10 Reasons Why The Jonas Brothers Should Never Have Covered A-ha

Okay before I start, I'd like to mention something.

Monday was, in the simplest terms, the greatest night of my life. It was amazing. So, now I'm getting this feeling that "it's" all "over". It's gotten me in many bad moods this week(And in deep thought about many things. With several things at the moment, I'm so annoyed and angry, that it's unbearable. I won't post here, because it will definantly offend quite a few people), and I was nearly screaming at some people during Spanish yesterday, so I haven't really been feeling in the mood of blogging. Now, I'm just hoping this will lift my spirits up a bit, though I really shouldn't be feeling this bad. I got a new iPod today, my Killers posters arrived(finally), it's a Saturday. And I've still got the concert in May, and posibly Muse sometime next year, and The Killers again in the summer. It's just that "over" that's hit me...So, let it be known, that nothing is "over", the tour continues with more possible dates, and there's YouTube, and a possibility of a cover album in 2010, only months after the Day And Age tour ends(Will they tour for this? They're really nice to their fans, and do loads of their shows so...here's hoping!). So nothing's over. Nothing! I'll still rave, and rant, and never stop...Because I love this band so much.

Onto the main point of this post....

10 Reasons Why The Jonas Brothers Never Should've Covered A-ha

1. If you're over the age of 14, or at least have a brain, you'll believe that The Jonas Brothers suck, correct? And A-ha are amazing...Those two don't really mix now, do they?

2. A-ha's single "Take On Me" is one of the most recognisable and well-loved songs of the 80s synthpop scene. When The Jonas Brothers covered it, it was only to be used at small venues in front of 13 year old girls, cheering The Jonas Brothers for a song which they believe is their own. No recognition to the original writers, by fans, simply because the fans won't know the original.

3. Or this song will be simply slapped onto a B-side album as filler between childish stories about what this band believes is "romance", and never to be played or admired again.

4. Genre-switching. A-ha is very very very pop. Pop, in everyway. Not childish pop, adult pop. But The Jonas Brothers turned it into what would be a nightmare for anyone familiar with the music scene of the original song...stupid childish pop-rock.

5. So The Jonas Brothers probably sat down one day...And decided to make a cover song because they ran out of relationships to write about. But of course, the singer still sings like a 12 year old, so they had to choose a song that would match the high pitch of his voice, and thus came Take On Me. Quite frankly, this is making a joke of the original singer's unaturaly high voice - Disgraceful.

6. Much like the Twilight-Muse phenomenon, this song could potentially, if a fan works out it's a cover, turn the fan onto A-ha. This should not, cannot, happen. NO WAY!

7. Because this song was so well known, it also features a well known synth-line of the time. Just ask a parent. Anyway, it is a crime to play that line on a guitar. That line must never leave a synthesizer. Idiots.

8. I doubt The Jonas brothers know anything about the band beyond that song. Just ask them and they'll say "It was in my mom's CD collection and I like it".

9. There's already a surplus of Jonas Brothers songs wandering the Earth, we don't need more!

10. It was the most awful cover song ever. Don't ever do such a thing again, Jonases. All I wanted was to look at the music video for "Take On Me", only to find you'd covered it. Thanks a lot.

Yeah...Die die die Jonases. Since The Jonas Brothers are going "out" thanks to Twilight, I thought your name would never have to be mentioned here. I don't like your music, but as long as the rabid fangirls are kept to a minimum, I'm fine. But this just had to be said.

Anyway, now that I've got that out of my system, I'd like to just mention a few things!

I got a new iPod today thanks to all the freezing, it's a Nano in green, it's lovely, and it's name is BRF. This one can hold videos, so I'll download all Killers videos later...

Thanks to all who voted in the poll! Wow, 17 votes! Muse won, The Beatles came in 2nd, and Coldplay came in 3rd! Other than the fact there were no Rolling Stone votes, that's about the outcome I excpected. But if I had my way, Muse would come 1st, then Kaiser Chiefs, then The Arctic Monkeys. And also, the non-English band is...*drum roll* Kings Of Leon! Kings of Leon are actualy from Tennessee, but, much like The Killers, are far more popular in the UK than the US! Once I come up with an idea, I'll be sure to post another poll. Thanks for voting!

My two Killers(Christmas presents...) posters arrived today! They're lovely! I have one repeat of my 1st one, and one of them as cowboys!

School isn't too great at the moment. I have to write a 4-page essay due Tuesday, that I haven't started yet, so I'm stressed. I also want to burn the two people I'm working with for my spanish group. Okay so...By nature, @'m stupidly paranoid. Especially about people. So when we're painting Big Ben(Bright red...For some reason) one of my partners comes out with "Naomi, go start the Shakespere book, me and *other girl's name* can do this ourselves". Put it this way, this girl never has a nice thing to say about anyone. Trust me, I know - It's all gossip and teasing behind peoples' backs. So, when she wants to, basically, get rid of you("You" being me, a school weirdo), then wouldn't you feel she wants to talk about you to the other girl? We got into a fight, and she came out with "We did our project on England so you could help us". Frankly, I never agreed to that. I never suggested England. This whole stupid world thinks that just because I'm English, I want my life to revolve around it. It's stupid, and I hate it with a passion. She can die too, I'm doing as I please with this project.

There's a new feature on The Victims where you can submit a question for The Killers, and they'll answer some in a video. It's awesome, but...What should I ask?

I just discovered Brandon swears in one of his songs! All this time, I've been miss-hearing. Actually, I really really like it. It makes hm seem sort of "rugged" and "macho". There's muscles behind the eyliner, girls!

That's it for now. A strong-worded post, full of hate and resentment...So that's me, being me.

Until sometime,

Best. Night. Of. My Life. Ever.

Wow...just...wow...oh my god...awesome...insane...incredible...Killer.

Yesterday. Boston, January 26th, The Killers came to the Agganis Arena. It was amazing, in every sense of the word. I knew it would be that way of course, but nonetheless, it was more fun than I'd ever had before in my life. It was...so good, I can't put it into words. I'll never forget it...Ever...ever...I loved every second. It was crazy. I loved it. Amazing.

To express my adoration for last night, I'll do a sort of...story of everything. But trust me, last night was so amazing, that I don't want to repeat the above paragraph much, because it won't do my feelings anywhere near justice. So, this is the best I'll do...But if you're thinking "She doesn't seem too rabid about it". You're wrong. It's just too hard to describe.

Before we start , I'd like to say a couple of slightly related things...

- I tried posting this very story on ACC earlier, and I went idle and the stupid site logged me out. So, I'm partly using this for refference for everyone who's asked me about the concert on ACC!
- Coco, that Killers blog post rocked! I love it!
- I made several people at school today jealous, and for that I apologize. Slightly.
- I do have pictures, but my camera sucks, and they're all very blurry and you can't tell what they are.
- This is the 62th post on this blog. Turn that around - 26. January 26th! Weird, huh?
- This does not mean I will shut up about this any time soon. I'll still rave, and rave about the concert in May!
- I wore my t-shirt to school today!
- Brandon, I love you.
- I'm really tired now, thanks Killers...!
- It was the best night of my life ever...

----------------------------------------

So on the day of the concert, the show was all I could think about all Day(And Age) long. It was crazy. And I loved it. I would no longer be a KCV(Killers Concert Virgin) after that night. It was surreal. If you just stop and think...The best people in the world are close by, you go crazy.

Okay, so we left at about five, got there for seven. My Ipod is broken, so I warmed up to a bit of "Sam's Town" in the car, for two hours. The arena itself is part of Boston University, so there were a lot of college kids around. I knew it was part of Boston University, so when I saw the first Boston University building...I went crazy. It turns out, when you're in that situation, Boston University is never-ending. It's like Pi...(random), and I was just waiting to see a building like "Disney World...of Boston University" come up, it took that long. When we got to the arena, I remember we were on "Bling" and I was nearly crying. The parking lot was right under the arena, so it didn't require much walking...But the weird thing is, it turns out that nobody there, apart from two Victims(Go Victims!) had any Killers t-shirts. I was wearing my maroon Killers t-shirt(Longish story. I would have worn my Victims t-shirt, but my mom got me these maroon Converse that match the t-shirt exactly for Christmas, before she let me join The Victims. Oh, and guess what...Before we leave I ask her "Do I look okay?", as you do if there's a chance of meeting Brandon, and she says "I prefer the ther t-shirt"...Yeah, that's the sort of thing I wanted to hear before we were about to leave. Thanks, mom.) so I stood out a little bit.

There was, of course, Killers merchendise inside. Several t-shirts, a sweatshirt, posters, and...underwear. I got two t-shirts in the end. One(which I'm wearing today, proudly) is dark blue with the Day And Age CD cover on the front, and some of the first tour dates on the back, and a whie t-shirt with a picture of each member of the band in a colored rectangle on the front. I would have bought more, but those two t-shirts alone come to 60 dollars.

So, anyway, we find our seats. And trust me, they're good. we're the row closest to the stage, which made a huge part. We were one of the last rows, but that didn't matter, because you could still see the stage really, really well. We waited around ten minutes, and the warm-up band, M-83 started(M-83, coming soon to an uncool disco near you...) played a bit. They certainly were very talented, and sounded sort of like Depeche Mode...meets a bit of classic rock 'n' roll type thing. It was cool, and I loved the keyboardist/singer's voice. After 10 minutes, all their songs sounded the same though. But talented or not, it must be hard doing what they're doing. They were playing for about 5% of the audience, as very few people had arrived yet, not moving anyone at all. No screams, cheers, dancing, or anything. That's tough.

