Slow day at work today. Slooooooow. Happy Girl, the co-worker I'm in most contact with, and I were all excited when we received our stationary order this morning - stationary makes me happy, I have no idea why - but apart from that, nothing exciting at all. Plus, we just realised that Boss Man won't be here at all so, you know, when the cat's away, Teh Mouse updates her LJ :-)

Many flisters have been gleefully reporting about the PATD concert last night and I'm feeling the first stage of Interest for Something New. Obviously I know about PATD, I have read some fics with them and I happen to have their two albums on my HD - crazybutsound's doing - but I'm now interested in seeing more of them. So let's say you wanted to pimp the boys to someone, what would you link them to? Stage performance, video clips, Days In the Lives and whatnot. Pimp me?

Before I forget, the other day in a comment - and of course I forgot whose LJ it was, sorry! - I mentioned a campaign we're seeing at the moment in France to encourage people to get tested before they start having sex without a condom. They have a couple of versions and I found the one I was talking about, ie the m/m one. Just scroll down a bit till you see the DailyMotion video.

The text goes like this, roughly because I don't necessarily remember all the nth :"The first look. The first kiss. The first time. The second time. The third. the fourth. The sixth. The tenth. The twentieth. The forty-sixth. The test." They're both negative and the voice over keeps on counting "the forty-seventh, the fiftieth..." It's the same text for the different ads, in case you were wondering, and I just love the way it's done. The way it's told.

Apart from that, RL hasn't been kind to a couple of my friends the past few days and it's always upsetting when your friends are hurting. Especially when you can't really do a thing. That's life, as they say, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

I am posting Panic fic today! I'm just saying.

Okay, immediate thoughts, watch the Abbey Road stuff that just came out. The second one, look at 7:50, Spencer jabs himself in the nose with his stick and Ryan cracks up so bad. They're canon BFF ♥

Links go to youtube.

Part One

Part 2

I saw that! So, the question I have to ask now; do you have an AM in that particular band?

And someone on my flist linked to the Abbey Road the other day and mentioned the jabbing-himself and the laughing thing and I thought it was too cute for words; so that's a nice link, sis, thanks :-)

Also, you're a star for pointing out the exact time, that's what I can perfect intel!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You know, I really don't. I don't even have a stand out favourite which is so weird. Though if forced it would come down to between Brendon and Ryan.

Hee! I like to be exact, or if I'm truthful, I've sat and laughed at that moment so many times I may know it off by heart now.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Brendon and Ryan? Ok. And do we find many bottom!Spencer in that fandom? Do they all take turns? Are Brendon and Ryan the bottom in the fandom? You know, the usual questions...

That's just a very cute and funny moment; just love the whole 'ow dude, I just stabbed myself! But it's okay I'll keep on playing' and Ryan laughing his ass off, hee so cute! &hearts

Hey, I actually understood that ad! And I like it. It's very progressive. They should do something like that in Germany.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Go you for understanding the ad!

I didn't see as that progressive per se, but I guess it is, yeah. In any case, it's a sexy and sweet and lovely add; be it the m/m or the f/m version :-)

[luthien82]

For me it's progressive because they make people aware to get tested before having unprotected sex. That it's a normal thing to do and not that you don't trust your partner. It's your body, after all, and if you don't have anything to hide you can do a test like that and nothing speaks against unprotected sex then.

Yeah, that's why I think it's progressive. Around here, people always look weird or affronted when I say I won't sleep with my partner without a condom unless we've both been testet. If you love someone, you can go with condoms for a few months until you have the results. Yeah... *heh*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*nods* I see why, ok, thanks for the explanation :-)

I guess I'm just used to that kind of campaign and that kind of reasoning, which is why I didn't see as particular progressive per se.

All of your basic early PATD facts (when they were still P!ATD) can be found in this very comprehensive primer (http://addictedkitten.livejournal.com/104779.html). Except, of course, Brendon and Ryan are not OTP. They have personalities which would Not Allow For It. Brendon and Jon Walker, however... Also, since Spencer and Ryan have been best friends since they were TINY they make sense.

Also, Jon Walker set up a Myspace account for his CATS (Dylan and Clover). OMG JON WALKER.

\o/

Oh, thanks for the link!

Didnd't Alicia and Mikey set up a Myspace account for Bunny too? Dude, those guys!

Also! Since thinking of patd, I've been meaning to re-read one of yours, I don't remember anything except it was insanely hot and had some of my favourite kinks. Could you link me to your patd slash, please? Thanks!

[velvetjinx.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, apparently Hemmingway (Pete's dog) and Hobo (Ryan Ross's dog) have myspaces too. Those boys, I swear.

Oh! Of course. The Usual Plus (http://velvetjinx.livejournal.com/69414.html)? I'm totally going to get round to writing the Ryan/Spencer companion to this soon. I swear.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol They all crack me up, seriously.

And that's the fic! Thanks :-)
