Okay, I went to Toronto yesterday to meet MCR at their signing at the HMV. It started at 9 pm ( a tad later, as the boys were late Razz); and we were there at around 11 am. As the time got closer, we got to the near front of the line, and MCR came in their stretch black vehicle. They all jumped out, and ran into the HMV. Minutes later, we were standing in the store, waiting to get to their table. I felt that it was too quiet, so I screamed out a few random things.

"Bob, You're a SEXX GOD!"- everyone in line laughed: and i bet bob could hear me
"CONCH SHELL!!!!"
and "Gerard! I can SEE your NOSE!" -he shook his head and laughed.

What they were wearing:
Ray- Black pants, black tee, pointy black boots...hair was PERFECT. AMAZING! gah...the fro is fuzzy on the forehead tho Razz
Bob- Dark jeans, black tee, black leather jacket....his eyes were so BLUE! his hands were all callused and cut up though...Sad
Frank: Black and white striped shirt (NOT like Mikeys old one, thicker black lines) dark pants, hair was amazing...his smile was so sweet
Mikey: Winter jacket with the fur around the collar, the darkish green one...pretty pretty eyes
Gerard: tight black pants, tight black shirt...his hair is so gorgeous...and he really does talk out of the one side of his mouth-ITS ADORABLE! his little blemish was so cute...oh, and he had black stubble Razz

We got to the front of the line, and I went last out of my friends. The following is what happened to me, for that fateful and amazing three minutes or so.

Ray: Hi, I'm Ray. (Shakes my hand)
Me: I know...can I get a hug Ray? (he nods, smiling)
Ray: Of course! (major hug, god he's so tall and muscular! and a REALLY good hugger.)
Me: I actually made you something!
Ray: Did you? Let's see! (hand him the shadowpath of him; he smiles) That is amazing...holy crap...thank you! (looking it over)
Me: You're welcome...(eyes focus on Bob)
Ray: What's your name? (I don't hear him) What's your name? (I still don't hear the poor man) Honey, what's your name? (laughing slightly)
Steph: Her name's Kristen. (giggling)
Ray: Oh, okay...(laughing as he signs my Three Cheers cover)

Me: Hi Bob.
Bob: Hey, how's it going?
Me: Good. I bought you a CD, but I don't know if you have it or not... (hands him a RUSH CD I bought earlier in the day for him)
Bob: Oh my god! This is like the ONLY one I DON'T have! Thank you! (looks over the back, Toro smiles and looks with him)
Ray + Bob: *Start singing the chorus of a Rush Song*
Me: I got you a button too. (hands Bob a Rush button)
Bob: Awesome! (takes button) Where should I pin it? (puts it on his jacket)
Me: Can I get a hug?
Bob: **censored** Yeah! (stands up and wraps his arms around me, hair brushing across my forehead) Thanks!
Me: No, thank you! (smiling)

Me: Hey Frank.
Frank: Hello. (looks at the Frankie mask in my hands, and grabs it from me) You HAVE to be kidding me. Holy **censored**! (looks up at me, smiling from ear to ear)
Me: Yeah... (Frank holds it to his face, looking around at Bob and Toro, Mikey laughs)
Bob: It looks just like you! (Toro laughs as Frank takes it off, looking back at me; handing back the mask)
Me: Oh, no...
Frank: IT'S FOR ME!? (awe-struck)
Me: Uh huh...(Frank jumps up and gives me a huge hug)
Frank: Thank you SO much, wow...just...**censored**. (smiling so wide)
Me: No problem...(looks down and realizes I still have Bob's letter with his cartoon) Oh! Here, Bob.
Bob: Thank you...hey, it's me! (laughing)

Me: Hey Mikey!
Mikey: Hey!
Me: I made this for you. (hands lionel block print of Mikey to Mikey)
Mikey: Sweet! That is so cool!
Gerard: Wow...that's good.
Mikey: Thank you! (shakes my hand)
Me: You're welcome Mikey...(smiling, look over at Gerard) Oh god...(starts crying)