After that, there was another twenty or so minutes nbefore The Killers came on. I spent the time removing pictures from my camera and stuff...Getting anxious. And staring at the set. It was interesting actually...I screamed when the "K" synthesizer came out. They had rolled out a black and white tiger rug for the floor. And there were two "wings" on either side, so Brandon could wander closer to me. There was also a sparkly piano, and loads of palm trees everywhere...The theme was rainforest/tropical island, from what I could tell. I was on Mark's side, and I could see four or five bass guitars lined up. And then they came. They certainly came! Everyone screams, and stands up, and you see each member of the band run to their position on the stage. It's weird, more than anything else. You see YouTube videos of these guys everyday...And then they're actually there. I loved it, but it was insane.

They didn't give out pamphlets or anything for the show, so I can't remember the exact order, but we'll see how my memory does...

They opened with "Spaceman". 2nd best...Human would have been heaven, but stilll...HOORAH! Obviously, it's a little weird dancing with your parents right there, so it took me a while to get into it(But I was stuck with "the noose bleeds", who only knew half the songs, and weren't dancing. I looked odd). But I was singing the whole way through - Every word. Spaceman is definantly my favorite Killers song to play live, so it was a fantastic start to the evening.

The costumes were great! They were, basically, wearing exactly as they did in the "Human" music video, except Brandon's shirt was black, not white, with a black waist coat over that you could barely see. He did have his feathery jacket on him, but took it off during the 2nd song.

And also, the technical "stuff" of the evening was absolutely fantastic. There was a giant screen/backdrop, which played some amazing pictures...Like jumping bass amps during "Human". There was a bubble mchine, a confetti machine, a smoke machine...And a machine at the end that sent sparks into the air. The sound quality was absolutely perfection the whole way through, and there were plenty pof flashing lights and spot lights. This was a fantastic job on behalf The Agganis Arena, it was amazing!

The next song was "Losing Touch". Honestly, I would have preffered it later on in the singlist, but...Amazing. True darkness. Rock on(By the way, just as I was writitng that sentence, there was a call cancelling school tomorrow!) I recall Brandon saying something after that, along the lines of "Welcome to the show, and thanks to M-83". It was amazing to heare his voice!

From "Hot Fuss", they did Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine, Somebody Told Me, Smile Like You Mean it, Mr. Brightside, and All These Things That I've Done. Jenny came 2nd to last of all the songs. Usually, The Killers do a 3-song encore, which would mean Jenny was the last song, and I was annoyed that they hadn't done When You Were Young...But we were lucky and got a 4-song encore! Jenny was a great, but everyone(Band and audience) were tired at that point. But great job, and I love it when Brandon screams! He also kept shouting "BOSTON! BOSTON!", which was very sweet of him. Somebody Told Me was one of the first songs of the night...And, understandably, very impressive. Brandon swirled his fingers during the "just rushing around" line, with some vocal improvisation and foot stomping. This was probably my favorite of his "moves" of the night! Smile Like You Mean It came directly after Somebody Told Me, and this was when I truly got "into it" full force. Dave's solo peformance was amazing! All These Things That I've Done was the last song before the encore...And my legs hurt quite a lot at that time. Still, I danced. During the back screen, the words "Soul" and "Soldier" came up, and Brandon waved his microphone stand out to the audience, as if he was about to drop the stand to the crowd. But instead, loads and loads of confetti fell down from the ceiling! Mr. Brightside was the crowd favorite, understandably. The whole stage got dropped to a fiery red color, lights everywhere, me dancing like crazy...Best time of my life.



From Sam's Town, they performed Sam's Town, Bling, When You were Young, Read My Mind, For Reasons Unknown, and Bones. I like that mentality...Sam's Town got way worse reviews than Hot Fuss, so Brandon decides to play more songs from Sam's Town than from Hot Fuss. Cute! Sam's Town was, unfortunatly, a low point of the evening. It was a softer version, which for a fan is very beautiful, but if you're only there for a few hits, was boring. It was beautiful though...Branfdon and his sparkly piano. Bling was an unusal decision, being the least-known song of the night. No one ever pays any attention to this song, but its lyrics are definantly the best lyrics Brandon has ever done. This song is powerful enough to be put up between hits, and it was great! For Reasons Unknown was good, but because Brandon was playing bass he couldn't put much attention into his singing...But I got all freaked out at that point(Which I was doing during regular intervals of the show), and Bones was a great peformance also! Read My Mind was used somewhere in the middle, my mom's favorite, and they were playing the oh-so-amazing music video in the back screen in the background! Of course, When You Were Young was one of the best. It had to be there, it was simply amazing. Last song of the night, and going out with a bang. This was when the use of the fire spark machine came in handy during the end - It certainly was a sight!

Oddly, one of my favorite performances of the night was of Shadowplay. They gave it a sort of dancy, happy theme to a very dark song. It was lovely...With loads of flashing green lights everywhere! This was also my Dad's favorite.

Then they did everything from Day And Age, except A Dustland Fairytale(Boo hoo) and Goodnight, Travel Well. Human was great performance, and, as I vowed on The Victims, I copied Brandon when he did the "punch", and the "salute to devotion". This Is Your Life was a decent performance, but followed by I Can't Stay, which was quite honestly breathtaking. Live sax players rock out loud. The World We Live In was used as the first encore song, with a spinning Earth in the backdrop screen, and plenty of dancing. Neon Tiger was another favorite performance...Incredible. Incredible. Incredible. Ronnie started teasing us with his drumming!They brought down a black and white tiger backdrop for this!!! And Joy Ride was also very, very, very good...Breathaking. Astounding.

So, that was the songs. That dragged on a little bit, but I just wanted to give a rough representation of every song. During the encore, I got to edge closer to the stage because the men next to me had left already(Why on Earth do you go to a concert if you don't stay for all the songs?) which was great. The bubble machine was featured several times, and it really sent people crazy. At the end, Brandon threw some flowers, Ronnie threw some drumsticks, and Dave threw his pick.

As far as each member of the band goes, they all did great. Best of all, Mark was actually jumping up and down! If you know Mark...You'll know he never dances, he's too cool for that. Dave also wandered across the stage a lot. Ronnie was of course, a showman. The funniest part of the show was before Neon Tiger, he ran to the front so some of the crowd could touch his hands, and they pulled him in! Which led Brandon to say "Can we have our drummer back, please?" which was hilarious! He seriously is a great performer.

And Brandon did some talking with the crowd, as well as dropping some moves! And yes e was very, very cute yesterday. I was going crazy! I loved him! I wanted to...Er, yeah, I won't say. Anyway, the various things I can remember him saying were -

"Sing me a lullaby!"
"BOSTON BOSTON!"
"Come on!"
"Can we have our drummer back, please?"
"How's everyone doing tonight?"
"It's great to see so many people here tonight! Our family's getting bigger - it's a beautiful thing"
"Thanks to M-83, they're a great band!"
"Beautiful voices here in Boston!"
"Oh have you ever seen the lights? I have!"
"The next song is about all the good things in like. We're from Las Vegas, but for you it's about snow cones, or the first time you went skiing. But I don't think anyone wants to think about that right now, because it's so cold!"

And no throat problems!

So, great night? After watching a bit of the unpacking, we wandered around the arena to find where the band was coming out. We saw the group of buses, and there were about twenty other people there(A few had met the band before). So I whipped out my copy mof Day And Age and Sharpie and waited. There was one guy there who, it seems his soul purpose of the night was to see how many security guards would beat him up that night...He did the moonwalk, pretended to be press, shouted for Brandon Flowers, teased the guards...it was funny, but stupid. All that did was make the security guards more eager to turn us away. Anyway, I was the youngest person waiting, and I heard a group of girls say "Cute!". Followed by...A girl holding a flower she caught from being in the floor, say to me "Do you want this flower?" YES!!!!! A flower...that Brandon Flowers touched - A "Brandon Flowers flower"! Heck, yeah! I was happy, sure. Then, a man and girl came out(Family of a roadie, I'm guessing) and just gave me his back stage pass! Of course, it didn't work, but...I have a backstage pass!!! Once again, heck yeah! And then another girl thought I would be upset to be turned down(Which I was, sort of) offered me another flower!

That above paragraph was heaven. In the end, after an hour of waiting, the security guards told us to go away because the band ahd left, and it was too cold for them. Sure I was dissapointed, but I don't blame them. They're not used it. I came out with two t-shirts, two Brandon Flowers Flowers, and a backstage pass... How could I be upset? I did plenty of boasting and all that...And my mom is now comfortable with the idea of trying to meet them in May, so it's all good!

My parents dragged me away and we got back in the early hours of the morning...I'm tired, but it was so worth it. There's a review on The Boston Globe website if this point wasn't good enough for ya...

So...Best night of my life. This writing was extremely rushed, so I'll add to it later. But God...it was heaven on Earth. A night never to forget.

It's A Beautiful Day

It's a Beautiful day

Sky falls, you feel like

It's a Beautiful day

Don't let it get away[/songlyrics]

Hello! Today is the day! Today, my readers, will be the best day of my life to date. Today will be the greatest(More song lyrics). Remember that - I certainly won't forget! My hands are nearly shaking...Seriously. I've been freaking out all day. But more than anything...It feels...Weird. When you just think that at this time, the people you idolize more than anyone else in this World That We Live In(Song lyrics...) is in the same state as you, it feels weird. And good. Of course, very very good.

