Well, hey.

Year 11 is interesting.

For one, my resident stalker has finally caused me to snap. I am sick and tired of this kid following me around all over school.. it's got to the point where she's moved into ALL my classes (hell, she moved into art and she doesn't even DRAW..) and she moved her locker right next to mine. THAT wasn't cool. I was not impressed at all. I'm freaked out and scared and stressed by this - I need space, right? Well this kid just completely invaded my personal bubble.. I only allow people into my bubble if I want to. The fact that she's just taken it upon herself to invade it without my approval just sends me bananas - this is BEYOND any 'admiration' or 'role model' stuff, if it were she'd respect me enough to give me some space, but hell no she can't even give me that. This is just scary shit. I'm talking to my year advisor on Monday with Bonnie, because I can't take this anymore.

Anyway. Enough about my stressful first days of Year 11. The stalker is my main problem, I guess without her everything is just ok, peachy. I just need some SPACE.

So yeah. Thought I'd blog, let you know how it's all going.

...I seem to have run out of stuff to talk about.

Hope you guys are alright.

~lylt,

The Aliway.

Hmmm...

There hasn't been a post in a while..(a while being like 2 or more weeks.) Umm not much to say. I'm back in Australia at school. My dorm is awesome. Beat that!

Well anyway..bye bye. ^^

Seeing as this is the band website...

There. Enjoy. Performance pictures ftw.

Oh Dear.....

Well seeing as we have a bunch of bandmates depressed for obvious reasons I will be the ray of sunshine and say a few things.

Darling Tobi said she may come back. We shall wait and see how things work out. But knowing us all it will be fine. A fight is a fight, no matter how bad it may seem. I remember beginning of last year how I had a huge fight with Aliway and said I never wanted to talk to her again. Let's just say that didn't work. Thankfully.

Until then let us all go into our little music crazed worlds. While you devote yourself to your songs I shall be reading fanfiction. If anyone needs me I shall be involved in some overly dramatic plotline that probably involves yaoi.

Until then we shall just be wishing for the best.... <3

Help.

We seem to love hitting potholes.

Just as we sort everything out.. 

Why?

Co-founder and one of the two guitarists of our band, Mz. Tobi, has decided she's leaving.

Also the one who came up with our epic band name. Slogan. Powered my dream for the band and kept it alive, even when it was a shadow in the back of our minds and I would shake my head and think it was a pointless nothing. She would still convince me that it's worth it. She would remind me of my love for music - piano - and rekindle my faith in the dream.

Now, that person no longer wants to be part of this dream.

What's going to happen to the dream?

I'm going to admit something here. All this time, from the time MSF emerged as a brainchild of Tobi's, I never imagined it without her. People come and go, but she was constant. She was ALWAYS there - always in my future. I didn't care what we were doing, but I always knew it would be with her. We were a team, right? Superheroes.. Papercut Man, The Superstitionist, and our crazy leader Duct Tape Girl. I apologize - at this point in time, I can't remember the others (I only remember Papercut Man because I think of it whenever I get a papercut).

I nearly cried reading Kyrie's blog, because it's true and reminded me of how bad things are.

I don't know if Tobi'll come back, but I know this much - I don't know about anyone else, but I'm happy to welcome her back with open arms. As long as she's willing, so am I.

At the moment, I'm kind of right in the depths of my music, finding solace curled around an iPod.

~lylt,

The Aliway.

Music is my life....

I don't feel like doing anything.

I want it to be the way it was a year ago. When I didn't have to deal with this, when everyone was still a school. When I didn't have so much pain and regret. To feel untroubled and not worried. To not have a care, I want to feel that once more.

I close my eyes and it's there. The sound of her voice saying that it's going to be okay. Saying that she is truly happy. But how can I believe this voice when she is being drowned out with my screams of anger and distrust? How can I trust someone who has let me down? How can I get through this?

Music is alway there. It helps me forget everything, if only for 3 minutes. But that is 3 minutes where my thoughts are silent. 3 minutes where I can breathe.

