Um. You guys. YOU GUYS.

I JUST MET GERARD WAY AND LYN-Z ON THE STREETS OF DUBLIN!!!!!!!

I just. What? WHAT???? How does this HAPPEN??? OMG LIFE I FORGIVE YOU FOR ALL THE SHIT YOU GAVE ME FOR BRINGING ME TO THAT STREET CORNER AT THE SAME TIME AS GERARD WAY AND HIS BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL WIFE.

LSDfkjldskfjlsdjf I'm still SHAKING for joy. I just. Oh my god they were BEAUTIFUL. I mean, pictures do do them justice because there are some awesome photos out there but they were, like, IN THE FLESH and GORGEOUS and SWEET and I talked to them for A WHOLE TWO MINUTES OR SOMETHING. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Okay okay I recapped the whole conversation to Rachel so now I'm going to post that since I can barely type!!

exsequar: !!!!!!!!!
txtequilanights: tell me everythiiiiing
exsequar: okaaaaaay
omg im still shaking
um um um
ok so i saw these two people crossing the street and the girl looked like Lynz and I did a doubel take and kind of squealed inside
so i jogged after them and kind of said "hi, excuse me, hi, sorry to bother you... gerard way?"
txtequilanights: ahahaha omg you are way braver than me
exsequar: i would have KICKED myself FOREVER if i hadnt done it
txtequilanights: TRUE
what did they saaaaaay?
exsequar: So he kind of turned around and smiled alitle and was like "Hi"
so i was like "I was at the show in London, it was fantastic!"
and he smiled and held out his hand and said "rock on!" and I SHOOK GERARD'S HAND
txtequilanights: !!!!!!!
exsequar: and Lynz was kind of hovering behind him so i said "both of you, you were wonderful!" and i held out my hand to her and SHOOK LYNZ'S HAND TOO
txtequilanights: !!!!!!!
exsequar: Then Gerard got a puzzled frown on his face and said "Are you American?"
txtequilanights: ahaha an american in ireland, AMAZING
exsequar: And I was like, "Yeah, I'm from Connecticut, right by Jersey!" (hahaha **facepalm**)
and Lynz went "Ooh, where?" and I said "I live in Bridgeport" and she smiled her beautiful smile and said "I'm from Connecticut!"
!!!!
txtequilanights: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
exsequar: So then Gerard looked kind of embarrassed and looked around a bit and said something like "So can you tell me where anything is around here?"
and I said "Well what are you looking for?"
and they were both like "Something to do! Entertainment?"
and I kind of laughed and babbled some directions about how we're on the South Side on George's street, and if they kept going straight they'd hit Grafton, a major shopping area, and just past that was Trinity (where I go, of course I inserted that) and then north of the Liffey is O'Connell street, another big shopping area
And they were like "Oh cool, thanks!"
and then some pleasantries were exchanged and I think he said I'm glad you enjoyed the show or something like that, and thanks for the directions, and then they walked off!
AND I STARTED TREMBLING VIOLENTLY
txtequilanights: EEEEE OMMMMG
that is awesome
exsequar: RACHEL. DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?????????
txtequilanights: IT SO DID
exsequar: !!!! EEEEEE
txtequilanights: !!!
exsequar: sdfjsldkjlsd
I'M STILL SHAKING

Augh. AUGH. SERIOUSLY. STILL SHAKING. TREMBLING. I kept my cool during the actual conversation but as soon as they walked away I started trembling violently and then I burst out into overjoyed giggles (when they were well out of earshot!) and I think the people around me thought I was crazy, but OMG GERARD WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. Of course now I'm wishing I said something like give them my best wishes for Bob and Frank and his family, or asked why they decided to play Desert Song or SOMETHING, but perhaps they wouldn't have appreciated that. Gerard looked slightly wary but I think he was relieved I was a sane fan which is why he felt comfortable asking directions. YAY I WAS A SANE FAN YOU GUYS. I HELD MY COOL.

And I'm so flabbergasted because it was such an insane confluence of events that brought me to that exact spot. I MEAN IT'S A FUCKING CITY. I went into college because I thought I had class, but it was canceled, so I texted Colin to see if he was free but he was working on a project, so I walked home on George's Street to buy a frying pan and get some keys copied, so all that time spent combined with the route i chose combined with me forgetting class was canceled brought me to that exact spot where Gerard and Lyn-Z were being tourists. SDfsldkfjsldkfjsldkfjsd. YOU GUYS. NO REALLY.

sdflksjdlfjksdflksdjflskdjldfsjkdlfjk YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

*dies happy*

ETA: I THINK they're staying at the huge fancy hotel across the street from me!! They were walking out of the street that leads right to it, and it's, you know, huge and fancy, and there's some kind of shenanigans going on in the huge glass room upstairs so I'm thinking it's maybe the band and their people just hanging out. Which, dlfkjsldjkf, WHAT? Ahahahaha MY LIFE WHAT IS THIS.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. You're so lucky! *is so fucking jealous*


I'm from CT, too! And I was in Ireland for a month in July. Odd. Haha.

