In Formal Mourning

It was around 10am on a Saturday.

I was laying in bed, checking twitter and procrastinating

instead of studying for my exams and i decided to look on The Virgin's twitter account to see if they had any funny new tweets(because they usually do)
But no, all that was there was a farewell tweet from Donald and a link to an article in Rolling Stone Magazine about their split.

If you haven't heard already I hate to inform you that my favorite band, The Virgins has made like a banana.... and split.

After two albums and seven years. :(

I literally cried when I found out. 

I only found out about this band earlier this year at a sleepover with my two best friends Celine and Lilly. It was one of those typical teenage sleepovers where we talked about boys, our feelings, and ate teeny goldfish crackers on my best friends bedroom floor.

As we were gathered around the ipod Celine said "You guys should listen to The Virgins" and then she proceeded to play "Fernando Pando" muttering the words "Don't worry, it gets better." 

It didn't need to get better for me, I was already in love. 

Days went by before I actually listened to them again, but when I did, man the impromptu dance parties in Simon's classroom were endless.

Those guys got me through a lot of bullshit to be honest. In my opinon, their music just gives off a cool vibe and it makes me feel better about almost whatever situation I'm in the middle of.

And could we take a minute to talk about how great their tweets are(were)?

(i could go on, but i digress..)

I mean this band has only been with me for a short amount of time but I don't love them any less.  I don't know what it is about them but I just can't not feel something to know that they've split... I kind of feel like my entire freshman year soundtrack was of The Virgins self titled album and my Sophomore year has been just like their "Strike Gently" album and now what's going to become of my junior

and senior years? 

Hopefully I'll find another band who can replace this virgins sized hole in my heart. :(

(except I doubt that that will ever happen because The Virgins just get me, man)

But, with that being said.
I love you, lovlies.

Cherish your bands... while you still have them
