So apparently people dislike bandom so much that they just can't stop talking about it? I have to say, I continue to be mostly bewildered why people think this fandom is so much more the son of satan than other fandoms that got hugely popular all at once. Guess what, haters: Squee!!! That's right, I'm squeeing mindlessly!!!! How dare I! I'm squeeing because my fandom is full of awesome writers and people that I love; because my canon gives me awesome concerts to go see with my friends (Vegas \m/) every few months; because being in this fandom is like being fannish about not one, but *ten** awesome TV shows that never let me down; because Pete Wentz says things like this. Sorry my fandom brings so much joy to the yard!
If my squee drives you that much up the wall, Livejournal has this nifty 'defriend' feature. You can defriend me, or filter me out without making a fuss, or you can filter me out and also make a fuss and talk behind my back about how annoying me and all of my friends are, I suppose. I can't stop you! But if you're waiting for me to get over this annoying stage and move on to another fandom, ummm. I haven't even watched TV or read any comics at all since I got into this fandom, so aside from that one week in July where I was randomly really into Harry Potter again (and that mostly revolved around wanting to turn Patrick into a werewolf), the odds of me getting into another fandom that you don't find as annoying are pretty fucking low. I'm here to stay. (And if you think that bitchily complaining about bandom is going to make people shut up instead of making the entire fandom get even louder about our squee and post even *more* un-cut, hi, did you only discover fandom yesterday?)
Speaking of how awesome our canon is,
miss_saigon just sent me this .mp3 of Bob and Gerard hosting some radio show for like fifteen minutes. This is from Projekt Rev, so maybe all of you have already seen it and I'm just not quick on the uptake, but *I* just heard it this morning and it pretty much made me love the entire world. Bob talks so much! I want to hump his voice! He calls Gerard 'Gee Way' (which I thought was just fanon, but NO, it is a REAL NICKNAME, that BOB CALLS HIM) like three times, Gerard calls out Midtown when they talk about Jersey bands, Bob likes turtles, Gerard spends like five minutes saying 'Tar-an-TOO-la', it's basically made of kittens and win. Why isn't there more Gerard/Bob out there, guys, I need it in my soul. I also need fic about Gerard and Mikey working as cartpushers for a grocery store instead of cashiers because they hate people. ♥
*I did just count all the bands I'm at least vaguely fannish about, and came up with ten. But I just realized I forgot The Sounds, so eleven? At least?
