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.

Seriously, Patrick STUMP. ♥ No, no, I don't have a thing for self-effacing talented and fiercely loyal people (who is this Bob Bryar you're speaking of?). Also I like the way he writes music, man, I really do.

I think it's looking like I'm starting with that one and Infinity on High--I want to sort of do a little at a time.

And oh, the way you describe that is so lovely, I can almost see it. Music just--sometimes it really does make a moment that much more tangible and memorable. Vienna Teng does that--I was sitting on the subway the first time I understood that City Hall was about gay marriage and started crying at the line "My baby's looking so damn pretty with those anxious eyes, rain-speckled hair, my ring to wear". It's possible I'm kind of an emotional person.

THAT IS WHY PATICK/BOB IS SO EXCELLENT!

i am going to find that vienna teng song; it sounds extremely relevent to my interests. and crying in public about songs is a.) apparently another thing we have in common, and b.) always an excellent life decision.

Feeling things very deeply, maybe? And yes, absolutely. Excellent life decision, whether it's about a song or something else (the day Sweden passed gay marriage, were we lj friends yet then? Because I wrote a post about positively bawling in public even while smiling so hard through the tears).
