Happy holidays

That last post is hard to scroll through but I hope some of you read it.

I decided to make a shorter post for easier access. This time just to wish you all a happy and safe holiday season. Congratulations to the women on this board who are pregnant.

Happy holidays to all of you and your families.

My young son is quickly developing his own little fan club the way he smiles at the "older ladies" ;

Anonymous said...

And judging by the way he feeds, I think he's going be a tit man, for sure

How vulgar.

How can anyone consider breastfeeding vulgar?

Anonymous said...

Breastfeeding is not vulgar. Speculating about your infant son's future sexual preferences, however, is a rather creepy and squicks me out.

Anonymous said...

^Especially when you're gauging it by his desire to feed from his mom. Freud would have a field day.

kapunua said...

yeah, the idea of breastfeeding as a sexual preference squicks me, as well. I saw some baby clothes that say things like "Boob Guy" and stuff like that and I'm like, UGH, do we have to sexualize boobs constantly? Context!

I'll bet gay men were breastfed exactly the same as straight men, and I'd hardly call them "tit men."

kapunua said...

I remember what else.

JGL fans still around? Awesome interview. I haven't watched the whole thing b/c I never have patience for long videos, but around 5:30 is when Joe starts talking about feminism. He says a lot more than I’d previously heard about, specifically talking about his Mom and Dad, and his Mom’s reaction to objectification and representation of women. It’s really cool.

Also, apparently he has "womb envy" and wants to have a baby, LOL.

Anonymous said...

One of my closest friends is gay and lives with his partner and has been living with him all the time I have known him, which is about eight years.

I also know a few of their other (gay) friends so I am reasonably confident in saying your perception of how gay men think is generalizing, and based on what you think they all think.

Anonymous said...

Liking tits is not all about sexual attraction.

It can represent warmth and security.

kapunua said...

The phrase "tit man" is sexualization. It's gross to begin with, whether you're talking about gay or straight men. It's objectifying a woman's body, as usual.

When applied to an infant, it's still gross.

But hey, I mean, think of your own kids the way you want to think of them! No one's stopping you.

Chiming in to say that I have to agree... saying a child is going to grow up to be "a tit man" because he nurses well is gross to me too. It's food, not sex. A child can have a good appetite and feel closeness to the mother, and feel nurtured, without feeling "sexy" towards breast when he or she grows up. I have a daughter and I'm not going to assign her a sexual identity or sexual preference. That's up to her. And I especially wouldn't do that to her based on feeding habits.

Did you read Gerard's letter? He never fails to make me laugh.

Anonymous said...

Gerard's letter was hilarious. Such poorly written, overly metaphor-laden, emo bullshit. It read like bad fanfic.

He should have just said the thrill is gone and left it at that.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, wasn't this typically Gerard?! He takes himself so seriously it's too hilarious. It's not a band. It's an idea. Jesus Christ.

There was some really juicy gossip on ONTD. Very interesting.

Anonymous said...

I read that stuff on ONTD. About a month before the breakup (when all the stuff about Mikey's cheating came out), someone who claimed to be dating the band's tech, said, among other things, that the band was done. She said that Gerard was back on drugs, not showing up to recording sessions, and that the other guys were done with him. She also said that Gerard was a bad father and that his marriage with Lindsey was not all it seemed. Then she deleted the comments.

I'm thinking it was probably all true.

Anonymous said...

It does seem rather odd that Gerard never finished that Killjoys comic. Also, what happened with Lindsey's "art"? One show and then nothing.

Anonymous said...

I never really thought that he was clean/sober to begin with. I mean, what alcoholic can afford to have 'the occasional drink'? That's total bullshit.

When you realize what an insecure human being he appears to be, who desperately needs the adulation and most likely falls into deep black holes when his 'art' is not as appreciated as he thought it would be, having the occasional drink seems to be a euphemism for getting totally fucked up.

Anonymous said...

