hi loves!!
i hope you had an amazing day!
i pretty much stayed inside all day and watched talk show interviews on youtube haha.

oh and i updated my dylmas fic for the first time in 51 days so i'm kind of proud of that lol.

i had to babysit this morning and it was... an experience.
two of the kids were at camp so that was good, but my sister and i still had to watch the baby and she would not stop screaming for like 10 minutes straight after her mom left. but eventually we got her to calm down, and then she made us play dress up! it was better than the last time we babysat for that family though so i guess i should be grateful for that.

also, i realised that i have never told the full story, on the internet, of the time i met my celebrity crush! (i'm so sorry for those of you who know me irl because i've talked about this so much haha). but i'm really bored so i decided to tell you guys about it! i am in no way trying to brag or anything, i just thought it might be fun to share my experience!

so when i was in second and third grade, i was completely obsessed with the show 'shake it up.' like i would dress up like cece and rocky and wear it to school, and i would watch every episode a bunch of times. at school, a bunch of other eight-year-old girls and i had our own 'dance crew' and we would dance to 14 and 15 year old bella thorne and zendaya's music haha. ahh it's so embarrassing to think about now but it happenedddd.

so yeah, i was really in love with that show, and zendaya was like my favourite actress ever. when she guest starred in other shows, like good luck charlie and ant farm, i would literally just focus on her the entire time. and when her movie 'frenemies' (which btw had smol nick robinson in it and it's precious) came out, i remember sitting in front of the tv and watching it a bunch of times haha.

so when shake it up got cancelled i was so upset. like that show was my whole life. luckily she went on to do another disney movie and show which i was also obsessed with later on lol. oh and she was on dancing with the stars!! which i staN. so that was exciting haha.

and my mom always said that i looked like zendaya (which i didn't at all), and i would think that it was the highest compliment i could ever receive. i just loved her so much.

one time i was at my daycare, and i asked one of the 'cool older girls' (a fifth grader lmho) what her last name was. and she said 'coleman.' so little me got all freaked out because "CoLeMaN?! tHaT's ZenDaYa'S LaST NaMe ToO! ZENDAYA!" and the girl was like really disturbed... which honestly i don't blame her for.

so anyway, my ninth birthday was coming up, and my parents said they had a surprise for my sister and i. so we got all dressed up in matching outfits, and we go to the mall. and i'm really confused because why would there be a surprise at the mall? so we go into a store, and there's this huge line, but we can't see what's at the front of it. so my dad takes us to the store entrance, and he points to a sign. we go over and look at the sign, and i bet you can imagine my reaction when i read:

"zendaya coleman: 'rocky blue' on shake it up, meet and greet 12/08/12"

i literally flipped out. in the morning i'm going to see if i can find the picture my dad took of my initial reaction! it's so embarrassing but honestly i would probably do the same thing if i found out i was going to met her again.

after i calmed down, we had to wait in line for a while, and zendaya's dad was walking around the line, holding ZENDAYA'S phone. my little sister and i were wearing matching outfits, and her dad comes up to us and is like "ahh twins!!" and he takes a picture of us!! on z e n d a y a ' s phone. of course he asked our parents first, but still, i couldn't believe it. i didn't even know who he was at first until he left and my mom told me haha.

so then we got to the front of the line, and honestly i don't really remember this part much. i think i went it to shock haha because i was such a nervous wreck. but she was so sweet and she autographed my picture and ahh. she was only sixteen years old!!!! i can't even imagine being just sixteen and going on a national tour meeting people!! she's just so amazing.

so i had her autograph hanging in my room and i would touch it every night (i know i was really weird) and i'm so grateful i got to meet her! a couple years later, my dad showed me the picture he took again, and it's actually so cringey. like zendaya looks like a goddess of course, but then there's me- my face completely red- and i'm doing an evil smile and oof.

but yeah i still love her, she's so inspiring and gorgeous and ahhh. i could go on but i've probably bored you enough already! in the morning i might post some of the pictures if i can find them.

i hope you have an absolutely wonderful day or night; i love you lots!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
