hey guys, well, just got back from london about 45 mins ago, and brace yourselves, because i can guarentee this will be my longest post! and iv done some long ones! hu-hum.—
o.k, well, we got to leister square at about, half four, cos we wanted to take in the atmosphere and everything, and the time went really quickly, as we were standing behing the gates, this woman said, “god, iv broken into alot of places, but this security guards the worst!” cos he wasnt even looking at more people going behind the gates when it was restricted Rolling Eyes anyway, we got to talking, and, stroke of luck, she was the producer of Q and A at the bafta rehearsal which was on the same night!and johnny was doing it! Shocked Very Happy so i asked her questions like would he be coming in for the intro and everything, she was so useful, and funny-and then, it started absolutly POORING IT DOWN with rain, england style, so my hair was compleatly drenched Rolling Eyes but i didnt care that much, but i was unbearably cold! so, when the woman had to go, i held her arm and just said “look, you have such a better chance at getting this to him than i do, please just try,” and she said” oh, no look, i cant do autographs, ” and i said “no, its not an autograph, i just want you to give him this letter” so she goes “right, o.k, well, you know il try but its still very unlikey,” and i said “its o.k, just try” and that was the last of her, and my letter, and i never knew what happened to it! probably nothing but, you know, if shes the producer, cant she get it to an interviewer whos interviewing him? i dont know-it just looked like my chance. Wink
so we went to another part of the carpet, the woman said he was ment to be arriving at 6, so i said, o.k, well go in at 10 past o.k? (stupid) so we did, and when we were in the theatre , they actually showed us what was happening outside, which , BELIEVE ME was ABSOLUTE T-O-R-T-U-R-E because, when johnny arrived, i was thinking, for gods sake, hes like 100 yards away from me and i cant see him-i wont see him, and we sat there watching him sign autographs which was even worse, because where we were first time, was right down the corner and we were thinking if he comes when we arnt in, he wont even go down here, but he did! (bear in mind that when i was in the theatre, i really honestly thought that was it, hed just go upstairs for abit and leave, so that hour or so was the most painful hour ever, especially when they were showing all these people who were so lucky!)and then,. the thing on the screen stopped-and we were waiting for about 15 minutes, and had no idea what they were waiting for (i didnt want to believe it) and then, i saw the cast, the four boys in the movie…and i was thinking…wait a second..(by the way, im so SO GLAD i didnt get the circle seat, because i was so amazingly close to the cast because they were walking down the side of our row, and i was about 6 people in-i could have been anywhere in that massive place but i was that fortunate Shocked ) anyway, i looked over my shoulder…and..my ..god-he was right there-i remember seing him for one second, turning round, put my arms on my knees, my hands on my mouth, and my eyes filling up with tears, of i think joy,(it was a confusing state of emotions Laughing )-just not believing that he was that close,for about 7 to 10 minutes waiting to go on stage! i could have (and was about to) cry and then i just pulled myself together (from where i have no idea looking back on it) and i kept looking back at him-for someone that only moved on a t.v screen-was now moving in real life-real close- and i swear to god, i think he glanced at me for one second-i could be mistaken, but his eyes were so dark.i really think he did….i dont know. -but i turned round so quick when i thought he did i was just like “oh…my……god..breath..”so he moved down the row bit by bit and finally went on stage-i gasped again at that point cos i could see all of his body and he was really there in the light! the director said something sweet “going to france to meet johnny for the film was the best assignment iv ever been on, and him saying yes was the nicest thing iv ever heard.” that was so sweet, and then he said (this was before he was on stage he said “he is the greatest, sweetest person, in the world-just to ruin his reputation” which was funny cos i turned round and he as laughing Laughing anyway, he stood on stage for abit, and when he was leaving, he just waved at the audience twice and left..
but then, he came out the door that was on the side of our row too, and this was the second of the two major heart breaking moments when, one person before our row, got him to sign something..so i quickly passed my booklet along and said “mum, pass it down, now! ..quick! but he went to the row after us, which mum was still reaching over for, but he went Crying or Very sad and then stopped 2 rows after that one and signed loads! and then people started leaning over and getting up for him to do it and it was working! and that killed me-because if i was alittle later in that row, i would have got up cos id be reaslising other people were doing it-but cos we were early on, people were just handing him stuff cos he was at the end. so i realised then that i had made a huge mistake and missed such a great, easy chance! so i was really heartbroken then, they were taking pics at the back and everything! and then he left. i felt a strange sort of…satisfaction-a relief now,a slight disaapointment too though- that i could watch the film knowng that i had actually seen him. it was really special. the only thing im sad about is that, i dont have any pics of him in the cinema,
stace, didnt you love it when the presentor asked him “are you going to apoligise for making people cry in te audience tonight??” and he goes
“urm……………….no….” Laughing Laughing that was so funny.
thanks for torturng through the lenght of this, i realise this is REDICULOUSLY, OBSURDLY LONGso ill stop now, to your relief Laughing stace, i may have see you get up-but the top didnt look pink, Confused Confused and ps, the film was amazing, it was so beautifully made-its just so beautiful-everything. my mum and my sister cried like babys! i didnt, cos i was thinking about so much stuff, but i was not expecting that from my sister! and kate winslet was good too-funny on stage, and that freddie highmoore-my god! i know why johnny likes him! it was an ablosltly increadible performance by him Shocked
Wink bye bye Wink
2days later:
oh my god Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked
you guys would not believe this! o.k, came down in the morning…and my mum said “theres something for you” as soon as she said that…i had a slight incling on what i wished it would be, i opened it, and it was the woman who i passed the letter to to give to johnny, ill type up what she said…by the way, youll all have to know my name now-so i hope no-ones a phyco peado.. Confused Wink
dear …..,
i dont know if you remember me but yesterday you gave me a letter to give to johnny depp. at the time, i was very reluctant to accept it (*tell me about it* Laughing ) as i didnt think i would be able to pass it on.
anyhow, after the question and answer session, an opportunity presented itself and i managed to wriggle past his security guards and speak to him. i explained where you were from and thats you were a huge fan of his (i hope she actually read the letter so she understood just how much!)and asked if he could sign the letter. there then followed several minutes where johnny and i tried to work out your name. you really must improove your handwriting!(< that is so funny, because i thought it was soo neat!..although it was 6 in the morning...)
in the end, johnny desided you must be called …. and he signed the letter. it wasnt possible for him to read it-after all the security guards were trying to drag hima way (DAMN IT!)-but he did hold the letter so his fingerprints are all over it (< Shocked Shocked Laughing Laughing )
i didnt know if you managed to see him at the premier but if you did you will have noticed hes increadibly sexy and a really nice guy. (
