darling email, don't leave me!

First things first, is anyone else having trouble with Gmail? I am, in Firefox but not in Safari. But Google is working just fine. *hands* I don't understand, and my internet is also currently running at a snail's pace, so I can't use my usual tools for figuring out what's wrong. DAMMIT. ETA: OH THANK GOD, it's working again.

But much more importantly, I'm slowly but surely becoming really interested in, you know, Patrick Stump. And Joe Trohman. Even Pete Wentz. Admittedly, I don't really like Andy Hurley, but I'm starting to love the band he's in.

Really, all of you, feel free to snicker at me. I'm the slowest of the slow, I'm well aware of this fact. I'm just sort of startled by this development--I've been reading fic about them for longer than I've been interested in MCR (in case I haven't shared this yet, my bandom origins story goes: Pete/Patrick porn; Weekenders; a lot more fic; hearing the Black Parade and going huh, I like the way the song changes throughout; hearing Teenagers; and then seeing that clip where Gerard tells the girls in his audience to spit in the faces of dudes who tell them to take their shirts off. And that was IT. Of course, it took me another, uh, nine months to get a livejournal. SLOWEST OF THE SLOW.

Anyway, FOB. For the sake of my new-found fascination with them and for the sake of the sequel to my big bang (which is partly in Patrick pov, it seems), I would deeply appreciate a link to your favorite/canon-defining/OTP-defining/etc/whatever interview/blogpost/photo shoot/etc. Basically if you link me to something, I'll be really, really grateful. OH, I almost forgot--tell me your favorite FOB album.

I properly, properly love From Under the Cork Tree, I think it's got an amazing energy to it. I don't have a lot of FOB media saved but the 16 Candles vid is definitely one of my favourite parts of canon. I like this blog entry of Patrick's and Pete's Q&A answers are always worth reading. This out.com interview with Pete is fantastic too.

Amazing energy is a serious plus, and I kind of can't believe I haven't seen the 16 candles vid--it's so strange to come at a band from this angle, where you know a lot of background meta but can't quite be sure whether it's fic or canon. And oh, thanks for those links--FOB just has SO MUCH canon that it's kind of ridiculously difficult to know where to start.
