Had an awesomesauce dinner with the extended fam for my grandpa's birthday (my aunt even came in from TX!) but that all pales in comparison to Mr. G Way

Then came a brief interlude with teenage drinking (not recommended), and a short attempt at "being cool".

OH SWEETIE ♥__________; My heart literally PANGED.

and also, I remember in the kerfuffle about BBB's inclusiveness/exclusiveness/what have you, someone mentioned how MCR aren't really connected to FBRverse outside of Mikey's flingage, and of course, fandom responded with a hearty "AU CONTRAIRE" but how nice of Gee to provide us with another bit of tasty canon

Oh and I just remembered we actually got Patrick Stump into it...Necrons...that was great...it's lure knew no bounds.

I LOVE HIS FACE. SO MUCH. UGH.

It's a FANDOM POST, YAY!

First of all, I am tickled beyond belief that you guys dig the ballroom dancing au like you do <333 New friends (and maybe old one, idk) may not know this, but I LOVE TO TELL STORIES TO PEOPLE. This is because I am LAZY and also a FAT SLUT FOR FEEDBACK. The point is, I always always always want to tell my friends stories. Sometimes I post them and sometimes I don't but seriously. If any of you IM me (madhatterdru), I am always thrilled to tell you a story. You can be like JENNN TELL ME ABOUT MADCAP SPACE PIRATE GERARD AND FRANK THE DATA PRINCESS or FROG PRINCESS AU, GO! or if you're not picky and lazy (like me! highfive!) just go TELL ME A STORYYYY JENN OMG and I will! It's sort of magical! I get to chatter on happily about the boys I love for a while, and you get to make me happy by *hands*ing and loling and :Oing. So. IDK, I officially declare this ASK JEN TO TELL YOU A STORY Day! And tomorrow is too! Just IM me and ask! Or you could IM me and be like "hi" and I'm liable to be like LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS AU I WANT BUT AM TOO MUCH OF A LAZYASS TO WRITE UP PROPERLY :DDD

In relation to this (somewhat) is my list! I was thinking about fandom cliches and, you know what? I LOVE THEM. SO MUCH. Back in SPNfen? I was that lametard who was loved all the stupid fics that went like this:

SAM AND DEAN: WE ARE HUNTING A SUCCUBUS!
SAM OR DEAN: O NOEZ, I HAVE BEEN ATTACKED BY THE SUCCUBUS
DEAN OR SAM: O NOEZ!
SAM OR DEAN: WE MUST FUCK
DEAN OR SAM: BUT WE ARE BROTHERS
SAM OR DEAN: BUT WE MUSTTTTT or i will die
SAM AND DEAN: *FUCK LIKE BUNNIES*

When people started wising up and writing fic about being angsty and shit, I was like ;___; but but mustn't we fuck? ;___; That was really pointless, but this is a list of bandom cliches that I love! Tell me yours!

( Cliches = A+++ )

Bandom fangirling is going surprisingly well...after all I had heard of it being a pit of sin and horror, it's actually not that bad (then again, I'm too afraid to wade into comms at large, so I've been working mainly off of reclists which tend to be pretty safe) I have expanded my bandgirly joy to include all of the FBRverse as well as MCR and I hardly ever get confused about who is who anymore! YAY!

I saw The Golden Compass on Wednesday, which was good...the beginning was really awkward and choppy and full to bursting with "As you know, Lyra" but once they got into a linear storyline it was pretty sweet. And the bears. God, they were SO COOL. However, the excitement of the movie did not compare with the excitement of getting to movie.

So Matt had bought discount tickets from student activities on opening night, but we didn't manage to go. He still had them, so we were all "Yes, tonight, let's do it!" So we're going to leave at 7, and Hil is supposed to call Emma and let her know when it is. Hil and I are chilling, and 7 rolls around, and up comes Matt.

M: Where's Emma meeting us?
H: OMG I FORGOT TO CALL EMMA!
M: OMG YOU FORGOT TO CALL EMMA
Entire World: OMG!!!!! EMMA!

So Emma's not answering her phone, and Matt is pacing around like a chicken with his head cut off because he wants to see The Golden Compass goddamit!. Once outside, Hil and Matt take off in the direction of Emma's dorm, and Brandon (Matt's roommate who has a car) and I head for the parking lot. We get there and discover (a) his windshield, sunroof and rearwindow are covered in ice, and, even more thrillingly, (b) his doors are FROZEN SHUT.

Matt, Hil and Emma come tearing into the lot (there was a whole to-do, cuz Emma's dorm is old, so you can't get in with a keycard, you need an actual key that only residents had so M & H apparently spent a lot of time hammering on the door and throwing things at Emma's window) And Matt sees us standing by the car, scraping ice off and is all "Compass time now?" and we're like "...uh...ice." It was a serious movie moment. His eyes bugged and were the ground not frozen and other people walking by, he totally would have dropped to his knees all "AAAAAAGH!"

But we, being plucky college students, did NOT surrender! We whipped out our ID cards and started scraping ice out from the cracks of the doors! Passenger side, success! Backseat right, success! Unfortunately, the driver's side took the longest time to open, but it eventually did! Time: 7:20 Showtime: 7:25

Off we go, pull into the cinema parking lot (which is seriously dead) at 7:35, almost kill ourselves on the ice, and...the doors are locked. Matt looked like he was about to cry. However! We knocked! And sullen high school student opened the doors! And when we rushed into the theatre, we discovered there were only, like, 8 other people there and we had arrived just at the end of the National Guard commercial and had not even missed the TRAILERS. GREAT SUCCESS!

But now, I must depart, for I have my history final 7-10 tonight, and I must study from Renaissance to Englightenment, and be prepared to write "a few" paragraphs for identifications (probably 5-8 of those), two 3-4 paragraph primary source analyses and a full 6 paragraph essay. My hand is going to fall off, my brain will probably melt out of my ears, but ah, I persevere.

And ballroom dance exam tomorrow...luckily, Matt and I went to study hours yesterday, and the instructor told us we didn't have to take the Foxtrot exam, since we had just scored an A+ on it (despite being fiendishly attacked by the meaty lummox behind us!) Huzzah!
