Cartoon Star SpongeBob SquarePants Has No Gay Agenda
By Jan Dahinten, Reuters

SINGAPORE (Jan. 28) - SpongeBob SquarePants, the wacky cartoon character who sparked a gay alert warning by U.S. Christian conservative groups, is neither gay nor straight.

He is asexual, says his creator.

At least two Christian activist groups said the innocent and hugely popular cartoon character SpongeBob and his best mate Patrick Starfish are being exploited to promote the acceptance of homosexuality.

SpongeBob's creator, Stephen Hillenburg, 43, said the allegations are far-fetched and his agenda does not go beyond fun and entertainment.

"It doesn't have anything to do with what we're trying to do," Hillenburg told Reuters in an interview on Friday, two days before the Asian premiere of the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie in Singapore.

"We never intended them to be gay. I consider them to be almost asexual. We're just trying to be funny and this has got nothing to do with the show."

Naive SpongeBob, who lives in a pineapple under the Pacific Ocean, was "outed" by the U.S. media in 2002 after reports that the Nickelodeon TV show and its merchandise were popular with gays.

Influential U.S. radio evangelist James Dobson, among whose top political issues are opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion rights, said last week SpongeBob had been included in a "pro-homosexual video."

"Their inclusion of the reference to 'sexual identity' within their 'tolerance pledge' is not only unnecessary but it crosses a moral line," said Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family.

"MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES"

SpongeBob is one of the stars of a music video due to be sent to 61,000 U.S. schools in March. The makers -- the nonprofit We Are Family Foundation -- say the video is designed to encourage tolerance and diversity.

Hillenburg, a marine-science-teacher-turned-animator who lives in Hollywood and is married with a 6-year-old son, says he thinks there are "more important issues to worry about."
"I really don't pay much attention to this."

Such allegations were common in the history of cartoon and children's entertainment, he said.
"Just think of 'Laurel and Hardy' or 'Ernie and Bert'," he said, referring to two popular American comic icons -- the former from the 1930s and latter from the U.S. television series "Sesame Street."

In 1999, Britain's Teletubbies were cast into sexual controversy by a U.S. religious leader who warned parents to be alert to subtle messages from Tinky Winky, one of the four androgynous characters, singled out for his purple color and a triangular antenna on his head, both symbolising gay pride.

Nickelodeon, part of global media firm Viacom Inc., has made 60 episodes since SpongeBob's birth in 1996 and is working on another 20. It says the series is a big hit in Indonesia and has been translated into Hindi, Korean and Japanese.

Hillenburg, who produced and directed his first SpongeBob movie, has employed stars such as Alec Baldwin and Scarlett Johansson to voice some of the characters while Baywatch personality David Hasselhoff has made a non-cartoon appearance.

"
Nev. Judge Throws Out Anti-Lap-Dance Law
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas law prohibiting strippers from fondling customers during lap dances is unconstitutionally vague, a judge ruled. District Court Judge Sally Loehrer affirmed a lower court ruling that as many as five misdemeanor criminal cases filed against Las Vegas strippers should be dismissed.

Friday's ruling affects only dancers within city limits. The Clark County Commission in 2002 limited touching between strippers and patrons during private lap dances, specifically barring strippers from touching or sitting on the customer's genital area.

But the municipal code was not as specific, saying only that strippers and their patrons should not ``fondle'' or ``caress'' each other. City attorneys told Loehrer touching is illegal when dancers engage in contact aimed at sexually arousing the customer. But defense lawyer James Colin argued the lack of specifics makes it impossible to enforce the law.

``It's too confusing,'' Colin said. ``No one knows.''

