well, the forum is always down when I try to post, so be patient, ok?
anyhow, here's part 2: wednesday morning.
On wednesday morning, I decided to wait outside the hotel until she came out, so that I could tell her about the big gift that we were going to give her. I arrived at the hotel around 10 am, and the people who were already there said she hadn't left yet. So we were all waiting, waiting and waiting during a period of time that seriously felt like forever. At around 3pm, people started getting really nervous, and worrying that she wasn't in the hotel at all, and was somewhere else. This was especially worrying since it was really cold outside, and lots of people were seriously underdressed for standing outside all day. But still, we kept on waiting.
Suddenly, around 4pm, some cars showed up, and her staff members started carrying lots of shopping bags and suitcases to the cars. Some were worried that she was gonna switch hotels or leaving London completely or something, so we understandably got a little nervous. But since they were supposed to film pv's, i guess those things were just her outfits for the shooting, and they just put it in the car to bring it wherever they were filming.
Then suddenly Ayu comes out of the hotel, walking towards the car, apparently not noticing us until someone called out her name. She instantly turned towards us and started signing stuff. I was at the back of the crowd, meaning i was the last one to talk to ayu. Suddenly when it was my turn, i was standing alone in front of ayu and stan, and i had to say something. Well, my job for the afternoon was to make sure that ayu would actually get back in the evening, and let her know about the book, so what I did was basically to tell her that we had a really big surprise gift to give her, and we wanted to give it to her when she got back, because she'd have more time then. I was a little nervous so i stumbled a bit when i was talking, but she listened really attentively, until suddenly Stan said they had to go because they were in a hurry. I also somehow managed to mentioned that i had travelled all the way from Norway to see her. She was probably impressed by that
I had some other stuff that I wanted to give her as well, which was from the norwegian fans. I asked Stan if i could give that to them right away. He replied "well, we could put it in the car", but i didn't want to risk those gifts getting lost or forgotten or something, so i only gave them one of those gifts. What was it? Chocolate from Norway! Me an maxker bought a box each at the airport, it was rather spontaneous, but it had norwegian flags on it, and everybody likes chocolate, right? So we labeled one box "for Ayu" and the other box "for Stan" beforehand, and Stan took them in the car with him.
As they were about to leave, with ayu already inside the car, mayumi told me she didn't get anything signed, so I said, well Stan's at the car, why don't you go ask him to fix it for you? Initially, i think he said no, because they had to leave, but I think ayu heard him or something, because he took mayumi's poster inside the car, and ayu came out with it, signed. At that point, some guy even managed to sneak over to get an individual picture with ayu. If that guy was you, please post the pic, i want to see! Then Stan promised we'd get to take more pics when they got back, got in the car, and they left. "When will you get back?", I asked. "At nine, at the earliest", Stan replied. Understatement of the year! Oh well, we'll get back to that later
