Basically, in some weird twist of fate, my best guy friend and I happen to buy the apartment/house next to none other than Joe Trohman! When we move in, I bring cookies to all the neighbors and Joe is home (surprisingly?). I introduce myself and give him the cookies and we have a nice conversation. Fast forward to several days later and he is sitting in my kitchen while I am baking something delightfully good because I so own at baking. He gets a text and it just so happens to be Pete! When my room mate gets home, all of Fall Out Boy is sitting at our kitchen bar, eating star-shaped cookies with home made green icing. Then it becomes a routine, whenever the boys are home they come over and have whatever I am baking at the particular moment. Soon nearly all of the Fueled by Ramen bands are involved and whenever they are in Chicago they come over because "everyone loves Ellie's food." There are dinner parties! We walk our dogs together! Then my room mate and I decide that "Hey! We should be having babies!" and the fantasy devolves into a pregnancy and Fall Out Boy and Co. call to check on the baby and just happen to be in town the day I go into labor and I end up naming the baby after Gabe Saporta, boy or girl. And we all have baked goods and my little family gets into concerts all the time and everyone lives happily ever after, the end.



... Ahahaha.

(I don't mind, hee! This is cuuuute.)

Gabe is totally proud that he's the namesake for little Gabe. Whenever I take little Gabe to a concert, Gabe totally totes him around and shows him off. Whenever Cobra Starship is in Chicago, Gabe always wants to take little Gabe to the zoo (Gabe swears the snakes are the most exciting, but little Gabe prefers giraffes).

I always picture Pete and Patrick as godfathers to baby Gabe. Pete's totally the doting godparent and Patrick has to balance him out and tell him "No, Pete, baby Gabe DOES NOT NEED that! Pete, are you listening to me? That stuffed bear is THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF HIM!" Joe is totally referred to as Uncle Joe and Andy as Aunt Andy just because it makes me giggle. Little Gabe spends quite a bit of time over at Joe's with the Fueled By Ramen guys, especially when the mister and I need some grown-up time, and little Gabe always has the best times with them. Andy lets him bang on his drums sometimes, but all the other guys have bets on what little Gabe will turn out to be or play. It won't occur to them that little Gabe might not be musically inclined! Brendon has $50 on singer and $55 on piano, but Spencer just rolls his eyes at Brendon's totally earnest face. Joe is secretly rooting for guitar, but it looks like little Gabe is leaning towards those drums.


(Haha, this totally went whoosh! away from me. I love it, haha.
