Simple Plan Blog and Journals

~At the Hideout~

"You have a sister?" Pete asked, clearly surprised.

"Yeah. After Julie and Meghan got bitten, I left home- if you could call it that. My parents died when I was very young, and so I grew up taking care of my sister. We're the same age- hell, we're twins- but she was careless and I needed to protect her. I was really reluctant to leave, but then a friend explained that she was 20 years old and needed to learn how to take care of herself. I left and never looked back." She explained, looking down as the last words escaped her lips.

By this time, Hayley had retreated back to her room, the bane (sorry, I've really got to stop with these puns) of her existence now gone.

Sisky watched the werewolf close her door with worried eyes, knowing the weight of her friend's betrayal must be heavy on her heart.

"Pete, I'm gonna take Vicky upstairs, alright?" Gabe asked, heading toward the stairs with his slowly calming mate.

"Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. We'll see you tonight." (A/N: Remember, it's like 7 a.m.)

"I think everyone with fangs should head up to bed. The sun'll be up really soon." Andy suggested, looking around at the vampires.

"Good idea. G'night- er, morning." Julie said, heading up the stairs.

"Yeah. Later guys." Andy followed right after.

"I think I'm gonna head to sleep too. I miss my bed." Patrick whined.

"Yeah, me too. It's more comfortable than mine anyway."

Rebecca gaped at her friend as Beth smiled cheekily.

Pete merely laughed and shook his head, knowing it was bound to happen sometime.

"It figures the brink of war would bring people together." Gerard said, watching the girl and werewolf retreat to Patrick's room.

"Well what do you expect? The possibility of death makes people want to live life to its fullest, and in my opinion, life isn't complete without love." Rebecca said, trying not to look over at Pete.

"Very true. But what if the love someone has for another has to be hidden? Then it's almost self-destructive." Mikey pointed out, doing his best to sound nonchalant.

Gerard cast a curious glance at his younger brother, wondering what he could possibly know of the subject.

"Enough of this philosophical shit. Show me where I'm sleeping so I can go to bed." Jeff demanded.

Pierre glared at his friend.

"I'm sorry about him. He gets pissy when- actually, he's always pissy." He said with a smile. "I'm Pierre."

Pete smiled as well and shook his offered hand.

"Pete."

"I'm Rebecca. You're Generation, aren't you?"

"Yes, we are. I'm Sébastien, but everyone calls me Seb. This here is David, over there is Chuck, and this asshole is Jeff, who I also apologize for."

"No need. We've dealt with worse than him, trust me." Rebecca assured.

"There's plenty of room here. We've made sure we'd have room for any allies of ours, and I'm sure you guys count. Any room with the door open is free." Pete said, nodding his head towards the stairs as an invitation.

Pierre sent him a grateful smile, and the five headed upstairs, anxious to have a bed to sleep in, instead of the floor of the dungeon.

Frank and Mikey were the next to go up, followed soon after by Ray and then Bob.

"I guess I'll see you guys later on tonight, then." Gerard said, noticing the light streaming through the curtains.

"Yeah, man. 'night." Pete said, silently thankful to be alone with Rebecca.

After watching the vampire climb the stairs, Rebecca turned to Pete.

"So... what were you saying earlier?" She asked, trying not to seem as excited as she really was.

"Well, I-"

'Come on, Pete.' He scolded himself. "I just- I wanted to know if, maybe, you'd want-"

Rebecca, hoping to ease his embarrassment, pressed her lips against his quickly.

When she pulled back, he had a goofy smile on his face which caused her to laugh lightly.

"I don't know how I'm supposed to finish a sentence when you keep doing that." He pointed out, fixing Rebecca with a fake scolding look.

 

~At the Dandy Mansion~ (Beckett's Chambers)

"You're sure of this?" He asked, his voice slightly concerned.

"Positive, sir. All five members of Sweet Revenge." Mike confirmed.

"And Sisky has really switched sides?"

"He has, sir." Jeremy answered, noticing Mike's state.

Mike was visibly distraught on this note.

Just the thought his best friend would turn on them made him rethink everything he'd ever known.

'If Sisky thinks the Dandies are wrong, maybe they are.' One part of his brain reasoned.

