[wav48k]

would anyone be interested in my gay fucking spreadsheet... it has a very large amount of sourced mcr pics arranged by date (work in progress, not very professional. but its fun) and also a section with like a hundred old interviews. did you know one time frank got interviewed by some random fucking tumblr user and they talked about donnie darko? now you will. theres finally enough stuff in there that i think its worth handing out for people who want to see :)

hey jess on a scale of 1 to emo kid how many MCR facts make up ur personality (asking for a friend)

Soph….

A solid 13 (emo kid) honestly. Here’s some that I can remember from the top of my head:

1. In the early days, Ray would get left at gas stations constantly. The rest of the band wouldn’t know until he called them to pick him up.

2. Their last ever show was performed at Asbury Park, NJ and the last song performed was Helena (obviously it’s was before the break-up).

3. Frank’s birthday is on Halloween and Mikey has unofficially coined the term (via Twitter) for Frank’s birthday to be Ieroween.

4. Many people know that Gerard created Umbrella Academy but don’t know that he’s also been apart of the newer Doom Patrol Issues.

5. Frank is the only member to still live in Jersey (he’s only an hour away from my aunt and uncle’s).

6. Frank and Mikey both dropped out of college to persue the band full time & Gerard and Ray both graduated from art and film school respectively.

7. In one interview Frank mentioned that he wore a blink-182 shirt to his college orientation.

8. Mikey came up with the band name along with another one called the new London fire.

9. Gerard was on a ferry from NJ to NYC to head to his job with Cartoon Network when 9/11 happened. Which lead to a crazy domino effect that created Twlight and Fifty shades of Grey.

10. Some of the bands influences include The Smashing Pumpkins, Iron Maiden, Black Flag, The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Misfits, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Queen and The Cure to name a few.

11. Frank tackled Gerard during the “Famous Last Words” music video which resulted in him tearing some ligaments in his leg.

12. The Black Parade is heavily influenced by the Wall (Pink Floyd) and A night at the opera (Queen).

13. For Conventional Weapons, the band didn’t want to make a concept album and the record company did so they tabled it to make Danger Days.

Which other facts do you want to know? Hope you enjoy looking through these my friends.

not that anyone cares but if you visit nj you should go to groovy graveyard in asbury park. it’s such a dope store. they have dracula shit, misfits shit, and tons of comics. it gives me mcr vibes.

this took me 10 minutes. discuss.

i use my blog like a diary and today i realized i never talked about what happened in my life while i was blog-less from april to august so:

so my blog was suspended right before my 10 year tumblr anniversary with that blog which was april 5th i believe.

on april 6th i flew to san diego to do the 6 california dates of the frank/tbs tour. the tour was so much fun!!! we went to disney for two or three days that we had off from the tour which was a lot of fun. 

the highlight of the tour was the second night in LA because I MET RAY!!!! while tbs was on i saw ray hanging back in the crowd and i couldn’t help myself i had to go say hi so i introduced myself and told him how much the music meant to me, it was really brief cause the show was going on and it was super loud and he was with his wife but he was like the gentlest and nicest man ever....however i had to go chug a 20 dollar beer right afterwards to cope.

we figured gerard and mikey were there as well since they all always go to frank LA shows but im glad i didnt see gerard cause that would just cause a breakdown im a simple man and gerard way makes me cry!

but frank did come talk to us that night, it was the only opportunity i really got on that tour to talk to frank and i hadnt talked to him since last summer when i got really bombed at a tribute show and talked to him while black out drunk which i dont remember. so i had a really good talk with him and i was like i dont know WHY im telling you this but i reminded him how i told him about my alopecia a while back and how mcr had helped me cope with that well while i was in california i tested not wearing a hat to cover my alopecia for the first time and even though it was super scary everyone treated me the same and i did itt! i survived!! so i reminded him how i told him about that and then told him how i had been combatting that on the trip and he seemed so genuinely happy for me he was like that is so awesome and he hi fived me. and it was good i really love frank. oh also i told him we were going to get tattoos in san fransisco and he told us to go to idle hand so

in san fransisco we did go to idle hand to get tattooed! i got a heart on my middle finger and my broken armed boozey that frank drew up for me after i had broken my arm at his show and frank had warned us that they might not be the friendliest people but they were great tattoo artists so we were like scared?? but my guy was so fucking nice and literally hugged me when i tipped him and he thought it was so cool that we were following the tour so idk...good experience.

when i got home from the tour though it was a few weeks until my 25th birthday and i didnt want to live so i went inpatient for almost 2 weeks :( but then i got out and had my birthday and lived i guess lmao

when i went back to work i had like nO MONEY because i spent all of it in california but frank had east coast shows coming up and the release of barriers and i was just like if i dont go i am gonna lose my fucking mind! and my friend convinced me to go to harrisburg and she bought my ticket so i was like yay! amen! this friend is always so good to me i cant explain.

anyway this is my favorite thing. im standing outside the venue talking to my friends before doors and the band walks out the front cause theres only one entrance and theyre going to the bus but frank seens me and walks the other way to come over and shake my hand and tell me it was good to see me ;____; literally rerouted himself to say hi to ME specifically i was like...wah. im baby. i LOVE HIM.

i ended up getting stupid drunk at the show and woke up in the back seat of my car the next morning still parked across from the venue..dont recommend. but im saying this because it is a plot point!

i got in a lot of trouble for going to pennsylvania without telling anyone and not answering any texts or calls when everynoe was still really worried about me but then a couple weekends later there were more shows....the show frank played on a boat and a signing the next day.

so my friends again paid for me to go because they thought it was important for me. which it was. the boat show was fun but i felt so sick because it was on a literal moving boat and i hadnt eaten or slept but i was extremely overcaffeinated....so when we got to the hotel that night i fell asleep for 15 hours straight i was asleep before my friend even got out of the shower and i did NOT wake up.

the signing the next day was really weird for me. they played a few songs which was fine but then to ‘meet’ frank at a signing was super weird cause he and evan were at this table and i just didnt knwo what to say and i felt really awkward and it was a weird shift in dynamic from how i usually talk to them so i feel like i came off as super nervous and then i was liek frank htates me now cause he thinks i am nervous to talk to him...but then my friend was talking to me about it and we realized that it had been a really long time since id talked to frank sober. and it was sad to realize that but also cool that i could make that realization and move forward from it.

so the NEXT weekend i went to the last show which was asbury lanes. saw a lot of pals there. i could have drank but i didnt drink at all and i had the best time....i was amazed by the lighting idk if it was just really good that night or if i hadnt paid any attention cause id always been drunk but it felt really good and i told frank about it after the show!!

but the whole time that all was happening i was like really fucking depressed and i didnt think i was going to even make it home that time. i did make it home but a few days later i tried to kill myself and ended up in inpatient for the whole month of july. :/

when i got out though i made some changes like leavig chipotle and getting a job at hot topic before anyone expected me to go back to work and i also started taking a bio class which is hopefully now going to turn into me doing a surgical tech program starting in the fall!

im still very depressed but im doing better, even i can admit.

if you read this whole thing you are a champ...
