i cannot stop myself
May. 18th, 2008 08:57 amMy serious LOL moments in the last twelve hours:
1. While we were sitting in the theater before Prince Caspian started last night, I complained about the over-air-conditioned-ness and pulled on my Black Parade hoodie. MrIris asked about the MCR concerts, and somehow we got around to the fact that the MSG show was the last of the tour, and that was their last tour for a while. Somehow, he hadn't quite caught on to that when I flailed about going. (More evidence that he zones when I talk about music or books he's not interested in; that's okay, I make appropriate noises when he talks about his video games, but mostly it's in one ear and out the other.)
When he asked why the hiatus, I ennumerated the various reasons band members have cited, ending with, "And they've all got married now except the drummer, so they probably want to spend time at home being, you know, couples."
I figured he'd get that, since we spent three years living 1200 miles apart.
His response? "I thought they were all gay."
OMG you guys, I about fell out of my chair laughing.
See, it is not just slashers with tin hats who buy into it!
2. My iTunes Shuffle took me from MCR's Welcome To The Black Parade to TheFive Four Of Us Are Dying by NIN. Dear Ray Toro, what would your superstitious mind tell you about that coincidence?