Under Loehrer's ruling, no dancer in the city can be arrested for violating the municipal code. The city is considering an appeal. "

Friday, January 28, 2005

fridays are not days to be freezing and have a fever. today is an exeption, i had nothing else to do. other things: FOB dvd, fries, fucking bored after school because shopping in ten degree weather is just short of fucking retarded. nothing else. no time this weekeend, must make up sleep somehow. 2 SAT-prep classes with a combined 7-8 hours owrth of lessons. le OI indeed. um not much else. u know when the skin between the tip of your nails and the top of your finger save in a little bit and suddenly there isnt a straight nail anymore? whatever, its happening to my left middle finger and making me sad. ill post pictures of that and others when i figure out how to on this fucking online journal. i got a hot pair of baby pink earmufffffffs.

Thursday, January 27, 2005

im exhausted. famished. i wasted away + 4 hours of my life at the princeton review SAT diagnostics test with jenny. it was painful to sit thru. by the end we were delirious and couldnt multiply to save our lives. le sigh indeed at least it doesnt count officially. met this girl named dierdre or something and sed she knew a boy named alvin who went to our school. conclusion: the boy must have lied to here cuz theres no alvin in our school. umm and theres a boy who was kind of cute, too. sad, i know, dont rub it in.

im coughing and sniffling again. its the fucking 9 degree weather thats why. and i dont nearly wear enough for that long walk to school... oh and i got a 3/3 on my physics lab and a 2/2 on the history ID check. def a hells yes i wont fail this semester i hope.

im prone to laughing fits and random fits of hysterical laughter. i feel like a bimbo right now.

on another note---

the bamboozle festival is ruining my life. when i heard the friday lineup i got so excited/anxious i wanted to puke. kind of literally but i didnt i just teared a little cuz i truly am pathetic.

i think i passed my bio test. theres no way i got over a 60% on my physics test because i didn't have enough time aaaaand imaphysicsretard. kthanx. i had an uneventful day that went by so. slowly.

my mother decided to snap a few pictures of me annoyed before she went to the high school winter concert at school and i ended up liking one of them. so i made it into my new myspace picture because i was getting bored and god knows what i do when im bored. i shouldve gone to the winter concert cuz the trumpeting boys or whatever played the overture to the phantom of the opera. but then again if i were there i wouldve been embarrassing. if they had done the star wars theme song too i wouldve thrown myself off the roof or something lol.

Tuesday, January 25, 2005

i saw room raiders afterschool because i was stalling the studying and the guy was such a shit. he kept making a point of pointing out any trace of pro-Bush signs. it killed me. fucking hicks in georgia :P

groans im freezing but soon i will have the velvet goldmine soundtrack on my iPod and i shall know all the words. "babys on fire, gotta throw her in the water..." sing it jonathan rhys meyers! whoo! that really is the best movie ever made.

Monday, January 24, 2005

i have two tests on wednesday and im almost 100% sure im going to get a 3 on both of them because theyre my worst subjects. bio and physics. fuck youu mr. o'keefe for moving it up a day and youre never there for help afterschool! grumbles.

i like this font, lets do this for a week.

-almost losing a toe to frostbite walking to the chinese bun place near SVA for lunch with hanky

Saturday, January 22, 2005

im freezing. but under kind of good circumstances-- we have our first blizzard in a few years! since like 7th grade i think lol. but either way, it rules. were supposed to have 18-20 inches and i couldnt be happier. because i am a nerd.

i slept over at jennys last night with marfa and misha... and we were out by 1AM. which mind you is a record because usually at 1AM we have begun another round of queer as folk dvd episodes or another bad movie. all we did was prance around all hyper and what not for a few hours...

aisha and i were supposed to eat lunch with andrew or hang out but the weather wasnt that great for that. i look out the window and see snow but nobody told me there was going to be a blizzard. to make the best of things, jenny marfa misha and i went to the park for 2 hours and froze to death. diners are love. i came home and my feet were literally blocks of ice and bleeding on the side after i dunked them in hot water and they started itching like craaazy. bleh.

hah today was also supposed to be the i am the avalanche show at the downtown but long island was allegedly going to get 2+ feet of snow so the show was postponed and we didnt go. get it tho? snow? avalanche? i am the avalanche? ahhahaa

ill write more soon...

