For the record, if I was to drink anyone's magical impregnating urine, it would have to be Gerard's*. Aw, hell, I'd drink his non-impregnating urine, too. I'm pretty drunk right now, but my answer would be the same if I was stone cold sober.

* and also probably, Frank's.

You know what sucks? Most of the people on my friendslist are working on their bandombigbang fics, and therefore, there's a major fic drought. And I just know that once all the fics are posted, I won't have time to read them. At least, not all at once. I'll make time for them. But it sucks because nobody is even posting snippets. Come on, people, tease me! I need something to tide me over before the deluge.

Is anybody else really into the new Madonna/Justin video "Four Minutes"? Ugh, every time I see it, I wanna dance all sexy-like.

Brittney and I are going to see Iron Man later tonight. Or, I'm going to see Iron Man, she's probably going to see that Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie. She always makes fun of me for liking comic book stuff, as if her taste in movies is so fucking sophisticated. I'm going to punch her in the head later. Just FYI.

Current Music: Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland - "Four Minutes"

I haven't seen anybody post about it yet, so I have to ask... what happened to stereomer?

Current Mood: worried

OMG, I'm back from Birmingham. I spent the whole show hanging out with burgaw, who was awesome. Her review is also pretty awesome, and I'm too lazy to repeat all of it here. Just a few things to add:

We spent hours in line, and a lot of time was devoted to snarking on people's outfits. Okay, we weren't really being mean, just pointing out all of the ridiculousness. There were Helena Gerards, Black Parade Gerards, bands of make-up around the eyes, X's on the eyes, Mikeyway glasses. There was a girl wearing a gas mask. Needless to say, all of the eras of MCR fashion were well-represented.

Drive-By and Billy Talent were awesome. I spent most of their sets getting wasted. The singer from Billy Talent was really cool. My favorite part was when he said that the stereotype about Southern girls being really hot was true, but the guys are all 6 foot 10 and will kick the shit out of you, so all they get to do is look. Hee!

This was my first time seeing Mikeyway on tour, and he was so awesome. He was rocking out like I've never seen him rock out before, but Frank was more sedate than usual. It's like they've traded personalities on this tour.

Suprisingly, I still remember most of MCR's setlist. I can't recall the exact order, but I know they did all of the following songs:

This Is How I Disappear
Dead!
Cemetary Drive
Give 'Em Hell, Kid
Welcome to the Black Parade
My Way Home Is Through You
I Don't Love You
Prison
I'm Not Okay
House of Wolves
Heaven Help Us
Headfirst for Halos
Mama
Kill All Your Friends
Teenagers
Cancer
Desert Song
Famous Last Words
Helena

I had my heart set on meeting the band, but we didn't really get the chance. We did get to see Bob for like, five seconds, and I caught a glimpse of Gerard through the bus windows. And we may or may not have followed the bus for a little while, on the off chance that they might make a quick pit stop. No such luck. Andrea and Brittney got food, and I went back to the hotel since I needed a bath like I have never needed a bath before. Then I went to bed since I had a massive headache. A good time was had by all.

LYN-Z!!!!!!

Okay, I kinda love her. I mean, I liked her before because she's pretty and bendy and she makes Gerard happy. But now that I've had a taste of what she's actually like? I really, really love her. I mean, can you imagine the conversations that she and Gerard must have? Formerly chubby, painfully earnest, heart-meltingly sweet, awkward, feminist art geeks, the both of them. I don't even wanna see them have sex (okay, I actually do), I just wanna be a fly on the wall while they talk. Conversation porn! Get on that, bandom. (And actual porn, too, would be nice.)

I was just reading some pairing meta, and it made me think. Okay, you know how Frank/Gerard is my OTP in bandom? Well, I actually do have reasons for liking them that are slightly more complex than "they're so pretty!" and "they're so sweet!" Although, that is a pretty big part of it, I'm not gonna lie. And the fact that those are my major reasons for liking them is actually a pretty big step for me. At least, I think it's a big step in my fannish experience, and I'll try to explain why.

( Yeesh, I just realized how long this was after I posted it, so - under the cut you go )

Okay, bandomsecrets, now it's ON.

Not all of us think they're really fucking. They're obviously not (a fact which pains me). You're just jealous that they're always humping each other on stage and get tons of fic written about them, instead of your pairing of choice. :p

Why are all of the Panic secrets always about the guys' looks? Why are all the Long Island fans elitist twats?

Sometimes, I love bandomsecrets like burning. Especially when they bring up stuff like this:


THE ORIGINAL CAPSLOCK FANDOM, OMG.

