I want to talk about bandslash a little right now. More importantly, how I FEEL about bandslash. Because it's making me so happy, you guys, but there's something that isn't, and I want to discuss all of it.

Yes, this is really long. No, you don't have to read it. But I have to say it.

I love the new Fall Out Boy video so very much. I think it's important and I think it's beautiful. I love these boys with EVERYTHING I have. I love that they're trying to do something good with their music, not just for their fans, but for the world. I LOVE THEIR MUSIC IN GENERAL. I truly think it's amazing. I love that you can actually hear the growth from EOWYG to IOH, both with the music and with Patrick's vocals. I love Pete's lyrics, and that you can find them sprinkled in his blog entries throughout the years. The lyrics come from his life. And yes, I find them poetic, and yes, they mean just about everything to me. Weeks that I don't listen to From Under the Cork Tree, I feel a little emptier inside. Infinity on High is, to me, the best record they've produced, but From Under the Cork Tree is what saved my life. I don't mean it saved me from death, I mean it saved me from not living. From being numb, and from not trying, and from not caring. It changed me and saved me and it'll never stop being my favorite.

I love the feeling, when you go to a Fall Out Boy show, the energy that's just tingling all around, ready to explode. And it does. When these four tiny boys get on stage, they're not so tiny anymore. Joe and Andy have PRESENCE, they're rocking out and giving it their all, and I have never seen Patrick look so confident, or Pete look so happy, as they look when they're on stage.

I love them all, so very very much, and THEY love each other so very very much. So what I don't get is, how there are Fall Out Boy fans that hate Pete.

( They don't even know what it is to be a fan. Y'know? To truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts.  )

I didn't know where I was going when I started this entry, but now that it's done, I can see what it became. It's a love note. To Pete. ♥

Hellloooooo there, fellow bandslash lovers. I do believe it is time for Part Two of the Pimp!Spam of INSANITY. (Truly sorry for the delay, but dudes. This one was a MONSTER.)

For anyone who missed it, Part 1 is here. Once again, this is all for orangesky33 and sensations.

Without further ado....I present:

( The Academy Is... )

In all seriousness, I hope you guys enjoyed this. It took for freaking ever and might ACTUALLY be longer than my FOB spam.

(What this means for the next few parts, I shudder to think).

( At any rate, have some music )

Tune in tomorrow for Pete's ultimate discovery in the form of four tiny emo boys from Las Vegas. (And the ARRIVAL OF JON WALKER!)



(Bonus: I uploaded the DVD of My Heart Will Always Be The B-Side To My Tongue for citibyrd and I thought I'd share it with the rest of y'all.)

If the links expire, don't hesitate to ask for a reupload! I'm more than happy to do it :D

I donated blood for the first time today, guys! It was literally the most frightening experience of my life! But actually didn't hurt nearly as much as I'd expected, and we got free juice and a full hour out of class. Next time though, I'd like to have Vampire!Pete suck my blood out, mmkay?

Barring that, Vamp!Beckett or Vamp!Brendon would be a-okay too.

Uh, my mind totally didn't just go to the vampire orgy place. I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think I had something else to mention? But people keep posting goddamn awesome picspams today, which is completely blowing my ability to think. THANKS GUYS. I am now drained of both physical and mental power. I might as well be a vegetable.

Um, don't ever change, flist. For serious.

Oh, this icon has nothing to do with this post, it's just there so the jury can't convict me when I kidnap JWalk. I mean, honestly. What does he EXPECT, looking so amazing and cuddly?
