mimesere | fic that lives in my head; FOB live footage what I like a lot

1) Spencer and Patrick go shoe shopping and try to out-shoe and out-bitch each other. At one point, Patrick is all sarcastic and like, "Oh, those are *great* shoes, Carrie Bradshaw," and Spencer is like, "Shut it, Imelda," and Pete and Ryan keep exchanging dubious glances because they KNEW it was a bad idea to let Patrick and Spencer anywhere near each other while also letting them near shoes. But even they cannot keep up with the marathon shopping and though they *try*, they get left ten stores behind and they hurry to catch up because they just know that Patrick and Spencer will have killed each other over a pair of vintage Adidas Gazelles. But when they get there, instead of a dead body (Pete and Ryan have their own little tussle over who would win in a fight between their guys), they find Spencer and Patrick sharing an Ice Blended from CBTL and exchanging notes on where else to get awesome shoes. Little do they know that two stores after they ditched Pete and Ryan, they totally almost did kill each other and two stores after that, they totally kissed and made ~~out~~ up.

2) Patrick invites Bob to stay at his place in LA if/when MCR goes into record their new album in LA and then promptly tries to convert Bob into being a vegetarian. Though it's not so much "convert" as it is "Patrick is trying not to disappoint Andy by failing the vegetarian thing again and Bob gets caught up in it." And Bob's kind of dubious about the whole thing because well, dude, meat is ~~murder~~ tasty, but like, Patrick's a nice guy! And he ~~cooks~~ microwaves stuff for the both of them and that Quorn not-really-chicken stuff isn't so bad and then Frankie gets all gleeful about it and sometimes Andy makes them baked beans. They all look so happy when he eats with them that it's like this totally awesome reward and so he doesn't mind the lack of hamburgers or delicious delicious meat-laden pizza, right up until the night he's driving back to Patrick's place and he passes an In-N-Out and stronger men than he is have failed to resist the siren call of In-N-Out Burger and he stops and gets a double double and it's orgasmically good and he only feels a little bit guilty. But when he gets back, Patrick is like, "OH MY GOD, YOU HAD IN-N-OUT!" and Patrick looks all torn because mmmm tasty delicious In-N-Out vs Andy's Sad Sad Expression When He Finds Out Because Oh, He Will. And now Bob totally feels bad about it, because Andy has like superninja meat-detecting powers and he never says anything but he does totally have a Sad Sad Expression. Plus there is Frankie and he was SO EXCITED that finally someone else would join him on the vegetarian bandwagon. So Bob and Patrick then make a pact to never let them know and they seal the deal with ~~making out~~ grilled cheese sandwiches and french fries from In-N-Out. I really just liked typing In-N-Out a lot.

3) Timbaland introduces Patrick and Justin Timberlake. Hijinks ensue. Mostly in that way where Justin tries to be like, "Yeah, I totally hang out with Timbaland and Nelly and Pharrell." and he's kind of like, "Beat that, short dude from Chicago! I have street cred!" and Patrick's like, "That's really great! I mean. You know. Pharrell! Have you met Chad Hugo? Is he as awesome as he seems?" and then he kind of gestures vaguely and Justin's like, Hah, I win! and then Patrick says, "I'm supposed to go to Jay-Z's studio next week, I think. He's really nice." And Justin's like, "...oh." Because he's sure Jay-Z *is* a nice guy, but he's also pretty sure that he's never actually heard anyone use those two things in the same sentence before. And Patrick just keeps talking happily about that time Lupe Fiasco got on stage! at their concert! and it was SO COOL OMG! and the whole time Justin's like, "OMGWTF, is this guy fucking with my head?" but no, Patrick really is Just That Excited about it and he really does think Jay-Z is super nice and Patrick's at the 20 minute mark in talking about the Chicago Hip Hop Scene and how it's different from the New York one and of course, there's Atlanta and LA and dude, dude, Justin should *totally* jam with ?uestlove because he's FUCKING AMAZING. Justin can't tell whether or not he should be jealous or turned on or both.

I have totally run out of completely random and mundane stories I want to maybe write if I stop having stupid issues.

Beat It

I'm Like a Lawyer With the Why I'm Always Trying To Get You Off (Me and You)

Sugar, We're Going Down (the video gets weirdly out of sync with the audio)

This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race

One and Only/Dance Dance (NJ)

Clearly, Patrick is uncomfortable on stage! and doesn't ROCK OUT COMPLETELY or throw himself into what he's doing with enthusiasm. And man, Dance Dance live totally owns.

I Write Sins, Not Tragedies/This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race (NJ)

And um, seriously, how brilliant was it to make Arms Race a call/response song? Because it's a *great* way to get the audience participating. Well done, Patrick! Also, you can do that thing with your hips and the guitar anytime. Also, you can do the swaggering anytime. Really. And the screaming! that is also super!

Beat It (NJ)

'Cause that opening guitar riff on Patrick's part isn't hot or anything.

Sugar, We're Going Down (NJ)

I love how into it the audience is. So awesome!

Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy Tonight? (NJ)

A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" (NJ)

Don't Matter (Akon)/Ignition: Remix (R. Kelly) (Anaheim)

Hee. Pete is in anger management classes. He and Patrick can control their tempers together!

Boys Romping Onstage In Their Underwear while +44 does "Dammit" by Blink-182. Is it a cover if 2/3 of the original band is performing it? (Anaheim)

Nothing Compares 2 U (Prince)/Golden (Anaheim)

The video on that one is not super. But oh, Patrick.

Hum Hallelujah (in Moline?)

I still wish this were the third single released. *sigh*
