You were not squee harshing at all honey! The fact is I've heard that exact phrase wrt Ryan about a million times, so it was the obvious example to use, and I did not mean to single you out :) No worries!
I think Ryan is extremely self aware, which is part of why I love him. At age 18 or so, he wrote this album that's full of incisive observations about himself and others. And one of the reasons Ryan's interviews don't bother me is because it's a persona. Ryan has said many times that the makeup and costumes and script on stage help make him feel like he's not himself, so it's easier to perform, and he obviously does the same thing with interviews. He slips on a very serious, no-nonsense mask (well, he used to) and I think that's because he very very much wanted his band to be taken seriously, and for people to understand that there was serious thought going into this crazy spectacle of an album and live show. So that's just another piece of Ryan Ross, but it isn't who he actually is. Then we get glimpses of the real Ryan, when his three besties make him smile like the sun, and I swoon happily and am basically in love.
HI WOW I COULD TALK ABOUT RYAN FOREVER. *shuts up*
Haha. That makes sense! I'm probably misusing irony at this point, but I just took it as a chance to ramble on about the boys. Bad thing? Never :D
BRENDON URIE, YOU STOP IT WITH THE AMAZING. *sigh sigh* I love him so ridiculously much, and he and Ryan are destined to be married, and everything is perfect and beautiful and and. ♥!
