The day when a piece of me died
 
I woke up on Sunday with a horrible headache from having slept four hours the night before and a terrible need to listen to music. I opened my laptop and went on iTunes, going through my playlists and randomly picking one, not really in the mood for a certain compilation of songs. The first song was 'When You Were Young' and then 'The Kids From Yesterday' followed, making me think, hey I haven't listened to the whole MCR discography in quite some time.
 
'Now this could be the last of all the roughs of all the roughs we take, so hold on tight and don't look back'
 
The day was quite boring, having to do homework and whatnot. It was just an uneventful Sunday, just like so many others. Life is kind of boring, especially when it's March and it's freezing outside.
 
I decided to take a nap, because I was tired and my eyes were aching, and after that I went on a long walk with my dog in the park, casually listening to music with my earbuds in, picturing myself singing and head banging on the stage of my own gig.
 
I had no clue that this simple Sunday was going to change within an hour. Returning home, I changed and turned on my laptop before going on Tumblr, reblogging some stuff lazily before going on polyvore. There, I scrolled though some sets and saw the following title 'mcr are over :c'.
 
Wait, what?!
 
It's incredible what rumors do over the Internet, so I decided to google it and read from a trustworthy news site, to see if it really was true.
 
And guess what? My Chemical Romance are no longer a band. But just as Gerard said, it never was a band - it was an IDEA. Thing is, I survived so much with this idea. My first breakdown, my first cut, my first weeks of depression, the bad days, as well as the good.
 
I still sing 'Blood' with Julie in the car or in the classroom or wherever, because that's our song and it's what we've always laughed about, because it fu.cking made us happy. My Chemical Romance made me happy, because yeah, life sucks - but they told me it get better, eventually.
 
I recall the time when 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)' used to be the soundtrack of my life. I was in a bad place when I discovered this band, and they helped me get by. I could completely relate to their lyrics, to their struggles and doubts, I was less alone. Because they weren't faking it, they never told you "hey, kid, cheer up, things are gonna be a-okay". No, that was something they never did, lying was something they never tried to do. I've watched Gerard's videos in which he openly spoke about his depression and tough times. I knew those feelings were real, because they have experienced them, and it was some sort of comfort for someone like me to know that those guys, whom I admire so much, have survived what I was feelings.
 
And I still am thankful for that. Walking to school this morning, listening to their discography, I realized that 'The Kids From Yesterday' are all of us, Killjoys. Because they may not still be a band, but their message will carry on. I personally know my children will listen to My Chemical Romance.
 
It's funny how comfortable I was with the idea that My Chemical Romance is safely on my iPod, and I was so sure that they would continue adding more and more music to the iTunes folder destined for them. Boy, was I wrong. And frankly, the news made my stomach twist. In fact, I haven't eaten much in the last few hours, because my stomach's a mess.
 
And what you are going to say is 'dude, chill out, it's just a band'. But the thing is, you're wrong. For me, it's more than a band. And so is for everybody else that has supported it all along. My Chemical Romance is a concept, a way of living, and I will carry it within me for as long as I live.
 
Today I realized that what pains me the most is that I never got the chance to see them live or meet them and tell them how much I have learnt from them, and how much good they have done to me, and how thankful I am for all they have done these part twelve years. So thank you. Thank you, Gerard, Mikey, Frank, Ray and all the drummers and backstage people that have contributed to the magical thing called My Chemical Romance. I love you and I will miss you sorely.

WHY AM I PUBLISHING SETS WHEN NOBODY IS ON?!
Ugh, I hate time zones, especially since I am happy with a cropped set, for once.
 
I managed to sleep exactly four hours last night, because of @el-camino
But hey we're fabulous so it's cool.
 
I really, really, really want this week to be over, because it's the last one before spring break and I am really exhausted because of all the school stuff I have to constantly do.
 
Oh well, I have to go back to doing homework, yey.
See ya.

---- we'll all be // the maine

WHY AM I PUBLISHING THIS NOW, NOBODY IS ON asdfghjkl
Oh well, living dangerously.
 
Anyway, this week has been really busy and it seems like there's an eternity left till weekend, even if right now it's 9:52 am on a cloudy Thursday.
 
