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!

Hello random friendofafriend! Randoms always welcome around here :D

I've said this before, but Ryan fascinates me. I had never directly thought of this comparison before, but his LJ posts made me think of how much he reminds me of my ex-best friend. She's also kind of a tortured artist, with all KINDS of things going on in her head, but she could also be the goofiest of goofs when she wanted. Ryan reminds me of that. Like the English language is only sort of adequate to express all the myriad thoughts tumbling around in his unfathomable brain. I've always sort of been awed by people who think like that, because it's so different from how my brain works. I'd love to spend a day in Ryan's mind.

I'm sad that his old stuff isn't archived anywhere too :( Though I suppose it's good that *something* of his remains private. There's a line that needs to be drawn, because he was just a kid and I think it's right that all that stays with him and isn't in the public sphere.

'Course I don't mind, I stole the link from someone else! *laughs* It's a pretty fantastic conversation, I agree. I am completely unsurprised by Pete asking if they're hot, because if Pete's anything he's a BUSINESSMAN, and hot sells, so, There you go. It's still hilarious though. And I want to eavesdrop on Ryan's subsequent hysterical (for Ryan, hysterical = some varied pitch in his voice ;)) phone call to Spencer about how OMG I JUST TALKED TO PETE WENTZ HE LIKES OUR STUFF OMG OMG SQUEEEEE. *grins* God, I love those boys so much.
