piratesunk: (MCR - Ink)
Yesterday, I got my new tattoo(s). I went to The Family Business in London which is a magical place and met with my artist, Steve Vinall. He showed me a couple of things he had been working on for me and then we got started.

Almost three hours later, this is what came out:
You only live forever in the lights you make )

So there. You have the meaning behind this tattoo.


I am not going to make a lengthy/ranty comment on Pedicone's departure from MCR. You all know I love that guy. Yes. I still do. He made a huge mistake (cue GOB in Arrested Development).
I'm just disappointed this ended so badly for everyone involved. The end of a friendship is always devastating.
I feel sad for Frank, Gerard, Mikey, Ray and Pedicone too, but now it's time to move on.
I can't wait to see who their next touring drummer will be.


Speaking of blog posts, I read Gerard's this morning and he was right. I just saw Fright Night and it was awesome. It wasn't anything like the original but it was a very enjoyable movie.

Off to watch Attack The Block now :) Moviiiiieeessss!

Today is the last day of another 7-day work week. I am exhausted but happy because tomorrow, I am off for two consecutive days. Also, tomorrow, I am getting a TATTOO \o/

I've been waiting for this since I got my first one back in 2009 in Jersey.

My appointment is at noon tomorrow and it should take a couple of hours. Then I WILL HAVE A BRAND NEW TATTOO OMG SO EXCITED I MIGHT DIE.

I'm treating myself to that because I've been working so hard and WHY THE HELL NOT?
Besides, my birthday is coming at the end of the month so I guess that will make this my little present to myself.


So many things have happened this week in bandom. There was Reading, Leeds and Rock en Seine. MCR were awesome or so I've heard. I did see most of Reading because I downloaded the feed. I haven't had time to watch all of it though. Work has been keeping me extra busy.

Then there was Frank writing about how much he loves his job and I teared up a little because he is my favorite human.
Today, Gerard wrote a blog about how much he loves Frank and his band. Then Ray twitted about a Robocop statue and the whole internet exploded with glee.


I need to make this short because I have to get ready for work and maybe get some food in me before I go.

But I wanted to tell you about an awesome BBB I just read. It's the asshole!Frank/asshole!Jamia one that was posted yesterday, I think. I kept he tab open so I could read it this morning.
Seriously, guys. It's the fic of my heart. I just love these assholes so much.

READ IT! (I mean, seriously. It's up to you. Maybe you're more into human taxidermy fic.)


To conclude, how are you doing? I miss the lot of you.

Sorry for being so shit at replying all your comments.
To answer everyone on my last post about the London riot, everything seems back to normal and my neighborhood wasn't affected after all. We do have a lot of police around but they're mostly here to make everyone feel safer.

I did see a police car on my street last night but I think they were just telling these two kids to go home.


Speaking of last night, I had a good time. Housemate!K and I drove to the cinema (K is still learning how to drive but I was her co-pilot and tried to be as encouraging as possible) and we saw Harry Potter. I had seen it before but K hadn't and I wanted to hang out with her.
We got a bit lost on our way back but managed to make it back home in one piece. There was a lot of high-fives and us being dorks.

The cinema is in a very nice area and it made me want to come back when I'll have a couple of days off, just to walk around.


Apparently, next week will be terrible. I caught a glimpse of the work rota and saw I was working for the next 7 days. I have the sneaking suspicion my manager is testing me or maybe punishing me for all the mistakes I make on a daily basis.

So today is my last day off until Saturday 20th. I think. I will need to see the rota again when I'm at work tomorrow, just to make sure.


This morning I bought a ticket to see Alkaline Trio in London in November. Anyone going? It would be nice to have a concert buddy for that one.


To conclude, this set is the most gorgeous and so is Frank's face:


more pretties )

Just leaving this here.



I am confused. I'm stuck between OUCH, poor bb Frank and OMG Frank, I love your back and your skin and your everything. Also, your face in the mirror and the pattern of the scratching. EVERYTHING.
piratesunk: (MCR - Tiny hotass)
So, I'm off today. My plans involve doing nothing at all and maybe get some writing done if I feel inspired enough.

I haven't written a word in over a week. It's the longest I've been away from fic in years.
I've looked through your comments at the hypothetical AU meme and seriously, you guys have the funniest answers.
I got requests for Marie-Antoinette, Roman, middle age, wizards, ancient Egypt, firefighters, ballet dancers, roller derby and MCR in Sunnydale. I would combine all of these in a giant fic made of crack if I could.
Anyway. Thanks for all the prompts. Too bad I have no idea what to say about these.
I had hoped the meme would unblock me but sadly, it didn't.
I am still the most blocked.
I signed up for this Big Bang a couple of days ago, hoping having a deadline will help. We'll see how it goes.

