this is a love song in my own way

[reflectedeve]

I find that, in certain parts of life, it's almost always more fun to join them than beat them. (As if you could!)

Which is why I totally sat down with sweetvalleyslut on Saturday night and watched so much bandom-related material (ALL of Life on the Murder Scene, and more youtube videos than I can count) that when we overheard Panic at the Disco playing on SNL (my roomie was watching it in the living room), I thought I'd gone crazy. Which was kind of hilarious.

I have the best best friend ever, because she could totally be getting a whole lot more mileage out of this. <3

I'm not entirely rid of my fear of commitment--it's a long and metaphorical story--but whee all the same. (Fic! Good fic! Lots of it! That hasn't happened to me in ages, bar yuletide.) It's a bit frustrating that most of the music really doesn't suit my workplace, because I need some time to process all that.

Also, B and I went shopping and bought lots of pretty girly clothing. And it was warm and sunny on Saturday! It's been a rather novel weekend all around.

(And er . . . no, I haven't started my painted_spires entry yet. I need to re-watch "Missing." I've been seven kinds of truant lately, as usual, but hey. I feel re-energized! That should help.)

"Headfirst for Halos" makes me SO HAPPY. Which is possibly a little messed up, but there you are.

*looks at lyrics* *raises eyebrows* Well, I remembered to download that one, so I will have to see. ;p The only one of your Three Cheers recs that I have is "Helena" (because yes, duh), so I'll have to get ahold of the others. I have all of Black Parade except for "Mama," because of my random issues. (I'd really like to read some interviews about Black Parade, because the concept stuff will keep nagging at me.)

Well, "dreamy indie" does sometimes work for me. We'll see. :)

I'll try on a different browser, though I'm really confused: FoE vids work just fine on Firefox on my work computer. Meh.

Oh, so I totally forgot to finish talking to you about Doctor Who spoilers. Or should I not do that?

Hm, I'll try and find the BP booklet online for you. I mean, there's roughly ten million video interviews where Gerard rambles about the patient and What It All Means but that's the one where they actually go in depth on each song. I haven't read it all the way through because it's sad and creepy and I haven't really felt like going there, so I'm not sure how much more concept stuff there's going to be--I mean, I feel like just like Three Cheers this album started as a concept album and ended up being about more personal stuff. There's songs that were obviously written for that concept, and songs that probably weren't but you can still squeeze them into it, and then ones that just don't go with anything else at all.

Yeah, I've always used Firefox to watch FoE and buzznet and it's been fine. But I can't watch some things, like the Comedy Central website, and I use IE for that.

No, do tell! What's going on?

*nod* It's just that I want to know what they were trying to do, even if they deviated/didn't succeed. There's a real sense of intent to some of those tracks, and it nags at me. Probably won't want to dwell on it, because I fully expect sad and creepy, but I seem to be incapable of listening to music without thinking about what it's about (at least a little).

Well, guess who showed up at the end of the episode (they actually totally shocked me with it, too, which was impressive), just sort of silent and glum and unnoticed, and then walked off and *vanished* into thin air? Hoo boy.

I can't guess!

I can't believe there hasn't been wank about it yet. (Though maybe it just hasn't made any comms.) Not all her fans are "contentedly besieged."