The Melody drifts through the corridors of my mind. Filling my very soul.

I forget everything. Focus on the song. Slipping into the effortless fall of the notes. Every piano key, every string of the guitar, every word that is sung, I feel myself forget.

But then the song ends, along with my peace. I fumble for my ipod, hurriedly trying to press repeat. But it's too late, the thoughts take their chance and invade my mind. Screaming to me. Reminding me of what I long to forget. I shakily press the button, and once again my head is filed with silence, and once again I fall....effortlessly.....into peace.

Sonic Youth

Last night, we went to the Fillmore and saw Sonic Youth.
The ninth greatest band in the history of the universe--without which, there would be no contemporary bands such as Green Day, My Chemical Romance, AFI, etc.
There would be no Nirvana without Sonic Youth.
It was a spectacular show. I was right up against the stage. Kim Gordon scowled at me once or twice--but she's a pretty scowly person, anyway.
Now, the Fillmore. It's like the second or third most famous venue in the Bay Area. There are all these pictures on the walls of all the bands who played there. I saw a picture of Jimi Hendrix, and it made me sad.
There was also a picture of Courtney Love as Hole, Carlos Santana, The Greatful Dead, The Doors, and countless other rock n' rollers.
I want to play there someday.

AHAHAHAHAHA

Mario music. Lol, I always thought they were total Mario music, Owl City. Not bad, though.

Exodus.. well... ehh, it's pretty close to Eulogy. Both begin with E, right?

And you won't believe me, but guess what my mum did while I was spending Christmas in PNG - she freaking downloaded my Bullets album!! Scarier? SHE LOVES IT. MY MOTHER - MY EASYLISTENING LOVING MOTHER - LIKES BULLETS. Does this scare anyone else but me? Like, I'm ecstatic that she actually likes it - now I know she doesn't just listen to MCR to humour me - but, seriously. This is one crazy revelation.

On another note. I have had zero time to do anything. Interesting. So much for holidays, right?

I like fully helped my sister make freaking caramel slice yesterday - even I'm worried.

Oh, and Shadow - I love Monty Python xD those coconut horses rock..

~lylt

The Aliway

Random Stuff

I agree Aliway dear. Eulogy (I think that's how it's spelt) it quite an epic store. We did have fun up there.. even if we were only there for ten minutes. And I am happy you finally call the store by it's proper name instead of Exodus.. I seriously wonder how you came up with that.

Hmm Shadow I haven't seen Monty Python.. I think I'm the only person in the world that hasn't. Or maybe not. Maybe there's a secret society of people who haven't seen it. Maybe they shall take over the world. Who knows. I don't...

Seeing as Aliway had a rant I want a rant too. I saw a gecko yesterday. It was green. Though a small reptile isn't much to rant about... and I rant bout CB too often. I like Owl City lately. Very amazingly epic. Especially The Saltwater Room. Though some of thier music does remind me of Mario Bros.. just cuz Aliway pointed that out a while ago.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The eighth greatest movie in the history of the world.

If you haven't seen it, go watch it now.

Thank you for your time. 

Well, hey.

I'm sitting in front of t.v looking like a bogan and happy as hell.

For one, I am in LOVE with the music store Eulogy in Armidale. Ehehe.. epicness store.

And I have a new MCR t-shirt. From aforementioned Eulogy.

Can I rant about Eulogy? Okay.

Well, it's like a indie/punk/metal music store. Bottom storey is the register, t-shirts and hoodies, and the listening booth. Yes, you heard me - LISTENING BOOTH.

Upstairs is the CD's and stuff, excellent stuff, and a couch and footrest. It's awesome - you know how most stores, like, try to push you into buying something or leaving if you don't buy anything? Well Eulogy practically invites you to stay for the afternoon. It's a great little place to hang out, just sit upstairs listening to whatever's playing, or grab a CD and go into the booth. Excellence.

It opened a while ago, but closed over Xmas/New Years, and just reopened on Tuesday and MAN I'm happy to have it open again.

