Archive for NOT EMO

Since the start of 2009,

we have been blessed with three amazing videos from three amazing bands.
Thought I oughta share with you,
Northern Downpour by Panic at the Disco
America’s Suitehearts by Fall Out Boy, and
Desolation Row from My Chemical Romance.

Enjoy, and Ciao bambini!

Today is a good day.

Last Day of School, consists of:
Non uniform, (Black and orange with my hair in a beehive and smokey eyes).

Captain Scarlet! (Spectrum is Green!)
“I thought you spacejockeys like to ride high?”

And ‘The Holiday’, that Xmas movie with Jack Black and Cameron Diaz.

And those ‘girls’ who harangue me? The police gave them ASBOs. They walked past me in the street after school, one spat the ‘emo kid’ line at me. And do you know what? It made me laugh out loud, because I dont think I’ve ever been happier than I am now. So do you know what my retaliation was?
“Happy Christmas!!”
It was all that needed saying.

It’s not a side effect of the cocaine, I am thinking it must be love?

Who wins? YOU DECIDE!

Okay, so I’m watching FOB’s new ‘I Don’t Care’ video on the ‘tube, and on my ‘recommended videos for you’ bit (or whatever) there is a video titled ‘my chemical romance STILL sucks’. All it is is some guy shooting the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge CD with an arrow, but of course, I’m not having any of it. This, bambini, is the result.

Me: If you hate My Chem so much why did you support them by going out and buying their album? Get a life. *Okay, I admit, not one of my best, but it does improve*

Idkfawin32: Lol. You fuckin emos all have the same comebacks. Its either “Get A Life” or “You have nothing better to do”. YOu fucking conformist douchebags need to shut the fuck up.

Me: lol all you want, you’re not funny. Actually, I admit that I do find the fact that you need to bulk out your argument by swearing and insulting me like a twelve year old slightly amusing.
The point I was trying to make was that I don’t go round trashing CDs I don’t like, I say, ‘I don’t like that music personally, but if you do then that’s okay, I won’t judge you.’ All I ask is the same respect in return, can you manage that?
Also, I’m not emo or conformist, and I don’t NEED to do anything.

Idkfawin32: I like to search inside, for all the things that you all hide. Whats the problem? Can’t you seem to, Search through these problems that haunt and taunt you? I smile, while you’re* afraid. You run, while you’re *(He can’t even spell your. Ha!) soul pays.
Do you ever see outside you fears?
Thinking about your life
Thinking about your inner fears
HELL YEAH. Korn

BlackFire77756: Korn is great

Me: I could throw lyrics straight back at you, but I won’t, because I can support my own opinions with my own words, not someone else’s.

BlackFire77756: no you don’t. don’t lie.
you cant tell me your*(and HE can’t even spell you’re. sheesh.) so perfect.
i’ve heard it all before

Me: I’m not lying. You obviously just don’t understand the concept of being broadminded.
At no point did I say I was perfect, because I know that I’m not.
And if you’ve heard it before, why do you continue to pursue your feeble arguements?

BlackFire77756: you sure do talk alot, Croppley. you sure you know what feeble even meens?
if anything here is feeble, its your attempt to try and make us undertsand why grown men and women bounce around on stage complaining and whining like sissies and promoting defeatism and self loathing and angst against things they dont understand. complain for complaining sake.
Why would I ever agree shit like this is ok?

Me: Yes, I do. D’you know what defeatism is, ’cause if you did you sure as hell wouldn’t accuse MCR of it.
And you talk a lot too… Doesn’t mean you actually say much. (: This is because, in my opinion, it seems like you don’t know what you’re talking about, ’cause I’ve never supported a single band in my life who do anything but actively discourage self loathing or angst. At least we agree on the fact that those things are wrong messages for music to convey. As I said, I’m no emo kid.

BlackFire77756: fuck you i know what defeatism is. i don’t need to explain shit if you cant understand.
you know what i dont even know why the hell I’m continuing this shit. you just dont get it. all your doing is taking what I say and questioning it without any answers. I know my shit do you know what your talking about?

Me: Ooh, looks like someones getting cranky!
Here, let me explain. Its when someone gives up without a fight, something I dont do very often.
Wow, youve had a revelation! I dont know why youre continuing with this either.
Well of course Im questioning what youve said, because it is flawed. Im just trying to make you think about what youre saying.
Also, I am answering you, because I’m writing this.
Yes, I do know what Im talking about. Thanks for asking. :)

BlackFire77756: look at you. now that you know im backing off you act so tough. I dont htink its worth my time to teach a kindergardner like you about grown up ideas. you just wont get it. now I leave you with this big fuck you emo kindergardner!

Me: Oh, you’re the big man, aren’t you? You must be very proud. Well done, have a gold sticker, you can make up your own insults! I won’t bother defending myself against ‘kindergartener’ because well, we all know I’m not, don’t we? Don’t worry, I don’t need you to teach me. I’ll cope, dear.
As I said, I’m not emo.
There’s not much more I really need to say now, is there? Thanks for your opinion.

Will update if there’s anything else… somehow I think it won’t get much better’n that. Ciao, bambini!

Yes, I’m a silly fool. No, I’M NOT EMO!

The birds are singing, the sun is shining (okay, it’s not) but school is done for the year! Six long weeks of freedom lie ahead. But I’m going to tell you about today.

