Welcome to Gaia! ::

love it! no pain involved!!!

Well, my story is short so here it goes.
My Chem was my best friend's band for a long time. And ever since 2003 (when she discovered them) she had tried to get me to listen to them numerous times without success. It took until 2006 for me to FINALLY listen to her. She started letting me listen to one of her copies of "Three Cheers" and I was immediately hooked!
She gave me "Bullets" as a birthday present and later, I bought "The Black Parade" and "The Black Parade Is Dead". I am trying to hunt down LOTMS but I cannot find ANYWHERE that sells it. sad My best friend says that shes getting it for my next birthday so maybe there's hope. If anyone knows where to find it, please PM me or comment on my profile or something. And that's my "How I Found MCR" story.

I was first exposed when Fuse began airing the PV's for "I'm Not Okay, "Helena," and "The Ghost of You." I wasn't hooked immediately, but become curious and did some research. When I read what they were all about, I fell in love. They were honest and inspirational. At the time, I related to "I'm Not Okay," being an outcast nerd in high school.

Trust me, you aren't overweight. 135 is a very healthy weight for someone in your height range.
See?

You have a small frame according to this chart.
If you weighed less than 123 pounds, you'd be skinny to the point of being unhealthy.

I first saw the video for Helena but didn't really take much notice, I was obsessed with Green Day at that point and was always hearing about the two bands being compared to each other. It wasn't until I first heard Welcome to the black parade that I realised what I'd been missing out on for the last couple of years

Same thing as my sister. mrgreen

Wow, I can't believe I never repled to this... ah well, here goes.

SO. The year is 2008. I was over one of my mom's friend's houses, and they had some music channel on, like one of the ones that just play songs. I remember "Teenagers" came on, by a band called My Chemical Romance. I knew I'd heard the band name somewhere before, but never a song. I listened to the song, and I liked it alot. I recall someone turning it off before it ended, however, which made me sad. Then I'd heard that song again at my uncle's house a couple months later. This time, I'd fallen in love. Sadly, without the internet or a TV at that time, I had no means of finding more music by the band, until approx. June of 2009. I had discovered the Fuse channel a couple months prior, and I was friggen addicted to it. So, there was this show called the 'Chronicles'. An episode was on, about MCR. My reaction was like "Holy s**t, I'm gonna hear that Teenagers song again!!", I was insanely happy about that. But the songs that played, they were the more dramatic hits like Helena and WTTBP. I was like "Pfft. This can't be the same band.. can it?", but I loveloveloved what I heard. I would watch that Chronicles episode whenever it came on for like 3 months after that, and also every Loaded episode I could with them, until I finally heard the song I'd been hoping for. It was the clarification I needed that this truly was the same band whose catchy song I'd been singing in my head for a year.

And now, year 2010, you see the obsessive fan I am today.

My best friend had been bugging me 24/7 about MCR cuz she had been a fan for a while and I was all like, no. Then I went to the bowling alley and saw their music video for "Helena" and I was lie, what the hell am I missing? Then I got the video and showed it to my aunt and she loved it so yeah my whole family is MCR fans because of my friend.
