mary was the type of girl / she always liked to fall apart

[themeletor]

so, I've gotta tell you, this whole being-ridiculously-sick thing is losing its novelty really fast. example: I just tried to put an apostrophe in its, and yesterday I typed "through" instead of "throw" in a fic and didn't notice it until a much later readthrough. bla bla bla normal mistakes -- that I don't usually make XD

anyway, dad was kind enough to deposit my paycheck on the way to work and after a nap or three I've managed to settle all of this month's finances, which that's always a hurdle for me (though often more psychologically than monetarily). I've also taken an aspirin because encroaching on 103 is just TOO HIGH FOR A FEVER, OKAY, and once that kicks in the plan is to take a shower and spend some time outside of the house getting other people sick XD (actually, I'm just gonna go buy Alexander Revisited, some more Fruit Breezers, and maybe some ginger ale).

I don't want to be so sick as to have to call Wendy again tomorrow. especially since I'm the only one in laundry on Fridays D:

.... *whine bitch bitch whine*

my sister brought the bug home and got my brother sick, and he got me sick, and I got my mom sick. I just hope my daddy doesn't get sick ;_; he's had enough of a hellish time having to deal with all of our sick crankiness~

I hope you feel better soon. Being sick sucks. :(

But yay! to Alexander Revisited. I have yet to procure my own copy. It's supposed to be the best out of the three different versions.

And a double yay!! to your subject line. Buddha for Mary. I love that song. I didn't know you were a 30 Seconds to Mars fan, but that's not a huge surprise on my end. I don't know a whole lot about most of the people on my friends list. Have you been a fan for long?

I hear you! I absolutely love 30 Seconds To Mars. I got to see them in concert in February and it was probably the best concert experience of my life.

I love this band.

thank you, darling. I do feel better now, and I'm sorry for the late reply.

it's definitely A MOVIE now, which is nice. and it's much more powerful, for that reason, also. definitely, definitely. but now I want to go back and get a version with all the shiny special features *dorkface*

DUUUUUDE. I've actually been a fan of 30 Seconds to Mars since like, what, 2004? early 2005, something like that. fell IN LOVE with their self-titled, was known to wander around public areas singing the chorus to Buddha for Mary, actually, which got some strange looks from little old ladies, yanno ... but shamefully didn't keep enough of an eye on them to be aware of A Beautiful Lie until last spring, when I listened to it and promptly despised it. ... I'm still not sure why I did that. I love it now. actually, my brother got a surprise copy free in the mail tonight (long story), and when I saw the cover out of the corner of my eye I kind of shouted and jumped up and down. oops.

I was a casual fan since 2005, until the release of A Beautiful Lie in which I became an active/huge fan. I like the sound of A Beautiful Lie so much more, probably because it's more simplistic, musically. And the theme of the album touched on some things that I've been going through so it was much more meaningful to me.

When I first heard the self-titled album in 2005, I was impressed by the vocals and the sound, but it wasn't something I was really interested in. I go through different phases of music and I think at the time I was into much different things, so while I liked the album, I didn't love it like I do now. Buddha for Mary is probably my favorite song on the album, followed closely by Capricorn.

It sucks that Matt's leaving the band. I really hope they continue making music. I know Jared Leto's said some things that make people worry about whether they'll make another album, but only time will tell.

I still haven't gotten to watch the new cut of Alexander. The Target store around here doesn't carry it so I'm probably going check a few more stores before just buying it online.

Wow this is a long comment, sorry about that. I'm glad you are feeling better. :)

THIS TIME IN ENGLISH!

the reason I loved the s/t was that it was a unique sound, casually incorporating yet entirely different from anything else I'd heard. my sister and I listened to it in the car on the drives to and from school (which was our music time), and went almost an entire month before switching CDs -- not because we were tired of it, but because we just *had* to keep moving on our journey of musical discovery (usually we burned a new car CD every week). Buddha for Mary stuck around for several mixes, though, as did ... Echelon, I believe, and Year Zero, and Capricorn, to lesser degrees. anyway, I was in a very experimental phase then -- I mean, I always am, but at that time crazy new shit was my musical raison d'etre -- and 30STM hit the spot so fucking perfectly.

I think what threw me so much about A Beautiful Lie was that I was expecting the self-titled -- that lush, precocious, almost cocky sound, with everything about revolutions and social wossname and bringing the future -- and instead I got a very introspective, very raw, poignant, very painful album. it was still extremely ballsy of them, which is what I adore about Jared and 30STM more than anything else, but ... I wasn't ready for it. it grated, aurally; it was "too much" -- to much emotional intensity, or something -- now that I think back on it, but I labeled it as stringent, simple, sold-out and "too little" instead. really, on the emotional tour-de-force level I'm still very much opening up to it, which is I think a part of my attachment to "The Kill" (aside from, you know, its musical awesome) -- I mean, if you read my other journal (I know you're on the list, but I also know you've been busy busy, so) you know that I'm presently going through some kind of "Remedial Emotions 101: Feelings Happen To Everybody, Even You," so yeah. no wonder I threw this album as far away from me as I could last spring XD

but the thing is, it's still ballsy; Jared's very ballsy, if one looks at it that way, for taking what's become a totally overcrowded arena and just saying "fuck you all; we're here, but not because it's cool -- just because it's where our music is." also, it really is beautiful. I mean, "The Kill" is a fucking waltz!

AHAHAHAH AND YOU THOUGHT *YOUR* COMMENT WAS LONG. PSH.