-*YAWN*
- I Love the 90s is sucking a bit. Juust a bit. Hal Sparks and Michael Ian Black are slowly becoming unexistant, replaced by obscure comedians who think they're HILARIOUS. Fuck you guys, please die and leave VH1 alone.
- Everything is positively emotastical!
- I love black blazers more than life itself.
- MySpace is tearing me away from Livejournal and Blogger and I hate it.

Angrylittleme [11:08 PM]: my gummy bears are having sex.
Snappleaddict71 [11:11 PM]: once again u have we have to get ourselves boyfriends
Snappleaddict71 [11:11 PM]: its spread from disney movies to candy
Angrylittleme [11:12 PM]: i hate you.

Monday, January 17, 2005

Thank you Livejournal for being back up!

I got back from Jersey in time for the Paul-less Punchline show. It was awkward. Its 2AM and I have no energy but I feel entitled to do an update. why? Eh. anyway, I really liked the Berlin project (whoo for the Hey Jude cover), Zolof & the Rock Destroyers, and June (hahah Maria and Henrietta are hooked on the boys).

[Re: myspace] "...First, you get to be a cool new person..." -- Maria.

"You two are such immigrants" - Riana to me and Aisha LMAO

I love Jersey's no-tax rule. And when my Mom is feeling extra generous and is in an exceptionally peppy mood. that = mass amounts of new clothes. WHOO. and I have a new obsession with LeSportSac because you really can't go wrong with them.

Velvet Goldmine at 4AM is like a freaking acid trip or something.

Thursday, January 13, 2005

Almsot Friday almost Friday almost Friday.

I think I failed my math test. All of us did in fact I think. By the end of bio both back tables were ready to kill rahat because he kept throwing fucking paper towel balls around and they kept hitting us. I got to leave before physics early for a doctors appointment.. whoo! I'm spacing out again damnit. I hate myspace. Satan I tell you.

on the bus home i looked out the window like i tend to do and saw a guy turn the corner and he caught my eye. why? because i thought it was peter wentz. and it could very well have been because (ok i know it might not have been cuz theyre recording in LA) he was wearing the exact same thing as pete was at the irving show: the jacket, hat, jeans, etc. it was insane. i didnt get off cuz i was in doubt. but it couldve very well been him.

When I got home my mom gave me some package and it was the FOB Take This to Your Grace Director's Cut! 11 days before it's released! Bless you speedy pre-sale and shipping!

Afterschool Nej and I scoped out the Toy/Book sale for the little kids and bought like 2 books. The best was a book called 'How to say No.' and included stories for children to teach them about saying No to child molesters. It's as fantastic as 'Whats Wrong with Timmy?'

I'm going to Jersey tomorrow pour the weekend. Back on Sunday suckas.

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

let's see what was interesting today.

-massive nosebleed that prevented my TOK presentation.
-bumped into maria and raj from the apprentice on the street. lovely people, really...
-then i said hi to the best friend from the princess diaries movies as she was yelling at her dog.
-me and tima went to the nbc studios/carson daly show to see MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! score. totally lied to my mother. found tiggs up front randomly and pissed off tons of people lol. she was def my hero for the day. i heard like 1000 people were denied tickets, awesomee. frankie was on the line with his fiancee and the boy in front of us was really really cute. -drools incessantly- MCR WAS AWESOME. and i lover me every single one of those boys. heroes i tell you. they did helena and im not okay. of course.

and to think their video was premiered on TRL and theyll actually be on the show on MONDAY scares the life out of me.

im typing weird must be cuz im sleep deprived and OD-ing on the string cheese.

the ep of carson daly is airing january 21st. watch for me up front behind the ghetto girl, on top of tima, bopping around like a GIMP.

Tuesday, January 11, 2005

i've been busy...

-with a bad hairday.

-i need to sign up for a fucking SAT prep course!

-critics choice awards last night: GERARD BUTLER IS FUCKING LOVE. sideways won practically every award. why? i know now. and score for the TOM CRUISE TRIBUTE!

