SHUT UP cuz we WON'T STOP

So, birthday presents! I got new headphones from my sister (they're PINK) and a couple sweaters plus The Settlers of Catan from my parents. YOU GUYS WHO WANTS TO COME OVER AND PARTY WITH MY BOARD GAMES? :D :D :D Risk, Monopoly, Scrabble, Clue -- good times all!

I also spent a fair amount of time this morning looking at pictures of Cobra Starship. Seriously, the more I see of them, the more I would kill for Cobra Starship Weekly Mystery Hour (And Dance Party!!!) Seriously, you guys, how are they so fucking adorable? And how are they the only band where I would do any of them?

( COBRAS SO PRECIOUS )

Okay. Time to drink Coke and maybe write a little. *high hopes!*

EDITED TO ADD: Today's thought of the day is this: Frank/Jamia/Bob. Let's all just quietly reflect on that for a while, okay? OKAY.

Jules and I have a challenge. A challenge of AWESOME

So cidercupcakes and I have decided what the world needs is lots and lots of 1950s AUs. With diners! And high schools! And basically all the awesome parts of Grease and none of the boring parts.

Seriously, there are like eight million different stories you could tell in this universe and we want to read everyone. A FEW EXAMPLES FOR YOU:

+ Bruce Springsteen is a short order cook in the diner! Patti Scialfa is the bad girl! She steals his stupid little paper hat and he thinks it's charming even if no one else in Repressie 50s Suburbia does! They make out in her car!

+ Pete the jock and Mikey the weird kid! Pete gives Mikey his pin in the front seat of his car when they're at the drive-in! Mikey wears Pete's stupid ugly varsity sweater around over his freaky clothes all the time!

+ Gerard is the kid who goes up to Lookout Point with a boy and the boy won't take no for an answer and Gerard slaps his face and demands to be taken home! But the next day at school Gerard's reputation is ~*ruined*~! Gerard has to walk the halls and just pretend he doesn't hear all the whispering they're doing about him! Frankie gets into fights with boys in the locker room over his HONOR!

+ Greta and, like, Ray Toro or somebody have the Innocent Adorable Courtship of "Can I Carry Your Books Home For You?" Which culminates in the very exciting peck on the cheek outside her doorstep! Later they go to the diner and order one milkshake with two straws!

+ Patrick is the Really Very Nice Boy (Everyone Thinks He's Such a Good Kid)! But between being friends with Pete and the flirting from Vicky-T he is being tempted to a whole nother WORLD!

+ Vicky-T is a bad girl! She and Patti have a gang! They have leather jackets and tease their hair and smoke cigarettes together outside the school! In the morning before homeroom they tape up their hems a whole inch so their skirts are shorter than everyone else!

+ Also it's possible that everybody fights vampires. VAMPIRES MAKE EVERYTHING AWESOME, TRUFAX.

+ [FILL IN YOUR BRILLIANT IDEA HERE....?]

she went to the fair with the dude on my icon. he almost threw up on one of the rides.

Hi, you guys! I just wrote the first 500 words of a totally self-indulgent story about my Completely Random and Totally Unlikely Het Crossover RPF OTP. It's awesome. It occurs to me that not all of you immigrated into bandom from due South and other such climes, so it's worthwhile for me to do a picspam at this juncture, so you will have some clue where we're coming from.
