Like woah. I totally just got a copy of the story of ferdinand on dvd, I'm gonna burn it and try to put it online so you're pretty little eyes can see all about "from under the cork tree". Its so amazing.

Turn me on like a switch and off like a faucet. We had fun at bamboozled but we were definitely pissed off about all of the kids that weren't allowed in while we were playing. That's all on the fire marshall and staff their. We definitely told them things had to be different next year if we were gonna play.

Me and william from academy are probably gonna do this project next year, watch out for it.

Lately on the internet all I have been reading is how we're either gonna be the next big thing and save this kind of music or how we ruined it and our record is terrible. I personally think we fall somewhere in between. Its a lot of pressure either way and all we hope is that you check out the record for yourself and decide on your own.

We got a big tour were planning for the fall.

come on, get FUCT!

no we're not being mean or saying get laid... go out and grab our new record "from under the cork tree", it's out rigggght now.

what about when cartman has the tea party with: artemis clyde frog, polly prissy pants, and peter panda. pretty hilarious.

new jersey gave me some awesome closet secrets but it's new york that i'm just this in love with.

news about some stuff in the next day or so.

i love the way you type...

didn't you think it would be about time where it got to the point where people hated us just for the sake of it? i have so much to say about it but i am keeping it in. it's just not worth addressing every internet claim or review. no offense to your standards but i don't think you got the point of what we were doing. THE LYRICS and SONGS are a commentary on YOU. you are what is ruining music and what we love... we aren't writing summer songs and we aren't writing progressive music- we're calling you out- so when we're reading your IMs, we're laughing cause you didn't even get it. everything you read about us isn't true. i'm not saying everyone should love our record or us, that would be ridiculous. music is a very subjective thing. i understand that but your condescending bullshit and unnecessary harshness doesn't go unnoticed. we remember you and the way you can't ever say anything to our faces. what are you in it for? the music or the misery? thanks to the people who have stuck by us through thick and thin... you are our heart.

what would they say if they could see us now?

05/04/05 Q&A

question

does patrick want to only sing? because my husband is an amazing guitarist……..

answer

my husband (patrick) is an amazing guitarist too.

question

pete. being in love with your best friend: in or out in 2005?

answer

same sex, definitely in. opposite sex was like so 90’s.

May 11, 2005

a day in the life of the new york trip:

woken up today at 9 am by patrick and our publicist to do an interview for rollingstone. my throat is fucking wrecked. couldn't really talk in the interview.

joe and hurley go to get haircuts at some fancypants spot. patrick and i on the other had are content with looking like we haven't showered in a month.

pick up my sister and go over to NBC studios.

soundcheck and realize that no back ups will be going on tonight. i can barely sing regularly and mostly suck but can't even really talk.

soundcheck goes pretty badly. go back and hope that it goes alright.

run into matt dillon backstage. definitely comment on the movie "over thedge", dunno if he appreciated it. he said "punkrock huh? you sound like the pistols" i had to pee so i said "yeah kind of" and went to the bathroom.

change and our publicist tapes the hole in the crotch of my pants and says i will ruin the entire show if they rip. but i think a blur on conan would be pretty funny.

i gotta say this is one of the only times i have been nervous about performing. mostly because it was so unnatural. its not like a show at all, so that felt awkward. the rest went alright. i'm glad you guys make us feel so comfortable and all, its the only thing that makes it worth keeping on doing this.

home soon.

sorry for the lack of updates. got a writers block attatched to a chain around my neck.

question

Why did patrick suck balls on FUSE?

answer

that kid is my bestfriend, i don’t care if you’re a girl i’d still punch you in the mouth if you said that to my face. have a nice day.

05/14/05

question

hey peter!! if u or william ever need help getting those hott girls pants or tight shirts off im here.

answer

thanks, but i handle his shirts and he handles my pants. then we switch.

question

Pete, it seems as though you always go for the rude/aggressive/not-so-nice girls. Or that is how it seems to me. Forgive me if I am wrong. Why is that? Why dont you go for a girl that is nice and sweet, but can be aggressive when she needs to be?

answer

haha. woah. it seems like you’ve been looking through the keyhole in at my life. i go for girls that my heart/hips like.

question

just how much of your songs is based in fact and how much in fiction? are they all about things that actually happened?

answer

we don’t write fiction.

