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.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 950 Newer› Newest»Can I just say how great I think it is that this blog outlasted Mayo's evil blog? There are so many good and nice people on here.
There are some nice people on here. I find it unfortunate that so many of them don't post under a name, myself included, but since we're always targets of those crazy trolls from you-know-where, I don't like it when they can single me out.

Happy St. David's Day to you all
I hope you're keeping well Kapunua.
Miss T, hope you and your sis have fun planning the wedding.
I don't think Mayo's blog was evil, yes it was a bit crazy at times, but not evil. I still miss the place actually:(
Anyway, hope you all have a lovely day.
Toodle pip.
Hiya guys, how are you all?
Miss T, hope you and your sis have fun planning the wedding.
Hiya Welshie sweetie *huge hug* how the hell are you? how's life treating you?
Thanks so much, sis is now doing the rounds of the wedding related open days. Glad it's her job cos all that stuff is boring. I just need to turn up and wear a nice dress hee hee!
Could someone please explain to me why there is a current infatuation with facial fuzz amongst men?
Someone close to me is starting to look like one of the Mario Bros and I feel somewhat ambivalent about the whole thing :/
I like Ben Whishaw, February 28 @ 1:15. I'd already seen that post on tumblr, but I enjoyed reading it again, so thanks for posting the link. I agree that directors seem to fetishize his body, and it makes me a little uncomfortable because I enjoy looking at it so much. Especially in Cloud Atlas, when at long last, he got to be sexual. :)
The thing that always strikes me about him is how he looks so different in each part he plays. It's like his characters actually inhabit his body, and his face undergoes a little mini-transformation. He's definitely a chameleon-like actor, as this tumblr post shows, which probably both hurts and helps him. I don't think he gets enough credit for his brilliance because people don't always recognize him from role to role. I mean, Sidney from Layer Cake is a pretty far cry from John Keats in Bright Star. And if you've never seen the clips from All Signs of Death, you will be blown away by his American accent.
I doubt he wants to be really famous because he's so shy, but I wish the entire world could come to know what a great actor he is.
From this article.:
The reality is, MacFarlane got slammed for every misogynist in Hollywood as well as every man – and woman – who has held unrealistic expectations of female stars while male stars have been allowed a vast range of appearance and un-Botoxed expression. Women have to show their breasts to get noticed regardless of the circumstance of their roles while male frontal nudity is almost wholly banned from the movies. Breasts only get a PG-13 rating while penises get the box office death of an NC 17.
Is MacFarlane the villain for calling out the reality or are Hollywood — and American audiences — at fault for demanding physical perfection from female actors while men can look however they want?
Everyone ranting about Seth McFarlane at the Oscars needs to read this article. Although most of the men watching probably didn't understand what he was trying to do, it pains me that so many women and feminists are raging about him. He brought attention to the double standard in films -- out loud and in the open. That's a good thing.
No he didn't. He spent the first twenty minutes trying to satirize sexism in Hollywood. And sometimes, even on Family Guy, he excels at this exact thing.
But then he turned into Peter Griffin for the rest of the night. He was not busting on sexism. He was busting on women. This isn't satire; satire goes UP. That's what people fail to understand, and what the Oscars failed to understand that night.
Yes, Hollywood is just as bad, if not worse. Yes, that needs to be addressed. Seth MacFarlane failed at addressing it, choosing instead to take the easy way out and become a part of it.
Sorry that you're so "pained" about feminism, dude. Sucks for you.
Hey Kapunua, how are you feeling?
And how are things with mini K :)

Sorry that you're so "pained" about feminism, dude. Sucks for you.
No, actually, I'm not all that bovvered by feminism. I'm a feminist, you see. I just don't happen to agree with you on absolutely everything, which is unacceptable to you.
You, on the other hand, seem to be pained by everything, and although I like you most of the time, and agree with you often, you are quite exasperating. It's always your way or the highway, which doesn't make for constructive conversation or even progress, really, when you won't even try to see another side of whatever it is you're ranting on about at the moment.
I admire your principles and I admire the way you have taken control of your life. I've always been on your side when you were being attacked, so it's a little disappointing when you come back at me with "you suck" when I have a different opinion than you.
Seth McFarlane got people talking about women's roles in Hollywood, and the ridiculous double standards that exist. Opening up conversation instead of sweeping that kind of crap under the rug is a step forward, not backward.
The world sucks basically, especially for us women and minorities, and all of us are just trying to make our way the best we can. I can disagree with you and still be a good person and a feminist. You'll probably disagree, because you think you're infallible, but hey. I guess some things don't ever change.
you are quite exasperating.
Awesome. I know people like you hate "shrill" women who speak out too loudly about things you like, but I like being one of those women. The fact that you used the word "ranting" is a pretty decent indicator of your silencing techniques. You don't have to like or agree with women's anger, but it says an awful lot about you when you don't.
Seth McFarlane got people talking about women's roles in Hollywood, and the ridiculous double standards that exist.
No he didn't. People were talking about it before; maybe you missed it. Now, we're all just talking about how he added to it.
And I didn't say "you suck," I said, "sucks for you."
Bye!
Hey Kapunua, how are you feeling?