Yesterday I went to this fundraising gala organized by some family friends that are promoting the alternative education through art, which is so super interesting and very, very welcomed by all the highschoolers that have been taking part every year since 2006. Ideo Ideis is the name of the association, which mainly focuses on young theatrical performances (all teenagers are invited, from freshmen to seniors, they're all free to join in the programme).
Last night, before the actual fundraising thing happened, the team that won the prize for best play in the last year's Ideo Ideis edition, literally surprised us with the representation of "Seven in a kick", which was the play they were awarded for.
It mainly focuses on seven different stereotypes that are at this casting for a new soap opera, and after ending up on the short line of possible actors, they are thrown into a Big Brother kind of thing for three days, time in which they are filmed non-stop and the public is continuously voting their favourite. As the play goes on, each person tells his story, and what determined them to do go to the casting - while others do it for the heck of it, others literally need the money, or a getaway train from their life they're leaving. Some just want to feel like they're not invisible anymore.
It's a wonderful play, filled with lots of laughter, sadness, bitterness, love, hope and a big dose of reality. I loved it so much I actually cried! And I couldn't even believe that seven high schoolers, with no special theatrical preparations, have made me feel as if I was actually watching real actors. It was amazing.
 
Tonight, a very good friend of mine invited me to the premier of her film, "Domestic". She's sort of one of the leading roles, and it's her fifth film, so I am really glad that at such a young age (she's thirteen), she's following her parents' footsteps so well (both of them are actors). So I am going to that gala tonight as well - I AM A CULTURAL PERSON, ALRIGHT?!
 
Haha, yeah. But tbh I actually am thankful for the fact that I was blessed to have been exposed to so much art and other cultural things ever since I was a little kid, I realize not many kids my age have the chance to do the things that I do, and I am very thankful for my parents and their care for cultural activities.
 

In other words, big shoutout to @kennedybrock for introducing me to Macklemore. I swear, when I first listened to Thrift Shop in my friend's car, we were like 'this is funny, kinda dumb but funny', and I wasn't that impressed. But then I listened to 'Wings', 'Same Love' and 'Otherside', and now I've got his album, 'The Heist', on my iPod.
 
Also, La Dispute need to fix their online store because I literally can't buy anything, and it's not because of living in Narnia, but the fact that they need to fix their MasterCard issues and stuff. But I really, really want to buy 'Here, Hear III' and their second album.
 
Also, Kimbra is a goddess. I really love the way she has developed, and has much more confidence in her voice than she did when 'Vows' first came out. She has changed dramatically, both in terms of fashion, and in terms of her vocals and all. For example, I like her more live than on the CD, she's more... Courageous, I believe. Compare these two links ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i1mr9amqeg & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYByvCsYWm0 ) and see for yourself. I think the second version is much better, full of life and all.
 

AND FINALLY,
I can't wait for 'Paramore', 'Wild & Free' and 'Save Rock&Roll'! These are going to be fantastic albums, ah.
And also, I can't wait to hear The Maine's fourth studio album, as well as check out Lydia's freshly released one - what would I be doing without music?
 

Alright, I think that's all I had to say for now,
See ya!

-- nine // la dispute

WHY DOES POLYVORE NOT HAVE THIS AMAZING SONG WHY?!
Seriously, a friend of mine showed it to me and I cried for half an hour listening to it on repeat.
Reasons why La Dispute is perfect.
 
Okay, so for this round I had to make a set inspired by the animal that represents my group, which is the fox. So, I did the following;
+ I chose this colour scheme because whenever I think of foxes I think of orange and green.
+ The outfit is sort of what I usually wear when going to the forest.
+ I used some forest-ish fillers just to add more of a mountain (sound) feeling.
 
I hope it's alright what I did, and now for the bonus points part;
+ I added those two green pictures of leaves and the guy with antlers made of his hands because they remind me of Dirty Paws. Now, I know they're not exactly forrest pictures, but they really remind me of the whole album, actually. Also, the picture of the two people holding each other, that is sort of strongly inspired by 'Mountain Sound'.
+ No lyrics inclusion from the song, because Nine > anything.
+ tagging my fellow members!
