Jun. 1st, 2007 04:02 pmSo LJ finally admitted their screw-up and is un-suspending all journals that were fannish or not seriously belonging to pedophiles trying to solicit small children on the web. THANK FUCK. Now I'll go get my plus account back because I really really want those 15 icons, I can't make do with six!
I am reminded of how incredibly sweet My Chemical Romance is. I mean, on one hand, they're hot and dark and moody and screaming at you to get off your fucking ass and do something. On the other hand, this band was formed to save your life. Not someone else's life, yours. Not because someone wanted to get laid or because Ryan Ross wanted to do blink-182 covers or because Pete Wentz ran out of other bands to be in. Gerard Way was on a ferry from New Jersey to New York, saw a plane crash into the World Trade Center, and decided that he wanted to do something with his life that would help people and mean something to the world. I can't think of any other bands who operate under that premise, and it makes me want to sniffle and hug something.
ETA: I meant to add this in, but I forgot! Here is a link to a primer; the embedded video at the top is a snippet from MCR's DVD, Life On The Murder Scene, where they talk about the saving-lives thing. And, as a bonus, Gerard is the most adorable big brother on the planet. Also, I have hopes of hooking some of you into this fandom (or at least this band), so there will probably be a primer soon.
Today we snuck out of Calculus and went to get ice cream down the street. With the teacher. It was awesome.