Thank you! I have an u/s on Friday. I always get nervous before those things. Today I'm just going through tons of paperwork. Who knew there would be so many forms to fill out just to have a baby? Do you know, in NY they don't let you take your own baby out of the hospital unless you already have a pediatrician? And my medical coverage only covers him for 2 days after he's born. O_O So you basically have to leave the hospital and get on the horn with your insurance company the very next second.
Lots of paperwork! I really think that giving birth will be the easy part, LOL!
Truth. A lot of actresses were upset. I think if the people who are being mocked feel hurt by it then it's their call whether it was sexist or not.
http://tv.yahoo.com/news/jamie-lee-curtis-slams-oscars-host-seth-macfarlane-172700046.html
Jamie Lee Curtis.
"The 'boob' song, as it will be known in perpetuity, may go down as the highest-rated Oscar number in history, but at what cost? I'm sure public executions would get big ratings too, but is that what the Oscars are truly about? Ratings? When did they turn into a 'roast'? At least at a roast you know what's in store. What if actors and actresses stopped attending the Oscars because it was deemed open session to ridicule and parody them? Would the Academy be so cavalier then?"
The 54-year-old actress adds, "What we will be talking about is Seth's lack of class and a 14-year-old boy's derogatory word for one of the most beautiful, motherly and literally nurturing parts of the female form."
Curtis wasn't the only one offended by this song. Jane Fonda, 75, also wrote on her blog about the Oscars: "What I really didn't like was the song and dance number about seeing actress' boobs. I agree with someone who said, 'If they want to stoop to that, why not list all the penises we've seen?'"
And the mocking of men was almost completely absent. My thought was that they weren't making fun of Hollywood, they were making fun of women.
And Seth McFarlane saying that he didn't even care if you could undrestand Selma Hayak or not because she was "so hot" was extremely wrong.
And making fun of bulemic women, too. THat one hit home in a bad way.
I personally never found Family Guy funny at all. I thought the Oscars was boring when he hosted it. Sexist AND boring.
But I guess since I'm saying this, I must be "ranting" and not letting anyone else have their say.
I just think if you like Family Guy and you weren't offended by the sexism in the Oscars, good for you, but some of us were extremely offended.
Same anon as a minute ago. I just logged onto Yahoo to check my mail and found this link. link
Actress Geena Davis critical of Oscar host
The "Thelma & Louise" star said MacFarlane's much-criticized routine last month overshadowed the win of an animated film with a strong female character.
"It's a shame that that triumph was enveloped in an awards ceremony containing disrespect for women," Davis told members of the California Assembly during a ceremony in Sacramento. "But it helps illustrate how tone-deaf we can still be regarding the status of women."
Last week, two female state lawmakers sent a letter to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences asking it to condemn MacFarlane's quips about nude scenes and the attractiveness of several female actresses as degrading toward women. At one point during the Oscars ceremony, MacFarlane performed a song about "boobs" and referenced several rape scenes among his list of movies with actresses appearing topless.
----
But... I guess I'm wrong for seeing it her way and I shouldn't "rant" about it.
Okay obviously that link didn't work.

