It's been a while. School is still out to get me. History seems to be going well. Chemistry is violating me with a cactus. I've spent some time listening to the new Brand New album, and to be honest, at first I wasn't sure what to do with it. And like most divinely beautiful things, it took a while, but I fell for Daisy. It's no The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me, but then again, it's that they're always changing and growing that have made them one of my all-time favourite bands. Not to mention that when I learnt, and then played The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot, I could barely sing because I was crying so hard. There aren't very many songs that make me cry, but one that made me cry while playing it? There's only been one so far.
Anyway, Daisy. Friggen adore it. I've always liked screaming. Jesse Lacey screaming is just heavenly. On my first listen, Vices was my favourite track. But then, and even now, that woman singing just annoys me and I just skip through it. Be Gone irritated the hell outta me at first. However, after a couple more listens, I fell for it too. With it's exotic guitar and the muffled vocals. For some reason I like that I don't know what he's singing. And oh my, that moan at the beginning, it gives me chills. As per usual, magnificent songwriting from Jesse. His lyrics stun me into silence, on every album. I really do want you pretty bad.
It has been FOREVER since I posted anything. So I thought I'd write something. Anything, just to let you know that I haven't given up on this blog.
So, new music. Hmm. What have I been listening to. OH YES. A little bird (a ginger one, teehee!) told me about THE STREET SWEEPER SOCIAL CLUB! :D And oh my days are they amazing. I mean, come on, with the guitarist from Audioslave and Rage Against The Machine, how could they not be? I'll leave you to check them out. Favourite song is Promenade. And this should be for fans of LMFAO, and at a stretch 3OH!3 and Brokencyde. It's a bit more...enlightened though.
The same little bird told me about THE CAT EMPIRE. NEW FAVOURITE BAND NUBS. FURREALZ. I am in love with these guys. They're completely insane, and they make me so blissfully happy. *gazes of into distance* It just fills you up from the inside and moves your limbs in random motions that eventually becomes a funky dance. And then you just can't stop. I think the WORLD should know about this band. Well, I'd hate for them to go mainstream and sell out, but more people should know them. Please, for the love of happy music (which there isn't a lot of anymore) listen to them. Favourite tracks are Sly and So Many Nights. I cannot stress the emotional impact this band has had on me. Listen to them. Nao.
Hmm. Anything else...HI TIM! I know you read my blog now. :) All the way in cold Engerland. Give us some of the cold. Please.
I've been neglecting to update about new stuff I've been listening to.So here's Bon Iver (pronounced Bon Hiver, yes kiddies, in French) Eh, so it's not exactly new but I can't stop listening to Skinny Love. It's made my Top 25 Most Played. It's also been announced that he's gonna contribute to the New Moon soundtrack, SELL-OUT flashed in my brain, but then I took it back because as anti-Twilight as I'm feeling right now, those people did come up with a great soundtrack. And they just put Closer by Kings of Leon on the soundtrack. Which is one of my favourites. So I folded.
I also refuse to give in to all this hype over Kanye vs. Taylor. Stop going on about it. You're giving him the publicity he needs to re-ignite his career. I'll give him a light as long as he never, EVER speaks again. His music's alright, really.
Just finished True Blood Season 2 as well. It just gets weirder and weirder. That show is unashamedly selling itself with sex. Really, pagan orgies? Really scraping the barrel there, HBO. Since Godric died, I've been harbouring a secret longing for him to come back to life. (: He was interesting. And Sookie is SERIOUSLY getting on my nerves now. She's unrealistically nice, and is also unrealistically stupid. Not to mention she gets some of the worst lines in the history of screenplay. Now, I'm gonna say something but before I get lynched I'd like to justify myself. Bill is annoying. He hasn't got much of a personality. He's an Edward Cullen. Nice packaging, empty on the inside. Eric on the other hand? WAAAAAY more interesting (Course it doesn't hurt that he got rid of that ridiculous hair from Season 1.) in just about every way imaginable. The homosexual undertones, the Danish, being a Viking. Bill is so vanilla compared to Eric. This may just be me and my tendency to favour the anti-hero (like Dean. :P ) but I'm a bit sick of Bill. Sookie should take off with Eric. Scratch that. I should take off with Eric. But really, someone new and interesting and hot should be written in for Eric in Season 3. Like Olivia Wilde. It's about time 13 died on House anyway.
Oh my. I was so, immensely excited for Lucifer Rising. And thank heavens, was not disappointed ONE BIT. I AAAAAM SOOO HAAAAPPY. Firstly, Dean is looking SMOKIN' hot as usual. (If not hotter, this season) Sammy's shut up a bit (serves him right) and Bobby's been awesome in general. :) SPOILER ALERT!!
CASTIEL KICKS FLIPPING ASS! I love this guy! FURREALZ. God likes Cas the best. Now everyone knows. :) I LOOOVE how Dean is Michael's vessel. Really. I do. I can't wait to seem him 'angel up'. Because let's face it, we all know he will. Even though he said no, even though Cas saved him. And hellloooo! Jacob from Lost. EEEEEEEK, I can't wait till he does some super-supernatural crap. It'll be like some weird slash fanfic. Lost/Supernatural.
