you only hear the music when your heart begins to break

So yesterday I saw this band! By which I mean themeletor and I took a road trip, collected oliviacirce along the way (and met up with were_duck too, but after the concert) and went to Chicago to see My Chemical Romance. These three ladies have been educating me in the ways of bandom for the past ... oh, few months? so I knew enough to be entertained by Mikey's sparklebass, and Frank's shirt that had an F on it (y'know, just in case he needed to remember his name or something?), and watch for the bits where Ray rocked guitar solos. I kind of knew what was going on! And could sing along to the songs! I can't actually say what the set list was, but that's probably because I was distracted by Gerard's faaaace. And by 'face' I mean 'pants.'

Um, basically I had an excellent time? I screamed myself hoarse and jumped around a lot, and for afters went dazedly to a diner to have breakfast at midnight, and Mel drove us back home like a goddamn superhero, and I went to bed at 4:30. So I have no idea what I am doing by being awake again now, and I am not sorry for being kind of inarticulate.

Time for hot cocoa and basking! That is the thing I do after concerts, I guess.

Oh my god, GERARD. I think he might have ruined me for other faces, hips, and hair.

They aren't coming to my town until MAY. MAY.

[aria]

Haha. I do not blame you!

Aw, I am sorry! On the other hand, it is something glorious to look forward to. :D

Hurrah. I have been slowly escalating in my bandom love over the last few months, and it tipped over into full-on obsession... last week? I don't know, all I know is that it is exploded right now, and I'm excited to have more friends who are in the honeymoon stage of the fandom rather than the comfortable married stage.

[aria]

YES. I mean, mine is a pretty chill honeymoon, but Olivia has promised (threatened?) to send me all the fic recs, so we shall see.

♥♥♥

[aria]

NO YOU. ♥!

[were_duck]

:D :D :D I am soooooo glad you had all that fun, buddy! I would be sorry I wasn't there with you, but I just cannot regret being in the pit, I am sorry! CLOSE UP PANTS. ALSO HIS FACE I AM SORRY BUT HIS FAAAAACE!!!

I can't believe I am a functioning adult today jfc.

Heyyyyyy want to have lunch tomorrow?

[aria]

It is okay! I do not begrudge you the pit! I am delighted you had a blast and such a good view down there. <333

I would love to have lunch tomorrow! Olivia and I also have nebulous plans to hang out, but I assume that if she also turned up for lunch that would be okay? Anyway, what time would you like to do this thing?

[were_duck]

Sure! Well, I will have lunch sometime around 2. Want me to meet you guys somewhere? I'm flexible probably about 15 minutes in either direction from 2pm, so. It will be my last chance for random lunch with you :(

[aria]

We have not made any concrete plans for tomorrow, since Olivia is still settling in and wants to confer with her folks, so let's just say I will be roundabouts State St a bit before 2, and we'll figure out where to meet via text? I'm sorry I do not have anything more specific yet!

And by 'face' I mean 'pants.'

AHAHA AWESOME. All of this sounds EXCELLENT. :D

[aria]

Tightest pants in the UNIVERSE. They were hypnotic! Also Gerard kept going upstage center during instrumental bits, turning his back to the audience, and wiggling.

In conclusion, VERY EXCELLENT.

[tei]

Hypnotic wiggling pants! I love that man so much.
