it's just a matter of time before we're all found out

I'm really supposed to be writing, even if it's just to make sure that I keep my discipline and so this day isn't a complete waste of time. Instead, I'm reading band!slash and listening to music and wondering if I'm having a teenage-revival. I was a teenager consistently for all of six months when I was 13, and maybe three months in America; the rest of the time, I've been an insecure 35-year-old, or five-year-old, depending on time and day. Except now I'm feeling like a teenager. And not a particularly old one, like maybe 15 or 16? Maybe it's just because I'm listening to Fall Out Boy (who are awesome, but also remind me of my 13/15-year-old self; this was not my most functional period, so why I like FOB so much is a little beyond me. Except for the aforementioned awesomeness, and also their songs titles.) And maybe because I'm re-reading Harry Potter and loving the teenage elements of it, where before I've always wanted the children's book side. And maybe because I'm writing again, which I haven't done in ages, and I'm writing like proper long original fic, which I haven't done since, uh, 16? (Wow, it's actually longer than I thought.)

Also, my posts are full of emo, and Gemma is accusing my music taste of being the same. And what better way to prove that I've rapidly descended into teendom?

I'm beginning to think Gemma is right and I think too much. I blame all the free time I have! And now, I am going to go finish this fic and then write my thousand words, dammit!

And also keep listening to Fall Out Boy, because, really - love.

because Fall Out Boy are amazing, clearly. :D

hi. ♥

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

They really, really are :D

Incidentally, I meant to tell you yesterday, but forgot - thanks for your music meme post, it reminded me of Something Corporate's existence and I downloaded a bunch of songs, which are also AWESOME. So, thank you! You are the music pimpstress ;)

[thewayout.livejournal.com]

yes yes. something corporate & jack's mannequin sound the same, because they're both the same singer/pianist.

and of course, if you ever need new music pimped to you, i listen to a lot of stuff that's the same sort of "genre" as fall out boy. which, you know. emo. oops. lmao.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Hee! I actually think I might like Jack's Mannequin a little better, though that may just be because I'm currently listening to Bruised, which is all kinds of amazing.

Sounds good :) I'm feeling a little more experimental with my music these days, so pimp away!

i love bruised. it's so much fun live, because everyone jumps around during the choruses, sings along, everything.

um, well. my favourites to LISTEN to are my chemical romance (they're harder, more screamy) and taking back sunday, probably, but panic! at the disco are good, and so gay that fandom is easy. lmao.

You are not alone! I'm currently reliving my teenage years as well, only now I have a driver's licence. Make of that what you will.

Re: <3

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

I really need to *use* my drivers license. Or it's going to start scaring me.

Also, can I be 13 and 35 at the same time? Because it's freaking me out.

Re: <3

[lattara.livejournal.com]

I'm *always* scared of driving (so am I really sure I'm a teenager? Something to ponder.)

I graciously grant you permission. But only if I can, too.

You are the Queen of the Universe - as far as I'm concerned, you can be whatever age you want!

Re: <3

[lattara.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's good to have friends!

Re: <3

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Hee!

Re: <3

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Also! We need to find some time when we can see each other. I have Foyle's War for you, and I need to introduce you to Band of Brothers (oh hush. You'll like it, I promise.)


(AH! I am so, so glad to have you home :D)

Re: <3

[lattara.livejournal.com]

How about the 6th of August? It's the soonest available date (IT IS A CONCERN, WHAT?) so I'll get to see you sooner, yay! And if we want to, we could meet up on the 8th as well. :)

PS. Foyle's War ROCKS!

Re: <3

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

The 6th is PERFECT. I will be there *grins*

And Foyle's War is awesome - particularly season 3 (omg, season 3!)

Re: <3

[lattara.livejournal.com]

It's a non-date date!

PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED EVERY SINGLE EPISODE? (what am I *saying*, of course you have.)

Re: <3

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

It is precisely that!

Nah, still missing two of season 4. Which isn't quite as good as season 3, though still brilliant.

Re: <3

[lattara.livejournal.com]

EEEEE! CAN'T WAIT!

Re: <3

Also, my brother is watching Eddie Izzard and LAUGHING MADLY.

Re: <3

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Eddie is so much LOVE! And I defy anyone to watch him and not laugh!

Re: <3

[lattara.livejournal.com]

He has this long build-up where you're basically going "... yes, very curious, right -" and then all of a sudden, WHAM!

And then you bruise a rib.

(True story: When we were in Alsace, last week, I kept hearing his voice saying la chien est sur la table and, well. You can probably guess.)
