I should shut up about him but I don't want to

re: Matthew Gray Gubler from this article/interview

He has even reached that level of fame where he's the subject of a growing Internet rumor: that he's the basis for the Killers' song "Mr. Brightside," in which frontman Brandon Flowers sings about watching another man seduce his girl. Gubler, who's working with a mutual friend on a small project for the band, says that claim "blew my mind," but it's not true.

"I don't think so, anyway. I haven't really asked Brandon about it," he says. "I think I'd rather not ask him about it."

"But," he adds in closing, "I am Roxanne from the Sting song."

OKAY, YOU WIN! I finally Wikipedia'd this person I don't know, so at least now I have a vague idea of who they are. ;)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. He's the most awesomest person. EVER.

Feel free to keep the MGG stuff coming. I adore him. The woman who plays Garcia has a blog on the CBS site, and sometimes she gives little tidbits of information about him and the rest of the cast. Like Matthew never wears matching socks and he likes to wear t-shirts that he's decorated himself.

\o/

According to him Matthew hasn't worn matching socks in 10 years and the one day he did, he sprained his ankle. For awhile on the show they used to make him wear matching socks over top of his mis-matched ones. :)

How is he even real? Incredibly adorable.

It's such a shame that the fanfic in the CM fandom is so very bad.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I've never even though to look for fanfic in that fandom, but yeah. I can imagine it sucking.

[ginnytonnick.livejournal.com]

The bulk of the gen fic is a random big bad kidnapping/raping/torturing Spencer, followed by pages of hand wringing and smarm by the rest of the team, and a paragraph of actual detective work or plot development.

If it's a slash fic, then the story is exactly the same as the gen fic, but Spencer gets over the kidnap/rape/torture through the healing power of someone's cock.

Spencer is always written as a socially retarded six year old.

It makes me so, so sad.

Those sound horrible. Eugh.

Every time you post about him I have to look twice because I keep reading his name as Matthew Gay Rubber on the first try. I don't know how. D:

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaa.

[burnfor.livejournal.com]

So. I finally IMDBd him after going Grubby who? every time.

So cute! *smishes* His sock thing sounds awesome.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

He really is the best.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Haha, WIN!

No, don't shut up, these posts make me laugh.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. But alas, I think I'm out of Gubler stuff.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Did you see him on last night's Criminal Minds? There wasn't enough Reid but the little there was, I liked.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I did ... though really I don't remember much of what happened. :/

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

There was something about a serial killer. And children. *has just described every single episode of CM*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Ahahahah. Oh, right right. Now I remember. :p