'William would never do that to me.' Another put in.

'You're the one who begged to be turned. He probably wouldn't have even associated himself with you if you hadn't.'

"Mike?" A voice asked.

He shook his head lightly and looked to the voice, seeing that it was Jeremy who had called him.

"You alright?"

"Yeah. I- I think I'm gonna go to bed." He replied, leaving the room without Beckett's dismissal.

"I'm so sorry, sir. He's really broken up about Sisky. If I have your permission, I'd like to check on him."

"Of course." William said. "All of you are dismissed."

He finished with a sigh.

He had no knowledge of Revenge being anywhere in the area, and Generation escaping couldn't have been an accident, meaning someone had betrayed him.

"Sir?"

William raised his head and saw that Travis hadn't left like the others.

"Yes?"

"I have some information that might be useful to you."

The other vampire perked up at this, gesturing for Travis to sit down opposite him.

"Please continue."

"When we were over at Wentz' place, I noticed something that could greatly benefit us."

William said nothing, waiting for him to proceed.

"The leader of Revenge- Gerard, I think his name is- seemed overly protective of Rebecca. I made a comment on it, and when Pete showed up a second later, he was radiating hate that wasn't entirely placed toward us."

"Your point?" Beckett sighed. He didn't have time for ridiculous theories.

"I think Gerard wants Rebecca for himself."

That sentence changed everything.

A grin made its way onto Beckett's face; a plan already drawing itself out in his head.

"Interesting..."

 

~2nd Floor of the Hideout~

Andy shot up in bed, words said hours before finally sinking in.

He immediately left his room, hoping that someone else was awake.

As he walked through the hallway, the soft sound of someone crying and trying to hide it met his ears.

He noticed the noise was coming from what they referred to as "The Sun Room", showing that the person was obviously not a vampire.

Pushing the door open silently, he was met with the sight of one of his best friends on the floor in tears.

"Patrick!" Andy ran to his friend, desperately trying to figure out what was wrong.

"Are you thinking about what he said too?" Patrick asked, knowing the other werewolf would have no idea what he meant.

"What are you talking about Patrick?"

"Synyster Gates. What he said this morning."

Andy's blood ran cold as he realized that's exactly what he had been thinking about.

"Yes. What did he mean?"

Patrick made no move to answer him, content with staring at the floor.

"Patrick, look at me." Andy demanded, getting nervous.

The younger werewolf raised his eyes slowly, eventually meeting Andy's.

"Where's Joe?"

Patrick's lip quivered as he held tightly to the tears just behind his eyes.

"He's dead." He whimpered.

Andy sat completely frozen, unable to process what he had just been told.

"What?" He breathed.

"He's- he's dead! Beckett killed him."

Andy's mind went completely black; all thoughts ceased to exist.

Joe was... dead?

Nothing seemed to make sense anymore, and his vision swam.

"Andy? Andy!"

 

~First Floor of the Hideout~

There was a loud 'thump' and the sound of someone shouting.

"Someone help! Hurry!"

"That's Patrick!" Rebecca exclaimed, running to the stairs.

Pete followed closely, praying to every divinity he'd ever heard of that his best friend was alright.

"Patrick? Patrick! Where are you?" She called, looking into every open room.

"In the Sun Room!" He yelled back, sounding hysterical.

"You'll have to stay out here, Pete." Rebecca stated, turning to the vampire.

"Alright. Just go find out what's wrong!" Pete insisted, worry seeping into his voice.

Rebecca shot him a comforting look and pushed open the thick black door between the hallway and the sunroom.

The first thing she saw was Patrick on his knees hunched over something on the ground.

As she got closer, the shape became recognizable as a body.

"Andy!"

She ran to kneel beside Patrick, wanting desperately to check for a pulse, but knowing werewolves, as well as vampires, didn't have them.

"What happened, Trick?" Rebecca asked frantically.

"I told him about Joe and he just sort of... fell over.”

She breathed a sigh of relief as she realized Andy’s brain had just overloaded and made him pass out.

“Come along. Let’s get him into his room. He’ll need to sleep this off.”

Patrick looked at her like she was crazy.

“Why aren’t you freaking out?!”

