Oh, my goodness, I’m sorry! I did see that! But I was like more than half asleep when I was responding to your comment, so for some reason that registered in my mind as “I’ve seen them in concert,” which, obviously, I’d already interrogated you about. xD
That sounds unbelievable! I’m super super jealous! What kind of contest did you win, exactly? And were there other people there? Did you go by yourself? Was it like a five minute thing before the set, or...? I NEED DETAILS.
You know, I’m not all that surprised about the Matt thing, honestly. I feel like I have too high of expectations for how sweet he might be. Not that I’d expect him to be rude or anything, of course! Just, more reserved, I guess. Did he do anything not nice, or did he just give you that feeling? Like I said, I need details. xD But I hear you about the height thing. He’s, what, 6’1”? And Jimmy was only 6’3”... I’ve never much understood the hype about how tall they are; they seem rather average height, or even short, depending on which one you’re talking about. And I actually totally believe that about Zacky! He seems super shy, which is something I find super endearing! Sorry to hear Johnny stole your Zacky moment though! D:

...Ava will answer that question.
Oh, I still hear you on that. I’m uncomfortable with that scene too, even though I keep telling myself it’s not uncomfortable for the characters. At least Brian was clothed, so it’s not quite as awkward. He was rather quick to cover her with a sheet in the other room, after all. Matt wasn’t as close to Zacky; he was holding him back, but it’s not like their bodies were touching or anything. ...That just gave me an even more uncomfortable visual. I’m done with talking about that scene.
Ah, that’s fair! Yeah, I can see how that line of his might be read a bit angrily. He actually didn’t mean it offensively... that’s just the word he’d use... I don’t know, almost teasingly? Affectionately?
...Yes. I think? Mabel was surprised to see that Ava didn’t already know, and that led her to believe their relationship had been overstated to her, yes. And if their relationship was overstated, that meant she couldn’t be sure how much of a Rinaldi Ava actually was. Yes.
Yes, Zacky corrected the misunderstanding, but he didn’t do it until he already had Ava practically in the car and was rushing out of the city. He didn’t give Mabel a chance to reverse the spell (for the purpose of this story, a spell is more than just a few quick words; there’s effort and herbs and whatnot that need to go into it). Mabel wanted to reverse the spell, but Zacky wouldn’t be talked into giving her the time to do it. You’ll recall from Chapter 13: ”She’d asked him why he hadn’t told her that the girl hadn’t ever been human, and he’d told her the truth, that he figured the only thing that’d do was turn her against Ava, since she hated werewolves so much. She’d tried to talk him into staying the night, then, to sticking around while she could try and think of a way to help them with the Drake thing, but he’d immediately declined.”.
Eh, my life? Well, I didn’t get to meet the guys, so not nearly as awesomely as yours, I suppose? Nah, it’s been fine. I’m going to graduate this year (a year early), so that’s mildly exciting, and I had a pretty sweet deal this summer working as a nanny and getting to bring my dog with me every day. I ended up having a little bit of a mental breakdown, though... which is sort of why I disappeared from Mibba so suddenly... but that’s been getting better. You know, the usual. xD
It was Vengeance University’s 4th of July contest. He put out some new clothes and I bought them. I hadn’t planned on winning tickets to mayhem as I’d already bought tickets to see them. On Saturday July 5th I woke up to an email informing me that I had won two tickets to mayhem and would get to meet Zacky Vengeance! (and a $50 gift card) I got to take my sister with me as I had a plus one. It was cool because I was on Avenged’s guest list! And I got 15 minutes with them after the concert was over and there was one other group there. It was just a little disappointing that it was two groups, but the other group started talking about what big fans they were and what an honor it was to meet them. As soon as they started that the guys came back over to my sister and I who were too stunned to really talk. Brian was awesome! He hung out over by my sister and I pretty much the whole time. Well him, Johnny and Arin. :)
As for Matt…he wasn’t mean or anything just… reserved would be a good word for it. I had two shirts that I was getting signed for a friend and my sister (for the one that didn’t get to meet the guys) and I tried to get Matt to sign both of them and he didn’t seem too happy about it. Johnny, Brian, and Arin not an issue, and Zacky was so standoffish that he only signed one of the shirts. As of Matt being tall… I’ve seen them twice in concert and he seems larger than life on stage. He literally commands attention but then he comes over to stand next to us and it was kind of disappointing. Oh here is a detail for you…Johnny’s hands are really soft.
I had a few stupid moments with them. I blurted out to Matt that he wasn’t as tall as he thought I’d been *facepalm,* Brian asked me how I won the contest and I replied oh so elegantly, “I bought a bunch of his crap off of his website,” as I pointed at Zacky! KILL ME NOW!!! Arin said something along the lines of still waiting for a fan to say the last show they were was better than the current one they had just seen, and again I opened my fat mouth and replied that the last show was better as I was in the pit and this one I was stuck in the nosebleeds! *facepalm again* And lastly Arin drew something on my sister’s item she wanted signed and I asked him if it was a pig. He looked at me like I was crazy! Turns out it was supposed to be Mickey Mouse.
Now on to Zacky! He is beautiful!!!! I’m not even lying. I don’t think I have EVER seen anything so beautiful in my life. I swear he should have wings and a freaking halo. I don’t call guys pretty but I’m serious the man is fucking perfection at its finest.
I’ll post a pic for you so you can. :)

Please tell me Ava will be answering that question soon… :D
Okay I can see that term being affectionate but at that particular moment it doesn’t come off that way.
Ah well that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that out for me.
Sorry to hear about the break down. I’ve been there before. That is cool about the job and getting to have your dog with you. AND Congrats on graduating early!!!
