There was so much good stuff on twitter this morning.

Jon's tweet about AFYCSO, the video for Na Na Na -- which I enjoyed so much! Though seeing the words gag and bore me in context makes it a little bit harder to imagine he's talking about some kinky sex practice. Ray being the most adorable man ever -- of course he bought 3 copies, of course he did -- and Gerard starting to kill off his role play characters. Which was sad! It's not supposed to be sad, what the hell is wrong with me?

I've been over at

anon_lovefest. I don't know if any of you read the proof series that gets posted there, but omg, a response for one of the requests hit one of my kinks so hard it felt like a slam.

Oh, for people who know such things. Is the picture of Battery City in the video an actual city? Or just some stock image? Also, I want an icon of jazz hands changing colour.

For something that isn't fannish, last night Tinker was doing her usual thing of sleeping on top of my computer tower. Deeply asleep she fell to one side, knocking the candlestick holder off my desk, which knocked off the phone and a pile of letters and a wolf ornament, breaking off its foot. She then sprang up in fright, ran over my keyboard, latched on my arm, all claws out and scratched into my wrist. Pets, such a trail at times. And at first I typoed Pete there, which I guess works too. He sounds sad right now. Over invested, me? Ha.

Oh and hey, it's my LJversary today. 8 years, 3447 posts, 71,854 comments received, 78,799 comments posted. What can I say? I like commenting.

And now I'm going to see if someone has ripped The Young Veins video so I can actually see it. Damn country restrictions, I need my Ryan fix.

Forgot to say. I got caught up on a lot of TV yesterday, NCIS, SPN and Brothers and Sisters. The Walkers remain a train wreck, and yet I can't look away.

ETA: Looking at the hq of the pic in Ray's Ray's blog post that's not in English yeah? Or am I going crazy?

Happy LJ'versary! :D

Thank you!

Happy LJversary! (Which is weird since we are on Dw, but so it goes. *g*)

The lyric video is so happy making! They did such a good job of making it fun and relevant.

Ray is so adorable, I agree! (And I bought my copy too).

I stopped following Jon when he annoyed me so I had to hunt up his twitter name to see what he said. All right, he gets 30 seconds of adorable and then he is back to being annoying. *g*

Poor you and Tinker! Silly cat. Pippin does that when she is sleeping on the back of the couch, but luckily there is the nubby couch fabric for her claws to grip.

Thank you for getting other people to help you with your story. I do prefer seeing a finished product. Plus I have a headache and owe another beta to someone else. Plus, you know, work or whatever. *g*

I'll take comments anywhere, about anything *g*

It is fun! I suspect they had fun picking the pictures too.

I haven't got a copy, I am a bad fan /o\

Ahahahaha. Considering your Jon feelings 30 seconds is a lot.

Tinker knows how to create chaos. The scratches are right where my watch lies too. Stupid cat.

No worries, I figure me telling you how Bob is being a bastard in emails is enough without making you read through and help at this stage too. But omg, he is! Mikey brought him soup and Bob thought he was after sex.

It's Latin. It might be that filler (lorum ipsum etc.), but I'm not sure.

Happy LJversary to you!

That makes sense. Thank you!

For both things :)

Happy LJversary! That's an impressive number of comments. :D

♥

Thank you!

I have 78,838 now, I should have waited until later to post, maybe hit that magic 78,900.

It was so much fun to open up my computer today and see the lyrics video! I love the imagery of it and I'm kind of amazed how much of the words fandom managed to figure out. The gag-and-bore me pic was the most boring one, I prefer to believe that he only put that in because Reprise insisted that his first choice was TOO graphical ;-D

Silly kitty! I hope your scratches will heal well and speedily. Lancecat is sensible, he only naps in places he's at no risk of falling off, preferably the couch cushion I'm sitting on at the moment!

Happy anniversary!

I was going to tell you that it's Latin but I see someone else already has.

I agree. It was obviously a changed picture, no way would they have a gag that boring.

I wish my cats would sleep in sensible places. Right now Tinker is asleep on the desk, her feet hanging over the keyboard. It's very distracting.

Thank you!

Jon has been lacking from this PatD/TYV detente. It's nice to see him getting in on the action.

