"Believers Never Die"

Fall Out Boy delivers a greatest hits album that is sure to please fans.

Our Rating: A-

Written by Caitie Beth Shauck, Promotions Manager

Shortly after news broke out of Fall Out Boy’s plans to take a break, the band announced the release of a greatest hits album.

“Believers Never Die – Greatest Hits” has all of Fall Out Boy’s hit singles. It is a great album for listeners who want to get a sampling of Fall Out Boy songs. It includes radio hits like “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down” and “Thnks fr th Mmrs” in addition to fan favorites “Saturday” and “What a Catch, Donnie.”

Most Fall Out Boy fans will already own almost all of the songs. However, one new song included is “Alpha Dog.” The song is a re-written version of “ALPHAdog and OMEGAlomaniac,” which was originally released on the “Welcome to the New Administration” mixtape in November 2008. Although this is not the band’s strongest, it is a catchy song with clever lyrics.

Also included are three bonus tracks. One of the bonus tracks, “From Now On We’re Enemies,” is a new song that is a definite throwback to their earlier material. Lyrically, it is a classic Fall Out Boy song, with wordplay running rampant.

Ship Leave by _seven_crows. ST:XI, PG-13, gen, about 25,000. Two years after embarking on her maiden voyage, the Enterprise returns to Earth for some holiday-season shore leave after a typical mission-gone-wrong. Then things go wronger. Or, as I prefer to think of it, "In which Kirk and his mom save the day." There should be more fic about Kirk and his mom saving the day. I love Kirk in this one, and the characterization of all the folks involved being so very competent and clever and good at their jobs. I enjoyed this story very much.

I have fallen into a Star Trek XI fic frenzy again. NEED MORE LONG ADVENTURY MISSION FICS, PLZ.

I am sleepy but cheerful. I went for another five mile hike today - okay, technically, it was the same five mile hike, but we did it again - and did quite a bit of writing and had tasty tasty pizza for lunch. Now I am reading fic and warming my feet under a nice down blanket. And tomorrow I get to go see krisomniac! HEY KRIS I AM COMING TO GET YOU. YOU BETTER OPEN THE WINE WATCH OUT. Vacation = win. \o/

OMG I can officially use a Christmas icon now!

Have some doodles I did in PS the other day...


I think I might try and find a Mac friendly version of Sketchbook Pro...because I've seen a lot of folks use it and it seems like a lot of fun! Of course it will probably blow my resolution to do more colored illustration-y work out of the water, but we weren't making much headway with that anyway.. ;)

OMG Thanksgiving was SO GOOD! But now I'm back home and feeling fat and lazy..which isn't the best for freelance or dieting..oh wells! ;)

You know what? I have something to say to New York state and every person tonight who is cheering and not crying.

I am not an abomination. I am not a sinner.

I am not a threat to national security.

I am not tearing apart the fabric of civilization.

I do not want you or your children.

I am not destroying the foundation of your religion.

Do you want to know what I am?

I'm a child and a sibling. I'm a college student. I'm a reader and a writer. I'm a knitter. I'm a fantasy nerd and a sci fi geek. I'm a loner. I'm an activist. I'm a thinker and a dreamer.

I'm a transboy. I'm a queer. I aspire to someday find someone who makes me happy and who I make happy and to marry them in the eyes of whatever governments and gods happen to be watching.

I am a human being.

And tonight I am a second class citizen again.

So take this night, if you must. Take it and cheer and celebrate. Assure yourselves that you've won a victory for moral rightness, religious certainty, and the American way. Treasure this night.

Because tomorrow morning? I and every other gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, transsexual, and queer on the planet will still be here.

We aren't going anywhere. And we are going to make sure this is the last night you have.

Salutations!
Now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, I must welcome all of you who have befriended us, The Damned Things.

This will be the best place to find out any and all information on the band, at least for the time being. Look out for song teasers and what not relatively soon.

Thanks again guys! Your zeal and support makes us infinitely excited to get moving on this. More to come...

Joe

Thank you, ditchwitchbitch!

