I had a lovely time at celli's apartment Saturday night! On our way there, etben and I waited for the damn bus for forty minutes, even though it's supposed to come every six. Awesome, CTA. Another win for y'all. But we entertained ourselves by chatting about bandslash and porn and other fascinating topics. Oh man, and I legitimately freaked out when she told me she thought she saw Andy Hurley IN REAL LIFE the other day up in Belmont, wearing a Stay Gold hoodie – I did this weird full-body wriggle thing and clapped my hands over my mouth. I have to admit, that was my first little RPS panic attack! Living in Chicago and being involved in bandslash is kind of crazy, because so many band boys are from here – all of Fall Out Boy, JWalk from Panic! at the Disco, Bob from My Chemical Romance, all (probably?) of The Academy Is. God, if I ever see Pete Wentz in real life crossing a street or macking on a fifteen-year-old or something, I honestly don't know what I'll do. FLIP OUT, probably. And Jon freaking Walker would probably give me a heart attack, at this point. Let's not even talk about a certain Mr. Stump. Oh, wow. It's a good thing for my mental health that none of those boys are likely to ever come down to my neighborhood – I can't really see Pete deciding he desperately needs to visit the Museum of Science and Industry, can you? It seems unlikely. Also, dudes, the South Side is not somewhere I would feel particularly safe if I were a tiny boy in girls' pants and eyeliner. Just sayin'.

I've met so many fangirls in real life now, especially compared with this time last year, when I hadn't met any at all (also, I was underage, ahahaha), and it just – never freaking STOPS being wonderful to finally meet people I feel like I've known forever, like fairestcat and researchgrrrl, as well as people I've never encountered at all who are clearly awesome (I have NO IDEA what your usernames are, sorry!), and of course, to spend time again with the people I've already met (slodwick and celli and lovelokest, and the usual suspects). It made MJ seem like less of a fever dream, and more like something that actually happened. I wish we'd made nametags, though, because I still have no idea who half the people there were. Highlights of the night included:

• researchgrrrl and slodwick forming a kind of support group to get me to watch an episode of Supernatural, despite my extreme aversion to horror and scary movies. I made it all the way through without having to flee to the other room! I can definitely see why y'all like that show, even though I couldn't possibly watch it by myself EVER. And I'm kind of incredibly charmed by Dean and Sam (not in a Wincesty way, of course). I am EASY: this, we knew.


• slodwick, completely deadpan, reading out the awful clues from the game we were playing. Man, there badly need to be icons of those clues. "I need licking before the pricking," indeed. I have to say, the dream team of shrift and me rocked that game, especially considering she was doped to the gills with DayQuil! Not that it was a very hard game – it was clearly designed for people who were either a lot stupider or a lot more drunk than we were.


• lovelokest bestowing upon me lots and lots of Entourage, because she is an ANGEL.

I seem to be continuing this theme of dreams about people/characters I've never met? I had about SIX Friday night, and I ended up getting a notebook to put by my bed so I wouldn't forget them all, although I know I missed a few. Here's the transcription of my notes for posterity, absolutely verbatim:

• Patrick -> met him at [my high school, in the] lower school hallway. I had his hat. He stopped me and was like, hey, the brim of your hat is messed up, and he fixed it for me awkwardly and then he kind of started to walk away and then was like, actually it's my hat, and I was really embarrassed and apologetic about how I just found it somewhere (but actually I stole it) and he was like hey, no, it looks better on you, but I gave it back anyway. And then I think we were in love


• Gerard Way pov (I wasn't him though) – fans pissed at him for [Frank] being sick, I think Mikey updated my livejournal (?) or theirs or something, it was all about tour dates and Pete Wentz, fans saying he (gerard) was getting to be like Pete Wentz, and he even looked like him, and he wrote messages to Pete on fans' arms in pen to give him advice. Someone got their nipple pierced


• Some guy and Draco [Malfoy] are brothers who ran off to be fairies (separately) but the other guy is evil and raped this girl I think but didn't get punished enough + I was friends with Rosie O'Donnell and we went shopping at Express and I was in this abusive relationship with rape guy


• Allison sent me an email talking about Gerard and working on this radio show?

I DON'T KNOW, YOU GUYS. Clearly, it was important to clarify that Draco and his rapist brother ran away to be fairies SEPARATELY.
