I have come to terms with the fact that eventually I am going to have to mention it. Will it be with sweeping metaphors or outright denial? Perhaps no one will understand.
For now I am listening to the little voice, and reevaluating priorities.
My lovelies, you are free to assume whatever you choose, but I will not be ignoring you. The electricity just doesn't buzz the same and I can't always find the switch.
End of the year...this shit is always out of hand.
p.s. this is how I have always imagined it for someone else.

Well, I just came up with a new word too, I guess.
Hope. LOVE. Faith.
At least it wasn't as bad as J. last night who used the phrase "soft pore corn." :)
L.
How ya doin', L?
*huggle*
Hey I lope soft corn porn. its the best. And Mayo is the Queen of writing it.
Hey, Marthajones, everyone. Just checking in for a minute, but J. and I both will be on later. I just had to dispute our friend's comment. :)
Talk to you all then!
Love ya,
L.
do you think someone who works for blogger lurks here just to check that everything is ok.
do you think mayo could be woring with blogger to bring publicity for blogger.
we could all be adverts. wat could we advertise
ermmmm let me see
glowsticks
sharpies
any suggestions
If Mayo ever ventures into the world of porn again, it had just better be guy on guy, damnit.
Hobosexual.
Just felt like saying that.
Hello MJ, how are you?
BC, you are gonna have to come up with an abbreviation for your new name cos I can't keep typing the lot in lol!
Oh sorry it soft pore corn but I still lope it.
Jappy an extreme state of happiness, usually accompanied by cryptic message written with sharpies and an abundance of marks of love.
Lope: a substitute for love or the feeling of hope and love.
soft pore corn: Mayo's erotic writing
If Mayo ever ventures into the world of porn again, it had just better be guy on guy, damnit.
Lord have mercy!!!
Kapunua's ass
Lol Miss T, just call me BC. I don't mind ^_^
I'm still not convinced that this new Nickname option really changes everything. Has anyone tried it out re: hijacking a person's username?
Guys when I read his last venture into porn I just change the she to he in my mind so it was always guy on guy for me.
How's that?
Oooh, somebody else's shoes. Niiiice.
(twirls about in my pretty black parade uniform and lovely hat)
Hey and you alos can't link it back to the blog. Shit I knew Mayo was the Queen Of FF07 but damn.
Oh, hey! This is excellent!
Haha! Nice try, Jennicula ;)
FS, I would advertise pizza hut and holidays to Egypt.
BC, I did try with the new name.
Let's try not to give anyone any ideas?
RW check out my little post as mayo @ 8:35 and it can't be linked back to the blog anymore.
<_<
>_>
Who? Me? (blinks rapidly)
hehe
Miss T, it's up to you whether you want to continue calling me BC or a new one, BL, take your pick. As for the weather, I am not sure how bad it may be, the news will be on in a bit and I shall check by then. Tomorrow is the last day of November already as well O_O
Sweet, MJ!
we should advertise
laughing
weddings
sex tapes
sharpies
glowsticks
kapunuas ass
sister's boots
unicorns
anyone else have ideas
I hate everyone becauwe I THINK I am so much smarter than you. Don't come into my house. I only talk to my friends. We should make gifts for Mayo. I wrote a comment about it, Mayo should go look.
FS attack anon because they are more viscous than guard dogs.
Hey everybody i am back after my net being down for days :/
Hope everyone is well.
Mayo does your P.S refer to Love?
I forgot body snatcher for those times when one of you just isn't enough
Is there a pretend kapunua? Im confused?
Whats with the nickname thing on the comment box?
BC, I'll stick with BC lol!
You do get bad weather in your part of the world sometimes don't you? I guess we've been lucky here so far.
FS, me and CTV would advertise same sex marriages.
Hi there shame in me. It is I, BC. How are you?
martha i am bit slow. i dont get it. you want me to attack the anons?
Be back in ten minutes.
Miss T, that's good. Guess what? I had pizza earlier today too! ^___^
Winter is approaching us and so, the weather is becoming a bit stiff.