-jimmy neutron: that show rules. why? because there was an EMO JIMMY clone. and i laughed until i wanted to cry.

-jenny, misha, mumu's TOK presentation: so aisha and i were tricked into believing mumu got knocked up for half an hour... and wen we found out it was all a lie i was fucking pissed off cuz i was about to freak. good acting, kids.

myspace is the devil. make it stop ruining my life and making me completely NEUROTIC. *click click* nooo! seriously, the commenting relations are making me insane. and commenting back. its like livejournal but way, way worse. ah and scary fat people keep requesting to be my friend. stop it i do not care about you.

GUESS WHO MET HAL SPARKS ON THE STREET TODAY? ME.
It was fabulous. I saw him as I was on the M15 coming home, and I gasped and hopped off the bus and ran like 3 blocks to catch up with him and his cousins lol. He's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Ever. And he's so nice! His character is alot like when he's on VH1 shows. Knowing me in these sort of situations, I babbled about how much I loved his shows (QaF, I Love...) and how me and my friends are huge fans, and he had a massive sincerely happy smile on his face. I got him to talk to Martha on the phone and AH it was too good. Scary, too, though because a few days ago Jenny Marfa and I were like, since Hal Sparks lives in NYC, how funny would it be if we met him? Yes. Very. And to think I forgot my fucking camera at home. And I got a really good hug at the end. I love long bear hugs.

Saturday, January 08, 2005

I hate when it's freezing and it rains. I thought I was going to lose feeling in my feet forever. Before Nora's b-day party on The Island, Tima, Jenny, Marfa, and I went to see 'Phantom of the Opera'. (Yes, AGAIN.) And I teared up at the end again. It's such a fucking awesome movie. And Gerard Butler is the sexiest Scotsman I have ever laid eyes on. Tima made fun of me because mid-movie I started babbling about his hot pants *ahem* they were..

The Phantom of the Opera delirium frenzy lasted the rest of the day and throughout the party. We were such crackheads. Aisha and Maria didn't come because they were hanging out with Amanda. Jenny Marf Tima and I were prancing, 'dancing', shimmying, roboting, 80's groove-ing, and throwing ourselves around the room and Anwar and Hanky both asked if I was drunk lol. And I wasn't at all but we were uber-hyper and seriously just relating everything to the Phantom of the Opera.
Evidence:
-QaF and Phantom gingerbread
-Phantom faces during pictures
-Plans for Halloween next year
etc.

So ridiculous but good times anyway. I miss someone I'm not close with at all. It's saddening.

According to Aisha/Amanda/Amanda's friend, Wentz was in town today. For no reason that we know of, and I heard he'd be at the Gym Class listening party next weekend. Hot Shit yo.

thank god its friday, thats all i have to say.

this week has been so slow. christ. i got my stitches out, and now its covered with brown strips. as i was about to piss on myself from anxiety, i missed an english commentary on 'the last honor of katharina blum' which ive read to pg. 16/54. whoo!

alot of last years seniors came to visit and it was kind of awkward, dunno why. we went to watch timas AVP video, ate at a crepe place, and watched 1/2 of 3 films. then i went to see 'meet the fockers' with my mom and my brother. on the way back there was a random, random group of T4's leaving school/the vicinity. it was weird for 11PM.

the last smile-slash-glance of the day made me melt a little bit. just a bit. le sigh indeed at how lame that is. mmm.

Thursday, January 06, 2005

TSYL's ahem, affairs, make me crack up with delighted laughter. That is all you need to know. Hah!

today was supposed to rule by only have 3 real class periods (2 frees in the morning, missing math and bio for a doctors appointment), but my doctors office called in the middle of the CAS/SAT assembly to tell me he was sick and i'd have to get my stitches out tomorrow. bummer. but that means im missing double english woot woot! cisek and the fucking book are killing me slowly. [end rant.]

there has been a recent surge in people requesting to be my friend on myspace and its actually creeping me out a bit.

