Shana's First Encounter
I walk up, and I'm like, "Hey
what's up." She said hi or something, so then I asked her if it was definitely
her on the chat on the ADORE site about a week before the event. She said that
it was, although she kind of wasn't sure what I was talking about at first until
I elaborated on what "was that really you the other night" really meant.
Then, I said, "ok, well now that I know it was definitely the REAL you, here I
have a present for you." I reach in my pocket, pull out a tube of vanilla mint
toothpaste (her FAVORITE, duh), and she starts laughing. "Was that you who asked
that question?" I was nice and honest and said that no it was this girl named
Vicky (sorry Tori for screwing up!) who posts as Collie. Then, I was like, "well
I was the one who asked you about bands and wrote the little note to self thing
about 'Amy likes Fozzy.'" I had then written, "note to self: Amy likes Fozzy--must
try," to which she had responded, "note to you: Amy also likes spayed and
neutered pets!" She then talked to me about the fact that she's horrible
with computers, and I told her that we were having to tell people to be nice in
the chat because they were teasing about that before she ever got there. She
laughed and was a good spirit about that, as she is about absolutely EVERYTHING.
I told her that Chelsea, and "everyone else from the internet" says hi. She the
proceeded to ask me where Chelsea was living now, and I was like "well actually
she's going to be in NC soon, she'll be pretty close!" She actually thought that
was cool. God, I'm freaking jealous of you, Chels. I gave her a card. She
signed my book.
She was like, hey, it was really nice to meet you. Then, she signed my poster
that a friend of mine brought up to get signed since they weren't letting us
have her sign sign more than one thing at a time..........she wrote "To Shana:
Noah rocks" on it because he told her his name was Noah and he wasn't getting
anything signed for himself yadda yadda yadda..........I was able to get a pic
with her, but it's not that great because stupid Noah is a HORRIBLE
photographer, worse than me. Lol. It's just blurry, though, so it's an 8x10 in
front of my computer. LOVE IT. OH, by the way........She is so sweet
that she got up out of her chair and walked down the steps on the signing
thingy, knee brace and all, to sign something for a handicapped guy. How many
people would do that? Amy is the sweetest person I have EVER met, and I
can't WAIT for the next time. I will never forget how awesome you are, Amy.
NEVER!
