Eeee! Birthday!!!

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS! to [livejournal.com profile] fajrdrako!!!

Ideally, I would have got Gerard Way to sing Happy Birthday to you, but MCR being on hiatus, you know... Instead, here's the clip with the "Thirty's the new twenty." "For trees!" exchange between Gerard and Frank. :D

Have a fantastic day filled with all the things you enjoy - and may the next year be wonderful too! ::HUGS::

Tricky; I will imagine him singing, virtually.

Thanks so much - big hug!

(Your pressie is waiting for me a home, still unopened. Whee! Stuff to look forward to!)

I'd sing - but I'm not sure you really want me to. ;)

::more hugs::

We can both sing - there's no way your rendition of Happy Birthday could be worse than mine. [g]

I've been doing a lot of singing along - loudly if not tunefully - to MCR lately. There are only a few sections of the odd song to which I don't know the words, or so I thought till I realised yesterday that I really wasn't that familiar with Bury Me In Black from Life on the Murder Scene. It was almost like having new material!

I do think Gerard is an inspired lyricist. Very often, they're just obscure enough - he has said that he doesn't like to spell everything out in lyrics - to be tantalisingly allusive. And the words flow well, with the stresses and rhymes in the right places, and mesh well with the music too. Oh yes, I'm smitten. :)

Talking of new music, you did see that I posted The Attic Demos here (http://rosiespark.livejournal.com/82717.html)? It's quite fun playing the demo followed by the album version of each song. Well, I think it's fun. *g*

Oh, and one more:

I could go on. Except that the hour grows late and I need to go to bed. Hmm, I still owe you that long-promised picspam, don't I? Hmm. My MCR pic collection is really quite impressive. :)

I opened my parcel from you - eeeeeeeeeeee! thank you! Guess what I am now listening to while looking at your gorgeous photos?

I love it.

As for picspam: in your own time. But I can hardly wait to see more, more and more.

I know you have the music as mp3s, but it's always nice to have the actual cd. It's amazingly accomplished for a first album. I'm only sorry it wasn't the version with Gerard threatening to come to your house and suck your blood.

The picspam keeps getting derailed by my being unable to choose what to post and getting happily lost in my pic folders... I think it will have to be a serial picspam.

Nothing wrong with serial picspam! That will be fun.