Bc you are in disguise haha. i wondered why your blog didnt work when i tryed going to it. How come you changed your name? Can i still call you bc?
BC, I can tell it's getting colder here cos the toe I broke last year has gone numb.
Shame in me, yep and I have a tendency to change my profile and change my name alot. I get fickled sometimes, but sometimes I also do it to throw certain others off. you can still call me BC of course. As for my old blog, I deleted the account.
Fs you said we should advertise two of the products you forgot were attack anons and body snatcher
Hi Sim how are you?
Sdock said:
Mayo,
How are ya? Excellent, I hope. Me? I'm worn out from fighting the mother fucker of all headaches today, but I'm all better now.
I know I told you earlier that I wouldn't be able to post once I got home and I still can't so I send this message to you through one of my BlogBelieve family members. We're tight like that. Always have each other's backs. It's the most awesome thing like...EVER! And you helped start it!
So I leave you with this...make today count, make someone smile, make someone's day, make a statement, make someone feel special, make a difference where it's least expected, and you are guaranteed to make an impact.
Faithfully...
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Make it up as you go along....life happens like that.
^My deleted comment. Just saw Miss T beat me to it ;)
Hello martha :) How are you? i am full of the cold but im glad my internet is working again :) yay. I had so much catching upto do today i couldnt believe it!!
Have you been doing anything exciting dear?
I'm angry at the whole world so I lash out on every one. I pretend to me nice by writing poems for every body but if you don't like me I will yell and curse at you. Nothing is ever good enough forme and I think I am better than the rest of you, this shows in my writing..... You might think I am smart but really it is just bitchyness and being concieted. I think I am above every one else even Mayo.
Sim my computer is not working and I'm going through hell trying to get it fixed and just tonight i was able to log back into my blog account.
What's the point of this, fake Kapunua. Are you upset because you can no longer hijack user names?
Awww, diddums!
Fake kapu why do you feel the need to pretend to be someone else?
Yes RW, I beat you *evil laugh*.
status update:
i am clean.
i have a comment box (at last).
i am making dinner.
*settles in on the couch*
Yes RW, I beat you *evil laugh*.
I'll get you yet, Miss T!
*shakes fist*
Hi tj how are you?
Anon at 6:14,
I just told J. what you wrote and she said, and I quote:
"He is VERY pretty. I would lope to have Frank in my home for some soft pore corn. It would make me very jappy for my birthday. And I am unanimous in that decision."
So there! :)
10 extra points if you know where that "unanimous" line comes from.
Love ya,
L.
"Are You Being Served", Original Punks! :)
Off to shower, brb...
Right you are, RW! I love that show.
Are you feeling better?
Love ya,
L.
RW, you'll have to catch me first.
BC, I forgot to say, you are making me jealous with the pizza talk. I have to wait an extra day this week cos we are going out for pizza on my sis's birthday on saturday.
Well, looks like I have to sign in. Can't use fancy names anymore, ah well! ^_^
I guess I'll use the Blogger thing for those things I'm please to call "poetry."
L: Mrs. Sloacombe! ^_^
so fake kapunua. are you still here?
hey there squeak squeak.
Miss T, I must admit, I enjoy being a tease sometimes. He he, but it does suck you have to wait an extra day for pizza. That is torturous enough O_o
Right you are, RW! I love that show.
Are you feeling better?
Much, thank you :)
AIM: shewolfkapu
Biting my tongue right now.
Oh wait...that's good.
K - have you been kidnapped? Don't make me worry about you.
I'm kind of worried about everyone.
We need a fun time now or a promise to cheer the fuck up this weekend? y/n?
BC, it is HELL having to wait an extra day.
So I had an extra one this week on Monday ha!
I got bodysnatched but you know this is the real me. ^_^
Miss T, it should be required by law that we eat a pizza at least once a week, but either way, me and my family preaches it. ^___^

