So just wanted to share my One Direction experience with you all….(IF ANY OF YOU STEAL ANY OF THESE PHOTOS I WILL PERSONALLY SHOOT YOU.)
I can remember saying to one of my best friends while watching the X Factor at her house “God I love these guys they’re going to go so far!” I watched them everyweek on the X Factor and grew to love them more and more every week. Yes I was a fan from the very beginning.
I even took this picture of Liam’s audition…
However when they reached the final I didn’t want them to win because on X Factor most of the time the acts that don’t win do better than the ones that do and I knew One Direction were going to do great without the X Factor and from the looks of things they’ve done better by not winning!
I made my twitter account and joined the 1Dfamily and that’s where my journey began :’)
I went to the X Factor Live Tour at the MEN in Manchester and saw One Direction live. Awesome day! I don’t think I’ve ever screamed so much in my life, lost my voice completely but it was worth it because I had seen the live and they were amazing!
I tried none stop every day for nearly a year to get one of them to notice me on twitter, I didn’t care how just so they knew I followed them and I existed.
I was beginning to loose hope as they gained more and more fans until the 9th of June when I got home from school one day I noticed Niall was online so I decided to tweet him. I wasn’t even spamming him just asking him random questions and asking him to follow me and stuff. I has even thought he had gone offline so refreshed the page to check if he had tweeted anymore and that’s when I saw it.
On the old twitter when someone followed you back you got a little envelope on their page which mean’t you could now DM them, I refreshed Niall’s profile and BAMN there it was the little envelope….I had a slight panic attack.
My mum came rushing upstairs asking if I was okay form my screaming, I could hardly breath and was ringing up everyone, one of the best days of my life to know he noticed me :’)
Then on the 17th of August Eloise my best friend and I decidced to head to Leeds which is quite near where we live because the boys were in the middle of their radio tour and where comign to Capital Radio in Leeds.
We took the train, printed out all the directions and everything and then headed to capital radio…only to get lost. Which was apparently my fault because I was reading the directions the wrong way around as if we were coming from Capital radio. We asked so many randomers for help and made them feel stupid for not knowing where they lived before we found Capital.
We met up with a few girls from twitter and waited for hours to see them. It was a great day just to be surrounded by directioners.
^^ A few of the girls there that day (If you see yourself message me please!)
^^My best friend Eloise (Left) and Liv from twitter (Right)
And then the bloody damn silver car came.
A roar of screams began and I nearly died I swear to god, they had to go quickly in and it was quite crazy so they were called in first and we were told to go in a line. Everyone was busy sorting themselves out to notice Niall looking out the window so I waved at him and he smiled and gave me a cheery wave back before being called back in. I melted….and then when they came out they went along the line of people quickly because it was crazy, when Zayn came to me first I got elbowed back so missed him, then when Harry came and he went to sign my poster but the security grabbed him and shoved him in the car, then Liam came he knelt by me for a photo quickly but I got shoved and took a picture of the window instead and then he was gone, when Louis and Niall came they got grabbed into the van so quick, I was gutted.
Then out of the blue I saw them pick up some doughnut boxes they pointed out to us all and security handed me and my friend a box of doughnuts and a few other fans that didn’t get a chance a different box, I stood grinning for ages!
They waved good bye and left and I swear to god I was on cloud 100 :’) I shared the doughnuts but still have the box to this very day :L
That was the day my ovaries really did blow up.
DEADDEADDEAD
^Niall’s Guitar right there
^Yes that right there is Harry’s curl. I decided it stead of grabbing it I would take a picture. No this is not zoomed in.
^This is the picture I ended up taking that was meant to be of Liam and I until some bitch nudged me. -_-
asdfghjkl
^ Just after this picture my friend went to reach out for something and ended up ‘tripping’ as she says causing her to grab that sexy damn bicep of his. :L
^Louis just casually waving at us asdfghj
His face ahahah! this was when he was picking a pen that face gets me every time!
I thought pink actually suited him.
THE BLOODY CUTENESS OH MY DAYS!
Yes they are the flipping doughnuts omnomnomnom.
And then while I was watching the One Direction documentary and my emotions were off the bloody scale I saw myself on it! ASFGKJH.
^^Highlighted in yellow is me and my best friend, yes she looks a bit like a caveman and will probably kill me for this :L
Next on the 18th of January I went to *drum roll*…THE UP ALL NIGHT TOUR! AHHHH.
So basically I had maybe been counting down like the freaking seconds because I was so excited and I’m 100% sure the night before I hardly got any sleep at all!
On that day it was a wednesday and I was being made to go to school but only for half the day because me and the girls I was going with are awesome planning little things aha!
Going to school for the rest of my class mates I can safely say must have been hell for them as all they heard come out of my mouth were screams, facts of One Direction, how excited I was, me singing all the songs, me staring at the clock every five seconds saying how long is left till I COULD GET THE HELL OUT etc.
Yes the poor people but ahh well!
We left just after lunch time, there was my best mate Eloise and two other girls who I came closer too after that trip who are also directioners called Fran and Jenny and then there was me. So with four excited teenagers screaming quite a lot they were happy to see us go.
