this is a love song in my own way

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.)

Seriously, though, we do have an extra ticket, and I think I even have an extra VIP ticket for the CT HCT date. Just drop me a line. J's been remarkably sanguine about the whole thing, given how much money I've been dropping on concert tickets. I guess since Gerard's comic book pays some of our rent, it all comes around...

I've actually never seen the Dolls live . . . I've tried twice, and both times I wound up getting too sick to go. It was a little bit tragic. (B and I have talked about the yoga conference, actually, but she's not sure she can afford it after Panic and MCR, and anyway . . . yoga conference?)

I should read her journals. I've never been a terribly active music fan, pretty much sticking to just listening and occasionally attending concerts (with the possible exceptions of David Bowie and . . . Enter the Haggis, because I'm odd). I assume you've seen the "Dresden Dolls Vs. Panic!" Backstabber video? One of my favorite things ever. ^^

And, yes, please encourage your friend to write Greta/Amanda [. . .] There isn't enough femslash in bandom!
The one way in which bandom is pretty much like every other fandom of mine, ever. *g* I have a plan for encouraging her, although I'm trying not to push too hard; she has a ridiculous number of WiPs just now. ;)

I . . . okay. I would love to have the extra (Boston) ticket, sweetie, and thank you so very much for offering. I'm going to be miserable if I don't go, and if I can't sit with anyone, there can always be post-concert squeeing. You are my hero. <3
