I am by no means a straight kid.
I've had my history and I've had my therapists and I've had my medications.
Borderline Personality Disorder has drug me in and out and up and down causing me to find my only relief in that so much needed music.
Then I discovered Say Anything and had the biggest emotional response to a record that I had experience. Every single word was one of my thoughts or my visions or my emotions- I had never heard anything so relatable in my existence.
I was addicted, read up on the band, and discovered Max's Bipolar disorder.
I knew that was the connection.
What my friends were hearing wasn't what I heard.
I understood...
And let a sigh of relief to hear things I was criticized for believing.
I'm not being purposely over-dramtic when I say that this band has really impacted my life time and time again.
Each show has given me an entire new perspective on life.
And this album has just saved me in an even different sense.
I really would like to just sit down and thank Max for what he's done for me.
I'm sure he hears how great he is from everyone every day...but this is in a completely different scope.
I'm not a fan, I'm a believer.
I Kill Kill Kill Little Girls
I was shocked when I found out SA was playing a Catholic college.
I was just wondering if they did their research- especially when I was front and center of a BIKE RACK rail.
I had been talking to the show promoter (I am in the same position at my college) and they were more interested in Hellogoodbye and the MySpace tour as a whole.
We arrived early, it was freezing cold, the openers where Polysics (SICK) and Young Love (redundant).
Hellogoodbye and Say Anything were alternating headlining.
Say Anything went last at this performance.