Good to see you again Siobhan. Does anyone have a link to the stuff on ONTD?

Anonymous said...

It does seem rather odd that Gerard never finished that Killjoys comic.

I think the Killjoys comic is coming out soon. I think June? But, the story is completely different now. Whatever GW and Shaun Simon dreamed up years ago on a tour bus, is no more, and instead GW is using the comic to continue the story of the Killjoys (band version), moving on from the two videos made (and the one that wasn't made cos they ran out of funding).

I think I'd be kinda pissed if, firstly, the Killjoys name was taken and used for a band idea instead of the original comic idea. And, secondly, the original comic idea was completely changed to continue on from the band that now are no more. Perhaps Becky Cloonan and Shaun Simon don't care, cos they think they are on to a good thing, but I'd be pissed. It seems GW is the boss and what he says goes. The more he says of late, the more you see what a fucked up guys he still is.

What's with Lindsey's stupid letter? As if she'd ever dared to write something like that when MSI needed the support of MCR loonies so that at least 12 people would attend their crap fest of a concert and the band members could afford a beer or two at the bar afterwards.

Anonymous said...

I agree Siobhan


I am a bass player in a band that has been touring for over 13 years.

Firstly, a not very well practiced bass player, who relies on poses, panty shots and backing tracks to get her through.

Secondly, she has only been with MSI for 12 years, as she joined in 2001. Perhaps she is referring to the band itself? But I loathe exaggeration.


6 years ago I married a man in a band that is more successful than my own and 6 years ago the curse of @lusciousjckson settled over me like a fog.

Five and a half years. Just annoying with the exaggeration.

For 6 years there have been handfuls of people every night that come to my show hoping to see my husband. For 6 years handfuls of people come to my show to give me letters and gifts for my husband.

Five and a half years! And in that time she didn't tour with MSI for ages! Infact the only reason MSI are even touring now is because of Lindsey's relationship with Gerard. Funny how she can have dismissed this. Also, the people who came to see her band to meet Gerard (and give him gifts), were fans that would not have come otherwise. It was all money in MSI's pockets, which they wouldn't have got otherwise. A small price to pay, after all Jimmy Urine is all about getting money from the fans.

They are the minority- just like I was probably the only asshole with an agenda at your show. It stings none the less.
Six fucking years ladies, six fucking years.


I doubt they were the minority, but some fans are more shameless in their behaviour than others.

Fair enough, she admits she went to see this Luscious Jackson band only so she could meet the Beastie Boys. But what makes me laugh (still) is that she really does seem to be unaware that the MSI fan base doubled because she married Gerard. It's a fact. It benefited MSI. Tough shit if it stings, deal with it. You can't have your cake and eat it! She's an annoying person who is a little removed from the obvious reality of how people with eyes see things.

I agree with everything you have said 2:17, but for me it is old news now. I was thinking the same things five years ago when she was moaning about being referred to as Mrs Gerard Way.

I don't think it's really sunk in for her. MSI always thought they were daring and risque, and hapily promoted their image that they didn't give a shit. I don't like them, and never will.

Reading those comments on ONTD, that date back to January, it looks like that person was in the know. They said that the band had broken up even back then. Pretty much stands to reason that the other stuff they said was true, too (Gerard being on drugs, being a deadbeat Dad, etc.) And Mikey being a huge scuzz, well, that's obviously true.

Most of us were calling this years ago. It's just nice to blow raspberries at the people who were so obsessed with this band that they took these observations so personally as to flip their crap at people.

I feel so vindicated. I wasn't one of the people at Mayo's, but I got so much crap from the fandom on LJ after making an observation regarding Gerard's behavior at Projekt Revolution, I had to delete my journal. Just because I said he acted like he was either drinking or on drugs again, which I'm convinced he was.

I haven't listened to MCR in years, but I am thoroughly enjoying this breakup, and I'll talk about it as long as it suits me to do so. People who don't like that can fuck off.

