merry christmas & happy new year!

I thought I'd throw a little something up here because I haven't past through here in over a month.

Never again will he twirl a drumstick like the badass he is. Never again will he be laying down some sick rhythms on one of A7X's songs. Never again will he act a fool and crack me up.

And while I didn't know him as a friend I did know as a fan through his music. It upsets me to know that I didn't even get to see him alive in concert doing what he loved and kicked ass at it.

He will be very missed...

If music was my boyfriend...

Let's take this back to elementary school & just pretend for a moment.
Let's pretend music is a person; a guy around my age to be exact.
Let's say he's my boyfriend for the purpose of this blog.

So if music was my boyfriend:
-He'd always seem to know the right thing to say.
-He'd be moody from time to time.
-He'd have all the answers I'd ever need.
-He'd be the only one I'd want to hear after crappy day.
-He would understand me more than I do.
-He'd probably be a little crazy but it would suite him.
-He would be loved by everyone.
-He would have a twin brother named Lyrics.
-We'd be together nearly 24/7.

Hmm, that was oddly poetic of me.

Things I've realized about myself.

-I hate apologizing; I rarely ever do it.
-I hate admitting that I'm wrong.
-I'm stubborn.
-I keep my emotions hidden well.
-There's a 99.9% chance that I won't have sex in high school BY CHOICE.
-I hate disrespectful, rude, ignorant people.
-I hate when things aren't fair.
-I think seniority & elitism is bullshit.
-I know A LOT more about certain people then they would realize or want me to know.
-I have a really good family.
-I have absolutely no idea I want to come of my impending future. I just want to be happy.
-Apparently I'm really funny.
-Also, apparently I make lots of entertaining facial expressions.
-I've learned to not make plans based on people for my future.
-I may seem to be overly realistic or pessimistic but deep down I'm quite the optimist.
-I like IMing/texting/messaging/etc. because I can organize my thoughts better.
-But with talking I don't seem to able to always get my point across.
-I love to read.
-I'm a dork & I'll never be cool but I'm okay with that.
-I'm vain about 2 things only: this blog & my taste in music.
-I LOVE music. <--- This sentence can never fully describe how I feel about music.
-Sometimes, I truly believe I'm going to be that old lady with 27 cats.
-I'll kill myself when I hit 66.
-I refuse to get old, rickety, incontinent. Fuck old age.
-I reeeaaalllly want to learn how to play bass.

Marching Band: Best Fucking Thing Since Sliced Bread

Today, from the second I stayed after school till the second I was called to attention before I could leave I was reminded why I love marching band.

Despite the shitty practices, the BandDrama, the people who don't give a flying fuck, and a new director in the end the football games, the bus rides, and the competitions are definitely worth it.

These are things I love the most:

• The horrible loud obnoxious off-key singing done late at night
  
• The crazy gossip.
  
• Gay and band go hand in hand. [especially once in uniform]
  
• Touch a nut, not your neighbors!
• 10 Fingers!
• Inside Jokes
  
• Being surrounded by so many different personalities
• The band dance
• Mingling with the other band
• How putting on a uniform is like sprinkling pheromones on everybody
• Gay or straight you will be felt up by the same sex
  

Band is like having a other younger, more psychotic family. There are times where you want to murder each and every single person and times where you wouldn't know what you'd do without them. For every time I've ever wanted to quit band there are 5 other times that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I did.

For you people who aren't in band, I feel sorry for you. You have no idea what you're missing out on. Maybe if you're in another club/sport/organization you might understand what I'm talking about but there's just some things that you're never experience unless you're a band geek.

BAND GEEKS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rediscovering bands is fun.

So I've pretty much been listening to My Chemical Romance nonstop. Want to know why?

Earlier this week I was watching Fuse I saw the video for Mama off of The Black Parade Is Dead! and it didn't occur to me till then how much I really loved MCR. I had kinda been on an unofficial hiatus for a while now.

Okay I know that sounds really cheesy but I forgot how much I love them. Not just their music but the individual themselves. I'm sure that there's people reading this are like "You don't know them let alone seen them in person and yet you're professing your love for them? Stalker!"

I've got to say though my number one favorite person of all time in any band is Gerard Way. I love him. Not love as in I want to have his babies or he's so hot or whatever. That's lust btw.

Love as is I think he's one of most amazing person ever. Well, it's probably more of a mix of adoration, bedazzlement, infatuation & love but whatever. He's pretty much says what he means and means what he says. He also nice & I don't think he's just putting up a front.

As for everyone else in MCR:

Ray: I think it's impossible to be cooler than a guitarist with a fro. His fro alone could take over the world. Laugh now but you'll see...oOOooo000OooooOOOo000

Frank:Ah, the 5 Foot Wonder! Lol. I've had & still have a long running crush on him. He's just so frickin cute & he giggles like a little girl. Okay fangirl moment over...

Bob:He's pretty awesome despite the camera smackage. Plus he's a damn good drummer. Is it just me or has he been looking like a lumberjack lately? Lmao.

Mikey:Is the reason I want to play bass. Oh and I liked him before I liked MCR.

To think that I once hated them & I thought Gerard looked like Michael Jackson. Lol.
