In other news, am trying to decide which is worse - hearing the truth (as things are right now with Pete) or being told "we're on hiatus" for far too long (you know who you are, boyband of broken promises).

Either way, I'll just always be grateful for Folie a Deux. It came out of nowhere, with them being all secretive about working on it, when I'd been preparing myself for a long break after finally getting into the band. And it's awesome. And while it isn't the last track on the album, "What a Catch, Donnie" is such a beautiful farewell to the group, that I think I've been preparing myself for this news since I first heard it.

And I'll be grateful that I've seen them live three times, plus accidentally turned into lobby-stalking fans with friends (but fuck FOB, we were there first) and danced in a park while listening to them play onboard a Navy vessel across the bay from us.

I'm not omgwtf? shocked like with Panic, mostly because that was just so much more bizarre. I'm still surprised sometimes when I think of it.

We were there first! I'm extremely thankful for that tour because it was wonderful and I'm glad we got to see them.

I think I preferred the unnamed boyband's lie because it gave me time to slowly stop caring.

They were stalking us!

It was an awesome tour, and despite respecting Pete, I'm not entirely sure I believe him 100%. People who loathe each other have eventually reunited :)

I should add a PS that I'm sort of in denial that this really is the end.

[preachelectric]

Yeah, plus it is Pete and quite possibly just the mood he's in today.

Hiatus is such a nasty, nasty word. *sigh*

I am not shocked about this one - Panic was a shock, wasn't it?
I am actually most worried about having to deal with blogs from Pete about missing the band, but not being able to have it. He does emo better than anyone. And I don't think my heart can take it.

Poor FOB and us.

I'm glad I got the chance to see them too.

That's what Pete was talking about on Twitter? I didn't know what the hell he was talking about but then I rarely do. Someday I won't be lost about 90% of the time.

Also, I'm never joining another already-in-progress fandom. Apparently I kill them. :(

ditto. I was grateful for the lies, because they let us still enjoy ourselves and anticipate until, like you said, it didn't seem as important anymore.

Exactly.

Actually, I think it's the combo of you and I. Or maybe it's just me. What the hell?! I don't have the energy for another fandom - I just got into this one!

I know, right? We were having a drink in the lobby, damnit!

fucking bands, don't they know that fans need a break from being 'on' all the time. dammit, we need some privacy too!

We're people! It's tiring chasing them around all the time!
