always been crazy

So, my daddy and I got storage areas of the basement cleaned out yesterday. There is actually a floor in the basement! And it's white-grey, not brown/black! :P Seriously, we hauled out so much trash and ruined things. But at least we have room now to move some of the things from the actual family room of the basement and from what will eventually be my bedroom. Last night I took the boys to watch Ice Racing, which was a bunch of guys and one girl (who was a quad racer and took the checkers in every heat she was in) just goofing off and having fun, lol. But now I'm excited for actual race season. First NASCAR race is Feb 20 (which reminds me, I need to check w/ Tim, because he was supposed to be getting tix for me & the boys for the spring races at Richmond and Martinsville) and Taylor's first race of the season at Motor Mile is in April. Yay for watching cars go really fast in circles? Lol.

I'm supposed to be doing more housework today, but me and the princess are just chilling instead. We actually have sunshine today! Illy likes to play in the sunshine, so we have all the curtains open. She keeps trying to bite me and take over the computer, so I set her in the floor and turned all the Kung Zhus on her (we have six of them now, and it's kinda funny to watch and her reaction to them). I've gotta meet Tim at 4 and we're gonna hit Home Depot and Sam's Club before we all meet up at Logan's for dinner. Yay for family times?

Here, have some happy making things:

So, that Brendon kid and hotass drummer Spencer? Yeah, apparently the full version of their new song leaked. Can they hurry up and announce their tour dates? I have serious fangirl plans for stalking them, dammit!

The theme for this year's Relay for Life is something related to cartoons, so we're appropriating that to make our team theme CareBears and CareBear Cousins (which is fitting, since our Team Name is Cousins for a Cure). I already called dibs on getting to be Grumpy Bear, lol. But we're starting to work on fundraising things, so I might ask yall for tips.

(related to that, and I'm sure this will be an actual post later, would anyone be interested in contributing to ideas for and/or purchasing a fundraising cookbook?)

wendy posted a link to big_heart_june's boy bits picspam. Wendy called it a Jensen and Jared crotch!spam, which is essentially what it is, but no matter what you call it, it's happy making.

I have no idea how I ended up following @IAVA (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) and @MattGallagher83 (Matt Gallagher) on twitter, but I do follow them both. Either way, there was an essay that Matt wrote for the NYT's Home Fires this week that was linked in multiple places, and I wanted to share it. Pilgrim's Progess by Matt Gallagher.

Okay, last thing, before I run off to meet my baby brother: GK Fic parties! iwillrememberu's Main Ships Party and little_missmimi's Unsung Heroes fic party.

1. DISCOS! Yall do realize that when we get an actual album and a tour, you're going to have to listen to me tell you practically every day that I love Brendon Urie, right? I'm sure yall have missed that. :)

2. wendy is awesomesauce, and she has compiled an updated list of different Big Bangs!!

3. Speaking of Big Bangs... what's going on with BBB this year? Not that I was gonna sign up, but I do have 12k words of hs au still, lol. Why do I never finish anything??

4. So everyone else is doing that "ask me about the first time I did something meme", but I honestly have such a hard time remembering things that I'm gonna pass. But I love reading everyone else's answers!

5. It's snowing outside. YUCK. It's gonna suck to be Harley tomorrow if the close schools, because I'm gonna leave the boys with her if that happens...

6. I'm kinda amused that our current email chain is still the one that was started on Jan 3.

7. I wrote comment fic in this post, if anyone was interested.

8. I never posted any Christmas pics on here. Actually, I don't even think I put them on facebook. *fail* Someone remind me on Thursday or Friday to share pics. I know everyone wants to see Illy's first Christmas!

9. Of the six women I know that are currently pregnant, five are having boys. Amy isn't far enough along yet to find out, but she'd better have a girl. We have SO MUCH baby girl stuff to share! :P

10. I have nothing else to say but I had to make this an even number. *smooches*

GUYS GUYS GUYS!!! GUESS WHAT!!!!

I LOVE BRENDON URIE!

... Wait, you're not surprised? Huh. Well, it's been a while, so I figured I'd better remind you. :)

Thank you, Dallon, for making my night!

I just wanna say there are two things that I will eventually master: finishing fics I start, and not writing things when I say I'm not going to write them.

