The Cast of Characters

Hey there everybody. My name is Melissa,I'm 17, and I made this site fer yer viewin pleasure ;o)
I MET BILLY CORGAN TODAY!!!! (Feb 26, 2000) I'm afraid I wasn't very eloquent...I haltingly thanked him for making Adore, the most beautiful album I own, and I told him he was an inspiration to me...he gave me a hug and called me angel...winked at me. I waited in line for 6 hours and met the best people...most of which I'll probably never see again. (To anyone that was there, I was the one who claimed to be Miss Kenosha, and offered to take off my pants for pumpkins tickets....I'd love to talk to you guys again, PLEASE email me and we'll get together, my treat, anywhere! It was the most fun I've had in AGES, especially when we yelled at the guy in the green pants ;o) )
I will treasure my poster for the rest of my life. Melissa Auf der Maur signed it and then wrote "Melissa loves rock!!!" And James made his out to me, and Jimmy signed "With all my love.."
I got excellent pictures of everyone BUT Billy...when I met him, I forgot completely that I had a camera in my hand... I'll post the pictures when I get them developed, I promise.
And now the moment you've been waiting for-my own personal top ten list!
Things I love-
1 The Pumpkins and most esp Billy-duh!
2. Planes Trains and Automobiles-the best movie ever made! Hilarious and sad at the same time. I didn’t cry at the end of Titanic, but I cried at the end of this movie. But if you get this movie, rent it. Don’t wait for the USA network to show it-they cut out the best parts so it can fit in their time slot.
3. Once Bitten-an indie flick starring a very young Jim Carrey-another of my favorite actors... this and Rubberface are great movies with him in them-and not very well known I might add. Out of all his lesser-known films, I love Doing Time on Maple Drive the best of all-he plays an alcoholic-not a typical role.
4. Mortal Kombat-almost as cool as DOOM!
5. Great America...it is inDEED fun...but the prices are scarier than the rides. 6. Pretending you like Satan to scare adults.
7. My guitar-it’s my baby
8.The fact that, one day, I will get out of this house and control my own life!
9. Book burning-let’s face it, bad “classic” literature needs to be burned after suffering in honors english lit.
10. All you really cool people that feel the same way I do about Billy and the Pumpkins in general-you make me keep this site going, when I get discouraged, you’re behind me.

Things that really suck ass:
1. Goth kids get blamed for everything...and I'm not even goth, I just like the color black dammit!
2. My english class has taken away my love of reading-it’s a sad thing when a teacher turns a child AWAY from a book!
3. Getting in major trouble for wearing an I LOVE SATAN shirt to school.
4. Finding no good music on the radio after listening to it for hours.
5. Stupid stupid stupid hotmail that won't let me log in-did I mention they're stupid???
6. Having a ton of guy friends and knowing that none of them want you.
7. Having guards with guns at the school. ok, it doesn't just suck-it's frightening.
8. Blow drying your hair straight for 20 minutes, and the looking outside and seeing that it's raining and you know that the second *one drop* of water touches your hair you'll have a big curly afro again...
9. Having a really tough day at school and then having to go to work right away.
10. Getting your very first car and getting into an accident that's completely not your fault, just a fluke, and you get a ticket anyway, and you have no car anymore because your front end is torn off, and all the really bad drivers I know don't get into accidents-what the hell? and now I have to ride the friggin bus which leaves at 6:15 in the morning-school doesn't start until 7:30...I used to GET UP at 6:15......grrrrr


Tips for Teens
Don't get caught midstream. Don't pet burning goats. If your car keys fall into a puddle of lava, don't reach in after them-they're gone man. Sometimes strangers have the best candy. Don't sleep, the clowns will eat you. When asked about your clothing, you have one of two ways to respond "I dress this way to disturb you" or "These ARE my church clothes." If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.
Pumpkins fans are the best, because they are the most caring individuals and Kira personifies that........ e-mail me at Darknight_Starla.

You can find me on mIRC at irc.webmaster.com #teenhangout (nick glassghost)

Um hello :) this would be where i write something about myself i think so let me attempt to do this. i was majorly obbsessed with SP for about 2 years and i've kinda lost most of my interest in them now. don't get me wrong, i still love SD and their older stuff, but i guess it was time for me to move on. i still obviously respect them as a band and i think i always will. happy one year anniversary to this site! it's been around a year now. melissa does a great job with it, i hardly even need to help with it anymore.

i use to have a couple of web sites but they got deleted because the server they were on died. i have a new site, but it's really no big deal, it's just something my friends see. i'm into punk and ska music and stuff like that. hmm anyway i hope everyone likes the new look of the site :)

Simon runs Fly High with the Pumpkins- he's the first person I (Melissa) wrote to when I got the internet. He has proven to be a loyal and trustworthy friend. When I wanted to make a site, he gave me advice, and helped me when I was pissed.He's the wheelin' dealin' Pumpkins man, and he's great at it.

"Hi, my name is Simon (aka Rocket). I live in Quebec City and I'm 16 years old. I'm not one of the people that work the most on this page, I just try to help whenever there's a problem. Darknight Starla first contacted me through my own web page Fly High With The Pumpkins asking me to help out a bit. Anyway, I've been a Pumpkin fan since March 1996, after hearing Bullet With Butterfly Wings. So all of you people that say MCIS era fans aren't real, you can go... :) Keep on loving the Pumpkins, they rock!"

BRIAN-THE RESIDENT BADASS GUITARIST

I am 19 and live in sunny ol' San Diego, California.  This is an old picture of me from the evening before prom back in May of 1997.  Maybe I'll be able to scan a more recent picture of myself ever since I shaved my head.I run the Obscured Smashing Pumpkins Tab Page and I'm trying to finish transcribing most of their tunes so I can start working on the new ones in May.  I've been playing guitar now for over 3 years and basically haven't put the thing down ever since I got it.  I am currently in the process of recording a decent demo of my "band" on my 4-track.   I have 1 fan who plays bass for me and a drummer who is kind of in the band but I wouldn't call him very interested.  I've also been listening to the Pumpkins since 1993 and they've been my favorite band ever since I listened to Siamese Dream for the first time (which I still claim is the most incredible album ever). Mayonaise is just the greatest song ever and Soma, Geek Usa, and Hummer are up there at the top.  I don't do any work for this page other than chat to Melissa via email.  If you need to contact me for some odd reason you can email me atobscured@san.rr.com.
