So, I tried to download a game emulator today to play Sims 2 and other things on my laptop. When I was installing it, my computer flipped the fuck out and made me do a system restore. When I restored it, my Firefox window was completely messed up. This is what I mean. So after lots of minutes of freaking out and reinstalling, I had to give in and install Firefox 3.0. I am not happy about this because I lost my bookmarks when I updated before, so I imported all my bookmarks to del.ico.us first, but that is going to take forever to organize. Also, I hate this new address bar crap.

Also:
SHUT THE FUCK UP WILLIAM BECKETT. SHUT THE FUCK UP. I CANNOT DEAL WITH YOU AND YOUR STUTTERING AND YOUR BEING HORRIFICALLY AWKWARD IN INTERVIEWS AND YOUR EMO POETRY RIGHT NOW. JESUS H. CHRIST.

...I think I need a drink.

So, I was dicking around on Youtube, watching old TAI TVs, and I came across this video I had never seen before. And watching it, I spent approximately 12 million years laughing. Oh my God, William, please be a diva about your clothes forever.

I've been thinking about maybe trying to make a TAI mood theme. Someone tell me this is a terrible idea. Mood themes are so goddamn annoying to make, I don't know why I keep wanting to make more.

Anyway, Tomrad continues to be ridiculously endearing. Today he posted pictures of him and Danielle at Taste of Chicago and her birthday dinner. I don't know why, but Tom taking a picture of his half-eaten ice cream is like, the cutest thing ever to me.

Oh, also, on Sims 2 for PS2, they have Sim-language version of pop songs, right? One is a Paramore song. This kind of weirded me out. Also, I figured out my Sim's problem with romance. She's a lesbian! \o/ But I am upset that you can't play more than one storyline at once. Like, I can't go create Jon and Tom Sims and have them fall in love. :( I need to find a download for this game for my computer, obviously.

Bunch of TAI graphics. I'd apologize for not making stuff of anyone else lately, but no one else I regularly make icons of is doing anything.

The new TAI song went up tonight. I don't like it as much as "About a Girl" but I still think it's pretty good. Despite what the edgy folk at AbsolutePunk.net say, I still think the new album's gonna be awesome. Delusional? Probably, but I'm okay with that.

In other news, I still love Todd of Jason&Todd. He went and got all defensive on Jason's behalf! ♥Todd♥

Also, I have been playing The Sims again. When I was in Iowa, my grandma offered to buy me something at Wal-Mart and it was on sale for PS2, so I figured, what the hell. I had forgotten about it until this past weekend and started it up. It's a lot different from playing on the computer but I really like it. Except all the guys my character is flirting with want to just be friends. >:( I can't even get laid in Simworld.

Anyway, I haven't showered in like, awhile. I'm gonna go do that and then maybe sleep.

Sorry, this adorable pair of sleeping boyfriends is not being put under a cut.


I don't even know anymore. They went skinny dipping and took pictures of each other posing naked.

Also, Jason calling himself "the brains and muscle" of the operation is probably the funniest thing I've ever heard. The entire video he just sits around while his hair blows in the wind. I love you so much, Jason Siska.

Speaking of Siskas, TAI TV tonight was pretty good. I don't know why there was footage from last August at Decaydancefest but Siska being all concerned about his cat and bitching to his parents made up for it. Also, here is more proof that Sisky is the only member of TAI that knows how to give a decent interview.

But he also apparently got meet up by some dudes in Detroit. Oh Sisky-Biz. :( But at least Butcher drew him a picture.

And speaking of TAI, I finally preordered Fast Times At Barrington High. Smartpunk.com is giving away a free signed poster with it, so I figured I would support the boozehounds that way.

And not speaking of him, this solo Conor Oberst album is really, really good.

The things I do in the summer, I swear.

And I have done it again.

Guess who has this picture as his new default on Myspace? Yup, that's right, Todd does! He didn't upload any new photos or write a blog, he seemingly just logged in to change his default picture from one of him by himself to one of him and Jason. He also has "About a Girl" as his profile song (so does Jason ♥). He obviously wants to look good to the family.