The Killers did a show at Madison Square Garden, NY, last night. Let me tell you, the song list was absolute perfection. Mr. Brightside, Smile Like You Mean it, All These Things That I've Done, Read My Mind, Human, a Dustland Fairytale...and even Bling(Confession of a King) was featured! Which is a great, but extremely under-rated song. With the best lyrics I've ever heard Brandon do ever. Here's hoping they do an equally amazing songlist tonight!

I could barely think straight all today. I told quite a few people about it...And when we were doing a team building activity today, our group had to think of what to name our group, and someone randomly suggested "The Killers". I swear, I had no input in this. Me being me, I'm taking this as being an "omen", or a sign saying "You will wait outside all night long in the cold, but you will meet The Killers". So, yeah...yay!

That's it for now. It's about 1 hour 45 minutes until I have to leave. I've picked out my outfit and everything already. It's about 2 hours there, and the show starts at 7:30, with a tribute band(They're called M-85, orsomething like that. I hear they're pretty good, but their songs sound similar) for about 1/2 an hour, then...THE KILLERS! With a small arena, the show should be great. Here's hoping there's no technical difficulties, or Brandon's voice hurting or him getting stage fright...it should be good!

I'll try to take pictures, and will, of course, tell you all about it tomorrow, in a lot of detail. Wish me luck! Next time we speak, I may have met the man I've rambled about for so long here.

A note to The Killers - Good luck! This might not be Nevada...But this is still the desert rain in which you get your glory(Sing lyrics, again)

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye!

I'm So Freakin' Excited!!!

Hi!

Okay, at this point and I'm about to explode with excitement. Seriously. It's concert eve! It feels amazing. Finally, after over a year of fangirling, I finally get to see them live, or meet them! I am, of course, going to bring my camera, and all four of my Killers CDs to sign. Should I get them to sign my t-shirt? I don't know. That means I won't be able to wash it because the ink will come off, so won't be able to wear it again, and I'll have to go back to Hot Topic to buy another maroon Killers t-shirt. Anyway, my seats are terrible and everything, so the pictures will be bad...But we'll see if I can get some decent ones to put up here. God, this is insane!

Not much else to say here today really, I'm just so freakin' excited! I went into Barnes and Noble yesterday, and discovered The Killers are in Spin Magazine and a drumming magazine. They're also in Q Magazine, but because it's English it hasn't arrived here yet. I've read both articles now...The drumming magazine one isn't too great. Obviously, because there's a lot of drumming lingo that I don't get. But the Spin Magazine...Wow, it's incredible. Best interview ever. For a start, there's like four big pictures of Brandon. One of them you get to see his bare feet. Which of course, rocks! The actual article...I love. A couple of things for The Brandon Flowers Wall of Quotes, I think. They talk about a lot of stuff...Music, influences, family, stuff like that. The best part is, I can't remember the exact quote, but he says something like "Pet Shop Boys's Neil Tennant said that I only grew a beard to prove that I'm more than just pop. So every time I shave, I put the hair in a bag, and I've been waiting for the opputunity to give it to him. It's quite a big bag".

Hey Brandon, do you think I could have that bag instead?

Tee-hee, I love Brandon. *fangirl giggle*

Thanks for voting on my poll, whoever the second person was, and Kayla! But nope, Keane are from Battle, Sussex, in the UK. So, they're not the American band! Good fguess though! I'd love whoever reads to vote, so thanks if you do.

*sigh* As much as I would love to continue writing here, I have a lot of homework left to do. I might add to this later or something, I don't know. Can I leave with some quotes, from each member of The Killers, for good luck?

I rocked my own socks off - Dave Keuning, guitarist

I've got pop in my blood. If you cut me open, a chorus will come out." - Brandon Flowers, lead singer

"We here for everybody.... from the kid with the cool haircut to the nerd with the giant calculator" - Ronnie Vannucci, drummer

Um...

This video[Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit] was the song that got me into rock music. Before that, I just thought "rock" was heavy metal bands like Poison - Mark Stoermer, bass

Yeah, that's it for now. I'm super excited for tomorrow...So wish me luck, and don't be surprised if I don't post tomorrow.

Freakin' excited!

Bye!

Getting This Out Of The Way Early

Hi,

Hey. So, I'm getting this out of the way early today. Because I love this blog so much(I'm obsessed...), I would normally spend all day trying to think of boring, but interesting to me, ideas to post about. But today...I just need to do this now. So don't be surprised if I start talking about pencils or something(I'm sure I'll think of something...). I have a lot of homework to do this weekend...Plus some homework that's due Tuesday, but I need to get it done now to have as little homework as possible on Monday(2 DAYS LEFT!!!). Homework I have to do - Finish a scale drawing of The Colosseum that's only half way done, get some ideas and information for my Spanish project, start and finish a 300-word essay, study loads for a Science quiz, and research, print out, and and finish a web and notes about The Colosseum for Social Studies. To other people, this might not seem like a lot, but to me this is a lot of homework. We barely get any homework at the moment, so this is torture.

Once again, I'm annoyed at my Dad, which s the norm in my life. But for a stupid reason. I get these stupid earges to listen to Muse all the time. Like, even if I love a band as much as Muse, I alwasy have random bursts to listen to a certain Muse CD. Certainly, it's odd, but it's pain when you want to listen to Black Holes And Revelations, when your Dad has taken the CD with him while he goes shopping. So, instead I'm listening to Absolution, which is a great album(Aposalypse Please, Time Is Running Out, Sing For Absolution, Hysteria, Butterflies and Hurricanes...) but it is no where near as good as Black Holes. Most people would agree with me when I say Black Holes is their best album., it's also their most recent one. And by most recent, I mean it was released three years ago. For some reason, it takes Muse twice as long to make an album as it takes any other band. I've never quite understood this. It might be because Matt moved to Italy...But it's not like their songs are much longer than anyone else's. I heard Matt wanted to make a 7-minute long song(Not a great idea, in my opinion) but he ruled that out. The big news when it comes to Muse(Did I just rhyme?) is the new album out in September. So finally, they're getting their brains together and writing some new material. I desperatly want to see Muse live. Simply because they're the most amazing live band at the moment. Most bands at the moment are awful. Sure, Muse don't smash their instruments or anything..But there's a lot of cool backgrounds, guitar and piano improvisation, interaction with the audience, and amazing light shows. Somehow, I feel that's more than the fake emo bands(Burn in hell, Fall Out Boy) can give us at the moment, don't you?

Other than spending all day today doing homework, I need to get a jacket and gloves for Monday. I somehow don't get too cold at this time of year, but my Mom has insisted that I get a good jacket and gloves if we want to waiy after to meet the boys. Whatever it takes to meet them, really.

Okay, now I need to apologize to The Killers, after yesterday's post. Thank you thank you tahnk you for getting the Spaceman video out yesterday! I love it. I love it. I love it way too much. They pick their producers very well...using Bones as an example, they had Tim Burton. This one, the producer/director(Ray Tintori, or something like that) is truly insane. I know he did a couple of MGMT(Good band, I'd recommend them) music videos, which really are insane. Spaceman had to be insane, really. Spaceman I think, is about a confused alien who just wishes to be accepted by us humans. The video is a giant pyramid thing, with loads of people dressed as aliens. Brandon's in a red, puffy costume. With makeup one. Which I love, 'cause he doesn't really do the whole guyliner thing any more. My favorite part is definantly the feathers at the shoulders. Again. I feel now, that he should have feathers on his shoulders for every DaA music video. It;s really, really tight fighting. Yay! Screw the Human jacket..I want him to wear that on Monday. I'll die of joy. Anyway, there's a lot of dancing, and some sort of buffet table which Brandon sits at, tapping his hands on to the drum beats. Then there's fire, and Webkinz, an feathers, and animal print everywhere, and Christmas trees, and rainbow people, and...It's amazing. My sister now loves thew video because of the Chihuahua Webkinz. Thr only bad thing is you see very little of Dave, Mark, nd Ronnie. I mean, there's this great shot of Dave...but not much else.

Okay, I'm adding another polll. This time - Best English band ever. I want to see what you guys think. There's some classics, legends, some more recent bands...Plus one band that isn't from England. If you can tell me who this is, without Google searching, I'll mention you in a post. Please vote!

That's it. I'm gonna add a picture...it's Bono(U2) and Brandon. I love it because what he's wearing is odd, and he's so happy because Bono is an idol, and he forget to shave that morning. Not that I like U2 very much though. But if you do, then enjoy.

Bye!

The Apocalypse Is Here!

The apocalypse is here!

Which means don't leave your house, say goodbye to your family and put "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" on repeat - We're all going to die! Why? Because I recognised and liked 2 songs played during lunch today at school...Yes, me - The girl who, in everybody else's eyes, is a hermit when it comes to modern music. Honestly, the music played wasn't the most popular music ever...They played two amazing songs; U2's "Beautiful Day", and Keane's"Everybody's Changing". Both great song, especially Beatufiul Day...Which is very...beautiful? And Keane was just a huge shock, considering no one here has heard of Keane. This certainly was a relief, I haven't heard either of those songs in a while. Although it was annoying...Can't the world shut up for a few minutes to listen to some good music?

Still on the music topic - Things are getting pretty bad around here. I'm actually playing my music out loud, which I don't do to much because my mom always tells me to turn it down really quiet, which is one reason why I love my iPod...So, I've listened to Weezer's "Blue Album" three or four times now. We're on the last song...Which I don't like very much. I need to buy some more CDs, 'cause I'm pretty bored with what I have now. I'll probably put Kaiser Chiefs's "Off With Their Heads" on next. Best. Album. Name. Ever.

