FredAstaire.OH.MY.'s Journal

I just went out to my mailbox and I saw that I recieved my new issue of AP. Upon pulling it out, I saw that Panic! At The Disco was on the cover. I get a real sexy subscriber-only cover(HA!).
I just finished flipping through it and my heart almost stopped when I saw a picture of Pete Wentz that was absolutely sexy.
There's also an interview with Justin Sane.
Score!
And now, as I write, I stare longingly at my magazine resisting the urge to rip it open and begin reading it.


Oh, I plan on updating We're All Mad Here and You've Got A Lot Of Nerve later on this week.

My dad and I finally set up his digital camera. That's why the picture of Ralph and I are up there.
Now I have to teach him(my dad, not my dog) how to use the camera. He's pretty unknowing when it comes to technology.
So, yeah, I'm kinda obsessing over Conor Oberst right now. He's cute.
Will someone write me a Conor Oberst one shot?
I'll write you a one shot on anyone you want back.
Yesterday I bought New Found Glory's From the Screen to your Stereo Part II. It's a pretty rad CD. My fave covers are "Don't You(Forget About Me)" and "The King Of Wishful Thinking". I especially love the latter because Patrick Stumph's and Jordan Pundik's voices blend so well together.
I updated We're All Mad Here this morning(after having a breakfast of chocolate chip cookies and sprinkled donuts). I might update You've Got a Lot of Nerve later on today or sometime this weekend.
It depends on how busy I am.

The future freaks me out.

I finally found a picture of Matt from The Matches smiling.

He's the one in the middle with the glasses and blue shirt.
He has the cutest smile that I've ever seen.
I had never seen him smile before today. I used to think that he was a robot incapable of human emotion.
Domo oragato Mr.Roboto!
Ha ha.
I have the introduction to We're All Mad Here posted. I'll probably post chapter one later on this week.

I am absolutely in love with him. Even though he's older than my mom.
He's sexy and has an adorable accent.
Last night an ice storm hit and our power went out. It was pretty sucky, but at least we had a small generator to run a light so we could see.
And we had a woodburner so we didn't freeze our butts off.
I've got a headache and I don't know why.
=(
I think I might try to write something.

So, I've decided to release some information on my Panic! story that I've been keeping under wraps.
The story will be called We're All Mad Here and will basically be about this girl that gets sucked into a modern-day Wonderland and meets the memebers of Panic! there, except, that they're not the members of Panic!.
Sorry the summary sucks, but I don't want to giev away too much about the story.
I'm not quite sure how many chapters there will be yet, since I haven't completely finished writing my story.
Expect the first chapter soon.

Claudio Sanchez is, like, the coolest guy ever. His hair is what drew me to him and his wicked awesome voice. It sounds like the guy from Rush's voice, but it's so much better.
I shoot, you run.
I gotta buy the new Coheed CD. I haven't gotten it yet.
The words you scribbled on the walls.
Anyways, I have been working on some stuff and hope to have it up sometime in the near future. I just need time to get it up. I've also finished the Zac Farro story and I really want to get the last parts of that out really soon.
The loss of friends you didn't have.
I think I'll go make a sandwich now.Yum.
Bye bye beautiful.

I bet 98% of the people on here doesn't know what that means when it refers to a car.
That's why I will tell you.
After you prime a car that you are restoring, you need to run over it with blocking tools that are covered with sandpaper to bring down the high spots and make it all even.
Once that is done, you will prime it again and then block it again before priming it again and then scuff it.
Scuffing makes it possible for the paint to stay on the car.
The whole process takes about a week to two weeks.
Blocking the car so much will make the paint job perfect.
Why would I tell you this?
Because it is the reason why I won't be updating too much for a while.
I started blocking the 1964(I think) Mercury Comet S-22 that's been waiting to be blocked for, like, a year now.
I'm on the very first blocking and it took me four hours to get just one side of the car done.
So, I've still got a little while more to work on it and since I'll be busy with that, I won't be able to update much.
I am working on stories though=]

I just heard a proper version of "When The Day Met The Night" and I started to cry a little. The song is amazingly beautiful and is now my fave Panic! song of all-time(Sorry "Camisado"). I can't wait for Pretty.Odd. to come out.
Not much has went on today. I watched A League Of Their Own, watched a show on freakashows and talked to my dad's friend who is now living in our garage.
All in all, an uneventful day.
I have been trying to work on my stories. Things are progressing pretty well with the Panic! one.

We're all mad here.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been feeling weird lately. I get this weird feeling in my stomach and my head starts to hurt for no reason. I have no clue what that could be all about. I wish that someone could tell me.

