that's all you had to say

This morning I spent 40 min waiting for a bus that didn't show up. Then I had to email my boss to say that I can't come to work. This has not been a good day.

On the other hand, I'm thinking about getting a new tattoo on my back. Along the spine orjust next to it. It would go.

well
if you
wanted
honesty


What do you think? For those of you not in bandom, that is the first line of My Chemical Romance's 'I'm Not Okay'. Yes, I do love Gerard Way that much. *g*

Mostly my reaction is occasioned by my ever changing music tastes and my itchiness about band tattoos in general, unless said band are completely and irrevocably broken up and at least one of them is dead. My belief in the sustaining powers of awesome is shaky at best. ;)

To be honest, I used to be suspicious of band tattoos as well, so I can see what you mean. There are many bands that I love but wouldn't get tattoos about , precisely because of that. However, there have been a few bands that are MYBANDOMG to such an extent (and with such longevity) that I know I won't ever not love them, or ever regret the tattoo even if I stopped listening to the music. My Chem is one of them (others being U2 and The Divine Comedy), and well, Gerard. It's not even about whether I will listen to I'm Not Okay in ten years time - even if I don't, it will still be a song about non-conformity and one that makes me gleeful about not-conforming, and it will never be a bad song or a meaningless song, if that makes sense? But I'm still debating, so we'll see. ;)

DO IT! Seriously, the lyrics and the placement sound awesome.

I'm thinking about it...I won't get it soon but I'm pretty sure that at some point I will have Gerard on my back. As it were. ;)
