Honey video!!
Go watch, then come freak out with me over how freaking gorgeous Greta is, and how I wouldn't say no to a single dress she wears. Ughhhhhh.
Also, let's rewrite that ending, yes?
Poll #1157573 you've got a dark heart
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: Allgreta is running toward...?

09:06 pm - erin go bragh, and such
Happy St. Patrick's day, guys! To celebrate, I...slept in for a long time and did exceedingly little! Eh, cut me some slack, I'm on spring break.
Here, though, for you, is a little minispam of some of my favorite band boys in green:

05:20 pm - the hush sound: still better than you
Covering The Heartbreakers' "American Girl."
Greta being preeeeeeeeeetty, good LORD. (Where is the His Girl Friday AU, she asks in that second shot?)
I cannot WAIT for Goodbye Blues, but at the same time, I'm thrilled that it hasn't leaked. Not just for the band, though I do love them dearly, but because the memory of experiencing all of Like Vines for the first time after purchasing it is one of my favorites in recent memory.
Also, you know, when it's time for Goodbye Blues, it'll also be my 21st birthday. \o/
( i kind of love jason mraz )

Good God, I love that boy so much.

YES!!!!
The Roots feat. Patrick--"Birthday Girl." Released 10 days before my birthday. Oh, yeah.
Not my link, for the record. Thanks to the ripper. Feel free to come flip out with me in the comments.
ETA: I need some sort of groupie! AU based off this yesterday. Pete Wentz would TOTALLY lie about his age to meet famous singer Patrick! Come on!

Um, whoa.
Yeah, that's a whole lot of fanfic I recognize. I don't really get why they seem so focused on bandslash--anyone know?
Either way, it's really odd, and not in the Panic at the Disco way.

Happy anniversary, Infinity on High. I cannot believe it's been a year--that seems so long, and yet so short. Thanks for keeping me sane, thanks for making me sing, thanks for making me proud.

12:07 pm - just like a giraffe, you have to climb to find its head
Pete Wentz's life has become incredibly fucking weird, part 2342589:
Good god. I can't lie, though, I really wish this event had culminated with FOB playing in whatever dumbass football thing was happening. Patrick Stump playing football! How adorable of a fall date would that be, tumbling over into a pile of autumn leaves?
( More beach bowl pictures. Damn it, Simpson, you're winning me over, okay? )
But, as always, I'd like to bring the Pete Wentz discussion back to the gay.
( Whoa. )
So, the day after I hear about The Cab's horrific sounding van accident (maybe it's like a rite of passage for FBR bands?), I learn they're playing here on the We The Kings headlining tour. Does anyone know anything about WTK? Good/bad? What about the other bands on that bill? Hopefully, I'll get to speak to the Band of Alexes--I am the unofficial Fueled By Ramen beat reporter, you know.
What else, what else--scored three Panic! tickets in Chicago. Excitement. I'll confess to having my P!ATD love fade a little bit last year, but "Nine In The Afternoon" has totally won me back over. Plus! Motion City! Matt Taylor, adorable bassist extrordinaire! Phantom Planet! I have never seen them! Their albums were the soundtrack to my sophomore/junior years in high school! HUSH SOUND! WHO ARE RELEASING THEIR CD ON MY BIRTHDAY, THANKS FOR THE AWESOME GIFT, GUYS!
Speaking of which, Someone wrote Patrick/Greta porn! Ugh, het musical genius OTP of my soul, people. I wish there were a billion more fics about the recording of Like Vines and how they totally had little crushes on each other but didn't talk about it for professionalism's sake! And then once the album was finally finished mixing, they just JUMPED EACH OTHER. Ugh, yes.
As always, this post is brought to you by ( Patrick Stump. )

11:29 pm - lil' jon, he always tells the truth
Needless to say, I'm extremely shocked and saddened by Heath Ledger's death today. Weirdly enough, I had just been talking about how much I love Brokeback Mountain like, two hours before we heard the news. Such a talent--he was one that I definitely could have seen going far into the future. RIP.
I have a whole separate post of bitching to get off my chest about the Academy Award nominations, but I'll leave that for another day. Suffice it to say: mostly "meh," with some "grrr" here and there.
I love that Pete Wentz apparently takes time out of his life to link to this video. Mostly because I literally watch that performance about once every two months. So incredible.
Mainly, what I've been wanting to say is:
a) I have a lovely new Greta icon.
and
b) Relatedly, a few nights ago I had a dream where I read in a magazine that Gabe Saporta and Greta had begun dating, and were actually helping each other out with a new batch of viral marketing stuff. Huh. Gabe/Greta? Interesting, subconcious.

