MOMENT #1` ` . . . Janet Damita Jo Jackson. The best day ever, february 28th, 2008 .` ` posted at 1:22 AM
wow it has been one crazy rollercoaster week! first it started out on monday night going up to the virgin megastore in hollywood right after work at 9:30pm to get my wristband for the meeting. they didnt start selling the new album, Discipline until 12am so we had been waiting outside since about 10:30pm before we got our cd's at 1:47am. fucking crazy, but well worth it. then here it comes thursday morning and its time for me to fucking meet her! I didnt even believe it, i was hella happy but it haddnt hit me yet. we left the house about about 1pm and got to hollywood at like 1:30pm and just chilled all day in line which was fucking chill. hangin out with other janet fans, showing off our tatts and just singing and dancing while pigging out on what the local mccdonalds had to offer. all of a sudden its about 10 minutes to 8pm and a white suv pulls up.. and its no other than the miss janet jackson herself making her grand appearance an hour early. so after standing in line for about maybe 30 to 45 minutes, we hit the window, and as we're trying to peek inside, melissa spots her out and as soon as i saw her face the tears started to stream down my face and i couldnt control my breathing. when they finally let us into the door, i had lost it.. mascara down my face, my face and body parts started to go numb and i couldnt even talk clear. as we were waiting to step up to miss jackson herself, one of the girls from her staff with a video camera came up to me and my mom since she saw that i was crying and started talking to us. my mom mentioned that i had a tattoo of janet on my back and she instantly wanted to catch it on tape for Janet. when i realized that it was finally my turn to step up and meet my idol, i could of died right then and there. i could barely walk. my feet were numb, my chest was caving and i was hyperventilating. when i finally stepped up to where she was sitting i couldnt help but just stare. she was sooo tiny, her little face, her little features. she is soo beautiful in person. pictures, videos, tv just doesnt do her justice. even my mom was like, omg shes soooo fucking beautiful. when i could finally find my vocal cords, all i could mutter was a quick hi and then the water works kicked back up again, when that happened, she looked adoringly at me and then up at my mom before saying, "is that your daughter?" my mom said yes and then her and my mom exchange a few words, something along the lines of my mom saying how beautiful she is and how long i've been a fan. at the point i could of died, and thats when i started to talk to her. then my mom mention the tatt of her on my back and started to turn me around to show her my tatt on my back and asked her if she could sign it, then i continued to explain when i got it done and how i told my artist that my goal was to have her sign it. as soon as the words fell from her lips, she reached over with her sharpie about to sign it until her bodygaurds stopped her and told her she couldnt. the whole time this was going on i couldnt stop staring at her and i couldnt stop my tears, so she grabbed my hand and just held it and said she was soo sorry that she couldnt sign my back. then she had me turn around again to get a good look at it and was like omg thats my face isnt it! my eyes and my nose and my lips! and then she continued to go on about how unique it was and how shes never seen one like mine before. then she grabbed the girl that had recorded me before and told her to get a good shot of it on the camera and to make sure to record it because she really loved it. Janet then proceeded to sign me and my moms cd's and she grabbed my hand one last time said thank you and we were out the door. once we got out the door, i had three different people come up to me asking what happened and what she said to me, as well as a few taking a picture of my tatt on my back. and even though she didnt get to sign my back, the way she complimented it meant just as much. it made my whole fucking life and its a moment i'll never forget. im not over it and i dont think i ever will be
mission accomplished. i FINALLY met JANET JACKSON!