So today was great, as it was, THE LAST DAY! Which also means… Non uniform! Now, I told you about my plan, which was… to wear my Blacklist dress! Seeing as The Black Parade Is Dead! and all, I thought I’d go crazy and wear my Black Parade dress. If you don’t know what that is, it looks a lot like this (but with someone else wearing it).

(Nice, innit?)

(Nice, innit?)

And, although all my friends love it too (or so they tell me :D ), many people seemed to object to my wearing it. And, to express their disgust, they used the original, truthful and imaginative insult of shouting ‘FXXXING EMO!’ at me and giving me filthy looks (insinuating ‘go slit your wrists and die, dirty scum’, and doing this unashamedly) as I walked down corridors and went about my own business. And, rather than retaliate in the way they would like by a) crying and getting upset, b) swearing and getting violent, c) staring at them solemnly then self harming, or d) giving up and telling them I was sorry and it wouldn’t happen again, I simply laughed at them and asked them loudly if they had an observation to make, and if so would they state it? followed by shooting down their petty and pitiful statements of my emo-ness. (Explain exactly what an emo is? And am I that? And what are you? And actually, I don’t care what you think.)

And no, I did not call a single one of them a chav or stereotype them in the way they did to me, because I never would. And that makes me feel a whole lot better, because it means I’m a better person. I would also like to mention today was great, so there, ChemicalCrew. I spent the afternoon tug of warring, and chillaxing with my real friends, and it was great. All I can say now is, roll on the summer! Ciao, bambini!

(PS: Full moon tonight! Promise I’ll update you before the next.)

Yes, I am opinionated. No, I am not emo.

Read This First, If Not For Me, At Least To Form Your Own Opinion On The Matter.
About the whole Hannah Bond thing, I can’t imagine how awful it must feel to lose a child like that, but what the press has been saying really is starting to get on my nerves…
They’re just making stuff up, now! The Black Parade is not the emo resting place, it is a metaphor for the patient’s passing from this life to the next that makes it a little more bearable for him, it is metaphorical of his happy childhood. And, as if I need to say this, yet again, MCR ARE NOT EMO! (Read quotes pages, links over yonder to the left). Please, would the press do real research before pointing fingers?… Or maybe they just can’t be bothered?

I never feel more uplifted than when I’m listening to their music: as a matter of fact, I truly believe they saved my life after helping me through rough times. Emo is just a stereotype, this girl obviously got the wrong end of the stick.
Although I sympathise, will someone please see sense?
Ciao, bambini.

Some advice: In life,

speak like this:
… x … I OWN ALCOPOP!!! … x …’s profile:
Yeah brap brap it’s P3R0X1DE ea, bush mayte
wel yh im 14 bt goin on 16 yuu get me?? lollllll!!! yh me n ma gurls just roll wivout much clothes yh? bt dats okay coz were faf ask eny1 or check out ma piccis deres plenty nuffin rong wit posin!!!!! so yh im into boys, thongs, booze (yh i can prove it coz i take photos), dance music i can grind to hahaha!!!!!

(et cetera, et cetera)

You get to insinuate things like this:
go die you emo kid
why would you want to stand out from the crowd, you psychopath?
is it coz I iz cool and you iz wierd?
how dare you question my superiority over you! have you not yet noticed I AM POPULAR and that YOU ARE AN OUTCAST?
well, I have boobs, which is more than can be said for SOME people…
I hate you, and so does everyone, why can’t you just accept that?
Well, you did bring this upon yourself, becoming an emo and all…

So why am I so happy in this dreary world?
Well, I guess you can tell me.
MyChem rule. So long and goodnight.
Ciao!

Sorry. I guess.

Well, I know that I’ve not really been updating you recently so to make up for it I have compiled a list of some cool quotes which I have made into pages, the links for which can bee seen if you look to the left of the screen at the top. I hope you love them just as much as I do. By the way, if you’re only going to bother reading one, I would ask you to read ‘A few important quotes’, as it argues my side of a debate that is personal not only to me but every other MCR and every one of their fans (other than those who think MCR want us to be emo… no comment on them). But they’re all good and some of them are very funny. Or you could not read any at all; which wouldn’t be so good but hey ho, you might actually have a life.

Well, for someone who doesn’t have anything to say I’ve talked far too much so I’ll be signing off. Ciao, bambini.

Being a contemporary rocker is very hard work.

This morning we got to see the afore mentioned dreaded lunch card photos. Oh dear. I look well, pretty awful to say the least! Ah well. I’ve only got to put up with it for another two and a half years. hmmm… But I wish they’d have been today, as apparently my hair looks nice today. In fact, several people asked me if I’ve dyed it- which I haven’t! Apparently it looked blonde at the front this morning, so I must have had a trip from the hair dye fairy last night, and I’m not sure if that’s good or bad, but still.Also, I had to explain the finer points of my ’style’ today. I’m NOT emo. No one seems to understand that I’m a nu goth/ contemporary rocker! tsskk! If the good lord Gerard Way says MCR aren’t emo, they’re not, OK? So all this came about in *la musique* today Mr. P just let us revise for our exams next week. Ahem. So I was doing some art prep, ie doodling elephants, when he asked us if we wanted some music on, which we did. But he only had rubbish music so KP pipes up, ’sir, can we just listen to our own music on our iPods?’ much to the rest of the classes amazement. If you didn’t know already, our school is very strict on iPods/ mp3s/ phones etc. and they are all strictly forbidden. So we were even more amazed when Mr. P says, ‘Yeah, sure… Why not?’ So we spent the whole lesson checking out each others phones and listening to music. As Bazzerina would say, Coolio!