The lyrics video almost felt to me like a fanvid, you know? Timing the visuals to the lyrics that exactly. Like they're their own fans, they just enjoy it all so much. JAZZ HANDS! *\o/*

I hope your fuzzy kitty learned her lesson. Well, I guess that's not very likely, is it? But I hope it's a long time before she pulls something like that on you again.

He has. He seems to go into these periods where he disappears, and he's a miss.

They are their own fans, I love that. Now I'm grinning even more :D

Oh, she was back up there sleeping the same night, as I looked for the wolf foot and tried stop bleeding everywhere.

happy ljversary! :D

and somebody uploaded tyv to the youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FT5lRMnqS0

Thank you!

Oh yay! I love you, thank you! Going to see right now :D

Whoa, between that and Na Na Na my morning has been colourful. But how pretty is Ryan? And that last shot of him and Jon looking at each other &them; always.

Edited 2010-09-28 08:35 (UTC)

i love it much more than change video, it's just so waaaaaaaaarm and adorable. and their smiles! oh i love this song. and want a vacation :D

Yes! Warm and adorable is a perfect description. They look so happy and watching it makes me smile. I love them so.

it is the mottsiest fucking thing i have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE in the take a vacation video. /o\ he just looks so awkward on film

But he's so pretty! And looks happy in his awkwardness.

You should get rid of your Ryan motts by beating him up in fic again!

I have about 10K of post-prison Bob/Ryan that's just sitting on my HD because I got stuck. I'll send it to you - maybe you can unstick me? It worked on Prison...

You are like magic!

If only my every comment about fic I want would produce results like that.

LOL. Well in exchange I expect extra detailed comments? ;) Its in your inbox. :P

Hahaha, love your icon!!

HEE! My friend

guest_age made it for me after we mainlined the Tudors. I want a cake or death gif thats Henry and like...all the main characters he offed - Cromwell, Anne, Woolsey, etc. :D

"Well, we're OUTTA CAKE!"
"So my choice is 'or death'??"

*g*

I want an Anne icon that says "So my choice is 'or death'?" so badly it almost hurts.

I have it \o/

Even more detailed comments? There's only room for so many comment boxes you know *g*

I'll get it back to you asap.

Happy LJversary!! ♥

I liked the Take a Vacation video, it's so sunny and happy! And you're right, Ryan looks very cute, but JON. Ugh. JON. When he bites his lip a little? And when they look at each other and laugh right at the end? YES PLEASE.

Ohh so much has happened in MCR-land over the night! I am not happy about the officialisation of "gag and bore me". *pouts* Also, "fuck like a Kennedy" and "eat plastic surgery", wtf?? lol

sorry to hijack this comment thread but are you genuinely confused by the "fuck like a Kennedy" line? Because I would be HAPPY to expound. For serious.

Hijacking is welcome, always!

I'm not confused like, "what does this mean?", it's more than never in a milion years would I have guessed that "something something something Kennedy" would end up being that *g* Maybe I should have had more faith in Gerard! GERARD, I AM SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME! *g*

Okay, so President John F Kennedy was something of a notoriously adulterous slut. To quote one of my favorite teen flicks "What would JFK do? You know he'd tap that ass." He "supposedly" had an affair with Marilyn Monroe along with countless others. Plus you've got Robert Kennedy - who was a hotty in his time and "supposedly" ALSO slept with Marilyn Monroe (possibly at the same time - WE DONT KNOW BUT IF THEY DID *points*" KENNEDYs+1=WAYS+1 Y/Y?). There was JFK Jr who was the Prince William of the US before he died tragically (in either a plane wreck or a skiing accident, I genuinely cant remember) who either had a mistress or was just one of those socialite mattress hoppers - you'd have to google. I know Ted Kennedy got outside the lines with his sexual escapades as well.

There were so many Kennedy sex scandals that YOU CAN GOOGLE LISTS. I AM SO NOT KIDDING. It has an implication of badassery but also a certain level of manipulation of the status quo? At least thats what I got out of it.

For more on JFK - START HERE (http://www.cracked.com/article_15895_the-5-most-badass-presidents-all-time_p2.html) AT CRACKED. SRSLY, he's a BAMF. He got the US to the moon (and unfortunately into Vietnam *sigh*) and got blown to hell in WWII and was generally ridic. But yes, its prowess-filled.

