FLYLEAF

OH
MY
GOD.

Let me repeat that for you, just to make sure you understand.

OH.
MY.
GOD.

Um, so the show last night was fucking awesome. I've never been to a show with so few bands playing (just two), but in a way I liked that, because the first band played a small set, and then Flyleaf got to play a ridiculously long one. :D The first band was Story of the Year. They were...okay. No they weren't. They sucked. XD. That's enough about them.

Flyleaf's setlist,  in no particular order:

In The Dark
Beautiful Bride
All Around Me
This Close
The Kind
Missing
Again
Sorrow
So I Thought
Circle
Cassie
Fully Alive
I'm So Sick
Chasm
Swept Away
Set Apart This Dream
Arise
Some song I didn't know the name of O_o

THEY PLAYED EVERY FUCKING THING I WANTED THEM TO PLAY. Except In The Dark. They totally should have played, like, Breathe Today or Red Sam instead. And then I would have cried from joy. Speaking of crying, I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PLAYED CIRCLE *AND* SO I THOUGHT. The two songs that make me cry all the fucking time. I didn't cry, but there was a good chance of it. XD. AND I'M SO GLAD THEY DIDN'T PLAY TINY HEART. That would have ruined it. XD
Pat and Jared collided mid-jump during I'm So Sick. It was hilarious. Almost as hilarious as Pat's creeper-hobo-hippie-lumberjack beard. And all the eye makeup. Who is this guy and what is he doing in this band. XD And I forgot how tiny Lacey is. And how gorgeous she is. She's so inspirational. I love her.

Ummm, I can't really think of much more to say. Other than that I really regret not bringing my camera. I was convince it would get broken. There was no movement in the crowd. It would have been fine. FML.
OH AND DAVID SEDARIS TONIGHT YEY. <3

I have no clever titles.

Sorry for my absence - there are a few reasons. For one, Tumblr took over my life. >_> It's the most adicting website ever, you have no idea. But I swear I'm not abandoning you guys! If you want to see me fangirl shamelessly over David Tennant/Doctor Who, Harry Potter, stupid memes, and other such things, feel free to follow me. The link should be on the sidebar over there <------.

I've been recovering from a weekend of awesomeness. A couple of times a year I go to a festival at Lothlorian Nature Sanctuary. I didn't sleep pretty much the entire time, and while I know that's a terrible idea and makes me feel ill for days, I can never seem to learn my lesson. Anyway, it was one of the most awkward/most hilarious/most fun/most exhausting/most amazing fests I've been to yet, and it was awesome to see all of my friends, and I can't wait to go back :D

I've been working on planning my NaNoWriMo novel, and it's not going too well. I have character profiles, and I know what all of my characters look like so far, which is a first. But I started trying to outline and I just can't make it happen. *shrugs*. Slowly plugging away, I guess.

Oh, lots of MCR happenings, in case you weren't already aware. They released a trailer for the new album, which is SO FUCKING EPIC I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT OMFG. After watching it five million times, I really want 'Art is the weapon against life as as symptom' & the Killjoy spider logo as a tattoo. XD And the first single, Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na) has been released as of yesterday. I know you can listen to it on Kroq. There's also an interview there. The album is called Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys, and will be out on November 22nd. Frank also posted the track listing on the website. When I think about the new album in November, it seems like years away. When I think about NaNoWriMo in November, I'm like, OMFG NO I'M NOT READY. XD

I sorta started a new digital painting, just cause I haven't played with my tablet much since I got Photoshop CS5. Which is superepicawesome, btw. Anyway, here's a WIP:

It's a bit shitty right now, hopefully it will be better soon. Hope you know who it is. If you don't, I might have to cut you.


Ohey, it's Thursday. Check out some stuff I've faved on deviantART.

I give up.

The MCR Mindfuck Continues

My Chem, you have baffled me with this one. I give up. You win. This madness has gone on a bit too long.
GIVE ME THE DAMN ALBUMMMMM.

>_>

I also give up on moving these certain 6 files to a different folder on my computer. IT JUST WON'T MOVE. *head!desk*
In other news. My eyebrow hurts really badly.
And if Season 5 of Doctor Who doesn't come out on DVD soon, I am going to go into withdrawl. IT'S LIKE CRACK. BUT EVEN BETTER THAN CRACK. O_O. *twitches*
Er. That was odd.

I am determined to draw a picture today. I was also determined to draw a picture the last three days. I'm also determined to work on planning my NaNoWriMo novel (did I tell you I decided on what to write?) .We'll see how that goes.

OH OH OH.

I watched pretty much an entire season of The Office in one day. That show is also like crack.

