My favorite is always going to be when I actually got to meet them and give them hugs. I just remember turning a corner, seeing Jack and screaming "OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!" and I wish that I could say that I was a dumb teenager when that happened, but I was fully a junior in college. Jack smiled and said thank you and when I hugged him, he told me I smell nice and I just about passed out. I don't really remember what happened after that other than Alex scooting over so I could get between him and Rian to take a photo, but I squished myself between Rian and Jack lmfaoooo. Sorry, Alex, baby lysm.

I also had a really fun time at my first q&a because I told them that I'd lied about being sick so that I could skip my school's graduation (listen, they weren't my students, it was fine). And they ate that shit up for some reason and made lots of jokes about it. It was THE most fun. That's not Jack specific, but he was there and so lovely, so I'm including it. I have a video of part of it that my friend took. I'm very embarrassed about my accent and my body overall, but if y'all wanna see it, I suppose I could upload it (I think I can do that?). Rian also kept threatening to take a video of me at the show and post it so my district would see lmfao that sociopath. At that show, Jack walked by me between soundcheck and the show and I said hi to him and he smiled and waved, which he did not have to do. His smile MELTS me, man.

At my next q&a/soundcheck, I asked them what their favorite Grayscale song was and Rian thought I asked what their favorite groceries were. I think they misunderstood me at some point the time before too because of my little drawl, but I don't remember what it was. Alex corrected him and Jack just kept on listing different foods he likes to buy lmfaooooo. At that same one, he said fuck and then saw that there were little girls and he was like "oops I'm sorry I didn't know there were younglings here" and idk I thought that was really cute.

Finally, when we went to take the group photo at that q&a, I turned to Jack (AND HE SMILED SO BIG I SWEAR HIS EYES WERE SHINING) and was like, "hey, I don't know if y'all remember me, but I was the teacher who skipped graduation to see y'all in Nashville." He laughed and the other guys I guess were eavesdropping, so they went into making fun of me again, especially Zack, which I enjoyed immensely. Zack is actually really funny when he gets to speak lol.