MacFarlane's quips about nude scenes and the attractiveness of several female actresses as degrading toward women. At one point during the Oscars ceremony, MacFarlane performed a song about "boobs" and referenced several rape scenes among his list of movies with actresses appearing topless.
Really? Rape scenes?
I'm glad I didn't watch it.
Gosh Kapunua it's not long now!
So excited for you!!!
http://www.businessinsider.com/seth-macfarlane-boobs-song-angered-hollywood-women-2013-2
Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts and Jennifer Lawerence were in cahoots with MacFarlane on the boob song. Their reactions were pre recorded to be included as part of the opening number.
According to Jamie Lee Curtis' criticism of Macfarlane she would find the comments on this blog sexist and offensive since so many of you
use "a 14-year-old boy's derogatory word for one of the most beautiful, motherly and literally nurturing parts of the female form"
Boobs.
She finds that word derogatory.
thick
Kapunua ever looked at Etsy?
Some of the baby hats and blankets are really sweet.
Seth Macfarlane's I saw you boobs song didn't make fun of rape or rape victims. It did make fun of the puerile reaction of boys and men who only care that they saw the actresses' boobs. How many of you heard that you were going to see Jodie Foster's boobs in The Accused, Charlize Theron's in Monster, Naomi Watts' in Mulholland Drive. How many times have we all heard I saw her boobs in that movie.?
That's a typical puerile reaction. It's more prevalent but no different than a group of girls discussing seeing Tom Hardy's or another actors peen in a movie instead of discussing the plot or subject matter of the movie.
Seth Macfarlane was making fun of the childishness of his own gender with the boob song and with the Selma Hayak joke. Many men have made that I don't care if can understand her- She's hot comment about her. Several women have too.
I'm wondering why more people aren't talking about The Onion's vulgar comment about Quvenzhane Wallis or Joan Rivers Holocaust joke about Heidi Klum.
"“Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that Quvenzhané Wallis is kind of a c*nt, right? #Oscars2013,” The Onion
"The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens," Joan Rivers
Yeah, The Onion's comment wasn't funny at all. She's only 9 yrs old isn't she? Really poor taste.
As far as Joan Rivers, what an utterly unfunny and distasteful comment she made about Heidi Klum. Just unforgiveable. Hasn't Joan Rivers also been making fat jokes about Adele? She needs a wake up call, stupid woman.
I don't see a whole lot of support for women in the arts here. People always go on about men in film like Tom Hardy or JGL, but nobody ever mentions Jessica Chastain or Jennifer Lawrence. I don't see any recommendations for music made by women either.
Did anybody here even see Zero Dark Thirty, which had a woman director and whose main character was a strong woman? Or how about Winter's Bone, which got Jennifer Lawrence her first Oscar nomination a couple of years ago? Does anybody here even know that film existed?
And how many of you saw Life of Pi, which was directed by a Korean and starred a young Indian man? How many people saw Cloud Atlas, which featured a Korean actress in one of its lead roles?
I used to follow Kapunua on tumblr, and although she posts feminist topics, when it comes to her entertainment posts, it's all dick all the time. Mostly white, British dick too.
If you want to be against discrimination in film, maybe it would help to support women and minorities in film.
^Meant to say Ang Lee is Taiwanese. Doona Bae (Cloud Atlas) is Korean.
I'd also like to add that I even though I didn't think Seth MacFarlane was funny, you'd have to be kind of thick to have watched that "I Saw Your Boobs" song and NOT know that he was making fun of men, not women. I mean, come on!
4:32 Firstly I don't watch many movies and I don't idolize anyone in the entertainment industry.
The people I admire are mainly authors both male and female, and people that work in the field of social services or science.
I post what I want. You don't have to like it. However, there's no "dick" on my Tumblr, which is mostly feminist articles or commentaries, and pictures of Tom Hardy.
I'm glad you don't follow my blog anymore! I don't want you there.
It's more prevalent but no different than a group of girls discussing seeing Tom Hardy's or another actors peen in a movie instead of discussing the plot or subject matter of the movie.
You're also wrong on this subject. Because when men take their clothes off, they're not being objectified. A man (esp. a white man) can go around naked, do a strip tease on SNL, make sexy comments about himself, and still be taken seriously. If, for instance, Scarlett Johannsen had decided to do a strip tease on SNL, she would be called a slut, and not taken seriously. And when she got nasty comments about her body, her "sluttiness" etc. she would have been told she was "asking for it."
JGL--and Tim Hardy, and Ewan McGregor, and Ben Wishaw, and all the other pretty men showing their body parts--do so with a privilege that is never afforded to women when we choose to show ours.
This is a huge subject and probably too complicated for you to understand at this point.
Kapunua ever looked at Etsy?
Some of the baby hats and blankets are really sweet.
Oh, and yes! I've got a few things from Etsy on my online registry. :D I love handmade stuff.
Granted, most of my baby stuff is second-hand. I've already got a stroller, car-seat, crib, and about 3 years worth of clothing, all second-hand! ^_^ I think that's the best way, to re-use things. (As long as they haven't been recalled and are in good condition.)
But I've gotten a few things from Etsy, as well as some cute onesies from cafepress. :D
I post what I want. You don't have to like it. However, there's no "dick" on my Tumblr, which is mostly feminist articles or commentaries, and pictures of Tom Hardy.
You're rather savant-like, aren't you?
Obviously you post what you like, and that's not women, because you don't post about them. Hullo?
Supporting women means enjoying their artistic works and sharing them with friends and on social networks like tumblr. If you're only posting about "hot guys", then how is that supporting women in the arts?
And the "all dick all the time" thing wasn't meant to be literal. Lol.
JGL--and Tim Hardy, and Ewan McGregor, and Ben Wishaw, and all the other pretty men showing their body parts--do so with a privilege that is never afforded to women when we choose to show ours.
Actually, I do understand that, and I agree with it completely, which is why I punched the air when Mr. MacFarlane did that "I Saw Your Boobs" bit. Watching him reduce those performances about sensitive subjects to the juvenile level of "Dude! BOOBS!" was obviously social commentary. Unless, of course, you're one of those morons who thought Archie Bunker was promoting bigotry and racism.
I follow Kapu's Tumblr and in my experience it's mostly social justice issues and geek culture. And pics of Tom Hardy and sometimes cats.
Unless, of course, you're one of those morons who thought Archie Bunker was promoting bigotry and racism.
I like Seth McFarlane though I didn't even see the Oscars, but I think you just lost your entire argument here. I don't recall anyone calling you a moron because you liked or didn't like something.
Okay, cutting in once more here. I am extremely confused. I sometimes look at Kapu's blog and I saw a post recently that was IN DEFENCE of the Boob Song, saying how it was a satire and that McFarlane was "one of the good guys".
I don't even know which side people are on.
You're rather savant-like, aren't you?
Kapunua, this person probably doesn't have any actual points to make at this point. It's just personal attacks at this point and probably not worth getting into. I thought they had some good things to say at first, but obviously they now just simply don't like YOU. So it might be time to change the channel, but of course do whatever you want with them! Just my personal opinion.
I think you just lost your entire argument here. I don't recall anyone calling you a moron because you liked or didn't like something.
So you did think Archie Bunker was promoting bigotry and racism?
And if resorting to calling people idiots and morons means that you automatically lose an argument, then obviously Kapunua has lost every argument she's ever been in. Just sayin'.
