Welcome to FGR!
This is Fangirl Rant! The place where we, the fangirls rant (and sometimes rave) about our favorite (or least favorite)movies, music, T.V, celebrities, what have you. The founders, MK and Megan are just your normal, everyday fangirls and you can feel free to disagree with us on anything, just be nice about it. DO NOT leave any comments being nasty just for the sake of being nasty, or we will block your ass.
--- It all started back in 2003, when Mk and Emmy met in the cafeteria of Hedgesville High School, through a mutual friend (Emmy's then boyfriend) and bonded over - I kid you not - a CD of cartoon theme songs. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a CD of cartoon themes is what sparked the fandom twosome of MK and Emmy, but ya'll know it surely doesn't end there...
After meeting again at Emmy's graduation party in 2005, Mk and Megan (who had met before) became friends via the wonder that is the internet, and eventually, the three together formed a trifecta of fandomoscity that, honestly, is probably kind of scary to the outside observer.
In the spring of 2008, Mk, Emmy, and Megan drove almost 9 hours to Pikeville, KY to see Seether, Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace (how's that for dedication, yo?) and it was an amazing experience. They each walked away with a greater appreciation for the bands than before. MK and Megan went from being average fans of Seether, to being hard-core Seether fangirls. Both were frustrated with the lack of Seether communities on Live Journal, so they decided "Hey! Let's make our own community!" Upon further reflection, they decided it would be even more fun to make a community where they could rant and rave about ALL the things they fangirl over.
Thus, FGR! Was born. They decided to locate it both on Live Journal and MySpace, because they're cool like that, and are having so much fun writing up rants for ya'll to read.
They're hoping that in the not-too-distant future, that they'll be able to bring you audio and/or video blogs, and whatever other cool stuff they can think of.
So have fun, leave comments, tell us what you think about what we've said, and stay tuned for more from FGR!
Some things you should know..
-The Tall Guy Rule: Also referred to as "the TGR." This is something you'll hear alot about. It's is a rule invented by MK for selecting men. It is a well known fact that MK is attracted to pretty much any male with a pulse, but being 5'10", is naturally more attracted to really tall men. Basically, the taller the better. (Ideally, a guy tall enough that she can wear her 4" heels and still have to look up at him.)But there will always be shorter men that she will find attractive, because she's kind of a whore like that. SO when you hear her say "I'd so break the tall guy rule for him," you now know what the hell she's talking about!
Meet the Fangirls!
{M.K.} Martinsburg, WV. 20 years old(5.11.1988)
The MK is for Mary Kathryn. You can call me MK, Mary, Mary Kathryn, Mary K, or filthy gutter slut for all I care, but call me Mary-Kate and I'll put a fucking hit out on you, I swear.
I'm a student at Shepherd University, majoring in Mass Communications and minoring in Theatre. Not entirely sure what I'm gonna do with that when I graduate, but whatever.
Most of the pics in FGR's "My Photos" album are of me, because although I'm not the most photogenic person, I'm still kind of a camera whore.
I'm an equal-opportunity fangirl. I fangirl over a whole lot of things, and I make an effort to try out new things. What's the point in limiting yourself when it comes to fandoms? I think people who only stick to a single genre of something are boring. I like variety.
Music I like everything from Mötley Crüe to Mozart. See? Variety. Haha. I like a little bit of every kind of music. Yeah, there's a higher concentration in the rock genre, but even with that one genre there is a huge range of sounds. As you've probably already noticed, my favorite band of all time is The Doors. But as far as current music is concerned, my favorite would be a 4-way involving Ludo, Breaking Benjamin, Foo Fighters, and Seether (*sings* which one of these is not like the others? HAHA!).
As far as people I want to meet, I want to meet anyone and everyone, but there are a few specifics: -I want to meet Jamie Tworkowski and give him a great big hug.I'll finish this later. I'm lazy.

{Megan} 20 years old (12-18-1987) Laurel, Maryland. I'm a college student in Columbia, MD, and soon I will be graduating and will go to university. I have a lot of fandoms, mainly from TV shows and books, though I am always willing to find new ones.
Movies: I like tons of movies, and there's too many to list here. I pretty much like anything as long as it has a good plot, characters that don't annoy me and isn't torture porn.
Music: Like movies, my musical tastes are broad, though the only music I don't like is rap and hip-hop.
Books: I LOVE books. They are literally my life. More often than not, you can find me sitting to the side, listening to my iPod and reading a book. Since I'm a History major, I read a lot of history books, but I also like true crime books; ones about serial killers, and fantasy/sci-fi. Some of my favourite books are Lord of the Rings, Watchmen, The 10th Kingdom, The Silver Kiss, Blood and Chocolate, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