Seriously guys, seriously. Boyfriends.

My mom is out of town until Tuesday, so I have the house to myself. Nothing will really be different than usual besides me having to feed the cats in the morning. And I don't have to sneak around at night, so that's a plus.

So, um.

( I just got back from the Dark Knight. Spoilers within, obviously )

In other news, The Who Rock Honors thing was amazing. I would talk more about it, but uh, I think I need ice cream and other things of the sort.

I decided to be less late on getting my pictures and shit together for Warped than I did for Bonnaroo. Of course, Warped was one day while Bonnaroo was a whole weekend, so that helped too.

( Cut for crappy pictures, crappier videos and the story of how Warped almost killed me )

Anyway, I have acquired lots of new friends! Hi, I'm ridiculous and love The Academy Is..., Empires, Jon Walker, Jason Siska and his gay mormon flight attendant Survivor-winning boyfriend Todd. I also love my cats (all 9 of them) and pic spamming and blathering on about movies and tv and other kinds of music. Anything you want to know, just ask, I'm pretty open about my weirdo life. (Like how I managed to listen to "About a Girl" over 50 times in a period of 24 hours. As you can tell, I'm deeply invested in William Beckett's happiness.)

Title: Gravel Kissed Skin
Pairing: Butcher/Siska
Word count: ~1100
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Butcher falls off his bike and Siska bandages him up
Author's Notes: Written for just_katarin for her birthday, (which I am a few hours late on. Sorry bb! ♥) because I love her. Also, unbeta'd.

( Dude, there's like, blood all over your hands and your foot. You at least need a fucking band-aid. )

I am exhausted and slightly delirious and I have way too many tabs of posts and shit to read so this is all I will say about Warped tonight:

Warped patrons are assholes, Cobra Starship is the hottest band ever, Gym Class Heroes are stupid amounts of fun and The Academy Is... is infuckingcredible. I grinned like a fucking idiot during their whole set. I love all Williams and Siskys (holy jesus he was hot) and Butchers and Chizs and even Mike Cardens.

And now I am going to bed.

Fuck all yall william is afuckingmazing

Siska is even hotter irl holy shit

OT3 snakes on a plane of my heart

I am getting ready to go to Warped with Rachel tomorrow. I've never been to Warped but I think I've watched enough Fuse to have a good idea of what to expect. There are a lot of bands I'm hoping to see, but TAI is what I'm most excited about, because that is what my life has become. I'm taking my CD booklets (and my Cobra AP magazine) in case something happens and I'm able to meet them. I think I'm actually nervous about this. TAI, what have you done to me?

Anyway, I'm six episodes into Dexter and I think I have a crush on teenage!Dexter. IMDB tells me he's the same age as me, so I don't have to feel skeevy about it. \o/

Happy Birthday Lord of the Failbots.

Sorry I don't have porn for you, Ryan J.
( Are pictures good instead? )

In other news, BEWARE! COUGAR!

Here are all my pictures of Jason and Todd together. Why, you ask?

( Why not? )

So now, I have a question. How gay is Jason? And by "gay" I don't mean "gay and retarded" ala Stephenie. I mean gay like most of this message board's population. I always thought that Jason was one of those gays that was ashamed of the flamers because he was worried that people looked at him like one, too. Thoughts?
---
I would say that Jason is someone who believed he was straight for so long that it is hard for him to realize that he is not as well as what people would say. But as someone told me a long time ago and it is so true. "When you find that special person, who you love, who makes you laugh and who you enjoy spending your time with, then it will not even matter what people say"

Um. Did Chet seriously just out Jason? Because I think he did. (it's not the first post but it's on that page)

Guys. What.

And that's not all!
( I think I know who that special someone is... )

BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT. I know it's just what Chet said but Chet has been a gay man for a very long time and I would trust his gaydar over mine. And like, okay, I know it's perfectly normal for a gay guy and a straight guy to become bffs, but um, Todd and Jason...um. I don't know, anymore. I'm trying really hard not to be crazy and tinhatty about this but um. ♥Jason/Todd♥ forever, okay?