Friday Friday Friday...Best day of the week. This week went by super fast, probably because I only had three days of school. This weekend however will be torture. With three days left...I really want this weekend to end now. For once, I want Monday to come. Come on weekend...Come and go, already!

My OCKD is flaring up really badly again. I made my friend jealous today with the news of my General Admission Killers tickets. Which is always...Interesting. We vowed that when we're 16, we'll have saved up some money, and we'll follow the boys on tour! I'm also sure I confused/disturbed some peole today...I was bored last night, and decided to write "Property of Mrs. Brightside" on a school notebook, in green sharpies(sharpies <3).> and the lyrics "Every time you fell and every time you tried, every foolish dream and every compromise, every word you spoke and everything you said, everything you left me rambles in my head..." from Goodnight, Travel Well on the back of my folder. Also, I had a dream featuring The Killers last night. I don't really understand it...Nothing "bad" happened. It was mostly about Dave, because Ronnie and Brandon were talking. I don't know where Mark was, he doesn't normally feature in my dreams. It was like Dave was my Dad or something...So, congrats to Dave for getting the main part in my dream. Normaly Brandon wins that.

This week in Math, we've been doing obsessivly acurate drawings of the buildings we're doing in our Social Studies/Math projects. I'm doing The Colleseum, which is annoying to draw. I already have a headache thanks to that. This project sucks...Other than that, there's not much to say about school. Science was amazingly boring today(We had a sub. Though that's not to say that our normal teacher is very interesting...Though my mind on that subject might change if he likes The Killers mix CD I gave him). The Social Studies project is coming along...Slowly. I'm once again practicing the art of doing as little work as possible to get a decent grade. One thing that I'm good at. LA has been...decent today. We were just doing some stuff on an article about the conflict in Gaza. And our Spanish project is total hell. I am not dressing as Shakespere, or actually working simply because I am English. Or helping to make a Big Ben costume out of pizza boxes...

I'm also slightly annoyed at The Killers right now. Well, not specifically The Killers, but rumours about The Killers...The rumour that the Spaceman video will be released today, to be exact. I came home, expecting to find a super amazingly funny Spaceman music video, and found nothing. Of course, I might be mistaken and it might come out later today, but so ar I am disspointed.

I guess something that I should have added to my list of human hates yesterday, but...

Before coming to update my blog today, I decided to look at ACC, and discovered a thread called "Cullen or Jonas?" made by some n00b girl. Of course, obsessing over The Jonas Brothers is totally out...But that's not what the Cullen fangirls thought. They still seem to be under the impresion that they're the unique ones. And that Jonas lovers are the cool, popular girls. Which, from an outsider who only has a heart only big enough for BRF(Brandon-Richard-Flowers. Remember that abbreviation), is completely false. I guess what I'm saying is, why do people think they are, or try to be, a minority, in terms of likes and dislikes? Any 12 year old who raves about Edward Cullen is clearly not a minority.

The same goes for music. Some people will enter a conversation about rap, and make a speech saying "Guys, I know this is weird...And you'll probably socially reject me from now on because this is so out of the ordinary...But, rap sucks. Live with it. My favorite band is called My Chemical Romance. Now, I know you probably have't heard of them before because they're not very popular. But that's just me, and if I'm too weird for you, then I'll live with it". Seriously, I've heard that sort of speech being made online countless times before.

A lot of the time, we hear the terms "weird" and "random" being thrown around like there's no tomorrow. So, these girls consider themselves so "weird", but when someone comes along who actually has likes and dislikes that are unique, they get made fun of, and the girl who considers herself "weird" will say that the other girl is "weird".

Do these "weird" girls actually know what the words of their personality that they boast so proudly mean? If you look up the term "weird", you'll find that the definition is typically "out of the ordinary". So, if you're just like everyone else...Then why do you consider yourself "weird"? So, you'll randomly shout "Pie!" for no apparent reason, and then giggle like you're retarded. This is what is typically considered the modern-day criteria for being weird...But, if you haven't noticed, everyone does exactly that. These people are typically in the middle, higher-middle, or lower-middle in the middle school hierachy. There are always people who are more socially outcast than the people who consider themselves weird. And it's not like they don't see that, it's always pretty obvious.

So, is being "werid" your ticket to more popularity and coolness? It seems so. Being weird is totally "in". If you like Hollister, love Edward cullen, and are into a lot of poppunk and hiphop music...Then you'll probably be considered to be "just following the trends". But, if you like Hollister, love Edward Cullen, and are into a lot of poppunk and hiphop music...But declare yourself to be "weird", then you're no longer just following what everyone else does, then you're different.

A lot of people like this consider themselves to be immature also. But, if 90% of the grade act the same way, then surely you're not immature, that's normal. And the people who act more maturely than everyone else are considered "normal", but they're actually the ones out of the ordinary - They're more mature than everyone else.

In our lifetime, in particular our middle school lifetime, we've all heard people be stereotyped, ourselves being stereotyped, and self-consciously stereotyping others. And most people don't like stereotypes and say they're simply for soup cans. So, when we see someone suddenly classify him/herself as being "emo", most people will label him/her as being a poser. Surely, constantly going on to people about being weird is no different! But in the eyes of most people, this isn't considered being a poser...But actually, it's exactly the same behavior. It might be because the weird people are the ones who do most of the stereotyping, teasing, and declaring who is and who isn't a "poser" at their stereotype, but it's stupid. I believe that being weird and random is in itself a stereotype. These people are generally the ones that can't be fitted into any other stereotypes(Jock, emo, goth, prep, geek, scene etc), which makes them unique. I've recently come to terms with the fact that, as much as we dislike it, steroetyping and labeling is human nature. It's just a system our brain uses to make deciding who we talk to easier. Even if you tell yourself that you never stereotype, you still always make first judgements of people, like it or not. Being weird, I would say is a stereotype. But those who always declare themselves to be so aren't weird. Being "weird", In my eyes, just means that others consider you different...Not that you consider yourself different. That goes for any stereotype. Anyone who considers themself a certain stereotype will definantly be labeled a poser. I've seriously heard some people declare themselves weird, even if they aren't random, or weird, or anything. Just normal 12 year olds, forgetting what "weird" actually means. Using a word that means "unique" just as everyone else does, to lose their individuality and fit in more.

So, I guess what I'm saying here is...I don't understand why being "weird" is a cool thing at the moment. No one really is weird, especially those who declare themselves to be so, and aren't actualy unique whatsoever. So, don't label yourself to be weird...Be yourself. Some people might consider you weird, but that's their problem. They're the ones pretending to be someone they clearly aren't. And don't classify yourself to be "weird" - You clearly aren't weird at all.

Yeah, peace and love to everyone. Though actually, hate to everyone is more realsitic.

Until tomorrow, readers.

CamaLambo's Guide Of How To Really Really Annoy Me

Hey,

So, I'm definantly not the most social person in the world...Actually, I'm pretty anti-social a lot of the time. Part of this being because there's a lot of things in people today that I can't stand. So, If you're asitting at the edge of your seat, just dying to find out how to make me tick...Then read on.


- Besure, at every time you see me, to scream at me "Purple hippos!", "Pie!", or anything that would be soncisdered "random". I hate it, that's all there is to it.
- After doing the following, you must follow it with "I'm so weird and random...You're probably really creeped out at me by now!". Of course, follow this up by some idiotic giggling and screaming. Frankly, there's nothing I hate more in the world than that. So, you think you're so random and weird? Well, if that's the case, then so is 90% of the middle school female population of this country. Yep, that makes you really "different", doesn't it?
- Ask me, in a layed back, casual tone, with your voice sliding up, "How's life?". It just...bugs me. Hard to explain.
- Tell me that my accent is "so awesome" or anything like that, or just any refference to my natinality - Posotive or negative. Trust me, it's annoying as hell. To really annoy me, you must say this repeatedly. Every day, at the minimum. Including stereotyping, accent impersonations, constant refferences, and downright disrespecting.
- Diss The Killers. Obvious.
- Diss Brandon Flowers. Once again, obvious. To annoy me, you have to insult him as much as pobbile, every single day. Most hurtful comments would be about his appearance, his music, his voice, his facial hair, his smell, his wife, his son, his clothes, his stage presence, and his sexuality. Or a combination if any of those, if you want to annoy me more.
- Say anything negative about my taste in music. Which means, coming up to me and trying to get me into Boys Like Girls, or some rapper. Or assuming that the music I listen to is 100% English. Or telling me that I would have more friends if I listened to more "normal" music. Or simply telling me that my taste in music sucks.
- Tell me what to do, at every possible moment. Yeah, that's obvious...But I seem to attract that sort of behaviour a lot, and I hate it. I'm not 2...I know my choices and decisions. So this includes, telling me all the time to put more effort into my school work(Raising my hands, doing my homework etc...), telling me what to wear, how to act, who to talk to, what to do. Aything like that will be annoying.
- Tell me you're a Killers fan, when you've actually only heard Mr. Brightside and When You Were Young. Yep, as any fan of any band in this situation will tell you, it's so annoying, if the person you're talking to has only heard the hits. You'll seriously bug me by doing this.
- Inform me of the album you bought on iTunes last night. Now, buying albums on iTunes is my biggest, random pet peeve in the world. It annoys me a lot...you have to do this if you want to annoy me.
- Constantly go on about how much you love fashion, when you're never wearing anything that isn't Abercrombie or Hollister. Yeah, understandable enough...You must do this a lot. And when you do, your outfit must consist of - A navy blue Abercrombie baby tee, a white Hollister tanktop underneath it, and an unnaturaly tight white Hollister hoodie, midwash skinny jeans, tan UGGs, too much mascara, loads of jewelry, and super super straight hair.
- Overuse sarcasm all the time. Come on...patronizing people is my job - You have to do it to me if you want to sucsesfully annoy me.
- Tell me that the music you listen to is "rock". This is another good technique. Any o bthe folling bands would be perfect to use this tecnique about - Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, The Academy Is, Panic at The Disco, The Jonas Brothers, Boys Like Girls, Plain White Ts, Metro Station, Death Cab For Cutie, Good Charlotte, All Time Low, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Paramore, Tokio Hotel, and Scouting For Girls.
- Make "emo" jokes - Another good technique. I am not emo, nor do I really use the "emo" stereotype, but it appears really shallow and pathetic to make jokes about people simply wearing a black t-shirt.
Annoy my friends. Yeah, that's obvious...
-Chatpseak, textlanguage, lol, rofl, and most importantly "I wuz here". I pity the n00b who writes any of this stuff anywhere near me, or on my school binders.
-Writing in bubbly, girly handwriting. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about...So, do it and you'll annoy me.
-Write one-sentence blogs. Yeah, that's basically all there is to that one...
- Interupt me while I'm writing a blog post. Do it do it do it!
-You're completely oblivious to you doing any of thes tuff I mentioned, and cntinue doing so tomorrow. Yeah, that's easy to do...