Mod note: I am the worst person ever about checking myspace. My brother occasionally thinks I'm dead levels of bad at checking myspace. 

In case you’ve been visiting another planet for the last decade, Pete Wentz is the sexy bass player and lyricist for Fall Out Boy. He started his own clothing line called Clandestine Industries in 2004, with inspiration from his first fictional book “The Boy With A Thorn In His Side.” Great musician? Check. Author? Check. Fashionable? Check. Wow – could we ask for anything more?

We asked the designer/dreamboat some questions about Clandestine, style, and what’s next for Fall Out Boy. Check it out:

YMI: What inspired you to start the Clandestine Industries clothing line?

Pete: Bad dreams kept me up. I started playing around with bleach and scissors in my parents basement. I started getting asked “where do i get one of those” and I’d respond “ah i only made one.” Then we started making more… It’s the American dream.

YMI: Has parenthood affected your personal style?

Pete: I have this shirt that is bright yellow and from like the 70s with a bee on it saying “im so happy i could shit”. It’s one of my favorite shirts, but i try not to wear it with Bronx…like in case he’s super baby smart and can read it. Also I don’t try to have me and him dress exactly alike- even though that’s what I promised myself I would do after I saw the “Just the two of us” Will Smith video. It’s different in real life, unfortunately.

Title: Relearning How to Breathe
Author: arctic_grey
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Jon/Spencer (+ background and past pairings)
POV: 3rd, switches between Jon and Spencer
Word count: 71,000
Summary: When Spencer realises that his morally questionable supply closet incident has left him pregnant with his boss’s child, he tries to stay positive. Jon’s entire future gets rearranged upon receiving the news, but they decide to raise the child together even if they are strangers. Friends, vegans, clashing social classes and opinions make the following months a chaotic swirl during which the two men realise that maybe neither one of them wants what they thought they did.
Disclaimer: Not real. Except the bit about veganism + carbon foot print. Totez true.
Beta: uqangela, who endured the crazy schedule and me. Thank you so much for your help and cheerleading! You did a huge job with this, and I’m forever grateful. <3
Warnings: mpreg in a world where it is nothing out of the ordinary. Sex with a pregnant man. Some self-indulgency on my part. A slight sex pollen moment halfway through. Oh, and a Brent Wilson cameo (does that warrant a warning?).
Author Notes: I wanted to write something for the joncerjumpstart + I wanted to explore the world of mpreg again = this story. Although, to be fair, I didn’t realise that wanting Jon to knock up Spencer with his incredibly potent sperm would result in something this lengthy, but who was I to argue with my overly excited brain? Thanks to holycloud who was there every step of the way, from conception to hormonal storms and finally at birth itself, holding my hand as I tried not to panic, giving me suggestions and feedback, being generally awesome and telling me to write her mpreg already, which I clearly did! This story is as much hers as it is mine. Also thanks to watchingthe_sky and spazzyskittles for helping me out with some details! And as my flisters know, I’m plotting a Ryan/Brendon sequel for this, which will hopefully be written at some point. So if you feel like their tale doesn’t come to a conclusion here, it’s because I have plans to conclude it elsewhere! Hope you enjoy the story! xxx

Let it be known that I really really really do not approve of following links to monstrously epic thirty-plus chapter stories that are well-written and engaging and awesome in every way except for the fact that they are UNFINISHED WORKS-IN-PROGRESS UPDATED WHENEVER THE FUCK THE AUTHOR FEELS LIKE IT, OR MAYBE NEVER, and at no point - not in the multiple glowing recommendations, not at the beginning of the story, not in the author's notes, nowhere did anybody indicate this was the case.

People! Rec WIPs if you must! Write them too! Have fun! Have fun for thirty chapters! Whatever! Just make sure you tell potential readers about the incompleteness of the story! I was all set to rec this particular story with the most glowingly glowing words I know because I was enjoying it that much, but to read forty billion words before learning the story has no end, and may never have an end, pissed me off so much I now want to anti-rec it out of spite and also stick my tongue out at the author. I really want to find out how it ends. >:(