Today, I had my first day at my new school. MLIA.

Maybeck School for the Kids Who Are Left-Wing and Artistic Enough to go to OSA but they Care More About Academics than the OSA-ers and so are at Maybeck Instead.

It was okay. There was a guitar in the hallway, which I played for most of lunch. I think I annoyed a few seniors.
The bus ride home was interesting, to say the least.

I think I am going to cry....

ugh, as if my day wasn't as awesome as it already is *sarcasm*.

My computer decides to crash! Well, not crash, but die slowly. It won't let me see pictures or anything!! so sucky!!

Anyway. I am currently brainstorming ideas for songs, i have 2 so far.

Well, the first one is obvious, we talked about this on Skype. MUD!!

For some reason we are making a mud video. lol. Oh yeah, sexy. haha jk.

And i had another idea of doing a music video in tunnels. It would look awesome, well it does in my mind.

Anyway, this is just a meaningless blog because I am bored.

Anyway....

tootles!

By The Way.

I am most happy with the new accordance of order.

Though.

I must make one point.

PIANO NOT KEYBOARD DAMMIT. KEYBOARD IS IN SYNC WITH SYNTH/EFFECTS.

Okay, now I'm all good.

Aaaall good.

By the way, I am the epic sauce at helping someone write a post over Skype. AND when they're dealing with an internet consisting of Cantonese. Hell yeah *nods*

And thus. 

I think we are sorted out now...

Excellent. >:D

~lylt

The Aliway

Pringles or Gum?

Okay, this has been the most challenging blog I have ever been on. Since I have never been on a blog, I am just submitting a guess.

First of all, being in China doesn't help. Also, everything being in Cantonese doesn't help.

3 people tried to help me, all failing apart from ALIWAY!!!!! Thank God.

Anyway.

I should introduce myself.

I am Valkyrie, we have shortened it to Kyrie. Which, in Latin, means 'Oh Lord' so yeah. Its supposed to be begging for mercy. Yes, I am the mighty.

Anyway.

hmm, what to write?

Probs something about myself.

Music: Cinema Bizarre, MCR, MSI, pretty much anything with an acronym, haah.

Movies: Anything that can make me scream or laugh. Pretty much an awesome movie, i.e Avatar, now that was awesome.

Books: I used to be a Twilight junkie, not anymore!! Now I love Skullduggery pleasant, Cirqu Du Freak and Deltora Quest. hahaa, well not anymore.

Anyway, I recently moved to Hong Kong :'(.

So we've been here for like a few weeks and its pretty awesome. Move the MSF base here!! haha.

well, I am, as The Aliway so kindly stated, the anime freak. Anything anime, I'm drooling. So yes.

:)

And I am happy to announce that I am the Bassist!!! So I will start learning that when I get to school! :)

Which is in 16 days!! ahh!!!

Well I have just wasted about 5 minutes of your life that you can never get back so I will stop now.

ttyl!

xxox

It Would Seem Things Are Finally Sorted

We all know we had a massive problem with both Shadow and Mz. Tobi wanting to be guitar. Well that has finally been worked out. Well almost, Aliway must still agree. So here's the plan/new positioning system:

Saji (me): lead singer (still that hasn't changed :D)
Shadow: guitar and backup
Mz. Tobi: guitar
Kyrie: bass
Aliway: keyboard AND synth

Thanks to Shadow for thinking of that. Hopefully it will make everyone happy. Anyway bye bye. <3

Why's That?

I like Lady Gaga personally. I don't see how you can respect someone but not like them. Wait no, yes I do. Nevermind. Lol.

Anyway... Kyrie should be posting any minute.. she's having some problems though.. all the sign up pages were in chinese. She didn't find it nearly as funny as I did. :D

I have one thing to say.

Lady Gaga.
Would beat the shit.
Out of.
Katy Perry.
In.
A boxing.
Match.

Thank you for your time.

