Sometimes, streaming video is a beautiful thing. Here is a random sampling of the glee it has brought me lately:

Mark! at the Disco

OMG, this FILLS me with JOY, y'all. Ryan, former Blink cover band member that he is, is trying SO HARD to play it cool. I am so sure this is how it went: Mark, backstage: "These are the chords, do you think you can figure it out?" Ryro: "Uhm, yeah, I – I think it should be fine." And, like, I am teeeerrible at working out who is playing what guitar part in songs, but I'm pretty sure that when Mark POINTS TO RYRO, he is handing off the lead guitar part. <333333 Mark Hoppus, you are OKAY BY ME. Meanwhile Brendon, that precious bitch, grins the whole time and brings out A FUCKING LIGHTER during Ryan and Mark's guitar duet, which he clearly bought/acquired EXPRESSLY for that purpose, because a) Brendon Urie does not smoke and b) he throws it into the audience when he's done. Ohhhh my God. Ohhhhh RYANROSS.

Beat It, with a short pause

OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD. PATRICK MOTHERFUCKING STUMP, YOU ROCK STAR. He cuts off because there's a fight in the audience, and then he paces around the stage pissily because wtf, that was Michael Jackson, you cretins (RAGE!PATRICK IS MY FAVORITE KIND OF PATRICK OKAY) and then he starts it back up again FULL BLAST like a FUCKING ROCK STAR. I AM SORRY. HE MAKES ME EVEN MORE CAPSLOCKY THAN USUAL. It might be disturbing to some people that a Patrick Stump who is prepared to choke a bitch is so sexy to me, but he is. HE IS.

Exposed tour video

There is waaaay too much that is amazing in this video for me to pin it all down, so suffice it to say: Gabe, with a purse! Gabe, making Pete look like a midget! Gabe, telling the story of him being left behind, and talking about how he likes to get the party started, and owning my life forever, pretty much. TAKE ME TO YOUR BASEMENT. Also, the Butcher's ass tattoo! And Pete being a doofus! And BILL, fucking WILLIAM BECKETT, being actually likeable to me for the first time in ever. I mean, I am sorry, I know the Beckett fangirls are out there (and are coming to get me in my sleep wait what), and I respect that, but he just... he has never done it for me. Mostly because he is not physically my type, although I can appreciate it aesthetically, but also because... I feel like he's kind of mean? Like, he's kind of a bitch. And not in the Spencersmith way, where he's actually a big softie underneath – no, I feel like Bill could really bring the not-cool behavior from time to time. (See: his band dynamic, which sketches me the fuck out.) So while I can dig him in fic, I've never been that into the real life dude. BUT MY POINT IN SAYING ALL THIS IS that I do not feel that way in this video! Because in this video, he is a bitch, but he is a funny bitch, and then he apologizes and it's honestly kind of sweet because it's not for the cameras and it's not really necessary but he does it ANYWAY, and oh, Bill Beckett, I may have misjudged you! Maybe you are only a bitch to people you don't like and TomRad? Maybe you are just growing up.

And some other stuff:

1. Hey, remember that really gay Q&A from a few days ago? The one that everyone was talking about, with the "does Patrick take his hat off during sex? Depends where we're having sex" gaymo nonsense? I just wanted to point out that from a serious slasher's standpoint, the second Q&A posted that same day is even gayer. Yeah, I know! But look:

Baby...what was with the VH1 performance? You guys sounded great, as always, but you looked so dead inside. Rough day? And what was with all the looks at Patrick? You guys sounded awesome, but you, you looked...unhappy. And it worries me. And come on, you can't be mad at the Rickster can you?
<3 Wishing you well always.

patrick is my bestfriend, definitely not something to worry about. but thanks for the compliment. i feel like the acoustic versions of some of the songs brings a great quality to patricks voice that you dont always notice below the distortion.

YEAH, OKAY. Patrick's voice is a gift from God! We know, Pete! BECAUSE YOU REMIND US EVERY DAY. Also, way to answer the question for once – you were looking at Patrick so seriously because you honestly think he is amazing, and even after all this time, you're still impressed by him. ♥ Also, it charms me that he consistently types bestfriend without the space in the middle. No, I don't know why. Yes, this fandom does make me an idiot.

2. I am not talking about his blogspot because I cannot waste any more of my life worrying about Pete Wentz's emo. ILU PETE, but please stop posting things that make the fangirls worry, because I simply do not have the energy! You seem pretty happy, right? You say you're pretty happy! So why can't you just, idk, BE HAPPY. (Oh right, because it's your job, I guess. STILL.)

3. And re: the recent Patrick/VickyT explosion of fabulousness, I don't think I can say much more than I said in the last icecreamhdaches post. Patrick Martin Stump should be getting spectacularly laid ALL THE TIME, with smart hot funny chicks and/or dudes who appreciate him for who he is and treat him like gold. And VickyT? Most definitely fits that bill. She is gooooorgeous, you guys, and dorky, and so nice, and she plays the KEYTAR, which my spellcheck does not even recognize as a real word! Every time I see her interacting with her band they seem to adore her, and every time I see her interacting with Patrick she seems to think he is TOTALLY AMAZING. Also, legs. There is just no bad here.

Uhhhhm what else can I spam you with irrelevantly. I am trying to CONDENSE my spam into one convenient easily-skipped post! Aren't you pleased? I feel like I should be telling you guys about my job, but there's not much to tell. I like it! It is boring! Librarians are totally my kind of people, though, just ftr.

I am not responding to comments on my last post until we have tickets, because I am a superstitious loser. BUT THAT SHOULD HAPPEN SOMETIME TODAY OMGGGGG.

ETA: OMG NEVER USE RICH TEXT EVER. JUST. DON'T. DO IT.

ETA2: Also, I keep forgetting that this fandom doesn't have a centralized noticeboard! So in case you didn't catch it, sign-ups opened for band_princesses.
