Aims1991's Journals

Geez - get off my Buzznet!

Okay not just any one! You little people of no lives.

Yes you! You know who you are!

OK, so we used to be friends and now you think that you can still keep tabs on me? GET OVER IT!

I apologise, little girls, that my page isn't "MCR enough" but lets be honest - I'm taking my A LEVELS! I have a life and it no longer revolves around the colour of Gerard Way's pubes this week. By the way, everything gets back to me at some point so la de da!

And you, other one (aka Original No-Lifer Saddo)... You too can get off my page as well. I don't care about what you think of me anymore and I don't think what I write has anything to do with you. I know I certainly don't try and find your Myspace or Facebook or Match.com profiles and I don't want to. You know why? Because I DON'T FRIGGING CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LITTLE MIRAGE OF AN EXISTENCE.

I ain't changing my profile to private cos I don't want to and you can't change my mind. On anything.

So turn off the computer (which really isn't the window into my life) and get on with your GCSEs/A levels.

FUCK YOOOOOUU!

My gay-dar officially sucks!

Matthew Mitcham is gay!

For one day I actually liked a blonde guy and then he turned out to be gay!!!

I knew he was too nice to be a real straight man. But I thought that it was just that he was Australian.

Ahh, well. He's still very lovely. I ain't homophobic. Hell no. And he beat the Chinese. Nice.

Damn it! Back to Milo Ventimiglia now then.

Comic books!!!

Yeah. That's all I gotta say on the matter.

Bitches.

As if I couldn't love them anymore...

My Chemical Romance are going to cover 'Desolation Row' by Bob Dylan for the soundtrack of the 'Watchmen' film! Whoop!

I love Bob Dylan. He's a legend. I adore MCR. I am EXCITED!

So, they were apparently considering covering 'All Along The Watchtower' but decided not to because it would be both too obvious and too difficult to top considering the previous cover. (No kidding, I saw Dylan live; he played that song and it was as if he was covering Hendrix. It was totally cool. He does rule.)

So "Desolation Row'. Do they know it's ten minutes long??? Ahh well, they covered it onstage right and shortened it... They'll do it and it will be amazing!

One thing: who will play harmonica??? Gerard!? LOL!

And the best thing is... The Guardian's website said that if MCR were covering Dylan, the least he could do in return would be to do a cover of 'Helena'!

Come on Bob - give it a thought!

I love my mum. That crazy lady...

Some of my mother's classic one liners.

On that fact that MFI do not deliver the furniture they sell:

'People that buy things from MFI are masochists.'

On Gerard Way:

Me: 'Don't you think he's kinda cute?' Mum: 'No' Me: 'Why?' Mum: 'Amy, he's a dickhead.' Me: 'But sometimes he snorts when he laughs...' Mum: 'Yeah, that's cute.'

'You know they locked him in that basement.'

When Wikipedia reported Gerard Way's death in a car accident:

'I bet Mikey wrote it.'

On Sarah Jessica Parker having her mole removed:

Me: 'Sarah Jessica Parker's had a mole removed.' Mum: 'You sure it's not that a mole has had a Sarah Jessica Parker removed?'

On New Jersey voting:

'Can you vote in prison?'

That's the few quotes I'm gonna post but I just want to mention that the woman is quite clearly a closet MCR fan. This is because she once did an amazing impression of the Breakfast Monkey and can sing Bob Bryar's Solo Project. Often.

I need to bitch about something...

Right, this weekend I was flicking through a few British broadsheet newspapers and I was struck by a few things that I feel I need to write about. This isn't going to be interesting but I need to document it for my own peace of mind.

1) Some guy called Max Mosley has sued a British tabloid newspaper, The News Of The World (oh yes, that newspaper with such high standards of journalism!) for an article they wrote in which they said that he participated in Nazi-themed S&M orgies with prostitutes. And then he blamed the newspaper for the breakdown of his marriage. Now I don't know a lot of things (and Mr. Mosley can sue me if he likes for what I am about to write but I have no money and I don't care. I don't think he'll find out anyway. He's not really down with the kids.) but one thing I do know is that if you are hiring prostitutes, it might be that that would bring about the end of your marriage and not the fact that you were found out. If he had never have hired them and engaged in, let's face it (despite the film 'The Night Porter') a still very much taboo act, there would never have been anything for these people to write about. And then taking them into court about the issue and having the facts mulled over again can do no good at all. Did he not see this? I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. But why were these people that wrote the article surprised (or the jury)? This man is the son of a man (Oswald Mosley) who tried to bring the Third Reich to England during the rise of Hitler in the 1930s. I think he put an end to his unwise love of Fascism when England went to war against the Nazis - anyway, it never caught on here. Probably too lazy to keep our arms in the air for to long. I don't know... And his mother and his aunt actually spent a lot of time with Hitler himself. His aunt, Unity Mitford was obsessed with Nazism to the extent that when he sent her home from Germany because of the outbreak of war, she was so upset that she shot herself in the head, survived (WTF??? but true!) and then told some people in England that she stayed with (such good people to take in a mad Nazi sympathiser with a bullet lodged in her skull) that she was carrying the child of the Fuhrer herself. And Mr. Mosley is not connected to Nazism in any way. What crap!

