An Ode to Fall Out Boy

Okay, I've noticed lots of my posts have been revolving around My Chemical Romance lately. I've mentioned Evanescence here and there, but there is an important band that I've failed to acknowledge on my blog: Fall Out Boy. Here are my three favorite bands (in order of favoritism):

1) My Chemical Romance (Gasp! How ever did you know?)
2) Evanescence
3) Fall Out Boy

And so, in my Ode to Fall Out Boy, I have posted a bunch of my favorite videos by FOB.

Tear. I didn't see him today! Oh, um, I should probably inform you who "he" is. Well, everyday, at around 8:55, this really cute guy always walks up the block in the opposite direction as me as I head to school. He has light-brown hair, blue eyes and braces and he's pretty tall. Or just pretty without the"tall". Either way :) Too bad he's older than me (and gay, I think). So anyway, no matter how sucky my morning has been, he always cheers me up. Also, since he's walking in the opposite direction as me, I get a good, long look at his face before he passes me! :p

But I didn't see him today. :(


**************************

On a lighter note, I was reading a book called Birdland the other day and in it this kid's teacher read a book to the class. The author was saying how you should memorize things/people you see/hear/smell everyday. That way, " if anyone ever says to you, 'What will you always remember about this place?' you will know just exactly which story it is that you would tell them." So, here is my list.

• The sound of a car alarm


• The sound of a fire truck


• The sound of the kid riding his skateboard outside my window when I get home from school


• The tall, black-haired lady (who kinda looks like a biker) and her little girl who is always on the bus on my way to school


• The funny dad and his two girls on the bus


• The cute gay guy who I see when I walk down the block to my school


• The old man and his french bulldog I see in the park


• The guy who owns Bacon, the Frenchie, and how Bacon is in love with my dog


• Fig, the dog, and her owner and how I loved to try and get the ball from her so I could throw it


• At night, the dog who has abandonment issues and howls like torture victim when he's tied up while his owner shops in the grocery store downstairs


• The way the streets glisten at night under the street lights


• The owner of Crepes on Columbus


• The really nice, funny waiter at Crepes on Columbus


• The guy who works at Giovanni's pizza shop up the block


• The two girls who eat at Zanny's every morning


• Their teacher Mr.______ who comes in to buy a bagel after the girls get there and the taller of the girls always sucks up to him


• Richie and his sister who live in my mom's building and I've known since I was little


• The anonymous black girl who lives in my dad's building and always says hi to me


• Our neighbor, Maddy, and her boyfriend (dad's house)


• The rats that live on my dad's block


• The Indian lady and her son I see every morning


• Our neighbors Tom, his boyfriend and their cute dog (mom's house)


• The Asian couple that live across from us with their Yorkie and purple-eared poodle


• The sound of a piano coming from the apartment next to my mom's apt. (I think it's Tom playing)


• The smell of incense in the hallway at my mom's apartment


• The sound of Maddy and her boyfriend talking (the walls in my dad's building are thin)

I know that's a lot of things to remember, but I've lived in this neighborhood all my life! So, enjoy my treacherously long list of things that have no significant meaning to you.

30 Days!

April 9th. A Wednesday, Gerard's birthday, and... 30 days until my MCR concert!!! I know it's obsessive, but who cares?! Woo hoo!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERARD!!!

COME ONE, COME ALL TO THIS [LOVELY] AFFAIR!!!! IT'S GERARD WAY'S BIRTHDAY!! HE IS NOW OFFICIALLY 31!!! WOO HOO!!! And to celebrate 31 one years of this amazing man's exsistence, here are a bunch of random pictures!!!

I'm Not A Loser!

I am proud to announce that more than one person now reads my blog! Welcome Smithers! Now TWO people read my blog! I'm officially not a loser! :p

Movies, Operas and Songs, Oh my!

Hi people! I'm happy to announce that I officially have every MCR song on my iPod! Of course only true MCR fans can appreciate this accomplishment, but still, it's something! I'm actually listening to them right now. Let's see... I'm listening to Demolition Lovers. Great song.

Today my friends from church and I went to see Horton Hears A Who. Oh my gosh. That movie was SO funny! My friend Caitlyn and I were dying laughing. Carrie hardly laughed until the very end. Then she burst out laughing! It was hilarious, she was so loud! She said she didn't want to be kicked out so she held it till the end of the movie (she's been kicked out of a movie theater 3 times for being loud). My 2 favorite characters were Katy and JoJo. JoJo was the mayor of Whoville's only son. He never talked but he was really smart. He was the typical teenage kid who was disinterested in everything, especially in what his dad had to say. Katy (correct me if I spelled her name wrong) was one of the kids Horton hung out with. She was so weird! It was hilarious! At one point in the movie, after Horton told the kids about Whoville, all the kids picked flowers and pretended to have worlds on them. This is so funny:

Katy: "In my world every one is a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies."

Horton: "That's beautiful Katy."

Katy: "Aaah...." (scoots off into a bush on her butt)

Seriously! That's what happened! It was sooo funny!

This is Katy:

So anyway, life has been going pretty slowly. I went to see Candide at the City Opera on Friday. It was so funny! It's about a girl (Cunagonde) and a guy (Candide) who fall in love and then get separated and go through a bunch of unfortunate events, but finally get together again. It's really funny, I suggest you go see it.

Sorry, but I'm really out of ideas today. Talk to you when my brain is more awake!

Finally! Back online!

Hello! Oh, I'm so happy to be back online! I haven't been on since Monday! Lol, but really not only have I not checked my blog, but been deprived of MCR, chatting, my e-mail... the list goes on. But now I'm back and I'm happy! Unfortunately, I got a 62% on my math project. that is officially the worst grade i have EVER gotten on a project. It used to be that my absolute worst was 80. I'm so ashamed. Of all classes! I do the best in math, it's one of my favorite classes! Sigh. *hangs head in shame* On a brighter note, my dad didn't freak out as much as I thought he would. I still didn't tell my mom though. That will be horrific. I'll let my dad do that mess.

Anyway, I was looking at what high schools I should go to and I've decided either Beacon or Bronx Science. I like Bronx Science because it's really diverse and has lots of great clubs, sports and courses. They don't discriminate anyone for gender, race religion, sexual orientation or culture. I also love Beacon because they've got a well-rounded education and my friend, Nola, really likes it there.

And on a less boring note, I am going to bite off of cowgirl4christ and post this 2-part video of Gerard. I am also assuming, since you are smart enough to read, you are also smart enough to figure out that part 1 is on top and part 2 is on the bottom. Gasp! Amazing!






I love that interview. Gerard is such a great person and can be really deep. It's great.

So what else is there to talk about? Life is going pretty well, Gerard's birthday is in 7 days! That's like the only thing I have to look forward to. My science teacher, Christine Ramos, is leaving because she's going to have her baby. I'm so sad that she's going, she's such a great teacher.

Well, I decided that if I've learned anything from Gerard it's to never take a day of your life for granted. So to end this post, I'm gonna make my list of things to do before I die.

1. See My Chemical Romance live
2. Go to Venice, Italy
3. See Evanescence live
4. Start my own band
5. If #4 crashes and burns, become a psychiatrist