So, there you have it. The complete rule book to annoying me. Use it well, or not at all...It depends if you want to live or not.

That's it for tonight. School sucked today...As always. My projects stink, loads of people annoyed me, there was nothing for lunch, and Spanish was hell. Have a good day...Spaceman video hopefully coming out tomorrow, and just 4 days left!

Bye,

I'm Smiling Like I Mean It...Wait, I DO Mean It!

Hey there!

Today is such an amazing day, for most of it! Like, the best day ever...Since November 4th. No, that has nothing to do with Obama or anything...

The presale tickets for the Killers CT show came up on The Victims today! I harassed my mom all last night...And she said yes! I was so excited/anxious/paranoid all of today, I couldn't think straight. I was sort of having a bad day(You miss a day of school and it reminds you how much you hate that place...For me at least) I just wanted the day to end. My mom had to buy the tickets, because they opened up at 10am...And when he day(finally) ended, I found out she got us general admission floor tickets! So...it's going to be amazing! That is, if we get there super super super super super early, and get in the first few rows. That would rock...Being close to Brandon. I am SO excited, I can't contain it! And there's the show in 5 days, so all things Killer are pretty brilliant at the moment. I'll be sure to make as many people as possible jealous tomorrow, of course!!!

Okay, my OCKD(Obsessive Compulsive Killers Disorder) is flaring up badly again(More than normal!). Could The Killers be any more amazing live? It's crazy. I've been watching videos since I got home. I'm currently at a video in the UK, back in 2004. Mr Brightside...Brandon's cute, even if he's 23ish. You can see most of his arms, and his hair is long, and a little bit curly at the bottom.

I just watched the most amazing live video ever...The Killers, Mr. Brightside(of course). Look up "The Killers Reading And Leeds 2008" on YouTube, and you'll find it. It's incredible...Love his suit, love Dave in this video, love Ronnie's drumming, love his singing to the crowd. Especially at the second "It's killing me" he sings it...Starting high first, then getting lower, which is the opposite to what his voice does in the album version. It sounds amazing, and I really wish he had done that on the album version, because I would love Mr. Brightside a million times more. Aso, could Spaceman be any more fantastic live? If you love Brandon's voice, like I do, this is heaven. On the "'Cause I'm fine", I just fall in love with it, because his voice moves up quite a lot for just part of that one word, without gradually moving up, and then straight back down, and it's really quite clever and unique to their songs...So, yeah, Spaceman live please, Killers!

Now that I've got that out of my system...The rest of my day wasn't quite as great. I'm still really tired, for a start, and I've got a headache again. And then we get block classes. Even though this is getting more normal. and less boring, it's still hell. Science got boring...we're doing our forever-lasting slowmations, and we have 7 frames done, which is about 1/4 of what everyone else has done. If the idiot of a boy in my group hadn't been so picky about my continents for the Earth(Asia looks like a blob with a triange sticking out of the bottom...Yeah, how the heck do you want me to make it?! We're using clay, come on!) we wouldn't be in this mess. Also, my friend gave my science teacher his Killers CD thing...He says he hasn't listened to it yet, but I want him to REALLY BADLY. I feel like he should love their music...Fingers crossed. I don't want him hating the best band in the world. LA was worse than that...God, I hate that class so much. First, we're going around in science classes. I really really dislike my science class. Also, we had to write poetry once more, this time about our earliest memory...My earliest memory being me running through my back yard, wearing some sort of rainbow outfit. Yeah, how am I supposed to write a poem about that?...So, instead I made up some rubbish about going to my grandparents house. Then, we had to write like Dickens(Which suck at - Read a couple of weeks ago, that post...) and of course, he wanted me to read mine out loud. I denied, but a lot of the people around me, were trying to get me to go. We had to write about going to the party, the one that Scrooge's boss held, in the past. He just wanted something about how much fun it was, dancing, eating, singing, socalizing, flirting...yep, really sounds like me, doesn't it? Well, apart from the eating thing. It was hard to do, because writing about it being the best party ever isn't me at all. If I was there, I would stand in the corner, eat, think, get bored, then leave as soon as possible. Unless the musicians started playing Killers songs...But something about that seems pretty unlikely.

By the way, I bought a Family Guy episode for my mom's iPod last night! I don't know what it's called...But, if you're a Family Guy fan, it's the "The Bird Is The Word" episode, which is absolutely hilarious. I promised myself I wouldn't get TV shows to my iPod...But I cracked. TV rocks, so I can't ignore it, even though I sort of want to.

And lastly, I'd just like to mention something...

In the past, and I will do so in the future, I meantion ACC a lot. ACC stands for http://www.animalcrossingcommunity.com/ the best website ever. It's full of preppy girls, and Nintendo fanboys and stuff...But there are actually some very nice people there. This is the place where I found all my best friends. For whoever's reading...I suggest joining. You can make a fanfic, a profile, talking with friends, stuff like that. After a while, it gets really addicting, and it's what I do with my life. But, the rules are really strict, and there's a lot of spammers, and flamers...So, be warmed. But it's generally a great website!

That's it for today,

Bye - 5 days!

6 Days Left+Some Dude In Hot Topic+Obama+No School+Stuff...

Hello,

Hello, and to start with - the news of the day, the new president of the United States! Congrats to Obama for winning(even though we've all known about it since November 4th...In fact, November 4th was whe I got tickets for the concert)! I'm not one of those people who believes that Obama is God, and that he's going to be the best president ever, but congratulations to him nonetheless. I watched the inauguration this morning. I wouldn't normally watch anything remotely related to politics, but I've never seen an inauguration before, or knew how it worked, so it was interesting, if not a bit over the top compared to when there's a new Prime Minister in the UK. His speech did go on for a bit though, even if it was powerful...Also, I'd like to thank George Bush for everything he did for the country...I know many people will say he never did anything for our country, and that he was the worst President ever, and deserves to be killed. Maybe he didn't do a great job as President...But it certainly isn't an esay job to do, especially with the world hating you. Seriously, if he did abslutely nothing for the country, then how are you sitting there, for a good ammount of the country, in a warm house, your parents mainting income, and your life generally pretty good? You may think that the US at the moment is hell, but if he truly did nothing, you'd be in a far worse position right now. So, thank you Bush!

Well, only 6 days left until the concert...Ad my mom is almost 100% certain about the TK show in May!!! So, while the rest of the world celebrates over what was said in the above paragraph, I'm celebrating because I get to see The Killers in 6 days...And maybe meet them. I can't stress my excitement enough! I also can't wait for tomorrow, to tell people about the good news...Also, a weird thing happened on AnimalCrossingCommunity.com(ACC) today. I decided I'd check out the Grownup Gamers' Off Topic Board, which I never go on, and found a discussion about concerts. The maker had been to two Killers concerts...And we started chatting. I later found out that she is also a Victim! Such a weird coincidence! She seems pretty nice, and I'll be sure to chat with her some time on The Victims website.

Right now I have the hugest headache. I started getting this headache last night, then getting dizzy, and having a sore throat, so I'm off school. Me being sick may be the reason that this post is sort of uneven and stuff...But, no matter how sick I am, I still have to do a daily blog post, because of this obsession. So, I guess that's good and bad. I still have a headache(I'm holding a cube of ice up to my forehead), and I get to spend all day on the computer, and eat icecream and everything. But, it means I have to make up homework and everything this week. Not to mention the possibility of having a sore throat on the 26th.

So, we finally got round to going shopping yesterday, in the evening because my sister had a friend round for the afternoon. They made weird pancakes...Anyway, this sort of sucked, because most people my age went shopping during the afternoon with a group of friends(Yes, I'm the uncool kid who goes shopping with her mother) and the only people in the mall were middle ages couples who are phobic of teens. So, most of the stuff my size had been sold out. Anyway, towards the end, we went into Hot Topic(Yeah, judge me however you want. I like Hot Topic, and I'm proud of it) and decided to buy a Weezer t-shirt(I LOVE Weezer). My mom and the guy who works there get chatting(Because she seems to think she's 20...And he seems to think he needs to talk to every person who walks in there, or people will think he's a vampire...Actually, there is some reason to that)and I find out he's a Killers fan. Okay, he rocks(And he's wearing a Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt) in every possible way. They play so much death metal in there, and instead he likes more alternative stuff...Cool. So, yeah...