Gerard: Hey...it's okay...
Me: Oh god...(still trying to stop tears)
Gerard: It's okay...(takes my hand) How are you?
Me: G-good...I bought you this CD (hands him the Dresden Dolls CD, as his face falls) I thought you might already have it...but...
Gerard: I do, you know, I got it the day it came out...(sad look in his eyes as he hands it back to me)
Me: Me too, it's so good...Well, I have the receipt, if you want to return it here for something else you'd like...(giving it back to him)
Gerard: No, I want you to take it back for something you like, since you already have it too..(hands CD back to me)
Me: But I think YOU should return it, it was a gift...(giving it back)
Gerard: (chuckling) No YOU return it....you should get something like...like...um...(thinks) Bauhaus.
Me: Bathouse? (confused)
Gerard: No...Bauhaus.
Me: Boathouse? (more confused)
Gerard: No...(laughing as Mikey starts giggling) here...(writes it down on the edge of a MyChem poster taped to the table)
Me: Thanks...(goes to take off the poster, but it is taped)
Gerard: It's stuck to the table...(knocks Mikey's elbows off it, and pulls it off, handing it to me)
Me: Thanks...can I give you a hug?
Gerard: (smiling) Of course you can..(outstretches his arms)
Me: (whispering into his ear) Thank you so much Gerard, you saved my life...I don't even want to know where I'd be without you...thank you so much...(sobbing)
Gerard: Oh, you're very welcome...(smiling, I hand him a letter I wrote him...his eyes scan the first few lines, before he looks back up at me; a sympathetic look in his eyes)
Woman in Security: I have to cut you now honey.
Me: WHAT?!
Gerard: Huh? (looks at me)
Woman: Your wristband...(laughing)
Me: Do I get to keep it?!
Woman: Of course...
Man in Security: You have to move now sweetheart.
Me: He still has my thing. (pointing at the cover inbetween Mikey and Gerard, Gerard's been staring at me, and not paying attention to the table)
Mikey: Yeah, he has her thing.
Gerard: Oh, sorry...(signs quickly) Here you go....take care, okay?
Me: I will...thank you so much guys...
Gerard: No problem...thank you...(waves, as I am ushered out of the lineup)

Yeah...BEST day in my LIFE.
I bought the Bauhaus CD.
but kept the Dresden Dolls, as Gerard's hands touched it Razz
I had my friend Tori give Ray the Home Videos, and I have NO idea what he thought of them, and she can't remember Razz

I am so happy, and meeting them, looking into their faces...I can never feel bad again...ever. Like, bad days will come and go...but they're always going to be there... in my mind, and just in how they affected me. They saved me, once more, if it's possible. Ray's sweet voice, and willingness to hug everyone in line. Bob's baby blue eyes, and his excited and happy grin as I gave him the CD. Frank's happiness as he saw the mask, and figured out that he got to keep it, his lunge over the table. Mikey's beautiful eyes, I don't even care that he doesn't have glasses anymore...he's so pretty...has skinny bony hands though..and Gerard...his caring eyes, his sweet smile...his voice...it's all too much. I wrote them each a message on the back of their art pieces...and I put my email...if they have time, who knows...I can only hope that they remember me a litte, even if it's as the crazy crying fit girl...Razz It was the best day of my life, and saved me.

~Kristen xoxo

Ray: A shadowpath of Ray (where you take all the shadows in the picture and overlay them with Chinese Black Ink; forming an image) **am working on a copy of the same picture**

Bob: A cartoon of Bob on the letter that I gave him **sorry, gave him only copy**

Frank: The Mask of Frankie **have a picture that I will post eventually**

Mikey: Lionel Block Print of Mikey (Carve image into block of linolium and spread ink over it, to later print onto paper) **have another copy I will eventually scan**

Gerard: Cartoon of Gerard on the letter **only copy**

Oh, and apparently I was more than 5 mins Razz
Tori and Steph thought I died; or fainted or something- as I was taking so long Razz
oops...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I love you!
