Can I please just say how heartwarming it is to see so many animal pictures here. I live vicariously. I'm Francesca (she/her), I'm 24 and I'm from England. I've been knocking around the MCRmy since 2010ish, and I've been a fan since about 2006. 1) I'm a writer. Like, professionally. It's cool. Horrendously paid but so so cool 2) My friends in school used to call me Frank, which I still answer to, and one time my stereo was playing Vampire Money and when G said 'how 'bout you, Frank' I actually started to reply and got irritable that I was interrupted by Frank Iero. 3) I'm learning how to read the tarot and my life goal is to be that old lady with a pack of cards who looks knowingly at people, flips a card and unearths their entire soul in a sentence. This picture was me at Halloween. I went as a fortune teller (it's the reason I picked up the tarot) and accidentally ended up looking exactly like I normally look except also like I was auditioning for the next series of Peaky Blinders. Which you should definitely watch.

Hi friends! I’m Brinn, I’ve been around since 2011. My pronouns are they/them. I’ll be 26 in December and I live in California. 3 (more?) facts about me: 1). I, too love animals very, very much; my family and I have three cats, three dogs, and I have a snake. My favorite animals are octopuses. 2). I write poetry and compete in poetry slams in my area. I’m alright. 3). I love going to concerts (I know that’s really surprising and unique to this forum but it’s a really big part of my life). The last show I saw at the time of writing this was Against Me! in LA. Here’s the latest picture I have of me, with my snake (his name is Severus Snake): I don’t know why my picture is sideways but I can’t fix it, so here it is.

Thailand (some islands and Chiang Mai/Pai), Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Devastatingly beautiful and GOD THE FOOD. I'd love to visit Korea and Japan, they are on my list. Heyyyyy! Are you still in film?? I am sort of reaching toward being in film. Congrats on your sobriety also, that's huge. I generally do not ever want a real job ever again (I'm freelance and also did the second job thing til I collapsed) but a librarian is the one job I would do happily. Yes definitely. Not just because there are a lot of names (and gender identities actually) that I never actually knew and just kind of guessed or surmised. Maybe a new Introductions thread? Might be easier for any new people too?

Hi, I'm Ash. I've been around... too long man. I'm 25. He/Him pronouns. My favourite album is Danger Days, though I do love The Black Parade for it's theatrical feeling, but Danger Days won my heart. I feel that's an unpopular opinion but that's okay. 3 Facts: i play guitar (i picked it up about 3 years ago) i have a film degree i recently turned vegetarian and it's pretty cool Picture (sorry 'bout my face):

I’m Sonia. I’m female. I have a horse, Mick Mac, and I’ve had him for 20 years, so he’s my best friend and the love of my life. I’m a teacher at high school in maths and physics. I love cake and chocolate and anything sweet! And also, I love all kinds of animals, and have a weird fascination for llamas! Btw, I did pet a llama in Peru, so that’s pretty cool😅 Adding a pic of Mick Mac and me, since I feel awkward being in pics alone Edit: I’m 29 years old!

You guys, I got me real life friend Hento to join the rmy, be nice to her😊 we’re planning to go to the uk show together! PS Mick Mac likes her, so she is approved as a cool girl!

Hey all! I’m Alex and I’ve been around since 2012. I’m 28, live in Los Angeles, and am beside myself with excitement about being able to remember my login after so long. Three facts: - I’m a publicist for a university. I may be a grown up emo kid now but I certainly have maintained a chic all black wardrobe 🤟🏽 - I fundraise for the Downtown Women’s Center on LA’s Skid Row. They are the only resource for unaccompanied women in the area and are focused on permanent rehousing (I’m super proud to be affiliated with them and am passionate about this issue!). - My favorite story to tell people about my dad is this one: When MCR had their Halloween show in Los Angeles during the Black Parade era my best friend Megan and I used six different phones to try and win tickets on KROQ. We failed. My dad somehow found out that a limited number of people would be able to get in at the door on Halloween (in retrospect he was definitely trying to win me tickets as well 😭). So, he pulled me and Megan out of school on the 30th and whisked us to House of Blues Sunset, where he slept on the filthy streets of Hollywood with us, keeping us safe, until all three of us got into the show. 🖤 Here’s my face:

