Hi, everyone! This is Tessie again. A little while ago Trixie told you all about her crush on Thor, and I like Thor too, of course, but I wouldn’t say I have a CRUSH on him. I mean, he’s not even a real person, so how can you have a crush on him? Trixie’s funny like that. She lives in a fantasy world a lot of the time. It’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there on a constant basis. Mostly, I like to come out into the real world and take a look around at some of the REAL boys that are available to have a crush on.
So that’s why I’m here now, to tell you all about a boy I think is super cute. Actually, he’s not so much of a boy anymore, since he was a teenager when he started making music for over ten years, and technically nobody gets to be a boy for THAT long…though he still IS a boy, because he’s part of the group… Fall Out Boy!
No, I am NOT talking about Pete Wenz. I know a lot of girls think he’s really cute, and in a way he is, but I don’t really like his attitude. If you ask me, most of the time he acts like he’s so FULL OF HIMSELF (if you know what I mean). Uck! That is not attractive at all!
No, instead, I like Patrick Stump, the lead singer of Fall Out Boy. He writes most of their music AND he’s a terrific singer, his voice is SO beautiful! I could just listen to his voice all day long.
I especially like him in some of the FOB (that’s short for “Fall Out Boy”) videos on You Tube. If you’ve never seen him singing, you should check him out in videos like this one, Sugar We’re Going Down (which actually has a really funny but meaningful story to it).
Go ahead and watch it! It’s really fun! Patrick is the lead singer, in the blue shirt, and the first time I saw this video I thought “Oh! He has so much energy!” It think that’s what I first liked about him, all that energy.
And then I liked him in this video for the FOB song, America’s Suitehearts,
Wow! What a crazy feast of colors and wild and weird images! Patrick is the one in yellow. He looks good, but I do have to admit, Pete’s costume in this one, with the teeth and the collar, is exceptionally good. How do they come up with this stuff?
Anyway, getting back to Patrick…just take a look at all these pictures! He is so cute, isn’t he? (And I love that he always wears a hat!)
But here’s a funny thing about Patrick (at least it seems this way to me). Sometimes he looks really really cute, so cute I almost can’t stand it. But then there are other pictures of him where he doesn’t look good at all. You see, a long time ago he was really pudgy. A little pudge is cute, but too pudgy is just FAT, and that doesn’t look good on anyone. (I don’t want to show you any picture of him when he’s fat, because I only want you to see how cute he is.)
Then, when Fall Out Boy split up, he lost a lot of weight…I mean a LOT of weight, and he did some silly thing with his hair where it’s super-duper blonde, and sticking straight up, and you know what? He doesn’t even look like himself at all!
When you look at all his pictures, it’s sort of like he’s three different people. But wait! Let me take this one step further: he kind of reminds me of The Three Bears. You know the story: the porridge is too hot, the 
porridge is too cold….but then there’s porridge that is JUST RIGHT…Sometimes Patrick looks too fat, and sometimes he looks too skinny…but sometimes, he’s just in between…JUST RIGHT… and that’s the best. And he looks so cute.
And he’s a talented songwriter too. And a terrific singer. But I mentioned all that already, didn’t I?Miss Chrissy has all the Fallout Boy CD’s, including their new one from when the band just got back together, and there are some super great songs on those CD’s, and also some really cute pictures of all the guys in the band. This one here is my favorite picture of Patrick. It’s from their CD, Infinity on High. He looks so dreamy…don’t you think?
Sigh…
Well, anyway, like I said, he’s not really a boy anymore, I think he’s almost THIRTY and that’s ANCIENT!!! Back in the 1960’s (where us Whimsies are from) there was a saying “Never trust anyone over thirty.” Well, I beg to differ. There are many people over thirty who are totally worth trusting. (Don’t believe everything that came out of the ‘60’s!) And I will always trust Patrick Stump with my heart, because he is so talented, and so cute.
Many many thanks to Miss Chrissy, for having Fall Out Boy music for us to listen to!