They will be sorely missed, but they will not be forgotten. As for Gerard, I'm sure he has something big planned for his future. I don't think you've seen the last of him yet. :)

My God, are you deluded. What did they change? The way people applied their eyeliner or the big revelation that you can use Sharpies to write silly messages on yourself?

That's why nobody takes you lot seriously! That's why nobody took the band seriously! Because you take yourselves too seriously!


Not only did they save lives,

Whose lives did they save? Yours? What a pity that you people can't give yourselves credit for saving your own lives. What a pity that you seem to be dependent on some knight in shining armor to rescue you.
You're only projecting your own will to stay alive onto some band and a statement they once made to lure impressionable, vulnerable teenagers into buying their shit and make the band look as if they really care.
For an avid MCR fan, you don't seem to keep track on their interviews because if you would, then you would have read the interview in SPIN magazine in which he retracts that statement.

Gerard:"[Sobriety] became such a thing," he says. "It was so goddamn important to everyone but me. You start to feel like the two guys in the Smiths who wanted to eat cheeseburgers but had to pretend not to. I understand that kids look up to me, that some people might have gotten sober because of me. But it's not an important thing for me anymore."

SPIN: "You're no one's savior, you mean."

"Hell no." He pauses. "But that was a fun image to play with. Because even if you miss the mark, you're probably gonna be a pretty remarkable person. Shoot for savior, and end up being rad."

"Fun image to play with."

"FUN IMAGE TO PLAY WITH!!!!!"

FUN IMAGE!!!!

IMAGE!!!

TO PLAY WITH!!!

PLAY!!!


It was an image they gave themselves to sell records. And they found it funny. And to top it off, he even admits that it was not about the fans and saving them from whatever they needed or wanted to be saved from. It was about HIM being RAD!!!
To feel good about himself.
It's not about you and your silly little life!

It's not about you with Gerard Way. It never is about you. It's always about Gerard Way.
How stupid do you have to be to not see that???

they instilled a sense of community in their fans, inspired them to be creative, and set some of them on new and exciting paths

Yeah, being creative with their death threats.
That sense of community that makes you gang up on others and bully them on the internet. Force them to delete their accounts on social network sites. Spreading lies.

Yeah, you're right!!!

Nobody even thinks about that Danger Days was a flop and that they might have been let go by Warner because of it. I mean, why would a record company agree with one of their cash cows breaking up if they could milk them some more? Apparently, they were of no use to them anymore.

And who would sponsor that farewell tour to begin with? The band doesn't have any money for that.

I think you misread his meaning. What you don't seem to understand is that being a "savior" was such a burden on him. I don't think he was trying to say he made the whole thing up about saving lives, he was simply saying that he gave it his best shot but realized he was only human after all. He was being modest. And isn't modesty considered to be a desirable trait, especially coming from a rock superstar?

He thinks it's "rad" that his band could save so many lives and influence so many fans in such a positive way, but he felt so much empathy and so much pressure, he just couldn't keep it up. Why is it that people always keep wanting more?

He's only a man. A talented, well-intentioned, often misunderstood goofball of a man, and his true fans understand that.

What you don't seem to get (and, obviously, you don't get of things)is that Gerard's death threat (and it doesn't matter if this person is able to actually carry out that plan) was also a cue for his fansheep to start bullying/harassing me on Twitter.

Au contraire . Edward Thomas Hardy had to struggle through alcoholism, crack cocaine addiction and various arrests. One for stealing a Mercedes and taking it on a joy ride. Luckily his parents were well-to-do and bought his way out of some of those struggles for him.

I realize you're a troll, 9:51, but you might want to get your "Bens" straight. The Ben nominated for a BAFTA is Whishaw -- Benjamin Whishaw, not Benedict Cumberbatch.

You're also wrong about him coming from a "privileged" background. His family was working class. No Eton or Cambridge for Ben Whishaw. He put himself through RADA (after community college) by doing commercials and other small acting gigs.

