So I recently saw a bandom secret thing or whatever about people losing respect for anyone with a scene queen icon or layout. Which made me angry! And also sad. And made me want to talk about why I love Audrey Kitching. And made me want to address a few other things I've seen.

This is probably going to be really disjointed! Here is an outline of what I'm going to be talking about today (because I'm a big dork and also it might help you decide whether you're going to read it or not.)

-What I Mean When I Say I Love Scene Queens (And Bandom People In General)
-Why I'm Not Saying You're A Bad Feminist If You Don't Love Them
-Why I Think You Kind of Suck If You Think Being a Groupie Makes You A Bad Person

( *takes a deep breath* )

That was basically just an unfocused rant, and while there's always more I'm willing to say about these girls, this is where I'm going to leave it. I know I don't ever get my point across the way I want to, but basically what I'm saying is: this is why I'm able to love scene queens, and while I never need for anyone on my flist to feel the same way, I kind of ridiculously want everyone to remember that these girls are just people. Just like anyone else. And I always want to try to make people examine their opinions and think about what they're saying or why they think a certain way. That's nice too!

And going back to the thing that started all of this, I really really hope that everyone on my friends list doesn't lose respect for me because of the way I feel about scene queens. That would make me the saddest Shay ever.

So sometimes Kala does a meme and I'm like "....I wanna do it." WELL. She did two today, and I'm apparently a horrible copycat, because I did them too. SORRY, BUT NOT REALLY.

( A meme that has everything to do with the number 7. Which is my favorite number in the WORLD, and I was clearly meant to do it. )

And then there was this music meme.

Comment on this post and I'll give you a band/artist. You put your ten favorite songs by that band/artist on your lj and/or in reply to the comment, then challenge others to do the same.

( Kala gave me Something Corporate! )

P.S. Alex Suarez is the coolest fucking dude ever. Fact.

Hellloooooo there, fellow bandslash lovers. I do believe it is time for Part Two of the Pimp!Spam of INSANITY. (Truly sorry for the delay, but dudes. This one was a MONSTER.)

For anyone who missed it, Part 1 is here. Once again, this is all for orangesky33 and sensations.

Without further ado....I present:

( The Academy Is... )

In all seriousness, I hope you guys enjoyed this. It took for freaking ever and might ACTUALLY be longer than my FOB spam.

(What this means for the next few parts, I shudder to think).

( At any rate, have some music )

Tune in tomorrow for Pete's ultimate discovery in the form of four tiny emo boys from Las Vegas. (And the ARRIVAL OF JON WALKER!)



(Bonus: I uploaded the DVD of My Heart Will Always Be The B-Side To My Tongue for citibyrd and I thought I'd share it with the rest of y'all.)

If the links expire, don't hesitate to ask for a reupload! I'm more than happy to do it :D