Thank you, Rachel (don’t you just miss the wubs?) I’m so blessed that I have friends that knew my struggles and look out for me in tempting environments. I used to completely avoid situations with alcohol but as the years rolled by I realised it was stopping me being sociable so now I just prepare myself in any way I can. The fact Queen was playing in this wedding party made it a lot easier

The name is Mariguel (she/her). You may refer to me as Mari or MariG. Currently 28 and live in Philadelphia. (This picture is about 6 years old and is the only decent one that I have by myself 🤣) I've been a fan since fall of 2004 (when the I'm Not Okay music video was released), and saw My Chem for the first time in 2011. I have a Bachelor's degree in science, Penn State Almuni. Love going to concerts, and this past summer I got to attend my first and last Warped Tour with my baby sister, loved every moment.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH YOU'RE BACK! Hi I've missed you 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 all the best people are coming back this is the best Okay so my favorite had to be Osaka. It's Japan's second largest city (after Tokyo of course) and imo it's the perfect size. I love cities, I love entering a new one and feeling out the vibe. When a city is enormous, though, the vibe can be lost and you have to break it down to neighborhoods to feel their vibes. Osaka is not too big but it is complicated and fun! I loved just walking the streets, but also it's got some neat districts and fun things to do. I'd live there if I could 🤩 I am absolutely determined to go back someday and hopefully spend even more time there next time! (lmao if anyone wants to see pictures I used my insta for that, @kateranoff) Guess. What I just did. I need somewhere to be excited about this. I just wrote my letter of resignation! I've had the kind of job that people quit as birthday gifts to themselves (true story) for over a year now. They've been pushing me to enter management because I'm good at shit and don't have a shitty attitude. They get paid a ton but you literally could not pay me enough to manage this place it's a shit hole. Also I have a second job already, and it's a fucking dream job that I've been trying to get since I started since I entered the workforce. I'm a librarian! So I have this dream job, I'm full time in school, and then I had this second job that's been killing me....whenever I talk to my friends about all the shit I do their eyes get wide and they try to calmly explain that I don't need to do all this to myself. And they're right! It's taken me three months but I'm finally quitting. I am SO STOKED

I’ve grown a lot since I was last here! 2013 is a lifetime away and my life is nothing like it was, mostly because of a rollercoaster few years, but I’m far happier these days! (For example, I just celebrated 4 years sobriety!) How have you all been?

By some miracle, after 20 minutes of refreshing, waiting in cue with the walking man, and being told there were no tickets......... LIA AND I HAVE GA TICKETS FOR THIS SPECIAL NIGHT!!!! ANYONE ELSE HAVE LUCK GETTING TICKETS???

i love that as soon as news broke, we've all headed here to be together

I saw Frozen 2 with my brother over Thanksgiving and I really liked the art and the music! The story wasn’t as good as it could have been, in my opinion, but it was still really beautiful.

Woho, it’s working😃 (lets pretend like I’m not checking during work hours😛)

Currently reading The princess and the dragon and other stories about unlikely heroes by F! Finished The princess and the dragon, and it was really great. Feels like fairytales for grown ups. I like fairy tales☺️

Thank you!! I'm glad it's official too. It makes all the legal things less stressy! This was a night last night, look at all that joy! dancing in THOSE shoes was difficult, let me tell ya

Thanks!! Will go back and read and give you my reactions. And all you other guys: read it!! It’s amazing! good to hear! Haha, it’s kinda difficult to not be vague after 3 years, like it’s either that or writing a biography😛 I’m good too! Especially right now, lying on the couch after being outside in the snow😁

I’m still going by Ash. It’s actually my legal name now (as of 2018, I’m good at procrastinating...). Didn’t seem a big deal because I was already using the name for years! Feels surreal for me to be back too. I’d grown out of MCR since 2013, I’m probably going to be listening to the music in a totally different way.

You. Guys. I got back into my account . The band is back. The world is right again!

Feel free to pick my brain any time you want, any advice I can offer I’d be happy to give out! More than happy to look over your potential course details or talk over where you might want to go in the future. I found that very helpful when I started out. (I also feel like I’m at a school reunion. It’s great.)