“I think the real question is, ‘why are you?’ He’s just passed out. I’ll bet he was tired to begin with, and you telling him such terrible news just overloaded his mind. No big deal.”

His face instantly relaxed.

“Oh. Alright. You head back to your room. I’ll take care of him.”

“Okay. Goodnight, Trick.”

“G’night, Rebecca.”

ok, heres this weeks top 10 songs.

10.Discover(Why The Love Hurts)-Elliot Minor

I know this song is getting a bit old now, being released in...uh November i think. But you all know how much of an Elliot Minor fangirl i am, and i just love this song.

9. Northern Downpour-Panic At The Disco

Ok, there was a point in time where i couldnt listen to this because it made me cry. That was just what was happening at the time, the song just related and i dont know, it just unlocked the floodgates. But now i can listen to it happily. I love this song to bits.

8.Die Romantic-Aiden

I dont know, ive been listening to a lot of Aiden's old stuff in the past month, but this song just sticks. I really love the guitar bit, and would love to learn how to play it.

7.Remembering Sunday-All Time Low

Im turning into quite the little acousticy song fangirl right now, and this song is just amazing. With Juliette Simms(sp?) singing in it as well, that just adds to it. I really do love this song.

6.Big City Dreams-NeverShoutNever!

Like i said, acoustic fangirl. I love the lyrics, the tune and most of all, the voice:) I think this is a top class song and i love listening to it.

5.Propane Nightmares(Acoustic)-Elliot Minor

This was a cover they did for Annie Mac's radio one show once. Its one of those songs that SHOULDNT be dont acoustically, but it just works. Although, and this is a big thing for me to admit, Ed Minton's voice doesnt suit the song very well. But it still sounds awesome:)

4.Untitled-Simple Plan

This song is a great song. The lyrics in it are just pure gold, its a class song.

3.Sweet Child O' Mine-Guns And Roses.

Never been a big fan of G'NR. Mainly because i think Slash is the most overrated guitarist in history. But this song, i dont know. I really like it. And the intro, i have to admit, is pretty f'awesome.

2.My Heart-Paramore

I really dont know why i suddenly absolutley love this song. Unlike a lot of Paramore fans i know, i've never really liked this song. I dont know what it was, it just...i didnt like it that much. But i sat and i listened to it last night, and i loved it. Just, the sound, the lyrics and Josh's screaming were all just...i dont know. I love it.

1. Solaris-Elliot Minor

Funny...i recall making this last weeks number one too! Seriosuly though, i really love this song, i love Ed Minton and Alex Davies' voices, i love Ali's keyboard, i love Dan';s drumming, I love Teddy's basslines and i love Alex and Ed's guitar licks.I full out love this song and i have been listening to it on repeat for most of the day. Also, im an Elliot Minor obsessed fangirl.

This is what happens when I get bored

Neil Gaiman linked his followers on twitter to this blog, which I personally think that that some fanbases in particular really need to see and absorb.  The stalkerism that I have seen since begin to follow more recent bands of a certain genre has shocked and dismayed me to no end.  Of course I was already aware that the paparrazzi overstep their bounds and that anyone can have a random obsessive fan, but I the sense of entitlement I have seen displayed here (and by here, I in no way refer only to S//C, which I do tell people is, for the most part, chockful of some very decent people, but more of the collective fanbase here) has left me ashamed to call myself a "fan" of anything anymore.

I don't know how far reading this very well-written rant will go toward curbing that ridiculous attitude that quite a sizable number of people seem to have (and that the bands have in the nicest way possible suggested isn't healthy,) but I'm willing to try!

everybody has them. the bands that introduced you to the music you listen to now.

i'm not afraid to admit it, simple plan was my favorite band for two years of my life. i dedicated every free minute of my time to knowing everything i could about them. i was obsessed. they were the first band that i ever really knew the names of, or anything about their personal lives. as some of you may know, simple plan toured with paramore, and since i had to know everything about simple plan, i downloaded paramore's music.

also, when i was... 9? well, nineish. my dad and i were best friends. i used to go to minor league hockey games with him all the time. everytime we'd be on our way to the games, the middle by jimmy eat world would come on, and i knew every single world. i was a huuuuuge jew fan. eventually i bought bleed american and i still listen to jimmy eat world religiously.

i've also gotta give cred to fall out boy, they opened me up to a world of pop punk that i didn't even know existed before them.

also, taking back sunday, story of the year, the used, matchbook romance, yellowcard, mxpx, spitalfield, rancid, something corporate, and death cab were some of my favourite bands when i was younger. i'm talking grade 6 here.

but, none of this would be possible about my oldest sister, whitney. she was a huuuge taking back sunday, fall out boy, etc. fan, so she's the one i blame for my obsession with music.

so now i want to know.

who are your "gateway bands"?

