- I'll tell you what I love about Lupe Fiasco, besides EVERYTHING: ( I love the way he talks about women in his lyrics. )
- SO on a totally different, but still music-related, note, last night I went to this ( hilariously tiny and wretched bar in Trenton. ) I think my favorite part of the night was ( GABE SAPORTA REINCARNATED. )
- And then we came home and Rachel made me watch Release the Bats and told me which parts had vomiting so I could look away. ( Some observations behind the cut. )
- I bought the ( MSI live DVD this morning. )
- I'm really psyched to meet more ( Jersey-area fangirls. )
- My New Year's Resolution is to stop making LJ posts in list form.
- ETA: COBRA STARSHIP SHUT YOUR FUCKING FACES. YOU TOO, GUY RIPLEY. How did I never realize before that they would make the most amazing reality show participants in the universe? Wow I love them kind of ridiculously.

Gerard fucking Way, how are you so beautiful? Seriously, inquiring minds want to know. AND ALSO HOW ARE YOU SO PRECIOUS. God damn, I could mash your face into my boobs and never let you go. Or, you know, something a little less creepy/invasive!
I don't know, I'm having an outbreak of Gerardolopoly. Go watch this again, everybody. There is no day that cannot be improved by Gerard and Frank disagreeing about whether Gerard sleeps naked, and Gerard talking about his preference for matching pajamas. I'm picturing, like, contrast piping and a dressing gown. OH GERARD, GERARD, YOU MAKE MY HEART BURN.
New Jerseyyyyy t minus mere hours
P.S. Why has no one ever told me about these lyrics to Give 'Em Hell, Kid?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA OH HONEY. YOU REALLY REALLY DO.

I JUST. I JUST.
Gerard singing "Cancer" at Maxwell's in Hoboken. ( I do not even have words. )
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I haven't been to sleep yet. I had a migraine yesterday. I still don't have a computer. I think I need to lie down and think about Gerard's sweaty angelic face some more.

So you may have heard that some people disapprove of stagegay in bandom. I do not! ( My thoughts on this, let me show you them. )
- I do not know what it says about me that the time I choose to become startlingly attracted to and interested in Ryan Ross is when he enters his ( floral scarf/hippie/lunatic phase. )
- I laughed kind of a lot at this random ( Projekt Rev review. )
- Hey, so on a similar topic, someone hated on a band I love to me again. ( AGAIN. )
- ALSO YOU GUYS YOU GUYS GUESS WHAT. Pete's favorite Care Bear is Grumpy Bear. Or, in other words, Slave Bear of Care-A-Lot. Guyyyys I want to send him a Q&A linking to that story so bad it hurts me inside.
- Wow, I didn't even know this could happen, but I got embarrassment squicked by an article someone requested at work today! The title of this article is, I shit you not, "Studying Zinc Biology with Fluorescence: Ain't We Got Fun?" It makes me want to crawl into a hole and cry.

I read some badfic yesterday, and oh my god, it was really effing bad. It was the kind of thing where you're suckered into believing it's not THAT bad, just a little melodramatic, maybe! And then you get to part 38 and literally everyone in the story except the main characters is homophobic/a child abuser/a gay homophobic child abuser. And also one of the main characters hits the other one sometimes but that's okay because they're in love and it's for his own good and he didn't hit him that hard really. And also lube is just something people use when they don't love each other enough to go without. God, and by then you can't just STOP, you need to see what HAPPENS, and so you keep reading it and reading it and crying a little in your soul. You know?
And then you have a fourteen-email conversation with a friend about how bad it was and how you read the whole thing.
ALSO, WHAT.

