Things I said to Chris Colfer:
- How was your drive?
- Have a safe drive back.
Chris Colfer Land of Stories Booksigning: La Verne, CA 7/27/2012
I had to put my camera away after a certain point. I wish I’d been able to get a few pictures in, but my sister managed to get some, even if they are blurry. Better than nothing.
So i don’t know how many of you noticed, but I’ve been away from this tumblr for a while… Mostly due to a reluctance to go through the effort of logging out of my sis’s account and back into mine.
In the time I have been away I caught up with victorious, recorded some videos with my sis for HER followers, and read a few books (I’m including fanfics in the book category because, really, they should count as long as their English is good)
The HIGHLIGHT of my absence has to have been going to the Chris Colfer signing in La Verne, Ca., with her friends. It was a nice day that I spent in good company, and I had some fun.
(I think i either surprised him by talking to him about the book, shocked him because I spoke really loudly/quickly, or he just has one of those naturally surprised faces)
After the terrible things that happened earlier, and persisted well into the summer (a few days ago actually) this was just the pick up I needed. So now I’m planing on sending the boy some fan mail as a “thank you”/”I blanked at the signing and couldn’t ask you these things about the book”.
