About
Hi, I'm Amanda, I'm 17, and I live in the U.S. I'm basically really weird, but hey, weird is more interesting than normal, right?
My Chemical Romance has done so much for me, I love them waaaaay too much, because their music has helped me through some hard times and made me realize that I should just be me and not take shit from anyone.
Other bands I like:
Evanescence, Paramore,Green Day, Muse, Sick Puppies, Taking Back Sunday,Mindless Self Indulgence,Queen, Panic! at the Disco. . .and others i can't think of now. . .
Some of my favorite things include My Chemical Romance (obviously),Spongebob, ice cream, snow, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean. . . I'm also obsessed with this creature called el chupacabras. Its like the Mexican version of a vampire, except they're more like creatures than people, unlike vampires, and it is possibly real (but not likely
).
What I want everyone to know is that if you feel depressed, alone, confused, or just need to talk, I will. I'm not saying this to be nice or to get friends, I just feel like if I can't be happy, then other people should be happy. I was recently diagnosed with depression, so I just want to help other people who have similar issues, I know what it feels like to be alone and struggle with depression, so I don't want anyone else to ever have to feel that way. MCR has helped me so many times when I'm really in a rut and so does INO. You guys have been really helpful to me, so thank you!
I really believe that talking to people is one of the best things to help with depression. I'm not a big fan of using meds, because you can't just cure mental illnesses like depression. Its something you have to live with and learn to get over. I agree with Gerard on this, I feel that taking medication takes away from who you are and you lose touch with how you actually feel. If you learn to live with it, and overcome it yourself, then it makes you that much stronger.
Ok here's some random quotes I like!
"Gentlemen, I wash my hands of this weirdness"- Jack Sparrow
"The inner mechanisms of my mind are an enigma."- Patrick, from Spongebob
"At last- my arm is complete again!"-Sweeney Todd (heheh that part is so cheesy)
"Some say silence is golden but I choose noise."-Blake Lewis
"Anything is better than to be alone."- Lithium, Evanescence
"I'm still waiting for the rain to fall. Pour real life down on me. Because I can't hold on to anything this good enough. Am I good enough for you to love me too?"- Good Enough, Evanescence
Alright, listen up people. Homophobia is not okay. People need to stop being so close-minded. Maybe if we just let two people be in love, and give them the rights they deserve, regardless of their sex, and stop spreading hate, we could all get along better.
Alrightyz the rest is all about My Chemical Romance!
These five guys are so fucking amazing, I love 'em to death. Not only does their music sound awesome, but it makes me feel better, gives me hope, and without them, I don't think I could have made it through some things without seriously hurting myself or doing something stupid. And not to mention, these guys actually have a message, which I admire so much, because a lot of singers/bands these days don't have one. This sounds cliche, but they truly are my heroes. They inspire me so much and I have a ton of respect for them, especially Gerard, since he's been through all kinds of shit, and now he's using it to help kids who are going through similar things. If MCR ever reads this even though I'm pretty sure they never will, I would just want to say, thank you. Thank you so much for actually caring about your fans, for making me feel less alone, and for helping me through all the times I've felt depressed, angry, or just plain psychotic. What really gets me, is Famous Last Words. Its so powerful, and its amazing how those 8 simple words, "I am not afraid to keep on living" can instill so much hope into a person. Without that song, I really think that I would have never even tried to get myself help, and I would have wanted to stay miserable forever. No, they didn't "save my life" but I always have their music to fall back on and make me feel like someone cares. I listen to it so much that sometimes I'm afraid I will wear their songs out and and will someday hate them. (Noooooooooo!) But then I turn the music on and I know that there is no way I will ever get sick of this because MCR means so much to me, something about their music just makes me happy, makes me feel complete. It doesn't matter what the media or anyone else says about them being an emo cult or whatever ridiculous bull they come up with next, because me and all the other fans know that My Chem always have been anti-suicide, so we're gonna "stand up fucking tall" xD.
Favorite MCR Quotes!
Gerard Way
"All your quirks, all your problems, even your depressions and failures, that's what make you YOU and there's a lot of drugs out there that'll take that away from you."
"When this stops being special, when we becomes part of the problem, it'll be time to quit. It could happen next record or five records from now. When this stops meaning something, we'll all walk away."
"It tastes like somebody stole my wallet, ya know?"
"Oh yeah. People think we’re fucking loaded just because we got all this bling on. Yeah, they think we’re all rich vampires!"
"Be yourself, don’t take anyone’s shit, and never let them take you alive."
"Your going to come across a lot of shitty bands, and a lot of shitty people. And if anyone of those people call you names because of what you look like, or because they don’t accept you for who you are, I want you to look right at that motherfucker, stick up your middle finger, and scream FUCK YOU!"
"I aint cool, you aint cool, no one on this motherfucking stage are cool.
And we are all uncool together..
AND THATS THE WAY WE FUCKING LIKE IT!"
"Suicide is a serious thing. And if you know anyone who is suicidal, you need to get them help. No one should be in pain. Everyone should love themselves. Like I love you all.". . .Awwwwwh :]
Mikey Way
"It’s the mantra of the band. Kids would say they were going to kill themselves, then they heard our music. It’s great when you can impact someone like that. It’s our mission."
"This band is metal in that we have a lot of metal in our instruments, and there’s quite a lot of metal on my belt buckle as well."
"We’re very attractive to them because we dress like homeless people."
"Yeah, I’m kind of upset that I’m going to die tomorrow."

