so I'm okay now but I just got out of the ER. I went to dinner with my grandma- my GRANDMA!! And had a (1) mai tai and ended up passing out at the table. I don't remember this so much. My aunt called 911 and some hot firemen showed up and then I got a bumpy ride to the hospital. My life. So hard.

Like I said I'm good now. We're still on for the cruise and I'm a fucking lightweight. It may have had to do with the meds I took earlier too. Now I have to go take off these EKG moniters. Ugh.

don't know when I'll be back again. Oh babe I hate to go. Not really, sorry guys.

I'm off for a week to the great wilds of Alaska and I'm SO fucking excited! I kinda despair of having to leave in the middle of bigbang season but I can only wait to see the ones posted while I'm gone.

Also barefoot_starz will be coming while I'm gone!! I'm almost more excited about that than I am for going! Yo, remember that drawer and if you find a wrapped CD and picture thing on the desk they're both yours. :D

Mate if you disappear again I'm going to tie you up and it won't be fun.

Love you all see you when I get back!! I'll have pictures!

My mom made this cake where she made a cake and put some tequila in it and then when it was cooling poured tequila on it and then put like half a bottle of teqiula in the glaze. There's like a half bottle of tequila in this biznatch.

OM.

Fresno.

Saturday. 1PM.

Meet In The Middle 4 Equality

I know everyone lives far far away, but it's happening. I'll be there with fucking bells on.

Bring it.

Saw Star Trek twice today. TWICE. In one day. The first time my friend and I took my brother to see it, but halfway through the picture got really blurry, so we went down to tell someone and I guess they thought we were gonna bitch about it? They gave us free passes, and we'd only missed 10 minutes or so before we went back in and got to see it again a couple hours later.

Blasphemy and spoilers under the cut.

( Three times in three days. What is this world where Star Trek is infinitely cooler than Star Wars? )

Thanks Deadliest Catch for making me CRY LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. And it's not even over yet.

Let me preface by saying that I live nowhere near Philadelphia and that I was not at the concert. What I know about the incident has come from blog posts and the videos that have been posted. Admittedly, the videos are not good quality, and it's very hard to see anything in detail of what was going on, but the audio says enough.

The only angry voices, the only voices using profanity were those of the band members. The police were keeping their cool as much as they could in that situation. It's what they're trained for, not to let their emotions get the better of them in stressful situations. The police were working to contain a volatile situation where they were outnumbered. None of those involved were making any attempt to cooperate and were being assholes. Not that you could see from the video, but I HIGHLY doubt that they were smashing Chris V's head into the floor like some people have been speculating.

If ~anyone~ had cooperated and kept a cool head as opposed to just telling the police people were filming, none of that needed to have happened. If they had just moved their van and gone home, and if whoever had just accepted the ticket like a good boy, then this wouldn't have happened.

Head wounds bleed like a bitch, it's a fact of life. And if he was still resisting, it would have taken them longer to get the cuffs on him, which they would have had to have done while he was face down on the floor, so all the blood from the wound would have gone on the floor as opposed to his shirt. If you look at the picture of Chris, there's very little blood on his face.

People are saying how they're disgusted at the level of force being used against kids and how it was despicable that they were acting like that around kids, but one of the posts said specifically that the police were there originally to tell those underage to go home because of the curfew, and also the one "kid" that I saw being "restrained" was just leaned over the van (the kid who looked like cash). Chris V and the band's tour manager are both decidedly not kids, and were the ones causing the most problems.

While I'm the first to admit that police aren't perfect, it really irks me when people always jump to the worst conclusions using sensationalist terms and trying to hype up the situation.

Step 1: Commence to paint entire room a blinding white so that when the inevitable meltdown over "WHAT was I THINKING that I could do this on my own/in two weekends" comes, room will be appropriately colored.

Steps onward coming soon!

AKA: I'm alive and graduating in THREE WEEKS. OH MY GOD WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD IDEA?!?!??!!!! They really need to rethink the 'sending sheltered academics out into the real world' thing, cause I'm not liking it AT. ALL.

This is awesome. I like new people, so hiiiiii!!!!!