question

Hey Pete, Well I gotta be honest, i just recently became a Fall Out Boy fan, but better late than never i guess. Anywho, i live in wilmette like 3 houses down from you and our dads play golf together every sunday. What was your favorite thing to do as a kid growing up in this town?

answer

i liked fireworks and skateboarding.

question

lets just be honest here — how completely jealous are you that i just came home from seeing mars black, the faint, and BRIGHT EYES at the riviera???? gasp!! it was beyond fabulous!

answer

nope. im going tonight.

question

where, and who to did the guys lose their virginty?

answer

hahahahahahahaha. jesus.

question

one of my guy friends (which is ugly and fat) asked me out but i told him i was going out with one of my other guy friends, so i had to ask my guy friend to fake going out with me even though we arent. now my fat ugly guy friend hates me and all my friends that like my fake boyfriend hate me too. was this as wrong as i think it is?

answer

yes. honestly, the best bet is always honesty on this type of stuff. everyone is always one step away from being ugly and fat themselves so think about that before you completely crush someone else.

question

the song with no sexual lyric: nobody puts baby in the corner.

answer

yes. honestly, the best bet is always honesty on this type of stuff. everyone is always one step away from being ugly and fat themselves so think about that before you completely crush someone else.

question

the song with no sexual lyric: nobody puts baby in the corner.

answer

judges? “nothing comes as easy as you”- “can i lay in your bed all day”

question

i was watching the “saturday” video and i noticed that all of you were wearing red armbands. i was wondering of there was any significane to it?

answer

viva le revolucion. message two. more to follow.

question

Best piece of literature youve ever read? and… tell patrick he fucking rocks. he doesnt get enough positive attention on here for getting the kickass guy he is.

answer

the best piece of literature i ever read was this torn up zine about 3 years ago- its called “go on, get left at an altar”- absolutely amazing. trust me patrick gets alot of positive attention. we make a trophy for him every night at a show and then we sing “you are the champion of the world” when he walks onto the bus.

question

Push-up bras: in or out in 2005?

answer

out. work with what you got.

question

I think I found the innuendo free song. “Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year”, am I right?

answer

patrick says “or are we just going down” is technically sexual.

question

im confused. who has the bad twin pancho or bedussey? will pancho make a creepy yet awe inspiring cameo in the sequel?

answer

pancho is dead or gone, we’re not sure. he will not be in Bad Twin

question

Is the song without a sexual reference Ive Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth?

answer

“kisses on the necks of just friends” kinda sexy dont you think. like if my friend was say william beckett that would be really sexy.

question

my brother just ate all my funyons.. do i pound on him or let it slide?

answer

funyons are gross. he did you a favor, high five him.

question

Get busy living or get busy dying - Is the innuendo free song. But then theres - Ive got a dark alley and a bad idea.. but the just friends part can be seen as an innuendo, so I go with my first answer. Is it right or am i wrong twice?

answer

“tell me you like boys like me better in the dark lying on top of you” “im falling apart to songs about HIPS and hearts”

question

im also in a band from the suburbs of chicago….whats the secret to your success?

answer

never really considered us successful. we’re always a step from falling apart. i guess success is just a matter of perspective. get in the van, its your best bet.

question

its my birthday today and to be honest i miss the feeling of being excited about birthdays like when i was younger. my question is: whats the thing you miss most about being a “kid”.

answer

being carefree. not knowing what regret was.

question

do you think that your rising fame will result in you guys no longer playing intimate shows (Metro, HOB, etc) and not hanging out with us before/after shows or at other local shows like the KOC here at home in Chicago? PS: you guys should try to play at the KOC again (like The Academy Is… did in March) sometime - that show would be insane.

answer

its harder to play smaller shows now because they aren’t safe and because alot of people don’t get in- keep a look out though. we’ll be playing shows around chicago in small venues all next year under secret names.

question

Hey Peterpants. How come every time my bestest friend Anna puts you on our team in Oregon Trail, you die? Last time you drowned while we were trying to ford the river. It makes us very very sad. We cried like, ten times. Do you any suggestions for how we can keep you alive?

answer

we had to do like a simulated version of oregon trail called wagons west when i was in fourth grade with mr. kemp- and everyone in the class got married and had a family except me and andrew corcoran had to be cousins and he kept trying to give me hugs. we died in the winter anyway, i can’t say anything about it though. andrew kind of made me want to be dead.

