sarren | ZEBRA IS AWESOME LIKE THAT.

zebra363 stopped by with cookies tonight because she wanted learn about BANDOM. I did point out that it's not a fandom that would interest her, but she wanted to understand what we were all so excited about. Aw, bless.

Results

Zebra can now identify members of My Chemical Romance by name, as long as Gerard and Frank's hairstyles aren't too similar in a given photograph. This despite my having confused the issue at the very start of the evening by calling Ray Toro 'Andy' (sorry Ray, sorry Andy) What? I was EXCITED. We have, however, stared at a picture of him while repeating 'Ray Toro' over and over enough times that neither of us will make that mistake again.

I showed Zebra My Chem's early stuff from The Black Parade, cos it's the boppiest, and my favourite. ZEBRA LIKED IT.

Not as much enthusiasm for Fall Out Boy, possibly because Zebra likes them tall, rugged and with long hair for preference and FOB are pretty much totally the opposite of that. Though Andy did catch her eye. It's the hair. (see Ray Toro)

Also, I did not spend as much time trying to sell their music, cos really, who'd believe me? So it was mostly me going 'Um, it's the FIC, you see. Everyone in every band ever ~~sleeps with~~ loves Patrick, I'm not really sure why but look how tiny and adorable he is and oh this is Pete Wentz who, it has been said, is the 'little black dress' of fandom'. He is pretty.

I did not confuse the issue by introducing any of the six degrees bands.

So now we have to rec fics. For Zebra. We have to be SELECTIVE. Maybe that one where Patrick moves in with Bob Bryer? Help me?

Then Zebra made me discuss what I think will happen in Harry Potter when I'VE BEEN TRYING NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT, and then I traumatised her and she went home.

Then Dragonfly and I watched Eureka 2.01 which made me all sorts of happy and then we watched Jekyll 1.01 and that made me whimper and wish I'd gone to bed while I was in my happy place.

There was no watching of s6 Smallville at all.

Andy is awesome! Nuff said.

And Eureka 2x01 was SO CUTE! Fargo is like my walking happy button, and his relationship with Stark...actually, Stark pwned everybody. Jack saved the day, but Stark did the pwning. Nice equal division of labour there, boys!

Nathan - I didn't know you cared.
Jack - OH. I don't.

Though I'm thinking the only way this is really going to work is Jack/Alison/Nathan. *sigh*

Henry! ACK!

I actually liked

Stark: That didn't even leave a bad taste in my mouth
Jack: Wait a minute
Stark: *CUTEST FACE EVA* Oh wait, there it is.

How did I miss that????

When was it?

most recent episode - you are up to date, right?

*gets ready to run behind the 'inadvertent spoilage' barrier*

I'll watch it tonight after Cricket makes me go jogging.

I'm looking forward to it even more now - they are so cute together.
