My story. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Kay Scarpetta · 05-06-2002, 10:56 AM

Ok. My mom and I get in the car @ 3 to go pick up Elizabeth and her mother. Well we pick them up and Elizabeth is spazzing because she is obsessed. HAHA Elizabeth. I am actually calm because I am not obsessed. I am going to meet Lisa the PERSON, not Blair. Anyways we just sit in the car for an hour and a half or something, we get into Connecticut because thats where this thing was, it was just hosted by the Landmark people. Anyways we get there at 5. We see a silver SUV with 3 bikes on the back. We pull up and it has a Van Nuys, CA cardealership thingy around the CA plate. Bingo Baby! I started screaming and my MOM PARKS NEXT TO THE CAR I'm like omg...omg..ok. Omg...omg...ok. But then I noticed there was a "NO PARKING" sign on that spot and I'm like OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but so anyways we go park somewhere else. Then as we are walking in, we go by her car. I stop and get a photo opp. with Elizabeth, and I touched Tucker's bike tire which made me extremely happy. Ahem. So then we walk in, and there is all these security people EVERYWHERE! OMG it was unbearable. It was heavy. I mean what are the gonna do, try and kill her?! Meanwhile I saw Steve and Tucker setting up books. I almost fainted cuz omg...Tucker looked at me. Anyways we go in, get seats in the third row, and get settled. I went to the bathroom to kinda ya know, "scope out" things, and I see Steve talking to these big church people setting up tables. I walk by Tucker's table and he looked at me again!!!!!! OMG...so we go back into the auditorium and sat down, and talked to the 15 yr old girl in the second row who we became friends with. Well then Lisa comes out. That girl, Christine, who is from NY and MET Lisa before, sits right behind Tucker. There was one seat open next to her, so while everyone was raising their hands and singing and not noticing that I wasn't singing, I'm like "Ok, you know what, the hell with this." I jumped over to the one seat and sat down next to Christine. RIGHT BEHIND LISA. So then Elizabeth joins me while these Baptist people are singing their songs and we sit in the same seat together. Then I started to sing just for the fun of it, then it turns into like "Wow, I'm singing, I'm prasing God, ok how cool is this"...oh yeah. Ok. Anyways I put my hand on the back of Lisa's chair with Elizabeth then Steve glances back at us and smirks so I'm like "ELIZABETH GET YOUR HAND OFF HER CHAIR!" LOL

