Conscience Convened Calamity.

Devour me.
Pass me through your lips,
divine.
Chew me up and spit me out,
or swallow me
in time.

Take me.
Pull me in or toss me
aside.
Rejoice in my undying faith
while insinuating
my rhyme.

Shame me.
Judge me with your kind eye,
wise.
Give reason to my rambling
while presuming
my crime.

Reach me
Touch me with your words,
sublime.
Teach me a lesson and rise
or bear witness
my unwind.







p.s. if you continue to hammer the nail the point may find its way clear through or the fucking pounding will cause its head to bury itself too far into the wood to ever be pulled out.

Later, Lucy! Have fun!

Lucy - those are the best days ever. Whoever says you have to achieve something per day; utter tosh :)

Kapunua - I'm getting sexcited for you and it's so lovely that you are taking your god-daughter. I bet her face will be a picture.

Mustard, for some reason that line totally makes me think of Fim. Must be all her cock talk from the other day. :)

Bye Lucy. Have a great evening.

Have fun, Bean! I love those kinds of "do nothing but plant yourself" days sometimes. That's going to be me tonight after dinner. I will plant myself in front of the Wii and not move for a few hours except to contron the WiiMote.

Kapunua - I'm getting sexcited for you and it's so lovely that you are taking your god-daughter. I bet her face will be a picture
Thanks, GS! In fact, one of my favorite pics from last year is this one,, that's Jo-chan and I at the TBS concert at PR. (Lemme make an excuse for my hair: Jones Beach theater is, well, on the beach. The wind and salt were doing murder to my hair. As for the rest of the package, well, for that there is no excuse.)

Splash, I sing "chicken to ride," too. ^_^

That's a great pic, you compliment each other so well, physically as well as emotionally.

Do we dare ask?

Anonymous said...

GS, that is so sweet. Thank you. She's a lot like I was when I was that age only she has oodles more sense than I had, and she's a better writer, which is amazing.

I can never seem to say enough about either her or her beautiful brother; I love those kids more than god. (As you can see. ;D ) I'd never say it in front of them because they'd be mortified, but they are my beautiful babies no matter how old they get.

It's important to me for some reason for them to have a handful of really awesome memories because of things that I did. ^_^

Amyranth said...

Gnothi and Sdock, don't worry, I really DO mean my cat.

Hazel is a longer haired grey cat, and she's got mats like you wouldn't believe. I try to clip them out, but she keeps trying to bite the scissors.

-A also needs to get her bikini line waxed, but that's another story. ;)

Smoke said...

OMG, I've had the hiccups like twelve times today. WTF? Am I growing? Does this mean I'll be tall enough to get back in the pit by the next time MCR comes back around? Hmmmm....

X_X


So, for anyone that likes to read some awesome writing, and most of us here do, check out F.T. Willz on S//C.

Very cool.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. ^_^

gnothi seauton said...

I'd never say it in front of them because they'd be mortified, but they are my beautiful babies no matter how old they get.

Yet secretly they love it ;)

It is obvious that they hold a special place in your heart, treasure them whilst you can.

Amy - if you have trouble clipping her, how are you going to manage shaving her? Or will you take her to be groomed?

Hiya RW - the clothes show sounds fun, is it current clothing or historical pieces?

resurrected wreck said...

Hi, GS :)

The Toronto Clothing Show used to be mostly vintage clothes, but now it's a mix of new designers and vintage pieces. I've never been to it before, so I'm excited!

One of my university friends started a line of clothing with a friend of hers and they have a booth there this year.

resurrected wreck said...

Super Matt

I wonder if he also wears his undies on the outside?

It is, after all, the trademark of all great superheroes!

gnothi seauton said...

I've just had a quick scan throught the web site, they have some great pieces. I shall have to peruse at leisure another time.

Which one is your friend's stall?

resurrected wreck said...

Momiji.

They don't have a web page yet.

They don't have a web page yet.

That's a shame.
Well, have a fantastic time tomorrow, you'll be in your element!

I shall bid you a good night as I have a busy day tomorrow.

Good night All.

Hey Smoke, did Gerard cut his hair at the last show you were at?

-A

Smoke said...

RW!

That would be so cool. I wish I could go with you tomorrow. ^_^

resurrected wreck said...

I wish you could too, S&V! It would be a blast :)

Cut his hair, A?? Noooooo!! *likes long-haired Gee bestest*

Smoke said...

Cut his hair? I only got to see him up close for a split second (was too busy trying to shove 300 teenagers off of me so I could focus on Frank) and it still looked pretty shaggy to me.