We left for Blackpool which was about an hour and bit away form where we live but we got there soon and went straight to the back door which we found easy thank to some lovely girls.
Carrying our tour sign through Blackpool well I think it is safe to say we got some unusual looks when it looked like this…
Yes, it does say ‘When Tommo screws his light bulb it turns us on’ ;)
Yeah we got some weird looks with that sign ahah
But when we got to the backstage door there wasn’t that many people at all and we were able to fit in quite close to the front of the barriers where we started talking to some really nice girls.
THE TOUR BUS! (it said BUS and I thought that was cool :L)
Us at the front of the barrier with some of the girls we met.
We also met the amazing Steve and Paddy their security for the night! LOVED THESE GUYS.
Us with good old Steve WE LOVE STEVE.
They spoke to us for most of the three hours we spent in the cold or should I say Steve did for most of it as Paddy was being a bit of a grump.
We sang One Direction songs with him and had a blast!
Steve had told us and everyone else the boys wouldn’t be coming out because they were too busy so most of the people left but we stayed for a bit.
We had a really good view of the entrance and where they got on and off the bus and we saw….
ZAYN COMING OFF AFTER A LITTLE SLEEP IN GORGEOUS JOGGERS AND A HAT.
NIALL AND LIAM COMING ON AND OFF AND THEY WAVED AT US BOTH TIMES (no one had really seen them but us because we were like stood in shock waving back at them and there was hardly anyone else) GOD THEY LOOKED HOT.
AND THEN HARRY COMES OUT IN HIS FREAKING LONG SEXY COAT AND SEX GREY BEANIE AND WAVED. ohmygod I died there and then.
We never saw Louis or got to talk to them but it was just amazing to see them ashjsdfghjk.
Steve had to go for a bit to get something for him and Paddy to drink because it was getting freezing so we went on a mission to get Paddy to talk.
Yes we succeded we made him laugh and talk to us a bit plus he felt sorry for us so he gave us his coffee.
Fran with Paddy’s coffee.
PADDY’S COFFEE! AHH WE LOVE PADDY FOR THIS.
We had a great time but we had to go so we said bye to Paddy and told him to say bye it Steve because he hadn’t come back out and well we had turned into Steve’s groupies.
PADDY!
STEVE!
We went inside and got the merchandise and everything and got people looking at us quite a lot because we were carrying around the world’s biggest most obvious sign and I later found out that some of the people looking and who I saw were actually from Tumblr and Twitter and recognised me :’)
IF ANYONE EVER SEES ME AT ONE OF THESE EVENTS COME SAY HI.
Just before going in we met up with some other girls from our school who had different seats to us.
Me, Fran and Flick another girl from our school.
AND THEN WE WENT IN.
We had quite good seats in the circle and a good view but we went out to this little balcony to get a better view and once again we saw PADDY AND STEVE they were helping out!
We tried to get Paddy’s attention but he didn’t see us but Steve did and he spoke to us just before :’)
Our friends Fran and Jenny had seats on the balcony also and were sat next to some of Louis family like his uncle and half sister :D who were really nice!
The night started and it was one of the best nights of my life! There is so much to tell but I’m just going to put it simple in a list.
THE INTRO.
Was one of the best nights of my life and that is not even an understatement.
Now here are some photos I took WARNING IF YOU STEAL I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU.
Just because them hands made me LOL when I took this.
Sat around the camp fire :’)
Look at them just stood together nearly in the same position!

Then another date to add on to my One Direction experience was the 31st of May. It was the day of the #1DVDWatchParty where everyone including One Direction pressed play on their 1D Live Tour DVDs and had a little watch party together. This included One Direction posting tweets, RT’ing fans and following.
So I absolutely adore the DVD no matter how many times I watch it I fangirl beyond belief because it brings back all the memories and well…GODS ARE ON MA TELLY.
AND THERE ARE TOPLESS SCENES!
Must I say anything else?
Anyway I was looking forward to this anyway and was having a massive tweeting session, not thinking any of them would notice since my whole twitter feed was basically doing the same. I was even talking to a girl at the exact same time about how we probably won’t get noticed ever.
(Me being the positive bitch I am, was telling this girl to not give up though!)
Seconds later as I on a bit of a tweeting spree they started doing the jumps which could basically with one hop go to the moon. So I tweeted…
I didn’t think much of it and was casually drooling watching them on my TV when suddenly..
MY PHONE GOES INSANE.
I notice the small words ‘One Direction Retweeted..’ and then everyone was retweeting the exact same tweet. My phone was going crazy as I stared in shock and then…the screams started.
I was home alone at the time so went full out. I just started screaming and shaking so much I couldn’t move, I didn’t know what to do and then I started crying with happiness. My mentions were going crazy from my friends who had got it on their phones or who had seen my name already. I couldn’t believe it I was completely stunned screaming and crying for ages.
When I finally gained some sense I rang my best friend and started screaming and crying to her so much she couldn’t understand me at first.
I couldn’t believe it and I felt sooo happy! I was talking to a girl seconds before telling her to not give up even though chances are low and then suddenly BAM they RT’d!
It really does happen when you least expect it so never give up trying! :’)