Hi TJ *hug*
OP's ,BC, FS ,Kapunua, fake kapunua, RW, Jen CTV missT, PH elena, Jen, black death star (I do like that name), and anyone else...
I have just had my last Starbucks venti mocha frappaccino. :(
I will have to survive without it until I return to brisbane.
You know i think the MCR and Circa Survive guys should come back after Hawaii and do some sightseeing in other parts of Australia, it's such a shame for bands to never see the countries they go to.
I agree BC, it should be law to have pizza at leat once a week.
We should lobby parliament.
Hey love.
So it appears as if we're not going to be getting a blog tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
Hi there Ergo. How are you?
-BC
Hello EP how are you?
hey there CTV. Miss T, who is the current prime minister? Me being in the U.S. I was thinking of writing to Mr. President about the proposed pizza ordinance, but I decided that I would rather marry a donkey instead :D
CTV I can't remember if I said hi to you so Hi.
Hi Ergo, how are you?
CTV, it doesn't look like there will be a new blog, you're right *boo hoo*
Hello there BC and anyone else.
Well. I guess I won't be here to see a new record for the number of comments. I should be off now. Take care guys. Goodnight.
Miss T, I forgot to tell you that I also have a new blog. There is a post, but it's just a hello, nothing big.
take care and sweet dreams CTV

