Fandom Overload

revidSo I see I'm not the only person on my flist who is going to have to learn to deal with two fandoms simultaneously.
In the last 24 hours I've received awesome squee-inducing news in each of my two favorite obsessions.
GREEN DAY IS BACK! GREEN DAY IS BACK! GREEN DAY IS BACK!
I won't bother reposting the scans from the AP Magazine interview since most of my flist has already done so, but they are available over at Green Day Authority.
It's so good to see you boys! I can't wait to hear your new CD and see you in concert again. It's been four and a half years since you released American Idiot, the album that changed my life. First it got me interested in music again, then the search for information about you and the CD led me to LiveJournal, which in turn led me to a whole universe of friends, and music, and experiences that I never would have had otherwise. (I had never even heard the word "fandom" 3 years ago!) I will love this band forever for this.
And on the Queer as Folk front:
Damn you Gale Harold! You are giving me emotional whiplash! I can't take it anymore. I don't care how freaking gorgeous you are, or what a brilliant actor you are, you must stop torturing me.
But this time it's good news! While Gale's injuries have forced him to be written out of Desperate Housewives, he is well enough to do some voice-over work for up-coming episodes (I'm guessing phone calls to Susan), so they really do intend to bring him back when he is able. If the whiplash could stop now that I am more optimistic again, that would be A Good Thing. So Gale, honey, do me a favor? Sell your fucking motorcycle, OK? THX
Now it's time for me to finish packing for my vacation tomorrow, and finish cleaning the house. Have I mentioned that moving suuuuuuucks?
Adios amigas!

Once again, have a great time on your trip (how many times have I said goodbye now? LOL) and I'll continue sending good real estate vibes your way. =)

Date: 2008-11-22 08:44 pm (UTC)Someone needs to give me a note for the mister to excuse all the extra computer time. =)
Do those notes come in duplicate? 'Cause I have become an expert at wasting many many hours on the computer just surfing and having fun and being an idiot, and if our boys come back with some serious squeeworthy stuff, well - I'm just not sure there are that many hours in a day :)
And also - may I just say how beautiful Billie is? Yes, I think I will. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a FANTASTIC time on your vacation, doll!! *SMOOCHES* Have fun, be safe, and come back in one perfect piece! :)

Date: 2008-11-23 06:14 am (UTC)A day later and I'm still giddy as hell =:-]
By now you're well on your way down to Mexico.
With such great news beforehand should make for an even better trip.
I'm so happy to hear about Gale. That's wonderful.
Hope you have a faboo time and we'll pick back up with the squeeage when you return. I have another request for a second opinion about what my crazy imagination thinks it sees in one of the new pics. I've asked Barb to take a closer look as well.
*smooches*
