A not dial-up safe spam of the birthday boy [19 May 2008|02:35am] riorhapsody [ mood | peaceful ] [ music | The Raconteurs "The Switch and the Spur" ] Guess whose birthday it is? ( I'll give you a hint. His name starts with T and ends with homas Alfred Conrad ) |7| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

Anyone who lists the Notebook as one of their favorite books is gay [16 May 2008|02:58am] riorhapsody [ mood | awake ] [ music | The Used "The Bird and the Worm" ] I told you I always updated more when I'm home. ( I've been spending too much time scouring the Survivor messageboard, so here are a bunch of Jason pictures ) |4| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

Obi-Wan looks like how I feel [15 May 2008|11:16pm] riorhapsody [ mood | moody ] [ music | Beatles vs NIN "Come Closer" ] becs1024! LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BULLSHIT THAT WAS THE SMALLVILLE FINALE. AND BECAUSE TELEVISION MADE ME MAD ALL FUCKING NIGHT AND I'M FEELING OPINIONATED BECAUSE I READ TOO MUCH CHUCK KLOSTERMAN, LET'S DO THIS. Ask me my opinion of any fannish topic. Show, character, storyline, meta issues, kerfuffle, you name it. I am fearless! |24| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

Goddammit Bill Beckett [15 May 2008|05:49pm] riorhapsody [ mood | melancholy ] [ music | TAI "Sleeping with Giants" ] I've noticed, people, they all have motives. Different, yet all the same. I fumble through every word that is spoken, and I barely knew your name. I'm tongue-tied, it runs through my blood and my insides; Some things we can't escape. But if we try, if we try, we can leave this behind. It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for. A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all?" Your eyes wide, always ahead of the curve tide, quiet, and confident. Oh, we stood there, awkward and youthful, we tangled; A piece of my soul escaped. Oh, we are restless and tired, sleeping with giants, A model make out with the egos of fire and it seems like it's been a lifetime a lifetime we've waited for. A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all?" Are we wasting time or is it wasting us? It's been a lifetime waiting for now, now. Well, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way before you fold in. It's been a lifetime, a lifetime I've waited for. A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all?" It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for. I need an answer, kid, you're either with me or not at all, no, no. Are we wasting time or is it wasting us? It's been a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, yeah. Well, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way. Said you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way, you've got to find a way before you fold in. This song depresses me. Really, really depresses me. No one wants to make it as bad as they do and they haven't yet and argh, goddammit, someone give TAI their happy ending so I can stop being depressed over them. shoot me in the fucking head

The Siska brothers continue to run (or is it ruin?) my life [14 May 2008|11:08pm] riorhapsody [ mood | stalkery ] [ music | Oasis "Morning Glory" ] The first night, Chet was like, "Hey, are you sure you're not gay? You want to sleep next to me?" I was like, "Dude?" And from Jason's myspace: I'd love to have someone design a T-shirt or some photo of me and my brother, Sisky Biz. What I had in mind was something that would reflect our love for each other but show the differences in us. Like how my bro is super musical and I'm into the whole outdoorsy adventure thing. I...I don't even know anymore, people. He has fanart of him and Adam that he calls cute and him and Ozzy as mermen and has a faily video of a roadtrip he and friends took set to Cobra Starship. Now, I'm currently scouring through the Survivor Sucks message boards looking for pictures of him and Adam together. It's summer, I actually have nothing better to do, okay? ETA Thank you random Survivor Sucks message board person for saying it so I don't have to. ETA2 Have some kind of crappy Panic icons. Damn HCT lighting, most of those did not come out like how I wanted. |20| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

Tom wouldn't stop looking out the window, either [13 May 2008|11:13pm] riorhapsody [ mood | amused ] [ music | Hey Chris and Nick ] Nick Scimeca: "I'll tell you somethin' about 504 Plan no one knows." Hey Chris: "Okay, then." Nick: "So, me and Mikey, the singer, started this band and we didn't have a second guitar player. And this kid hit me up online, on like a get up kids message board or something and he was all 'Let's start a band.' And he kept callin' my phone and I was like, 'This kid's creepy, dude.'" Chris: "How did that kid get your phone number?" Nick: "I probably gave it to him." *insert Hey Chris and Stephanie laughing and making fun of Nick* Nick: "Yeah, but he called like every five seconds." *more making fun of Nick* Nick: "And he kept calling me and I was like 'Yo, don't answer the phone, I don't know how this dude is, right?'" Chris: "Right." Nick: "That dude was Tom Conrad." Chris: "Really?" Stephanie: "That is so Tom Conrad." I still have over 2 more hours to listen to, but this is fucking hilarious. Nick name drops everyone and makes fun of people and geeks out and Stephanie makes fun of him and it's amazing. ETA 1. The story of the night Hey Chris got his ass tattooed with the bartskull is one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard. I can't even summarize, just listen. 2. Tom get Nick into design because Tom said that Nick's angelfire site was not cool and gave him Photoshop and then they started designing things together. Awwwwwwww. ETA2 Nick does not know what "fandom" is, and neither than Stephanie. They're leaving with like 80 minutes left but Hey Chris and Eliza Cuts are there and are apparently going to talk about fandom, so I'm going to keep listening. ETA3 Once Nick leaves, it's only worth listening to if you want to hear Chris talk about fanfiction (which apparently Eliza knows "nothing" about. lol) and how he wants links of it, as long as he's the one topping, especially if the fic is about him and Pete, because that's how it was in real life. Also, he wants in on the shark fandom. I don't know. |70| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

public service announcement [13 May 2008|01:21pm] torncorpse [ mood | frustrated ] [ music | telephone ] vampire_heart has under gone a make over. Due to annoying glitches we've changed name. We are now torncorpse. |9| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