"And if resorting to calling people idiots and morons means that you automatically lose an argument,"
Okay, so now we know who this is. I was trying to flush them out and now I did.
This person is a "lovely" (we know which one) and a straw feminist. In other words, not a real feminist, just pretending to be one, to get back at someone who they hate.
I honestly think we can move along now.
Okay, so now we know who this is. I was trying to flush them out and now I did.
Wrong, Genius. You don't have a clue who I am.
This person is a "lovely" (we know which one) and a straw feminist.
Do you really think anyone who doesn't share your exact views is a "straw feminist"?
Jeez, but you're full of yourself.
obviously they now just simply don't like YOU
You really need to go back and read some of Kapunua's replies to my original comment. The gist of what she says is, "If you don't agree with me, then you can't possibly have anything valid to say. Sucks for you." And then she responds with a dismissive, "Bye!"
In your eyes, she can do no wrong.
In the past, I've been on Kapunua's side when people have unfairly attacked her. But, you have to admit, she can be totally pig-headed and stubborn to the point that she becomes infuriating. I'm just trying to point that out.
Either this is a blog that objectively talks about feminist's issues, or it's the "lets idolize Kapunua" blog. From your reactions, I think it's become the latter.
People conveniently forget that the idiot in question was defending, and LOLing all over the place, about child slavery and fur trade. The privilege was disgusting. Yes, she's an idiot.
If you're still burned about that, anon, or if you ever were, then you're obviously not the person to be talking to about anything.
It's obviously you have a pretty big beef with me, from the way you're talking, and this "oh but I used to defend you!" is so much hot air. And besides, I don't want your "defense" anyway.
Wow, it does suck for you that a dismissive "bye" bothers you that much.
Anyway. Bye!
This person is a "lovely" (we know which one) and a straw feminist.
a "lovely"?
Wow, it does suck for you that a dismissive "bye" bothers you that much.
No, it doesn't really bother me at all. I think you're being ridiculous and it's really a bit funny.
It sucks for you that you can't just carry on a conversation without thinking you have to "win".
People conveniently forget that the idiot in question was defending, and LOLing all over the place, about child slavery and fur trade. The privilege was disgusting. Yes, she's an idiot.
What the hell are you even on about here? You sound like a raving lunatic.
And, typical. Pretty much confirms what the other anon was saying about who this is.
Oh, 8:47, no need to be confused. I've said many times that I did get where the "boob song" was going, and what it was aiming for, but that I felt it fell short. I just don't think it was done well. And that I don't think they should have used scenes depicting rape to demonstrate the point.
It's really everything that came after that that was so sexist and racist. Because the defining moment of the "Boob song" was "Okay, best Oscar host ever, because we're not actually LIKE that!" It was the close of the "joke" (which was lame to begin with.)
There was no reason and no excuse for anything he said after that. The joke was over. The idea was "that would be wrong and we're not going to be like that." And then he spent the rest of the night being like that.
The post on my Tumblr isn't exactly in defense of it, or of Seth MacFarlane. More like expressing disappointment because I actually do like him, and I see what he sometimes tries to do (even if he fails some of the time, and sometimes dismally.) I know he's also a huge monetary supporter of LGBT and women's rights movements.
I just wish he'd more often put his mouth where his money is, because most people don't know about his contributions, but everyone listens to him. And if he really believes in that stuff, he needs to work harder at creating things that the average Peter Griffin can understand.
Well, I know that and a lot of other people know that, but Butthurt anon just wants to be mad because apparently I don't agree with her enough or give her enough attention.
Back to sorting baby clothes! I've got a TON.
You just go right on believing that everything is all about you, Kapunua, and that nobody ever can disagree with you. I don't give a damn whether you agree with me or not, and I damn well do not need your attention.
I think you just proved that you can't accept anyone's opinion but your own, and that you'll resort to whatever you have to do in order to come out "on top" (in your eyes, anyway). Because in the end, it's not even about Seth Macfarlane or even feminism. It's all about you.
It really, really must be exhausting. I actually feel sorry for you.
@ 11:02, something that happened at the bad bad place ^_~
I don't give a damn whether you agree with me or not,
Clearly you do. You're the one who made this personal, you're the one still holding onto the word "idiot," (she is,) and you're the one who is getting butthurt when people say they like my blog. "OMGzz YOU AGREE W HER, STOP IDOLIZING HER TUMBLR, I DUN LIKE THAT!!!!"
Like, not only do you care too much what I think, you care too much about what other people think of me.
I don't think you really care about much else, and I think you really, really need to get over this.
And the biggest Oscar snub goes to...
Such a shame. This kid was fantastic.
Angry anon, if I may butt in to say something.
You're the one who got angry first.
There were a lot of people who disagreed with what went on at the Oscars. You singled out Kapunua (the one person here who actually defended it, sort of.) YOU singled her out among EVERYONE here who didn't like it.
You're the one who brought up her Tumblr and then got mad when others said they liked it.
You're the one who started calling stupid names and making personal attacks.
You're the one who's hung up on the word "idiot" from years ago.
You're the one accusing people who agree with her of "idolizing."
If you had a point at all, it got lost in all of your personal attacks.
So really you're the one coming across as a little bit obsessed, and with no actual point other than to single out one specific person.
Maybe you should think about that.
Kapunua I love Etsy!
The creativity there amazes me. I also like to give my support to female entrepreneurs :)
Thank you, 1:19.
I hope everyone else had a fabulous day. My good friend from high school came by to help my Mom and I with the new room. Actually, they did most of the work. I could only paint in small increments, wearing a stupid mask. But together we got all the painting done, and my friend ripped up the old rug.
That's about half the work right there! What a load off my mind! Hopefully, everything will be done and ready by the time Pugsley gets here. ^_^
I'm so excited for you Kapunua!
And pics of Tom Hardy
Miss those pics...and Ewan McGregor.
.
Seriously, my baby boy is such a little cheeky chop.
:)
Ah, cute, 12:06 :)
Do you mind my asking how old your little one is?
Kapunua I've noticed your fascination with numbers. Are you into Numerology?
3:58, it is SO FUNNY that you asked that, because I just looked on here and thought, "Oooh, 666! I wonder who got that one!"
I do love numbers, but I really struggle with them. It's hard for me to read them in the right order. But I have total OCD with numbers that I like. And when things add up to 3, 6 or 9, that makes me happy. Like 666 adds up to 9, and I love that. :D
Kapu, would you mind telling me the URL of your blog? I'm not one of the "angry" or trouble maker anons, I just would like to see the things you post because they sound interesting and I'm always looking for more feminist resources.
You're reminding me of Bill & Ted Kapunua :)
Kapunua your attraction to numbers is similar to my fixation with colour and light :)
SIXTY NINE, DUDE. (69 actually is a really nice number. ^_^ )
1:44, that is really cool. I also love photographs with really sharp light and vivid colors.
9:25, it's http://la-belle-laide.tumblr.com/ It's really mostly political stuff, petitions, feminist things, and pictures of Tom Hardy (and sometimes some Inception stuff.) Kinda boring, but I hope you like it! :D
(69 actually is a really nice number. ^_^ )
Agree! ^_~

