Get out of my tessitura, Gerard Way

[azaya]

In the interests of writing our Gerard Way/Marilyn Manson RPS fic, pooklet sent me some My Chemical Romance to rape my ears with listen to. And something horrible happened: I didn't completely hate it. In fact, I can't stop singing it. Mostly because I haven't done much singing in about two years and as such my once fairly limber voice ("I COULD SING HIGH E!" she yells frantically) is reminescent of a boy going through puberty. The songs are right in the bottom-middle of my range, so that aside from the inherent awfulness of the songs they don't sound so bad when I sing them.

Fuck you, Gerard Way. Give me back my tessitura.

More importantly, I made up a list of things I am doing/need to do, sims-wise, and am posting it so that I can keep track of it and people can poke me if they see something interesting on it that I haven't gotten to yet.



- base game versions of Dining in Dreamland (easy but SO BORING.)
- ugly_kitties's records DONE AND IT WAS SOUL-CRUSHING.
- fix that fucking knitting mesh and recolor it
- other extracted bits, namely, decide which to do and do them
- track down the texture file of the pool table trick cup (IT HAS TO BE THERE SOMEWHERE)
- finish Big Damn Furniture List for Pooklet
- alpha edit hair for Camille (related: select hair to alpha edit for Camille)
- books? You said you were going to do some, do them.
- resize Mirake's mesh, make it a new object, slave it to the original (LOLYEAHRIGHT) holy shit did it
- OMSPS for all the important things (Gelydh's boxes stacked on coffee table for instance, why isn't there one that fits that anyway?)
- read up on hair meshing to hack that bun off the Rose mesh (related: fail at hair meshing)
- figure out what the fucking problem is with the TV mesh because it was an awesome idea
- more jewelry?
- LEARN TO REPOSITORY, IT'S NOT THAT HARD, IDJIT Thanks to gelydh for her tutorial and patience.

Actually, MCR initially wanted to be like the Misfits but have more metaphorical lyrics. There was another band Gerard threw in there, but I can't remember the name. It's been a while since I've seen the interview.

It's those damn teenagers that messed everything up. DAMN KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!

I blame AFI. And Good Charlotte.

You're absolutely right, it isn't really the fault of MCR. "Emo is bullshit," is a very accurate statement given the circumstances of what popular culture now regards as "emo music".

Oh my stars and garters, who described Good Charlotte as emo? Where are they? CAN I HIT THEM?

[sixtylilies.livejournal.com]

Personally I would just describe Good Charlotte as 'fail'.

I can't remember. I don't think I talk to them anymore either, so no loss there!

Oddly, I do remember when emo was called 'emotional music' instead and most of it was indie/hipster stuff. Before the scene-kid shit. Back in the day when livejournal was still in control of Brad Fitzpatrick and we didn't have tags. *shakes cane* I don't remember any band names though since it was a girl on a long lost flist that was into it.

"Emotional Hardcore" is what it was.

You remember when making an LJ required an invite code? Yeah. Those were the days.

*listens to Braid, Rainer Maria, Cap'n Jazz and puts her teeth in a glass full of water*

Yeah. XD I remember when they were put in and when they were taken out. I think I can find a journal or two from back then that I don't remember the passwords for anymore.