Okay, so this is my life update thingy. I still go by Ash/Ashley and I use he/him pronouns most of the time. So here's most of my story? Sam and I broke up amicably in late 2015, it was fine, no animosity or ill feeling, these things happen! Shortly after this happened I went on a "hey Ash, you gotta explore yourself" in terms of my career, my studies etc, so I took time out to figure out what I want to do - eventually I graduated with a film degree in 2017 (first class - who know I was that smart??) anyway, that was a surprise that I surpassed my own expectations. I got a part time job as a scriptwriter, which is a lot of fun, the people I work with have almost become my family, alongside this I work an office job to keep my bank topped up. It's okay - I don't think it will be forever, but it's okay, you know? In mid 2016, I met my ex fiancee, lets just refer to her as "my ex" for the purpose of this post - anyway, it kinda started off perfect, she was there to support me through my degree, and I supported her through her studies, and we just kinda gelled. I didn't expect to fall in love with a woman, but hey sexuality is a complicated area for me so lets not go there! Eventually I realised this relationship was abusive, in an emotional and physical sense. I won't go into detail and it's not needed and not appropriate, but it was the hardest thing I've probably ever faced. My health got so bad, that my hair physically started to fall out, I was having constant panic attacks and was generally on edge, and I sunk back into that dark place I thought I'd never get back out again. Eventually the police got involved, I refused to press charges. The turning point for me, was I was discussing with my therapist the start of this year, my ordeal, in full detail and its extent as well as my background and my former battles as well as victories.We were talking, and I had mentioned I felt like a failure, I felt like I'd go back to the place I always was as this teenager, but she replied "you have your sobriety" - and it hit me like a tonne of bricks. Through all the bad - I hadn't touched a drink. I have just celebrated 4 years sobriety and I couldn't be more proud of myself. In the darkness, came a light and positive. I held onto that to allow me to grow. Since the breakup in mid 2018, i've been back in that "Hey Ash, you gotta explore yourself" mindset and honestly, I've grown exponentially in the last year or so. I am, thankfully, much happier these days. The experience of hitting rock bottom emotionally allowed me to step back and view my life in a real raw sense, and since then I've decided to take my Masters degree and I've also been exploring my faith and beliefs. I'm positive about my future, albeit I'm not entirely sure what it looks like. Personally, my passion is in film and photography (does anyone want my instagram? I take pretty pictures), But I have developed more passions. I would like to work with a charity at some point. My own experiences in life over the past 6 years (good and bad) - has led me to want to make a change. Do I stick with media or charitable work? I don't know, all I do know is the future is bright OH Before I forget... You all remember how Queen obsessed I was/am? I saw Queen last year. I'm seeing Queen twice next summer. Little 8 year old me would be so proud. I do miss my dear freddie i got a dog and called it freddie i also brought a replica red special (brian may guitar) and i learned to play the ukelele oh and i still own a black parade jacket

This is sweet Rachel, thank you for your kind words. I do miss the good old days of the MCRmy, and your presence! On a serious note, I also found myself in a two year long abusive relationship from 2016 to mid 2018, hearing you broke it off and are now free from that situation makes my heart so happy for you. From my own experience, I know this is not easy for anyone to do. The humbling experience I had was that it made me appreciate my relationships with others much deeper, even just acquaintances on the street! I am so glad to hear your life is full of victories now, alongside such supportive friends and family. Although we haven't spoken in a long time, it makes me so proud to hear that you have chosen to be on committees and commissions trying to improve the life of people with disabilities. I feel if we have a battle we have to face, we often want to help others that are also battling them, I think that shows a lot of depth and courage in a person. I always admired your drive growing up in the Sister Wives, and nothing's changed there! I am so happy thank the reunion will rekindle of the lost relationships and friendships I had with you guys, and that already has made me grateful - and that's without the music! Really looking forward to your MCR pics! I'll try to sum up my last 6 years in my next post (yikes) I still go by Ashley... not sure I mentioned that!

