Author: vitalspark
Pairing: Frank/Gerard. Bryar, Toro, Way, Stump, Wentz, Lazzara, Beckett, and Ross all end up making appearances.
Summary: AU -- "Now was not the time to fall apart." From the outside, it was easy to judge the lifestyle that tore apart 20-year-old Frank Iero from his former fiance, small town man turned Oscar-nominated actor, 26-year-old Gerard Way. From the inside, Frank realizes first hand the desperation in a new reality, and the struggle to keep it all together.

You guys are seriously awesome, thank you. I got so much insight from your comments last chapter. Knowing what you guys are thinking helps so much when I'm shaping out the next chapter, and I really appreciate it. I hope everyone has a very happy holiday!

So my brother came home last night. :)
I invited Angelo over to meet him and the two of us, plus my brother and my sister-in-law ended up playing Pictionary till 2 in the morning. Angelo is such a bad artist. XD Not that I'm much better...but whatever... We kept saying that everything he drew either looked like boobs or a dick. >_>


But then I had a dream last night >_____> And it was so awkward. Oh man. In it, I was still dating Ang but then there was Catlin and I was like in love with Catlin or something an dat one point I was hugging Angelo and looking over his shoulder at Catlin or something and Catlin got really mad and he yelled at me then wouldn't talk to me and I was like "D: omfg nooooo" in my dream.

It makes me feel bad even if it's just a dream. It doesn't help that I really did have quite the crush on Catlin this summer.


I think I'm gonna work on/update Walrus now. I still have a lot of beta-ing to do...but IDK.

Okay. I'm just... drawing the line. I have no place anymore.

Love you. Really.

Secret Santa style. Comment anonymously, then then put yours on your LJ and I'll return the favor. :D

These past few days have sucked. I don't even feel like going into detail with them. I'm just willing to bet today will suck too because I have a shitty shift at work and I'm not going to put it past Angelo to put me in backdrive to be a dick. >_> *cough*

Government exam probably not a fail. Probably somewhere around a C. :)

I need to do some more Christmas shopping. I still haven't gotten that thing for Katie, but I paid my mom for it, so all she needs to do is order it with her credit card for me...

I have my last story due tonight at midnight...so...it's going to suck. I get out of work at 7 (though I'm going to beg to get out early), and I think my brother and sister-in-law will be here. Yay for my brother. Boo for my loudmouth sister-in-law. I can't write like that, man.

I love how all day Angelo made it a point that I should talk to him but when given the chance to do so, there WAS no chance because we weren't alone.

Seriously. Guys are kind of dense.

Title: Save Yourself - Chapter 3 (sequel to "Please, Try Again")

I just want to know... who didn't tell me that one of the potential song titles for MCR's new album was called "Save Yourself"? Crazy!


( Chapter 3 -- “When you get down real deep to the Maslow hierarchy of needs for myself, I’m pretty sure being annoying is one of my basic needs.” )

If you've been my LJ friend for any amount of time, you may or may not have noticed that I like even numbers. Every LJ entry I've ever made has an even number of comments. You might sometimes see me replying to my own entries/comments with "even" specifically for this purpose. Sometimes comment numbers ending in 5 are okay, but usually they don't last long before I cave and fix those, too.

Anyway, right now I have 277 friends and only 260 mutual friends, and IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I want it to be 260 and 260, or 277 and 277, or just. SOMETHING THAT MATCHES. ANYTHING. So here's what I'm going to do.

In one week, I'm going to remove everyone from my friends list who doesn't have me added back. This is kind of a dick move, because I know that most of those people are people who requested that I friend them so they could read my stories, but they probably don't want my entries clogging up their friends lists. I'm giving them a full week to notice this since I doubt they read my journal regularly because I'm not on their friends lists.

Anyway, my need for even numbers always gets worse when I'm writing Emerson, so you can all guess what I've been doing with my time. Chapter 10 has about 2k, which isn't much, but it's certainly a start. I hope to have it finished sometime before 2010, but I make no promises, since those always come back to bite me in the butt.

If I don't post again before then, happy holidays to everyone! ^_^