LOL so ashlee simpson was booed offstage at the orange bowl because she totally fucked up her perfomance of 'lala'. its hot shit cuz she shouldnt have been up there anyway (see: iMDB.com)

how about this for some late night amusement--

i get a phone call from dallas texas and the dude leaves me a message (and he sounded like a lurker) and was babbling about he was leaving a message so i'd know not to call back confused, and ended with 'and you sound hot on your message.'

its like 1AM and i haven't slept alot because i've been compulsively cleaning my desk, so i crack up on my own. sad, huh?

alias's 2-hour seasion premiere was brilliant. AH. i had dramatic pauses and when characters just give blank looks. it kills me i hate it please just say your damn line already kthanx. afterschool aisha and i had a compulsive TSYL tourettes-esque spasm fit. it was hilarious lol. not much else. i hate how small our school is, because whereever you go it always seems like youre stalking each other cuz theres nowhere to go. cough break cough. :)

Tuesday, January 04, 2005

this week is projected to be a serious slap in the face because i am still convinced i should be able to sleep till one, not do homework, and go online the whole day. [random cackle about the strapping young lad]. im drained. i almost wanted to die before unis-un cuz i was so drained but we were constructive and for the first time we had more than 5 members present lol. my computers being a bitch and freezing constantly. blehh. its time to work out this excess holiday weight ive put on.

long overdue FOB Show Re-cap--

I’ve pretty much written a small book on the Fall Out Boy Double Feature lol, so grab your popcorn, kids. Since Fall Out Boy had been touring for 6 months after the Believers Never Die Tour and had not hit New York City, they made another tour (We Are Not Unique and Beautiful Snowflakes) with Midtown, The Academy, and Gym Class Heroes for the northeast as a sort of Christmas present because they badly rule at life. In the time between tours, FOB was put on the cover of AP, was booked for the whole of Warped Tour 05, Pete released a book, the Saturday video was made, and FOB broke a stage at Warped Tour after 2000+ kids swamped the Volcom Stage. … I really, really missed those boys.

Irving Plaza, 12.26.04:

Tiggs called Aisha at 7AM to tell her she was at the venue, so Aisha called me and woke me up so we could be at Irving before 8:30 and get a spot on line (hah. re: Hey Chris’s lj posts). We made brownies and cupcakes for kicks. There were like 5 kids from Boston already on line next to Tiggs and Nel, all with blankets and stuff because it was fucking 15 degrees outside or something. We kind of just sat around for a bit, took walks around the block, etc. AISHA SOMEHOW GOT ME A DISC OF THE NEW ACCEPTANCE CD FOUR+ MONTHS BEFORE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED. Aisha rules. Then around 9, Tiggs was like ‘Ah! Some band’s unloading around the corner!’ so Aisha dragged me up, and we saw it was Pete, Mike, and Chris. Quite a happy incoherent moment for all of us. Pete came over to say hi to us and it was nice; the little Boston Mest girls freaked out and got pix and stuff. Around 10, Andrew showed up and he hung out with Aisha and me for a few hours and said he was going to interview Pete later on between shows. We made a few trips to Starbucks because we became concerned when we couldn’t feel our fingers anymore, walked around the block, and got random balloons that kept on flying away (“I feel uncomfortable being seen holding a purple balloon.”). lmao the best thing ever was Andrew’s impression of sonny’s (from FFTL) feminine gestures, and Aisha and I cracked up cuz it was true. For a while all we wanted to do was avoid Nel because we didn’t want problems with others/Pete because of her ‘problems’ with really superfluous things that are self-induced. Haha Pete came out for a walk around the line and little girls FREAKED OUT and started screaming and it was amusing. Then Riana and Marisa showed up and we all happily froze together until 1 when doors finally opened. There was a severe lack of testosterone cuz the AM show because it was added after the PM show and mostly people who weren’t smart enough to get tix to the PM early got tix for it = little girls who have crushes on Pete/ little Mest-groupie girls/ parents.