question

so are you just trying to make us go crazy by saying theres a song with no sexual innuendo? cause you know we are all trying to figure out which one it is, but you know that there really isnt one.

answer

i think there are two

question

Is the song without a sexual reference Ive Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth?

answer

that rules. i agree.

you wake up but not really. in the bedroom you grew up in. it's the only place on this entire planet that is yours- the only place on the planet that understands you. it understands the way your nerves flare every time you think about talking to anyone- scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. it knows what turns that switch on and off and back on again. it understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "whats wrong"s and "you look tired"s. so the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. it understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. the way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "mr. misery"....

alot has been going on and not going on all at once. i went to the bright eyes show the other night expecting a near religious experience- possibly some connection. but i came away empty handed. i must say i winced when i realized that there wasn't an acoustic guitar in sight- though i was secretly hoping he'd play something off of "im wide awake", he stuck to his guns and played "digital ash" start to close. i then bought chuck's new book "haunted" and had a similiar experience- it felt watered down, kind of like reading stephen king rehashed over and over again. it scared me for a second, that maybe our new record feels like this to someone. more than anything i don't want to let you down. more than anything i hope that we are remembered for our sincerity, or not remembered at all.... there are big things in the air but i can't spill about them until i know for sure.

its funny the way i sit outside my house and there are seagulls overhead, but this far from the coast. it doesn't seem right. she said she would watch my troubles and worry so i wouldn't have to pack them and take them everywhere with me. and there's not a day that i don't think about dropping out and moving to the middle of nowhere cause sometimes it's just not fun anymore. and only YOU make it at all worth it. all clubs and contests aside i lie awake nervous as hell waiting for the dream to end. and sometimes i spill all the pills out on the tiled floor and sit there and think about the sweat dripping the makeup off of your faces and thats all there is. always. i know this probably isn't making sense but this is how i spend most of my days, far from the person i am supposed to be. in between all of the hooks and the screams- the right clothes and our eyes darkened just to the right shade- there is a boy who just doesn't fit in. but if it weren't for this place we have made, i don't know where i would be. i just wanted you to know you have our hearts.

i recieved this email a couple of days ago and have been being asked everyday since:

“There are flyers all over…and posted on MySpace sites…promoting a benefit show at Bethel Church in Palatine, hosted by Stereo Therapy Records. ( www.stereotherapyrecords.com)

Listed as playing…

American Homecoming

Breaking Back

Dear Me, Dear You

Just Left

Marty McFly

Second Star

Lost On 53

Mystery Guest

Then at the bottom are pictures of all the bands…including Fall Out Boy.

Then a kid in one of those bands asked me if you could sell out the place.

It holds 400.

Then another kid in one of the bands playing is telling people that you guys confirmed several days ago.

So are you playing it?

If not, they have definitely been using your image to promote the show on flyers and on their website, hinting that you will be playing.

April 25, 2005

"Hey stellas and stellers, I hope your week has been treating you well. I miss you all. The May 28th show at the Bethel Lutheran Church in Palatine has been confirmed. Go to the events for more information. We will have a special guest closing the show, and trust me, you will not want to miss it.”“

we are NOT playing this show, we will be out of town. we will not begin playing secret shows until after the fall next year and they will all be benefit shows…. we are all for supporting the local scene but at the same time do not want you to be suprised when we do not show up. please support local bands because they deserve it.

May 24, 2005

hey. things havebeen kind of hectic lately.

i just wanted to let you guys know my opinion on whats going on with FOB and all.

"we're the kids you used to love, then we grew old"

first of all, with us being on TRL and all. i have loved bands growing up- there are so many bands that i kept in my back pocket and began hating them when they grew up and got bigger. at first i told everyone i knew "i cant believe you havent heard of savestheday/lifetime/quicksand" then when i started seeing kids wearing the shirts and other kids at my school (that i didnt think were as cool as me) started talking about them- they stopped being cool to me, they stopped being my secret. being a part of this band has changed everything for me. when i was younger and i saw axl rose walk off the bus in the "welcome to the jungle video" i was like holy fuck- i want to be him. you have to believe me when i tell you this band was never supposed to get where it has- those who were there in the beginning know that- we were terrible, it was just something fun for us to do (if you dont believe me go try and find our demo and listen to it). but before we are in a band- WE ARE FANS OF MUSIC. most of the music out there on trl or the radio is complete shit to me- thats why when bands like: blink, new found, thursday, or taking back sunday get played or are on TRL- i loved it. id rather see a tbs or nfg video than a little jon or mariah carrey one any day of the week, and hopefully a couple of you feel that way about "sugar we're going down". they represent sincere music to me. it was like they were the flag that represented our scene and what we were doing- and everything we believed in. it made me smile to see- i have met and or am friends with all of those bands and they are doing it for the right reasons.

