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.)

It was odd to me when I realized that the DD were somehow connected to bandom -- I'm the same way, having loved them for years, and basically otherwise being pretty ignorant of pop music. (I'm generally clueless about it, still.) Sheesh, I think I first saw the DDss at the Flywheel in Easthampton.

It's been interesting to go back and read Amanda's journals from when the DDs were touring with Panic...now I actually know who these boys are, above and beyond "the band whose fans were jerks to Brian and Amanda." She writes quite a bit about Ryan at one point, and, around the same time, also writes about meeting Gerard Way.

Yeah, we've had the same problem with the Boston tickets. Four of us have VIP tickets, but I'm not sure we're sitting anywhere near each other...

OK, now I really want to go to a Dresden Dolls concert, too, and they've only announced West coast dates so far. Maybe I'll try to go see Amanda at the Boston yoga conference.

And, yes, please encourage your friend to write Greta/Amanda; I would be a very avid and grateful reader. There isn't enough femslash in bandom!