1. You know what is weirding me out right now? The fact that
lolbands ( is an LJ featured community. )
2. In other news, I srsly have to stop lounging around on my bed right in front of a big window on the first floor with the curtains open and ( no pants on. )
3. I realize this is kind of a stretch, but I am working with a THEME here, so: it makes me uncomfortable how FUCKING PRECIOUS JON WALKER AND TOM CONRAD ARE. UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY PANTS! WHICH I AM NOT WEARING. MY METAPHORICAL PANTS, OKAY.
Oh, fuck this theme, I am encountering too much awesome to stick with it. Whatever! You guys can deal, I think.
HERE IS SOME AWESOME:
1. The idea of Ianto Jones/Willow Rosenberg queer het, proposed by
lipsum. Oh my God, I approve! I read a lot of Why Slash? type meta back... well, back before I had an LJ, actually, and one question people often seemed to ask was, "What if someone took two canonically queer characters and put them in a heterosexual relationship? WHAT THEN?!" My answer to that, babies, is "HELL YES." Provided it's done right, of course – meaning that it should be just as queer, if not queerer, than sticking to canon relationships. See, for example, that fic
somewhatdeluded wrote for the
bandslashmania pornathon, which is M/F/F! That should be super straight, right? Hahaha, no.
2. GERARD IS DATING LYN-Z FROM MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE. ( SRSLY. )
3. MCR seems to be approaching some kind of hotness event horizon. Gah.

- Lately, Pete has been spelling shit correctly in his blog posts – or, at least, there don't seem to be any accidental typos. THIS IS HUGE FOR ME, PEOPLE. Is it the iPhone??? Is it just that he found a real computer for once? I really hope it's the iPhone, because that means he'll keep doing it. (Maybe next: CAPITAL LETTERS. DARE TO DREAM.)
- Doctor Who. Doctor fucking Who, I love you so hard. I can't imagine that anyone who cares hasn't seen the finale yet, but ( vague and meta-y spoilers. )
- I went and read what you guys wrote about me in the anonymous love meme, and then I cried. I love you TOO. Also, akdsjaflkjsfd I wish it wasn't anonymous, because omg, TEASES!!! (Hahahahaha, except those of you who fail at anonymity. Anonywhat?) ILU TOOOOOO, OH GOSH. HEARTS AND HEARTS. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
- SPEAKING of anonymity (whoa, was that not an amazing segue?) I keep thinking about ( Gerard and alcoholism, oh my God, pretty much all the time. )
okay. okay. I'm done now. - HAHAHAHAHAHA PETE IS ON THE COVER OF SOME MAGAZINE SAYING HE'S "HALF-GAY". IT'S CALLED BISEXUAL, SWEETIEPIE. COME SIT WITH US AT THE QUEER TABLE. WE SAVED YOU SOME SEQUINS.
You know, sometimes I wonder whether Gerard and Frank being gay for each other on stage is mostly fanon. And then Frank licks Gerard's thigh.
I CANNOT EVEN.
I CANNOT EVEN.
It's times like this, when I'm curled up in bed with an empty pizza box* at 4:30 in the morning, avoiding writing a paper, that I realize just how much of a college student I really am. SIGH.
*Yeah, literally. I mean. The trash can is really far away? /o\
So hey, you know what I've been thinking about? Unironic love! Because, okay, let's just admit it: a lot of my fannish love is at least partly ironic. (Paul Gross and Ryan Ross, I'm looking at you.) I mock because I love, I promise! But there's also some of my love that is totally, completely unironic, and, well. You know who gets a lot of my unironic love right now? GERARD WAY.
Yeah, this is the ( Gerard Way Love Manifesto. )
Oh my God, that was really embarrassingly sincere. So, talk to me about unironic love, my pretties! Tell me about the last time you really seriously found yourself admiring Pete Wentz's literary skillz, or how much you would honest to God give Paul Gross a blowjob if the opportunity presented itself, or how Ryan Ross is actually kind of a misunderstood genius. I am listening! I will not judge you very much!

I had a lovely time at
celli's apartment Saturday night! On our way there,
etben and I waited for the damn bus for forty minutes, even though it's supposed to come every six. Awesome, CTA. Another win for y'all. But we ( entertained ourselves with bandslash )
I've met so many fangirls in real life now, especially compared with this time last year, when I hadn't met any at all (also, I was underage, ahahaha), and it just – ( never STOPS being wonderful )
I seem to be continuing this theme of dreams about people/characters I've never met? I had about SIX Friday night, and I ended up getting a notebook to put by my bed so I wouldn't forget them all, although I know I missed a few. Here's the transcription of my notes for posterity, ( absolutely verbatim )