Edited 2010-09-28 10:02 (UTC)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU EDITED IT TO ADD IN WAYS+1 I LOVE YOU

(Thank you! *g*)

Why arent we friends? *friends you*

Clearly, a mistake! Which has now been rectified! Hi! :D

Jumping in to add that there are also a lot of questionable dealings and interesting rumors swirling around Joe Kennedy (JFK's father). He had an affair with Gloria Swanson and several other women although those affairs are more speculation than hard documented fact. There is a really persistent rumor that he was heavily involved in bootlegging during the American prohibition but it's never been proven beyond a doubt. This article on source of the Kennedy weath (http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/716/what-is-the-true-source-of-the-kennedy-familys-wealth) explains a fair bit.

Thank you!

The end bit slays me! They're all smiley and happy and about to go off and have hot sex in the sun!

I KNOW! That is not the context I want, MCR. It's okay though, I'm keeping my own interpretation. The same way as in my head Gerard says fuck me you animal.

Eating plastic surgery makes me think of them eating breast implants D:

I had this whole conversation last night with

crazybutsound about how Ryan was cute in a "pinch his cheeks, I'm so happy you're happy" kind of way, while Jon makes me go "UNF" since he cut his hair.

Also, how Take a Vacation is nice and fuzzy while MCR is a kick to the gut :D

Re:lyrics: THE AUTHOR IS DEAD! THE ARTIST CAN'T CONTROL THE MESSAGE! POWER TO THE PEOPLE! *raises fist* We'll pervert your lyrics if we want to AND YOU CAN'T STOP US ;)

Oh god, I agree, Ryan is cute and Jon hot as hell, but then in my head Ryan gets with Mikey and together they're sleek and dangerous and do filthy things together and why do I always fall for the rare pairings?!

Yep. I've been watching both and the see sawing of emotion between the two is making me dizzy.

That is what Gerard wants! We should band together and tweet en mass that he's saying what WE want. Screw official lyrics!

*fist pump*

Well, Mikey/Ryan could very well happen in a Killjoys setting! I mean, Panic has to be somewhere out there, right?

I love that we have A RANGE OF EMOTIONS in bandom again. Like, THERE IS ACTUAL STUFF HAPPENING. I'm not over it yet *g*

La La La.

Not listening!

It is only going to get better!

But what else will Mikey do while Ray's teaching his kid how to read and Frank/Gerard are playing with each other's hair???

Look at him, so sad and lonely now that his brother is cared for! WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF MIKEY???

:D

Edited 2010-09-28 11:44 (UTC)

I suspect Mikey being looked after by Ryan would end up in disaster.

They'd take their patrol, sitting on the roof of the Trans Am, all terrible posture and gangly legs, Ryan's jacket too small so his bony wrists are visible.

OMG! Look what you're making me do!

And don't think I don't see your playing with each other's hair euphemism!

THIS IS A RIDICULOUSLY TEMPTING FIC BUNNY. >.

Happy LJversary! Mine was a couple of weeks ago but I've only been here a year, it didn't seem worth posting about. You've been here QUITE a while. \o/

The Na Na video is cute! And IDK about The Young Veins. I can see what they're trying to do, it's probably just not quite up my alley. The video is cute though.

Oh no! Gerard is killing off his larp characters! What will they do with their time now? :D Their geekery will never cease to amuse me.

I's taking a leaf from

dancinbutterfly's book and also hijacking comment threads >.>

What will they do with their time now? :D

Hopefully? Plenty of videos and interviews and then tour for the rest of tiiiiiime *g*

Okay, I'm going now, sorry!

YES! TOURS. INTERVIEWS. VIDEOS. SHIT-HOT PHOTO SHOOTS.

Sorry, I still slide back into capslock occasionally. All the new stuff excites me a LOT. Can you tell?

And hey, hijack away. I'm afraid I don't have a stack of interesting JFK material to share with you, but gosh G Fett looks nice in leather pants doesn't he? And I love that he is showing off his arms more these days. And don't even get me started on hot-blonde Mikeyway....

CAPSLOCKS WILL NEVER NOT BE OKAY!