 

PS BLINK TICKETS CAME TODAY! HOLLER FOR A DOLLAR!

Its a friday night and what else would I be doing?? Lol

 

HERES WHAT TO DO:
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.

Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own".

i could never find a better place to go, until the day i die, i promise i wont change... so you better give up! i dont wanna be told to grow up, and i'm not gunna change, i just wanna have fun. [giant high five to whoever can name that song/band. i'll give you a hint. its by one of the bands that is featured in this post]

anyway, a while ago, i thought i'd write down all the shows i've been to, and future shows i've yet to go to. so just, sit back and relax, and enjoy my list =]

yellowcard, moneen and rufio - september 22, 2005
[okay, so my first concert was like, super rad. haha i got hit on by two older guys and i thought i was sooo cool. i was also in grade 7 at the time. i went with carly, mitchell, darren... and my dad. we stood against the wall and rocked out to yellowcard like nobodies business. this was back when ocean avenue was the only album they had out. by far the youngest people at the show. i loved my life]

simple plan, hedley and the planet smashers - november 29, 2005
[at the time, this was the biggest deal in the world. most of you may not know this, but simple plan was my favorite band, and i knew everything about them. i was completely obsessed with pierre charles bouvier (born may 9, 1979, i totally still remember, haha) but anyway, this concert completed my short 13 or so years of life.]

the rolling stones and three days grace - october 8, 2006
[my city doesnt get many big bands coming through here, so it was a huuuge deal when the rolling stones decided to come. to be honest, i was super excited for three days grace. but wow, even though the rolling stones are like, 80, they can still rock out]

the spill canvas, ten second epic and the reason - february 17, 2007
[this still remains as one of my favourite shows. i went with my sister, her roommate, and my friend mackenzie (who i've only seen like, twice since) this was before tsc released, no really, i'm fine, and one fell swoop is still one of my favourite albums. and ten second epic and the reason are both awesome canadian bands. i loved ten second epic so much at the time, and this was the first concert i ever met a band member at (dan from ten second epic, i was in love) and the reason have since been on heavy rotation on my ipod]

mariana's trench and faber drive - april 1, 2007
[both canadian bands, they have a song that says "slap you like a bitch and you take it like a whore" so i bought a shirt that says MARIANAS TRENCH, THEY SLAPPED ME LIKE A BITCH AND I TOOK IT LIKE A WHORE! needless to say, my mom found out, didn't approve, and hid it somewhere. i still, to this day, have never seen the shirt since]

anberlin, jonezetta and the reason - april 20, 2007
[okay, wow. first time seeing anberlin live, and i like, crapped myself. everything about this night was awesome. i caught (k)nate's drumstick, and bought a shirt right from deon. if you have not seen anberlin live, wow, just go see them now.

ten second epic, living with lions and the holly springs disaster - july 5, 2007
[all canadian bands. i still love ten second epic, and my sister is friends with one of the guys in the holly springs disaster. living with lions was... eh. but whatever.]

the spill canvas, meg and dia, playradioplay and idiot pilot - october 22, 2007
[this was right after tsc released no really, i'm fine, and it was amazing. i was the only one who knew who meg and dia was, so it was a lot of fun for their set. this show probably had the worst sound though, but when spill came on, the sound problems went away and it was perfect. my sister's friend was at the back of the crowd, and i was front row center. when it was all quiet she yelled "I LOVE JAMIE-LEE" and then nick from the spill canvas says "who doesnt love that person?" and i was in heaven.

