AHHHHHHHHH!!!! BEST. DAY. EVERRRRRRR.I don't even know where to begin!!!! Today was the coolest thing everrrrr. We got to the Barbican at just after 3 and the place was very busy! Saw my bb

thisissirius and the usual Merlin event peeps. Hee. (Highlight of my day, ofcourse Siri!) Then I heard they'd been there since 2 and had spoken to Katie and I was very very jealous! Hee.
Anyway we got our FRONT ROW SEATS and then went to sit inside. I was with my little brother (who's 8) and my sis
heartsafool and we were sitting right next to all the seats marked "reserved". Totally the first clue that it was going to be an awesome day!!! Hehe.
So, first on was BRADLEY and he was his usual charming self. He is still sporting the beard and it looks very delicious. It doesn't look as good in pictures but I think i'm getting used to it in person because it's so hot! Also it seems someone heard that he is doing it for
movember (a charity for men's health in which men grow beards/moustaches to raise money), which I had thought he might be, so that's pretty cool of him. Hopefully he will shave next month!
Anyway then Bradley took a seat, which was like five seats down from me and I had to try so very very hard not to keep looking at him as I was sitting next to the
Merlin crew. But I didn't really succeed because he is so so pretty. And he touches his beard alot and was completely just lounging on the seat. Also at one point he let out his classic loud laugh but it was like 10 seconds after the funny thing happened. I thought that was pretty funny!
Katie was next and she came on and was adorable and lovely. When she came and sat down she kind of leaned forward and saw me and gave a little wave! She totally recognised me! Hee. That was adorable.
There were loads of behind the scenes stuff shown, how they do the music, how they do the make up (a kid was turned into a troll! well not really, but his arm) and how they do all the special effects!
Colin wasn't there for ages (prob not ages, but it felt like it!) because he was in Scotland but then he finally came!! Oh Colin!!!!!!! UP CLOSE. GOD HE IS SO SO PRETTY. But also so skinny!!!
Then they called Bradley and Katie back up and it was OT3 ON THE STAGE TOGETHER!!!! JSFYQGDQUFG!!!! BE STILL MY HEART!!! GOD I LOVE THEM SOOOOOO MUCH!!!
I can't remember everything they said, and i'm sure many people will remember it better, because my brain was all JSFGYGFUGFDFHIFH
LEANING OVER TO TALK TO EACH OTHER and just general cuteness. Eventually Bradley talked about how awesome he is at the fight scenes and he needs no help at all! Que the entrance of the stunt co-ordinator for the show. Then Bradley was very very hot and did some live sword fighting. With some help from Colin handing Bradley the sword/shield/glove and Bradley making some comment about his "servant". Hee.
After that the boys stood to the side while Katie acted out how swordfighting is learnt! She was pretty awesome!!! And the boys were just watching and standing close. Hmmm.
They ended with a NEW PROMO which showed some pretty epic stuff still to come on the show!! OMG SO EXCITING!!!!
Once it was over we got a signing!!! Which was pretty damn awesome of them!! So they came and sat outside at the table and everyone queued up. We were nearish the front and early on there was just a big swarm around the table and it wasn't really organised so it was kind of hard to talk to them.
But anyway my little brother spoke to Bradley again. He remembered my brother from the FB signing!! And my brother is a little quiet so when Bradley was asking how to spell his name he couldn't hear was my brother was saying so he kind of grabbed him lightly and shook him (in a cute way) and was all "speak up man!". Hee. Very cute.
I gave him my
Valiant book for Colin to sign and he looked at it, and I was all "you've already signed that, Colin please!" Hehe. I got all four of them to sign that from different places!!! They all signed a postcard and Katie handed it over to my brother and gave him a big smile.
Anyway it was so busy we kind of moved away without saying much more which obviously was not enough for me! Hehe. I went around to the other side and stood by Katie and took more pics. I was basically standing right next to her and at one point she looked up and the flash of my camera went off in her eyes! I was like
ooops, sorry Katie! Didn't mean to do that! But she was totally sweet about it and posed for a proper pic of herself (in the set below, and utterly gorgeous!!)
In between her signing things she kept talking to me too. She remembered me from all the times before and was just lovely. We were actually talking about lots of random things. How she is enjoying time off. How I am clearly her favourite, and how there needs to be more Morgana! Haha.
At one point I was all "
Hey Colin" because he kinda looked over but he didn't hear so Katie was all "
she's saying hey to you" and then he looked and said hey and smiled. I have realised I pretty much go jsjswfyef2efefugfeffj when it comes to the boys, but with Katie I can actually talk.
I stood there the whole time basically which was a very long time. I got my other book which I had Angel and Bradley sign at FB signed by Katie and Colin too for my brother. When Colin did it I said thanks, it's for my brother and pointed to my brother who was standing aside on the steps, and Colin was so cute and did a big grin and thumbs up towards him, which just made my brothers day! Hee.
A few other things, at one point two little girls came over to give Katie bracelets they'd made themselves and she actually proper teared up at them! She was so genuinely happy and touched it was adorable!! She hugged both girls and got a pic with them.
Another couple of people had Merlin calendar's that were homemade and were really pretty awesome and huge. Katie looked through the pics and there were a few slashy type ones of CB and she was like hmmm. This is worrying. LOL. Also the second one she was all "there is way too much Bradley in here and not enough Morgana." Haha.
At the end they were trying to finish up but Katie is so sweet she stays until the very last moment. I asked for a picture and she said yes! And gave me a big hug and kiss on the cheek and said thanks for being so patient! She was adorable!!! Seriously, she's so so so lovely and friendly.
AND THAT WAS THE END!!!! JSJFGEYFG!!!! SO EXCITING OMG. I DON'T THINK MY WORDS DO IT ANY JUSTICE,
( SO HERE, HAVE SOME PICTURES INSTEAD!!!! )Oooh, I realised I didn't even note the things of importance that were discussed so here is a quick run down:
# SEASON THREE CONFIRMED!! They're starting to storyboard in Jan and filming in March.
# Katie confirmed this as we talked about how she is currently just enjoying her free time and regrouping.
# I mentioned I missed her at the FB signing and she said they will be doing more of those soon she thinks so yay! I am so there.
P.S I WATCHED MERLIN HOURS AFTER I GOT HOME BECAUSE I COULDN'T HANDLE THAT MUCH EXCITEMENT. BUT THAT IS FOR ANOTHER POST!!! BECAUSE OMG JSFYRGFUEHFEK!!!!
