In this interview with Panic at the Disco (I really want to say 'with Brendon and Spencer', but I don't have to narrow it down like that anymore, because it's only them. It feels weird), Spencer is asked how the new version of Panic at the Disco will be different, and he says that they have more fun, that it's easier, and that "everybody's opinion matters and counts". So I guess Panic really was so Ryan's that, well. Only his opinions mattered. Or maybe nobody else wanted to mess with Ryan's vision before since it was so important to him, so even though Ryan never actually said, "hey, I'm the boss", everyone just kinda let him take the lead. What do you guys think, Ryan Ross: evil dictator?

Does anyone have an mp3 of that Open Happiness song that Brendon is all over? I honestly love that guy, Brendon Urie. He's just so... I dunno, carefree. Roll-with-the-punches. And he and Spencer are both lookin' ridiculously good in these pictures from a recent M & G.

I watched 17 Again yesterday, and good lord, Zefron is looking gorgeous. Honestly, so fuckin' hot. And he knows it. Zac/Leslie is my favorite new ship.

New Perspective! (On Myspace.) Let's chat about it.

I'm not gonna lie: I like it. But where I wasn't sure if I liked the tunes on Pretty. Odd. because they were good or because they were by the Disco, I am sure I like New Perspective because it's by the Disco. If this song were by, like, Marianna's Trench, I probably would take or leave it. If it were by Fall Out Boy, I'd like it. It's all about the sentimental worth you give these types of pop-punk songs.

If this song weren't by Brendon and Spencer: I'd think it were cute. It'd make me happy to listen to it. But I would not recommend it to anyone who I didn't already know was a fan of the pop-punk genre.

I'm gonna blast it from my speakers and I'm gonna love it, I already love it. But my reasons aren't exactly all that honorable.

I'm psyched for the new album. Come onnnnn, guys.

Yeah, I got up at 7am and this was the first thing I did. SO WHAT.

ETA: Jon and Ryan are releasing new music today? Ugh, today is already wondrous. I love today.

SO, today I wore my "Ryan & Jon & Spencer & Brendon" shirt (sadface), and just for fun I used masking tape to tape off Ryan and Jon's names (SADFACE, I KNOW, WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?). An 8 year old was reading it outloud at one point, and the "on" of "Brendon" was hidden behind my arm, and he was like, "Spencer and Brent", and I kinda did a double take and then laughed. Because, HAHA. Let's have that band, please. Spencer and Brent. Can you imagine?

This cracks me up so bad, If Twilight Was About Dragons. Seriously, if you need a good laugh, look no further.

I've been watching Dead Like Me season two for the first time, and it's like Grey's Anatomy in that it constantly makes me weep. Pretty much every single episode. George, ♥.

Other Things: playing a show tomorrow night. I am bored right now. It is Lamey McLamerson. Friday freakin' night. Come on, now.

More Other Things: Brendon and Spencer, hi there kids. Question: would the pictures from comic-con have been as pretty if they were of Spencer and Brent?

I wish it were my job to just sit around and write random Slytherin characters.

"Spencer, darling. A word in the sitting room?" Ginger's eyes are firm, and Spencer knows immediately that it isn't a question.

They walk slowly, the thick air tangible around Spencer, dread making his throat sticky. He waits for his mother to begin, though he readies his arguments in Brendon's defense.

Gingelania Hepzibah Smith looks at Spencer slowly, her eyes level. Spencer knows her well enough to know that she is a far cry from the calm she's exuding. "Spencer, I care about you very much. I am not going to tell you about this boy's bloodlines, because I trust you are astute enough to have discerned what my concerns would be there."

She doesn't wait for Spencer to acknowledge the words, just reaches for an arm. "In these times, Spencer, it's not just a matter of what your bloodline is. Nor does it matter that I disapprove of your relations with this boy. What matters, Spencer," here she drops her voice almost to a whisper, a hint of tone in the dead air, "is that he disapproves. And for you to do something which falls into that category is suicide."

"The question isn't what is right and what is wrong. The choice here is between life and death. I hope I haven't raised a son who's fool enough to choose wrongly based on a adolescent whim."

I wish this fic would just finish itself, though. Honestly, I want to be done with it.

Twitter brings me great morning joy:

1.

