Okay, I'm going to weigh in on this whole Fall Out Boy video controversy. While I respect that people don't like the video, I happen to love it, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for Fall Out Boy for bringing the situation in Uganda to people's attention ( Read more... )

Hi, I'm stalking you. :D

I feel bad that we're invading Tas's journal, so I thought I'd come check yours out. *flails around* You're a total FOB fan!! That wins so much. :) I am too! I've always liked them (for a couple of years now) but I just got into them pretty hardcore since the last album. And I'm with you. I totally LOVE the new video. It made me cry. :( And did you watch them on Fuse? It made Patrick cry too! It broke my heart. :(

So hey, can I add you? My f-list doesn't have nearly enough FOB fans on it! :)

Hi! Of course you can add me, I love meeting fellow FOB fans :D

I did see the Fuse interview, it was just so sad and I wanted to give Patrick a hug. ♥

I've been a FOB fan since April of this year, but they've gotten me through a really hellish year.

Aw, I'm really glad they could do that for you! I was a casual fan for the longest time, but I guess if I really think about it, right about when IOH came out is when I really got into them even more so. Well, there was a period last year, when I went all FOB crazy, but then I got into My Chemical Romance (see: my other obsession) and that sort of took off for a while. Present day, I'd say my obsessions are equal. I couldn't even pick which one I liked more. They both are so important to me, and fill very different voids in my life ( ... )

FOB have pretty much taken over my life. I was supposed to be going to see them in November, but sadly I can't afford to due to recently having lost my job :(

I do like TAI, and Gym Class Heroes, and Cobra Starship, and I've been a Green Day fan since '94 which just makes me feel really old haha :) I'm also a *huge* Kanye West fan. I love him almost as much as I love FOB. Let's see, what else. I like old school No Doubt (they were my 90s obsession), and old school Smashing Pumpkins, and I also really like Lily Allen. :)

I do agree that Patrick makes everything better :)

Hold up. :p You might be my long lost twin!! And how old are you, if you don't mind me asking? I've been a Green Day fan since like '91 or something. I was like 13 I think. (I just turned 29 in June)

During high school, I was all about Green Day, No Doubt, Bush, definitely Smashing Pumpkins and The Cure, and I'm still into all those bands and then some. I'm also into the entire Fueled by Ramen bunch too. (FOB, Cobra, Tai, GCH...etc.) and I like Panic! at the Disco too.

Admittedly, I know nothing about Kanye West, but from what I've heard, he's cool. :) It's not my typical type of music, but I like all types. Music makes the world go 'round. :)

Oh yay, an older FOB fan! :D I'm 32. :)

I listen to all kinds of music - everything from country to classical. I don't discriminate by genre, so you could say my taste is very "eclectic". :)

Awesome!!! :D I like meeting older fans!! Not that I have a problem with the younger kids, but it's nice to be on the same level as someone once in a while. :)

And yes, I think I have pretty eclectic taste too.

On a random note, are you at all into Fanfic? Heh. I might as well ask, since you'll hear about that from time to time in my lj. XD

Yeah I don't mind the younger fans most of the time, but I get a lot of shit from people for liking FOB at my age, so it's always nice to know that there are people around my age who also like them :)

And yes, I love fanfic. Patrick/Pete is my OTP. ♥

mikeyface September 30 2007, 06:31:08 UTC
Oh, see, you ARE my twin. On both counts.

I am ALL about the Pete/Patrick!! I've written a few of them too, if you want to check them out. They're over in my writing journal. :) And there are lots more in the works!

Dude! Twins!! :D Yay!! And omg icon twins too!

I'm definitely going to be reading those after I get a couple of hours sleep, thanks so much! :) I can't wait to read them! :)

And on that note, I'm off to bed...hopefully ;)

Sweet! I like being twins! (And yes, ICON TWINS!) And thank you. I'd love your opinion on my fics!

I'm off to bed shortly too. :) It was great to meet a fabulous new friend! Ps, what's your name? Shame on me. I failed to get that. I'm Angie. :)

Nighty night! Sweet Patrick-y dreams!

My name's Nerysa :)

Yay for new friends! ♥

Forgive my journal of late, I've had a rather bad few weeks so the emo's on max but it's not usually this bad. :P

Goodnight, sweet Patrick dreams to you too!

mikeyface September 30 2007, 06:48:33 UTC
Ooh. :) Nerysa. I like that! My name is soooo boring! But yes, YAY for new friends! ♥ I'll make you a deal. We'll forgive each other's emo (honey, I can get emo!) and we'll have each other to lean on then. Because one can never have too many friends! ♥
