This is my Bieber Experience. I would never have imagined me…

This is my Bieber Experience. I would never have imagined me writing this but here goes. Every time Justin came to London I would always go see him, even just to catch a glimpse or see his head poke out from the top of a car. I remember the first time I saw him, it was at Westfield Stratford and I saw him perform a few songs. I camped since 3 a.m. just too see him. I went to London a few times after that and only saw Justin’s head – which don’t get me wrong was amazing that  I was still so close to him. But then on September 12th 2012, I finally met Justin and Alfredo, it was the most amazing day of my life. I didn’t expect it at all but I went too Capital FM, as people were saying Justin would be there, which was a rumor. A couple friends and I bumped into Nathan from The Wanted, he told us where Justin was staying. I was so excited because I knew it wasn’t a joke. I knew Justin was actually staying there. We travelled to the hotel and waited for 3-4 hours and Dan came out. He spoke to a few of us but had to leave as he was practicing for a performance. Then 30 minutes later Justin, Kenny, and Alfredo came out and there was about 20-30 girls there. Some girls all ran to Justin, so he ran back inside the hotel and Kenny was telling us to get behind the barriers . We all got behind the barriers and Justin and Alfredo came back out. Alfredo was filming and he stood right in front of us. I didn’t know what to say and he couldn’t take pictures as he was holding a huge camera so I said, “Alfredo can I touch you?” I probably sounded like a pervert I know but he held my hand. Justin was moving down the line closer to us and I took a photo with him, it all went so quickly but it was the best experience of my life. I couldn’t even believe it until an hour after. I rang my mum and I was speechless, she was speechless. Never give up, dream do come true. Two months after I met Justin he followed me on Twitter. I used to spend hours and hours tweeting him too follow me but I just simply tweeted him once saying, ‘I love you’ and he followed me. I didn’t expect it at all. An hour after Justin followed me, Alfredo followed me. It was another one of the best days of my life. I was so shocked and I was in school. Everyone was so happy for me and I had a smile on my face all day. NEVER SAY NEVER and BELIEVE because dreams DO come true.  -Chelsey (@FredoAteMyOreos) See the original post: This is my Bieber Experience. I would never have imagined me…

My name is Scarlet & this may not be the best picture ever,…

My name is Scarlet & this may not be the best picture ever, but the story behind it is one I will  never  forget. When Justin was in Manchester at the beginning of 2011 for his My World Tour, we were determined to meet Justin. We went to his hotel when he arrived but he wasn’t allowed out because there was about a thousand girls there. March 21st was his concert – one of the best concerts of my life. Nothing will compare to that concert. After that, we thought Justin left Manchester and our chance of meeting him was gone. After school on March 22nd, I checked Twitter and everyone had been saying that Justin was at the Chill Factor, which is a skiing place about 2 minutes away from my house . My friend’s dad picked me and my friend up and we went to the Chill Factor ASAP. We spoke to some of the people who worked there and they said he had been in about 2 hours ago, and that he’d left. Then people were saying he was still at his hotel, which we thought he would’ve left the day before. My friend’s mum [one of the girls in the picture] drove us to the Lowery hotel where Justin had been staying and there was about 10 girls there saying he had just arrived back at the hotel, about 5 minutes before we had got there. So we decided to stay there for a while. Obviously we weren’t waiting on the hotel steps, we were behind these barriers they had put up near the hotel for fans. About 10 minutes of waiting, Katy Perry had got in her car and stopped at the barriers to talk to us for a minute. Let me add- she was so sweet and absolutely beautiful. We waited another half an hour and some fans spotted Scooter, Dan, Carin and Allison walking out of the back of the hotel, so we went over and got a few pictures with them, then Scooter insisted we went back to the front of the hotel as Justin was leaving soon and may come over to say hello. So we all ran back, and within the space of 5 minutes Justin left the hotel and stopped his car just in front of the barriers. He opened the door and said hello to us all. He was with Kenny, Alfredo and Jaden Smith in the car, so they all waved too. For some reason, me, Emma and Georgia decided to run after the car. We ran until the car stopped at some traffic lights. We didn’t know what to do, because the car windows were blacked out so we couldn’t tell whether Justin was looking or not. By this time, we were all in tears. Emma said, “Justin, please open the door, it’s only us three here!” but the door still didn’t open. By now, I was full on crying. Looking back, I regret crying so much). Then, after a couple of seconds of waiting hopelessly, I decided to turn around because I thought there was no way he would have time to open the car door and see us now anyway, surely the traffic lights would go on green soon. We heard the car door open, and we froze. Justin was half standing up in the car and he went, “Shhh, c’mon lets get a picture.”  For some stupid reason, I decided getting in the picture wasn’t a good idea because I was crying so much. Thank God Justin spotted me at the side of the car before Moshi {his driver} had taken the picture. He put his hand out and said to me, “Hey you, get in this picture.” So I did. The picture wouldn’t take at first, so Justin was joking around with Moshi shouting at him to hurry up. Once the picture had taken, we said thank you about a million times and said our goodbyes and he closed the door. We ran back to our other friends, screaming and crying like babies,  who stayed at the hotel whilst we had people in traffic behind Justin’s car looking at us as if we were some kind of monsters. And I can honestly say that was the best day of my  entire  life so far. – @bieberandhoran Here is the original post: My name is Scarlet & this may not be the best picture ever,…

One Hundred Naked Citizens: One Hundred Leaked Body Scans

At the heart of the controversy over “body scanners” is a promise: The images of our naked bodies will never be public. U.S. Marshals in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on their scanner. These are those images. A Gizmodo investigation has revealed 100 of the photographs saved by the Gen 2 millimeter wave scanner from Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., obtained by a FOIA request after it was recently revealed that U.S. Marshals operating the machine in the Orlando, Florida courthouse had improperly-perhaps illegally-saved images of the scans of public servants and private citizens. http://gizmodo.com/5690749/these-are-the-first-100-leaked-body-scans added by: insaintity