That's weird K cos I'm all OCD with numbers too and it's 3,6 and 9 that I'm obsessed with too.
I have to count while I read, I've done it since I was little and don't know how to stop it. While I'm reading with one half of my brain, the other half is counting how many latters are in the word and how many words are on that line etc. Can't stop.
That's so weird, Misty, my Mom has told me that she does that, too. She counts letters and syllables.
OCD is fun, huh? LOL.
I would appreciate people's opinion on this.
Would you consider having children less than two years apart from each other positive or negative?
I think it really depends on what the family can handle. Like, my brother is 23 years older than me, and we get along great. However, when I was little, I often wished there was someone closer to my age.
My cousin and I grew up together, and we were 8 days apart.
My other two cousins were born within 11 months of each other, LOL. "Irish Twins." And they get along fine.
I think if you can handle it, it's all good. Depends on the family. ^_^
Thank you for your opinion Kapunua.
I have close cousins too, and many friends.
Sometimes all I seem to be doing is keeping up with all the birthday/namedays/christenings/Christmas/graduations, but I don't mind I like being social :)
And now that Easter is approaching I have a truck load of Colomba's to pick up!
Kapunua, my babe gave me one of the best birthday presents EVER this morning!
A first print hard back copy of Virtual Light signed by the Great D himself.
Absolutely over the moon!!!
Even my puppy is named Chevette!
10:14, boy, is that the truth. Every other month is a holiday of a birthday. I'm always gift-shopping!
6:41 - WOW! Lucky duck! I'd treasure that. Hell, I'd probably sleep with it under my pillow. ^_^
I know I'm sounding a bit fangirlish, but I admire and respect that man so much!
Hell, I'd probably sleep with it under my pillow. ^_^
Yes, that and I'm insuring it alongside my vinyl :) :)
i don't need to sell my so~oul