Ryan: Beat jetlag somehow, I think flight times over 24 hours it cancels out. Now to search for food and rum. The weather feels just like home.
Zack: just landed awhile ago and of course they lost my luggage i smell horrible but im in Africa so thats cool .. off to make sure Ryan finds rum

He takes care of them so good. ;)

2.

Zack: the one thing i can say good so far is at least my room didn't flood when i tried to take a shower
Spencer: My bathroom is underwater.
Zack: are you serious .. dude bdens is too.
Brendon: mine too. the lost city has been found in my bathroom

HAHAHAHA EPIC FAIL, PANIC.

3.

Jon: GET OFF THE INTERNET

Good call, Walker, however, then I'd be less amused.

Excuse me, guys, I know you all realize that Spencer Smith will be twenty one in a few short days. Thus, there is only limited time left in which to write porn where Jon and Brendon seduce younger Spencer and teach him about the wonderful world of sex and gambling and alcohol.

Okay, okay, so technically, he's been legally non-jailbait for quite a while. And techincally, he often travels to countries in which he is perfectly legal for all sorts of things, but shhh, I'm using this as an excuse to write virgin, innocent Spencer fic, so quit being hypothetical nitpickers!

I have so many comments to reply to! Soon, promise! Tomorrow, for sure, since I actually get to come home at 5:30pm.

I got my keys out of my truck and all is well, except one door is broken. We actually couldn't get it open with the jimmy set thingy, we just broke it, and then a random passer-by offered this random old Chevy key, and it miraculously opened. HOORAY. Also, sketchy.

SPENCER SMITH PLAYS 'BUT IT'S BETTER IF YOU DO', and it is WAY HOTTER THAN WHEN HE PLAYED THAT OTHER ONE THAT TIME. But, you know, that was pretty hot, too. LOOK AT HIM. It's ridiculous! ♥

I'm going to bed, but first: Top 5 Favorite Led Zeppelin Tunes, go!

Mine are as follows:

1. When the Levee Breaks
2. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
3. The Ocean
4. What Is And What Should Never Be
5. Friends

Drank lots of rum last night, am going to drink lots more tonight. I feel pretty good about it, it's awesome. I think the fact that I don't get hungover can be attributed to the fact that I only drink rum. And also, that I get up early. This morning, in fact, I got up at 6:40 and drank water and then drove home. Tonight's partyage is brought to you by fangorious_c and his coming-home-ness.

Guillermo del Toro to officially direct the Hobbit films. Awesome, it's gonna be so cool. Also, I like this step in the direction of concrete-ness. GIVE ME MY MOVIES. COME ON.

My download of The Office is going soooooooo slowly (17%), and I can't even find a whole file of Grey's Anatomy. And I'm not even gonna bother downloading Supernatural 3x13, because I'm still stuck back somewhere around 3x05. Actually, I think I'm gonna watch a few of those today and get caught up so that I can make with the squee. I've said that before, though, I'm an IDIOT. I LOVE YOU BOYS, YOU'RE STILL MY FAVORITE SHOW ON TELEVISION.

Speaking of Supernatural, I've spread it quite a ways around Mt Allison University via my bored brother. He came a few weeks ago to borrow some dvds, and I shoved season one at him. He looked at it and said it looked dumb, like it would try to hard to be scary, but I told him to take it anyway. A few days later he called me all, "yeah, so... do you have season two?" Which, yes. Yes I do. \m/ And he got his roommates all hooked, because they all lay around and watch tv shows together, so that was five more 20-23 year old guys on board, and now they're all downloading season three and recommending the show to their friends. One of them actually said to me, why haven't I heard of this show? It's so much better than most things on television right now! Yes, YES IT IS. Love it, embrace it.

Spencer Smith in Drum magazine. Lookit him, being all "real musician" and whatnot. How sexy is he?

31%. Come on, I wanna see the new Scranton shenanigans.

I feel that I should link this OTP video, which is a dude that wrote a Spencer/Jon shipper song, because, well. Jensen and Jared aaaaaaaaaaare in loooooooooove...

We fandom songwriters need to stick together.

ETA: How hilarious and awesome and badass would it be if the Panic boys covered that? BECAUSE JON WALKER SO WOULD DO IT.