Also in the mall, I remember walking along the 1st floor of the mall, and smelling the perfume of Hollister, on the 2nd floor, all the way through...And it was still very powerful. Could that place be any more pronounced? You could feel the beat of the music all the way through the floor too. Seriously, Hot Topic plays heavy metal, and Hollister plays hiphop...But you can't hear Hot Topic a mile away. My mom says that in Abercrombie and Fitch a few days ago(Once again, she thinks she's 20) they were playing "Human" which I find disspointing...But, I doubt it was the most popular music they play in there. No matter what happens, I really realy don't want preps to get into The Killers...

Well, my iPod decided to freeze again yesterday, while trying to listen to U2's "Beautiful Day". This means that I might well be getting another iPod pretty soon. Hopefully a green Nano, I'm not interested in getting an iTouch or iPhone or anything...As long as it can hold videos, I'm okay with it. Also, someone on The Victims yesterday explained how to add any YouTube videos onto your iPod, which I will exploit to the limit.

I'm still looking for good blog templates for this...Please tell me what you think of this current one(By the way, my paint-splattered obsession continues...I bought a paint-splattered hoodie at Forever 21 yesterday), and I'll change it if I think its necassery.

So, that's about it. Time to add a cool picture to add to my headache!

Bye,

Happy MLK Day...Also, One Week Left!

Hey there,

Well, before I forget(I know I said it yesterday...But I ended up remembering. Thank you, Google!) - Happy Martin Luther King Day! And a big thanks to everything he did for The US and for the African American population of the US. I've added a picture! Also, today is a day off school...Which makes it awesome. So, enjoy!

If you're reading this now, you've probably noticed a pretty big change to All These Things That I've Done. New template time, baby! Yeah, thanks to Cocojuniper's template, which links to the website she got it from. And thus my new template was born(Well...More like "discovered" - By me). Yeah, I really love this one. Is it possible to hate paint-splattered stuff? Well...I love it. The new template makes me feel sort of punky/grungy. Maybe I am sort of punky/grungy. If it means I can say stuff splattered with paint is cool, then I'd admit to being punky any day. Still looking into other websites to find a TK template though, which would totally make my day. I had to ditch the poll, so I'll open up a new one soon. Somehow, I can't find the picture I used on my previous blog template, so I've added a new one until I can find it again - Or a TK picture equally as good. The only negative thing I can think of about this is it's sort of...squashed up. The writing is sort of smaller and harder to read. But, give me your opinions and we'll see if its a keeper.

Well I'm Not Looking For Sweet Talk, I'm Looking For Time...

^Randomness. Well, random by my boring standards. They're one of my favorite lyrics to "Sweet Talk" by The Killers. I love this song at the moment. One of the best on Sawdust, and I love love love love love it at the end when Brandon sings...higher than he should be able to. (*hugs Brandon*)

Well, my Dad uploaded most of my songs back onto my iPod earler this morning - Yay! But I have some of the trash that my mom listens to(She bought a song called "Laid" @_@) I discovered she has a White Stripes album on here, so I'm going to keep it on there, but she doesn't need to know that...

Moving on, I found this a couple of weeks ago, and thought it would be perfect for me to post here. It's...the best Brandon Flowers intervew in the history of mankind. Although it doesn't sound like his answers, its definantly him. Enjoy. and FYI - Think what you might, judge his clothes, influences, music, hair, lyrics, personality, answers, and everything, he is not gay(Yeah, you'll know what answer I'm talking about here...Once you read the interview). If you truly know Brandon to the extent that I do, you'll know that he isn't gay, or bi, or anything. He's straight. He has a wife. As much as I hate that fact, he has a wife. He's deinied being gay - Believe him. Brandon isn't the sort to lie. Got it? Enjoy -

Brandon Flowers on gypsies and the hot eyeliner for dudes.

Is it hot in here, or is it just you? I think it’s actually just hot in here. I’m in London where there tends to be a lack of air conditioning. When’s the first time you realized you were hot?

When my mom took me to get my picture taken, when I was three or four. I was wearing red OshKosh B’Gosh overalls. You know red and volcanic — very hot.

At what age were you least hot?

I went through a low self-esteem phase from 10 to 18. Things changed when I started playing music and learned how to write songs.

What’s the downside of being so darn hot?

There really is no downside to being as hot as I am. Except maybe that my hotness has caused car accidents.

What advice do you have for those who aspire to hotness?

Write good choruses. The better the chorus, the hotter you get in this world.

Who's on your personal hot list?

There’s a talented band in Las Vegas called Red Light School District, which is kind of a hot name.

Hot or Not: Paris Hilton?

Not.

Global warming?

Depends on how you look at it. Al Gore is hot.

Criss Angel, Mind Freak?

I’ve watched the show — I’ll admit it. But, I lean towards David Copperfield.

Beards?

Beards are hot right now.

Hot new sexual position?

Uh, is there a new one?

Hot new prescription drug?

Ambien, for the airplane.

Hot new catch phrase?

“That’s not a good look.”

Hot new celebrity baby?

I gotta give Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow credit for Moses because it’s such a strong name. I would like to have a little Flowers one day and I’m jealous because I can’t use it.

Hot new makeup for boys?

Jean Paul Gaultier started to make eyeliner for men. Once you have the beard and you put the eyeliner on, you get a whole new thing going — a gypsy thing.

Okay:Gypsys - Hot or not!

Hot! I would defend a gypsy.

What’s your fallback plan for when you inevitably lose your hotness?

Eventually I’m going to enter the salt-and-pepper stage of my life where I’ll have a “distinguished attractiveness.” But really, I could have decades more of hotness.

----------------------------------------------

Teehee, wasn't that an awesome interview?! *fangirl giggle*. My thoughts -

-That "my hotness has causes car accidents" line is one for the TK quote book, I think. Teehee.

-He's got a very good point about the "write better choruses" thing. I think many people overlook that. You know, the hot guy in the band is, in most cases, the singer - The guy who writes the choruses...And the better, the more popular by looks he gets. Unless you're just another girl who thinks she's going to marry all three of The Jonas Brothers. Then...you're the total opposite. The guy you like writes terrible choruses, terrible music, and you're blinded by 13 year old girl hormones.

-"Red Light School District", have to listen to them some time...

-Reffering to the Al Gore thing, it was a joke. It seems every child my age can't take any sarcasm as a joke. They just go "Oh my god....are you serious?!" or something. It's a joke. Get on with your life.

-Once again, the "Uh, there's a new one?" quote is going in by TK quote list.

-It turns out Brandon did ended up having a "Little Flowers" baby. But he kept with the religious baby theme, and thus Ammon Flowers was born(This time, he really was born).

-I now love gypsys!

-Brandon losing his hotness? I don't think so! He'll be in his 70s before that happens.

Well, wasn't that organised? I guess I'll leave it here. As far as today is going...Put the rest of my songs onto my iPod, enjoy my day off, sleep, find a puzzle to do, buy some more songs for my iPod, have a YouTube search of Killers videos, and maybe shopping...And, only one week left!

Bye,

Eight Days Left...Plus, The "Impending Doom"

Hey there,

So, eight days left. Eight days, eight days, eight days. And this is the point when I begint to have worries about it. For example, it's snowing fairly heavily outside at the moment. if it snows on the 26th, there'll be issues. Still, rain or snow, I'll see The Killers. Nothing stops them. Also, Brandon is known to have throat problems. God, I hope he doesn't go down with one now. Sure, my concert date is near the beginning of the tour, so it shouldn't happen. But, you never know. Whatever, let's keep a posotive attitude.

^title^. So, the impending doom. I've just realised, that I listen to my iPod way too loud. if I lend one earphone to a friend to listen to a song, she/he will say "Woah, that's so loud, turn it down!" or something along those lines. One earphone is too loud for them, and I'm listening to double that and I'm fine with it. Basically, I'm going to be deaf by the age of 30. Fun, fun, fun.

Yesterday was a "sucky"(I sound really preppy saying that) day. First off, for a while I've been dying to watch HAARP, and I lost it. Turns out my mom stole it to listen to the CD, but I spent all afternoon looking for it. It was tedious, but it's not like I hve anything better to do on a Saturday afternoon.

Secondly, my iPod decided to freeze sometime yesterday. It was just on "shuffle", and I finished listening to "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol. I went back to the main menu, and it froze, saying it's playing, but no sound is coming out. Turns out this was exactly the same virus thing my mom's iPod had caught just a couple of weeks prevously. But, my Dad decided to do just this - Wipe every song off my iPod. All 450ish of them. The virus cleared, and he tells me "Now you just have to put all your songs back onto your iPod again!". Yeah, that certainly sounds like my responsibility to do. I don't care if he cleared it, he should be the one to put the songs back onto my iPod again. I'm still "ticked" off at him about that. I'll try to persuade him to put the songs bac on later today. So, I spent the whole morning listening to the five TK music videos I put on my mom's iPod - Bones, Human, Mr. Brightside, Read My Mind, and Somebody Told Me(Added it only a couple of days ago). When you listen to music 90% of the time you're awake, five songs, even if they're Killers songs, can get boring. I switched over to my online radio station(The one having a personality crisis, remember?). Well, today it's feeling sort of grungey/angsty, at the moment it's play "Self Esteem" by The Offspring.

