Ellie meets Ronan!!
	The story of how I met Ronan by Ellie .... Saturday the 15th of July will always be the best day of my life this is why... On Thursday 13th July Ronan was co-presenting MTV Select and about 10 minutes into the show he said I'm going to be doing Cd signings in Edinburgh, Rotherham and Bristol. When he said Rotherham I almost fell off my chair I was like what? That's only a bus ride away for me!! So that was it I was going no questions asked! I called just about everyone I know to tell them and my mate Donna who later cancelled on me so I called my mate Vicki who didn't even like Ronan but does now lol! I had to persuade her by doing loads of pleeeeeeaseeeeeee down the phone but she said yes! Vicki sweetie if u ever read this I owe u big time so anything u want just ask ok? Thankyou for putting up with me through all of this you've been great =) Well all of Friday I couldn't eat,sleep all i could do was sit on the sofa and watch Ronan going oh my god oh my god and I was shaking so much! Well I went online to chat in the evening but I could hardly type lol! Then I went to bed Friday evening still in shock but I did manage to sleep god knows how but I did! I got up on Saturday morning at about 7.30am and went online for a bit because I didn't know what else to do! I found the exact address of the big W stores which was good because I didn't want to be going to the wrong Woolworths lol that wold be silly!I phoned them and asked if this was the store that Ronan Keating is going to be at, she woman said yes! I then asked her about what bus I should get on she told me, she was very helpful :o) I then went and got dressed and listened to Ro for a bit and then put TLC on cause listening to Ro so much made me even more nervous! I found my wysnaa and L.I.A.R cd and took 2 posters from my wall I put them in my bag and also my phone and my camera! I was ready to go and meet Ro! Vicki came round to my house at about 10.30 which was good because she saved me from watching the Grand Prix on the German channel hmmm Gordon! We walked to the bus stop I was still shaking and talking rubbish lol! She was trying to calm me down but it wasn't working! She kept on saying this is what you want isn't it? I said yeah but I dunno how I'm gonna react seeing him THAT close. She was going it's ok you'll be fine I said will I? We got on the bus I have no idea what I talked about on the way there nevermind! We arrived in Rotherham about half an hour later the stupid bus took longer than I thought aaaarrghh! I then went and found the 132 and 264 bus stop! I asked a driver on a 132 bus and he said no you need a 131 bus to Catcliffe ( which is where the shop is ) So Vicki and I sat in the bus station for about half an hour waiting for the stupid 131 bus but no it didn't come! the 264 did but it was packed solid so we thought we'd wait for the next one I thought oh it won't be that long! Well it was I was getting worried 15 more minutes had passed and all the buses that came in were 132 and 130 which were totally no good to us! Well the lady on the phone did tell me 132 so we got talking to 2 other girls who had Ro cds in their hand they had also been told they had to get a 132 bus so we got on it with them! We saw signs for catcliffe and was saying that bus driver must have been wrong telling us 131! An old lady said to us oh you need to get off here for Catcliffe so we all said thanks to her =) We got off the bus and started walking for ages! I then spotted a sign saying Big W right on the top of a hill through some houses! I said look it's up there! So we walked up these streets for about 10 minutes and then we were like where do we go now? So one of the girls Cheryl said look theres a "public footpath" here so we went on that and then got to this huge hill and started running up it! My legs got tired, my whole body did but I kept on going!Soon we were up the hil and we were there at Big W YAY! We found the place where it said "Ronan Keating queue here " So we joined the massive queue! There were loads of people there to see Ro and loads of people who worked at Woolworths. They were totally annoying they kepy coming round with a megaphone shouting " Ronan Will be here in 30 minutes etc " and then started chanting Ronan Ronan Ronan, most of the people in the queue were quiet LOL! There was also a huge stereo playing L.I.A.R single and By Request album constantly. I wasn't nervous at this point I was enjoying the atmosphere and being with my mates talking about Ronan and watching 2 little boys pull a Burger king sign off the wall lol! Then the woman with the megaphone came back and said "Ronan will be here in 10 minutes" Oh god I started feeling a bit sick by then! Another 5 minutes passed then all of a sudden I heard