Thanks, I’m pretty proud of myself. I did tell a lot of people about it after doing it twice, including my boss, so now it’s really embarrassing to stop😅 that’s another good tip. I’ve tried going regularly a lot of times, and I always drop out eventually, so we’ll see how long it works🙈 well, thanks for trying, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll find a way around it. Like making a new one or something😊

May I brag about myself for a minute? I’ve actually got a routine where I go to the fitness center before work every Wednesday! I’ve figured the best way to make myself actually work out is to get myself to the center before I’m quite awake, cause then I can’t make up any excuses 😂 PS Kerry, what do you think off reviving the asylum? I kind of miss that place.

Thank you! I work as a freelance scriptwriter and film editor alongside my “normal” job. Hoping to break into the industry full time! How’s it going for you?

Wow, Osaka sounds awesome! And I’m happy for you for quitting your job. Sounds enough with one job with everything you got going on, and that should be the one you actually enjoy! Hi!! Please stay😊😊 Good to se you back!!! And so glad to hear you’re happier😃 I’ve been good, grown up and got a lot off grown up responsibilities, but still alone (but for my horse). Great to see you back, and it’s so cool to read everything you have accomplished since then! Are you working as a doctor?

In the time MCR was inactive I've: -Finished med school (well, I was in my last year when they broke up...anw, now I could actually be a MCRmy medic ... currently planning on completing a mental health first aid training) -Finished a PhD ( waiting for marking... but the thing is basically done) ❤️ I'm so happy there's more activity going on here Without the chats, games, casual and more deep discussions I would have not gotten to where I am in life right now. I will be always in debt with My Chem and the MCRmy ❤️

I MISSED YOU TOO (And I also dropped you a message on Facebook messenger) I’m SO happy to hear everyone growing and being successful and ahhh, a few years can do so much can’t it? I AM ALSO STOKED FOR YOU.

Y'all it makes me so happy to see people posting on this thread again, and just on this forum in general. Love y'all ❤️❤️❤️

I teach maths and physics in high school. So it’s great! Wow Jackie, sounds like you’ve lived quite a life. Good to hear you’ve gotten through it, and are doing okey!

How is adult life treating you Jackie? I was a student back in the days, now I’m grown up working full time as a teacher, bought an appartement last year and slowly start to feel like an adult. I still have my horse, if anyone even remember I had one. Mick Mac is 26 years old now, so he has become an old man, but for now he is alive and well😊

Turns out I very much enjoy being proven wrong when it's about MCR.

I am really sad to hear that Brinn ❤️

I would hope this goes without saying, but we will definitely be keeping all our sister wives updated and hopefully have awesome pictures to share too. Wish we could all be there together and am happy to be the eyes of the group.

We still cannot believe it. The situation looked so dark and dim, but we hold in our hearts the sword and the faith, so there was no way we were giving up. I really hope Brinn got tickets too!!!!!

Me toooooo

I’m missing my sister wives on a regular basis, but the conversations died out when no one was here at the same time anymore... Great to see you back!! How are you doing?

This one has been binging every last single thing in MCR's discography ever since she heard the news. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 There are no words for how happy this makes me, I haven't been the same since they broke up. The only thing I've been wondering is: does this mean they're coming back to stay, or are they just doing this show because it's 2019 and they're celebrating Danger Days?

Oh many hey y'all. What if we get that sister wives reunion we always talked about anyway?

My first thought was that I’m actually on vacation February 20th😱😱

It's warmed my heart, actually, that so many people came straight back.

I don’t know what the hell is going on but I’m so on board, I’m overboard

hey guys, idk if you remember me, but it's dollie (my user used to be thesaneabandondedme, but i dont remember any of the log in stuff for it lmao) but anywho, im so happy to see that there are still people on these boards after all this time. i hope that all of you guys are doing well. i came on today because 2019 is TOMORROW and it's so insane to think about all the nights that i spent with you guys talking about 2019, and the killjoy meetup and all of that.

2019 felt really far away when danger days was released. And so much has happened since then! It feels like yesterday, at the same time it’s like it’s been a lifetime since. Happy new year everyone! Let’s hope 2019 will be the best year so far!

California is pretty amazing! It's about 20 degrees outside, and sunshine almost every day. Like, you get surprised if it's cloudy or raining and the people are amazing! So warm and welcoming. Not as reserved as norwegians...

I really want to go to California, maybe San Francisco. I love California. I don't really get out much because of my financial situation. =/
