From Lynn

Woookay. So let me enlighten you on one of the most confuzzling moments of my life. First of all you all must know that I'd brought a big glossy poster for them to sign - keyword glossy, as this particular type of material is almost impossible to write on with markers. Yeah. I didn't know that. As everyone's doing this in dialogue form I suppose I'm going to have to too *grumble**grumble*

Brad (after giving Clare a hard time about her imitation LPST shirt): Hi!
Me: Hi!
Brad: How are you?
Me: I'm great, thanks. I like your hair. (actually I don't)
Brad: My hair likes you, too.

*I give him the poster. Brad signs the poster. The ink immediately disappears, much in the fashion of paint when you try to paint over candle wax. Brad and I stare at this strange receptacle for a few seconds.*

Brad: Uhh.
*Brad signs again. Ink disappears again.*
Me: ..Is that a permanent marker?
Brad: ..Is that a bad thing?
Me: ..I'm not sure exactly.

*We stare at the poster. Mike, who is next to Brad, also stares at me then Brad then the poster then me then Brad then the poster then you get the picture.*

Me (mumbling because I am mind-numbingly HORRIFIED): Um, my mom gave me a permanent marker just in case, I think yours may be water-based (right about now I notice all the guys have cool LP markers), wait it's in here, uhh..yeah, try that.
Brad (also very confused): Okay..
*I hand him the marker. He signs with it and lo and behold, it doesn't vanish entirely! It vanishes just a little bit. =D*

Mike: It's still wet, look..
Brad: It's still wet. I'll just sign at the back here just in case...here you go.

*bla bla, taking of picture, neeeext* *Mike, looking very doubtful of my marker's capabilities, signs his name on his white sweatshirt in the picture and proceeds to rub it with his finger. The white is now very much black.*

Me: ...dude, you just soiled your sweatshirt! (MY BEAUTIFUL AUTOGRAPHSSSSS =s)
Mike: Hmmm.

*He continues rubbing and rubbing the mark until it goes away, then signs again, then stares at it for a very long time. Phi is entranced by my magic disappearing poster thing.*

Phoenix: What picture is that?
*Phi is ignored.*
Mike: It's still wet. You'd better not touch it or it'll smudge.
Me: Yeah, I won't.
Phoenix: Where was that picture taken?
*Phi is still ignored.*
Mike: Wait, just in case it comes off I'll just sign at the back here, okay? Now remember, DON'T TOUCH IT.
Phoenix (confused): Wait, where was that picture taken?
*More of the ignoring, mostly because I am suffering from the symptoms of close contact with Mike Shinoda.*
Mike: You reeeaalllllyyy don't want to touch that.
*took a picture, I'm already moving on to Phoenix and have no idea what Mike says next*

Phoenix: Where was that
Me: Sorry, what?
Mike: ...look. It's wet. See? *points* It's wet. You touch it and it'll smudge and come right off. Make sure you don't touch it, okay?
Me: Yeah, sure.
Phoenix (FINALLY! he must be thinking): What picture is this? Where was it taken?
Me: Um. I dunno, some award ceremony or something I think. (it was the matrix reloaded premiere)
*phi is satisfied, i get my picture and my semi-vanished autograph*

*I see Joe and remember all the Joe m&g horror stories and pray that nothing will go wrong. First thing he does is use his pen to sign my poster. It disappears. He stares at it, very confused. I feel like dying.*

Me: Uh, you have to use this, it's...it's...o.O"
*signage. pictures. yay.*

*rob occurs.*

Me (babbling): Hey, I love your hair! Is it new? (um no, chaz has had it since like download you idiot.)
Chester: Uh, yeah, I got it done yesterday. (something tells me he was trying to make me happy. oh the shame)

*Chester signs. It disappears. Chester is much with the confused staring.*

Me: ...yeeeah, you're gonna have to use this...
*Chester signs with my pen and gives it back to me.*
Me: Could you pose with your uh. Mohawk...type...thing?

*Does this adorable waggly eyebrow thing while I take a picture then looks back down at the poster. Stares as the ink has still sort of disappeared. Very confused.*

Me: Some of the guys signed at the back just in case, you could do that if you want...
*He uses his own pen for the back.*

BLAHA. And just so you know, I remembered to say thank you very very happily indeed after every single one of them. Of course, not a single one of my pictures came out. *kills random animals* Oh the obscenities. On the bright side, I hung out with Mark Fiore and somebody's gonna be on Newscaster :-D wooo.
