Coloring is a private act!

[foxxcub]

SO I REALLY CAN'T GET OVER THE HCT VIDEOS. LIKE, AT ALL. I kind of spazzed all over airgiodslv when I first watched them, but seriously, CRAYONS. JON IS FASCINATED WITH LOBSTERS. BRENDON LOVES 'HEY JUDE'. ZACK AS GODZILLA. SPENCER'S MEAT IS THE MOST TENDER AJ;FSDFLD. I almost cried, you guys.

What's funny is that I was just rewatching the Live 105 interview and kind of wishing they'd get asked those same questions now, a year and a half later. And lo, they were! (Although whenever they get asked questions like those, a part of my brain is always like "dude, you don't know what their previous jobs were? HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED THE LIVE 105 INTERVIEW?" And then I realize that, yeah, not everyone is as, um, ~invested as I am) I think it's interesting that Jon doesn't automatically say Starbucks as his previous profession anymore--which, now his answer makes him sound even more like some slacker college kid who couldn't get his shit together. C'mon, JWalk, just say Starbucks and photographing/teching for your BFF's band and be done with it. Don't sell yourself short! If Ryan still owns up to cleaning dog shit, you can claim Starbucks.

But mostly, I'd really like to know if Spencer still loves Forever 21 best.

I'd really appreciate it if you would get out of my brain because I was just about to post about this.

I have the same reaction whenever someone asks about their jobs before the band. When Jon was talking, I just figured he was giving us more canon to work with. He said he sold computers, right? Jon works at the Apple Store AU! ♥

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking those were probably jobs he had in between tours? Because he was basically touring since right of high school, I think. So yeah, that would make it difficult to keep a job for very long.

YYYY JON WORKS AT THE GENIUS BAR. HE FEELS LIKE A GIANT TOOL, TOO. :D

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

He does! Brendon works there too, because he really is a genius. They both spend their time away from the genius bar walking around, setting all of the iPods to kick ass music for the customers to listen to.

Spencer comes in with a computer emergency. He knows his friend Brendon works there and he needs his help! But it's Brendon's day off so Jon has to help him. Spencer is worried because Jon doesn't look like he knows what he's doing and his computer is his life. If Jon breaks anything, Spencer will fuck him up. Jon senses this and even though he's pretty scared, a part of him thinks that he wouldn't particularly mind being fucked up by Spencer. The Apple gods are feeling generous though and they give Jon the strength and brain power he needs to fix Spencer's computer.

Then some other stuff happens and somehow Spencer and Jon end up having sex. Or getting coffee. Whatever.

HI I LOVE YOU.

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

Hi! I love you too.

*tacklehugs*

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

UGH, HAVE MY BABIES.

So Spencer takes his MacBook home and sits and stares it until his roommate Ryan comes in and is like, "Why are you staring at it? You just fixed it." And Spencer's all, "I...think there's something else wrong. I need to go back tomorrow." He takes it back in the next day and finds Jon and says there's something wonky with the...thing...in the thing, and can he fix it? And when, you know, does he get off for lunch?

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

Gladly.

Yes! OMG, yes! Only when he does take it in, Brendon's there and he tries to help. Jon gives him the, "Dude, I got this" face, but Brendon can't decipher it. Jon has to resort to kicking Brendon in the shin (behind the bar, where Spencer can't see) and insisting that he knows how to fix wonky thingamabobs. Wonky thingamabobs are his specialty.

Brendon finally gets it and his eyes go a little wide. He leaves Jon and Spencer to flirt over perfectly healthy computers while he goes off to build a rocket ship with a pile of broken iPods.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

GAH, WHY DO YOU MAKE ME WANT TO WRITE THIS?

And then Spencer leaves said perfectly healthy computer at the store, and the next day something comes up and he can't pick it up, so he sends Ryan (although Spencer may or may not call ahead to make sure Jon's off today). Ryan stops by, sees the iPod rocket ship sitting in the corner, and wonders what the hell his best friend has gotten into. Then Brendon pops up, and Ryan's like, "Um. You have a rocket made out of iPod Nanos." And Brendon's like, "Dude, yes, and here," and he hands him an earbud attached to it. "It plays Bob Marley!"

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE YOU ARE AN AMAZING WRITER AND I KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE A KICK ASS FIC OUT OF THIS?

Big Bang is over! What better way to recuperate than to write more fic? It doesn't have to be long, silly goose. Please?!?!?

Bob Marley! Ugh, and Ryan is confused but oh so intrigued. Aleesha, you really have to write this now. You KNOW you want to.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE AN EVIL ENABLER, FTR.

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

I KNOW THIS! I REALLY DO!

WRITE IT!

I have to leave now but I will continue to pester you. For serious.

[carnilia.livejournal.com]

PILE OF BROKEN IPODS.

I thought I was going to be able to refrain from butting in to this thread, but then you just HAD TO GO THERE. ♥

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

See? It needs to be written!!!

[carnilia.livejournal.com]

You will get nothing from me but fervent agreement!

[brandixcyanide.livejournal.com]

wait. this is panic fic, right? you mean coffee isn't a euphamism for sex around here?

[wordsalone.livejournal.com]

*giggles madly*

Very true.

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

THE WAY BRENDON KEEPS SWITCHING WHAT INSTRUMENT HE WANTS TO PLAY! AIR DRUMS! AIR BASS!

We had the worst time at the NY show trying to come up with questions we hadn't already heard the answer to. I honestly think they're bored, and that's why we get such ridiculousness from them; Spencer, at least, is just trying to see what he can get away with saying.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

HE IS SO IN LOVE WITH MUSIC, UGH UGH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HE CONTINUES TO BE SO PRECIOUS.

