and these shadows keep on changing

Okay, as hybrid_xisha knows, I have gone mad. Actually insane people? Why you ask? Why?

Well, it all began a few weeks ago. I came to Virginia and xylodemon wrote bandom!fic about My Chemical Romance. Now I quite like the band and LA reawakened my long silenced goth!girl inside and this fic, coupled with a brutal picspam attack that featured not only pretty MCR boys, but pretty boys in make-up and tattoos and lovely hipbones. Those not in the know? I love all these things. It is a vice. :( Which made me plunge into bandom. I have been listening to all their tunes and looking at pictures and bewailing to hybrid_xisha the mockery I will no doubt be suffering after revealing all this.

I find out that MCR are playing in New York when I'm there.

...

I WANNA GO!

Am I mad? I'm mad, aren't I?

SPEAKING OF MADNESS RELATED THINGS! waxrose YOU ARE A BAD INFLUENCE ON ME!

How so? Well!

Letters to Iwo Jima came out in 2006 as did 3:10 to Yuma. Now! I am not dying about Clint Eastwood. I like him - I do! But I don't go out of my way to see his movies. Now - part of me was REALLY SPECIAL and thought these two movies were linked and you had to see one to understand the other, which, is complete bollocks! IS TRAGIC THAT I THOUGHT THIS. Yet there is a light in this tale.

Erica, my love, my light, got me into the WONDER that is Arashi and I have been flailing for about 3 weeks now due to it. And as I started reading up on them, I realised I vaguely knew about MatsuJun previous as two girls on my Japanese course adore Hana Yori Dango and we had a brief discussion about it in Japan. Erica also mentioned Nino being in a Hollywood movie. '\o/', thinks I, 'I will have to hunt this movie down!'

Only to discover it is Letters to Iwo Jima WHICH AMAZED ME BY BEING ON TV TONIGHT.

So I watched it because Nino was in it and I loved it. LOVED IT.

There is one particular shot that made my heart clench and the lighting was amazing and the look on Saito's face - confusion and numbness and shock and utterly lost - that I want. Badly.

Utter bandom!flail on my part.

And now, thanks to MOST OF YOU LOT ON MY F!LIST, I have what I believe to be a massive chunk of my student loan plotted out in expenditures - or, as I call it, my utter acceptance of commodity fetishism.

Now! In matters not related to fandom!flail but rather, another type of flail altogether - PARTY AT THE therenodaemis/isthatjamie COMPOUND TOMORROW - WOO HOO!

THUS! IN CONCLUSION!

Woo! I like knowing I'm not mad!...Well, madder. I don't have The Black Parade, just downloaded Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. Although hybrid_xisha has told me it's good!

I had heard he wrote a comic series! He also writes the introduction notes on the Neil Gaiman inspired CD Where's Neil When You Need Him talking about how Gaiman inspired him and how he picked up Sandman in high school like I did which definitely warmed me up to him!

Oooh. You need to get The Black Parade. I actually like that album more than Revenge. It tells a story of a man who is dying of cancer and the whole album is reflections of his life and views before he dies. Incredible album. I can make you a copy while you are here if you like.
