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!

Oh man, this is awesome! Thanks for linking to it!

Ryan calling himself and Spencer "little girls" is the best thing I've ever read. And where is the story of all the sex he and Brendon had in the practice studio, huh? Didn't Ryan mention all the good sex (he had with Brendon)? It's good for them that Brendon approved of oral already, right?

OH, PETE! How does he come across as endearing and creepy at the same time? ILOVEHIM! And within a month of meeting Pete, Brendon was recording his voice in "From Under the Cork Tree". Ryan includes a line in the December 20th entry "I keep telling myself I'm not the desperate type" <- with worse punctuation and lack of capital letters, I think.

In conclusion, they are THE BEST BOYS EVER!

Ahaha, pretty much all of it is so super priceless. Oh, RYAN ROSS. Ilu, baby boy. ♥

One of my favorite snippets (from Feb 4th) is this:

"i am going to start wearing my seatbelt more often. i have seen some pretty bad car wrecks happen in my head.
give me envy give me malice give me closure.

if i talk alot of shit on this record i hope i can back it up."

The first bit - oh, RYAN. Your head is such a dark place! And then the two throwaway comments that end up turning into lyrics that millions of people holler back at him - "Give me envy give me malic give me your attention!" and "if you talk you better walk you better back your shit up." God, god, I LOVE HIS BRAIN.

I really really REALLY fucking love that FOB asked Brendon to sing on their album, and had Ryan do a guitar solo. That's, like. Amazing. I love what Pete did for these kids, it's just FANTASTIC. *happysigh*

I just read this one and started weeping.

May 18, 2005

oh look what i found. this evening,while cleaning. i found your diary. it doesn't get any better than this. this is the scalp off the head of your worst enemy. just what were you thinking?leave it to me. i'll write your life. displeasing things.i've already started on some of the bigger events.wedding days..the part where i can't figure out why i can't seem to just forget you completely.every word i write will be the truth about how and why you threw me away. things that you'd only find deep inside someones diary. and when i fill all the pages i'll send it back your way. you know, just to see what you think.

Oh, Ryan! *weeps* Okay, this is why I love him beyond a random OMGSOHOTT moment. Sure, I enjoy those A LOT, but there is so much more to this kid, to all their lives, and the fact that we as fans get to see this part of him just makes him so vulnerable in my eyes. I don't know, I almost feel bad for reading this, and I haven't even finished going through them all. I LOVE HIM AND I WANT TO HUG HIM AND FEED HIM COOKIES!
