    IF YOU'RE LURKING, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY READ THIS







    Ok so, I really enjoy posting music and stuff for you guys. It's there for you to enjoy and I'm glad that you obviously are, but is it really so hard to leave a little comment that says something as simple as "thank you"? I know that this seems petty but it really bothers me that I take my time uploading and putting together posts and no one can even say "thank you".

    So, here's the deal. Depending on how the next music or graphics post goes, whenever that is, I will no longer be posting them here. I will post them, UNDER LOCK, MEMBERS ONLY at [info]uberflu (for graphics) and [info]astrophonica for music.

    I'll update here to let you know that I've posted at either of those places. If you don't want to join, oh well, NO GOODIES FOR YOU.

    I'll also be closing my box and mediafire accounts off from public downloading. I'll password protect them from now on and if you want to download anything, you'll have to comment for the password.

    No more lurk leeching.

    No more.

    Writer's Block: Holiday blues

    What is the most emotionally challenging aspect of the holidays for you? Do you enjoy this season more or less than you did as a child?


    View 822 Answers



    Everything. Most years I can't really afford to buy people presents but I end up spending all my money buying people presents anyway. I was lucky this year to have extra. No one ever gets me anything but receiving gifts isn't the point of giving them. Or that's what I tell myself to make myself feel better. Ha.

    I definitely enjoy it less. Not that christmas as a kid was so special either. We were poor then too. But back then I think I cared less. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

    And there's this:




    YES. I AM STREET TEAMING LIKE A 15 YEAR OLD. WHAT OF IT?

    In other news, I may or may not have just made a very foolish decision purchasing this print:

    For an amount that I should not have paid for a print.

    But Gerard approves!

    So all is well!

    I'll probably make a ~real~ update at some point. But you can still follow me on tumblr which I update a lot.

    You can also take a look at my userinfo and add me at any of those links.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE.

    Lol. Do I really need to answer this?

    4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 29?
    "This man is using his mind as a weapon...
    ... And woe be tide the creature who
    Steps into his garden"

    No.

    6. What's your favorite album from 10?

    8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
    Gerard and Bert slash tbh.

    No because they are senior citizens.

    10. When did you first get into 8?
    Once long long long ago, I saw them in an article of AP. I thought the lead singer had stupid hair. And then years after that the bassist married my property. I still claim that she is a lesbian and the guys dick belongs to me. This is a true story.

    11. Who likes 4 along with you?
    I actually don't know that many people that like Deftones tbh. I've been a fan of theirs since middle school. Most of the time when I do run across their fans, they are older, elitist assholes. I hate that. OH, but sometimes, sometimes I run into their stoner fans. That, that I can deal with.

    15. Why do you like 14's songs?
    You know, unless it's a band that I really love I never have an answer for a question like this aside from "I just like it".

    When FUSE used to be MuchMusic and they used to play the Smack and Katie video every ten minutes.

    17. How long was 19 a singer before you liked them?
    I don't know. They were still relatively new when Somebody Told Me came out, weren't they?

    18. Does 13 have a song that gives you a bad memory?
    No

    19. When did you get into 17?
    When a friend asked me to find their album for them.

    20. How long have you been into 9?
    A year or so?

    Yes.

    22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
    None. Lol.

    23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?

    24. Does 27 have a song that makes you happy?
    Happy? No.

    25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
    No.

    Make Way For The King, Lucky Strike, Were It Not For You and On Our Way.

    28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once?
    There are probably a lot actually since I don't like them all that much. It's just that they have a handful of songs that they like that I end up playing repeatedly.

    Not that I can think of.

    Breathe Me

    This Armistice

    32. If 49 hated you, what would you do?
    Blog about it.

    33. What would you say if 42 or one of the members from 42 asked you out?
    Blush and stutter through an acceptance.

    34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
    No.

    50. Have you ever danced to a song from 35?
    Lol. Yes.

    and in case anyone is interested ~lol, no one is interested~, i post a lot more on my tumblr then here because tumblr is easier and faster to update, but it's mostly with just pictures, songs, videos and random nonsense.

    not that i've abandoned lj. i still use this as a safe place to "write write" when the urge strikes me.

    hope everyone is well!

    Posting This Here Because I Can~

    This was rejected by the mods at [info]chemicalromance. I submitted it a second time with a note, just to ask why it was rejected since there was no reason given. The mod then messaged me saying that, in a nutshell, it was rejected because it was not news pertaining directly to the band, did not contain pretty pictures for people to ogle or for people to bitch about their weights/facial hair/hygeine/how much they hate the name Bandit and it was considered it advertising. That's what I got out of the reasoning anyway. I couldn't help but be perturbed by this considering most of the posts that get through there. Frankly, I think it's bullshit. If we aren't allowed to submit this type of thing there, where are we supposed to do it? It is the biggest MCR community on LJ after all. I wasn't hawking my shitty merch or a community. I mean, basically one of the guys could drop a deuce, take a twitpic and it would be approved there for fans to analyze the shape and consistency but god forbid someone have a positive suggestion of some sort. Even if nothing at all comes of it.