So, among other reasons, yesterday sucked. Today is starting better. We were supposed to go shopping today(I desperatly need more clothes...) but the snow stopped us. Instead, we went over to my neighbour's house to see her new cat. The cat is somewhat "cute"(Ah, I'm turning prepy!), and it has really bright amber eyes. Her name is Coco. They only got their first cat a year ago, and they have a dog as well. The little spoiled brat just gets bored of her animals, and needs a new one every year. Last year, she asked us to come round(When I say "us" I mean "my sister". My neighbour hates me) and kept saying how cute her cat was. So, now that cat is older and lost its cuteness and everything, she's planning ways to keep the old cat away from the new one. And she lost total interest in the dog ages ago. The mother always seems like the sort of mother who's read every parenting book ever written, but she somehow gives in to giving her daughter 3 animals...Which is a little weird. It's not like the girl doesn't have enough toys to play with already. She gets a new American Girl Doll every couple of weeks, her count of Webkins is in the 60s, and she has a laptop. She does act like the typical "spoiled girl" stereotype. She certainly has no respct for me - And she's obsessed with my sister. Needless to say, I went home after an hour.

Now, I'm not the sort of person who would boast her "weirdness" at every possible oppurtunity, but I have been weird today. On AnimalCrossingCommunity, I discovered a thread which discusses various stereotypes, and a new one occured - "Scene". I only heard about this recently, and I was curious. For those who don't know, scene is just another one of those pointless stereotypes, sort of like emo. You wear black with loads of neon colors, band t-shirts, graphic t-shirts, animal print clothes, tiaras, tutus, neon tights and leggings, skinny jeans, Converse, Vans, looads of jewelry, and huge hair. It's just the new "emo". Honestly, I think the style looks pretty weird...But I was interested at how they got their hair that way. Again, I don't like the look, but seriously; How do they get their hair like that?! I spent forever looking at videos of poser emo and scene kids doing their hair and stuff...I know, that was weird. I also saw a news report, talking about a sort of "discrimination" about emos and scenes from other stereotypes. Some people need a life if they beat up every scene kid they see on the street...And it played "Just Like Heaven", our world anthem, as a song showing gothic subculture. Hahaha. They can call The Cure as gothic as they want, but at least they're not fake emo dudes like My Chemical Romance or anything(DIE DIE DIE, emo bands!)

Based on the last paragraph, this would be the perfect place to put my "stereotype rant" I'll save that for another day, it might go on a bit, though it will happen.

I'll probably forget when the time comes, but happy MLK day to everyone, and to everything he did for the US. And congrats to Obama for Tuesday!

That's about it for now, I've added a picture(Isn't the suit gorgeous?!)

Eight days - Bye!

The Killers - 01/26/09. My Dream Concert...

Hi,

So, I've been thinking a lot about next Monday. What will it be like? My first concert...My first Killers concert. Being closer than I've ever been to the best band ever, not to mention being closer than ever to the hottest man ever. Finally getting the big rush of hearing "All These Things That I've Done" live, that everyone claims is out of this world. Going crazy to Somebody Told Me. Dancing to Mr. Brightside. Screaming along to Jenny Was a Friend Of Mine. And, the possiblity of meeting the guys face to face. Here's my representation of my perfect 01/26/09(And a test of my writing skills. Admittedly, I'm really bad at writing on saturday mornings...This also won't be very realistic at times). Enjoy my boring, long, song-by-song, Killer-obsessive story.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The car finally stops. "Finally" I think to myself. The car trip took no more than an hour - But it felt like forever. We park in the closest spot to the arena, and I step out. Looking ahead, I see the arena sign, lit up with "The Killers - Live Tonight!" and my heart starts beating at twice its normal pace. Not so far away now, Brandon, Dave, Mark, and Ronnie, are sitting around. And I'm closer to them than ever before. My Mom, Dad, and myself run towards the entrance, me in the lead.

We step in and move to our seat. I take off my jacket, and my Killers sweatashirt. I'm wearing my maroon Killers t-shirts, skinny gray jeans, and maroon Converse. As we begin to sit down, I realised I was sitting behind a particularly tall group of middle aged men. Great. A guy in a Killers t-shirt(A Killers t-shirt that I also own) runs up to us, looking at the group of men in front of us. Out of the blue telling us "Do you want my tickets instead?". I scream, and rudely snatch the tickets out of his hand. I could never have been happier. He said he knew I wouldn't be able to see in those seats, and gladly gives up his tickets.

I run forward, pushing past groups of giggling females, rigid with the anticipation of seeing Mr. Flower's face close up. My seat is 1st row, right in front of the microphone. Seriously, I want to hug that random guy at this point. We wait there for another twenty minutes, and begin to chat with some of the girls next to me.

Anticipation grows, and everyone around me grows silent, bored, and eager. The lights begin to dim, and screams rise at the same rate.



"Ladies and gentlemen...The Killers!" calls from above. Lights on the stage finally rise, revealing an elaborate set. They've used a bright green and black tiger striped backdrop. I was right in front of the giant "K" synthesizer that follows them around on tour. To the right, a black bass guitar is standing. To the left, various Fenders, Gibsons, and an accoustic guitar are set up on stands, and to the back, a large drum set, with "The Killers" written diagonally across the drum, and animal print lining the drums. There are various animal print and animal related stuff across the stage, not to mention countless amps and equipment.



A platform in the center of the stage rises, revealing...None other than, The Killers. Confetti falls from the ceiling, and screams block out all sound. Each member takes his place on the stage. Mark in a fairly simple grey suit and black Converse, Ronnie in a red t-shirt and skinny black jeans. Dave is dressed in an animal print t-shirt, with a large leather jacket that falls to his knees, and skinny black jeans. And Brandon, in his feathery-shoulder suit. I was so close, I could have touched his shoes, but I think better of it. I don't want to make a bad impression.



Brandon waits anxiously for the screams to do die down. He nods towards Dave, and the recognsisabe guitar riff to "Human" begings to play. The screams rise up again, washing out the guitar, drums, and bass completely.



And then come to opening lines "I did my best to notice, when the call came down the line..." and the whole crowd begins to sing along. Predictably, Brandon is singing slightly offtune, and his voice begins to quiver. He soon gets into the swing of things and starts to jump up and down to the bass line. As Brandon does "the punch" and the "salute to devotion" the crowd follows. Before long, every person in the crowd rises up from their seats and begins to dance. My parents look at me like I'm crazy, but I just smile and turn back to...going crazy. As the last few lines of "Human" end, Brandon looks down to his feet, slightly nervous still, and the other men put down their instruments.



My mind is whirling...I can't believe it. I just heard Human live. I gaze up longingly at the band as the readjust themselves for the next song -"Losing Touch". This song is a world away from the punchy pop-ish "Human" and moves between "dark" and "light" throughout the song, leaving the crowd oblivious as what to do. People sing along and, more commonly, just stare up to the band. I watch carefully as Brandon's fingers dance over the keys to his synthesizer, and I begin to scream to the "Impending doom, it must be true" lines. The band hit the last chorus full force and the crowd screams, before dying down to the end of the song.



Brandon begins to introduce the band, stopping every couple of seconds for shouts of "Brandon, I love you!!!" coming from every female in the audience. He smiles and giggles, in his girly way. Before introducing himself, he stops, saying "And I am the romance, and this is the kiss" in the very way he had down countless times before. The crowd screams, as the pretty synth line to "Read My Mind" begins. Stating off slow, the band picks up pace through every line, and the volume of the guitar is turned up loud. When the "guitar solo" is reached, the crowd jumps up and down like there's no tomorrow, as if we were listening to the Sweet Child O' Mine solo.



After the end of the song, Brandon continues with "How about another new song?" and immediatly enters into "The World We Live In". Everyone sings along, and Brandon bends down, singing into his mic, and wanders aimlessly around the stage. "The World We Live" in continues for quite some time, and Brandon makes weary comments into his mic as Dave swithces guitars. Mark steps forward and takes the stage for "Jenny Was A Fried Of Mine". This song truly is Mark's song. The bass washes out the crowd, and shakes the floor. Slighty less showman-y, Brandon walks around the stage, this time screaming into his mic, as the song intends. People around me begin to hum along to the bass line, absentmindedly. Others scream and jump up and down as the singing stops and the bass runs through for another minute to the end of the song.



Brandon picks up his bass, and the crowd shouts even louder still - We all know what's coming. The crowd sing along to "For Reasons Unknown" and Brandon's voice quivers again, under the stain of playing bass at the same time. All eyes are on Ronie as his smashes his cymbals at the end of the song like he's Neal Peart.


After a brief, more mellow(But amazing, nonetheless) accoustic versaion of "Sam's Town" the crowd around begins to sit down. But the band bring them back up for "Neon Tiger" feauting, quite posibly, Brandon's most amazing vocal performance today. He walks slowly around stage stage, carrying his mic with him, singing into the people in the first rows. He walks past me, and I lunge forward. Brandon smiles.

The "so-so single Bones" amazes me. I watch carefully again at Ronnie's drumming skill. During the chorus, my parents, again, stare at me oddly as I sing along. Every girl in the audience smiles at the end as Brandon runs his hands down his body during the final "Don't You Wanna Feel My Bones?" line. Then, comes the crowd pleaser - Somebody Told Me. Everybody dances, everybody goes crazy. We all follow Brandon as he punches in the heavy drum beats at the beginning of the chorus, and watch Dave as he rolls around the floor at the end. After this, the crowd realises this was just a warm up. Brandon smiles, saying "I think you're going to like this one" and Dave starts the guitar to "Mr. Brightside". The crowd screams, and jumps up and twice as much for any song previously. Everyone was expecting this one. And the band give the performance of a lifetime. Brandon runs around the stage, waving his mic stand in the air.

Before the energey can be calmed down, the band jump into "A Dustland Fairytale" my favorite song on Day and Age. I continue to sing and jump up and down, and Brandon looks at me. Smiling, again.