And Becky! GREAT CHARACTER. Eric Kripke, you are a species above human on the evolutionary scale. Delving into the darkest ravines of Wincest and exploiting it for every hilariously awkward moment he can get. :) The quotes in this episode were just priceless, pity I can't remember them all. I'll need to re-watch it. :) Not that it's a problem.
"Uh, Becky, could you quit touching me?" "No."
"Sam caressed Dean's clavicle. "Sam this is wrong", Dean said. "Then I don't ever want to be right.", said Sam in a husky voice."
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA. Poor J2, they must hate Wincest from the very core of their souls. (Though I have to say, I do quite like the monster-a-week fanfics.)
Ugh, Meg is back. I seriously hate her. At least Ruby (blonde Ruby, anyway) was mildly interesting. Meg is just dull. She needs to DIAF and never come back. EVER. No exceptions.
I cannot wait for the next episode. I cannot wait for...the next season? Eric Kripke, if somehow, some way, you read this, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't end Supernatural. If it's a matter of ratings I will recruit mercilessly!
God, I miss the summer now. I miss England. I miss Scotland. I miss the weather (shocking, I know). I FEEL SO ISOLATED. Best family holiday ever, hands down. I was also surprisingly photogenic over in England+Scotland. True to form, it was a one off thing, I returned to looking like a deer in headlights and generally a spastic rodent as soon as I got back to Brunei. Damn. I have also made my decision. :) I am going to live in Edinburgh. Hopefully I'll get into the Uni, but if not then I will hobo around. I don't care. I friggen love that place! :D I think Kyung is coming with. :P
School. UGH. One week of 6th form and I've felt suicidal once already. Scratch that, it hasn't even been a week. It's been four days. It's all just too, too much! I'M SO OVERWHELMED. Not with work or anything, just the THOUGHT of all the work that's to come! And the teachers have all been painfully honest about, well, the pain to come. God, help me.
And as if that isn't enough, shows start next week! YES! But no. It's hard enough to concentrate on work without having to follow a weekly schedule of Supernatural, Lost, House, Vampire Diaries and Glee. -.-' The thing is, with GCSE classes, you could basically sleep through the whole two years of each subject, then teach it all back to yourself the morning of the exam. I get the feeling A Level isn't going to be like that, so I actually have been trying my VERY best to concentrate in every lesson. Which I somehow managed. Not without consequences though. I am EXHAUSTED. Maybe that's just all the not eating. After Hari Raya I probably won't eat in school anyway. It is soooooo embarassing taking off my retainers in public. I will have liquid lunches and break times, then make up for all that when I get home. :)
I would like to welcome back Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki to another (what should be) fantabulous season of Supernatural. Which, hopefully, won't be the last! :D
Lost had better finish up nicely, or I might scream. Or cry. Most likely both.

J.J. Abrams is STEALING MY SOUL. How can this one man be such a genius. I mean, come on, Star Trek? Lost? (Yes, Rosie has turned me into a "Lostie") That guy is on a ROLL. Lost is driving me crazy. When episode 17 of season 3 didn't load yesterday, I almost had a WoW Freakout. Not quite like this guy: But I was pretty upset. :(
Sorry Michael Bay, Transformers 2 was shit. Scrap metal, literally. No more, dear God, no more. It is a movie for pyromaniacs, speed junkies and anyone looking for gratuitous soft pornography, more specifically of Megan Fox. Who is just stupidly hot. (Disclaimer: I am straight. Really.) So maybe she can't act to save her life, she cries well and she looks good. Surely that's enough. You'd think someone like her would have some incredibly good-looking boyfriend, but NO. She's going out with the dude from the Sarah Connor Chronicles. WUT. On a scale of 1-10 of Hollywood attractiveness he's like a 3. She is a 12. The world has gone crazy. Back to the movie, it was just giant hunks of metal being thrown across the room, and how the flip are we supposed to tell which are the good and bad transformers, when some of them dont have specific colours, and are just silver? I am a self-confessed pyromaniac, and the explosions in the film were GREAT. But seriously, you cant base a movie on dynamite. 1 star. The only reason it has a star at all is cause Megan Fox is in it. Even though she had the cringiest lines in the history of ever.
Know what else I hate? People on YouTube who ask "wat song is dis?" or "omg, how did you do dis?" My salvation is the other YouTubers who politely point out that they should "READ THE MORE INFO. TAB YOU BRAINLESS FUCKER." I also hate people who type like dyslexics with a window open on urbandictionary. "DnT b sT00p!d, ! dNt T@lK lYk d@t." I wish I could pull all their fingernails off.
I have fallen (yet again), but this time for the FOLLOWILLS. A family of geniuses, I promise you. Can you imagine their christmas holidays? I want to become a member of that family.
