asimplechord: (i love you)
[personal profile] asimplechord
Seems like life sucks for a lot of my f-list right now. Money woes, work woes, personal woes, all kinds of woes.

I love you all, and even if we're only passingly acquainted, I hope I can make your day better, even if it's just a little bit of a smile to interrupt your frown.

So comment here, and I'll tell you something about you that makes me happy, makes me smile.

(Also! I just got home and didn't get a chance to read the entire email you sent me earlier but I read the beginning & made a happy high-pitched noise of glee! You are the bestest!)

Are you on [livejournal.com profile] lickingbeads's f-list? I wrote a second part on the train ride to my car, but I think her LJ is friends locked. I'll send it to you.


YOU MAKE ME SMILE PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY. You encourage me and lift me up, and sympathize when I'm down, and I have NO IDEA how I got through a week without you before I met you online.

You should send it to me, yes! But I should also possibly friend her, lol.

Awwww, thank you! Idk how I got along without you either! My life is so much better just knowing you're just a txt/email away. And you encourage my craziness, lol, and bring out the best in me. <3

Done.

(Also. I might've booked a ticket to NYC for 29Oct-1Nov. :D? It's the last weekend before the new year that I can travel by myself, it looks like.)

I can't even. I know I don't *comment* that often, but I always read your posts and your tweets, and how did you get this awesome. From HP to MCR, I love where your brain takes you and me. And all of us.


(THEY BETTER TOUR SOON. I HAVE VACATION DAYS AND SICK DAYS AND I WANT TO ROCK OUT WITH BANDOM PPL IRL AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND.)

You are pretty good for a girl. Just sayin'. :DDDDD (I meant to talk to you re: Z Berg, but her interview made me so angry all I could do was try not to let steam escape from my ears, and now I'm just too disgusted with her to care.)

Also. You can have Tim Convy if I can have P'mo.

You can definitely have P'mo. TIM CONVY WILL BE ALLLL MIIIIIINE. And we can hide Tim Ferrell in the closet. Because I swear to God he's a zombie. He wants to eat my brains.

Oh, duuuuude, Z Berg. That interview!!!! I just. I don't even know what she was thinking. I'm still working on an actual well-thought-out response to it. Look like whores? Really? Really?!

Dear Z Berg:
Do you realize what a hypocrite you are? Yeah, I didn't think so. Go back to hanging on your dad's (or Ryan Ross's) coat-tails.
No love,
Me

Tangentially related: Are you going to Fitzgerald's to see Without A Face & State and Madison?

Also, dear Tommy & The High Pilots: COME BACK SOON. NOW.

(Volpe can get stuffed into the closet with Ferrell. He creeps me out when he's not pretending to be Go-getter Greg.)

16October.

YES, although I can't find a concrete date and venue yet. I am very excited about this.

I probably won't go to the Without a Face show, although it depends on how I feel that day. Put me down as a definite maybe, hahaha.

And, just so I don't clog up your comments page/inbox, I will reply to the Volpe thread here. I'm just curious, because I'm not sure that I have fourth wall issues so much as, like, awkwardness issues (see also: my unfortunate interaction with Vicky T and her rack hair), but is Volpe different from other band dudes in a quantifiable way that somehow strikes your fourth wall issues? I've only talked to him once, when I had him sign the pillowcase with his face on it. So I think that interaction was pretty much destined to be creepy and thus I have no basis for comparison.

I'm okay with awkward, but of all the band dudes I've met after shows, especially shows where the band deliberately came out to the bar after the show, he's the one who most clearly (to me, so maybe this is just skewed by my perception) differentiated himself from his stage persona simply by his behavior. Maybe it was just that the first time I did so, I caught him on an off night, when he just didn't want to deal with ppl, but that really made an impression on me and it colors my impression and subsequent interactions with him.

IDK, I've met some other bands, and with a few notable exceptions, I usually feel more comfortable with a solid wall between me as a fan and them as a performer. Sign my CD or set-list if you would, pls, be polite, but that's it, kthnxbai. And this is not just band-related. I went to Fangoria a couple of years ago and some friends had an extra pass for a photo op with Jared Padalecki, and I just did not want to meet him. Did not want to blur the real life impression of him with my "fanon" impression of him and his Sam Winchester persona.

I can definitely see that. I think he would frighten me (by which I mean actually make me nervous/anxious) if I caught him on an off night when he didn't want to deal with people. Because his onstage/lyrical personality is such a hilarious creeper kinda dude and having him be standoffish or something would be weird and off-putting.

And I get you on the having a wall between you as a fan and them as a performer. For me, I find it depends on the person. Not that I've ever had many interactions that wouldn't qualify as fan/performer (with the exception of LynZ and maybe the drummer for Girl in a Coma). It's especially awkward for me if I am in any way sexually attracted to the performer that I'm meeting. That shit is awful for me. I can't even handle it. I basically act stupid and then run away. So I like to avoid that, generally speaking...

i often think volpe just doesn't want to interact with fans at all. he's kind of polite and grateful, but he usually seems really... meh. like, katie and i were talking about how this was the first tour in a long time where he actually seemed like he wanted to be on stage.
o___o


but i agree with the fourth wall. i need it in my life, for my sanity.

He definitely was more into it this time than the other times I've seen him. Into it enough to tell the people talking at the back to GTFO and get a drink elsewhere if they were just there to drink and socialize.

YOUR OPINIONS ON ANDREW VOLPE ARE WRONG AND YOU SHOULD FEEL WRONG!!!!

Haha. Apparently I have strong positive feelings about Volpe? I kinda wanna do him almost as much as Convy...

I'm okay when he's on stage and in his stage persona. But DNW in person. My fourth wall issues, let me show you them.

:( Your devotion to your f-list and to HP fandom are pretty legendary. I love your stories and comments about your hats. And I know that jobs are tight everywhere right now, but I have faith that something will come up for you.

Your devotion to the local music scene and your openness are the first two things I think of when I see your name. You look very clearly at your surroundings, and don't hesitate to say when something is working or not working for you, which a lot of people (like me) don't do; we are too often ostriches.

*looks up from double onslaught of concurrent semesters* I make you smile? At all? *laughs* That right there made my day. No need to comment - just wanted to say that this post is pretty awesome. *waves*

I know I don't comment, but I read your posts. IDK, there's usually something inspirational about them, even if it's simply an oblique reminder to take my coffee out on the porch and enjoy the quiet of the morning before diving into the day.

You make me smile because you like what you like, and there are no excuses. Here you are, and that's how it is. In the time I've known you, I know life's had it's ups and downs, but you keep on truckin', and enjoying the things you *can* while you deal with what you can't.

Thank you! That made me smile a lot when I read it. I am going to do this on my journal as well because it is a great idea.
