Jul. 19th, 2011 10:07 amA few days ago on twitter
annemaris was talking about Alexa Meets My Chemical Romance, a half hour MTV interview with Mikey and Gerard. She'd taken notes and said some things that made me really want to see, and found out it was repeated this Saturday. In the meantime I've been looking for it on You Tube, and finally there's a copy. A dubious quality one videoed from a TV but it's watchable, if you too want to hear talk about Mikey's wedding. Sadly it's only half of the show so I'll have to wait for the rest. Which sucks because I want to see Gerard say how he's protective of Mikey.
If anyone knows where to get a better copy or the second half, could you let me know?
ETA: Part 2 is posted in comments over at the LJ post.
I need to go out now but before that, fanfic meme.
27 – Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
I write at my desk on my desktop computer. I never write by hand and in fact can only really write when I'm at my own set up, in gdocs, with all my usual add ons and keyboard that feels right under my fingers. When I've tried other times it just doesn't feel right and I get at most a few sentences, because I'm just that set in my ways.
ETA: Had to come back and note down the most insane dream I meant to talk about. Due to his shifts James is often awake long after me so watches TV in bed, but what he also does is talk to me even though I'm half asleep. Last night he was watching the US version of celebrity apprentice, and was telling me that Gene Simmons from Kiss was in it, and somehow in my brain that turned to William Beckett was talking part. I had to Google this when I woke up, even though I was pretty sure that if William had been on the Apprentice that fandom would have told me so.
But really, William selling hot dogs, the fuck, brain?

That's such a bizarre dream!

I blame James for the dream. He keeps telling me stuff when I'm half awake and then I wake the next day thinking, the hell? Like the ferrets, he said we should have some and I woke up thinking about them and wasn't sure why at first.

Date: 2011-07-28 03:03 am (UTC)BTW, if I'm not mistaken, Alexa also interviewed Gerard and Frank the day of their iTunes festival gig. I remember that because she asked him how long it had been since they had taken a shower. Gerard told her that it'd been something like two days. And then, Frank was all "well, we've got the choice to take a shower after we're done with this interview, but we're not going to."
ANYHOO, thankies for pointing this interview out, Terri. I really dig seeing Gerard and Mikeyway getting interviewed together since it seems to relax Mikeyway enough to answer questions without doing his usual poker face.
Also, that was one groovy dream! (And, yes, had William been in any kind of reality show, EVERYONE would have heard about it by now. Such is the reach of Bandom. *g*)

You're welcome! Do you have dancinbutterfly friended on LJ? She's awesome and asked Mikey about his poker face and said what he replied in her comic con report. Seems he doesn't like his crooked teeth which is such a shame.

Date: 2011-07-30 05:47 pm (UTC)I'm actually kinda not surprised by Frank's 'shower whatever'. From what I've seen, the idea of him being a clean freak is more fanon-based than anything else. OR, it could be that he can be relaxed about it because, compared to the Way brothers, he's deffo a cleaner person. I dunno, really. *g*
I haven't friended her, but I'm going to right now. :)
Also, Mikeyway being all /o\ about his crooked teeth makes me go awwwww! *pets him*

Date: 2011-07-19 02:44 pm (UTC)4 critically acclaimed albums but only three shown, LOL. Are they really called the voice of a generation? Wow. Planet's biggest band? ....
WE"RE IN A TIME MACHINE. Oh Mikeyway, ILU.
Gerard couldn't play and sing at the same time. LOL (Mikeyway, no he's really good! ... I need proof Mikeyway.)
"we can't curse on this show can we?"
I couldn't sing, I couldn't play bass yet.... man I love the Bullets album.
I love that disclaimer on the Three Cheers record. I totally pirated your record Gerard! (i'm not even lying...)
Mikey do you ever get to talk? :-(
Oh there you are! You weren't a kid when Jimmy Eat World came out, Mikey. Unless you've suddenly become my age.
Aw they love their early videos best.
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. STAR WARS GEEKS, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Where's your Star Wars fanfiction Gerard?
Oh I forgot how pretty Mikey is in the Teenagers video.
Mikey got married backstage! Gerard copied him! LOL --- Mikey totally made up what she was wearing.