Frank Iero
Frank: *Starts to climb into casket*
Ray: Are you showing your butt!? No you aren't getting in there! *Pulls Frank out and lets him down*
Frank: *Tries to climb in again*
Ray: NO!
Gerard: Guys! Don't knock it off!!
"When we were younger, me and Gerard used to throw Mikey of the porch. Good times, man."
"If you don't listen, you're never gonna learn."
Ray Toro
"Rock is becoming stale. Lets put the fun back!"
"Frank was actually too short to carry the casket, so it was all of us. Thanks Frank. He's nappin' right now."
Bob Bryar
"What sticks out in my mind when we play are kids just breaking down and crying in the front row. Perhaps that happens to a lot of bands... but it's different for us. The music brings out the shit in them. It's a release."
"People think that moose are really gentle and goofy but they aren't; they're fucking animals."

Just hanging out, doing nothing in particular :)
It's snowing here x]
The Sperminator, December 31st, 2009 at 02:37:37pm
You have a beautiful profile. you seem like a really genuine person...so hello. (: I'm Beth.
lennon., December 24th, 2009 at 09:19:19pm
Hello, random n00b here :)
*Waves*
How're you?
The Sperminator, December 19th, 2009 at 01:39:42pm
I suppose its becuase we're here for the same thing and thats why most people are nice to eachother. I know what you mean by the jerks. Im on this site called greendaycommunity and there are some people that you have to be weary of there too. and im glad that you're doing great. :)

I really like INO.. I figure it'll keep me halfway sane until their new CD comes out.. I keep telling myself that the wait only means it will rock my socks off without taking off my shoes, but it doesn't really help that much haha.. I've only actually gotten to read certain parts of AP as of right now, but I already love it.. I found some online scans on one of the message boards on the MCRmy website and deciphered it.. Its rather sad actually.. The only store anywhere around me that sells it is Hot Topic and the closest one of those to me is an hour & a half away so I have to wait until I can make a special trip.. :(

Ah, god knows I do. I've played therapist for friends; family; and at certain times, my other personalities. And damn; I've been a big pain for a lot of people, too.
So I see where you're coming from, and it's a common road, between us XD
By the way; My name is Andrew.
But call me Ren; It's more or less my common identity, anyways.
(And also the prevalent name I base myself off of.)
CemeteryBelowTheSea, December 3rd, 2009 at 03:26:28am
I love it. xD I still have to look around more though. and its ok. hows you? :)
Razzel Dazzel :D, December 2nd, 2009 at 07:00:12pm
I love your profile, its so cool! I know exactly what you mean when you talk about My Chem.. They are so much more than a band to me....they didn't truly save my life, but they're kinda like my saviors.. They keep me from falling into depression again.. The people I talk to about them just look at the pictures and read the words, and don't understand just how one band can bring someone so much joy..lol now I'm getting all fuzzy.. >_< .. Anyway, I'm adding you haha..
Love It Or Leave It, December 1st, 2009 at 07:38:28pm
Its actually heartwarming to see such a selfless remark about depression; just letting peoplle vent. Being diagnosed with Narcism and bipolar rapid simplex; I can kind of relate. There's a lot of people I depended on, when I was finally diagnosed. I sort of went psycho too. But for the people here; outcasts in their towns, feeling alone and secluded? Well, if I come across such souls; I'll surely know where best to direct them.
CemeteryBelowTheSea, December 1st, 2009 at 06:17:11am
Same here!!! I had nobody to talk about it to though. Until now!
ScreamingRevenge, July 16th, 2009 at 04:24:02am
Yeah its pretty cool I wanted somewhere to talk about MCR and it looks like ive found it haha.
ScreamingRevenge, July 2nd, 2009 at 04:23:38pm
chupacabras are scary. :(
Warski fan, June 28th, 2009 at 09:24:00pm
No you didnt over kill at all.
But im sorry to tell you el chupacabra mean's the devil or demon in mexican. Haha
Well that's what dexter said.