A summary of today's events [13 May 2008|01:35am] riorhapsody [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | The Hush Sound "That's Okay" ] Things that would be awesome: -For my internet to start working consistently -For my school's website to let me into my account (at least I have an excuse to not check my grades?) -For my cats to stop being injured (Sam got bitten by something today. We thought it was a snake but the vet said the bite marks weren't right) -For tiny elves to reorganize my room while I'm not there -For the weather to not be a douche -For people to call me back -The Hush Sound/Cab tour date in the south to not be the week school starts in August -For those Empire pictures to be properly released so I can post these icons and shit. I'm sitting on them because I don't want to step on any toes when it comes to photos. Stupid boys. It's like "rarez" drama on the fullsize communities or something. Things that are awesome: -Transformers, Pulp Fiction and Jackass Number Two all being on TV today -Mona meowing back to me when I sing badly along to whatever's playing on my iTunes -It looks like TAI TV is going to start back soon. ...and that's all I got. Come on life, start picking up. |6| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

[11 May 2008|01:23pm] riorhapsody [ mood | hot ] [ music | Empires "Midnight Land" ] Ryan J., don't tell anyone, but I think you're my favorite. So, yeah, this was the best thing to wake up to ever. Tom's not wearing a black V-neck shirt! And he's totally awkward when getting his picture taken! And Max is wearing bright red flip-flops! And Alfred is so gorgeous it's a little unreal. And Sean's wearing one of those goddamn American Apparel hoodies! And Ryan J. acts like a weirdo! It's everything I love about them, captured on film. Now I have to go help my mom pack up more of my stuff to store but then I am coming back and making a shitload of icons. |16| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

And my picture folder grows again [11 May 2008|12:52am] riorhapsody [ mood | full ] [ music | Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under the Bridge" ] Things I accomplished today: -Unpacked and organized all of my DVDs -watched a Degrassi episode about HIV (it went there) -watched Raiders of the Lost Ark -saw the new mysterious yellow cat that's been hanging around -found a photobucket filled with TAI pictures I had never seen before or had forgotten to save when I did. ( They are worth looking at, trust me ) |25| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

Jon Walker looks good as a woman [10 May 2008|02:42am] riorhapsody [ mood | devious ] [ music | Death Cab for Cutie "The Ice is Getting Thinner" ] My internet went out earlier. The HBO channels saved me, though. Lethal Weapon 4 and Snakes on a Plane? Fuck yes. I forgot how fucking excellent of a movie Snakes on a Plane was (for shame, me). Anyway, before I was kicked off, I was reading through the former former guitarist of TAI's livejournal (adrianlatracejr He was who Tom replaced. He was also in Jon's crappy high school band, Farewell Night. You can't make this shit up, people.) And I wasn't really finding anything of interest, but on the page that refreshed when the internet started working, this was the first thing I saw: Jon Walker looks good as a woman. It's the only mention of Jon that I found, but isn't it a beauty? Now, I did not go through the comments of every entry from this time period, but I should, because William, Nick and Siska occasionally left him comments. But until I do that, have some other gems. Announcing why he left TAI. Siska comments over a month later. Popping pills(?) with Adam and Jason Siska. Mike Carden flips out on him in the studio. William is passive aggressive with some kid in the comments. (William's old lj was mondayeyes) Johnny Minardi and Tony Marino live(d) together. This is probably only interesting to me. William and AJ are sick. William prefers herbal tea to theraflu. William whines in the comments for prayers because he is "down with the sickness." Slightly related: I showed my mom Tom's photography tonight on his website. She liked the O'Hare and Coney Island pictures but she thought the taxidermy pictures were really weird and then stopped paying attention. Oh mom. But anyway, that was my Friday night. Now I have to go change my lightbulb in my room in the dark. Always an adventure. |12| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

it's important to remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were Empires. [08 May 2008|11:53pm] riorhapsody [ mood | crazy ] [ music | Charlotte Sometimes "Waves and The Both of Us" ] I told myself I wasn't going to update again today but I HAVE IMPORTANT THINGS TO TALK ABOUT THAT SHOULD NOT SURPRISE ANYONE. ( Survivor, Supernatural and Lost spoilers ) EMPIRES IS MY FAVORITE BAND EVER. THE END. |36| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

