OKAY so this happened a few months ago, and I wrote about my experience before, but I was so shook, it was so scrambled and I reread it and was like "tay wtf lol" so i'm rewriting it...YEAH.
here we go...
when i got to the convention centre where the expo thingie was, i was so lost lmao. i'd never been to anything like it before and tbh it was kinda overwhelming. honestly i don't think i've ever seen so many people dressed as dr. who in my life. anyways i was walking around with my friend awkwardly, dudes it was so weird seeing all these random actors and actresses everywhere, like 'oh there's gaten mattarazzo and billie piper. nbd. tay pls dont faint. help'. then after searching i finally found bob's booth thingie, but there was like a giant line bc my boi is a hot topic okay? and plus, the line was closed bc he was having a lunch break soon, which made me sort of sad, but happy too bc like give the smol a rest.
BUT if i stood on my tip toes and squinted hard (bc i wasn't wearing my glasses, again, tay, wyd?) i could see robert. i was shook. like i literally didn't know what to do with myself. so naturally, i went to buy a photo-op ticket. which took way less time than i thought it would, so me and my friend went and got iced coffee (classic move tay) bc it was only like 12pm and our photo op wasn't until 2pm and then bob's meet&greet line didn't open up until 3pm or something like that.
this is where i screwed up. how you might ask? i downed that coffee. and my dudes, usually, i can take a coffee like a man. except sometimes it bites back at me. like just the other day i had one coffee and i could barely lift my food to my mouth because i was so shaky afterwards. anyways, i guess in the bob situation it was a mixture of having barely eaten anything yet that day, and being extremely nervous, because i was shakiNG SO MUCH. which, unfortunately, will come up again later in this story.
okay, after waiting in line at coffee culture for what seemed like ages to fuel my addiction to caffeine, i chugged that bad boy (which, as stated, was an idiotic choice) and made it back into the expo. by the time we got in, it was pretty much time to get in line for my photo-op.
if you've ever been to any sort of meet&greet, you probably know that photo-ops usually take like 2.3 seconds. literally. i was waiting in line and i think my fight or flight instincts kicked in because i had this strong urge to literally just run away. idk why, i think it was just overwhelming. but THEN we got into the actual photo area and i saw BOB STANDING LIKE 10FT AWAY FROM ME.
then it was my turn. i was probably smiling like an idiot because when bob looked at me he suddenly started smiling and almost laughing at me (guys, idek help). tHEN we both said "it's nice to meet you" at the same time. which could've been awkward but we just laughed bc we had a lot to get done in 2.3 seconds.
BY THE WAY, he was wearing a flower crown. a queen ™. honestly, sometimes i forget bob and bellamy are even associated with each other, let a lone the same dang person. they're so completely different it's crazy.
anyways, we sort of hugged and the camera guy took the photo and then i was like "thank you so much!" and bob was like "no! thank you!" and i left and prayed that i looked half decent in my photo. it actually turned out decent which i'm still shocked about lmao.
fast-forward a couple hours and i finally get to my turn for the meet&greet, which unlike the photo-op, you actually get a few minutes to talk to the person you've waited in line to meet. okay, this was pretty much our conversation:
-
roberto: hey! wait, we already met, right?
tay: yeah! a couple hours ago at the photo-op.
roberto: oooh, right, i remember you! hey, did i look good in our photo? because i feel like i probably just looked super tired.
tay: no, you look great in it! but even if you did look tired, don't even worry about it because i literally always look tired.
roberto: *laughs awkwardly and probably inwardly agrees*
-
this is where my memory unfortunately draws a random blank but somehow we started talking about my fingernails (idek lmao), they were painted a light blue colour at the time. here's how that went down:
-
roberto: hey, i really like your nail colour by the way! did you get them done?
tay: aw thanks! and yeah, just yesterday actually.
roberto: dang, you've inspired me, i feel like i need to go get my nails done after this.
tay: ou, what colour are you gonna get?
roberto: i dont know, i really like that colour you have though, so probably the same as yours.

IAOIGEHAOIGH. after that he asked if i wanted another picture with him, and lol why wouldn't i? so my friend took it, and GUYS he leaned his head on mine, i'm still shook and it's been like a couple months lmao. anyways, here's where my stupid iced coffee kicks in. i swear guys, i d k what came over me but as we were taking the picture i was shaking. like not lowkey shaking but like verymuchly shaking. which was definitely a combination of nerves and coffee but i'm still highkey embarrassed. and honestly, idk if he even noticed but like lol @ me.
after that we just said good-bye and all that jazz and i took the train home and hung up my photos and continued to shake.
my story has 2 morals.
1. if you ever have the chance to meet bob morely, do so, because he's the world's most precious cinnamon role.
2. dont drink coffee especially if it makes you shake and especially if you're about to do something important!!!111/1!??!?!
