You've earned your place in the ICU's hall of fame

Hahaha, wow, this is kind of awesome. I had heard tell of Pete Wentz and Ryan Ross's first online conversation, but I'd never actually read it. Now I finally stumbled on it! It's pretty much fantastic. Ryan calls Brendon "dead sexy" (oh, darling) and Pete is vaguely pedophiliac (Ryan Ross (7:48:57 PM): we look young Pete Wentz (7:49:42 PM): Youngs not abd at all) and Ryan is admirably articulate and calm, even though you KNOW he must have been freaking the fuck OUT. It's pretty obvious he knows what the hell he's talking about, musically, and I think that must have played a part in Pete's decision to come see them. RYAN ROSS FOR THE WIN! \o/

Read the whole conversation here

I also stumbled a very incomplete account of Ryan's old LJ entries, apparently for some fic timeline purposes, and it's got some absolute gems in it, like this one:

-Dec 20th - Ryan gets back from visiting FOB in LA : "los angeles was good.
life aquatic was good. mansoup was good. my updates suck because i have to
keep my mouth shut."

AHAHAHA MANSOUP. Mansoup, for the uninitiated, refers to all (or most) of Panic! and FOB getting into a hot tub together, "mostly naked" according to one Brendon Urie. I think that's the best thing I've ever heard in my whole life. Ryan must have been so giddy to have an injoke with fucking Fall Out Boy to post about. God. I love that precious little boy!!!

But I would love to read the REST of his entries, as well as Brendon's, so if anyone knows where I can find an archive of each of their old LJs, I'd really appreciate it!