kanye west, rihanna and lupe fiasco - may 29, 2008
[probably the randomest of the concerts. what can i say? i totally love kanye west. and lupe. and rihanna's pretty badass too. chris brown showed up at the show and danced all over the place. (i should have thrown something at him haha) but my sister bought me the ticket for my birthday, i was pretty excited)

warped tour (all time low, the color fred, mayday parade, say anything, cobra starship, we the kings, motion city soundtrack) - august 5, 2008
[my first warped tour, and wow, it was amazing. started off the day with ATL, who i'd been waiting to see since grade 8. got to meet jack =) and many other fun things happened this day. wayy too many things to name, i believe i wrote a journal about this one, go check it out]

anberlin, madina lake and between the trees - january 24, 2009
[most of you heard me talking about how freakin excited i was to see this show. i wrote a journal on how amazing it was and all the amazing people i met. anberlin blew me away, once again, madina lake we're cocky and kinda lame, between the trees was AMAZING and ryan kept looking at me cause i was the only one who knew the words. nikki would lean over and say "wow jamie, he TOTALLY just looked right at you]

bryan adams (acoustic) - february 12, 2009
[he's 49, and i'd still be all over that. god, he's beautiful. and an amazing songwriter to boot. i also wrote a journal about this one]

great lake swimmers and kate maki - march 24, 2009
[i guess i never wrote a journal about this one. but it was so much fun. me, nikki, tori and michele were the youngest people there, and it was just a bunch of chill people enjoying music. no pushing and no ear-peircing fan girl squeals. i loved it. folk shows are amazing.]

bloc party and hot hot heat - may 2, 2009
[NEXT SATURDAY, WOOOO!]

no doubt, paramore and bedouin soundclash - july 13, 2009
[cant freakin wait. =) =)]

my favourite one would have to be anberlin, between the trees and madina lake. and that's just because of the pure amazingness of it. (warped tour doesnt count as a single show, just cause it's an all day thing, so my favourite "festival" was warped)

what is the best show you've been to? the worst? got any up and coming shows? let me know, let's talk.

check out them braces. oh how i dont miss them.

Simple Plan’s Pierre Bouvier tells us when he’s felt the most humbled, what he’s most grateful for, what he’d still most like to experience and if he’s ever wanted to quit.

The All-American Rejects’ Tyson Ritter tells us how it took a lot of effort to get ‘When The World Comes Down’ out of them, how he feels like a different person to the one he was two years ago, how their new backing singers are really rad and have great pitch and how it would be amazing to support Bon Jovi on a stadium tour in Europe.

You Me At Six’s Josh Franceschi tells us how you can tell who is the real deal, how Matt Barnes drinks excessive amounts of alcohol, how there are always going to be people who don’t like you and how he’d most like to be in Jim Adkins’ shoes.

Stone Gods’ Richie Edwards talks about how ‘Silver Spoon And Broken Bones’ will always hold a special place in his heart, how British louts have messed up beautiful places, how you’re not more of a music fan in you’re technically minded and how ignorance is bliss.

My American Heart’s Larry Soliman discusses how he shouldn’t judge anyone, how ‘Yellow’ by Coldplay is one of the greatest songs ever written, how he wishes there was a camera in their van sometimes and how he gets picked on because he listens to music no-one else in the band listens to.

The Pink Spiders’ Matt Friction chats about how being a better guitarist means he can write better songs, how they get lumped into a genre that they don’t belong to, how the band feels like the unruly stepchild that’s out of control and how the band is in some ways being taken hostage.

Oh No Not Stereo’s Sky Nielsen and Mykul Lee talk about how they sold their soul for their band, how they feel like four peas in a pod with Airin Older and Jussi Karvinen on board, how addiction can be so powerful it’s almost impossible for inspiration to change your actions and how a near death experience gave Sky new appreciation for life.

Sherwood tell us how they won’t stop until the UK and Ireland are their servants and devoted diciples, how they want to show people that there’s more variety in music, how it’s off-putting when bands get political and how Nate is very visually talented.

Underride’s Rev talks about eating glass and drinking shots, how he’s a ‘fuck-tard from Cleveland’, how they play hair metal songs to raise money for animals and how he’s going to play music until he dies – or until he gets a chrome plated cod piece.

