I haven't updated is in ages. I suck at keeping things up when I'm not complete and utterly obsessed by their theme. And since this doesn't have a particular theme, and I myself am not a very interesting topic of conversation, hence the lack of interest in it.
I've been doing more stuff these past month than I have in my whole life, I think. Not like.. Obligation, study, cultural stuff, really. Just going out and actually doing things. I've gone at least 5 times to walk around the city centre with Martina, ending up walking LOTS of blocks (think about 30 or 40) with take-away capuccino on our hands, spazzing over everything. Cause everything seems to be going down to one topic in this past time, and that's Franz Ferdinand. I'm starting to get a tiny bit concerned I might have a bit of a problem here, but oh well, c'est la vie, nothing I can do about it.
It seems as though it's chasing us though. Everywhere we go there's something we can relate to them. And it's not just obvious things like being in History class and the subject of WWI being brought up, it's odd things only crazed obsessed sad fans like us would relate. Like, an essay Martina will have to write for her English class that's a review, the teacher started saying phrases they could use, and she mentioned "deeply moving". As soon as she told me that, on the break, in the middle of the school, I started laughing like a maniac and actually fell to the floor laughing [see the FF DVD for that to make sense, or just ask.]. Or me not being able to say, this one time we were randomly speaking in English for fun at a shopping centre, "I won't let it fade." because she'd burst into laughter remembering Fade Together, because we'd been doing that on purpose, but I wasn't anymore! *eyeroll*
Of course, having started a forum site for their fans here in Argentina, forming a sort of Fan Club in the process, getting people to send us the The Fallen/L. Wells single from the UK, going to New York and planning to get our hands on as much merch as we can afford, writing a script for a ridiculous musical movie involving them and their songs writing them a letter and bugging everyone on MySpace that's going to one of their gigs to give it to them (This one girl didn't get to meet them, and now we're having another one try and give it to them on May 2nd), planning a thousand different Franz-related Tshirts we want to get done, finding out their Southamerican Tour DVD [in which there's high chances I will appear at least for a second] is coming out sometime round the end of the year, and that they could be coming back by the end of the year aswell.... Does NOT help.
Of course, I'm not obsessed though.
