a short update from the library

[cardalia]

Still no word on the computer. I keep speedreading my flist and answering mail during the day and saving links to everything I'll want to download later. Woe. If I don't get it for the weekend I may cry. (Or not, but at least I'll complain a lot.)

A guy on the bus this morning looked exactly like Frank Iero (massive, glorious picspam of joy by shrift).

hee! I was actually expecting someone to say that they really don't like them, thank you very much. *g* I do admit that sometimes I just want them to take a bath or stop blabbing about their private life in public. But it's also part of the charm, I guess. (Not the poor hygiene, but the openness.)

I like them for the music (I like the pop/rock/punk combination), the cuteness, the way they're ridiculously touchy-feely with each other and the fact that there's a lot of good fic around. Also, most of them have some kind of connection to each other that makes for excellent crossover potential. The associated drama however is both strangely fascinating and tiring. I have to admit my ignorance when it comes to 70s punk bands but I guess these boys might seem like a watered-down version compared to them. *g*

It's rather scary to have become one of the older generation who doesn't understand what the kids today see in their musical idols

I don't think you need to worry about that. I mean, I'm supposed to be one of the kids today and I'm still baffled about a lot of them. It's just these particular boys that strike my fancy. ;)
