I came here to make you dance tonight!

1) The Cobra Starship video is the best thing in the history of the world. It just

is. I don't even care if you're not into bandom, this is sheer brilliance.

2) Yesterday I read my first piece of real MCR badfic! It was traumatizing, yep. It should surprise no one that, yes, mikeyway died in it.

3) I really crave Thai food right now. Not on, world. Not on.

4) Things that are made of win right now include quettaser's recap of the Hoboken show here. I think the part about Bob, Gerard and the cigarette might have fried out my brain. (I mean, the parts that weren't already fried out with pure love for these guys.) Also, pretty much everything in mcee's journal. Look at the Way boys! And check out the comments to this entry, which include Alicia+Mikey as evil geniuses, Alicia as super-dom, and missmollyetc's utterly delightful imaginings on Gerard+Lyn-Z wayspawn.

5) I love the part of a new fandom where you are learning new completely random pieces of canon every single day. Yesterday I read about Ian McKellen eyeing Mikeyway "like a piece of chicken." HEART.

6) When I started to get into MCR, my sister did this whole "okay, I went along with your crazy Fall Out Boy stuff, but I draw a line, don't play them around me, blah blah blah." And then yesterday we saw the Teenagers video and the Vampires Will Never Harm You video on TV, and afterwards she turned to me and went "...Okay."

So then we went to my computer and I showed her my collection of dorky dorky pictures, and then choice bits of LotMS, and the makings of both Ghost of You and I'm Not Okay. It was awesome. I guess her antipathy had been based on the fact that she only knew them from "Helena", basically, and she hated that video? But dorky boys being dorky wins her over in the end everytime, so. I win. No one can resist Gerard getting a hamster cage! NO ONE.

(The highlight was Mikeyway telling us "Gerard has always been my older brother." She laughed so hard we had to pause the file and rewind. I was afraid she might choke!)

7) This is Pete the linguistics TA, in case you were wondering.

8) I had a number 8, but it's gone now.

Erica, I think I just fell in love with Cobra Starship. Help?

Also, I love that you have like two pages of pictures in your photobucket devoted to linguists.

It would be awesomer if they actually were linguists instead of just the pictures me and etben decided looked student-y, though!

Isn't it WONDERFUL?

They are linguists! I mean, FOB totally brought the term "Chicago Thighs" into my vernacular.