Has he cut his hair?

Anonymous said...

That sounds really neat, RW.

Amyranth said...

Someone said at the Sloss Furnace show that he looked like he missed his hair because he was headbanging like crazy all night.

It was from a review on LJ.

Smoke said...

It still looked pretty long to me but I was being thrown around like a ragdoll.

Mikey was sure swinging his hair around. ^_^ I like happy Mikey.

I stay out of the pit, but I keep the elbows out. So long as I have my elbows, I'm fine.

resurrected wreck said...

I like a nice comfortable seat with a good view of the stage. Away from all the spastic teens & tall people blocking my view.

Smoke said...

At one point, I got turned sideways. So my back was to the bunch that was pushing and shoving and I was facing Sdock. Then I had my arms like halfway up because I was holding my phone and I got wedged in.

I couldn't friggin' raise or drop my arms! It was scary.

Amyranth said...

RW, we managed to get seats for a RA concert here, and it was worse than the pit.

People on the seats sometimes have no consideration for other people in the seats.

-A

resurrected wreck said...

No wonder so many people get carried out, S&V!

I wonder if anyone has ever died in the pit?

resurrected wreck said...

I rarely have problems in the seats, A.

Um... who's RA?

Smoke said...

Me, too, RW. It's like, I know I'm not 'too old' for the pit but I like to see the show. All of it.

That's why the first MCR show I saw was awesome. We had the best seats.

Our Projekt Rev seats were pretty good, too. I'll never forget seeing Adam swing his microphone for the first time. ^_^

resurrected wreck said...

I had much better seats for PR than I'd originally thought when I bought them, S&V.

Er... I missed TBS set, though.

Smoke said...

OMG, I didn't tell you all about the little boy that kept tapping me on my shoulder, did I? Oh! I wanted to punch him. He was probably about fifteen or so and was making out with his girlfriend the whole time. Every few minutes he'd tap me on my shoulder and then run. WTF?

I was like, DAMN! I could be your freakin' mama you squirt!

sdock10 said...

And I totally got my pony tail yanked!!!

Smoke said...

Sure did!

resurrected wreck said...

Geez, S&V, was this in the pit?? Didn't he have anything better to do like, say, watch a concert??

Reminds me of the kids who go to movies only to soend the whole time taking on their cell phones or walking in and out of the theatre. Why bother?

sdock10 said...

Our Proj Rev seats were so good and we stood up the whole time MCR was one and we got to see the licky lick and awwwh, I died a little bit that night.

sdock10 said...

It's like they smelled fresh blood in the pit and they started circling us like vultures.

Oh we got a couple of pit virgins here...let's get em!!

resurrected wreck said...

I swear to god I would have lost it on both that pokey kid and the ponytail yanker. I got the feather in my band hat pulled by the people sitting behind me at the London show. I turned around and gave them a piece of my mind, but I think they were too drunk to really know what was going on.

resurrected wreck said...

You saw the licky lick???

Smoke said...

No, he wasn't in the pit. They were at the very back. It was crazy!

Yeah, Projekt Rev. Good times. ^_^

sdock10 said...

Um, yeah you know...THE LICKY LICK...Frank licked Gerard's face.

Good Times

It was an awesome show.

"Burn motherfucker, Burn!"

*Solly Smiles just thinking about the memories*

Smoke said...

The licky-lick.

It was awesome.

resurrected wreck said...

*bows down before the memory of the licky lick*

resurrected wreck said...

God, I miss the PR boy-love :/

sdock10 said...

I sure hope Entropy has a good time seeing Bert McCookies tonight.
I need my ass kicked to Atlanta and back again for missing them when they came to Georgia.

Damnit man!

resurrected wreck said...

Bert?

The Used are playing a show tonight??

Entropy is going to see them???

sdock10 said...

The licky lick wasn't as awesome as the anticpation of the licky lick....

What's he doing?
What's he gonna do?
Oh my goodness!
Is he gonna?
Oh my GAWHHHD!
OH MY FREAKING GAWWHDD!
*squeal*

sdock10 said...

RW,

Yeah, I think that's what Carrie said earlier. Uh huh, for sure.

resurrected wreck said...

I am very unhappy that there are no good shows coming to Toronto this summer :( at least none that I know of yet.

resurrected wreck said...

Didn't he do the rub-his-head-all-over-Gerard-like-a-cat thing before he went in for the lick?

Smoke said...

Yes he did. ^_^

resurrected wreck said...