It sounds to me like he's a spoiled rotten brat who let his daddy fix his problems for him. I doubt he'll ever grow up and will be back on drugs just like you love to claim Gerard is.

Who even is this Ben Wishaw person.? I never even heard of him.

I don't see how anyone can call Tom Hardy overrated. I think he's an amazing actor. So is Benedict Cumberbatch, even though he is something of an overly privileged snob. He was still great in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

It's your loss that you haven't heard of Ben Whishaw, 12:13. He's one of the most talented actors I've seen. You should watch Richard II.

The trolls aren't even trying very hard today, are they? :/ I'm disappointed, trolls.

How are you feeling Kapunua? It can only be about 5 or 6 weeks to go, yes?

We get some really lame trolls here. They're always so blatant. I think they should go to troll school and learn some subtlety. ;)

12:12 you read Kerrang? Lol.

Don't know about you 9:51, but I think the Tom Hardys and "Bendydick" Cummerbunds have more talent in their little pinkies than some American scruffy arsses in bands.

The last 2 weeks his head was so low it started giving me problems, and I was well over the whole pregnancy.

Yeah, I know the last month, really, is supposed to be pretty hard. Lately his noggin is headbutting my obturator nerve. Combine that with the relaxin hormone that is making my hips act all wonky, and it's just throbbing, shooting pains in the thighs, and that occasional "dead leg" that just goes out from under you. DDDD: That's not fun!

A few days ago, I got another check from HitRECord. Some of it was for my Dad's song. I made a video saying that I wanted to spend the dough on something artistic for the baby, to have that connection. Anyway, JGL left me a really nice comment with a little heart. ^_^ Aww, so sweet!

I'm trying to think of something meaningful I can buy for BB with the money. Maybe a musical toy or something.

I did the thing where my hips would just not work in the last couple of months of my pregnancy. I'd be walking along, and then all of a sudden it was like my hip wouldn't lock and my leg would just give way. It was really scary because you're afraid of falling anyway.

Are you having trouble sleeping at night because of the pressure on your hips? I kept having to change sides so many times during the night that I finally gave up and slept in a recliner.

Fun times. ;)

kapunua said...

Same thing! Walking along, and then BAM, like getting shot in the thigh. Instant pain and no muscle control.

It's starting to get to the point where it's hard to sleep. I can go for a few hours, but then I have to switch sides. Which is just as well, because usually by then I have to pee anyway. ^_^;;

I never got the hip thing, maybe I was lucky.

Though he was so low he felt like he was going to pop out, and eating, sleeping and even peeing was just downright uncomfortable.

4:29, that is so cool!


Thank you. It was very cool. I go to the theatre often, but I rarely hang out at stage doors, as I'm not one to fawn over celebrities, and I can be socially awkward at times. I probably would have just gone on my way having gotten a glimpse of him, but I brought my courage that night. So glad I did.

On the subject of cool: the special comment you received from JGL was sub-zero! You must be over the moon. :D


Is he as shy and awkward as everyone says he is? from what I see on tumblr, he seems very willing to meet fans, take pictures with them, and sign autographs...People on tumblr seem to think he's too ~delicate, and that the pressures of having so many fans is going to send him into some kind of emotional meltdown. People on tumblr are crazy though. What's your take on that?

I wouldn't call it shyness, exactly. He's definitely not an extrovert, but I didn't see any of the awkwardness he sometimes displays in interviews.

He was patient and methodical with fans who lined up at the stage door to meet him, making time for every one of them. He's the sort who looks you directly in the eye and listens to what you have to say, and he seems genuinely moved by fans' appreciation. He is oddly ego-less; the comments he seemed to enjoy most were those relating to the play as a whole rather than just his performance.

I don't see him as being particularly delicate or frail - thin, yes, but sinewy. He was obviously tired and emotionally drained after the performance, but happy. There were no signs of an impending meltdown, so people on tumblr should calm down.