Hi blog:)
Comic Relief's Red Nose Day. Bring it on. I shall be wearing my pyjamas and my red nose to work today. I love Comic Relief, you can make a right tit of yourself, all in the name of charity innit:)
Such fun, such fun.
You wearing your red nose Miss T?
Not long to go now Kapunua. I'm soooo excited for you. You keeping well?
Have a great day everyone.
Ta ra.

Would you consider having children less than two years apart from each other positive or negative?
Me and my sis are two years apart and when we were growing up, all our friends had siblings that were two years apart. It seems to be a good number and I can say that I love the fact that me and sis are close in age. You like all the same things and share the same fashions etc.
You wearing your red nose Miss T?
Hiya Welshie sweetie, how are you?
I've not got the nose on at the mo cos I can't breathe with that on, but it's here next to me.
Love that Peter Kay bit, he's hilarious. Did you see his lips LMFAO.
MISS T! hello my lovely.
Peter Kay's lips. Ha bloody ha.
David Tennant snogging John Bishop. Nice:)
Life's been a bit stressful lately to be honest. Had a major argy bargy with my neighbour. Sly bugger. I'm trying to forgive and forget. Not easy. Also my friend's mam died last week. She was only 52, such a lovely person. Her death's affected me deeply. Takes me back to a time I don't want to re visit.
Anyway, that's enough about me and my problems, tell me, how's the wedding plans coming along?
Kapunua if you are experiencing mixed feelings as you get closer to your due date, don't worry it's normal.
I remember experiencing excitement and apprehension (about the birth) at the same time.
Wearing so much bling today!
Love shiny stuff :)
hey Welshie, Misty and anons!
Welshie, sorry about your neighbor. I'm having a minor "thing" with my long-time neighbors, too. They have a wood-burning stove and they keep burning all kinds of gross, caustic stuff in there. It's like living in Victorian London with the smog they create.
ANd sorry about your friend's Mam, too. :(
Misty, yeah, the handwashing, oh man. I have to wash my hands a ton anyway because of work. But I'm OCD with lip balm and hand lotion. I need a tube of each in every room. O_o
Anons, yup, it's getting close! My Mom's organizing a baby shower. My registries are made, my hospital forms filled out, and I have a carseat and a pediatrician. :) (I don't know how it is anywhere else, but in NY they don't let you take your baby out of the hospital unless you have a carseat installed, and a pediatrician signed up.)
What I don't have yet is a nursery. UGH. I ran out of flooring and then they discontinued the kind I was using. What a mess!
11:04, there are definitely days when I'm going "OMG what have I done? How can I be a mother? Think of all the ways I'm going to screw this up!"
Then, other times, I just want to meet him. ^_^
Kapunua you are going to be a fantastic mother!
Don't worry about screwing up.
I just want to meet him. ^_^
I bet when you see him you will fall in love :)
Boy, what I would give to be in London to see this!!!

JOhn, I'm only DANcing...
lol
It's surprising that David Bowie isn't on this list considering how long he's been around. Elvis not being on the list is another surprise.

Babies so sooo gorgeous, particularly after they're bathed :)
For all the challenges of being a huge public figure, David Bowie raised a fine man.
His son Duncan appears to be an intelligent, funny and caring man.

Hiya guys, how are you all?
Hiya Welshie sweetie.
So sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope the neighbour dispute is sorted.
That's so sad about your friend's mum. 52 is no age, it feels all wrong doesn't it? I hope your friend is gonna be ok. You've just gotta be there for each other.
Sis and boyfriend are checking out wedding venues. I hope that they settle for the one they are visiting on Saturday. Harewood House, they have penguins you can pose with. She shouldn't have told me cos now I can't picture a wedding that doesn't have penguins.
Misty, yeah, the handwashing, oh man. I have to wash my hands a ton anyway because of work. But I'm OCD with lip balm and hand lotion. I need a tube of each in every room. O_o
I pity you K with the handwashing but I can match you with the lip balm, I use it ALL the time. I have a thing about not liking the feel of water on my hands. I do enough to wash them when they need it and that is that. I take a book in the bath so I hold that and don't have to submerge my hands.
What are we like? Takes all sorts I suppose.
Time's getting close for you now. That is a bummmer about the nursery flooring. I hope you manage to get that sorted soon. I imagine you'll feel a lot better once the nursery is done.