Since This Providence can only stay on the tour until April 1st, I’ve asked Tom, Sean, and Max from Empires to join us. They will be jumping on in Texas or Tennessee on or around April 1st. Check out the link for the specifics over the next few days. I am very excited about having them out!



As posted on Thomas Conrad's website blog also on 03-03-09:
This may come as a shock (as it is for me too) but it has to do with just a piece, not the entire entity. You can't forgive until you're ready to forget. I'm not expecting anyone to understand.


I tend to see conflict where there is none. Partly because of my intense desire never to be involved in any. But also partly, boys.

THANK YOU FOR ORDERING, YOUR DETAILS ARE LISTED BELOW:

WATCHMEN

Oh good lord. JDM was magnificent and I wasn't expecting cock in my movie, but guess what I got?

Also, soundtrack. MUSIC. YAY.

This is worse than The Christmas Shoes




I hate everyone.

Ray is going to kill Bob. I think that's all there is to it.

http://www.mychemicalromance.com/blog/bob/ray-toro-when-he-was-young-lad

Regardless of any bandom connections, this video omg.

OMG VIDEO RELEASED TODAY.

Song: Still as awesome as ever.

Boys: OMG. I don't even know how to properly express the insane amount of sheer glee I'm feeling at this moment. I want to dance or something, but my roommate's asleep.

I just... This video is making my week people. My WEEK.

ETA: Because there is no way I'm not going to watch this an inordinate number of times tonight...

If the rest of the movie is this spot on and visual as the music video is? I'm not sure how the world will handle it.

The Hair Situation
Ray. Your hair reaches your shoulders and it's possibly the most ridiculous turn on you can ever imagine when combined with your fingers and your thighs and your guitar ...skills. Your guitar skills. Please don't ever cut it, okay?

Frank. You're rockin' the triangle thing Mikeyway had going on for a while, only this seems a little more purposeful rather than an anomaly in genetics.

Gerard. I'm not sure what to make of your hair hon. It's very... angular. But not like your brother's or Frank's. You're more rectangle angular along the sides. I like it, though, so don't ever change, kay?

Bob. You're looking very ...fuzzy. Lots of body. No gel. But it moves so ~nicely~ when you drum. I don't think I can ask you to never change. Girls would kill for that kind of volume and bounce, not guys so much.

Mikey. And the search for the ever-elusive Mikeyway continues... At times, your hair reminds me of those college-chic girls who have this like... quarter beehive thing going on with lots of hairspray and bobby pins right in the general area some could say a dorsal fin would go. But then you headbang or even just ~breathe~ and I am forcibly reminded that you have nothing in common with college chic girls. Thank god.

The Clothes Situation
Lots of black. And lots of red. And lots of leather. I see no downside here.

Miscellany
Ray. I want your guitar. That is all.

And also possibly, your thighs and hair and ....yeah, we've been over this.

Frank. Good little guitarists do not stick their tongues out at the police as they're sitting in the back of the paddy wagon and then giggle into Bob's shoulder, as I'm sure that's the end result of that shot.

Ray. Why are you attacking the police officers straight off? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's hot and I'm not complaining, but um... the guitar? Think of the ~guitar~!

Mikey. I actually caught myself saying "Oh ~Mikey~" out loud on the first viewing in response to his overwhelming looks. I thought I liked him better in his glasses-wearing-lesbian phase. I was clearly wrong. Oh, how was I so very wrong.

Bob. I think that hurt, when you and your kit got rolled over by the cops. I could be mistaken.

Gerard. Did you get beat up in the halls or something? That's a pretty nice shiner.

Ray. Every time I hear the refrain from the Star Spangled Banner, goosebumps run down my spine. Those ten notes are just so haunting and ...wow.

The End.
All of the boys handcuffed in the back of a paddywagon? I see nothing wrong in this equation.

lil_bluegreen_dude: oh dude, crazy thought. Brendon=Jack Harkness, Ryan=Ianto Jones, Jon=Toshiko Sato, Spencer=Owen Harper, William=PC Andy, Brent=Gwen Cooper. Oh god I 've got to go to sleep before I traumatize myself further
Katy Tearle: dude