screaming and the woman shouted "he's here" Oh my god my heart started beating sooo hard. I ran to the fence where some other people were screaming and oh god there he was!! He was doing an outdoor signing which we thought was a good idea! I looked at him for a bit and tryed to take a photo but my camera went dodgy aaarrghh! I was worrying I wouldn't get any photos so when we got to the place where they were selling Cameras and Ro Cd's I bought a disposable one phew!The stereo was now playing Ronan's album which was sounding fab can't wait to buy it =) The queue started moving quickly Vicki kept asking me if I was ok awww.. I said no I'm not ok I'm scared but I'm happy or something like this anyway)! Then we got towards the front of the queue where the Woolies workers were and the stereo soon it'd be time! Now I could feel my legs shaking a bit and my stomach was doing somersaults and I felt like being sick but I wasn't luckily! Ok now it was time to go in and meet Ronan!! One of the guys said Come on you'll be alright cause he could see how much I was shaking! There was also a little queue near Ronan's table so we joined that and it went down so quickly and oh my god it was our turn to meet him! I was shaking even more now! I looked at Ronan and was like oh my god he's there! I gave my things to Barry Knight ( Ro's bodyguard ) to give to Ro to sign. While Ronan was signing my things I took a photo of Ronan he said "hello" and looked into my camera with his big blue eyes!! ahhh oh my god I will never forget the look and the way his eyes are they are soooo blue and so gorgeous when you see them like that wow I was in complete heaven! Also his hair looked totally gorgeous it was all spiky and sooo blonde I couldn't believe how lovely it was! I didn't say anything to him I maybe said "thankyou" but I don't actually remember! I didn't have to say anything because "you say it best when you say nothing at all"right? Well I think so anyway! The moment with Ronan will be remembered for the rest of my life he was sooo lovely aww! I was also thinking his head is small lol Do not ask me why!But I didn't think it in a bad way at all! I was also thinking god I've never seen anything so gorgeous in all my life! Vicki was in front of me she didn't have anything to do with Ro for him to sign because she wasn't a Ro fan but she did have a little book so he signed that. it was so cute the way he did it for her aww! he said thankyou to both of us and smiled =) Vicki and me got around the corner and screamed at each other and went totally insane hehe! we then went to the other side of the barriers to watch Ro sign everyone else's autographs. I was trying to take pics of him but people and Barry Knight's arm got in the way! He then got up and had his pic taken with a disabled girl which I thought was very sweet of him :o) Then he walked away from us and waved everyone was screaming like mad including me hehe. his bum looked soooo sexy in those white trousers I was clicking away with my camera like mad, think I took quite a few of him walking mmm! We were about to go into Woolworths but then I noticed loads of people running down the hill I thought ah I know where they're going so I ran after them all Closely followed by Vicki she couldn't run as fast as me bless her! We got to the back of the building waiting for Ro's car to come out, first they shut the door while he got in and then it opened and out came this lovely red Range Rover with a guy driving with Barry Knight in the passenger seat, Ro in the back between Mark Plunkett and another guy dunno who he was! Ro waved to us all and smiled, I was taking pics like mad again lol :P I couldn't run after his car though there were about 10 Woolies workers and a few security guys holding us back but about 3 girls got away hehe lucky them =) me and Vicki decided we wanted to check out the big W stores for a bit and we needed to calm down a so we went to the entertainment section cos I wanted to look for a big Ronan poster I'd seen some girls with I wanted one too hehe but none of the counters had one so I asked a really cute guy if I could have one from the counter he said no aww =( I even offered him money but I wasn't gonna moan at him cause he was cute and nice to me lol. After that I went to Burger king and called everyone I know and told them and screamed loads! Then we headed for home talking about Ro non-stop! That was the best day of my life so far I don't think anything will beat this! Vicki i wanna thank you again for coming with me and supporting me when I was "emotional" u know what I mean don't u? hehe =) And to Ronan if you ever read this I love you baby thanks for making my day extra special adore you more than words can say your the best forever and ever :o) The end
