TIFF 2005

omg! Me and Nienna "met" him again!

I guess it kinda starts on Thursday (the fest was on Sat)...

I went to nienna's house to watch Van Helsing, but we ended up making a BEAUTIFUL poster that said "Orlando, to where ever it may lead, eh?" :D

Any way... on saturday...

I woke up at 8, but had a dilema that really didn't allow me to go... I called Nienna at like 9, and told her so... omg i was so sad :( At 11, the dilema changed and i could go!!! YAY!

We left our town at about 12:30, and arrived in toronto at 1:30 or so. We couldn't find Much at first, but finally did :) We went into a line we though was for bracelets... we went to starbucks to go to the bathroom, while nienna's mum stayed in line for us. When we got back, we found her mum had left, but it didn't matter :) Its kind of good she did (you'll know why)

We stood in the line for about and hr, when the line started to move. We were moved to right outside the front of the building, where we were behind 1 row of people. Nienna's mum was talking to a security guard, and some how got us wristbands, and we were sent inside... We werent allowed to have digital cameras, anything to sign, or posters :(

Anyway, we were behind orlando and to the left (if you looking @ his face) (just out of camera shot) And behind 1 or 2 rows of people... He's so hot!! Nienna wrote "I love orlando" on her arms and waved them in the air until sumbody told her to stop :(.  He came in and sat down and looked at us behind him.... They asked him questions (which i couldn't hear because it was so loud in there), and during commercials he came to us, and signed stuff.... Me n nienna didn't have anything to sign :( Later, after Kirsten and Cameron had joined him, we found a recycle bin and took out some scrap paper for him to sign :) He went outside with Cameron and Kirsten, then came back inside :)

We never got an autograph from inside much, but Nienna's mum got us 3. The poster we made, my rolling stones magazine and my calcium kid copy!!! She also got lots of pictures! I left Much before Nienna cause the forced me to, but she stayed inside and got us Devon's autograph on the pink piece of paper we stole from the recycle bin. When she went outside we went over to the Roy Thomson Theatre, where there were a LOT of people!!! We stood behind like 8 rows of people who were basically all there for viggo (and some for orlando). We got some pictures of Viggo Mortenson, (i got alot lol). When all the people for Viggo's movie (a history of violence) went inside, somebody had a panic attack at the front near the gate. They took her off, then closed the gate, so me and nienna were up against it standing on the edge of the curb.

Rick (the former host of Much) was there and he signed our pink piece of paper and we talked to him a bit (Nienna said that she missed him on much and he should come back) I got a few pictures of him aswell. (My camera was dying :( ) 

Finally, (after waiting for about 3hrs), they moved the gate back and LET THE PEOPLE WHO FAINTED BACK @ THE FRONT!!!! OMG!! We were so pissed!!! They were bitchy rude fat people and they were all about 50 yrs old or something!!! They were only there for autographs (they collect them) and werent there for orlando.. come on! LEt the fans at the front!!!

Anyway, i stood beside this big korean photographer, who stood on a stool. he was pritty big and had the most annoying voice in the world!!!Anyway,  I can't remember her name.... but judy garland's daughter came (anne or something) and everybody went nuts... me and nienna were being squished to the point we coulnd't breathe!!! Then Susan Sarandon came.. then some other people came (i dunno who though)

Finally, 5 minutes befor 9:30 (the time the movie was supposed to start) Cameron Crowe showed up, and went to talk to reporters, then Kirsten, then FINALLY ORLANDO!!!! YAY!!!!! He signed a few neaer us (cause we were on the way to the reporters) and then just went to the reporters!! I was like sad cause he didn't stay to sign much. He talked to a bunch of people, while me and nienna couldn't breathe... adn then went into the building...

I was like... shocked cause we had waited there for like 5hrs for only 30 seconds of seeing orlando (I'm not complaining though ^.^) A girl behind me and nienna was asking the *ahem*b*tch*ahem* ahead of us if she'd get orlando's autograph for her. The woman said "Maybe after i get some pictures".... how rude!!!!!

Orlando came back out after about 15 minutes and everybody was pushing and screaming again. He went to the reporters again, then made his way back to us... I asked the woman ahead of us if i could put my hand on the bar and she said "um..... no i dont think so" but i did anyway and held the poster against the bars. Orlando glanced at it when he came over, then started to sign more autographs.  He signed nienna's copy of Calcium Kid, and i took some more pictures (My camera was dead basically).

Then he went over to the long line of fans to the right of us, (out of camera range cause it was dark out) so we got Jerry Penicoli (spelling?)'s from Extra's autograph, and Cameron Crowes autograph. Then the pepole ahead of us left and me and nienna went against the bar. Orlando got into his car with the window rolled down, and me and nienna held out our poster...

What happened next made us sooooooooooooooooo happy!!!!! As he was slowely rolling by, we held up our poster so he could see, and he leaned out of the window, pointed at our poster and said "I LOVE THAT!" (well at least that's wat we think he said we couln't hear him).... omfg, me and nienna just like stared at him as he said it.. we must of looked like idiots, and when he was gone, it took me like a second to figure out what he had said... then i swear we must of been the loudest girls screaming!! WE WERE SO EXCITED!!!

Not only had he loved it, he took the effort to lean out of his window and tell US That he loved it!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
