Jezebel used a pictured from the Dreamers to illustrate that incest article. LOL, most obscure incest reference from popular culture.

Anyway, new friends, hi! Everyone else is making intro posts, so I figured I might as well, too. I'm 23, in fall I'll be starting my senior year at UCLA, and I take a lot of public transportation to get there and back. Unfortunately there will probably be a lot of bitching about that, but I try to keep it behind a cut. I'm also trying to be more positive in my journal as general, which is why there are entries about zombie lawn ornaments and horror movies on the front page, because those are the things that make me happy.

I've been in fandom for almost ten years now--started out on message boards in Buffy fandom, moved to LJ for popslash, got really into a ton of smaller fandoms where I was the only writer, and then eventually migrated into bandom about a year and a half ago, where I generally find myself unable to write anything but Pete/Patrick and cultverse. I overidentify with Pete like whoa and love Patrick a ridiculous amount, but I adore pretty much everyone and read almost anything.

Um, that's about it? Questions, comments?

My sister wanted to buy The Dreamers the other day. I was all 0_0 "zomg no!".

Haaaa. Did she not know that it's about a half-gay, half-incestuous threesome?

She picks up movies based on whether the guys on the cover are hot, so I'd wager no. *g*

Hmm, that reminds me, I should probably watch the second half of that film.

Erm, hi!

Hi! And yes, you definitely should, especially if you didn't hit the sex scenes yet.

Mhmmm, cultverse. Thought MCR is more of a proper cult than anything. ;)

And though i only set foot in westwood for two reasons, those reasons are damn tasty ones: 1. hookah and 2. those obscenely large, delicious cookie sandwiches. You know the ones?

MCR is definitely more of a proper cult, but the thing is I honestly believe Gerard when he says that he just wants to save people, so it doesn't work as well for the creepy. *g* Besides, Pete's the one trying to take over the world.

I have not had a cookie sandwich, unfortunately. What's the store/restaurant called? I mostly stop in Westwood for lunch. Mmmm, sushi rolls.

I guess I think Pete is just too goofy to be a proper creepy cult leader. *g* I think Gerard would end up taking over the world by default if only Pete didn't try so hard....

And dude--seriously? Never had Diddy Riese? I recommend splitting one with a friend because otherwise, the double cookie-ice cream sandwich will end up being your next meal--they're HUGE. And they're 1.50. (EVIL.) It's on Broxton, by the movie theater.

Ooh, I will definitely have to check that out. Om nom nom cookies and ice cream.

I think reading Pete's blogs obsessively even before I saw a lot of footage had a lot to do with me choosing creepy over goofy. Especially the blog entry that inspired cultverse:

Sometimes I feel like the fucking pied piper.
The tinted glass is like a two way mirror.
This is so voyeuristic it hurts.
(I never meant to be like this).
What we’d all do for alittle attention.
Its like the pied piper-
But I am following the light down a vermin hole.
You probably shouldn’t come after me.
It’s like the pied piper-
Only it’s a little bit more like a cult.
And I don’t even feel like I am the one behind the wheel anymore.

If Gerard really put his mind to it, though, he'd be way more successful at taking over the world.

Oh, wow. Yeah, I never read his blogs, so that's super interesting. Gotta say, I like the fluffier MCR cult, though. The power (im)balance between Patrick and Pete makes me a little more uncomfortable than I like to be.

(...and actually, I should take a run over to Diddy's sometime this summer. It occurs to me it's been over a year since I've been. Delicioso.)

You definitely should! Beyond having naked gay incestuous threesomes, it's also just a really good movie.

If it wasn't $90 plus shipping, I would buy it. My mom would probably disapprove too, but my dad would be 100% behind me!

I'm responding to this because I never think to actually call you when I'm not super busy at work or in the middle of watching a program or something but go here: http://www.thedrumsinsideyourchest.com/ and let me know if you're interested in going. My friend Dave wants to go too but I thought you might also want to go so let me know soon so I can buy tickets.

Also, talk of the Pied Piper makes me think of The Ice Cream Man. "Who's the Pied Piper now..."</i> Also I forgot to get my movie back from you when we hung out last time. I need my Zachary Levi fix since I'm not going to ComiCon, the first season of Chuck doesn't come out on DVD until September 16th, and the second season doesn't start until September 29th.

That event looks really cool, but I just got a job and have no idea what my work schedule will be right now. I'll get back to you after I find out when I'll be working!

Agh, I'm sorry! We definitely need to hang out soon so I can give you your movie back. Call me (when you're not at work)!

Well let me know as soon as you can. I think I may just buy three tickets after I get paid on Friday and either the third will be for you or I'll find someone else to use it. I don't know how likely it'll sell out but the idea of driving into Downtown LA makes me nervous enough as it is.

I guess we'll figure out some time to hang out once you know what your schedule will be like. Hopefully you'll be able to make it to the show.