[16paperlanterns.livejournal.com]

ahahaha OH MY GOD THAT'S AMAZING.
*prays they'll be tourists in Rome when she's living there next year*

I'm seriously jealous of you. but high five for being sane fans :DD (I have been one twice. well, once, because the first time I was about to pass out from exhaustion. but yeah 8] xD )

[jebbypal]

omg.. and I bet you are even more glad to that you went to the concert because it would have been lame to say "I lost my id and so couldn't fly to see you"...though maybe you would have scroed pity tickets to their next show then?

*dances you*

That is so cool....are you going to have washed you hand by the time you get state side?

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Heee, yes, it was really awesome to have that to start a conversation with! I bet it was kind of surprising, meeting an American in Dublin who'd been to their London show, LOL. I'm probably unique in that! \o/

I have already washed my hands, because that's... gross, hee. BUT I STILL TOUCHED GERARD AND LYNZ! *beams*

[cheapcrowd.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, that is *so* awesome. \o/ And now I'm wondering where in CT Lyn-Z is from.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm wondering that too! Of course I wasn't coherent enough to ask, or to, you know, offer my best wishes for Frankie. Dur!

[letxmexlove.livejournal.com]

Ik now you don't know me but I feel the need to comment.
Oh man that's freaking sweet!!!!
It's awesome that you were able to keep your cool while talking to them and then later on freaking out.
haha, life is funny sometimes.
It's awesome that you got to see them and meet them!
:DDD

[sandwich-armada.livejournal.com]

*de-lurkifies* OK, so I've been sporadically reading your Livejournal for a while now (and GOSH that doesn't sound at ALL creepy :|), I think initially because I was skulking around for Supernatural stuff and came across you, and this finally seems like a decent time to say a) Hi, I'm Laura! *waves* and b) THIS IS THE MOST FANTASTIC THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE EVER. OH MY GOD.

Kudos to you for being a cool fan, too! Goodness knows it's not easy to do with Gerard Way standing right there, is it? :D Anyway, thanks for brightening my day with this awesomeness.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Not creepy, it's cool that you find my ridiculous ramblings entertaining :)

Hi Laura! I'm Anne! Nice to meet you!

And um. MOST FANTASTIC EVER AUGH. *flailyhands* I seriously can't quite process it. It's all a blur in my mind, BUT IT HAPPENED!!! \o/

Hehe, it was so weird, it was just like, a normal conversation! I didn't stutter or ANYTHING. But as soon as they walked away my hands started shaking so hard i could barely hold my phone, LOL. Way to go adrenaline! \o/

I'm glad my joy gave you some happiness too :D

[sandwich-armada.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I'm glad. I can never tell, e-socializing being as awkward as it is. :)

Serious props to you for being able to function conversationally, though! Literally every time I've had some occasion to meet/encounter someone in MCR (or any other band/movie/anything I like, for that matter) I've come away feeling like I've made a truly epic fool of myself. :D

I think the coolest part is that this random awesome encounter happened to YOU, who has had such a shitstorm of bad luck leading up to your MCR show. I feel like karma has put a serious down-payment on making up for the crap it's put you through, and good thing happening to people who deserve them is pretty much always awesome.

[falsepretences.livejournal.com]

Connecticut..haha.
I'm an Au Pair here right now, not far from Bridgeport.
In filthy rich Weston if that tells you anything..hehe.

And meeting Gee and LynZ, that's just so cool xD I met Ray and Krista in Sep at a bar in Jersey City - that felt just as cool and surreal to me as your experience hehe.

[carryinon23.livejournal.com]

So I know I don't know you and what not but you had a link and your story was just so sweet that I had to comment ^.^

I'm REALLY! happy for you! And also REALLY!! Happy that you didn't act like a crazy/insane fan :) lol.

When I met Gerard it was the same way, I was just like shaking and stuff afterwards and wished that I'd said something better but I think I said the most important thing which was how much their music changed me and made me feel ok to be me and how I know one day they'll have to quite but it just can't be anytime soon cause I'll go crazy.

hahaha.

it's also really comforting that Gerard does normal stuff :) hahaha. and he like, gets out when on tour :D

yeah i know its pathetic... but i worry about that boy...

[teaspoon.livejournal.com]

so much flail for you, miss! awww, them.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Gah, THEM! *flappyhands* They were so lovely and sweet and wow I may just have a crush on LynZ now *grins*

OH MY GOD! YOU ARE SOO LUCKY!

[iamsupernova.livejournal.com]

AAAAHHHH, THAT'S INSANE. THAT IS SO CUTE. THAT IS SOOOOO CUTE.

[damson.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. That's so brilliantly random, FATE IS WONDERFUL!

I was at MSI's gig in the Voodoo Lounge on the Sunday night and heard he was there. It's cool they got to have time off and wander around Dublin (relatively!) anonymously.

Fair play to you for keeping in sane, don't think I'd have had the balls to approach them. Lol.

[crazyluv4mcr.livejournal.com]

OMG that is so awsome! I doubt i could have kept my cool!! Well maybe, but you never know.
I met the band through a meet n greet a while back, I know what you mean about trembling I so was!! :D
Im so glad for you!
*huggggssss* holly

Your so lucky

[(Anonymous)]

[dreamyraynbo.livejournal.com]

I......really kind of hate you just a little bit. In the best of ways, promise, but still... OMFG. No words. Just...nygh.

You are awesome for being a sane fan and giving directions and not scaring them away. Seriously awesome. Wow.

Followed you here from weemo_closet, btw.