04:31 pm - the what button?
Here is an interview that I had never seen before today.
This is the third of three brief segments, all of which you should watch.
HOWEVER, IT IS PRETTY CLEAR WHY I CHOSE THIS PART TO EMBED, YES?!??!?! Paaaaaaatrick. With his weird and inappropriate comparisons to studies that I learned in AP Psych. Also, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. That's not even a great instance of the joke, but WHATEVER. PATRICK STUMP, YOU KEEP MAKING YOUR RIDICULOUS INNUENDO JOKES. (Check the beginning of part two for another poorly-placed (yet adorable!) one.)
Also, I find myself weirdly turned on by Patrick's handshake manuever. I don't even know anymore, with that boy, breathing in and out becomes a turn-on.
Today I went to the dentist, and before getting my x-rays done, I had to take out my lip ring. For a split second (or, okay, maybe longer than that), I really wanted to leave it in, just to see if I could get some sort of sweet superpower. No matter how old I get, I think I mentally stopped at 11.

11:25 pm - scarves and hoods
From AP.net:
Timbaland's next single will be "One & Only," featuring Fall Out Boy.
Yessssssssssssssss. I can only dream of the video to come, please god have an explicit version with lots of close-ups of Patrick singing the word "fucking," thanks so much.
In other news. For my own personal reference, I've decided to make a post of all the concert shots I've taken over the last few years that I really love. And hey, who am I kidding? I'm pretty proud of some of these, so I wanted to share them with you guys. Some I've posted before, some not.
Behind the cut, there's 31 pictures: Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, The Hush Sound, Taking Back Sunday, Armor For Sleep, Cobra Starship, Ludo, The Graduate, and Jack's Mannequin.

02:10 pm - i feel stupid, but i know it won't last for long
According to Wikipedia, Matchbox Twenty has sold in excess of 37 million albums worldwide. With all those albums, you would think that at some point in my life I would have made one friend that likes them enough to come see them in Omaha with me this February, right?
Sigh. Clearly this is what I've been doing wrong in my life--not enough Matchbox fans.
Is there a process in the world less fun than working on applications for stuff? I hate having to sell myself using carefully-chosen buzzwords. Come on, I know I'm good enough! Blech. I'll be happy once this whole thing is over with.
And for what it's worth, Panic! will always have an exclamation point in my heart. Give me the HCT dates already! Motion City/Hushies supporting, is there a third? Anyone know?

05:45 pm - for like, 15 seconds
From the comments at this YouTube link, which obviously could be completely fabricated:
At one of the FOB concerts I went to, Patrick, Pete, Andy and Joe were sitting on chairs on the stage, and some girl threw her underwear on Patrick's leg. And the underwear just sat there for like, 15 seconds, until Andy took them off of Patrick's leg. Funny.
Ahahahahaha, oh Patrick. Women are throwing their underwear at you and yet you remain unmoved. And why do I feel like this whole story is an awesome metaphor for FOB's groupie policies--Patrick politely ignores all advances, then Andy swoops in and...takes care of the situation.
I have shopped for clothes today. Now, obviously, I am about ready to collapse with exhaustion, mostly from the emotional taxation of having to look at myself in a million dressing room mirrors which, I have determined have some sort of evil mixed in with the glass material. Phew.

Though I am still on break, I know that many of you guys are back to work as normal. So, a pic of lolarity to help you through your Monday.
And hey, if anyone cares to add their own pics in the comments, that would be amazing as well.
Without further ado:
Happy Monday, all.

