A few reassuring quotes from…
My Chemical Romance. Oh yesh.
About: Health
Gerard- “I went to Japan not thinking I was coming back, this was our first trip there, right before I got clean and I got on that plane and I packed real light. I was so addicted to self destruction, more so I think than the drugs. There’s something alost romantic about it. I really thought I was going to die, I really thought I wasn’t coming back… but I haven’t touched anything since, I remember every single moment of the past 3 and a half years. **
Bob- The nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me… about a year ago, was ‘You look skinny’.
Frank- What? That’s so superficial!
Bob- No, it’s not, it’s just ’cause it was something… I don’t even know if it was nice… wait, I take that back again.
Frank- You really should…
Bob- No! It was just funny ’cause that was the first time I’d ever heard that in my whole life. (sighs.) I take it back.
Frank- I’m telling you, it’s gotta be… y’know-
Bob (freaks out)- Why? Is that something bad?
Frank- Well, what about little boys that look up to you that wanna play drums and then they become anorexic ’cause you say it’s cool to be skinny…
Bob (exasperated)- It’s not cool! It’s something I worked at!
{Frank laughs}
Bob {to cameraman}- Is that something bad?
{cameraman mumbles}
Bob- No! It’s something I work on… man… {hits Frank} ++
**Gerard has been clean and sober since August 2004, and won’t even take medicine when he’s ill. He has only had alcohol at special occaisions, such as the weddings of him, Frank and his brother Mikey but not got drunk.
++Bob has been maintaining a constant, healthy weight for a while now and Frank’s small bruise has now faded.
