Hey, you know what is totally freaking awesome? Random fandom encounters! And they're so much more common for me now than they were in Due South, oh wow! (DS ILU.) I posted before about those girls who stopped me on the street for my TAI shirt, right? Well, yesterday I was at the poster sale on campus, and I was flipping through music posters, and a guy came and stood next to me. I braced myself for, "Fuck you, I do like Fall Out Boy," but then I actually got to the FOB poster (which was labeled "Fall Out Boys") and started to pull it out, and the guy BEAMED.

Guy: "Oh! Are you getting that?"
Me: "...Yes?"
Him: "Did you get tickets for the show?"
Me: "No, but I hear they're playing secret shows on this tour, so I'm going to try to make it to one of those!"
Him: "Oh shit, I didn't hear about any secret shows!"
Me: "Yeah, you gotta keep your ear to the ground! And they're only going to be playing songs from the first record!"
Him: "Take This to Your Grave? That's my favorite album!!!"
Me: :D :D :D :D :D

Yeah, sooooo now I have a Fall Out Boy poster hanging across from my bed, and a new buddy. \o/

And oh, my darlings, today I had kind of a shitty day, honestly. It wasn't great! And then I came home and fell asleep in the middle of the afternoon, and woke up and it was dark and neither of my roommates were home. So I put on Take This to Your Grave, and listened to it straight through. And then I put on From Under the Cork Tree, and listened to that straight through. And now I'm most of the way through Infinity on High, and I'm grinning like a gigantic dork, and just, fuck. This band makes me so happy. SO HAPPY.

One of the reasons I basically denied to everyone, including myself, that I was done with Due South fandom from about December 2006 (when I read my last DS story) through MJ 2007 (when I entered bandom), was that I honestly thought I'd never find another fandom that made me as happy as DS made me. But oh my God, I was wrong, and that makes me – I feel SO LUCKY, you guys. Wow. I had the best fandom in the entire world, and I still hope it thrives and flourishes forever, because it was so good to me - but this fandom gives me things I didn't know to ask for, and it's what I need, and it's what I love. ♥ ♥ ♥

I have Pete's lyrics swirling around in my head right now, and Patrick's lovely clear voice, and a bowl of ice cream. I think this calls for a small picspam!



Oh my god, look at his pin. ILU PETE WENTZ.



Smiiiiiile!



Oh my GODDD. You know that this was from Carling Weekend, right? And that they were being bottled? This picture = every horrifyingly satisfying badfic ever. EVER.



hahahaha, DORK.



No, seriously, I love him a lot a lot.



Whoops, that's not FOB! But guess how insanely I love this picture? Yeah, pretty much.



Joe TROHHH. Can we be bffs? Okay, awesome!



I think it is physically painful how adorable this boy is.



Like, it kind of makes my throat hurt.



Pete Wentz Arms! \o/



Yes, please. :O



Heaaaarts!



WHERE IS MY SOCCER PLAYER AU. WHERE.



So sometimes, Pete leans his forehead on Patrick while he sings about "the best way to make it through with hearts and wrists intact." Oh, whoops, by sometimes, I mean every time. OTP OTP OTP OTP OTP.



In conclusion, I LOVE THEM. I love them. Their poster is hanging on my bedroom wall, and I don't mean that metaphorically. *draws sparkly hearts on her trapper keeper*

TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE! Tell me about love! Tell me about FALL OUT BOYS.
