American Music Awards

First of all, 2007 is the best year ever. It just is.

Yes, I should be completeing my English essay, which was given 3 weeks ago and I only started yesterday, and it's due at 9am tomorrow, but NO. I'm going to write about my awesome weekend.

Thursday
I'm checking out jonasbrothersfan.com for all my JB updates. They posted something about participating in JB's performance at the AMAs. All you needed to do was email the street team with you name, age, phone number, and email. I entered. What the heck? It was simple enough. I knew I probably wouldn't get it and I had class anyway. That was about 2-3pm.

I get called into work and got off at 9pm. I get home at 9:30. I watch Grey's Anatomy and go to my room around 10. When I check my email, there was a new update from the Jonas Brothers asking us to resend our info with a photo to a different email address by 9pm. Crackers!! It was too late! I sent the update anyway.

They said they would announce the winners by midnight. I wait. 12am - no email. 12:15 - still nothing. 12:30 - I see comments from girls that did get chosen. *Sigh* oh well.

I watched some more TV. 1am - I refresh my inbox before I decide to shut down. There was one new email. OH MY GOSH. I just stared at it for a second in SHOCK.

I read it. Wow. WOW! I was one of 80 chosen out of thousands! I organize my thoughts, make sure it's practical for me to skip class and do this. YES it is! I wake up my mom. She's didn't fully wake up and comprehend the situation. I left before she could say no.

Friday
In the morning, she's debating whether or not to let me go. I mean, this was once in a lifetime, but would require me to drive to Downtown L.A. by myself. She permits me to go!

I stopped by school first to drop off assignments, you know, the responible thing to do. I took side streets all the way to Nokia LA Live. I made it alive!

We checked in, got wristbands, and then sat for about 3 hours. Someone saw them when they went to the restroom. My excitement elevated. They were really here!

They lined us girls in the the aisles. We practiced running over to the pit. The Jonas Brothers came out and performed. They were seriously 2 feet in front of me! Kevin's a winker ;] Joe is so cute. Nick.. didn't move. Haha. He was on the other side, so I didn't see him much.

This was a rehearsal, but they gave it their all each time. Yes, it was the same song performed 3 times in a row, but I love "SOS," and I love watching them perform!

They gave us the information about Sunday and parking passes. I said I was only going to do this rehearsal, but I really wanted to go Sunday now!

I kept my wristband on all weekend and decided that I really wanted to go to the awards. My mom and brother drove me. They were only supposed to drop me off, but they ended up staying the whole day.

Sunday
We arrived at the shrine around 8am. We lined up and buses came around 11ish to shuttle us to the Nokia. We did one quick run, but this time, the girls weren't playing nice. While we were running, a girl tripped and there was a domino effect. I fell too. Once I got up, the stage manager pulled me aside and didn't let me go until everyone else went first. I was in the back. There were girls up on stage with the boys. It was chaos.

Across the street, at the Staples Center, there were a bunch of girls waiting to see the JoBros on the red carpet. They were there since like 7am. Wow. I hope they got to see them.

We waited some more. They told us 3. They meant 4. We saw NLT outside. Finally, we were waiting in the foyer. Parents and guests were given TICKETS to watch the award show. How crazy is that?

We waited in the lobby for about 40 minutes. Then, finally, it's time. They bring us in. We do our thing. It's exhilirating. Joe fell but the show went on. Kevin and Nick were so concerned for their brother. That's why Nick started late. and kevin kept watching over Joe. I touched Joe's hand. Other girls groped his ass lol.

You can see me on TV 45 seconds into their act (including their introduction). I wore green with glasses and and yellow headband!

After their amazing performance, I ran over to the first row where Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens were seated. I got their autographs and Jared Murillo said hi to me. We all got tickets to watch the award show too!

During a commercial break, I met my mom in the foyer to get my camera. We jumped up and down and squealed like little girls. It was a totally awesome moment ^_^ I went to the bathroom, but didn't make it back before the commercial ended. I had to wait until the next break to go back inside.

I'm just chillin, when all of a sudden, I see the Jonas Brothers coming down the hallway. I froze. My brain was like "Say something, idiot!!" I asked Joe if he was okay.
He replied,"Yeah, don't worry."
"You guys were amazing. Thank you so much for letting us do this!"
"No, thank YOU for being here."

They walked off. As soon as they did, I started shaking and fell to the floor. The people around asked if i was okay. I'm just like "Yeah... I just talked to the Jonas Brothers!" I follwed the direction they went. They went to the bathroom. Other girls were there waiting for them. They went straight to their seats after.

The award show was cool. The stars were all there, but I wasn't sitting close enough to see faces.

I was at the 2007 American Music Awards. My family got to go too. All of this happened because I'm a Jonas Brothers fan! Seriously, I love them! They were so good and nice!

I snagged a program and a tshirt.

I saw that I wasn't crazy. There are at least 80 other girls who act like me. Or maybe I'm just not alone in my Jonas crazyness.

All right. Essay time.

This was one of the best moments of my life =D

My mom was right when I was all crying about the Knitting Factory. "Better things will come," she told me. I didn't think it could get better than that.But I was wrong. Seriously, GOD is sooooo GOOD all the time.