Who even is this Ben W(h)ishaw person.? I never even heard of him.

How sad for you. You don't know what you're missing.

Yes it is scary, but also very, very exciting! I think it's good that us pregnant ladies feel so utterly uncomfortable and crap and sleep deprived at the end, because that is the pure fire and drive to make us think bring it on labour, you fucker! You really want to have the pain because you know it will be over and your beautiful baby will be here. Bring it on!

Oh, and all the shitty nights sleep leading up to baby arriving, is the body's natural preparation for shitty nights sleep to come! But those ones are better because you are fuelled by pure adrenaline, and love. For about 6 weeks. Then it runs out and you become a zombie! Haha!

You'll be great Kapunua. I wish you all the very best.

Hi there. I got just wondering why its this type
of big thing nowadays to possess a ridiculous amount of ram
within a computer? People tell me that this more Ram you might have in
your computer the faster your computer is going to be.
I always thought that it was the processor that controls the speed of
the computer rather than the Ram... I had fashioned 512MB of Ram within my laptop and that i have now changed it to 2Gigs of Ram and I've seen no difference in performance what so ever.. Could somebody please explain to me what does Ram does exactly?. Thanks ahead of time.

That's so neat. I wish we had some kind of theaterish thing out here in the sticks. I'm glad you were courageous and went up to him, too. I think that for fans who just want to share a moment to say "thank you, great performance," that can be very nice and chill. It's really kind of actors and actresses to take a moment to accept that thanks, as well. :)

On the subject of cool: the special comment you received from JGL was sub-zero! You must be over the moon. :D

He is just constantly oh-so-nice. It's funny, when I met him, I wasn't even waiting around to meet him. I was checking train schedules to figure out how the heck to get home, and I grabbed the first person I saw to ask for directions to Penn station and it happened to be Joe and his best friend Jared. Too funny. I'm so glad I got to chat with him and I'm always so happy that he's accessible to artists online, too.

Famous people don't have to be this nice and obliging. It's always a little extra into the deal when they are. ^_^

Currently Tom Hardy is filming in Brooklyn and so many of my friends have met him. I know I'd never last the 2 hour train ride to go and meet him, but man, I'd really like to. Everyone says he is the sweetest person.

That's what I was thinking! By the time it comes around, I'll just be like, "All right, let's get through this. I am so finished. I want my hips back, thank you."

I'm actually okay with waking in the middle of the night. I usually wake up a few times anyway to check on the dogs every time they make a single move or sound. Haku's seizures have gotten me used to this, because he tends to have him when he's asleep and I'm fast asleep too. So I can get up at 4 AM, take care of a seizuring dog, get him cleaned up and medicated, take him for a walk, and then go back to sleep. It's not the most pleasant reason to wake up, but I've done it a bunch of times. I guess it will be nicer to wake up to nothing more than a fussy, hungry baby. ^_^

I haven't seen that series yet. I LOVE Carl Sagan. "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself." That quote made my head explode when I heard it. If I ever got a quote tattooed on me, it would be that one.

This is true. I'm hypermobile to begin with, especially in my fingers, back and hips. In this instance, that's more of a curse than a blessing, because my sacrum is literally coming apart at the seams. O_O One little wrong move and it's twisted in opposite directions. Ugh!

Well hopefully soon, all will be well. :D

Kapunua if your are going to give yourself a gift, go get the box set of Cosmos and watch it.

Even though it may appear dated with some of the visuals, the science is still solid.

The way Carl explains the most complex science is astonishing. He really humanized science, made it interesting so you became curious, and also introduced the concept of our interconnectedness with the most abstract of things.

He was a great scientist and made he an iconic series.

Not to mention the soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous, from classical pieces to ambient electronic it adds to the visual presentation.

I might look that up. Actually, I might check if it's on Netflix. :D
