i know you can't stand my wandering hands

I could probably speak all poetically but right now it's simple what I guess I need to say. Today I was watching the I Don't Care video and hit me. Everything has changed so much. This little bit of obviousness was brought to my attention was brought out after I got finished watching it and decided to watch Grand Theft Autumn and Sugar We're Going Down. I got teary, even, becuase we've all grown so much. I can remember thinking listening to Take This To Your Grave was so hardcore and stuff. Now it's a record that means so much to me that I can't really put it to words. I hope I don't sound like some stupid fangirl right now, it just makes me a bit emotional because, blahblahblah the band made me who I am. Not in some heart touching-saved-my-life way, but in a way where if I didn't start listening to Fall Out Boy, I would've walked down a completely different path. They opened me up to so much more music and opportunities that I wouldn't have found if I hadn't started supporting them and going to shows. I wouldn't have the best friends I do now because I wouldn't have been able to start a conversation with all the common interests we have. Looking at my boys now, they've grown so much since back then that it's crazy. Some ways good, some ways bad. I feel guilty, too, because they've done so much for me with out even knowing it; opening me up to great music, letting me meet amazing people; and I don't even listen to them that frequently anymore. So thanks for everything, guys, this sounds so cheesy and I feel like a fangirl but you really have done a lot more than make great music.