It's not quite Monday, but it is my bedtime, and it'll probably be midnight by the time I get this post finished. April 12 is the 23rd birthday of a very special boy. I love his stupid little face, and I hope he has a fantastic one, especially if it involves: a) drunken shenanigans, b) his GMB bandmate Spencer, c) new music for us, or d) all of the above.

Also, even though I still have three dozen drabbles that have never been typed up, the first five people to comment with a Brendon-centric prompt will get a drabble.

Warning: probably not dial-up safe, mostly older pics b/c I was cheating by finding pics anyway, possibly some repeats, not in any particular order, pics stolen from various places around the intrawebs. Also, from the pics I have here, it looks like I'm a Brendon/Jon shipper. Idk where that came from.

( a ridiculous number of pics )

Happy Sunday!!!

The sun in shining and melting the snow, but that really just means that the roads are gonna be a mess in the morning after everything refreezes tonight. Hmmm.

Title: not so conventional (and it sure as hell ain't normal)
Author: Tabby (why_me_why_not)
Pairing: Brendon/Spencer
Rating: Adult/R
Words: 7476 words
Prompt: 34.Brendon/Spencer, Kidnapping AU! maybe Spencer is part of a group of bank robbers and they kidnap brendon or take him hostage. Happy ending please (Maybe Spencer help him escape in the end, or something, maybe he was good all along, and so on)
Summary: Brendon gets kidnapped and sold into a prostitution ring. His new owner has secrets, though.
WARNINGS: mentions of drug use, mentions of violence, suspected character death, stockholm syndrome, dub-con.

Author's Notes: This was accidentally written after a discussion with my friends. I'm almost certain the blame goes to shutyourface, but I blame her for a lot. Thanks to her and the rest of my email-chain buddies for cheerleading this. Superbig thanks to citikitti for betaing for me even though she doesn't read bandom, and also to ashlein for everything. Title comes from Panic at the Disco's Camisado. Written for bandomvalentine.

FYI - this has a revised ending; Kat's the only one who's seen it.

( Brendon opens his eyes slowly, cautiously. The past couple days are a hazy blur, a mishmash of nightmare and hallucination. It feels strange to wake up to clear – if dim – light and quiet. )

More fic-type things? (note, there's no way I'm gonna finish enough prompts for a bingo on my cliche_bingo card so I'm just throwing some of my random ideas out to you. I have no idea how I've ended up with so much half-written crap lately.)

175 words for desticex, who asked for Dan/Quinn, coffee, hammer, cold.

( There were at least three inches of snow on the ground and they were out here making a video. )

300 words of jealous!Spencer.

( Spencer had the dvd loaded up, a bowl of popcorn with that seasoning Brendon like, and a blanket big enough to share, but no Brendon. )

425 words of the beginning of Brendon/Spencer mpreg.

( Brendon tries Spencer's phone for the tenth time that day, but it's still going straight to voicemail. )

Random ficishness.

400 words for nearlycloudy, who asked for The Used + rainbow sprinkles.

( Late night munchies in the middle of nowhere, a stop at Walmart for Ultimate Sundae fixings made perfect sense. )

Both shutyourface and ashlein asked for Brendon/Spencer HS AU. So I went back and pulled some old prompt words from notthequiettype: bumper cars, high school reunion, texting. 450 words.

( Brendon knew he was a daydreamer. He couldn’t help it, okay? )

450 words for maryangel200, who asked for Bob/Frank, pasta, couch, horror movies.

( Frank had never understood the appeal of snowy days spent in Bob’s Chicago apartment, but Bob claimed to love them. )

Hotel Night
bandom (patd) || Brendon/Jon || Adult || 775 words
Disclaimer: not mine, all false
Summary: Brendon + Jon + hotel night

A/N: written for playfullips -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUN! Beta'd by irisgirl12000, thanks also to shutyourface for being her encouraging/enabling self. All mistakes and inconsistencies are mine. Inspired by this image from vic_ramsey's epic Brendon/Jon picspam

( There’s really no such thing as a bad hotel night, but this one is starting out better than most. )

thedogstarlives is graduating high school this week. Congratulations, hun! I wanted to make her a picspam in celebration, and she asked for Panic At the Disco and the Boys (and Girls!) They Love? Pics of Panic loving on each other and other people! \o/! It kinda turned into a hugging picspam, lol, but that’s totally a form of loving!