(EDIT: I don't actually like Lady Gaga. I just respect her. And thing that she's more badass than Katy Perry.)

Just To Sort Things Out...

If you really wanna know why she's called Mz. Tobi ask her.. I think it's just cuz she's a girl and the character was a guy.

Somehow this reminds me that I have to officially welcome our newest member and synth player cuz she has now officially joined us. So then, Kyrie welcome to MSF. As I said before we are the most awesome 6 people in the world.. though nobody else knows it yet. ^.^

Anyway, Shadow you must invite her to the blog... it would help if we could get the other 3 on here.

Okay then..

..Though as far as I know she's still adamant about playing guitar. Has she even agreed to play bass yet?

And she's Mz Tobi because that's her self-bestowed nickname, for some reason.. xD

Tobi comes from Naruto - one of the characters is called Tobi - and I have no clue where the Mz came from.

Haha awesome!! Must get to this Gilman some day. Armidale is shit for shows. Anything you CAN get is in Tamworth, and it's all country shit anyway. I am living one hour away from the Country Music Capital Of Australia. I am not even exaggerating, that is what it's called!!!

Anyway. Good luck in school Shadow, it shouldn't be too bad right? *hug*

~lylt

The Aliway

I think it was decided that Mz Tobi would play bass and I would play guitar.
Somehow.
Why is she Mz. Tobi, anyway?

Uhh. Just got back from the Gilman. Some girl tried to sell me pot.
But the show was epic. This band from Orlando played (and should have been headlining) and my band that I didn't play with today played as well.
After the show, we were hanging out outside when some guy came up to us. He works for Lennon records/studios... and he wants to sign us. Isaac, the guitarist, was like, "Hell yes!"

And... school starts technically tomorrow and I'm fucking nervous.

Heh

Well I guess you're a genius, Shadow, because you play guitar. And in my opinion, anyone who can play one of those things must be a genius. Either my fingers are weird (oh, wait, they are) or it's the average guitarist's hands which are weird, because I cannot reach those frets for shit.

Not to mention being able to play a guitar well! Which therefore means you MUST be a genius. =P

Anyway, as Shadow mentioned before, Happy New Year. Two more years to go til Zombie Apocalypse. Are you guys prepared?

Well. In response to Saji's blog, I think I'd fall into the categories of going insane and not having anything to talk about. I mean, seriously. I'm plugged in like most of every day. If I don't plug into SOME good music for at least three hours a day, I get really bad headaches. No kidding.

Also, I'm bringing this issue up right now, guys.

Sorry..

Which one of us is guitar, and which is bass??!! I CANNOT keep drawing fanarts with BOTH Shadow and Mz. Tobi playing guitar.

And NO, Tobi. We are NOT getting ANOTHER band member for bass so you two can play guitar. It's a nice idea, I must admit, but six members is already bordering on too many, seven is just way over the line.

Care to sort this out for me, seeing as it's been left unsolved for about a year now?

Sorry yet again for bringing it up...

~lylt

The Aliway

Uh, since when am I the genius?

Last time I checked, it was Alison.
I'm just the guitarist.

ANYWAY.

It's 2010. Kinda freaky if you think about it. Good riddance to '09... but it also means that we have only two more years to live because OH NOES THE WORLD WILL END IN 2012!

Hahahaha.
Anyway, I must go and keep writing my story.

Farewell, and fair fortune be yours.
~Shadow

Just For The Sake of Blogging.....

Just to set Aliway at ease I won't personally murder her... don't know what the others will do though. :P Gothic slut.. hehehe true true.

Anyway as Aliway said we're totally dedicated to music. Not just our own either. You know how they're are those people who would without music would:
A) go insane
B) hurt themselves or someone else
C) wouldn't wanna live
D) wouldn't have anything to talk about....

Yeah... one way or another we all somewhat fit into that category around here... And we're all somewhat mad too. But that is a story for another blog entry. hehe

Hmm damn you Aliway! Now it appears I don't have much to talk about. :( Meh

Cya, Saji is going now. ;)
