyes were closed whenever he sang, and he was always bouncing in his seat like a happy little bouncy boy. His curls bounced too oh he's so gorgeous. His guitarist was the same. They are both so upbeat, MIKA you are incredible.
So I had a sign, right? "MIKA FANGIRL" it said. It was decorated and stuff to look like the album cover kinda. I held it up throughout the show but he never saw it. But at the end of the show, I held it up one last time, and MIKA saw it!! And you know what he did? HE LEANED FORWARD AND SNATCHED IT FROM ME!!!! LMAO THAT SIGN STEALER <333
Then the employees directed everyone to the exit and start a line for the signing. Yu, Liz, Ryan, and I, we RAN RANRAN LIKE THE WIND. And we were in line.
Eeee, Liz called Danie and I permitted to spaz to her. I called Tessa too, who just saw Lily Allen so we were both equally spazzing. =) It was definitely hard to hear both of them cuz the surrounding was so loud.
But I had to hang up when I got into the store, and eeeeeeeeeeeee I got the CD! And I went into the line. No photography. But LOL. OKAY SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN FRONT OF MIKA.
Julia: ~waddles over to him, MIKA smiles~
MIKA: Hey, you have a balloon. ~goofy giggle~ (lmao)
J: I know! Hey dude, you took my sign.
M: Oh! ~surprised. and he stares at me lol~
J: Yeah, that was mine!
M: I loved it!
J: Well, thank you!
M: Am I allowed to keep it?
J: Totally! ... but you need to give me a hug.
M: Haha... okay. Name?
J: ~I tell him and he signs the back of the CD booklet, and puts a halo over his head and signs the CD too~
M: ~HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~
j: Oh! And my friends Tessa and Danie love you and we want you to have a US tour!!!
M: ~Thumbs up~
J: ~me waves... and stumbles into a balloon~
They wouldn't let me keep the wristband. =(((((( I WOULD'VE WORN IT TILL THE END OF FOREVER. But the woman was kind enough to let me keep the bit with MIKA's logo.
Ahh so that's all. Ryan was behind me and he said they were rushing him(I think it was my fault, lmfaofhdslghlskj) and Yu and LIz were like "dude you took a while with him." And I realized that my face was breaking out ew.
BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. ♥
PS Yu showed MIKA his sign and then MIKA kept it. Yu told me later on that MIKA said that Yu's sign > My sign. WHATEVER FOO. I GOT A HUG. Plus I'd like to think MIKA said that to him only to boost his morale. Ahahaha. ♥ You rock, though, Yu. MIKA FANS BABYYYY. We converted Liz and Ryan =D
PPS Andy Dick was there too. Woot!
