Let 'em Know I Wasn't Crazy...

Oh PANIC. Be more campy than anyon imagined! I love it. Another "let's see how ridiculous we can get" video where Shane Drake let's the crazy take over.

( Thisis where I gush. Cut because I'm such a nice person )

Okay, back to research.

I HIT OVER 10K for BBB today! That's when you take out all the not!fic parts! So yay!!!! Thank you to everyone who was super encouraging on my last post. You guys rock and you're totally going to rock your big bangs!

In honor of hitting the halfway mark and no long feeling like I'm going to fail this (even if there are AT LEAST 6 more scenes that will probably take this to around 30K if I'm not careful), I'm picspamming Panic.

I had a breakthrough where I really developed a specific setting for my big bang and now I feel super compelled to post a bunch of Vices & Virtues pics. Some are promos, some are from the Bundles they sold....

These have a purpose to ME and it'll probably make sense eventually, but it's more my need to have all my "costuming" pics in one place. ;)


( I'm only into steampunk for the clothing choices. Keep it chic, boys. )

No idea why I captioned with song lyrics, especially such random ones. Just go with it. Also, you're welcome ;)

And I should have been in bed 2 hours ago since I have a training at like 9...and therefore have to be up at 6. Oh well. Good night, kiddies! <3

UGH. YOU GUYS.

I KNOW there is still over two weeks before drafts are due for bandombigbang. And I know they pushed it back a day....

But OMG. I think I might have to pull out of wave one. I mean, I could, in theory, still get at least MOSTLY finished by then...but IDK. Right now I have just under 8,000 words of the 20,000 that I need...and most of those words are actually not-fic right now just so I know where I'm going. I'm sure it would hit 20,000 if I could actually bring myself to write it.

But OMG it's HARD.

I should have begged someone to write with me.

Blah. So how is everyone else doing in the writing department at the moment?

Heaven help me.

I'm about to sign up for both waves of bandombigbang. Because I clearly have nothing but time on my hands. Especially when I'll be starting field placement in May. But there's at least a month between the deadlines for BBB wave 1, SBB, and BBB wave 2 so. Should be completely possible.

I think I've lost my mind. But maybe serious deadlines will like...MAKE me write shit. Who knows. Wish me luck.

Oh, and happy single awareness day. Or Lupercalia if you know the history of what we now know as a marketing gimmick. Yeah, no, I'm not bitter. ;) Actually, I'm in a good mood. I got a PINK HEDGEHOG BEANIE BABY! PINK. HEDGEHOG! His name is "Smitten" on the tag. I'm contemplating naming him "Hartley" in honor of the awesomely bad horror movies we watched tonight.

Yes, I'm easily amused.

I just want to ramble, so that's what I'm going to do.

1. Pete and Ashlee's break up. :( I feel really bad for all of them (Pete, Ashlee, Bronx) but I'm hoping it really is as amicable as it seems and they all end up happier for it. Also, I have read some insane things from some really crazy fans and just...really? I know I'm a fangirl, but can we have a little bit of respect please? Also. if I see someone quoting "Would you rather be a widow or a divorcee" ONE MORE FUCKING TIME I cannot be held responsible for my actions.

2. I am distraught by the lack of Spencer Smith in everything Panic does. I get that Brendon's the front man and I adore the kid, but seriously. The "Making of..." For "Mona Lisa" I think has him saying "Hi, I'm Spencer" and "The first single for our new album." I didn't used to care so much, but...there's only two of them, give Spencer some camera time.

3. Panic's doing a UK tour in April. That's all good and well for the kids in the UK but does nothing for me. I know, I know, we'll probably get a summer tour. I don't care. I want to see them like...immediately after the new album comes out.

4. Once again, cannot take critiques seriously when they write Brendon's name as Brandon. Once is a typo; four times makes your argument invalid based on general stupidity. Saw two that did that yesterday.

5. GOT TICKETS FOR TRAVIE with BLACK CARDS, BAD RABBITS... and some other people...for MARCH 20 IN TOWSON! I'm SO fucking excited! Katie's going with me again and apparently her goals are to manage to touch Travie McCoy and hopefully find a way to show Pete Wentz I have Fall Out Boy lyrics on my wrist. She's a good friend. >.>

I'm still not going to do any work. No, really. You know that point in the day where you realize and have to come to terms with the fact that you are NOT going to accomplish anything else? Yes, I am there. I think I was there at about 10 a.m. And I still have class tonight. Joy. So...Time to find another way to occupy my time. Text me or something! ;)

I know, there are about 30 posts I could comment on about this right now, but I'm too flaily and felt it would be better to just do my own instead of clutter other people's with all my nonsense.

PANIC! RELEASED A CLIP OF THEIR NEW SONG!!!! I still wish I could have come up with am excuse for work and someone to go with me to NYC to see them on Feb 1st, but I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for a fucking leak. Whatever. The rest of "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" (Which is not a ballad, keep the pretentiousness alive, Panic!) comes out Feb. 1st and I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED. I AM FLAILING WITH GLEE!!!



Allow me to give a 30second clip entirely too much thought and far too many exclaimation marks

( I'll even cut it so no one wants to kill me )

Okay. I'm done. I need to go crash because, while I'm hoping for a snow day, we probably won't get one and I need to be up for work in less than five hours.

Basically, to prove I'm still alive, here's something I swiped from babykid528

( Looking back.... )

Title: In The Back of Your Head
Fandom: Bandom, specifically Panic (appearances/mentions of members of TAI, MCR, FOB, Cobra, The Cab, Travie and TYV)
Pairing: Gen (but intended pre-Brendon/Spencer/Bob)
hc_bingo prompt: Cages
Rating: Hard R
Warnings: Slavery, physical violence, emotional and physical abuse, mentions of sex slavery (non-explicit), forced nudity, language
Summary: Spencer didn't actually look at anyone who came to browse, didn't care, never did. It was all the same, even if the faces changed. Not all places were like Saporta's, the vast majority were a direct opposite but they all looked like perfectly respectable people....if respectable meant in favor of owning people and forcing them to get their hands dirty so you don't have to.

RUNNER UP: ZOE SALDANA

She is neither shocked nor upset. She beat all the other girls so she's still entitled to be smug.

And you ALL know what that means. I'm picspamming our winner


(that's so much easier than doing all the manual coding for it *is lazy*)

Now, let's get to the part we've all been waiting for, right? (I'm kinda bummed I don't get to picspam Brendon because I have SO many more pics of him saved but I'm thinking I've got enough for this. :)

( Now it might sound cocky, but is it really cocky if you know that it's true? )

Thanks to everyone who voted! Love you guys! You made this a lot more fun than I thought it'd be! <3
