There's a cute little emo checkout boy at my local supermarket, black fingernails,black/pink/blue hair, My Chemical Romance wristbands. When I mentioned liking My Chem his whole face lit up and we had a lovely animated chat about who are favourites are, er, and their music. He expressed great admiration of Bob Bryar and said he wished he could find a poster just of him and I said I'd keep an eye out and I came home and thought how hard could it be?

Really hard, apparently. Band people? Any ideas?

I have just queued to pick up our MCR tickets. There were only two people in front of me but they took FOREVER to choose their show or seating or whatever.


( Deathly Hallows )

I have had numerous conversations with people over the years along the lines of:

Friend - You should try this new computer game!
Me - No thanks, I don't play computer games.
Friend - You'll like this one, it's AWESOME.
Me *tactfully* I'm sure I would. Only, I have obsessive tendencies, and I don't have enough time for all the things I'm already addicted to.
Friend - Why don't you just try it once?
Me - GOD, what part of no don't you understand?
Friend *is crushed*


So on Friday lunchtime I drag cricketk off to JB's to pick up my reserved copy of 'Life on the Murder Scene' As I wait in line I see Cricket has wandered over to where some boys are playing a computer game and is staring transfixed. Uh oh, I think. I wait in line some more. Finally I buy the dvd and wander over to Cricket, steadfastly ignoring the Smallville on sale for $30 (I'm regretting that now) I wait. I stare. I start taking photos on my phone.
Eventually:

Cricket - What?
Me - I can leave you here if you like. Only what do I tell people if they ask me why you didn't go back to work?
Cricket *pouts* *reluctantly unslings the guitar*
Me - What was that anyway?
Cricket - Guitar Hero OMG!!!
Me - Oh yes you've mentioned that a few times. I've never seen it.
Cricket - You should come over and play it!
Me - We've had this conversation.
Cricket - You are making me come over tomorrow and watch your My Chemical Romance emo boys, so you have to come over and play Guitar Hero on Sunday.i>
Me - Um.


GUITAR HERO 2 ROCKS!!

See, the thing about Guitar Hero is it's not about the computer game, it's about ROCKING OUT WITH A GUITAR.

Oh, come on. EVERYBODY secretly wants to do this.

And then after awhile juffles and ascetic_hedony appeared and there was chips and BEER and they sat behind us and googled lyrics and sang very loudly and offkey to distract us, and then we swapped and did the same to them, only my knowledge of heavy metal music is sadly lacking so I didn't even know the tunes at all, though I'd had enough beer by then to give it a go anyway *winces at the memory* and now I've suddenly got Black Sabbath, Janes Addiction and Lamb of God downloaded on my iPod.

No really. WTF? If you scroll down you can listen to a sample. I suggest 'Laid to Rest' - that's the one Cricket and I were playing.

AND IT WAS FUN.

If you go to the My Chemical Romance website it plays their music at you! Who knew. It even starts with my favourite, what can I say, I like boppy songs about violence and disaffectedness.

I saw in this interview with Gerard that they will be playing in Brisbane on November 28, so I went to their homepage and clicked on their info email link and asked if they were playing any other cities cos I'll happily hop over to Melbourne or Sydney, but does it HAVE to be Brisbane goddammit?

Only the email bounced.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.


Also, I may possibly have joined their email list. *headdesk*

Y'all be relieved to know that I won't starve to death as I have discovered Cheds and chilli olives!!! Yes okay, there was in fact heaps of healthy food options which i was ignoring. SO?

Let's see, it's Friday night, so everyone else has a social life. Even Dragonfly has a study date *sigh* I'm home. Alone. with nothing to do. except talk about Bandslash. Yes, clearly the time has come.

I used to have boundaries.  When the Harry Potter fandom came along, suddenly I was reading underage fic, but I still had BOUNDARIES.  Then SGA came along and then it was Crackfic! and then Supernatural! and the Wincest! but you know at least I didn't read (hardly any) RPS or popslash! !

I blame my flist.  While some were taking a walk on the wild side and writing Rodny/Teyla, which you know, is freakin' HOT when done right. others suddenly started BRAINWASHING us (I can't be the only one) with the My Chemical Romance picspam and media sharing.  DAMN THEM ALL.. 

So suddenly I'm an MCR fan. Of the MUSIC.  And the pretty emo boys in makeup.  Then suddenly there are links to fics.  And somewhere Along the line the fics have other pretty emo boys in them, that turn out to be from some band called Fall Out Boy, whose music I wouldn't know if I fell over it, but now I know Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz, hell I've seen Pete Wentz's cock (apparently it's hard to avoid: oh those exhibitionists)  (also; nice)  and then if that wasn't enough someone wrote an SGA CROSSOVER with the boys from FOB and MCR and starring the Panic! At the Disco crew.   Who?  Oh, don't worry, I have links.    No, I don't know their music either.  I'm over that now.

My Chemical Romance (with emphasis on Frank Iero because he's just too pretty)  also warning - this is the picspam of DOOM.

Damn, I forgot i had feta.  Too late now.

special_trille rang to invite me out for a night of wild carousing (and karaoke).

Me - NO! OMG! This is the last time I will ever say this, but I have to work tomorrow morning and I have a cold and I am so fucking tired, and I am watching My Chemical Romance vids on YouTube.

Trille *laughs and laughs* Have fun moping.

So, EMO.


No, really, I just watched a fanvid titled 'll Reasons Why You Should Love Gerard Way. JUST THINK ABOUT THAT.
