Star-Struck/Serendipity

I'm so glad that i left parra library when aryan pleaded me to stay

I'm so glad that the sydney terminal was delayed by 10 minute at parra


BECAUSE.....























I BUMPED INTO NATALIE A.K.A COMMUNITYCHANNEL


and here starts the very descriptive but not obsessive recount. i'm sure many ppl have met her before, but i just felt literally weak when i met her. My knees buckled and my words were starting to slur.

so it all starts when sydney terminal is delayed at parra station. there's a loud groan among the crowd. finally the train arrives and it gets to strathfield 10 minutes later.

On the way down the ramp, to my other train i hafta change for. i was kinda in my mind thinking about what to blog about tonight. I hadn't blogged for a coupla days and just wanted to keep on motivating everyone and posting my daily routine recounts. It was about 6 so people were just finishing work and strathfield station was flooded with people. Suddenly on my way down the ramp, this girl in a grey t-shirt walks past me and we catch eyes for a moment. Suddenly it rushed my mind. oh my gosh. was that communitychannel? i quick look back and she's on the phone to someone and yep it definitely was. still i wasn't that keen to pursue her and ask for an autograph. had to catch my train on the way home. i thought oh, that'd be an interesting side story for tonight.

reach the screens at stra, and i find that next train was 13 mins. great. but then i suddenly realised. hey i got time to check out if that was really community channel. walk up the platform which i just came from, and i walk past her inconspicuously. oh my god. it was actually her. or if it wasn't. it was someone who looked exactly like her.
I'm not that big a fan myself, but i know that some people in our grade were. immediately thought to jero and belle. maybe i can get an autograph for them. but she was still on the phone calling and texting away and i was a bit submissive.

3 minutes left till her train came. i was telling myself not to be a chicken. she's just a girl on youtube. just like me. cept a hundred thousand times more people watch her videos than prefect news.
so telling myself that i'd kick myself so hard if i missed this chance. i walked to her. she originally thought i wanted a seat so she moved across

Me: Hi. Is it natalie?
Natalie: Hahah. yeah
Me: CommunityChannel right? yeah my friend really loves your videos.

In essence i was just pulling out a conversation continuer. I knew in my head that she would get that a lot.

Natalie: Oh that's nice
Me: Would it be alright if I got an autograph for them?

At that point in time there was also this other business guy sitting on the bench with a "what the hell" expression. Obviously he'd never heard of or seen her before. So she goes "yep sure thing"

2 minutes left to the train. I rummage through my bag and get out the first piece of paper i see and a pen. It's my chemistry notes. Great.

I pass her the pen and the paper. She turns the thing over to see what it is.
Natalie: Oh what is this?
Michael: Oh haha. yeah it's my chemistry notes. i've been studying for HSC
Natalie: Oh HSC, that's a sucker. Don't worry trust me. It'll be much better afterwards.
N: Oh sorry, what was your name?
M: Oh right Michael. I was really kind of star-struck and i was beginning to slur my words. and my whole body was really weak for some reason.

She begins writing away. I was really stupid and did not think to mention jero and belle's name == i really was just gleeing over the fact that I met her.

She hands the paper back over. and i go. "Mind if I get a photo too?"
She goes "yeah of course" and then i get my phone out to take the pic. all those luvos during farewells paid off. aimed perfectly.

M: Hey thanks a lot.
N: Hey no problems, you should send that photo to my email and I can post it up on my video.
For a split second i made a natural instinct to ask for her email and writing it down. but then i realised. can just get it off the net like that
M: Yeah sure. i'lll errr i'll i'll definitely do that.

i was really starting to slur my words. so i thought better get the hell out of there.

The train had arrived.
N: Well it was nice meeting you, good luck for your HSC
M: Yeah thanks

She gives me a hug and i start turning away to head to my platform with a huge grin on my face.



And so that ends my very descriptive conclusion. here's what she wrote for me.
"This is far more important that your chemistry notes" - if it's too blurry to see
Sorry jero and belle for not mentioning your name. If you want it you can have it, but after HSC of course :) i need it to study.

Edit: just remembered, she didnt write my name. cause i mentioned i was getting it for a friend. so if either of you want it. it's yours

That's it for now
Take care everyone. Make the most of your time.
