The best weekend of my life :D
Friday: Sydney came to my house which was cool. We ended up going to laser tag and go karting. Now that I drive a normal car, I start going slow around corners (with the go kart). haha. With laser tag, i was the best on my team of one of the games and then i actually came in first for the other game *dies from shock* . We stayed there until midnight and then we came back to my place and played american idol and DDR until about 2. After that she started asking me questions about good charlotte, so i filled her in.Finally at about 3:30 or 4 we went to sleep.
Saturday: I got a laptop for school :) but my mom said i can use it now plus she's gonna use it till i go back. On the way to Toronto Sydney and i were messin around with it. It took us about 4 1/2 hours to get there. Once we got there we both were hyper so my mom took us out to the CN Tower so we could go to the top but then we'd be really late for the concert so we chilled in the hotel. It was the nicest hotel room i've ever stayed in cause it had a living room, 2 TV's, a bedroom, and 2 bathrooms. Anyways the concert was amazing :D. Benji is so adorable, he was following Joel around and Joel did not notice, then Joel looked back and Benji pretended like nothing happened and once Joel turned to the audience Benji started laughing. They also sang 2 songs I thought they would never sing. Benji whispered something to Joel and everyone except Benji left the stage . That's when he sang Wounded, it was so sad :(. Even sadder was Benji sang Emotionless by himself. I think he was trying to get Joel to come out and sing but he did not want to. The songs they ended up singing were: girls and boys, the anthem,riot girl,bloody valentine, hold on, the young and hopeless, lifestyles of the rich and famous, emotionless,predictable, mountain,walk away, the chronicles of life and death (i love seeing them do that live), We Believe, I just wanna Live, S.O.S, WOunded, The intro for TCOLAD, The world is black , and festival song. Once the concert was over Sydney and I went to buy shirts, that took forever. Then we waited 2 hours after the concert to see if they would come out but they never did. Once we went to the hotel we watched meet the Fockers but i ended up falling asleep half an hour into it.
Sunday: We got up and ate breakfast.Then we went to The Eaton's Centre (the mall there) and i ended up getting a green day poster, the soundtrack to Eurotrip, american pie (the movie) and the chronicles of life and death single. That morning my mom mentioned since i did not get any autographs i could go to the show in London that night to see them, so i checked on ticketmater and looked for a hotel.SHe also said that morning we could stop in London (since we pass it on our way home) and go to the venue for a few minutes to see if you could see thier tour bus and if they were giving autographs. Well, according to the people who were waiting there, the bus had just arrived and they had not came out yet. Sydney and I ended up waiting for 45 minutes but no one came out >:o.Then she told me on the way home " I want you to do something and if you do I will drive you back to London"(since its 2 hours from my house) and if you get home and can get a ticket sent to the box office. We did not end up getting home till 7. Which made my dad mad because he had to go work but did not have anyone to babysit Tony plus he thought she was going to get hime at 5:30 cause my mom called from London at 4:30 (and did not tell him we were stopping). Sydney's parents were also mad cause she had told them 6:15 and they had an additional 3 hours to drive. After they left i looked up tickets but you could not get tickets online so my mom called the box office and they closed at 8:30 (so we would not make it). I was dissapointed so I told my mom "i'm going upstairs to go to sleep". Then she said "I know your dissapointed but who said we couldn't drive back to get thier autographs?". I was like "mom that's crazy! you would actually do it? Knowing there's a chance and you would have driven 2 hours for nothing?" She said "Yeah if you want to." So we went. We did not leave until 9 so we would have gotten there at 11 which would be around the ending of the concert but on the way there the highway closed down and we had to take a long 1 laned street as a detour and then a huge thunderstrom hit. I mean it was horrible the lightning was like a strobe light, the bolts we hitting close to the ground , plus you could barely see out the windows from the rain (which was bad cause my mom hates thunder). Finally at 11:30 we got to london and my mom was like we probably missed them so be prepared. Well we got to the venue and out in front it was dead but then we got to the place where we had seen thier bus with the barracades around it and about 100 people were there standing. I immeadetly was like stop the car! so i grabbed my sharpie and my chronicles of life and death cd cover.
Today: I was originally standing right at the barracade but then at about 12:00 Billy came out and signed and I thought that he would not get to us, so i ran to the side he was on and ended up being in the second row. WHen he came to us i did get a chance to talk to him but i did reach my arm up to get his autograph. He is alot skinnier than he appears on stage. I could not believe i got it . Then at about 12:30 Paul began making his way through the line, when he got to me i shouted out "you guys are so awesome" then he looked up at me smiled and said "thanks" . I can't believe i made him smile *dies from heart attack* I almost had a teenie moment right there, i wanted to start crying from excitement but i did not. Paul and Billy ended up going back to the bus at 12:55. At 1, two of the girls who were standing at the baracade had to leave so i tried to push my way to it but this girl beat me and then i asked "can i squeeze in?" and her friend siad "move over she's really nice." so she let me :D I feel bad cause at 1:05 Benji came out and signed. Benji looks a lot shorter than on stage,he's about an inch taller then me, skinner then on stage, and he looks hotter then on stage. He was wearing these baggy jeans, a black cap, and a black hoodie with the hood on. Here's our litte convo (since security said to everyone they had to go soon):
Me: I love you guys so much and this made my summer.
Benji: Thank you *gives a small grin*
They girl next to me: you guys did not play festival song!
Benji: we didn't? I thought we did.
Me:*blurts out*Yesturday when I saw you, you guys did.
Benji: *looks at me* I guess it just depends on the mood
Me:yeah
They are really nice guys and my respect for them has gone up.Joel did not come out but according to my mom he tried to but security made him go back in.
I still don't believe it. I keep thinking that was only a dream. I would like to thank my mom for being so awesome and caring enough to drive a total of 9 hours in one day (cause it took 6 hours to get home from toronto), sit in the car for 2 more hours while i got thier autographs and for preparing herself to follow the tour bus in case they did not sign. I also wanna thank god for that huge thunderstorm cause the security guard was saying the rain caused the delay for the bus leaving. Next time if i ever meet them again i'll make sure to bring a camera (cause i could not find my cell phone and was in a hurry). ALright i gotta get upstairs since its getting late.