Yep. Mrs. Sloacumbe! Old British comedies are great. Saturday night is British night on PBS here.
Keeping Up Appearances is another fav, along with Ab Fab. At one time J. and I were a lot like Patsy and Edina. Kinda scary.
RW, glad you are feeling better.
To anyone I missed, Hello and Goodnight. :) I'm really tired today, so I am going to bed.
J. says Hello! to all. She will talk to you guys later too.
By the way, SS, you never did an "About Me" list. Even Mayo gave us one. Come on, post yours!

Once more, with feeling, goodnight all!
Love,

Goodnight CTV and L.
You ladies are a bunch of foul mouthed little todger teasers.
Miss T, I think some of the bloggers were having problems seeing the comments because of the images that are posted next to their usernames. That's what's causing the page to take a while to load.

I just can't get the visual at all.
Aw get well Lolita. Goodnight Miss T, K.
Goodnight Kapu
I hope you get better Lh. Christmas sweaters on guys I don't know. But GW has some odd choices in clothes some times. Like that hoodie with the smiley clouds and rainbows.

Hey MJ!
How is everyone else who is ACTIVELY BLOGGING this evening?
-A
Hi and goodnight paperheart. 689848933 hugs to you!!
Hi there amy how are you? Yep, Sis m, you heard right. I announced to the world I was going to marry a donkey. Night night fimble
-BC
Yes
Haven't even read the blog tonight. I'm channeling the hubby. Just showed him a couple of Brisbane videos. He thinks the other PR crappy videos were more genuine. These are like "performances" with no substance. yes, he sounds better, and he seems to be walking the company line. As in "dance, pretty breakfast monkey, dance" or else.... So what do you guys think? Do you agree with the hubby who is the greatest hubby ever (he's lobbying for votes) or is he full of breakfast
So tell me. What do you want for Chirstmas?
WHAT WHAT WHAT??? Mr. Humphries died?!?!? Nooooooo!!!
WAIT WAT?!?!
-A
Hey BDS!
What's this talk about videos now?
-A
I want a new computer for Christmas and the old MCR and Gee WAY back. Hi Carrie I haven't seen any of the videos from the recent shows so I can't tell you.
Hey Carrie's hubby. Carrie it's nice you have a hubby who will watch video's of the band with you. Mine would rather have his head nailed to the floor then even listen to MCR.
Okay, well Gee seems to have calmed down a bit since PR. I don't know. Maybe married life is agreeing with him. On PR it was like he was running full throttle towards a wall. Who knows. Maybe he's finally gotten what he's always wanted all along. Of course sometimes when we get what we think we want we find out it wasn't really what we wanted at all. The old "Be careful what you wish for"
My question is the wife with him. I think being around her added to the whole trying to run full throttle into a wall.
Martha I want what I can't have. I want to feel the way I used to feel about Christmas. The excitement. The way I felt about decorating the house, baking the cookies, wrapping the gifts. It's gone, all of it. My kids don't care one way or another if the house is decorated. I can't stand that thought of baking cookies cause I hate food and as for gifts I can't even begin to know what they want. It doesn't help that I have a husband who hates the holidays. He alwasy has but before I could overlook that. Now I can't. I hate his negative attitude. I hate that for years I was the one who had to make a happy Christmas for the kids. Mostly I hate that they will never remember the good times we had. Shit I've gone and depressed myself again. Good job, SanDee. Way to go.
I think of PR he was trying to impress her. Maybe now that they're married he doesn't feel he has to do that. He can be himself.
Elena I wish I could give you what you want most for Christmas. I know how you feel. Christmas isn't the same for me either.
What I want for christmas? For the old Gerard to come back and for everything to go back the way it once were. Other than that, I want to have a new beginning and a fresh start to life.
When I think of their relationship Gw and LynZ I think they have feelings for each other but I don't think its an adult That's the feeling I get. The way he talks about the whole thing just seems like it is more lust than anything else.
Anyway if sticking his hands down his pants is what he does to impress her that just says a lot to me about that relationship.
I want to get engaged already.
-A
I'm off to dream land so you guys have fun.
I's here again! ^_^
Hi Amyranth, MJ, BC (BDS), Elena, Carrie! Looks like everyone else has gone to bed, just us chickens again.
Elena, as much as I would like to agree with you, I can't. Yes, Gerard does seem more toned down than he was during Projekt Rev. But I have a really hard time watching any interviews he's done, because (to me, anyway) his new-found 'confidence' comes off as arrogance. Yeah, the world really needs yet another arrogant rock-star behaving like an ass. >.<
I used to really like watching him in interviews, because he seemed so genuine. Now, he just seems bored, as if he'd rather be doing something else. It's like, "Hey, lookit ME, I'm married now so I don't need to please anybody but myself and my wife." If that's the case, then he's in the wrong business. If you want your band to remain successful, the fans have to come first; different rules for a different lifestyle.
Sorry to get all long-winded on you guys, I'm just really wary that the shit-storm ain't over yet. All I can say is, dude needs to learn to be himself: by himself, for himself.
Amy, honestly I do too, but only if I want to freak my family out ;p
Hi sis m. I guess it's us chickens now.
Night night mj.
Sis m, I absolutely agree.
I am not sure if this may frustrate some (well, maybe) but the last recent interview they did (with him and Bob) I read he was wearing his shades again.
Sister I can understand what you are saying. I hated to hear him say that the band is just a small part of his life. Yeah, he's got a life outside the band but it's only a SMALL part? When did that happen? Kinda makes the fans, the people who care about him and the rest of the guys seem pretty unimportant. Maybe he's cutting ties, but at what cost?
Oh wait, Amy, I'm already engaged. To a donkey. I announced it earlier in the evening ^_^
Lol
where did everyone go?
Well, anyways, I am going to say goodnight. Goodnight elena, amy, sis m. goodnight mayo
Amyranth, you live with your guy, right? Maybe he'll pop the question at Christmas? Maybe??
BC, it'll happen. Give it time, you two -- you're still young & perky!
LOL at me - I said perky!!
Good night, MJ. And I think you're right -- it's lust. Didn't he mention in Part 2 of that NME interview that Projekt Rev was so great because he MET "the [woman] I was going to marry"?
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he really does love her. But methinks he's more in love with the idea of having a wife than with the girl herself. :\
Perky!! Lol. Sis m, didn't you hear? I'm engaged to a donkey now. I'll try to introduce it to you guys tomorrow lol ;p
goodnight and sweet dreams to you guys. To you lurkers as well.