I appreciate everything about this new incarnation of the band! And Blonde!Mikeyway gets me started, if you know what I mean *leers*

*sighsighsigh* Oh Mikeyway, how ALWAYS so pretty?

I'm an old LJ hag. I'll probably still be here waving my cane when we update via our minds *g*

I like TYV's music, it's what I listen to when I want to kick back a little. They'll never be one of my top bands, simply because I prefer a harder sound, but Ryan delights me so much I'd listen even if he was off doing spoken poetry set to bagpipes.

I think he needs to write fanfic and include it with the album. You know he's got the whole story in his mind, tell us all about Cherri Cola's epic love, G Fett!

Mmmm I don't hate TYV, they just don't excite me musically like Panic's stuff. And god, watching Ryan sing on that video? I don't know how to react. He gives me Pete vibes in that I find him adorable and want to cuddle him but I also feel embarrassed for him. *cuddles him and squeezes eyes tightly shut*

Oh dude. I would read the SHIT out of that fanfic. Oh he's totally got it all mapped out like the Star Wars, and you know he's got character sketches and backgrounds for everyone. Oh yes, GFett, DO share *chinhands*

Oh my, can someone please tell this Ryan Ross chap he's not in the Beatles circa 1963. I'm sure this song is doing the rounds at your local nursing home, hehehe.
In other news:
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

He does love that time period it seems. I think he's awesome ♥

BEST LYRICS EVER!

Happy ljversary to yooooou honey!

Thank you!

Oh, man, I can't wait to get home and watch the video. \o/ It's going to be such a long day at work!

It's a lot of fun. Also, nice to know all the lyrics.

happy ljversary!

jon's afycso tweet was nice but dammit, i wish he'd get over his blues, add everyone back and start tweeting on a regular basis again. i understand he moved and is selling his house (which i so want to buy) and actually has a life but we miss him. tyv's video was so cheesy but i love it nonetheless. oh, ryanross, you make me want to mother you, scold you and make you spit out that gum.

i need to get an actual paid copy of na na na and support the boys...like they so need my money. lol

i was so lost watching the walkers. i felt like i missed half of last season. seriously. but they always make me feel better about myself. lol

Thank you! Are you dusting off the old journals? *g*

Yeah, Jon does tend to get moody at times. It always seems like he decides he wants nothing to do with being actually known and goes to hide out for a while. Which yeah, is his right but he is a miss. TTV is cheesy to the extreme. RyRo, awkward and adorable always.

I need a paid copy too. I am a filthy downloader at the moment.

At the beginning I thought they were going to keep Robert in a coma all season and I got annoyed thinking they'd hide the fact Rob Lowe wasn't there with obvious camera tricks. I'm glad that didn't happen. But really, what else can happen to that family?

lol i'm thinking about it. ;-)

i just find jon mentioning fever and not the video yesterday a little weird. ryanross is always awkward no matter what. he was so awkward when i gave him the iphone back in july but damn that boy had soft hands. lol

if they had him in a coma all season they'd be just like every soap opera out there. how un-original. lol

You know, it didn't even cross my mind that he'd done that, about Fever and not the vid.

I'll just think about Ryan's soft hands instead.

Happy Anniversary! :)

Thank you!

The text on the column under the thumb looks like English to me but I think the other two columns are in Latin. I'm not sure I find the fuzzy text hard to read.

Edit: I'm positive they're in Latin. I'm not sure if it's actual text though. It could be filler text. I can make out something about living and that's about it.

Also, Happy LJ'versary! I don't know the Proof'verse but I think I'd best go look for it. I'm curious now.

The Battery City has to be a city somewhere even if it's just a stock photo right? I have no idea what city but I mean I think it ought to have existed at one point.

Edited 2010-09-28 15:53 (UTC)

A few people have said Latin filler, I guess they didn't expect people to look so close.

Thank you! The Proof verse is damn hot. I keep forgetting about it until anon lovefest does the round ups then I re read favourite parts.

I'm thinking it has to be some city. One that's now covered in poison and droids. Damn them and their half clues.

Happy LJversery! I just realized that mine was a week ago. [grins] I beat you by a year.

