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!
Since this was my idea, Tessie and Trixie insisted I go first. The hat I chose to premiere our new website feature is a winter woolen in my favorite color…red!! 
Jeez! I can’t believe I’m writing something with the title Go, Dog, Go! But Tillie convinced me and and Trixie to read this book, so here we are. I wasn’t really on board with this idea at first, but when I saw that it was a picture book for CHILDREN, and there weren’t any REAL dogs in the book, I decided maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. 
First, towards the end of the book, all the dogs go to bed in this HUGE bed. I’ve never seen a bed that big before! And near one end of the bed, there’s this one little dog who’s not sleeping. His eyes are wide open and…and I’m not really sure, but I think he looks…afraid. I don’t like to think of what a dog might have to be afraid of. Maybe wolves? Maybe he’s afraid if he goes to sleep the wolves will come in and get him?
recently sat down and watched while The People were away for the day) when Iron Man says “I’m bringing the party to you,” and Black Widow sees the huge alien monsters coming in the sky and says, “I fail to see how this is a party.” Well, I kind of felt the same way. 
This is the part of the book Tillie really liked, and she wants us to do something like this. Miss Chrissy has been buying us a lot of clothes, and she’s bought us a bunch of hats, and some of them are really cute, and some are pretty. So we’d like to show you our hats, and we’re going to call this “Do You Like My Hat?” Look for it on the side of the page, coming soon.
Trixie. Ooh! Ooh! I would love to see Nick Fury!
Hi, everyone! This is Tillie. Now it’s my turn! I have so many things to say about our lives here in Whimsieville, but I would be remiss if I didn’t start by telling you all about Mr. Squee the Dog Catcher.
books that have dogs in them. (In fact, I have an upcoming feature for this Website that has a little something to do with dogs, and I’m hoping to get that going in just a few days now.)
wouldn’t just lay around like a lump on a log all the time. She also told us that Mr. Squee is exceptionally fond of CATNIP, so we worked out a plan with Mr. Squee that if he keeps his eyes open for dogs and protects us in case any get into Whimsieville, we will make sure that he gets at least one serving of catnip per day.
good, that soon they began to believe that the reason why there are no dogs in Whimsieville is BECAUSE Mr. Squee is doing such a grand job as Dog Catcher.
jabbering. All of the sudden we heard something that sounded like a…a HOWLING!! It could have been a dog! It could have been a WOLF!!! ARGGGH!!! Oh no, not a wolf!!
So I’ve searched the bookshelves of Our People, and have found this wonderful little book called Go, Dog, Go. It’s all about dogs, but it’s a CHILDREN’S book, so it is not scary. I’m hoping that some time soon I can get Tess and Trix to sit down with me and we all read this book together.
