the northern downpour sends its love.

[my icon, you guys. i miss makeup!panic, sigh!]

ok, so first of all, i am not on strike. clearly. because i am a spammy bitch, first of all, and one with no life who NEEDS her flist, dammit. also because i think it's pointless. if people are upset and want to take action, more power to them, but mostly i'm rolling my eyes at the whole thing. i'm so sorry (but not really). [see what i did there?]

moving on! so, i am officially a new york resident (10 months after i moved here, oops!). i finally got my license changed today. i felt vaguely sad surrendering my florida license. it seemed so final, somehow. i still don't really feel like i live in new york - probably because i have no real life here. idk. (i'm much less maudlin than that sounds.)

i owe people comment responses like whoa. they will come tomorrow. be excited!

IN VERY IMPORTANT NEWS: i have officially decided that "northern downpour" is my favorite song off of pretty. odd., which i'm sure you are all very relieved to know. it does things to my heart, you guys. endless amounts of ♥_♥ for the whole album, srsly, but that song... *hands*

speaking of which - i've seen a lot of people who are all "OMG NO SPOILERZ" re: the album, and i guess...i don't know. i can understand to some degree not wanting to listen until it's actually released (i myself am of the "but what if i get hit by a bus tomorrow?" school of thought), but...what constitutes a spoiler for music? lyrics? saying "i love brendon's voice on such-and-such"? or...? i just. i find it confusing? i can understand with movies or tv or books or, like, anything with a linear narrative, but music is...i mean, hearing someone talk about a song doesn't begin to "spoil" it for me, because music to me is SO much more subjective and, like, fluid i guess? this is a very rambly paragraph that probably doesn't make much sense, but the whole thing doesn't make sense to me so i suppose that's appropriate.

a related, less meandering question: have the liner notes for pretty. odd. been posted anywhere? does anyone physically have the album already?

i think i'm tired. i have a lot of thoughts floating around in my head that i want to post, but i can't seem to formulate anything terribly coherent, boo.

this is cute.


this is the best ever.


this is brendon urie and i enjoy him very much.


this is the end of this entry. XD

I'm tired, so basically all I have to say is ICON. ^_______^ From the best picture ever. Also, I still hate you, two icons now. :|

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

IDOL IS CRACK! just accept it, bb! xD

UGH JASON CASTRO, YOUR SKIN IS SO PERFECT! ALONG WITH YOUR EYES AND YOUR TEEEETH.

I ALSO do not get "spoilers" for music. Reading someone else's thoughts about music doesn't give ANYthing away. Even if maybe someone posts lyrics, who fuckin cares? It's going to be a completely different experience listening to them being sung with music played than it is reading them on the damn internet. People are spazes. Spazzes? W/e, you get me.

PS: I know you loooooves him, but I cannot get over David Cook's hair. I hate it SO MUCH. Also, every time you write DCook, I think "Dane Cook" (idk why, I am not like a fan of his!) and get a little squicked out! o_O

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

jcas is too pretty to be allowed, for serious.

it's so weird to me; people are always going on about david's hair being so awful, and like...i don't even notice his hair, really? like, i don't think he has super awesome hair, but i don't think it's terrible, either. it just...looks like hair to me? maybe my love for panic at the disco has made me immune to bad hair, idk!

but ack, no dane cook! actually, some friends of david run a fansite for him and they have a list of 101 reasons to vote for him and one is that he has no affiliation whatsoever with dane cook, heh.

[thecowboycliche.livejournal.com]

LOL i'm glad i'm not the only one who doesn't want to participate in this strike.

I think it's so funny that we both like David so much... we don't usually have the same taste in men LOL. Than again we both like Blake.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

apparently AI is the great taste-in-dudes equalizer or something? XD

I'm not on strike, bb! FUCK THE STRIKE!

It's so weird because even though I loved every song, when I first listened to the album Northern Downpour wasn't doing anything special for me. However, two nights ago I had the album playing in the background and something happened. idk what, but now it's my favorite, too.

Yeah, a few people have hard copies. I don't think linear notes have been posted, but someone typed up the lyrics over on patd and posted pictures of the some stuff in the booklet.

Also, FUCK SPOILERS! My good friend said to me on the phone the other day "There is a certain pace at which the world moves. Either keep up or shut up!" and I couldn't agree more. The second the guys APPROVED a leak on MTV, that became the official release date for me.

Let me also say that the majority of the people who are ~waiting are obnoxious. Definitely not ALL of them, but a lot seem to think that there is some kind of special prize for will power. There sure is. The prize is that by the time you get around to listening and want to squee we're all going to have moved on. Congrats.

OMG, how is it not Vegas time yet?

I would c&p all the parts of this comment I love but it would be a really large chunk. Basically, ITAWTC from "Also" to "Congrats." ♥

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]