that being said, we want to be out there at the forefront of it- representing our scene, representing the people who have always believed in us. i understand that growing pains suck and sometimes it's hard to deal with. but we will always be the same boring kids from the suburbs of chicago. we have NEVER played their game. we do what we want. when they tried to get us to shoot a video with "a swimming pool party, with hot girls and punk oriented kids dancing" we said FUCK NO, that was not fob. When they asked us to do a mall tour we said FUCK NO that is not fob. We've been asked out by countless bands that we don't respect (for how they treat their fans or how they portray themselves) and we've turned it down, even if it would have made us much bigger. We've been offered sponsorships by companies that we do not agree with and we've turned them down even though they offered us alot of money. this is what we believe in. we (you and us) own these songs and we wont let them be cheapened by shit like that. the only reason MTV is interested in playing a video as weird as antler boy is because you guys bought the hell out of the record the first week. that is all real. i sometimes pinch myself, cause it's so unbelievable. bands always say "we're not gonna change"- but the proof is in the pudding, come and find me on warped tour- we're ready to prove the wrong.

no matter what happens fob has always been blood,sweat,gas,tears,fights and love. it is our rushmore. it is what we want to be remembered for. thank you so much for what you give us. if it means half that much for you help us out and vote on trl (on the news page). if it doesn't at least maybe this will explain our thinking. who would have ever thought you would be able to see an FOB video on tv?

as ive gotten older ive realized that noone is born cool- everyone has some deep dark secret- a band that got them into it all- for me those bands are like defleppard and metallica- for others i am sure they are bands that people would call cheesy or whatever- but hopefully these bands open the door for you to check out other bands that you might not have heard of otherwise. so when i go on our messageboard and see someone asking a question and see an og fob fan say "why dont you fucking know that" or "check the fucking thread below" or "shut up" or whatever it makes me feel like shit. imagine if we treated newbie bands like that, some of you never would have heard of the academy is or gym class heroes (even though both of these bands are so great they would have gotten there eventually)... so please try and be understanding- we love our oldest fans, you mean so much- and we'll always have cool stuff like the secret order of fob and secret shows, so don't worry.

anyway. i'm rambling and this probably doesnt make much sense. but ive been there before and just kinda wanted to explain some of my/our thoughts.

last night i saw my world explode.

May 26, 2005

Its not me, its you

The (after)life(r) of the party

Blow out the candles

And try to forget another year of favors (and how long its gonna take to repay them)

And sleeping in between cities

Im up to the hips with dreams

We’re green and gold racing towards 6 am

Who was me last night?

“slow down pretty boy”

but youre just not keeping up

and I never told you the way I love how you sleep in your make up

its not romance but itll have to do

would it be forward of me to say im the best youll (n)ever have

and dollface dreams are just something that get in the way of giving in

broken down not broken out

im only good for a couple of hours on your couch,

hand down the front of your pants or maybe for a story or two

im a stitch away from making it

and a scar away from falling apart

full moon pills got me out on the streets at night

watch me transform in the moonlight

I watch you work the room

Knowing that its their smiles and clinking drinks at cocktail hour

But its always me at this time of night

Hips pressed close to mine – true blue

The way they talk about you aint even close

Envelopes postmarked to nowhere

Vacant baby

Im checking out

failure never looked so pretty

Line em up, flashes across the room in red

Kiss me electric

Leave my best days in memories

And my bestlines closed tight in books

Keep the lights off so I cant see your tears

She said “we should move somewhere deep in the middle of july”

And I replied “dream me up something better than me and you”

05/26/05 Q&A

question

Someone on a fall out boy group on Myspace is saying patrick has a myspace profile.But everyone is saying its fake becuse you dont even have one and you would be the first one to have one.So is it true that Patrick has one or is the profile just dead fake.

answer

patrick does not have a myspace profile. he thinks the internet is the name of a taking back sunday song.
