~*~This is five minutes forever imprinted in my heart!~*~



I arrived at the arena at 2:30, and no one had shown up yet. I waited four and a half hours in the cold and saw all the wrestlers arrive at the arena. I just about died when Raven arrived, he looks even better in person than he does on TV!!! Anyway, Matt and Jeff were the last to arrive, and they hurried inside. I was disappointed, but figured that it just wasn't meant to be. So I went inside, bought a Hardy pendant, and then went to my seat, which was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Lillian was the ring announcer, and she did a beautful rendition of the national anthem. The fourth to the last match was Matt and Jeff's match, and I was in awe of them, it being my first time ever seeing them wrestle in person. Jeff was wearing a Stronger Than Death shirt and Matt was wearing their jersey. Both looked really great! They won the match of course, and Steven(Richards, it was vs Bull Buchanon and The Goodfather) got into the ring and started yelling and taking off his shirt. So of course, Matt and Jeff has to one up him, so it was shirt removal time! *grin* I wouldn't call it an angry shirt removal though, but as long as they took it off! Richards went to shake Matt's hand, but Matt put him in the Twist of Fate instead and the crowd went nuts!!! It was awesome!! After the match, I debated on whether or not I should leave, and go back to see if I could catch them leaving. I finally decided I would, and I am very happy I did!! There were only five of us out there, so both Matt and Jeff were very gracious, if not a little hurried. So I waited for the other guy to get his autograph, and then I handed Jeff the Raw magazine, you know the one with the blue cover, and handed him the marker. I had forgotten to take off the cap, so he he sticks it in my direction and asks if I can remove the cap, which I did. He signed the cover, and then handed it to Matt. The entire time I could not look either one in the eye cuz I'm actually very shy. After Jeff signed, I gave him the book and picture I had been wanting to give him in person for ages now. And in that sweet voice, he said "Wow, thank you very much" or something like that. Then he asked me my name, and I didn't quit catch it, so I didn't answer. Then Matt extended his hand for me to shake, and asked me my name. I shook his hand and told him what it was, then I shook Jeff's hand as well. I was dying inside, but managed to keep my cool. Then they had to leave, so I wished them a safe trip, and went on my way. While I was waiting for the bus, I smelled the marker cuz I am weird like that. It had a faint trace of their scent, so I was like cool! Then I smelled my hand, and the scent was even stronger! Not sure what it was exactly and if it was Matt or Jeff's, but it smelled a lot like baby powder. So I am not sure what it was, but it was very pleasant nonetheless That's about all that happened, but I am very thankful for it!!!