I was at Borders the other day and they had all of the Sandman books. All. Of. Them. On one shelf. ALL OF THEMMM.
They were $20 each so the whole set would have cost way too much.
SAAADD.
I'mma ask for them for Christmas or something.

I am not sure why I'm posting all this because it has no purpose.
Oh well.
Stare at this.

My Chemical Romace - what the...?

So I leave twitter for a few hours last night, and ALL KINDS OF SHIT GOES DOWN. Apparently the familliar My Chemical Romance website vanished, to be replaced by a weird TV that plays all kinds of creepy sounds. Plus all this mystery twitter accounts, by the names of DrDeathDefying, NewsAGoGo, and AgentCherriCola appeared posting cryptic messages, a few of them seemingly connected to Gerard Way's cryptic tweet last week. Cassie's blog has better information about all of this.
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN. I'm so creeped out/confused/EXCITED. And I want my friend to wake up already so that I can share this news with her. D:
Also, from Frank Iero's tweets last night, I think he's officially a dad. Congrats, Frank!
Perhaps I will post more about these mysterious happenings when more news arises. Or maybe I'll forget. We'll see.

Update: After going through all this, my friend and brother are thinking post-apocalyptic themed album. Your thoughts?
Update 2: Mcrdeviantclub has compiled a list of interesting theories, and other things I hadn't picked up on. Give it a read. Also, I would recommend checking the website at 6:30 PM tonight (some people are saying that it's 6:30 pm PST, but I'm not sure why.) One of the tweets from DrDeathDefying said something about it.
Update 3: Obviously nothing happened at 6:30. However, DrDeathDefying tweeted again, and  it seems like the numbers are counting faster and the music in the background of the scary-static-heat-vision-face channel is a bit clearer. I hear drums and possibly singing.
Update 4: The site is back to normal! Sporting a new layout and a blog post from Frank. You can still access the TV, though.

Things I Like Thursday

It's that time again... that time I forgot about until literally this second. Wooops.

Oh, but firstly, we're trying to trend #MyChemicalRomance on Twitter right now! help us out!
And I just got Disturbed's new album, Asylum. It's epic. I may post a review when I've listened to it more.
And a new library opened up where I live! It's a little sparse right now, since the old building was teeny tiny. And in the young adult section at least (that's as far as I've ventured other than the Fantasy section) everything is very jumbled and disjointed. But hey, they only opened up two days ago. :D I checked out some very typical-looking high-school drama sort of books to try to get a feel for my NaNoWriMo novel. I also got the new Dragonlance book (Dragons of the Hourglass Mage). On the cover, Raistlin's skin is white and the dragon orb is an hourglass. I don't have high hopes.
These last couple days have been long and exhausting and awful. I won't go into why. Stuff is weird. I've lived here for 17 years, and don't know anyone around here. Everyone I did know moved away, or we just don't hang out anymore. This really sucks.
On with the show.

Things I Like Thursday!

I did the most ridiculous amount of math today. You have no idea. I'm too pretty for this shit. D:
Oh, and I got my eyebrow pierced. It hurts a whole bunch (though it didn't hurt as bad as a wasp sting, as I discovered last night. that could just be because I have a very low tolerance for wasp stings. my foot swelled up to like, almost twice it's size o_o), but it's epiccccc. My Facebook profile picture has a good shot of it, but only in the large view. :P

Yeah. I totally spaced it out last week. >_> <_< Well. Things I Like is back. :D

Writer of the Week: Lixxle
A fanfiction writer in the Labyrinth fandom (which is the #1 coolest fandom ever, just so you know. We're all intellegent and like awesome things. We kick anime fandom's asses.) One of her stories, My Fine Feathered Friend, was inspired by some drawings that Pika-la-cynique did. It's all pure crack!fic, but in the best possible way - I dare you not to laugh out loud the whole way through all of her stories. Warning, quite a bit of 'adult-type touching', to quote Lixxle herself. But some of that is the funniest part.


Artist of the Week: Janey-jane
...There are no words. Just look at it. Especially these:
Sesshomaru,  The Goblin King, and Bioluminescence

Photographer of the Week: homedoggieo
A friend of mine from when I first joined deviantART...he doesn't get on too often anymore, but he still has some great stuff.

Band of the Week: Taking Back Sunday.
Omfg I love them. Listen to 'Swing', 'New Again', and 'Sink Into Me'. They're my favorites right now. :D

DRUMROLL PLZ.

Things I Like Thursday [which I just realized can be shortened to TILT, which amused me way too much] has RETURNED. *waits for people to clap* *crickets chirp in the background*

Well then, without further ado:

Writer of the Week:
fallenidle.

By far one of the best writers I've come across on deviantART. In particular, you should read these: Safe Word, Before It Falls Undone, and The Night Is Waiting.