Heaps of concert reviews including Fall Out Boy/Boys Like Girls/You Me At Six, Kill Hannah, Hanoi Rocks, Disturbed/Shinedown, Go:Audio, Less Than Jake, Army Of Freshmen, Simple Plan, Funeral For A Friend, Attack Attack and Elliot Minor/Anberlin

HEYY ALL!!!!
so my ipod died about a month ago and of course its not covered under my good for nothing two year warranty. so when i saw the buzznet playlist contest i was rlly happy cuz the prize is A NEW IPOD!!!! which i really need cuz im beyond broke and any money i ever get will always go to my concer ticket funds haha.
so heres the link. go take a listen and BUZZZZ ITT!!!
much love all
http://xothemainexopatkirchxo.buzznet.com/user/playlists/peacelovemusic-5184333/

and this seems to be a good place to do so... so Kaity (prettyinpunk27) posted a journal (http://prettyinpunk27.buzznet.com/user/journal/3666451/all-time-low-much-more/) and i read it and connected and desided i needed to post a similar one, so to the 2 maybe three of you that read this here you go....
im not gonna write about God, because you will all end up hating me and my skewed fucked up views. im not gonna tell you that one band saved me but i will tell you this, music very well may have. so rewind to a small 3rd or fourth grade girl (sorry dont remeber exactly) in a mini van around twilight listening to "Welcome To My Life" on sirius hits one (right after they launched..... wow this is scary how well i remeber this i even remeber what stop light i was at....) and this girl always likes listenign to music but never really listened...... but now singing along to the radio something clicks, she goes home downloads the song and starts to listen to the lyrics of songs more closly now.
you have to understand this girl is a person who was having daily fights with her mom since kindergarden, has devorced parent (a brutal devorce i still remember way to clearly, and still get night mares from, i was 3 when my dad moved out and i still remeber them fighting and my sister trying to distract me in my room, not memories i want to have) this girl has a step dad that she fights with alot and a sister the is her sister, her mother and her bestfriend just got a new boy friend and no onger pays attention to her when she hears this song. this third grader crys herslef to sleep at night, the kids at school pick on her, she doesnt get along with teachers and only has one friend.

now we fast forward to this same girl in eighth grade, her sister now has moved out, and she is alone, still fights with her parent still has noghtmares and at this point has spent weeks at freinds houses to avoid her parents.sher gets in a fight at school during PE and breaks a kids arm the week before thanksgiving and is suspended for a week during this week she surfs myspace finding all this music but this music isnt as little as she thinks most bands are pretty big compared to what i listen to now. but she starts connecting with more and more music. she stops listenign to top 40 radio and turns on the Alternative station now in ninth grade her new friend plays her a song the day before winter break the song is about a guy who would do anythign for his girlfriend hed even "swim the ocean for [her] the ocean for [her] whao-oh-oh Kelsey" yep Kelsey by metro station that girl spends all winter break looking at this band "Metro Station" and all these other tiny bands she finds by winter break tenth grade year she only wears band shirts and skinny jeans

so when people ask me when i got into music i tell them i always have been, third grade was one level, eighth grade anouther and ninth a new one but the summer before tenth (this laast summer) was a new one yet again, i got friends who shared the passion i have. i said i wasnt going to talk about god but since i was inspired but Kaity im going to a little bit because i can remeber being in fifth grade and during the Amedah (silent prayer/most personal blah blah blah look it up if you really care) asking for friend that understood me, the same way kaity found ATL and they showed her she wasnt alone i wanted the same thing and i found it i found it in two crazies i call my best friends and i found it in the music i listen to the lyrics that speak to me. so in a way my prayer was also answered. i am never alone if im in a box with no human contact i am not alone anymore! i have Alex William Gaskarth's voice to tell me that "your cheap shots wont be able to break bones" of Mason Tyler Musso to tell me that hed "swim the ocean" i have John Cournilliouse O'Callaghan the fifth to tell me that "one things for sure you dont have to worry"and i have Jean Paul Maklouph tellign to "throw your hands in the sky like your flying" when im having a bad day. so fine you can put me down its nothing i havnt been told i spent nine years getting bullied at school and screamed at at home i found my peace i have now spent a year and a half happy and confedent throught the word coming out of my iPod.

that is way longer then i expected..........
