Okay, I'm pulling this out from October 2003, but when MOAM came out, on LJ there was this survey of the album and it was fun to see everyone's differen thoughts, kind of a more specific album review. So, I'll post mine and then people can reply with their own answers to the questions.

As best you can, list the songs on the album from your most favorite to least favorite

Ashes
Lover All Alone
Where I Draw The Line
Falling
Sacrificial Love
Real Me
As Long As We're Here
OMWH
Everything I Don't Need
Weight of the World
Glory of God
Something About Us


Favorite lyric
"Turn around and see / what love's done for me / you would not believe the way I used to be / so cold" - Ashes


Worst lyric(Has to be from a song you would otherwise enjoy, you can't just quote a whole song you don't like)
"I've learned to fly / I have to want to leave the ground / I've fallen hard / but I've been loved / And in the end it all works out" - On My Way Here... WHAT THE HELL? Those don't even go together to form a complete thought. Someone was having a seizure.


Oddest lyric
"I had my first glimpse / of love when I was 5 / i watched two people split apart" - On My Way Here... HOW IS THAT LOVE? It creeps me out if he thinks what his parents had was love. No wonder he's so fucked.

Saddest lyric:
"How much will they take / before I'm empty" - The Real Me... OH CLAY :cry: (I won't quote LAA here because then I'd quote it all, that song's pretty much a given)


Lyric that says the most about YOUR life
"If that's not what I am to you / then what am I? what am I?" - Sacrificial Love

The lyric his voice was sexiest in
"Try and remind me now!" - Ashes... Pissy Clay makes me happy

Most emo Clohn lyric
"Knowing that I might have missed my last chance / for love to find me" - Where I Draw The Line
"Maybe I've convinced myself I've really been in love / But I've been wrong, all along" - Lover All Alone

Favorite song(s) to sing along with
Ashes, Fallen, Where I Draw The Line


Song you most want a video for
Ashes


Favorite non-vocal musical moment
The beginning notes of Lover All Alone, I just think that beginning transports you to a dark hole somewhere just in time to hear Clay's sorrow.


Are there any songs you just don't like at all? Meaning, you skip every time?
Something About Us, Glory of God


Would you trade in one of the songs for any of those forgotten ones? (Back for More, Tears Run Dry, ect)
Yes, Glory of God, Something About Us, Weight of the World can all go.


If you were given the option of marrying clay and living happily ever after, but it meant that he could never sing another note again, would you do it? (this was back in 2003 remeber, lol)
Well since Clay is gay, I'd rather he sing forever.

music: As Long As We're Here

Last updated 93 weeks ago. So what's up?

HOMOPHOBIA

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear- filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I
wish they could adopt me.

I am one of many who was beat up on the playground all my life because I didn't fit the standards of the other boys at school

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong.

mood: sorry

I have no moneys, and I need an iPod because my disc man broke and i have to have songs to run to to get in shape for LA which is the reason I have no money. So if you'd be a doll and go

I'll skip the how's and the whys and get right to the story. This is a story about me directing a live news broadcast for my TC class.

Last night I realized I didn't have the papers nessesary to complete the assigment. I woke up early in hopes of getting to class early so that another student would let me barrow their papers and make photocopies (the papers were the diectors script and the grading sheet)

So I woke up and got to class 20minutues early where in fact another student let me barrow the grade sheet and directors sheet and make copies. So, then I had the sheets. This was the first time for me seeing them. The day I had to produce this news cast. So you know how I am. I'm just taking it all lightly and goofing off with the boys (my entire class is boys besides me) and so the other directors (2 ahead of me in line) go and they rehearse and stop and start like everyone does and some times the cameras or switcher or audio or whoever messes up and they start again. Blah blah so then it's my turn.


So i get in the directors chair, and Byron, who was director on THE SHOW last year sits next to me because he's running the teleprompter. And we're good friends so he and I are goofing off n stuff. And I got all my audio cues written in my script but I have no idea what i'm doing. So everyone gets set and I go through a run through.

I NEVER STOP. The teacher never calls cut. the run through was PERFECT.

So then I was like "Why wasn't I taping that!" And the teacher laughs and we go through it for a grade this time and tape it.

PERFECT AGAIN.

After never practicing and never seeing the script I did it all PERFECT. No one in my class has done that. So all the boys were like laughing and joking about how terrible I did and why was I even here? Basically I impressed the pants off of all of them. And I thanked them all for doing such a good job and they thanked me and basically I rule.

The End.

mood: jubilant

*knock knock*

Hey all. I don't want my journal to get deleted so I'm writting a blurb. Anyone read this thing still?

So, Clay Aiken is hot and his last tour was amazing and I met his PA Nick and we hugged and that was nice.

I got an internship at a local TV station to be Their PA and I run errands and log tape and contact allumni and stuff so that's nice.

It's my friend Brittany's birthday today. She's 22. Shout out!

Yesterday night I got some cool prints in the mail from cocoamix and i put them up on my wall of gay so now it's very very pretty.

I'm writing an extremely long fanfic over at idolslash under the user name hotlen so go check it out if you love you some of the Clohn. And plz comment if you do because it makes my job and hours of labor worth while. No, seriously, hours, days, weeks, months. So yeah, a 2 minute reply won't hurt you.

Hope you're happy seeing me again, because it's probably the last you'll see of me for awhile.

Byebye.

Mmmmmmm qaf icons.

mood: peaceful

I just watched the series finale of QaF and it is the saddest thing ever. The end.