Oh fuck, that is totally another language. Latin! [cracks up] I'm so tempted to try and translate it, but it's pretty fragmentary and if it's the same kind of bastard Latin from Frank's stamp it may not make much sense. Interestingly, not the entire newspaper is Latin, the part under Frankie's thumb is in English.

The lyrics video is just another level of awesome added onto so much awesome that I really can barely stand it. This is getting ridiculous. How can one fucking album be this good? LOL and I totally had no idea what Gerard was singing half the time. I was actually doing pretty good to get the dirty palms line, and most of the choruses were total surprises.

I gotta buy myself a copy of the song proper. Must visit Amazon, as I hate and loathe iTunes. :/

Thank you fellow old LJ hag *g*

I'm laughing imagining people trying to translate and it's total filler. I've now decided it's Frank's shopping list, formula and nappies.

I only knew what he was singing due to other people working out the lyrics. Getting the actual right words was just another part of awesome. They're so ridiculous and fun it's unreal.

Yeah, me too. I want to support them officially.

Hag! Hmph! [waves my cane at you] You newfangled youngsters don't have any manners these days!

I want to support them officially. I want to buy ALL the merch, and ALL the albums, and put up posters and possibly get The Future Is Bulletproof tattooed on my body, and I can't and it SUCKS. Is it fucking November yet?

YES YES FRANK'S SHOPPING LIST. [giggles] I'm going to try translating some of it, see what I can come up with.

RIGHT? Bandom is picking up again, and I'm glad since I wasn't there for the first wave. I mean, I listened to all the bands, but I wasn't active in fandom. I really, really like the NANANA video; though I did complain about the use of 'then' instead of 'than' near the end in one of the MCR comms.

Erm... TYV. I'm not a big fan of Ryan and Jon's musical direction. It's just too static and 60's for me. I can't submerge myself into the lyrics like I could for AFYCSO or croon along like Pretty.Odd.. :/ Such an awkward puppy, Ryan Ross, awkward puppy. I am glad that Jon cut his hair! Ry needs to follow along with that plan.

I think the picture Ray blogged is in Latin? Just filler text. Like you do for layout previews, etc.

Finally, Happy LJversary! I've almost been here 3 years.

These last few weeks have been amazing. I love the energy that's around right now, and how that's sparking discussion and fic and all sorts of fun stuff. Bandom went through a really bad year and I'm thrilled we've come out of the other side.

I like TYVs music, but only to an extent. It's like, I'll listen for sure, but only when I'm in a specific mood, because my usual taste is for much harder music. The thing is though, if Ryan's there so am I. Damn him and his awkward, adorable self.

It looks like you're right, at least that's what I've seen elsewhere. I looked and just thought, the hell?

Thank you! I love LJ, it's why even though I crosspost from DW I still think of this place as my home.

Happy LJ-versary! You've been around almost as long as I have! And I think we've been on each other's flists for most of that time, actually. :D

*confetti showers*

Thank you!

Yeah, it's been a long time. Faults and all, I love it here.

Happy LJ-versary! :-D

Thank you!

Happy LJversary!

I'm also sad about the twitter characters dying... but it's exciting to think it's building to something, right? Muuusiiiiic :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

Thank you!

Music as the end result is so worth it! I will go along with Gerard's ride and enjoy every moment.

First things first: Happy LJ-versary!

Now, I'm SO RELIEVED that even people whose first language is English have a hard time understanding Gerard when he sings. The first time I listened to the song (because whenever I watched the trailer I was too distracted by all the pretty to try to understand the lyrics) I was like, "WHAT'S GOING ON? I THOUGHT I COULD UNDERSTAND ENGLISH! D:"

Personally, I LOVE TYV. I mean, I don't love Ryan and Jon as much as I love other bandom boys (like MCR boys and Pete Wentz) but the music? I love it. And both Ryan and Jon seem to be happy with the direction they decided to go musically, and it's nice to see RyRo smile. So all in all, I loved the video.

Thank you!

There were many lines I didn't get at all when I listened to the song, and many I found out I'd heard really wrong. So it's no wonder you couldn't understand parts either.

The video was smiley and happy, I loved that. I have to be in the right mood for TYV music, it's so mellow that it's no good for when I'm out walking somewhere, as I end up meandering around in a daze. But RyRo being so obviously happy, that's fantastic.