SisM - If he knows what's good for him, he will.
Brb, supper just came home.

Have fun, Amyranth! ^_^
'Night, BC!
Hope you're having a good night, Mayo.
I loves you guys, ttyl!
(<--- bedtime for Bonzo)
You know it's kinda sad a guy who's 30 years old can't "walk this world alone" He's always been in a relationship since he was a teen. That's what he has said. He needs to learn to take care of himself, be happy with himself, and not depend on someone else to make him happy. He needs to look deep within himself and like the person there. How can you really love someone else and expect them to love you if you can't love yourself? Society makes us believe that if we don't have someone then we aren't complete. What a load of shit. Guess GW is like Mayo. "I'm scatter brained so I need someone to look after me." No, you need to grow up and look after yourself. Once you do that then you can share your life with someone else.
Elena, your comment is so bang-on, it should be wallpapered everywhere across the fandom!!
Good night, lovey!
*hugz* Hang in there, tomorrow is another day. If we can't make you feel better, at least we can make you laugh. ^_~
<--- is REALLY off to bed now!
G'nite, everybuddeh!
Night Sister and thanks
Well Mayo... Another day has gone. Another day I will never get back. It wasn't bad as a matter of fact is was better than most. I spent it alone. Just me and my thoughts. I'm comfortable with that. Sometimes I'm more than comfortable with that. Not good being married and all. I chose this path and I will continue on it. Not to do so would hurt others namely my children. I'm not unhappy most of the time. I do love my husband. I don't love the man he is becoming. I see it but I'm helpless to stop it. Each passing year it gets worse. Depression, too much to drink, and I can't stop him. He is a product of his childhood. See he never learned to take care or love himself and I believed I could change that. Oh how wrong I was. However I will continue to try. I have to try. It's just sometimes I get so fucking tired. Sometimes I just want to be..anyone but me.
My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way tells NEALA JOHNSON the Black Parade is finally over
You've just touched down for your Australian tour. Have you brought the full shebang with you?
We, have, but we've brought a different shebang. We didn't bring Black Parade 'cos we stopped playing as Black Parade in Mexico(last month); we wanted to end it there. But we've brought a production, lights and pyro.
Was it a case of, if you put on the Black Parade suit one more time you'd scream?
That's pretty much what happened. The whole idea behind it was to make that record come alive, really play as the band, put our money where our mouth was. To be quite honest with you, 10 shows of that would have proved our point. After a while it was like, we don't wanna play as another band, we just wanna play as our band. And we don't necessarily wanna play this record back to front, we wanna play other stuff as well.
Without the Black Parade element how will your Aussie shows work?
We play more as mixed set. We play a couple of old songs too, and I'm pretty sure we'll be playing a song we've never played live--Desert Song-- which is an unreleased song off Revenge. We never had the time to record it.
My Chem have also had a few personnel problems recently. Who is missing?
Bob Bryar (drums) is missing. Frank (Iero, guitar) is back. He went through some personal things at home, had a family emergency, so we lost him for four shows. Bob tried to come out, but his wrists hurt too bad. He flew all the way from LA from home. We met up at the airport before coming over here, and said, "I'm gonna go home and go to the doctor again". So we lost Bob. But Tucker, from our friends' band Thursday, is coming out.
You joined Linkin Park on the Projekt Revolution tour. Chester from Linkin Park says he sees a lot of similarities between his band and yours, particularly in the way people are finally coming to realize My Chem are the real deal.
That's an interesting thing to point out, because when a band comes out--especially a band that has a large cultural impact, especially youth culture, wise, people assume it's some weird new kind of niche music. But in actuality, kids have consistently throughout the history of music liked rock and roll, and that's ultimately what it is. It takes a few years once a certain band has been out and that impact for older fans to realize, "Hey, this is really no different from the bands I liked. It has different influences, it looks and sounds different, but it's rock and roll". There's almost like a hazing period.
Did you go into your shell at first playing to Linkin Park fans?
If anything it made us push harder, see how far we could really take 'em, especially with the notions of sexuality. We're like, "Cool, they like us, now let's see if we push these sexual boundaries a little more how they're gonna react". There was an extremely macho vibe in that crowd, and we were practically the biggest cupcakes on that tour, but they seemed to love it. I think they just needed a little razzle dazzle in their lives.
Why are you so big on pushing boundaries of sexuality? You're a married man now.
Well, that's more of a recent thing (laughs). My wife totally backs the way I am on stage, that's one of the amazing things about her. I have 120 per cent respect for her when I'm on stage, so there are definitely certain things I would never do. But she knows my sexuality, and I know mine, so there's no reason not to push those boundaries. It's with more noble intention--it's to make certain people realize just because somebody is a performer or slightly effeminate,--even that guy at work or that kid at school--there's no reason to shove them around. So much testosterone has been in rock for so long--that's why I'm so interested in pushing it. All it boils down to is treating women like second-class citizens, calling people faggots, being borderline racist. A lot of things are ingrained in the stupidest rock 'n' roll we completely oppose. So one way we can push it through our sexuality.
Your marriage to Lyn-Z was a bit of a shock. When you spoke to Hit in July, you had just broken off an engagement to another girl. Come September, you were married
I know! It's one of those situations where you don't know how your life is gonna go, and the minute you actually stop looking for something is when you find it. When I met my wife I was at a point where I was completely OK with being alone for a very long time, free of lousy people. I was very content to spend time with my friends, to work on music, to work on my comics. I was about to pack everything up and move to Portland Oregon. And literally out of nowhere someone who I'd met four years ago when the band was a baby band, opening for her band, comes back into my life. We just picked up where we left off. It's always when you're not looking for it--I was totally fine, and then I get hit over the head! It was like getting hit by a truck.
Does marriage mean you're actually able to make a home now?
Completely. I turned basically into a functioning grown up overnight. I came off tour and started to set up a life. I'm very excited about that --I actually have a life now when I go home, and it's an amazing life. I love that I have a best friend I can share it with, who I can work with and hang out with.
You spent last December in a hotel working on your comic book. It sounds as though you might have a real Christmas this year.
Yeah, I holed up in a hotel. I flew home for New Year's ... God, I don't ever remember where I was. I definitely wasn't doing anything Christmas like.
Hello Mayo,
So is 3201 comments your record then?
Cheers to Anon for posting the interview. Thankfully it does seem like the moronic days of the PR tour are over - however much I love the music, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed when the man was covered in Marks of Love & Sharpie.
I would, however, hypothesize that this particular comment: "I was at a point where I was completely OK with being alone for a very long time", is b*ll*cks!
Love,
Kass xx