The Academy went on first and was awesome. I can’t wait for their new cd so I can forget about their EP lol. Bill kept on singing and pointing to Marisa because she’s a crazy Academy fan; Beckett is love. It’s really bad that I keep calling people by their last names or nicknames I randomly made for them. Like Lips lol. Anyway so their set was awesome, but I was still shivering from being outside so long. Gym Class was okay I guess, I don’t like rap/hip-hop all that much so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could’ve. They were pretty entertaining though. Before the show, to keep warm, Andrew and Aisha rapped ‘Taxi Cab’ much to my amusement, so both of them were having a blast lol. Beckett came out at the end of their set to help out with the ‘HELLO-O? IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THEEERE?’ which is probably the only other song of theirs I have any tolerance for. Midtown was up next and they were amazing. A lot of people were either surprised or mad that they were opening for FOB and not vice versa or even co-headlining. I only knew like 3 songs like ‘Give It Up’, which got everyone all pumped up and alive. Gabe of Midtown is a really awesome front man and according to Aisha, looks like Vinnie from the Movielife.

Fall Out Boy went on and did all the staple songs, 3 New Songs (Pete dedicated one of them called ‘Snow Day’ or something to us: “This song is for all the girls up front who were freezing to death this morning outside before the show…” and other stuff but we couldn’t understand him) which all sound amazing and different from their past songs; Yule Shoot Your Eye Out (just a thing I noticed, I remember last November at the LTJ tour, I think probably me and 7 other kids total knew the words to the song, and this year, every single person knew it. Crazy stuff…) The pit wasn’t that rough at all, probably because of the influx of these new fans post-Mest tour who only know 2 songs off purevolume and are in love with Pete. I guess a lot of people noticed also that all of FOB looked sick/sad/mad/exhausted when they were onstage. It was weird because you would look at all of them and they would give like a weak smile every now and then, and usually Pete just naturally radiated energy and enthusiasm, but this time it looked forced. I think the fact that the fact that the environment of the shows has so drastically changed for the worse has made me a bit spiteful. I don’t hate the fact they’re gaining new fans at all, I just hate the idea that these new fans are saturating the environment with artificiality almost… well, It makes sense to me. Anyway, Pete stage dived at the end of their set like always, and after I turned my head to see if the kids caught Pete, I saw Joe’s crotch flying at my face. And we almost dropped him too and I ended up pulling him up by like the thigh lol. I’ve never gotten a FOB guitar pick before, and Pete kept on throwing them at us and our area but Marisa and I were incompetent and couldn’t catch lol. Finally Marisa got a guard to pick a pick up for her and she gave it to me. I love Marisa. The picks are so hot; they’ve got the FOB rocket thing, and on the flipside is the Clandestine logo. Ah and Pete pointed out that Mikey from MCR was in the balcony but we didn’t see him L

We got merch (haha like the Drop It Like It’s Hot t-shirt and FOB poster), and went to McDonalds with Riana. Before the PM show, Andrew and Marisa went to interview Pete as me and Aisha walked around (lol we weren’t stalking Pete at all before the interview, we just happened to be walking near the entrance) and hung out with Riana, Sharon, Tiggs, Lauren, Tranette, Michelle, Nel, and a few random guys one of which was like raping Sharon with hugs lol. We froze for a bit, peed at Barnes and Noble, and got annoyed at Tranette’s friends for pulling her down (no offense lol).

We got in close to 8, sat through Gym Class again, Beckett ran out again to sing the last part. The Academy are really going to blow up, and there’s evidence of that cuz they’re doing all of Warped Tour with FOB and My Chemical Romance. They’re a deserving band. Anyway, Beckett can get away with strutting cuz he’s so damn good at it and he’s sassy in a good way. Midtown was still awesome the second time around. We noticed that at the PM show it was all guys behind us as opposed to little girls with high-pitched voices. Andrew was an old school Midtown fan and towards the end of their set, Gabe was like ‘this is for the awesome kid in the BANE t-shirt who sang along to every single song’ and Aisha and I were like “AH –looks around furiously for Andrew cuz that’s freaking awesome-“ lol.