07:54 pm - i'm only 23, but...
Oh, Patrick. How so precious?
A radio interview Mr. Dressler did the morning of his L&O debut last week. Fairly unremarkable to those not already Stump-obsessed.
( for those that ARE, however, please feel free to jump in with comments this way )
Also, and I don't do this very often, but hey, whatevs: fic recs!
Masking by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sinsense. Fic that deals with Pete's time in boot camp. An area not often touched by fanfic (and rightfully so, in my opinion--how do you even start to write something like that?), but this is absolutely fantastic. Pete's voice, as a fucked up 14 year old, is still spot-on, and it's just heartbreaking. Read it.
Patricksitting (Call It A Love Song) by adellyna. Ughhhh. Sometimes a story comes along, and you're just like, oh, hey, fic of my heart, you know? This is one of those, for me. Patrick's a high schooler. Pete's his supervision while his parents are gone. Being that they are, you know, Pete&Patrick, the boundaries get blurred and crossed in the most awesome of ways. This is a three-part epic of hothot porn and an adorable beginning!relationship between the guys. Just, yes. Go, read, love as I do.
The Sun Always Shines Here by enoughoflove. This seems to be this writer's first PxP (though I see some Panic! fics by skimming her journal briefly), which makes this all the more amazing, because their dynamic is so on here, AU or not. Set in Portland, Patrick's a littletiny college freshman away from home, and Pete's one of a houseful of guys who take him under their wing. I've never been to Portland, but she writes its charm amazingly well. Really great.
All right, I need to stop, or I'll start feeling like _mydecember_. ;)

08:24 pm - the one day the whole country cares about iowa...
...of course I'm in Kentucky. Sigh. Refreshing the caucus results like crazy and hoping that my friends out there are having an amazing time is pretty much all I can do. (Huckabee? Makes my skin crawl. For the record.)
Pretty much all of today I expanded on the thoughts I had from last night's post about Marty Dressler probably needing the ransom money to pay for some sort of expensive medical treatment for his husband, Creepy Police Officer Pete. Basically recasting Dog Day Afternoon, no big.
Ho-hum. Job interview early tomorrow, even earlier thanks to the fact of the stupid EST cutting through the state. We'll see, I guess. Looking forward to finally seeing Sweeney Todd this weekend, hopefully.
ETA: Barack! Yes! Thank you, Iowa!

09:44 pm - sleeplessness is rest from...
Somehow, we get a garage from the town were passing to send someone to pick Pete and me up to get a "new" tire for twenty dollars. One the way to the shop Pete is telling this hillbilly how we were on a way to an adult film convention in Cleveland and his name was Ron Jeremy. I was doing my best to hide my laughter the entire drive, but the dude making small talk about it was too fucking much.
.....
Guess how hard it is trying to hitchhike looking like to hobo mongoloids with a dirty ass tire? We sat at the on-ramp for the highway for an hour with our thumbs out waiting for someone to help us out.
From Charlie Warchief's new tour stories blog right here, the recounting of an Arma Angelus show from a million years ago. This Pete fascinates me. He's so different and yet so very much the same.
From there, I wandered over to Brian Diaz's journal, aka Pete's friend/bass tech. And found this:
Which, what the fuck, where was I when this happened?!?! PATRICK SINGING ALONG TO "HEY YA," and I just found out now?! Fail, internet.

05:57 pm - i need a hush sound icon. :/
Last night one of my best friends and I went for a spree of joy in St. Louis, featuring a yummy lunch, Juno, Atonement (okay, that one not so much...saaaad), and The Hush Sound in concert! Pretty much the day I could wake up everyday and live.
Anyway, many things were awesome about THS's show last night--Bob blowing an amp and a new one practically sprouting out of nowhere within no time (nice work, techies), Greta looking fab in a shiny blue dress and some kickass boots, Chris looking hotter than usual in a black button-down, and Darren looking all of 15 with his new haircut. But far and away the most awesome was the news that THE NEW ALBUM IS COMING IN MARCH!
And then they played three new songs: "Honey," "Medicine Man," and "The Boys Are Too Refined." I, of course, videoed them all, and you can check 'em out right here, along with my recording of "Don't Wake Me Up." Enjoy! What do you guys think of 'em?

12:32 am - sometimes circles run around you
Attn: Chicago-area people. If I were you, I'd think about going to Spitalfield's final show at the Metro this Sunday. I've been hearing some real interesting things about the "special guest." coughcoughahemahem.
I say this because I myself have no shot in hell at going, and only want for you guys better than I have myself. :) (Also, take pictures, for the love of God.)
