Hollywood! cont'd

I found the restaurant. Ate some food. It was amazing to be so free to do whatever I wanted! I met up with Kara, her mom, and sister who are lovely and just had a great day!  We went to Hollywood Blvd. and I just loved it!  Before Hollywood Blvd though we had to act super happy for the camera about"arriving" to the hotel even though we came 12 hours earlier lol. There was a lot of acting.  The next day we had makeovers! It was the day of the premiere and I was sooo excited.  Once the camera crew came we had to go over our lines like a million times.  I just hated the forced smile etc they made me do...not my thing. I tried my hardest though lol.  We went over and over our reactions and being happy.  So when the glam squad came it was a lot to say the least.  My guy Neeko had done so many celebs I couldn't even count them all! He had this girl who was like his asst. and literally repeated anything anyone said around her....so yeah, kind of annoying.  He was definitively confident in his skills!  I told him how my bff does my hair in beauty school and he was like "well this is def not beauty school!" I was like okay...sassier then Cinna(; But he wasss amazing! Oh and our stylist was cool too!  And about that...I'm still really upset that they told us we would need a dress. I spent my whole weekend, my friend's day, my aunt's money, and my patience looking for that dress!  I was so upset!! I was like well can I wear it? Cause at this point I had been so anxious about finding the damn dress I just wanted to wear it. But they said it was too prommy even though I sent the people on the east coast a picture of it at their request and they said it was fine!  No communication there...whatevs, even though I hate short dressed I choose my dress because it was good waste up.  So once we were on the carpet I was asked who I was in the movie, which tribute?! So that was funny!  And we were treated like celebs. Verrrry interesting being treated like VIP. So once we were there there was no room for Kara and I to stand together. It was Lionsgate's fault but still really annoying nonthelss cause Kara and  could not do it together!  Also I was very disappointed in the fact that when Jenn came there was really no time so I wasn't allowed to ask her a true fan question.  At the end of the day I was a fan who won this competition and I think we should have had more say in how we acted!  I was told a bunch of times how good I was yada yada. The woman from TV Guide next to me seemed annoyed to be there and I just feel like I would have been too if I didn't love the franchise. Like it's just not my scene!  I got to interview Gary Ross the director and I called him a God....I interviewed Jack Quaid and I had a blast! I also interviewed Josh and Jenn but there's were fast! I talked to Cody Simpson for awhile and Willow and Amandla who play Prim and Rue!(:  I hated how we had to spilt up who we talked to until the end, Kara convinced them to let me up during her time too so that was fun!  It was crazy cause we Gary came up no one (Kara or Mike) knew who he was!!! After we saw the movie (loved it) minus Cody Simpson and his sister who were sitting next to me talking the whole time...then we did another segment and people asked for photos with us!!! We talked about how great it was! And then off to the after party we went where we literally hob nobbed with young Hollywood to quote wendy! I went up to Darren Criss!  SOOO cool! I just loved it all. Next I'll say my reaction to flying out a third time, this time to NYC and how I felt about the video piece they put together.