Fall Out Boy went on after and the crowd was insaaaannnee. Definitely more than the first show. I moved from behind Riana in the front/center to the left or something. lol I don’t remember why but Pete was like ‘I want a clear path to the other side of the venue’ and everyone moved to either side and left a clear pathway. Which he didn’t use anyway. He just said he wanted everyone to go to the other side and everyone just clashed and I was thrown around the front and found myself next to Aisha lol. Woot! Um so during ‘Saturday’ this kind of cute dude next to Aisha and I decided he was going to protect me from crowd surfers or something, and he put his arm around my waist and bashed away crowd surfers and then yanked me back up front. That was some good, good stuff. After the set his hand was still around my waist and I was like uh thank you… and he smiled and then groped my ass. LOL And I freaked out slapped his hand and ran off to find Aisha and whoever else. People suck sometimes lol. But pits are amusing nonetheless.

Post show, found Tiggs and people, Luis Effie and Michelle (whoo!), ate cupcakes, stalked the trailers, sat in Nel’s car, had frozen brownies, said bye to people, etc. And it was still fucking freezing. Then tiggs ran over and said Beckett told her to wait at the other Irving exit if we wanted to see FOB, so we got out of the van and went and hung out there. Until close to 1AM. Because were insane and were counting down the days to see them. And cuz my mom wasn’t home to stop me. And because Aisha’s dad understood that she needed to be there. Joe came out and people got pix with him and we caught him after the swarm of girls. The Patrick came out and it was one of the scariest things ever—he was swamped and the girls were completely crowded around him squeaking and they even back him up into a wall. And if you keep in mind Patrick’s not the tallest person around, you almost lost him. But once Pete came out all the girls leapt off Patrick and lunged at Pete. Since nobody was around Patrick anymore we went over to him and said hi and had a nice little conversation. He said a lot of the songs they played during the June/July tour like ‘Myspace whore’ and whatnot probably didn’t make it to the album, and he talked about how some of the vocals were too loud on the non-acoustic of Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner. I love that boy so much. Gah. Lol I asked Patrick if he wanted Aisha to sit on the plant pot again like last time so he’d look taller and he looked down and was like ‘that doesn’t work anymore...’ lol then Andy popped up with his new glasses and it was fun. Id didn’t recognize him with his hat at first.

Andy (to Aisha): Why do you have two different colored gloves?
Me: She’s colorblind.
Andy (eyes pop): You’re colorblind?
Aisha: haha no I’m not I just have two different colored gloves…
Me: She’s just colorblind that’s all.
Andy (while taking the picture): You’re colorblind?

I compulsively and randomly went up to HeyChris and said ‘I was too intimidated to talk to you before but I figured id do it now.’ And he laughed and looked at me incredulously and was like ‘you’re intimidated by me? HOW?’ lol cuz if you didn’t know him you’d mistaken him for a very gay man. We had a random convo about how kids bought them cake all the time, livejournal, LMAO and stories of Joe as an awkward teenager and how they used to give him wedgies. It was hilarious.

So we said bye and waited for Tiggs and Nel to say hi to Pete (to Nel: “…And you! YOU win the award for Most Improved!” LOL). Nel and Pete have a weird relationship I don’t understand how he tolerates her nonsense half the time. I don’t know why any of us do. I guess you just don’t want to be on her bad side. Aisha gave him the Morrissey autograph which the thanked for on his tour journal and when she asked he burst into a huge smile and started rambling “Did you get my message?! I opened it up in the car and was like AHH! Why the hell am I leaving?! Ah!” and it was fabulous. Freaking fabulous. We did butt pinch version 2.0 (damn you Julie!), twice. It was hilarious and Pete was all for it. Then Dan had to rush them off to Secaucus or wherever else they were staying.

Ah! Can’t wait for the spring tour and their new cd (“From Underneath the Cork Tree”) dropping on May 3rd. I might fall over.