[08 May 2008|04:04pm] riorhapsody [ mood | indescribable ] [ music | TAI "40 Steps" (seriously, someone stop me) ] Pros and Cons of today: Pros: -I'm done with school for the semester! Including Physics! -I got my cleaning and packing done way faster than I had planned on. -I'm home and have my cats and big screen TV and food! Cons: -I have to unpack. D: -And then repack stuff up to store in the garage. -Of the 3 cats (out of 8) that I've seen since I got home, all 3 of them are injured or sick. :( Eddie, who used to weigh 24 pounds and is 3 feet long, now looks like he weighs about half of that; Tigerlilly has some big ass scab on her head and Custer is covered in new scars because he gets in fights with other random outside cats on his travels. I did see Sam through my dad's window though, and he was sitting on my dad's head, so he seems to be okay. -My mom's paperwork is all over the office and it's the only place we have internet in the house. -We probably don't actually have any food in the kitchen because my mom only eats Smart Start cereal, Lean Cuisines and popcorn. -Also, I'm terrified to look at my grades. Home sweet home? |3| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

[08 May 2008|02:13am] riorhapsody [ mood | lazy ] [ music | TAI "Season" ] Gabe/William, Gabe/Travis and William/Travis icons I was bored and I'm avoiding packing up my room, so that's what happened. I also redid my header and userinfo pictures at famineghost. I am only productive when it is least good for me. But yeah, this is my last night at school. I'll be glad to be out of this tiny-ass dorm room, but it will be annoying to have to walk all over the house to get things. I only have internet in the basement and no cable in my room and the cats are just everywhere. My life, so hard. Anyway, someone make me stop listening to TAI. No, really. Because I've been picking out bass parts while listening on my headphones and trying to decipher how good of a bass player Siska is. I know nothing about playing bass. What the fuck, self? eta Oh hey, Captain Conrad updated with an awesome picture of Sean and You have your entire life to be nobody May 27th, 2008... *flails* |12| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

The apocalypse! And a drabble [07 May 2008|03:30pm] riorhapsody [ mood | hungry ] [ music | TAI "Down and Out" ] I keep having dreams about the apocalypse. Last night I dreamt that a bomb went off and it destroyed all the planets (apparently I was in some Star Wars-esque universe where there are hundreds of them all near each other) all of Earth except for California, which is where I happened to be, for some reason. People kept dying and then coming back to life and I think I killed a dude. I don't know. It was weird. Anyway, I wrote this Siska/Butcher ficlet/drabble thing last night for just_katarin and I kind of like it, so I'll share. 569 words, pg-13, cuddling ( The kid had more nicknames that Butcher did pairs of underwear ) |9| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

Don't worry, be happy [06 May 2008|05:26pm] riorhapsody [ mood | guilty ] [ music | American Idol ] That goddamn Flash class is OVER. And mine won't work on the web for some reason, but if anyone wants to look at it, here is the .swf file. I have no idea if you have to have Flash to look at it but I am currently tired of looking at it and just want other people to see it, somehow. I do want to work on it more and make it somewhat usable, or at least, send it to the guys, but I will worry about that not right now. Anyway, apparently I depressed people with my last entry, which was totally not my intention. I just have a morbid curiosity! Also I like proving to people how important Jon Walker is. But I feel bad, so here is a ( random hopefully smile-inducing pic spam ) |23| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

Fic that I will never write [06 May 2008|12:23pm] riorhapsody [ mood | curious ] [ music | Wolfmother "Apple Tree" ] I want fic where Panic never kicked Brent out of the band because I want to know what would have happened to Jon. He would have probably kept teching for TAI, through Warped, but I highly, highly doubt he would have once they kicked Tom out. So, what would he have done? He really didn't seem to like school. Would he have hung out with Tom and tried to start a band? Would he be in Empires? Would that band even exist or would it be something completely different? Someone should tell me. Anyway, I finished the website? But I can't get it to work online. The index.html file works fine when I open it in firefox, but once I upload it to the server, all I see is my grey background. *sighs* But my professor's pretty cool, so as long as I have the index file, hopefully I won't get in trouble. |36| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

[06 May 2008|01:18am] riorhapsody [ mood | working ] [ music | TAI "The Phrase that Pays" ] New Taking Back Sunday pictures and video of a new song! The mystery new guitarist has been revealed! Adam finally cut his hair! He's also wearing a Harley Davidson shirt! And the new song sounds pretty good and Adam did his little on-stage antics and Matt Rubano's bass playing turns me on almost as much as Jon Walker's does. Nngh. Anyway, I am slowly figuring out buttons, hooray! And this project is due in 12 hours, hooray! |11| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head

I only hope the Cobra can forgive me [05 May 2008|05:40pm] riorhapsody [ mood | mellow ] [ music | Andre 3000 "Hey Ya!" ] Yesterday was Nate Navarro's birthday and I completely forgot. :( ( So, here is a pic spam of him to make up for it ) eta Adam T. Siska, please don't stop being hot and wearing fugly shirts. Also, Billiam looks like Clark Kent and it weirds me out because I like it. |10| taught me || shoot me in the fucking head