Hence the reason I resorted to dinosaurs! (God help me if they ever get the questions about weird fan questions, and they're like "oh, there was this girl in Chicago who kept saying a pterodactyl isn't a proper dinosaur...")

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

There was also the part where Jon stares at the lobster and goes "....How does it have SO MANY LEGS????" and I shrieked to myself "HOW SO STONED, JON WALKER?"

But then I forgot all about that because Brendon had that adorable ADHD moment and freaked out on the couch, and sometimes you can really, really see how he'd be an annoying kid to hang around with if he were just some guy you knew and then -- and this might just be me -- I think about his BAND AND HOW MUCH THEY LOVE HIM, and then I want to doodle all their names with sparkly pink pen everywhere.

I love your dinosaur question SO MUCH. It brings me endless glee.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

AHAHA YES. In my head, he and Spencer smoked up before the Lobster joint, which lead to Spencer writing "TIL WE WERE MOIST" on that mat thing like he's 12 and Jon being endlessly fascinated with the anatomy of lobsters. THEY ARE RIDICULOUS LITTLE HIPPIES, RACHEL, AND I LOVE THEM.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_lolapalooza/]

I literally shrieked "THEY'RE ALL LOBSTERSSSSS. THEY WALK AROUND IN THEIR TANK HOLDING CLAWSSSSS" at my computer like thats something a sane person would ever think or say.

So I think I understand your feeling of being super invested. /o\

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

THEY ARE MATES FOR LIFE. I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS IS NOT A SANE ASSUMPTION.

[cobraliciousomg.livejournal.com]

freeform pirate radion reigns - BRENDON WAS NOT PLEASED WITH THE RHYME SCHEME, AT ALL!

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

LOL I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO WROTE THAT.

[cobraliciousomg.livejournal.com]

RYAN TOTALLY WROTE 'REMAINS THE SAME' B/C HE IS A TOOL LIKE THAT.
mwahaha, i really want 'freeform pirate radio' to be Spencer :DD

PEE. ESS. Eric's reading voice = HILARITY!

[highschoolhussy.livejournal.com]

AGGGHHH PRECIOUS TINY BOOOYYYYSSS. I want to introduce JWAlk to my BFF, who could actually give an informed answer about lobster legs. Ugh, and Brendon you are my favorite and remind me way too much of one of my friends from high school who everyone thought was completely annoying but who I loved dearly.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Dude, I totally geek out to music like that ALL THE TIME. *hugs Brendon's stupid precious face*

[insunshine.livejournal.com]

Wait, he doesn't say Starbucks anymore? What does he say?

o.O

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

He just says he "made coffee" and also did other random jobs, like sell computers.

[insunshine.livejournal.com]

For some reason that makes me inexplicably sad in my soul.

Oh man, Jon Walker, computer seller!

I sometimes (see: mostly) want to attack him with my face.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I know, right? ;__; JON, DON'T FORSAKE YOUR STARBUCKS LEGACY.

The amount of times I want to attack him with my face is unhealthy.

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

I am ALWAYS like that, even when I was a wee non-porn-reading HP fangirl I was going ARE YOU SERIOUS with that question? Like she hasn't answered it six billion times?

ZACK IS MY FAVORITE. Dude. The rules about coloring! Godzilla! Noticing the fangirls circling the block! Tucking in Spencer's tags (or...something to do with the back of Spencer's neck, WHAT MORE CAN ONE ASK FOR?) (fixing his wires, maybe?)

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, NON-PURIST FANGIRLS ANNOY US. /o\

At first I thought Zack was tying his headband, which would make me go afkdfgkdl and make heart eyes. But I think he's fixing his microphone wires.

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Ryan has to tie Spencer's headband! He has skills.

[meinnim.livejournal.com]

SPENCER IS TENDER! THAT RHYMES!

JWalk, you are still awesome, even with the glossing over Starbucks.

I love you guys for Apple store AU below. More please?

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

IT DOES RHYME. I'M THINKING THAT HAD A LOT TO DO WITH JON'S CHOICE, Y/N?

[carnilia.livejournal.com]

Oh, Live 105 interview! ♥

I had that exact same reaction. I was sitting next to a friend of mine, staring at my computer, iPod earbuds trailing from the laptop to my ears, and exclaiming, "WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT QUESTION! JESUS! ASK THEM SOMETHING WE DON'T ALREADY KNOW, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?"

I flailed around like a madwoman, though. Lobsters have so many legs! Crayon-time is private-time! Zack is not fooled by circling the block! Oh, man. :D

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Man, when Zack's talking about the fans circling the block, I was like "...that would probably be me, too. /o\"

[strongplacebo.livejournal.com]

Those videos, my heart!

However, I think if people are invested enough to be asking questions, they should at least know the answers to the obvious ones.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

IAWTC. *nods emphatically*

[amy13.livejournal.com]

Jwalk! Stoned and baffled by lobsters!! ;)

So fun - BOYS!

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

SO MANY LEGS, HE CAN'T DEAL.

[holycloud.livejournal.com]

I almost die when he said about Spencer's tender meat.

[dunderpate.livejournal.com]

Oh. Ryan Ross. Why, Ryan Ross?

Question: What's the biggest hardship you have to overcome to be successful?
Ryan Ross: Touring in a van for nine months...

Uh, nine months? That's like a nanosecond of time in a life on the road. Nine months. Some bands tour in vans for NINE YEARS before they get the kind of recognition that elevates them to bus status. Hell, I'VE spent longer in the car on family vacaitions back in the day. Ok, not really but it sure FELT like it was an enternity (esp when your brother consistently vomits up his breakfast as soon as the car approaches Keanu Reeves-ian levels of velocity out on the open road).

In conclusion: nice try, Ryan Ross.
