#clueless trip 2k18

[madisonrooney]

so.........um........clueless!!!

uhhhhhhh ok so first of all

I MET THOMAS

i was almost sure he would be there and in her typical fashion, my mom spotted him first lmao. i caught him by himself so i went up to him and told him im a huge descendants fan and wanted to say hi and that i was there for dove and he thought that was so cool and we got a picture and i told him how hype i am for D3 and he said its gonna be amazing

then the show and THE SHOW WAS FANTASTIC. and like listen i know im technically “biased” but hey i fell in love with the girl initially bc i love her acting skills! so like...i dont call that bias so much as personal taste? if that makes sense? but really she was incredible. hilarious, adorable, and girl can SANG. like we been knew but gurl can SAAANG ive had few other opportunities to see her sing live for that long. well technically one other time being mamma mia and that was from quite a distance, this time i was in like the fourth row. the whole show was just hilarious and adorable and lovably 90s. the whole cast was great. i finally watched the movie about a week ago and i think it REALLY kept the spirit of it. i think long time fans will be satisfied. it even kept a lot of the same dialogue, beyond just the most iconic lines.

and during intermission i spotted....the producer of jersey boys??? listen ive watched their tonys acceptance speech one too many times so i was like um i know that guy. and i told him how much i love the show and how i saw it for the 10th time last night and he was so cool.

went out into the lobby after the show to look for dove. caught thomas’ eye and smiled at him and he waved at me :)

met a lot of the cast and they were all great!!

then spotted dove and hfjghdfjkghdfjkh

her mom spotted me from the line and smiled and winked at me :D

as i moved closer dove spotted me and her face lit up and she waved

then i got up to her and got the usual “hi baby!!! so good to see you!!” and hug! gave her flowers (WHICH SHE LATER POSTED ON HER INSTA STORY????) (and when we got our picture she was like ‘let me put these beautiful flowers on display’) and told her the whole “my mom and i said like a year ago that whenever you inevitably made it to broadway we would be here for the first show” and she was like “oh yah i saw you in the audience!! in the front on the left, right?” and im like “..............YES??? HOLY SHIT????” (i thought id seen her look my way at one point but im like i doubt she saw me BUT SURE ENOUGH)

she even gave my mom a hug and thanked her for making all this happen. lots of hugs and i love yous for both of us as usual :)

WHJFKGHFJDKG so my mom said “we finally got to meet thomas for the first time! hes so cute ;)” and thomas was right by there so she was like “oh yah hes the best. hey tommy! they approve of you! and theyve been around longer than you have!”

THEYVE BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN YOU HAVE

ARE WE DATING NOW OR WHAT

then i was like “so im graduating college next summer and i miiiiiight be seeing light in the piazza opening night” and she was like “you have to!” and i was like “no i mean like i AM i have tickets” lmao and she was so excited and gave me a high five

either during a hug or picture she like....put her head against mine

and as i left she said “see you in a few months!”

then my mom congratulated her mom and we said bye to thomas

and then i walked through the cold of new york city crying

so.......yah

you know the drill. every time i get to see this girl, even if i dont get to meet her, is beyond BEYOND special, but this is one of the most special experiences weve ever had. its one ive dreamed of for so long. not only to get to meet her but to see her work her magic on stage!!! she is incredible in film and tv, but i think theatre is really her calling, and i know thats what she was most exposed to growing up so it stands to reason. this is only the beginning yall (literally. with light and the piazza around the corner.)

bittersweet that its over, but for the first time in god knows how long, i actually know when im seeing her next!! and its for something super special!! it may not be for a while, but i almost like it better that way, bc i get to spend these next 7 months getting to look forward to it, KNOWING im seeing her again soon. and knowing how things work out, i very well may get to see her beforehand. (RDMAs? book signing? maybe something else? who knows)

not to say they weren’t amazing, but the last handful of times ive seen her have often had a downside (hocus pocus i could see her but couldnt meet her, mamma mia/bellami hair/build i didnt know when id get to see her next, build we didnt get to talk much, etc.) but this was just perfect in every way. we got to talk for the longest weve gotten to in nearly a YEAR, and i got to see her in her FUCKING OFF-BROADWAY DEBUT!!!! AND KNOW WHEN IM SEEING HER AGAIN! AND SEE HER MOM! AND MEET THOMAS! AND I HADNT SEEN HER IN EIGHT MONTHS AND SHE RECOGNIZES ME RIGHT AWAY! WOW!

so. yah. i love my gf and SEE CLUELESS IF YOU CAN

ok so now we have (what i believe to be) the flowers i gave dove in both her insta story AGAIN and in the background of a video she posted..........cool

[madisonrooney]

this has been one of the best weeks of my life

[madisonrooney]

i have a weird family life. my mom is basically my whole family and always has been, and i like it that way. i do have a dad and maintain contact with him, but theres always been a strain in our relationship, even tho hes sometimes been oblivious to it. my parents didnt get divorced till i was almost out of high school, but even when they were still together, i did almost everything just with my mom, even traveling. my parents are still very good friends, but my mom and i can agree on some issues we have with my dad.

i dont have much of an extended family either. im the only child of an only child so i dont really have cousins or aunts and uncles. i only have one living grandparent and i am very close with her since she lived very close to us when i was growing up and i spent a lot of time with her, but besides her, im not really close to much of my extended family mostly bc i dont really have any.

so the holidays can be unconventional for me, and some may see that as weird or look down on it, but im happy with the way it is. this year and last, my mom came out to me and we did/are doing thanksgiving dinner at the disneyland hotel which includes fun stuff like characters. and we spent the first half of the week schleping across the country to see my favorite actress. but not only does my mom support me in these ventures, she fully enjoys them. she ADORES dove and LOVES getting to see her, as ive said before, she really considers her a part of our family.

again, my family is very small, so for my mom to see this girl i adore and let her into our lives means so much to me. and to be able to spend this week with my mom AND this girl who means the world to me is all the family i could ever ask for.

and the fact that my mom is willing to and LIKES to come out to me rather than having me go back to a triggering hometown, to instead be able to be around what makes me happy (that being disney) means so much to me as well.
