I'm going through a phase with this format.

FIRST. I got a job! Seasonal support at Macy's. Only like ten hours a week through the first week of January, but some money is better than no money.

SECOND. Frankie Iero's birthday = friends list filled with glorious picspam!

THIRD. I always used to make faces at all the people who would complain about having too much fic to read and be like "yeah, I wish I had your problems!" And now I do. It's kind of awesome. So much stuff!

FOURTH. Still thinking about OTPs in bandom. My OTPs in former fandoms (Clark/Lex, Fraser/Kowalski, John/Aeryn) all kind of fit together in the way where they are MEANT TO BE OMG, they BELONG TOGETHER, these two people are SO OBVIOUSLY the most important people in each other's lives, the most important relationship they will EVER have. And you guys, if I look in bandom? The obvious candidates to take on that role for me is so Pete/Patrick. It just is. They fit my classic OTP profile perfectly.

And yet! I mean, I love them, I do, and I enjoy reading about them and all, and they belong together. So they're my OTP in that sense, but ... not so much in the sense of the pairing that eats my brain and fascinates me and I want to know MORE and read about it all the time and graaaaar. Because that does seem to be Pete/Mikey, even if I can't figure out why. PETE WENTZ! MIKEYWAY! SWEET LITTLE DUDES! Nawwwwww.

FIFTH. The thing I forgot about RPF fandoms is just how much there is out there. I don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable writing non-AU bandom fic, no matter what, just because even the more I learn, the more stuff there is that I can't get a hold of. Infinite canon = awesome for experiencing, stressful for writing.

SIXTH. That five things lists meme. Hit me. I'll see what I can do.

SEVENTH. It's Halloween. YAY CANDY.

I love you, shovel.

cidercupcakes wanted me to tell her more about my bandom OTPs -- not because she is interested in bandom, but just because Jules and I love to share our squee because it is pretty much the funnest thing ever. Since she was just squeeing to me about Bruce Springsteen/Patti Scialfa, I decided to start off with my Canon Het OMG This Is Really Happening (Also They Are From New Jersey) OTP of Love. Aka: Gerard Way and Lyn-Z.

None of this is new to anybody in bandom, but you know. It's always nice to look at the pictures again.

( I swear to fucking God, they make me melt )