Artist of the Week:
NineInjections

One of the first artists I started watching when I joined deviantART. She is incredible. There's a significant amount of yaoi [boy love] in her gallery, so if that offends you, go away. Also, buy her manga when it's published. :]. Look at these: Mirror, Cold Night [this one made me cry the first time I looked at it], A Sunday Morning, and Ambre and Rei.

Photographer of the Week:
t0x1c-d0lly

It was extremely hard to pick just a few to link to, because I love almost EVERY PHOTO IN HER GALLERY. But here you go anyway: Help, I'm Alive, Oh, Romeo, Blue and Green, and Thunders.

and a new addition [i almost spelled it 'edition', durr hurr], Band of the Week:
Flyleaf 

iTunes labels them as Alternative. I'm not sure what that means, but whatevs. They kick ass. They are a Christian band, which I normally don't like to listen to, but they are an exception. Listen to 'Treasure', 'Fully Alive', Circle' [makes me cry almost every time I listen to it], 'Cassie', 'Beautiful Bride', 'So I Thought' [not everyone likes this one, but it has very special meaning to me], 'Swept Away'... actually, you know what? Listen to EVERYTHING THEY'VE RELEASED. Honestly.

And to make sure that this post isn't totally pointless: Some writing excersizes which are quite nice :)
I didn't end up going to Michigan, because apparently all of the beaches there are poisoned with e.coli! So, since we prefer not dying, we (me and my BFF and her mom and little sister and our other BFF) went to this indoor water park instead. Which is epic, except I'm completely exhausted. Plus is started raining the second day we were there, and they had to close the park because of the lightning, so it was like, "OH HEY THE SEXY LIFEGUARD CAME BACK --- oh hey, we're leaving. :|." Buut it was fun.
Let's see, what else is new... oh, my laptop has a new screen, so I can finally do artsy stuff on it. And I just bought Converse. I will post pics once they're decorated. :D

I bought the most hilarious book at Target. It was called Loving Mr. Darcy by Sharon Lathan, and I thought it would be good, because the back cover made it seem so sweet. And Pride and Predjudice is one of my favorite books, and I really didn't want it to end. Soo I bought it. I tried to read it but couldn't get past chapter three because I was laughing so hard at Mr. Darcy's 'brutal techniques'.
There is nothing to this book besides sex. Badly written sex. Sex that makes ME uncomfortable when normally reading that doesn't bother me at all. It was like the author had only read about sex in shitty romance novels and never experienced it (neither have I, but STILL.) Also, the About the Author section said something about Lathan 'living in California, where she attends to her very own Mr. Darcy.' I would hate to be her Mr. Darcy.
So there's my review. Don't read it except for the lulz. :D

I DID read a good book, though, while I was waiting to get picked up at Borders :P I finally got around to reading Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. It was... interesting. I may write a review of it later.

I had to skip Things I Like Thursday, cause I couldn't get online much while I was at my friend's house, but it will be back next week for sure :)
Guess that's all! Much love.

OH EM GEE. EXCITEMENT.

SOO GUESS WHAT.

Neil Gaiman, the most amazing writer in the world, is writing a Doctor
Who episode! It will be the best episode ever. And Gaiman is a Doctor
Who fanboy, too. LOL.

He's also writing another Sandman book. Sandman ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman_(Vertigo)
) is the best series of graphic novels ever written. This is a fact.
Like, the end of Season of Mists made me cry, it was so good. I AM
FREAKING OUT WITH EXCITEMENT YOU GUYS. They're also re-releasing
Preludes & Nocturnes, The Dolls House, and Dream Country, which are
some other books in the series. I might be able to buy them. Which is
great, because they're pretty old and very rare. SQUEE.

This is all happening in the fall, by the way. Sounds like lots of
stuff is happening in the fall, or sometime around then. DISTURBED is
coming out with a new album in August, and Evanescense is working on a
new album (don't know when it's coming out), and so is My Chemical
Romance. Although, they said it was going tone released LAST fall, so
god knows what's going on with them. They must have enough songs for
three albums by now. Plus the MCRmy site just vanished, which is
EXTREMELY nervewracking. I know the old site was a bit obsolete, but
still...I loved it.

Anyway. Didn't mean to start rambling. Go here: http://pika-la-cynique.deviantart.com

She is awesomefull. Especially if you like the movie Labyrinth (yay
for glittery!David Bowie and puppet!goblins) or Phantom of the Opera
or most really good fandoms, really. :) Also check out her fanfiction.net
page, cause she's a brilliant writer as well as a brilliant artist.
I'm jealous.

Hello, three followers! Thank you for being interested in my rambling!
