Meeting My Chemical Romance mind-blowing

Last updated Monday, April 18, 2011 - 3:06am

My heart was beating so fast, I thought it was going to explode! The only thing that was separating Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero and Ray Toro from me, was an ugly, plastic curtain.

I remember the security guard motioning us to come in because it was our turn. I walked through the curtain and the thought running through my mind was that there was no way this was real!! As I walked a few steps farther, I saw the beautiful, fiery, red hair -- it was Gerard Way. Then I knew it was real, and my inspiring idol was only a few feet away.

When you hear the word "miracle," what comes to mind? I think about things beyond the impossible happening. I had never witnessed or thought that a miracle had occurred in my life -- until last summer.

Whenever I am depressed or lonely or just have some amazing news to share, I call my other half and best friend, Alisha Danielle Cameron. I have known her for 13 years; we became inseparable starting from age 4 when we met at preschool.

As we all know, Christmas can be a wonderful time of giving and receiving. Gifts come in many shapes, sizes, forms and colors.

The best part of a gift is never knowing what's coming. Some gifts we can't wait to receive; others, we simply want to forget that they were ever given to us.

Some Top of Utah teens talk about their holiday gift-giving traditions.

Do you remember the last time you heard a song by My Chemical Romance playing on the radio? Probably a few years right?

Yes, I know, waiting to hear their precious voices again has been pure torture. I have been in love with My Chemical Romance since the fifth grade.

Well, the wait is over -- My Chemical Romance's latest CD, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys," is now available.