The Bowie exhibition looks amazing doesn't it Anon? I've seen the pics in the papers. Unfortunately, I have no plans to go at the mo. I have no plans to do anything till this stupid foot is better.
Will you be going? I'd hope that in the future they do a similar exhibition with Freddie Mercury outfits, I'd love that.
There's a picture of my Auntie Anne from when she is younger and she has this dodgy hairdo and she's pulling a face and she looks just like David Bowie. I always ask her how she managed to pull off this look LOL.
What a pity Miss T, hope your foot gets better so you can go :)

Now to listen to some great TRANCE!!!

Finished. Over. Kaput. Histoire.
So long and goodnight.
The end.
Wrong blog 8:23.
I think people here will be interested. All 3 of them. Lol.
Tumblr is going ballistic.
Now listening to B.B.E. - Seven Days And One Week (Club Mix)
purrfection :)
9:14 you must be talking about the voices in your head ^_^
Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We’ve gotten to go places we never knew we would. We’ve been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We’ve shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends. And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure.
My Chemical Romance
Like, who cares?
Like, ever hear of schadenfreude, 9:21?
Oh God, tumblr is too funny tonight. Poor little fangirls. I hope nobody gets hurt.
After all the bullshit that happened when people tried to express their anger here, why would it be any different for their fans to have feelings of their own 9:24/25?
It's human to feel things and vent.
Let them be.
Sorry, 9:33. I'm going to enjoy this along with a lot of other people. How about you mind your own business?
I just saw this on Twitter and I have to say, I'm LOLing my head off. I know they'll still be the same exact gross, sexist, racist a-holes they always were, but at least maybe they'll be quieter ones from now on.
I just saw this on Twitter and I have to say, I'm LOLing my head off.
Me too. This has been coming for a long time. It couldn't have happened to a bigger bunch of assholes.
Yeah...
So Kapunua, how are things going?
All packed and ready?
Well it rains and it pours when you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes?
Cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave this alone
You're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode
Like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band
Bye bye MCR. Thanks for the music. It's been a pleasure.
I hope MCR are gone for good. It's always a good thing when sexist/racist people fall off the public's radar.
Good riddance.
Good riddance is right. I hope they stay gone.
9:48, oh gosh, I am so far behind on everything. I have baby clothes and a carseat...? Baby shower isn't for another month. Hopefully after that, everything will settle down in time. :)
Look alive, sunshine.

Oh my goodness far too many lols for me tonight!
Kapunua as soon as you find out his head is down I recommend that you get the bag packed.
I did, and luckily for me as he arrived 3 weeks too early!
First babies usually come late. Mine was two weeks past her due date, and the doctor was planning to induce on the next Monday morning. Luckily, she decided to make her arrival on Saturday morning. :D
My second was born exactly on his due date.
My Chemical Romance saved lives. Their music and their message brought comfort to those in need, helped outsiders feel a little less alone, shepherded the meek through the darkness and into the light. I know, all of that seems contrived, and perhaps too easy, but it's true. The relationship between MCR and their fans was unlike any I've witnessed in the decade-plus I've been covering rock, and I have the feeling that it will only carry on; the band may be gone, but their songs survive.
Did MCR change the world? Maybe. Did they change lives? Absolutely. I have no empirical evidence to back up that claim, and I probably don't need it. That's intangibility for you ... sometimes, you've just got to believe. If you are in mourning today, chances are you agree with me. My Chemical Romance is dead; long live My Chemical Romance.

Poor JMont. He had such a hard-on for Gerard. I imagine these will be dark days for him.
But for so many of us, this is a day to celebrate!
Triple lols at "the wife"

Not always. Mine couldn't wait ;
J. Mont has a hard on for everyone from Brendon Urie to Jared Leto to Gerard Way to Pete Wentz to your favorite. The man has been around and he does know music.
Who cares 12:41? Move on.
boy o boy o boy :)
Massive lols all round!
Jesus God. Just read Gerard's "bird story and wtf? So much horseshit.
I feel like I just read some bad fanfic. What a narcissistic tool.
^"bird story"
yeeeap
ah-ha
and LOL!
In future years to come it will be known as the tale of the "BS".
;
I wonder if he did that intentionally. "B.S." stands for Bird Story bullshit.
Anyway, it seems as if the rumors of him being back on drugs again were true. "Bad habits" and "self damage" he called it. Of course he says he's clean now, but doesn't he always say that?
I can't believe I ever liked that band of assholes.
Well lucky for me then 10:38, I never listened to their music :)
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about

