Alright, let’s do it man, Sophomore. Don’t say I was never spontaneous…(x)
* sorry for all the spelling errors this is being written with shaken hands*
So since we were deluxe we got to meet him after the show, which is WAY better because you and Darren are super hyped after the show! So out of my group of 15 I was the last one because I was so nervous and couldn’t handle going before. So the clock struck 11:23 and it was my turn, the usual time with his is min 3 max 5, I got 10!!! bc I was the last one and there was enough time! so the AIW concierge which was super nice had talked to me before and tried to calm me down, and so when I was about to go in I was kinda sort of more relaxed.. hahah kinda…. okay so I was walking through a small hallway and I could hear my heartbeating super fast but whaterver, then I stepp into the greet room and I see no Darren, corey is just there looking through his camera and my heart falls, did he have to leave??! what the fuucckkk?! then all of a sudden, he Jumps out from the back curtain and says BOOOOOOO! and I start cussing in spanish( im mexican) and he looks at me for a good 3 seconds with a huge smile on his face, he looks at me and he days ” you’re gorgeous, I say that to people but I really mean it, you are GORGEOUS. Come here gorgeous I want to slow dance with you.” H e then gets super close to me like body to body and dances with me! he says ” please let me hold your hand none of this hand on waist bullshit” we hold hands whilst dancing and he spins me and twirls me, during this time corey is taking photos of everything that is happening and I am overthe moon with happiness! he then says ” here gorgeous let’s take another one” and then I stopped him because I saw corey ready to press the shutter and I told him. ” My dad thinks you are gay, he needs me to dispoove him with a photo of you and me.” he says ” oh, love there is so many ways I could disprove him, but if I did them I’d go to jail.” OH MY GAWD I died! the AIW lady and corey and I were laighing our asses off, he then says alright let;s tke badass picture, and he says alright hug me! I give him the biggest hug and corey shoots the photo! then darren says ” what thefuck corey I wasnt even posing yet! I didnt even get to hug her back!” He says soory gogeous we’ll see how it ends up! he then hold out his hand and walks me towards the couch and we talk and talk for what seemd like hours the whole time he had his hands over mine! eeek! Corey then hands him my photo and he says WOW I wanted to retake it, but you look gorgeous Fucking gorgeous ohmygod you are so beautiful! ” I obviously blush! and he begins to sign and writes gorgeous… and then he stopped writing and he say, ” who are you going to show this to?” and I say, “everyone and their mothers,” and then I see him cross off an f he had written after the word gorgeous, he then says : ” I was going to write Gorgeous, Fucking Gorgeous, but I guess we kinda have to keep it PG.hahah ” he then says here you go bella ( gorgeous in spanish/italian), and he hands it to me and laughs as he see’s me laugh with happinness over the picture. H e then pulls me up from couch and is ready to say goodbye, snd then he asks me ” hey, are you sick?” and I say ” no, hahah” He then holds my head to his face and gives me a HUGE kiss on the cheek! I D I E D, I looked at corey and at the AIW lady and sai ” please tell me someone got this on video, and darren turned me around to look at him, and he saim ” nope, this is just for you and me gorgeous, this is the most action you and I are ever goign to get.” corey and aiw lady have their jaws down to the floor because the can not believe he just did that , I died! he then says, “gracias bella, next time hide the tequila in yyour purse!” I then said, anything for you and I blew him a kiss which he blew back, then as I walk out, he says, ” hold on let me walk you out!” and he walks me out almost near the end of the hallway, he then say ” until next time gorgeous” and I say ” claro que si amor!” and we left smiling at each other. WOW AMAZING NIGHT! after I walked out to the balcony the lady who stayed with darren said “wait hold on a minute, oh wait nevermind” So I never knew what happened and it;s killing me!!!! ahh but seriously BEST NIGHT EVER!
I’ve always loved fairytales, and I’ve loved the concept of, um, some of the best parts of a lot of stories are the beginning, and I will leave you with a song at the end about, you know—Some of the best moments of my life has been before all the crazy shit that you might know me from, um, before there were any stakes. Before there was any, before there were any fans. Before, you know?
Not saying I don’t—I love you guys all very much, but when it wasn’t about trying to prove yourself, it was just about, you know, enjoying this passion that I guess we all have.
So, this is a song about longing for the beginning, but uh, being okay with the present, and this, my present, has been very good to me, so thank you very much. This song’s called “Once Upon a Time.

Darren was so so so amazing and just such an incredible show. I am so proud and so blessed to have seen him. This is just the beginning. His album is going to be amazing and all of his new songs are fantastic. Standing ovation.
So can we talk about how Any of Those is pretty much destined to be a huge hit single? It’s just so. damn. catchy. and has Top 40 hit written all over it! (and not in the “ugh it’s so crappy so I’m sure it’ll somehow do well” kind of way- like it’s just seriously catchy as hell and fantastic to jam to and the type of song that’s perfect for mainstream radio play! While still being quintessentially Darren in style as well :D)