and so then she goes up to speak after more singing. She explained to us that the reason we sing and all is because to prasie God, etc. ...Anywho, her speaking. I have to laugh. It was ALL staged. These Baptist people wanted her to talk about Jesus, not FOL. So when she took questions, I looked over on the side and it said "Go to Question 4" so they must have picked these random Church people to ask her questions, [this whole place was people from Landmark Baptist Church] and before this started she was probably stashed away in a room recieving directions. Anyways you know her. She would have LOVED to talk about FOL and answer all the kids questions, and have people sing the FOL theme song, but these people from the church were here to see Lisa Whelchel, the Preacher, instead of Lisa Whelchel, the Person. I would have liked to see her out of a..."Godly" atmosphere. So anyways you could tell it was staged because each person asked questions that kept her going on and on and on lol. And I kept taking 893247 pictures of her speaking and Steve and the kids kept looking back and chuckling at me. So anyways. She asked everyone to bow their heads while she said a prayer. So anyways then we leave, get outside and into the line. My mom said if it wasn't a school night we could have gotten at the end and talked for a while with her, because you know, she might have gotten her family over there and stuff but we got into the middle of the line. Even know I am not in school today because I feel sick to my stomach. Anyways we saw Tucker selling the MomTime stuff so I took my camera and took a picture through the people, then went back to looking straight ahead right away. He kinda looked over because he saw the flash, and you can see a thin smile on his face and he's probably thinking "Ok, why is this weird girl taking a picture of me" but -sigh- if he only knew. Then Lisa had to use the bathroom so we went outside the door standing next to these big guards and waiting for her to come out and Liz tries to get a picture but misses LOL so we go back in line. I was so mad because Christine got to stay until the end and probably got to talk to her and her kids but my mom wouldn't stay. So anyways Elizabeth gets to the line. She starts spazzing and Lisa is hysterical. Steve is behind Lisa and he is laughing too. I mean, Lisa enjoyed us. You could tell. It was probably because we were the only FACTS OF LIFE fans there! LOL I mean she must get sick of these fans always preaching to her. We spent a kinda long time with her lol. So anyways Elizabeth gets her stuff signed, and gets a picture with Lisa and moves to the side with her mom. MY turn. move up, and my mom is with me, and Lisa says "Hi!" and shy-ly I said "Hi" back. And so I let my mother introduce herself...ya know she just kept it basic, like "Hi, I'm Karli's mom, I've been a fan of the show, blah blah" and Lisa loved her lol. So then she looks at me and says "Who can I make these out to?" And I said "Karly. K-a-r-l-y" I spelt it out because she has signed things for me before for K-a-r-l-i and I didn't want her to get it confused lol. I think she kinda knew I was the same person....people have told her about me lol. So anyways she takes TFOLAOLMFTM [her book LOL] and signs it "Karli- Proverbs 3:5-6- Lisa Whelchel" which by coincidence happens to be my favorite verse..lol..anyways then she takes my picture of her which was from 1983 and signs it "Karly- Blessings! Lisa Whelchel" then my album. She starts cracking up at the sight of that and Steve laughing says "WHERE did you find that?" And Lisa goes "Yeah! Where? My kids have the cassette but not the album!" And I told her it was either from Ebay or a Christian store and her and Steve got a kick out of it you know, that I had it and stuff. And so she signed it "Karly- Blessings! Lisa Whelchel" then my mom just asked her to sign a program that said "An Evening With Lisa Whelchel" for my sister who was not there. She wrote "Jenny- Jesus Loves You Everyday! Lisa Whelchel" Anyways she says to me "Where are you from?" And I said "Oh, Springfield!" and she said "Oh! You know Elizabeth?" And Elizabeth pipes up and says "Yes we came together! And my grandparents hung out with her grandparents and my aunt taught her 4th grade and our moms knew eachother since they were little and-" then Steve is hysterical and looks at my mom and says "Is she going to hyperventalate?" And everyone starts laughing. Then Lisa looks at my mom and says "You two must be very devoted moms to bring them here tonight" and I'm thinking "Ah hah. With or without them I was going to get here somehow." but I just smiled. And then I said "Hey Lisa, I have the same birthday as you too" And she looks up with this bright expression on her face and says "Really?! WOW! Guess who else shares our birthday! Patrick Henry!" Then for a minute I said "Uh...who?" and then it donged on me and I'm like "OH! When you were in Philidelphia!" and Steve said "Yup! He told us himself" and everyone laughs. I told her I followed her journal everyday too and she liked that. Then I gave her my gift that you will have to wait and see because I took a pic of it. It had to do with Texas and at first I didn't want to give it to her but she said "Oh my goodness! It's beautiful! You know Texas is in my heart" and she smiled at me. So anyways then Steve looks at me and said "Would you like a picture?" so he moves and Lisa puts her arm around me and my mom takes it. Then she says "Hey Elizabeth, you want to get in this one?" So Liz gets on the other side of her and the 2 moms take the picture. Then, the line was getting inpatient and I knew. It was time to depart

so anyways, my mom takes the stuff and I start to walk away but then I said "Wait a minute mom" and they stop so I go over to Lisa who is chatting with Steve and I motioned for her to lean close to me and I whispered something in her ear which is um...personal so I'm not going to say it here. Anyways in the parking lot I grabbed a picture of her plate lol. The in the car I fell alseep.

The Glorious, Glorious, GLORIOUS End.
