When Both Our Cars Collide
I'll never forget the moment I first laid eyes upon Gerard Way. It was 2006. I was a teenage girl who had just decided she wanted to get into rock music. I started with the classics and was working my way up to the present day. While Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and a slew of other dad-rock bands were cool and all, I had a real hunger for something to move my modern soul. I didn't have a clear sense of what that would feel like yet. I just heard the call. It brought me to MTV.com.

One Eternal Moment
Saturday morning. Sometime in the late 90s. Couldn't tell you what time it was—I hadn't yet learned how to read time. I only knew of now, the past, and the future. I was probably 6 years old. It was morning, the sun was glowing all over my room as it always did when every magic weekend arrived. I climbed out of the top bunk of my bed and in my Little Mermaid nightgown, tip-toed into the living room. No one was ever awake at this time. It was sacred. Just me and the TV. I reached for several VHS tapes and created a sacrosanct line-up of things only my eyes would see in these wee sunlit hours before the alarms would begin to ring. I only wanted moments. Simple scenes and blips from some visual masterpieces. Annie: Just had to grab the scene where they go to the movies and watch Camille dying in her lover's arms. The Swan Princess: Must watch the scene where the heroine also dies, except this time she's saved by the prince and is brought back to life. Anastasia: Absolutely necessary to watch her save her potentially dead lover and then bring him back to life by kicking Russian butt. And lastly, the most hallowed of all footage...my parent's wedding video: No ifs, ands, or buts, their wedding intro always had to be included.
