I'm Not Afraid ♡

Now today I have something a little more personal for you all.

As you may have seen across the social networking sites, My Chemical Romance have split up, not for a hiatus, this time for good.

I may not have mentioned these guys much since I started this blog but they still play an important part in my life. MCR are known for their huge fan base and dedicated fans - 'MCRmy' and yes I'm one of them. Also they are known as the band that 'will save your life' and for many people including myself, they did. They didn't literally 'save' me but everyone has dark and horrible times and in those this band picked me up and taught me to really love myself and to not give up. They changed me and made me the person I am today.

Now I was a late comer to the band, my brother originally was hooked on them and went to see them after the release of the Black Parade and I (now) am gutted I never went with him, at that one point I didn't know what an impact they would make. So I started to listen and I was hooked, it was the first albums that I really loved, just complete punk and it was amazing. 

However The Black Parade was the one for me, as a young teenager the album really spoke to me as it did to many other teenagers, it helped us fight our demons, we fought back! It told us not to give in and to never ever lose hope. Many of us know about what the lead singer faced and I thought it he can do it, so can I! However Danger days told me something, it was the end of an era. The band had grown up and they were all so damn happy! 

I know the band have had some really tough times and this last blow was it, it finally stopped them. But let me just say their music is amazing and will continue to be amazing. I have had the amazing pleasure of seeing these guys in the flesh twice, not only that but for my 15th birthday I had Mikey Way wish me and happy birthday (over the phone). I know people don't like him, including myself right now but I had the chance to speak to one of of my heroes. And, I took it.

Thanks guys for making your music, and making the last 12 or so years absolutely damn perfect. I don't listen to you as much as I did, but I'm going to go old school and miss you guys a hell of a lot!

I was just so close.

2 Songs

10 Day 'You' Challenge

10 secrets // 9 places // 8 fears // 7 wants // 6 places // 5 foods

4 books // 3 films // 2 songs // 1 picture of yourself

Little apology first in this post. I'm sorry all I've been posting is this daft challenge. I've been terribly busy this week and haven't had time to do any 'normal posts'. I also have a job interview tomorrow(!!) and it's my result's day on Thursday so expect even more personal posts, again very sorry. After Thursday I will get down to the more beauty side of things here because hopefully I'll have money. Anyway on with the challenge! 

1. Rock the Casbah - The Clash.

God I love this song, I first heard it 'properly' on my first (illegal) night out and it's been one of my favorites ever sinc always it has a good memory of a fab night out for me, which is ever better :-)

2. This is a hard one but I'll pick Hope - The Blackout.

They are such a good band, full of amazing friendly members and always they are so damn good live! This song especially because well I just like it a whole lot. I adore acoustic music as well so I choose the acoustic version.

This was really hard because I haven't included some of my favorites bands like The Candle Thieves and such so if you want to know more chekc out my last.fm.

Also asking for a little advice here, can anyone help me with putting pictures side by side each other in a blog post? I do have some methods but their not all that great and well google's not much help either. So please?