Earlier I happened to stumble upon some old World War Two military records on the Internet and decided to look and see if my grandpa was on there. He was. Once I saw his records I started tearing up and almost began crying. I guess it was because I miss him terribly. He passed away almost four years ago and I still don't think that I'm over it. And I know for certain that I'm definitely not over my grandmother's death. I miss her so much. She is my hero.

I've been trying to write and I've came up with some wonderful stuff. I've got an Adam Lazzara story that I'm working on and a Panic! one that shall remain top secret for right now. I don't want anyone stealing my idea and a lot of the times when I talk about my stories, they end up getting jinxed. It's a really odd story and it is seriously the best thing that I have ever written. I won't be posting it until it's completely done. I will reveal one thing about the story though: It is inspired by one of my favorite books of all-time.

Something that has caught my interest lately has been the mafia. I don't know why, but there's something appealing about it. I might try a mafia story and see if it'll work out.

'Til next time...

Doesn't Brendon look soooo cute?
This is a still from their new video for "Nine In The Afternoon".
The whole video seems like it'll be weird.
But in the good way.
Ryan just looks plain weird though.
I've spent the last few days obsessing over a manga series called One Piece.
Ever hear of it?
It's completely awesome.
=]
For some strange reason, I want to go outside and stand in the rain.
Weird much?

Anti-Flag one of the best punk bands ever.
Second to only NOFX.
I don't know why, but I've been listening to a lot of punk rock lately.
It's really good.
Esp. bands like the two mentioned above, Propaghandi and Against Me!.
That guy that looks like the guy from the Spill Canvas is at my house right now.
He's helping my dad's friend unload my dad's trailer.
I think that they're leaving now though.
If you could get snowed in anywhere with anyone, who would you want to get snowed in with?

Yesterday was Fat Mike of NOFX's birthday.
I realized that while listening to the NOFX song "Seeing Double At The Triple Rock".
He turned 41.
Fat Mike is the awesomest thing since sliced bread. He and his band have madea huge impact on the punk rock world.
And if I'd get snowed in anywhere, I'd love to be snowed in with him.
It would just be so interesting to talk to him.

Who doesn't love Sisky Business?
Crazy people, that's who.
Sorry I haven't updated this journal in so long. I kinda forgot about it.
I've had this unsatiable appetite for The Academy Is... recently. I love thier music.
It's radtastic.
I've been working on all of my stories and I'm thinking of starting another.
I'm not sure if it should be about Sisky or Mike Carden.
Any suggestions?
I'd liek to hear 'em.
=]

I abolustely love Geoff.
He's an amazing lyricist and singer.
I watched the Kill The Lights DVD last night and I have soooo much more respect for him and his band (which is Thursday if you didn't know.)
I can't wait for his band to put out their new disc.
In the meantime, I will throughly enjoy the song "Ladies and Gentlemen: My Brother, The Failure" (and it's toally radtastic video).



Substance over style.

But I still kinda think he's cool (and kinda cute, except, he's not cute when he's all drugged up).
Who am I talking about?
Pete Doherty
He's a complete ass and a total druggie, but I can't help but feel sorry for the guy and kinda like him.
Why?
I have no clue.
Maybe it's 'cause he's British and has that adorable accent.

Panic! At The Disco is headlining the Honda Civic Tour!
And they're supposed to be bringing Motion City Soundtrack with them.
You don't know how stoked I am right now.
I'm definitely getting tickets as soon as they go on sale.
In other news, I've got an Anthony Green one shot written and now I just need to post it.
The new disc from his band is effing awesome and probably the best thing that I ever heard.
Go listen to "Living Together" and "Kicking Your Crosses Down" to find out why.
I love Justin Pierre and his crazy hair.
Don't you?

It's shmexy.

Yeah. He's on the cover of the new issue of Cosmo Girl!. My mom just got it for me.
I was gonna post a pic of the cover, but I can't find one.
He looks decent, but it's obvious that he needs a haircut.
I haven't read the article yet. I'll do that later.
I've started a new vampire story based on the "ALLSC,ALMTM" music video.
I really am in love with it and I've already typed up the first chapter.
I'll post it once I come up with a name for my story.

Case in point, Michael Guy Chislett, guitarist of The Academy Is....
He is absolutely gorgeous.
He makes me smile.
=]
I think I might go write a story with him in the starring role.

I just finished reading the first book in the Twilight series.
I absolutely loved it.
I read it all in like five hours. I was unable to put it down.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas.
I did.
I updated the Zac story today. I updated it 'cause everyone really likes it.
I think I'm gonna go listen to some Head Automatica (or maybe Saves The Day or Brand New. I don't really know for sure.) right now and start writing something new.

Isn't that the cutest thing ever?
William looks so great!
