| So, it's been more than 2 months since the My Chemical Romance show in Portugal, but i wanted to make a blog about it anyway, i've been just too lazy...on with it!
It was a sunday, June 24th 2007, and i had only slept 2 hours. I was so excited i couldn't sleep! But thanks to my friend Gonçalo, who sent me a text message, and we started messaging each other, I finally felt asleep.
In two hours I was "awake & unafraid" to spend the whole day waiting for them, and so I got up, got dressed and all that shit, and at 6 a.m. me and my good friend Susie were making our way to the Lisbon Coliseum. As we were on the train (me being totally paranoid that there would be people there and we won't get to the first row, how right was i huh? ), we even watched the sunrise! Ain't that beautiful? lol
As we arrived there, guess what...there was people there! But not too many, so we were happy! We sit by one of the doors and waited for like 2 hours, until I noticed a friend of mine, that I haven't seen in years, was there right next to me!! I went and talk to her and we hugged and she introduced me to her friends and I introduced them Susie and then it was more than just Sleepy-Rita & Sleepy-Susie! Marlon really helped! You're funny man! 
We played cards, we ate, me and Diana talked about old times and that stuff, and it was almost 1 p.m. , and people were starting to get a little excited, and all of a sudden everyone started to go to the left door, and we were like "WTF what's happening?? Did they open the door??"... and after all it was just some guy leaving/entering (?) the building. Damn teenies scream for everything!! After a few minutes, and another false alarm, the stupid security guys open ONE FUCKING DOOR, the left one, there were 2 more for fuck's sake! And guess what, i was on the right one, not the left! I swear I could kill someone by that time!! So people that were there since the day before, or people that were there since the early hours of the day, got to the middle of the crowd, and people who had just fucking arrived got to the fucking front row!! (i swear a lot, sorry, but that's me!)
Anyway, there we were, with some more long hours to wait for... More and more people showed up, it got really crowded! All of this would be fine if some the fucking teenies wouldn't have started screaming their lungs out for NO REASON! They just didn't stop for hours! Then out of nowhere people started to push everyone like crazy and i barely could breathe or move! I was just holding my ticket like my life cause I was afraid to lose it in the chaos! Then the stupid security guy put some order and me, my friends and some other people step out of crowd in need of some fresh air, and a few minutes later the security guys said we had to make a line on each side of the door so we did, after cursing them like hell! Grr! They were very rude! The bastards!
Finally, at 7:45 p.m. they opened the inside doors and everybody was getting inside as fast as they could, including us of course, and we were on the floor, but they my friends decided to go to the seats on the right side of the stage, right next to the stage, but I thought I would be able to have a better view where I was. I stayed and when they got there I texted Susie and asked if they had a good view of the stage and they said yes, and as I was melting with the heat of too many people pushing me and realized there was a tall guy right in front of me, I got out of there, having to say "Excuse me, I wanna get out, I don't wanna go to the front, excuse me..." to every person I passed by. (what a shitty country we have... people don't even know how to be civilized! Geez!) I got there and it had a waaay better view after all!  I was so close to the stage!! So I was happy, but with 2 more hours to wait. At 9 p.m. came to the stage the opening band, called Cinemuerte, at the lead singer...geez...i don't know how to describe it... let's just say she was more into her hair and hips-shaking than into singing!
After this, the My Chem tech guys went on stage and I got really excited!! I was mental only by seeing Frank's guitar, for fuck's sake! XD At 10 p.m., finally, the lights went out, and I could see Frankie warming up in the back of the stage! (me: OMG!!!!! IT'S FRANKIE!!!)
And then... I went nuts, everyone went nuts, they were on stage, starting This Is How I Disappear! I couldn't believe... from that minute to the end of the show it felt like a wonderfull dream...I remember every song, every move they did, every look they sent to where I was, every word Gerard said (well, the ones I could understand, cause the sound was kinda shitty). It was the best day of my life, they've become the most important band to me, they tought me a lot of things and I look up to them a lot, they're an amazing inspiration! But, on with the show!
Every song was so perfect, I screamed my lungs out, I was singing every single word (poor guy who was next to me... if by any chance you read this, im sorry for almost making you deaf!), I couln't take the huge smile of my face!
Unfortunately, there was no Frerard moment *makes a sad sad face*, but there was the usual craziness of Mr. Frank Iero (seriously, that man is unbelievable!!), the sexiness of Mr. Gerard Way and his dance moves *sighs*, the amazing fro of Mr. Ray Toro and his powerfull performance, the power and style of Mr.Bob Bryar, and the cuteness and good performance of Mr. Matt Cortez. Gerard and Ray looked at where I was so many times!!! Ray was smiling almost all the time! Knowing they were enjoying the show make me feel in heaven!! Frankie only looked at "us" one time but it was awesome anyways
Gerard said they can't wait to come back!!!! (me: smiles really big and squeals like a little girl) Well, I sure can't wait for them to come back!!!
It was powerfull, funny, loud, short (it's never enough...), sexy, emotional, amazing!
After the show we went outside to wait for them, we waited for almost an hour, but only Matt came out, and we really had to go home, really sad that they were going to be there and we would lost that chance, but later I found out they didn't come out to meet the fans, they must've been feeling really tired (and scared of that the teenies) *cough cough*
Ok, I'm kidding, I don't know their reasons, but I couldn't help but be happy that I didn't miss anything 
That night I dreamed about the show, I dreamed about Gerard's chicken moves during Teenagers, and aparently I laughed out loud, cause my friend Susie asked me, in the morning, if I was dreaming about the show, cause I was laughing! 
The day after the show we couldn't shut up, just talking about the show and how unbelievable and amazing it was!
And that was it, more than 2 months after I feel is was just 2 days ago!
Good job if you read all this! Comments are very welcome
