gush time.
ok, so patrick stump is superamazingawesome and did this wonderful interview for AP.net. It's very tl;dr so here's the parts that made me squee:
AP.net: What's one thing you think people most misunderstand or misinterpret about you and/or the band?
Patrick: I think they really don't understand Pete. I've heard a lot of really awful, negative things said about Pete, and it's like, “Dude, you don't even have a clue how honest and real that guy is” for the amount of crap that people talk about him. That's one thing that bothers me a lot [...] He's my best friend and he's absolutely important. He's invaluable. I wouldn't be here without him. Pete's the only guy who got me to sing. I wasn't a singer until Pete saw it in me. So I don't particularly see value in me being a singer but he does and he's always my cheerleader, trying to keep me going. So I am the musician I am pretty much because of Pete.
(on singing)
It's weird, Pete and I have talked about it before. Pete, when he was a kid, he was a soccer prodigy, he was pretty much built for soccer, I think he had some crazy scholarship for it too. He doesn't talk about it much, he was totally built for it, and he chose to be a musician. It’s hard to say, because Pete just tries to make me feel good about myself, but he always tells me how good I am as a singer, and I personally don't think I'm that good or whatever. He was like, "Yeah, I was built for soccer and I didn't do that, and it's crazy to think you weren't a singer and you're probably built for it but you didn't even know. If you didn't do this band, you'd never be a singer, and that'd be a tragedy,” because he thinks I'm great; his support has meant the world.
this is pretty much the greatest thing ever. Its weird, but I just love the way he talks and explains things, he's so genuine. And I love how he loves pete.
And also, how awesome is that pete and patrick podcast? Oh, the quickest way to my heart is a podcast, and this one had new music, best friends, spaghetti dinners, and pete trying to improvise on his feet, it's hilarious.
and because I love the cute dress I wore today, here's meeee:
been feeling better, head and heart wise.
