Okay, it just hit me.

On the eleventeenthousandth repeat of the National Anthem. But yes, sitting here in tears and happiness and they were together and sounded beautiful and being in that arena yesterday is something I'm more grateful for than just about anything else in the world right now. JC might own me, heart and soul, but I love them all so bloody ridiculously much, it's making me hiccup between tears.

Two years, man.

I remember sitting on the floor in front of my television in my dorm room last February, clutching the remote and quietly making a mess of myself watching the BeeGees tribute, but this was live and I was there and for a long minute, I didn't seriously think that'd happen.

And it might be bedtime. There'll be the usual illustrated posts of both events, as well as recounts of the parties, but right now, it's just me and this prettiest little mp3. *sniffle*

isn't it just something else? *sigh*

It's so bautiful. I mostly stood there in shock looking at all of them during the actual performance, feeling the anthem more than registering it beyond oh my god, JC and Lance, but they were just as good as I thought in my stupor. Two years, yo. I feel somehow actualized in a small way, y'know?

I'm just hoping my first time seeing them all together isn't my last!

I really haven't begun to emotionally process Challenge yet. I keep taking peeks at the massive friendslist, getting misty-eyed and choke-chested, and closing the window before I utterly break down.

Whenever you get a chance, my dear, absolutely no rush, but a gentle reminder: me-and-Joey picture. Ca c'est tout. :)

Oh, goodness, emotional processing will take a while, but I'm just out of my mind with happiness that I could experience the magic of them even just once. And don't talk to me about the friendslist, I'm going journal-by-journal to keep what little sanity I still retain intact.

Absolutely, will get on that. My other computer is having issues right now that will require parts that are arriving today, but as soon as I can manage, you'll have that lovely picture. I'll post it full-size (1600x1200) in case you want to print it out, even. *hugs* Miss you already!

Yeah I kinda felt the same way, it was almost surreal seeing all five of them on stage and hearing them sing so beautifully.

Side Note: It was also good to see you again!

So surreal. It wasn't something I've ever held my breath for, but it's been something I've wanted for two years. Like I said, the whole experience was somehow actualizing.

You too! So much fun! Challenge, man - it's only half about the pretteh. We need to consolidate fandom within a state, if not a single city. That way we could party all the time!
