GH Habitat. BEST DAY EVER.
Okay. I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible but it was such a rewarding, amazing day.
So a whole bunch of GH cast was supposed to be there. I was mainly there for Maura West because I LOVE her. She is CRAZY TALENTED. I could write a whole blog post about her but I won't for now. So my friend and I get there and we find out Maura West isn't coming. We were so bummed. We had been tweeting her for months about how excited we were. And she follows both of us on twitter...we would never dare to message her because we're not like that. But we both messaged her & said how much we were going to miss her at habitat. She messages my friend back and goes "I'm on my way...in traffic". WE ALMOST DIED.
So as that went on, some of the actors started to show up. RICK HEARST SHOWED UP GUYS. Like I almost passed out. I did my whole fangirl thing and was like omg Rick's here.
So Maura shows up and me and my friend are like omg Maura West..omg. So we break up into groups for the day and at first I didn't realize who's group we were in. But we were in Rick's. And I was like oh my gosh. Rick saw me and was like "hey...how are you?" He knows me from different events and stuff. Maura walks by and we get her in our group for .5 seconds before the Habitat people need her for another task.
So we get to painting, my friend and I. And one of the Habitat guys keeps teasing us, calling us trouble. And I hear Rick from the other end go "you better watch that Erika, she's trouble." We bursted out laughing. As the morning went on, my friend and I were like "we had Maura West in our group and we lost her." We didn't even get a chance to introduce ourselves to her. So this guy who works for Habitat, the one who kept messing with us all day heard us and was like "I'll find her for you guys." We just laughed because we didn't think he was serious.
Not even 20 minutes later he brought MAURA WEST over to us. HE BROUGHT DAYTIME EMMY WINNER MAURA WEST OVER TO US. LIKE WHAT?! I looked at my friend and go "Maura is coming over here..omg." We're freaking out and she comes over to us and we tell her our names and she's like "you girls are the best. I see your tweets all the time and I appreciate your support so much."
THEN. SHE PULLS OUR HER CELL PHONE AND TAKES A SELFIE ON HER PHONE WITH US. WE ALMOST DIED. SHE WAS AH-MAZING.
It's late on the west coast so I need to go to bed. But I'm so blessed.