2) Somebody has been going through Franz Kafka's bookshelves and has shockingly found some porn. Kafka was this loner guy that lived with his mother practically all his life and never left his room. Of course, the fact that he wrote a book or two during his solitude in his bedroom probably didn't lead his parents to suspect anything but what else did they think he was doing??? And people in the literary world are apparently shocked by the fact that he had porn...

3) Our Prime Minister is a man who was not elected in a democratic way but got the seat due to an agreement he made while having lunch with the former P.M. in an oyster bar (oysters? Two men? Homo-erotic subtext?) fifteen years ago, he has cocked up his job already after a year (the country is facing a recession) and it is his holiday clothes that make people think about what this man is like and that he is lacking in some way! But then, you look around and you think, 'Well, who else can do it?' cos they are all idiotic twats. Apart from maybe David Cameron. He has nice hair.

4) The government has made a name for me. Well not me alone. Young people like me but I am included. I am a NEET. This stands for Not in Education, Employment or Training. They probably think that the likes of youth like me are, if female, pregnant and binge-drinking, or, if male, knife-weilding maniacs. They are but that's another thing altogether. Well, for your information, I am in education but I think that I am allowed two and a half months off (considering I'll never get the chance again until I'm waiting to die) because I am FUCKING EXHAUSTED DUE TO THE MOUNT OF UNNECCESSARY WORK THAT I WAS MADE TO DO! Normal people doing their exams do eight subjects. Eight. Eight? I would have loved eight! Eight would have been easy - a walk in the park, if you will. Me? I did eleven. Only a difference of three, right? Not so. Those three subjects are the difference between an afternoon eating ice-cream and trying to remember your German speaking exam to the point that you get a migraine, overdose on painkillers, miss your exam and spend the rest of your day in a metaphorical pit of self-loathing and despair. All because some Deputy Head said 'Why don't you do both? You're smart!' Well that arsehole moved onto another school before I stated my studies in these subjects and didn't get to see the treat of my hair thinning and my skin gaining more spots than Britney Spears on her junk-food diet. And these people have te nerve to call me a NEET? Well, I am neat. I'm very neat. And they can fuck off!

Right, I feel better now. Sorry about that.

Men suck... especially if they drive lorries.

I'm meant to be getting ready to go out but I just thought I'd leave this little tale.

I was walking to the bus stop along a main road that appears to only be used by buses and single male drivers, half of which driving lorries.

Now, I don't know what it is about me (I'm not jaw-droppingly hot or anything) but this about the tenth time I've been by myself and some A-hole has driven past me and beeped their horn at me.

I may consider this some sort of weird compliment if it was from say, a young emo who had recently passed his driving test, but the fact that they are discusting old perverts that spent far too much time alone in those little cabins of their's, it creeps me out. Majorly.

Thankfully, I know how to respond to blokes that haven't spoken to women apart from their mothers so I turned round and gave him the finger. Sure, he probably didn't see but I felt I gained the upper hand in showing other drivers that I shall not be humiliated but such barrrrrstards.

Anyway, felt like a bitch about that. Any of you girls had it happen to you?

OMG, the unthinkable has happened.

As of yesterday at 2.50pm I officially finished my last exam. That's right. I am FREE!

Yes, I am. I don't have to step foot back in that school for at least 3 months. And I may have failed all my exams and they won't let me back in anyway but... I'm FREE!!!

For the next few months I can enjoy the following things:

Watching the full fortnight of Wimbledon in comfort.
Going for picnics! (Also known as eating flies.)
Drawing pretty pictures of My Chem.
Writing copious amounts of crappy fanfiction.
Learn bass (I keep saying it and yet I have a horrible feeling it isn't going to happen.)
Power 4 sleepovers (why didn't I put that at the top, silly girl)
NOT getting a job. That's right. They can't make me!
Read many many books!

And possibly a whole lot of other things.

But one thing I definitely don't have to do is GO TO SCHOOL!

And it is going to rule!

SAY ANYTHING!

Okay, I love them. Have done since last April. And last Saturday I finally got to see them live. And trust me, when they come back to England, I'm gonna be there! They totally 100% rule.

I mean, sure My Chem rule in their hard-rock grrr-ness and MSI have their kick-ass choruses but Max Bemis' lyrics are so good at telling stories. They just strike a chord with me, I guess.

