First I must start off with a confession; up until last night I had never seen My Chemical Romance live in concert. Shocker, I know. Even to myself because I've never gone this long without seeing a band that I'm really into. Unfortunately I suffer from having bad timing and an ill temper and it just didn't work out until this album and this mini- ( Read more... )

My friendslist is so SMART. Between you and Aja discussing the complexities of MCR's teenage fanbase and fandom and GLEE! I feel lucky reading intelligent reviews that aren't just "alsdnfasjk! GERARD!!" ...Though I wouldn't necessarily mind reading that either. Did he sound look good? :D

And alas, I have yet to see MCR in concert. It WILL happen one day. If their fans don't scare me off, that is. I'd hate to get crushed in the mass hysteria. But! I did get to see Ben Folds in a lovely, tiny little venue in South Jersey. It's still one of my favorite concert-going experiences ever.

I had to buy luggage for the second time ever) and in LONDON! I was there once for only a week and it totally wasn't enough time. I did see punks though.

Annie! Oh man, the British punk kids are amazing (and smelly) and I think Camden Town is my favorite place everever (it's like South Street in Philly -- only HUGE!) and they're just EVERYWHERE up there. Brilliant stuff. It's amazing seeing them in their natural habitat ( ... )

Smelly huh? Well I didn't get a chance to smell the ones I saw because I was just passing them on the street on my way to the tube, but I believe you. It's been pretty acceptable teen behavior to forego the shower for a while. They even mentioned it in "Clueless ( ... )

Ah! Well, I knew I heard it from a trusted source. This just proves that I soak up every word you say like a sponge. Sponge, Aja!