I think I already talked about it but next Sunday, I have an appointment with a tattoo artist at the most wonderful place in all of London. It's just a consultation for now, to talk about the hows and wheres but it's very exciting.
I'll be going there right after work, I think.

I'm sure you all saw that picture of FRANK ON A BIKE.


2 more! )

How is it the most amazing thing ever? He is tiny and hardcore and I want all of the fic where he is in a BMX gang with Bryan Kienlen of The Bouncing Souls. Who else would be in the gang? Let's discuss this.

LJ is giving me a varnish error of doom. Of course. It hasn't been back for more than a couple of days and it's still super wonky for me. Get your shit together, LJ! I am actually paying for a service you're not providing. REFUND!


Today, on Marie's Incredibly Lame Adventures, the train door on the tube closed on me and I hurt my wrist. I think it will bruised to shit tomorrow. I can barely type this without cringing. OH SELF. When you hear beeping, don't try and climb on the tube anyway. There is always another train.

I also dropped a heavy padlock on my foot and it's very painful. Seriously. What is it today with me hurting myself everywhere?

At least work was fine. It wasn't the greatest and it was busy and people were idiots as usual but at least it's over for today.
I have to go go back tomorrow though :(
Being a grown up is terribly overrated.

I bought something nice last week! Something just for me! A ticket to see The Get Up Kids in London \o/
I guess concert tickets and food is where all my money goes these days. This and rent.

Now, have a ridiculous picture with ridiculous faces.

Probably because today is the first day of my work week. I'm going to have the worst week so far, I can tell. It's not only because I still hates the job with a passion but because my schedule is all fucked and I'm going to have the least sleep I had in years. Maybe 4, 5 hours tops every night from Sunday to Thursday.

I know I partially asked for it. It's my fault for wanting to see the Bouncing Souls and requesting to be on the early shift. But still :( :( :(

I'm getting a Kellie in a few days and I still have to get so much things ready. My room looks like a pigsty and my side of the fridge is hopelessly empty. I hope you don't eat a lot, Kellie because I am a terrible host.

LJ is back but from now on, I'll crosspost everything.

The friending meme is still going strong so if you haven't been there yet and want to make new friends, just head over to my previous post and mingle.

Speaking of, HI NEW FRIENDS!


To make this post less whiny, have a picture of bb!MCR being babies.

You're very welcome.

This actually makes me want to read all of the early days fic. ALL OF IT.

Since LJ is down (DDoS attack...again), I decided to move the post I was intending to make there over here. I don't use DW a lot but I might have to move (since my fic journal is on DW) if all the cool kids are here.

Here's a little update no one will read since I have 2 people friended on this account.


Yesterday, I stumbled upon this old MCR interview from 2003 which is hilarious and full of awesome info, like how the guys were on this 7 hour drive and Frank forced Gerard to listen to the every single Bouncing Souls album because apparently, that's (almost) all Frank listens to when he's driving.
There is a copious amount of giggling and Mikey being Mikey.
It's pretty rad.










Let's talk about the rest in bullet points.

- I'm off work for 2 days. This means cleaning all the things before [livejournal.com profile] kidsxheroes comes on Monday for our Bouncing Souls gigs. I also need to do all the laundry and maybe order food so Kellie won't starve at my house.

- It looks like I'm going to have a very rough week. Sunday, I have the late shift which means I'm going to get home at midnight and I have the early shift for the rest of the week which means I'll have to get up at 5am. Less than 5 hours of sleep for 4 days in a row? Of course I can do it. Right? Hmm. FML

- Work continues to be shit. Yesterday was not as bad as the rest of the week because we weren't too busy but seriously. This job will be the end of me. People are the worst. One of my managers is having the worst week too because we have NO ROOMS LEFT and HOW ARE WE GOING TO CHECK IN PEOPLE IF WE DON'T HAVE ROOMS? GOD DAMNIT! Yeah. That's why last week was terrible.

- I claimed a summary for art and started reading the story this morning. I already doodled something. Not going to lie, it won't be super great. I might ink it and take a picture of it since I don't have a scanner here.

- My story got claimed for both art and mix, and now, I'm really nervous that no one will like it and WHY DID I WRITE IT?


Ok. Now I better find something to write. My brain is so fucking dead right now.
