1. He stole Grace from Joan. 2. He probably likes Star Trek more than Star Wars (so do I, but that's exceedingly beyond the point). 3. He doesn't understand that he's ADOPTED.

I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE TWINS GO TO HIGHSCHOOL SRSLY
Alex is going to tear Dean's fucking heart out every time she comes home with an A+++++ and talks about how much she wants to go to an Ivy League institution, and meanwhile Lorelai's dying her hair three shades of purple and trying to convince Dean and Sam to paint the Impala to match her hair.
And Ellen/Missouri/Jo/Bobby/resurrected!Ash come to babysit when Dean and Sam are away for more than a couple of days. Because Dad and Daddy KNOW what two teenagers get up to when their dads aren't home (lots of gay sex drinking lots of pop and ordering pizza all the time. Yes).
Lorelai gets cast in the school musical when she's sixteen and makes everybody help her memorise her part, because she's going to be an actress/long-haul trucker/oceanographer. And Dad sews her costume, because, "Do you want me to look ugly? You sewed on Alex's badges when we were in Girl Scouts in Peoria for two months! DON'T YOU LOVE ME?"
I can understand, the weather soured it for a lot of people, however, it was broadcasted live on the virgin site/much music site so you could sit comfortably in your home and watch. Tomorrow will be pretty.
That was my back up plan, yeah, but I thought it was going to be on regular TV (it was on one of the digital MM channels, which I don't have, of course), silly me. And, to top it all off, I don't have an internet connection at home. I haven't checked to see if it's archived online anywhere, but I will. I would like to see what I missed someday.
It was just a total wash for me. I've re-confirmed my long-standing commitment to not pre-purchase tickets for outdoor events, though. The line-up was just too tempting this time, gah.
You didn't miss much if you're not into Billy Talent, I checked out the other artists myspace page and it was nothing to write home about. Today is the big day with AFI.
I froze my ass off for the first three hours. Then halfway through the Rise Against set I went down to the merch tent, largely for the body heat of the mob-pretending-to-be-a-line (seriously, who thought one merch tent for all the mainstage bands was a good idea?), bought a MCR hoodie, put it on over the hoodie I was already wearing and put my rain jacket on over that. After that I pretty much forgot it was raining for Billy Talent and MCR. Until the end when I realized I couldn't feel my hands, at least.
God, I <3 Gerard Way, way too much. Preachy speaches and all.
Also, I think I seriously creeped out someone who I thought was you from a distance at one point.
Oh god, a mess in the merch tent would have driven me MAD. It was a good time, though, yes? Generally?
Can I assume from the fact that you're typing that your hands didn't have to be cut off entirely?
God, I <3 Gerard Way, way too much. Preachy speaches and all.
GAH. And I think he's unbleached his hair? I may have gone, just for that, if I had known. Also, I have a soft spot for preachy speeches during concerts. See: me and Pete Wentz.

HAHAHA! I do that all the time! Welcome to the club! \o/
My hands are still attached, but the first few minutes of trying to drive home were interesting.
The hair is unbleached and growing out.

Dude, he made the audience promise to each do one good thing this week (volunteer at soup kitchen and visit a seniors' home were his examples), and then said, "Now that I've said that, let's party!". And he gave a speech about depression and not belonging, but that violence is never the answer before Teenagers. So precious.
A woman has started a sex-positive centre here in Vancouver. It is a business. It is for-profit. She is running it not for the community but for herself, and make no beans about the fact that she is running it, regardless of actual community shit. She is telling people it's a community centre. I have sharp pains of rage in my EYES when I hear her say this, and felt the need to share. Aren't you lucky.
Amen sistah! I hear you on this one. I'm thrilled to hear someone else finally speaking up about it, or rather, writing about it. I hear the complaints and the objections, but I doubt she does. It's quite sickening to be running something in the name of community when you are doing it for-profit. I'm sure she'll still fool enough. *shakes head* Good for you for speaking up!
I've been doing my bitching privately 'cause it just seemed wanky (also why I didn't post a link to any of her stuff--yet, anyway). But at the party on Saturday she was handing out flyers (which is fine, she has a right to promote her BUSINESS) and outright lying to people (new people! The kind who don't know better!) about what kind of venture it is. Made me SO MAD, I almost said something (I don't really do public conflict or talking to people I barely know, so yeah. I was/am very, very mad).
The worst part is that Vancouver really does need this kind of space, and it sounds like the place has the potential to be exceedingly awesome--just, you know, done in the wrong way, by the wrong person, for the wrong reasons. IMHO.
Ow, I'm getting the rage pains again. I'm going to stop now.
I agree that this space is needed. And as no one else has done it (though there have been several in the past: they came, they tried, they failed), she is the only one who has combined a for-profit business in the guise of a charity. It may work.
The place sounds really cool, and Vancouverites seem to really want it. It is sad it's going to be for her. We all know about HER. But there wasn't anyone else willing to do it. (Certainly not me...I have a career I'm very happy in) Was hoping that someone else that was more "normal" would step up, but that isn't the case at this time.
I don't think it's where she originally said it was located. Someone told me it's out in Surrey, not in Burnaby. I hope people know the location before they buy memberships.

Kevin Girardi, while you're at it.
Fuck, why not make it an incestuous orgy? Joan Girardi gets involved.
Dad and Daddy, from each girl's pov when they are 14.