Lovely! :)

resurrected wreck said...

They didn't do anything at the PR show I went to :(

Well, Frank tugged a bit at Gerard's pink panties, but that was it.

sdock10 said...

The Used came to Atlanta in November, I think??? And we just ASSumed they would come back around.


Damnit man!

I need me some Bert, some Adam, some Jack White, some Killers, some more Drive By. I need live music to survive!!!!!

resurrected wreck said...

I was so geared up for a summer of great shows, Solly. But... no one I want to see appears to be heading this way this year :(

sdock10 said...

Oh my goodness, don't say that. Don't think that. It's still early. There's still time for good shows.

If not, we are all going to meet up this summer. Want to?

We are going to ride roller coasters and drink smoothies and make pizzas and make googly faces and talk filthy.

Smoke said...

It's gonna be soooo much fun. ^_^

Smoke said...

Wait. We're gonna make pizzas? We can't just buy some?

O_O

resurrected wreck said...

There's no way anyone would ever get me on a roller coaster! My stomach would not be able to handle it.

resurrected wreck said...

I could make you all my world-famous pizza :)

"Like a record." Doesn't that make ya feel a little older than you want?

Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand sceptic hands
Wont keep us from the things we plan
Unless were clinging to the things we prize

And do you feel scared? I do!
But I wont stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better

Wow wow wow oh, wow wow wow oh oh oh oh

Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret
It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it

Do you guys remember how exciting it used to be when your favorite song came on MTV? you couldn't just google them or look them up on youtube, you had to effing wait! And then when VCRs came along you'd turn on the TV and see like the last half of it, and you'd tape just the last half?

I used to have about 30 VHS tapes of the ends of all my favorite videos.

Remember Friday Night Videos? That was for people who didn't have MTV and Smoke and I would get up the next morning all excited hoping they would be played some Bon Jovi or Cinderella.

resurrected wreck said...

Doc-Doc?

You know she lives for that. She would let us pick any flower we wanted out of that yard.

Man, Friday Night Videos! Oh my god, I remember the opening to that.

The first video I ever saw on that was "Drive" by The Cars.

Do you guys remember taping songs off the radio? Except if you didn't have a radio / cassette recorder all in one you'd have to hold your cassette recorder actually up to the radio? Then you'd get all these background sounds going on, like the dog barking and your Mom calling you and stuff? I think Margaret Cho said something about that once; it's so true.

Did anyone else buy 45s? I used to buy three or four of them every week. My favorite band for a while was The Pointer Sisters. I desperately idolized June Pointer. I wanted to be her. I wanted to grow up to look and sound and dance and dress just like her.

sdock10 said...

Oh my GOD, SMoke. I thought you were answering me. I didnt realize we posted that like at the same time.

Taping off of the radio. OMG. This is making me feel so old but it's so much fun!

Yes to taping off the radio & buying 45s, K!

sdock10 said...

Jules,

Yes! Yes! Yes! You have made me laugh and smile thinking about taping songs off the radio and my 45 collection. I still have all that stuff somewheres I am sure of it.

Along with all those vhs tapes of Friday Night Videos.

resurrected wreck said...

Ooops! Just looked it up on Wiki. Seems Billie Jean was Friday Night Video's first vid.

Smoke said...

Amy,

We never get any bands anywhere close to here. Ever. We have to drive at least 3 to 4 hours regardless. Which sucks.

sdock10 said...

The first 45 I ever bought was Pat Benatar's Hit Me With Your Best Shot.


Niiiiiiiice.

First album was either...Joan Jett or Blondie.

resurrected wreck said...

Along with all those vhs tapes of Friday Night Videos.

YES!!

Mine were all on Beta.

resurrected wreck said...

My first album was ELO's Discovery.

First 45 was... can't remember. I think Maniac off the Flashdance soundtrack.

Amyranth said...

Wow, I'm a lot younger than I thought.

I have a tape collection that gradually became CD's, and now is almost completely MP3.

Oh, I'll go, Amy. No doubt. I drove four hours to Tampa to Projekt Rev and stayed all day and left that night about ten and drove back four hours.

You know, I remember taking road trips with my family, and my cousin and I would have out walkmen and all our tapes. Now of course we couldn't bring all of them, so we'd spend the entire night before trying to decide which ones we could leave at home for a week. We'd end up with boxes and boxes of tapes. My Dad would get so frustrated with us because we'd be taking up too much room.

sdock10 said...

My favorite Pat Benatar song was "Invincible".

Legend of Billie Jean anyone???

