Musical Chairs In Your Underwear.
"Continuous poems about hats is just a bit limited."
"Not if you've got enough hats."
Yesterday, I went to see the London auditions for Britain's Got Talent with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tick_, because she is lovely and invited me along. It turned out that, although we had tickets, we didn't really need them; they were desperate to fill all the seats. Tick suspected that they eventually resorted to dragging unsuspecting strangers in off the street.
It was a... surreal experience. Among the acts were Half-Naked Man Who Runs Around In His Union Jack Shorts, Woman Who Recites Endless Poems About Hats and Insane Woman Who Once Attempted To Marry Piers At A Booksigning (the audience were very cruel to her, and I was saddened that Piers did not at least give her a hug). There were also an amazing electric string instrument quartet and a very good dance group, so apparently London does have at least some talent! Also, I have become strangely fond of Piers Morgan, which is entirelytick_'s fault. Merely being in her presence is enough to turn one into a Morgan fan, I swear.
ALSO, THE JUDGES WERE CONSTANTLY WHISPERING AND TOUCHING AND PIERS TUCKED AMANDA'S HAIR BEHIND HER EAR AND AMANDA WAS WEARING HALF A PAIR OF SPARKLY HANDCUFFS AND I 'SHIP THEM SO MUCH.
P.S. DEAR GIRL WHO WAS SITTING BEHIND US: WHEN AN ACT IS SINGING, YOU DO NOT LOUDLY SING ALONG. THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE MOST OBNOXIOUS THING IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO AT A TALENT SHOW AUDITION.
Another one to add to the list of Things That Are Wrong With Me: one of the stagehands/assistants to the judges - his name was Andrew - looked strikingly similar to Ryan Seacrest, the presenter of American Idol; he was British, of course, and taller, and subtly more attractive, but both Tick and I noticed his Seacrestness independently. We discussed the possibility of Simon's hiring him purely so he could shag him when he wasn't in America and therefore didn't have the real Seacrest around. By the end of the day, I had already started writing the fanfic.
I'm such a bad person.
