Have you heard the news that you're dead?

I'm listening to the forty minute thingy where MCR (minus Bob) talk about The Black Parade song by song, and I am just completely chin-in-hands, hearts in my eyes, head over heels in love with their genius. Good god.

ALSO, FRANK CALLED GERARD "GEE". TWICE. IT'S CANON BITCHES \o/

I watched all the stuff that aired on Fuse yesterday, and OH. PANIC CHILDREN. I ADORE YOU SO. My favorite part of the making of NITA is Jon talking about Spencer's blue room with a silly British accent. And Ryan thoroughly enjoying being pampered in the hair and makeup trailer. They are all just so darling <3 Then the thingy about Pretty Odd is just marvelous. The cabin footage! I hope there's more where that came from on the DVD, because wow does some of it look cracked out. I love Jon and Spencer up on the roof, obviously, and Bden and Ryro wearing the same glasses, and Bden doing Folkin' Around (not my favorite song, but oh he looks good doing it), and Spencer being a bit of a wildman, and Ryan burning his guitar in a fit of rockstar pique, then being all shamefaced about it later, and baaaasically everything <333333

I hope you all had a very nice Easter. I spent it being kinda lazy, then going out for Chinese food with the daddy and sisterthing, then hitting up the sci fi room for some Guitar Hero (I found out you can buy The Used's Pretty Handsome Awkward for Guitar Hero III but didn't have the credits, WOE!) with my sister, then a crepe place for a nutella-and-pecan crepe for dessert. A nice, chilled out day, with absolutely no regard for the holiday except eating a nummy Cadbury egg. Whoops? :) I also exchanged texts with Niall for hours, that was so much fun. I miss all my girls and boys!

Haha, I lurk! It's the only thing one can do, on IJ.

I haven't seen the booklet! What's TIP

Aw, hee, it's cool that you'd find my journal lurkworthy :D

TIP = The Immortality Project, but it's down right now and has been for a while. I don't know if/when it will be up (I hope it will! Because it has hundreds of videos and songs and scans uploaded and it is a fantastic resource) but I didn't save the scans (there's 64 pages!) so unfortunatelly I don't know where to point you :( But that is something you should maybe try to find, because all of them (particularly Gerard, Frank, and Ray) go into a lot of detail about the process of writing the songs and what kind of meaning they each hold. It's fascinating. If TIP comes back up, I'll try to remember to give you a heads up.

Thanks! Please do.

Hi! I just thought to check The Immortality Project site today, and it's available again. So go to http://theimmortalityproject.com/frontpage.html, hover over Fansite, hover over Library, and click Limited Edition. That will give you scans of the whole booklet in which they all talk about the album, and Frank and Ray give a song-by-song discussion. Hope that helps you out!

Brilliant! I shall look at that... as soon as I get hi-speed again. (Dialup, woe.)