has anyone gone on Mayo's yet to see if they're using the old posts to collectively freak out? Might be funny.
On the other hand maybe not funny. Some of them were pretty dangerously attached and delusional. Who was the one who gave up her life to follow them on tour, was that OPJ or Elena? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Toujours
It was Toujours. OPJ was the one who thought she had a relationship with Frank, and Elena was the one who wrote hundreds of pages worth of porn about Gerard where Lyndsey was an evil whore and he ended up having sex with Elena instead.
One of the nicest things about having a baby son is the way he gets all excited, smiles and waves his little arms and legs when he sees his mummy :)
You have to admit,it was alot of fun. The old days of MCR. Mayo,Eliza,the people who claim to have dated him:)
It was fun until it wasn't. When people started going honestly crazy because they thought they were talking to Gerard. People uprooting their lives to follow a band to see if he was a secret blogger. Delusional secret messages to and from the guitarist. People getting hurt in real life because of these people's obsessions with these rock stars.
They attracted fans who were certifiably insane. You can expect that behavior from children and pre teens, but not adults. That's when it got scary.

Though the band might have been perceived by some as having less relevancy in later years, My Chemical Romance will have staying power. In 10 years’ time, MCR will still be remembered

perceived by some as having less relevancy in later years
lol
Regardless of what comes next, the legacy created by Gerard Way and his bandmates will continue years down the road ^_^
In 10 years’ time, MCR will still be remembered whereas some of its faceless rivals on the alt and rock charts (bands like The Dirty Heads and My Darkest Days, for instance) would be lucky to be answers to the rock music portion of trivia night.
Whether My Chemical Romance wanted to be at the forefront of this culture, the band kind of unwillingly ended up being one of the torch carriers. Though the culture found its first mainstream success musically with Jimmy Eat World’s platinum-selling Bleed American, the success of MCR and Fall Out Boy on a national stage allowed acts like Paramore, Panic! At the Disco and more “emo” bands to have a lane in the mainstream,

http://music-mix.ew.com/2013/03/25/my-chemical-romance-break-up/
Which one of you posted this comment? lol
"Umm No
This is ridiculous. The band was one of the most sexist, racist, ignorant groups out there. Their entire "We support minorities and women and LGBT community!" crap was proven false by their various and numerous hateful, racist, violent Tweets that they sent out to fans over the years.
And this was a "mature" break up? Really? I guess you missed the thing about Mikey Way cheating on his wife with a 19 year old fan who had stalked him since she was 15. Especially the part where he stole his wife's engagement ring to give to the new little missy. LOL.
I don't know why people are rambling on about their age difference. Haven't they the same age gap as their close friend and his wife?
And you don't really know what happened in their personal life so it's all speculation.
@ 2:11, jimmy and chantal? age difference, not important imo
lol
How many times did BC change her name? 5? 6? lol
Didn't Gerard, back in the day, have something to say about if one of them were gone the band would be over? Or maybe I'm too hazy on my MCR, I haven't listened to much Gerard has had to say in a long while. And...would anyone know why Bert McCracken has coincidentally ditched the internetz? Too many foolish questions about his exBFF?
I thought Bert just had a kid?

Still talking about them? LOL.

Gerard is learning to play guitar so he can join assless self indulgence. We called it all along!
PropertyOfZack confirmed in a new interview yesterday with James Dewees (The Get Up Kids, Reggie And The Full Effect) that he and Frank Iero (ex-My Chemical Romance) have started a new electronic-hardcore band called Death Spells.
James: I have this other thing going with Frank from MCR called Death Spells. We’re opening up for Mindless Self Indulgence in two or three weeks. It’s more like an electronic-hardcore project. We’ve been working with a visual graphics artist and he’s been making these insane videos for us. The music is al little more intense than what MCR was or Reggie. It’s more in the vein of Ministry and stuff like that.
Remember when people thought Frank didn't like MSI? That he was all broken up about Gerard's marriage (enough to make a sooper sekrit blog about it)?
LMFAO
Boy, were those people deluded.
For almost 6 years now I
have become profoundly aware that I have been cursed by @lusciousjckson.
It took over a decade to kick in but when it did, it hit hard and continues to do so. Well done ladies, I deserved it.
Saw you play in NYC in 96. My obsession with the Beastie Boys led me to your music, and truthfully I was a fan of your work . When I had the opportunity to see you guys live I jumped at the chance .
But not to see you.....
I went only to catch a glimpse of a Beastie Boy. I had a fantasy I would bump into them on the street, make eye contact with them in the venue. Maybe they would play a song?!
I mean, you guys were like best friends, why wouldn't they?
Naturally, none of that happened and I left feeling disappointed. Which is crazy because I knew what I was doing was wrong. My obsession with the Beastie Boys had turned me into a thoughtless, disrespectful idiot.
@lusciousjckson, I AM SORRY!
What I did to you was so super lame. Years later karma rolled in and has made it so I think about you almost everyday. I am a bass player in a band that has been touring for over 13 years. 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.
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.
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.
Please @lusciousjckson, free me from your curse. I've learned my lesson ten thousand times over.
It's time and I'm begging.