Oh and Jules, remember how the Walkman would get all draggy when the batteries went to running low???

Oh man, yeah that's true! That was way much more fun than the iPod, which just cuts off when the battery dies (and leaves you singing mid-word feeling like an idiot.) At least the walkman gave you a heads-up.

I had a walkman that went all funky once, and it would play tapes backwards. This was gold because then we would sit around for hours and look for BACKWARDS MESSAGES in all the songs. It's "backmasking" these days but back then it was BACKWARDS MESSAGES and bands got sued over them.

Amy,

Oh my, we were totally rocking the "Black Velvet" on the way home from Birmingham.

*wonders what happened to her*

That was a good cassette.

Fair is Fair!

So Jules, the burning question is, did you hear any messages? Were they all evil and satanic telling you to get the gun and do it do it? Oh wait, that's subliminal messages.

Damnit man.

Somewhere out there, exists a video of my cousin and I singing Black Velvet into studio microphones at the top of our lungs, and dancing around.

In Spandex.

Smoke said...

I remember my Sophie B. Hawkins tape.

Muwahaha.

sdock10 said...

SMOKE, FTW!

Not really fair though seeing as how we saw the same movies as kids.

Our video store had a very limited selection.

Oh remember how you used to have to wait a week to rent the newest movies?

Or was that only here?

She's got a new album coming out this year actually, though I don't expect it till do very well. She's still riding on her Black Velvet wave rather than recording and performing anything new that's any good.

Oh man, we heard backwards messages in everything after that. i remember one night we sat down and wrote them all down. We swore that we heard Phil Lewis from LA Guns talking about being his brother's keeper. Or, alternately, about doing sheep.

You're a brave, brave woman to admit this, K.

sdock10 said...

Damnnnnnn! I wish I was your lover!

*wonders what happened to her as well*

resurrected wreck said...

Isn't she related to Steve Earle?

sdock10 said...

Phil Lewis?

That's hot, Jules.

I had that tape too. Niiiiice.

Smoke said...

Solly looooves Phil Lewis. O_o

Hey, talking about renting movies, remember actually renting the VCR?

Hahaha!

sdock10 said...

Would Steve Earle admit that?

resurrected wreck said...

I remember renting VCRs! And, damn, they were big and heavy back then!

Mayo, are you picturing all of your Lovelies as teens and pre-teens, dancing around their bedrooms to skipping records, playing air guitar, and singing their hearts out into their pencil cases after school? ^_^

resurrected wreck said...

I couldn't tell ya, Solly.

*goes to Google Sophie B. Hawkins and Steve Earle*

resurrected wreck said...

*comes back from Googling*

Steve Earle is her brother, Solly.

Smoke, Alannah is Canadian, I thought Pat Benatar was too!

And apparently Alannah has had tons of hits, a bunch of plantinum albums, and she's touring in support of her latest one.

Steve Earle has been married seven times, twice to the same woman (!).

RW, I was a huge fan of Spandex, long after it was even socially acceptable to be a huge fan of Spandex. It was comfy. I actually wore it to college. I had a pair of pink Spandex pants in fact. Now bear in mind I was also sort of gothy at the time, and I wore a lot of corsets and stuff too, and I had a cape from Moresca that I got at the RenFest.

So I show up to theater one night for rehearsal in pink spandex pants, a long blouse witha corset, the cape, and yellow rollerblades. One of the actors came up to me and said, "No offense, you're really nice. But you are the weirdest person I've ever seen."

The thing was, it had never occurred to me before then that it was weird. It was just how I dressed.

Man, I was so clueless.

resurrected wreck said...

I know not of these tons of Alannah Myles hits, A.

Smoke said...

Snap! Denny Hamlin just said Guns N'ROses was the best rock band ever but they were 'before his time'. O_O

Tony said Led Zeppelin.

Interesting.

resurrected wreck said...

Solly, new page coming up!!

sdock10 said...

RW,

Are you for real?

Damn, that's interesting.

Hit it, Solly!

Sophie B. Hawkins!

sdock10 said...

I ♥ YOU ALL!

resurrected wreck said...

Yay, Solly!!!!!

HOOTAH!

Mayo, now that we've all gone back to the 80's and told you about how we were as kids, why don't you tell us what your best 80's songs were? Are you in our age group maybe, that you have the same perspective on the 80's?

Amyranth said...

THANK GOD IT WASN'T ME THIS TIME!

Amyranth said...

RW, that's what it says on her Wiki page. Sounds like someone might be padding the old resume.