I'm sounding like a goon but hear me out. Here's some examples:

Alive With The Glory Of Love - Based on the real story of Max's grandparents, its about two people in love in a concentration camp during the Second World War.

The Church Channel - A guy goes insane again and ends up in an institute where he falls in love with a girl, depicted by Hayley Williams.

Slumming It With Johnny - A guy goes on a road-trip with his mate Johnny and documents what he sees and then compares it to what it's like when he returns home.

The Ocean Liner Incident - A guy meets a girl on an ocean liner and has manic sex with her whilst they remain to be strangers to one another.

You see? Awesome. What's not to love?

More Live Bands To Review

Me Vs. The Heroes (Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds University, 25th May 2008) - Saw the last few songs of their set and figured they were okay. They just seemed like any other English band. I can be a bit of a snob though. However, I saw a guy I knew moshing to them so they must be awesome or something. I ain't sure.

Valencia (Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds University, 25th May 2008) - Whoa, I love this band now. Managed to get to see the vast majority of their set and was just hit by how good they are. Also managed to get their album from the merch stand for seven quid instead of ten so that was a result. The song, 'The Space Between' is amazing and everyone should check them out. I do love them.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds University, 25th May 2008) - I only know a few songs by them (and they are the obvious ones too) but I was happy to be seeing them. The place was packed for their set and I'm sure I would have enjoyed it did I not have a couple making out infront of me and the guy's elbow in my face all the way through the set. 'Face Down' was a crowd-pleaser despite how much the lead singer of the band made it obvious to us that he did not want to play it.

youmeatsix (Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds University, 25th May 2008) - I really do quite like youmeatsix. They're a good band. The crowd was really ruckus at this point and I am glad I got a good seat on a window ledge to watch them. However, I only embarrassed myself when Slam Dunk was over by nearly tripping the entire band up by being retarded and according to my mates, they gave me proper dirty looks. Personally, I don't give a shit. They won't remember and they probably won't give me a chance to remind me. Otherwise, a great set by a great band that I was excited to see.

Cute Is What We Aim For (Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds University, 25th May 2008) - I was majorly excited about seeing CIWWAF. I have their album and nearly all of it was in my Top 25 Most Played for six months after buying it. They were the one band that I was truly excited about seeing. However, the lead singer Shaant (who I personally believe is the embodiment of the band) was 3000 miles away due to a problem with his passport. So instead the new bassist (is that their third???) Dave stepped in. He did a good job all things considered (no Shaant, new songs) but it wasn't what I had been wanting to see. Things only truly picked up when Josh from youmeatsix (the one I tripped up...) stepped in as vocals on the song 'Doctor'. Anyway, every cloud and that, because after their set, me and my best friend sat in the window of the Union bar and Jeff Czum walked past so we waved at him and he gave us the peace sign. What a nice young man.

The Outline (Manchester Academy 3, 7th June 2008) - I knew two songs by them at the time (last night!), 'Shotgun' and the one with the weird video. Anyway, they blew me away and even more so when I went to buy merch and the lead singer was fresh from the stage seeing his own merch for made up prices. I bought their album and later got it signed by the hilarious drummer and very nice guitarist. The album's really good and I hope to see them again sometime.

Twin Atlantic (Manchester Academy 3, 7th June 2008) - The only song I actually knew by them was their cover of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' (which, by the way, is awesome). However, they were great. They didn't get me quite like The Outline did but they did a great set and I immediately went to buy their EP. It was there that I met the very nice lead singer, Sam. He signed the album with a personal message and even listened to my mini review of my home town (I really shouldn't be allowed to meet people from bands, at all). Since listening the four tracks on the EP today, they have truly grown on me and they are a band that I hope to see get bigger in time.

Say Anything (Manchester Academy 3, 7th June 2008) - OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!! I was so fucking excited. I have 99 songs by them on my iPod, I ordered both of their real albums from America, I have been wanting to see them since last April. Fourteen months later and with only five minutes before they came onstage, I was literally bouncing off the walls. I don't know how my friends put up with me. They opened with 'Alive With The Glory Of Love' and ended with 'Admit It'. It was so amazing. It was a gig that literally flew by. Every minute felt like a second. I nearly cried when it finished. And fuck it. i'm gonna go see them again. I don't care if no-one will come with me. Oh my God, it was so effing good! They played 'Baby Girl, I'm A Blur', 'The Church Channel', 'Skinny Mean Man' and 'Shiksa (Girlfriend)' from the new album and older songs such as 'The Writhing South', 'Belt', 'Woe' and 'Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too' from their previous album. Max joked often ("So you know the new album? You illegally downloaded it? You belong in jail. No, I'm joking. If that was true, I'd be a fucking prison bitch by now.") I FUCKING LOVE IT! Come back soon please, Maxim.
