we're wasting memories

Firstly, I have to say some things that happened in public buses.

I had a chance to sit beside this... rather plump guy who took up three-quarts of the seat.
I was REALLLLLLLLY uncomfortable.
Had to endure at least five minutes of squeezing in the inner part of the seat.
I so wished I could have gotten up at once! :/
Sorry, but I was afraid, you see.
I read about those reports where these molest cases would happen.
I don't really like men sitting beside me.
Yeah, and I also don't like sitting in the inner part of the seat. ;/
I may sound... selfish or whatever, but I assure you, I'm not.

Secondly was something that happened today.
Actually it happens quite often.
Now that technology is so advanced, and music can be played with the handphone, people abuse it.
They crank the volume quite high, (to the point that I can't actually hear the music from my ipod) and play songs.
And of all songs, they had to play Kelvin Tan's songs. The Project Superstar guy? :/
I mean, he's okay.. it's just the songs I don't like.
And the person with the phone was like... a middle-aged auntie, so that's perfectly understandable...
Anyway, I think it is QUITE inconsiderate.
Please think of the people around you.
:/

Okay, so I've read... that McFLY have broken yet another record.
They broke the record of being the youngest band to have a number 1 album (all thanks to Dougie for bringing their average age down significantly), beating the Beatles in 2004.
This time, I don't think it is any cause for celebration.
If anything, we fans should be quite abashed at this record that they've broken... :(
I'm really... disappointed to announce this.

In May 2007, McFly's double A side single "Baby's Coming Back/ Transylvania" dropped from the top spot to number 20; the biggest fall from the summit in chart history. A drop of this magnitude had been registered on one previous occasion when, in January 2005, the limited edition re-issue of Elvis Presley's "One Night / I Got Stung" fell to number 20 after a single week at number one. So this 'honour' is in fact shared. Elvis fans are quick to point out that (a) there were insufficient stocks in the shops (due to its limited nature) and (b) the tracks had been available as singles before. McFly fans have no similar defence as it remained freely available and was on first time of release.

This is devastating.
And another set of news.
Remember the cd-dvd edition of MITO they re-released?

It charted at number 14.

I mean, shouldn't we be ashamed?
The fans, I mean?
They really have done a lot for us... and we repaid them with THAT kind of results.
Okay, so it may have been a RE-release, but it came with a DVD, free!
And all the signings they did in the UK?
The numerous tours?
Them working their asses off trying to please their fans, us!?
I know I am not of any position to be blaming the fans, or really, ourselves... since I haven't actually done anything to help.
But it's not like I don't WANT to! I can't help it if I can't actually text message to get the single, or use iTunes, because I ain't got a credit card, and my mom won't actually allow me to use hers... Oh, and not ALL their albums/singles are not available here, and not being in the UK is the biggest bane. :/
These two news have really put my mood wayyyyyy off. :(
I really need to think of ways to help this band I so love.
Yes, any suggestions would be dandy.
I'm not going to neglect my GCSE's though, don't worry.
:(
Flyers?
Posters?
Magazines?
Please give me some ideas.
I don't want them to break up, although they say they will not... for some time.
At this rate, they probably will (touch wood)... :(

Current mood- sad, disappointed, dejected.
