Oh hay, I'm alive.
Imagine that! :D

This past month or so has basically been kicking my ass. Finding a job is very difficult, flist. D: Especially when you have no work experience and go to school full-time. DDDDD: I think I finally may have managed to find something after months of looking and jfc I hope it works out *crosses fingers*

Other than that, IDK. I'm taking an intro to filmmaking class this semester for elective credits, which I was really excited about, because the Professor is awesome and the syllabus is awesome and it just seemed awesome, but everyone else in the class are pretty epic failboats and we have to work together on all film projects. :///// One of the guys there is either IRL trolling me or actualfax harrasing me, I can't rly tell, but he makes me ridic uncomfortable. And the people I'm in a group with... uhm. We had to pitch our screenplay ideas today and the one we ultimately decided on (AKA the one everyone else loved while I DDDDDDD:'d a lot) is about this epic douchebag whose GF dumps him, so he decides to test all his future dates by freaking them out and being an epic asshole on dates to see if they'll roll with it. One of those dates include him ordering for the girl at a restaurant, and telling her not to worry her "pretty little head" about what he ordered (he got himself a steak and her a salad). I think I managed to talk them out of that one, but idek. The sad part is that the only reason we'll probably drop that scene is because of the logistics involved (getting waivers from everyone in the restaurant, getting a restaurant, etc.) and not because, y'know. The epic misogyny. Basically, it's going to be an examination of the dudebro condition. I can't wait. :(((((

I did learn from film, though, that the Director of Photography is usually called the DP. Get it? DP? :D? :D?

Y, I am secretly 12. Why do you ask? /o\

In fannish news, I hear those Young Veins fellows are putting out a little record or something? IDK how I really feel about The Other Girl. I mean, I like the tune, and I love Ryan's ridiculous little voice (and his suit, which according to Mark Ronson is very stylish!) but the lyrics are... Well. What we've heard so far, though, and what I've heard about the listening party, makes me rly hopeful about the rest of the record. So, :D!

Ryan's interview with JMont (and JMont's purplest of prose) rly made me so so happy though, flist. He's spooky! And mysterious! But he just wants to be funny. :(((( And the sentence "To a lot of Panic! fans, Ross is a spook story — the dark yin to Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith's bright and shiny yang. " is possibly the greatest sentence ever written in the history of the English language. Bright and shiny yang!

Also, I would read so much fic based on this:

"Me and Jon [Walker] sang it facing each other, playing acoustic," he said, describing the recording process of "Heart of Mine.

It reminded me of the stories of bb!Lennon/McCartney's writing process (somewhere, Ryan Rossy just came and he doesn't know why). They used to sit across from each other on opposite beds with guitars in their laps and write back and forth. Seriously, I just want all the ridic fic about Ryan and Jon writing music together.

Ficwise, I know some people weren't satisfied with it but from what I read so far (and I haven't read a lot) bandom_hc has been very very good to me. arsenicjade, marksykins, and fictionalaspect's fic were fantastic, and I loved a few more I can't remember right now because it's 2 AM, wtf. D:

How've you been, flist?

ETA: Brendon: Still ridiculous. In other news, Brendon: still my favorite. But seriously, he stays home carving pumpkins on a Friday night. And he's so proud of his pumpkin! :DDDDDD