After this, the band continues with a great performance of "Glamarous Indie Rock And Roll", and into their cover of "Romeo And Juliet", originally by Dire Straights, Dave whipping out the accoustic guitar again. Brandon sings beautifully, placing his hand on his heart every now and then. And staring into the eyes of the first row seats - Including mine.

The Killers dive into another crowd favorite - Smile Like You Mean It. Mellow, but thrilling, the crowd continue to sing once more, and I hum along to the amazing synth in the chorus. Then, we enter into another song off Sawdust; Sweet Talk. Dark, mysterious, and powerful, the crowd sings along, but not as energetically as wth previous songs. Towards the end, Brandon stands on the tips of his toes, struggling to reach the high notes.

The band finish the set with a Spaceman, everyone up on their feet singing to the "Uh uh oh oh uh uh oh oh ohh"s every now and again.

For the encore, the band start with "Joy Ride", revealing their saxaphonist coming up from the rising platform during the sax solo. After this, a spectacular performance of "When You Were Young" leaves everyone breathless, with Dave falling to his knees in the solo.

The crowd knows whats coming. Everyone starts singing the famous "I got soul, but I'm not a solider" line before the song can begin. Then, the band give a mind-blowing performance of All These Things That I've Done...A perfect song, to end a perfect concert. Confetti fals from the ceiling again, Brandon looking into my eyes again. That rocked.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How about we leave it there? I know, it was boring. But that's my dream concert right there. Everything I need in life. Of course, that night would end with meeting the band, autographs, pictures...All of that stuff. But, I would be going off to much there, and it might not be exactly family friendly, meeting them. But, I would meet them. And I would tell them that I love them. And I would hug Brandon if my parents weren't looking.

So, that's about it. Nine days left, nine days left, nine days left...

AMAZING News!

Hey!

Well, the "party" has calmed down now. Writing the 50th post was fun, here's hoping we can get to 100! There won't be much very intreresting to say today(Aprt from something REALLY AWESOME). I just need to catch up on two days of stuff.

Well, I'm glad today is over. It couldn't have gone slower, same with this whole week. Maybe I can catch up on some sleep this weekend...Who knew - Staring at a picture of Brandon all night makes you tired the following morning. Strange, huh?

*dances* The Day And Age TK tour started today! Good luck to the boys, it should be awesome. I need to check on YouTube tomorrow to check out the new outfits and set! Lucky people in Denver, get first show...Well...10 DAYS UNTIL MY CONCERT! So, you're thinking by now that I'm super super excited, right? And I've been thinking...After this, I'll have nothing to look forwrd to. And that's when I was wrong. I looked on The Victims today and...they added some more North American tour dates. I currently have an urge to type in capitals and loads of exclamation marks, but I shall resist... Happy? You bet! In May, there's one in Connecticut...And I'm trying to persuade my mom to get us tickets. It depends mostly on what my Dad says...But this one is equally, if not more, important as my show in ten days. More? Why? Because for this one, I am a Victim. And Victims get pre-release tickets. Meaning, I will get a close up ticket. it's on a first-come first-serve basis, but TK aren't too popular around here, so a good seat is pretty certain. I mean, I'm talking about 5th row at worst. So, I will be able to see Brandon's face, and he will be able to see mine. I'm really over-excited about this. And this time, I have more time to plan. Last time, we were lucky to get tickets. Now, I'll be ready. I'll be planning out leaving times, staying after the show, getting there early, not to mention getting up early for really, really good tickets. And this might not be the only Killers show of the year. Again, I'm going to England this summer. It's at that very time that their US tour is winding down, and they do England, and the rest of Europe. Depending on how much money I have, There'll be more TK to come this year!

Well, that's all I've been thinking about for a while...

There's a dance at my school tonight(Coco, are you going?). For once, I'm actually thinking about going...Usually, I would never go. Everyone gets all excited about going, and then get bored when they're there. The really bad music is way too loud. Friends try to make me dance all the time. Not to mention all the romance and drama that happens. All of which I'd very much like to avoid. But, seeing as it's the start of the tour, and because of my news, I might go...I want to request "Human" as a "good luck" wish to TK. I'm still deciding...

Well, yesterday we made "Dream Catchers" as part of MLK Day. Mine turned out horribly first time off. After a while, it got sort of fun. I'll probably find a way to do it here, not using a branch for the circle. Mine still ended up looking pretty bad, but at least I got the general hang of it. After she was done, my friend(CubsRAH) made another dream catcher, but instead of making the web pattern, she made a "K". It looks so cool. I've been considering paying her to give it to me...Yeah, I WILL do that. My mess of a dream catcher is currently hanging in my locker, and a nice "K" instead will fit much better into the "theme" of my locker. The catcher does sort of get in the way of my messy locker, but it'll keep all the nasty bad dreams about bad things happening to The Killers away!

Also, my essay ended up sucking really badly. At nine last night, I just completely gave up on trying to add figurative language to it. Which gives me a 70%, maximum. And I realised that I forgot to add a bibliography to my Dickens essay, which takes me to an 80% maximum for that grade. I'm totally going to fail LA. Good thing, I didn't have to read my essay to anyone. We were split into groups from the leadership school back in October, and only the people who considered their essays good got to read. The best ones didn't win, in my opinion. It turns out, most people did stuff on animal cruelty. It got tiring after a while.

We're starting a project in Spanish, and in Math/Social Studies. So, now the work is really piling on. I'll still be able to do as little work as possible though. You may wonder "Why do I not give a damn(About your hair...Sorry, Killers lyrics again) about school?" The truth is, I don't know. I just lost interest, and care. It's boring, why should I try? It's hard to explain. Anyway, the math/SS one is decent. We have to do a research paper, and make a model of a Greek building(I got The Colosseum!). I actually got a good group. A girl who I would consider a friend, and a dude I've got nothing against, so we should work well. Most people are jealous of our group - It's fun. Our Spanish project should be less than fun. We're doing stuff for Carnival, which is coming up soon, and I have to make masks, based on a country. My partners, typically, chose England. It's annoying how the world thinks I'm dying to do anything related to that place...I'm not. Plus, England isn't interesting to make masks and costumes out of. Americans just think we're posh, and dress like the Queen. It's a negative judgement I would love not to express in this. Oh well, these England judgements will always stand no matter what I say or do. Stupid people.

Just thinking about it, February isn't too far away. Which means...Mr. Vannucci's birthday. Mr. Vannucci being the drummer in The Killers(My friend brought in an article about him today which reminded me). He'll be 33! We'll make him a cake and everything...We just need more candles. Ronnie's is the humour of The Killers. There's never a time when it's innapropriate for a Vannucci joke. Even in little interviews in cymbol magazines that my friend brought in. quoting - "I'd love to talk about my favorite things. But since this magazine isn't about women or beer, I'll have to talk about cymbols instead..." which rocked. At the end, he closes with "Now can we talk about beer at least??". I've been waiting for another TK birthday since Mark's on June 28th, so it's finally a relief. After that, we have to wait until Dave's birthday in March. Then it's Brandon's again in June!

Well, that's about it for now. Enjoy the picture! This weekend I'll be clothes shopping, maybe sledding, and eagerly persuading my parents about Connecticut in May...

Bye!

Happy 50th, Camo Lambo!

Hi!

Well, here we are! I would have never thought we'd get here - I always get bored of websites after a month. So...this makes this post so special. It's the 50th post of CamoLambo!!! So, let's get this party started(..I hate parties, but whatever). Roll out the chips(>>>) and the dip(<^^)

*cough cough* Well, how about we start this party off with a cheesy "thanking" speech?

Well, next to ACC, doing this blog has been the most fun I've ever had on a website. Thanks to everyone who's posted a comment on any of my posts, they're awesome to read. And to those who have subscribed, even though I consider this blog to my pretty boring most of the time. I'd also like to thank The Killers(Duh) for giving us such an awesome song, for which I named my blog after(I got soul but I'm not a soldier forever). To add to that, I'd like to double thank The Killers for giving me something to write about, even when there's nothing to write about. To my awesome computer, for giving me something to write blogs on - No matter how many times you freeze, die, shut off without my permission, go super slow, cut your internet off, get sticky keys, print messed up pictures, or install viruses, and everything, I spend my life on this wonderfull computer, and I love it. Also, to chocolate and caffine, which has given me the energy to write these large blog posts. To snow days and vacations, that give me the time to blog. To my non-existant social life, also giving me the ability to post so much. Of course, to the Blogspot network - The greatest blogging net work ever! To everything and everyone who inspires me to write the ocassional wacky thing on here every n To my odd personality, which allows me to rave about everything popular. To those people who have got my to understand all the mysteries of Blogger. To Pandora Radio, giving me something to listen to while I write. And, in particular, to Mr. Flowers. For which I have posted a poll, posts, pictures, rants explosions of joy, love, desire, adoration, jealousy, sympathy, excitement, and complete raves about. You mean a lot to me. I'll love you forever, 'kay?

Now that that's done with you are feel free to go crazy now, but I doubt I'll be joining in with you. Stuff yourself silly, dance, sing, whatever. Just enjoy it while we can - I can't promise we'll make it to 100. But just one thing to add - MUSIC! For the 2nd time on this blog - The lyrics to the. best. song. ever. Enjoy!

I'm coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his-chest

Now, he takes off her dress

Now, let me go

And I just can't look its killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his-chest

Now, he takes off her dress

Now, let me go

Cause I just can't look its killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes'

Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I never...

I never...

I never...

I never...

Happy 50th CamLambo - Bye!