Ugh, so many memories! THE ONE WHERE JOEY AND CHRIS MADE A BET OVER WHO COULD SEDUCE THE OTHER FIRST, AND IT ENDED IN A DRAW! (SO HOT. There needs to be like, a thousand equivalent fics in bandom).

THE ONE WHERE LANCE WAS A HOOKER! NO, I MEAN THE FIRST ONE WHERE LANCE WAS A HOOKER!

PUPPIES IN A BOX! SUPERMAN CAN'T FLY! CLANDESTINE DESIRES (my first fic ever!) LOIS LANE!

HOT ANGSTY LOVE TRIANGLES! FUTURISTIC AUs OF DOOM! PIRATE FIC!

DID I MENTION PUPPIES IN A BOX (HELEN, SYNCHRONIK, SINEAD. HEAVEN.)

THE ONE WHERE JUSTIN AND JC KILLED BRITNEY! (I should be ashamed of myself. I really, really should.)

In conclusion: PUPPIES. IN. A. BOX! (Links later, when I relocate all the stuff that's still around)


Oh, and just in case anybody hasn't seen the INCESTUOUS ALIEN TENTACLE RAPE fic, it's been reposted here. *shakes head* Back in my day, we had good wholesome GSF...

I think it's great that people in fandom are trying to spread messages about positive body image and such, but the truth is, I don't feel that way about myself. I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything unless I'm running around half-starving. If I don't lose at least half a pound a day, I feel hopeless. I feel guilty if I'm too full, and I feel even more guilty when I purge. And the worst part is, there's a (big) part of me that doesn't want anybody to make me feel good about myself the way I am. Like, if I start to accept myself, then I'll never look the way I really want to. And damn it, it feels good when people comment on my losing weight. I don't believe them when they say I'm fine the size that I am now.

I don't want other people to feel this way. I don't want people to make them feel like they're less worthy because they're not the 'right' size. I don't want anybody else to feel the way I always have. So, yeah, I'll talk shit about anybody who tears someone down because of their size, but I tear myself down about my size all the time, so? Basically, I'm a hypocrite. And I don't care. I always at least try to take my hatred and bad feelings out on myself before I inflict it on other people. But does that make me a better person? No, it makes me just as fucked up, but in a different way.

Current Music: Shiny Toy Guns - "Rainy Monday"

That's like, my favorite line from all the Jay and Silent Bob movies. Unfortunately, it's almost never appropriate to say in any situation ever. Until now.

First, there was the 'feminist' calling Joss Whedon a rapist, a post which threatened to make my brain implode from the bewildering stupidity. Psy-cho.

Then there was the idiot trashing Frank's wife in bandomsecrets. I don't normally take this community seriously at all, but... Has this chick starved herself so much that her brain has ceased its higher functions? Oy. Fat is a contagious disease? What the ever-loving fuck is wrong with people?

Ugh, why so full of massive fail today, internet?

P.S. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches.

This is a little scary. I'm pretty bummed about what's happening to LiveJournal. I remember last summer everybody was freaking out about the censorship stuff. Since the idea of finding anyone in the Harry Potter universe sexy was beyond the grasp of my understanding, I pretty much didn't give a crap. But it turns out all those people talking about LJ slowly eliminating elements of fandom may have been right after all.

I thought it was pretty lame that they started their weak-ass adult-content flagging (I mean, what's the point when you can go in anonymously, or just click a button and lie about your age?) It was bad enough that they sold out to The Man by no longer offering free accounts, but now they're trying to censor fandom and any mention of sexuality (particularly homosexuality), and mental illness as well, apparently. If they seriously did start eliminating everyone of LJ who was gay or depressed, they'd lose more than half of their customers. Hell, pretty much all of bandom would disappear. And I would be so sad-faced, it's not even funny.

Damn it, this sucks. I love LJ. I've had one for years, I've paid a lot of my hard-earned money for it too. I like to think I'm not overly prone to paranoia, but if fandom is driven away, I'll have no reason to stay here. I don't like fucking MySpace or any other "social networking sites" because I'm not interested in chatting with teenagers (excluding any teenagers I may have on my LJ flist, who are cool and refreshingly literate) or playing tic-tac-toe or whatever features you get on Facebook. AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THE FANFIC ARCHIVED ON LJ? That's probably my biggest fear. I always copy and paste to my hard drive just to be on the safe side, but still.

I have a Greatest Journal and an Insane Journal, but I never use them because... well, hardly anybody I know posts over there. But if we ever have to go underground or whatever, you know where to find me. *shrugs*

(ETA: Okay, so I'm pretty much back to thinking that the people protesting LJ 'censorship' are idiots. Disregard all of the above.)
