Finally met CRISS, YIPPEE!!!!
August 5, 2009Hi everyone, I'm so FREAKIN' HAPPY because I met Criss and wanted to tell you all about my encounter. I went to the signing on Saturday, August 1st and was so glad I made the trip out there. Mind you, I made these plans less than 2 weeks before the signing but nothing was going to stop me from meeting Criss. I also went to see Believe on Friday night and I must say, a lot changed from when I saw it back in October but I was still very pleased with the show. So, I woke up early on Saturday morning, headed to Circus Circus, had breakfast and went right to the Mindfreak store to buy my items. I spent over $100 on merchandise in 2 days but hey, Criss is so worth it. After purchasing my items, I went straight to the line and luckily, the line wasn't too bad. I heard that it's best to get there early because if there are too many people, it's a possibility that Criss can't get to everybody so I wasn't going back to Jersey empty-handed. I was probably the 50th person in line and met some wonderful people (Jen and Maggie). I was chatting with these wonderful ladies and the time seemed to pass pretty fast because all we did was talk about Criss, our favorite Mindfreak episodes, Believe and why he's so HOTTTTTTTTTT (Hey, I had to throw that in there).
Then all of a sudden, we hear screaming and guess who comes out???? I was very, very surprised that Criss was early and by early, I mean 1245-1250. I also heard that Criss tends to run a little late but you know what, I would've waited till midnight for him because my trip out to Vegas was all about him. I couldn't believe I was finally going to meet this BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!! So, the security guard told us to head by the window of the store because we were next to meet Criss. We stood right by the window and I was in awe of what I saw. My heart was racing and I kept telling myself, not to pass out or say anything stupid (I didn't do either, LOL). As we were moving up, I told the very nice security guard that I had a few bags of lollipops for Criss and wanted to give them to him if it was okay. He asked if he could inspect the bag which I said of course and once he was done, he said okay, you can give it to him.
When my turn came, I told myself stay calm and be yourself. This was our conversation: Criss: Hey sweetie, how are you???? Me: I'm good sweetie, how are you???? Criss: Fine, thanks (as he's smiling away). Me: Criss, I got you a little something because you're so awesome Criss: AWWWWWWWWWW, you didn't have to get me anything Me: Yes, I did because I wanted to and you are so awesome Criss: Whoa, lollipops, these are my favorite Me: Yes, I know that. Any loyal fan would know your favorite kind of lollipops Criss: Thanks so much Me: You are very welcome (This is the best part) Me: Criss, I told the gang in Jersey that I was going to get a kick-a$$ picture with you so I have to keep my word to them. (Criss then slides his chair slightly back from his desk). Criss: Sit on my lap (he's slapping his hand on his right leg) Me: ARE YOU SERIOUS???? Criss: Yeah, sit on my lap Me: OH S**T
So, I sit on his lap and Tommy snapped the pic of us; I had a HUGE SMILE on my face. I couldn't believe it, WOW!!!! He is a little flirty, HAHA!!!!
Criss: Thank you so much for coming to the signing and for all your support.. It's nice to see you again!!!! Me: My pleasure, anytime but this is the first time I'm meeting you. Criss: Really, I know I've seen you before???? Me: Well, maybe it was last year at the Believe premiere when I was screaming my brains out Criss: Yeah, you and everybody else were screaming their brains out Me: Nope, b/c I was screaming the loudest Criss: HAHA, take care, thanks again
As you can see, I've been on cloud 99 ever since and it was an extreme pleasure to meet this fine man. He is everything you wonderful Loyals said he was: sweet, appreciative, genuine and a FLIRT. I would like to thank all my wonderful Loyal friends for their support, especially Ellen, Jess, Jen and Maggie. I never thought I was going to meet Criss but I did and hope this isn't the last time I see his BEAUTIFUL face and presence. Criss:
