fall out boy is singlehandedly responsible for getting me back to using lj, yo
...at least until I become plagued with anxiety about talking to people again, la la la.
SO. I've been refreshing youtube like a crazy person, and to-day this video of a radio interview popped up, and instead of totally spamming twitter with my thoughts, I'll just...quietly sneak on LJ and post some thoughts here...
-Every time I pause this video, it is on a frame of someone GRINNING LIKE CRAZY, and my heart cannot even handle it. I know that they didn't spend all these years sadly pining for Fall Out Boy or whatever, but like…seeing them all together and how happy they are feels amazing, to me as a fan, so I can't even imagine how they must be feeling right now? I don't know, I worry that I project ALL MY FEELINGS on them and romanticize the shit out of this band, but. Just look at them, man. It's amazing.
-When Pete is talking about that feeling of disbelief he gets every time ("my feeling is disbelief, it's like why is this happening, every time, pretty much") that all these people are there for them, the annoying interviewing dude is like, "so you don't feel like you deserve it?" and the way Pete just quietly shakes his head, GOD. Pete, never stop putting all your feelings right out there.
-I am still completely stunned that they managed to keep this comeback a total secret? Like, we had those rumors, but they didn't feel like anything more than silly rumors to me. This interviewer lady talks about how she booked this interview a couple weeks ago and then FOB denied the rumors and she was like "WHAT," but was forbidden to tell anyone. But like. There were probably so many random people that knew things were going on, and somehow, miraculously, word did not actually get out? I like that Pete keeps saying "we wanted this to happen how we, if we were fans of Fall Out Boy, would want it to happen" because this really was the most perfect comeback, as a fan. Just dropping the bomb of NEW SONG VIDEO TOUR SHOWS ALBUM all at once, instead of information trickling in, creating all kinds of expectations. They just DID IT and I am still on a high from that, uh, as you can all tell as I can't stop talking about it.
-BE MORE RIDICULOUS ABOUT PATRICK, PETE, I DARE YOU. "You're more like a pomeranian, pacing around, like PLEASE someone pick me up and pet me!" Ugh, LOOK AT THEM.
-The interviewer is pretty much an obnoxious jerk, and I like how at the end when he says something dumb and people awkward-laugh, Joe's face is basically :| :| :|, because Joe Trohman does not take your shit.
-Also, Pete has the WORST posture and sits all slumped over exactly like I do, and I love him for it.