    After days and days in the queue my post was rejected a second time. The mods saying they came to a "mutual agreement" that it shouldn't be posted because it isn't directly related to the band.....Of course. Because you really needed to know that the Helena replica dress was up for bid on E-bay. Oh, and it was very vital for you to see someones fan fiction satire lyrics. Obviously, these are both very very very relevant and directly related to the band.





    Ok, so, a lot of you may have heard of the NOH8 Campaign. If you haven't basically it's a photo project and "silent protest" of the passage of Prop 8.

    The band doesn't seem too political but from statements they've made in the past it would seem they are interested in equality. To me, that is what this campaign is about.

    I thought it would be worth a shot to bring the project to their attention in the off chance of even one of them being interested in participating.

    All I am asking is to re-tweet this *or feel free to make your own tweet mentioning @NOH8Campaign to ANY or ALL of the band* once. Not ten or twenty times to badger and flood him with it but once. I think if a handful of people were to do that he'd either:

    1. See it and ignore it.
    2. Say no or that he/they don't have time.
    3. Still not see it at all. Haha.

    I just think it would be neat if there were even a slim chance of one or all of them taking a portrait. Especially since it's for such a good cause.

    Oh, and feel free to ask your friends to re-tweet. Remember though, only once, please.

    I guess that's it. Again, this is just a suggestion, if you have different views on the matter then you don't have to do it. I'm not looking to start a debate. I was just interested in bringing a good cause to their attention. Even if nothing at all comes of it, if he notices at all, maybe it will be a refreshing thing to see in the midst of all the garbage that is tweeted to them all the time.

    **eta: if you know of any other people of interest who would be keen on participating, why not go ahead and try to make them aware of the project as well! :]

    Writer's Block: On the Airwaves

    If you had your own radio or television station, what would it be called and what kind of programming would it play?


    View 514 Answers



    to be perfectly honest, a secret passion of mine since i was a kid was to be a vj. no joke. back when mtv played actually music videos and had programming that actually revolved around music. i honestly thought that it must have been the coolest thing in the world, to constantly be surrounded by and working with something you have a legitimate passion and interest for. i thought it was amazing that these people didn't have to actually produce music themselves to be a part of that world. they were essentially, fans and nothing more.

    that said, i would JUMP at the chance to have my own media music outlet. not because i think my taste is anything spectacular, in fact, there are a lot of folks and critics who would probably laugh in my face, but that's not the point. the point is i'm a fan, and as a fan, i want to share what i like, what i enjoy and what i'm interested in. it would be awesome to have a job or opportunity like that.

    i have no idea what i'd call it. i wouldn't want to give the impression that you are only going to hear any one type of music. in fact, i don't think i'd want it just to focus on music, but movies, technology and every so often, politics.

    i'd want it to be something people could have fun with and also be interested in the content to a degree where they are actually thinking. sort of interactive.

    so i guess it would be a little of something for everyone. not so much a talk show but a forum for all sorts of artists in all sorts of categories to come and be heard.

    would anyone be interested in an invite to lockerz?

    usually i don't go for this kind of thing but this seems pretty legit.

    and if you don't know what it is, here is the description from the site:

    Lockerz is the place to go to buy the coolest stuff at the lowest prices, watch exclusive video, discover new music, play the hottest games, hang out with your friends - and get rewarded for just about EVERYTHING you do on the site.

    Our mission is to be your daily habit, not a site for your parents or grandparents looking for their long-lost friends from Kindergarten.

    One other thing you'll love about Lockerz are PTZ (or "Pointz"). PTZ are Lockerz' proprietary loyalty "currency" that you earn whenever you buy, watch, play, share, invite friends, or even just show up on Lockerz. Redeem PTZ at the PTZ Place for incredible prizes, great products and dream experiences.

    Too Good to Be True? Why are we doing this? To thank you for joining early. To build a Lockerz community of cool, stylish, cutting-edge people who love to buy great brands. To give you a taste of how PTZ will work when we go live this fall. And to test out different prizes and PTZ levels. That’s key. This version of PTZ Place is a test. PTZ levels will change when the full Lockerz site launches.

    Lockerz is set to launch sometime in the Fall 09. Members who sign up now will get to explore and help shape the site before the launch. We hope you'll join us.


    if you're skeptical you can take a gander at their facebook page.

    idk, i have nothing better to do so why not waste my time on a site that may give me ~prizes~.

    anyway, if you want an invite please leave your e-mail address here.

    comments are screened and i can only give out 20.

    i don't get very close to people that often, but when i do i go head first. i throw myself into the few friendships i manage to have whole heartedly. it always goes south in the end. always. i've never ever experienced a lasting friendship. my bad habit is trusting too much that people will be willing to put up with or give themselves as much as i do. it never works that way. never.
