Vicki has now been on a plane for four hours, and already I miss her with an ACUTE PAIN. SERIOUS HEARTACHE HERE PEOPLE!!!

For in a minute there are many days!
O by this count, I shall be much in years
Ere I again behold my Romeo.

Or Vicki.
Same thing.

But yeah, her last text message made me laugh.

So she was like,
"bye bye elaine. i leave you stranded here"

my reply:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(i'm telling you it took SERIOUS effort to type that many 'o's on a cell phone. if it weren't vicki, and if it weren't england, i wouldn't have bothered. but then again, i don't bother to reply anyone but vicki's texts)

vicki: yessssss!!! ok. now i really am going cuz i'm gonna get yelled at. goodbye my love. i shall say high to your people. byee my hubby. mwah!

I love her!

OWWW BACK PAIN AND EXTREME FATIGUE HERE.
Two hours of waltzing is NOT NICE.

I was so bloody dizzy after all that turning Michael.

On another note:
This blog has been devoid of them for too long. You guys got your hopes up. You thought that maybe the obsession had lessened. You thought that maybe football finally came in and saved the day again. You thought that Fernando Torres could take my mind and heart away. You thought maybe the madness had passed. YOU WISHED AND HOPED FERVENTLY THAT IT WAS GONE.

To quote andy: THE REIGN OF MCFLY WILL END

I DEFY YOU STARS!!!!!

Whoa I just quoted Romeo without trying. HOW GOOD AM I?

God you know how tired I am? I just typed "Could" instead of "good" up there.
BUT BACK TO THE POINT.

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE MCFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to show you all once again, and because this blog needed colour, or FIVE COLOURS (HAHA get it?):


Awww Danny looks adorable here:


LOOK GUYS LOOK!!!!!1


IT'S MAIN STREET!!!!!!!!!1 I'VE BEEN THERE!!!!! OOOOO!!!!!!!!! WE WALKED ON THE SAME STREET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S FATE!!!!
I assume Harry was taking the picture..

I love him...


Really I do...

ALRIGHT ANOTHER RULE!!!!!

You get ONE entry. you put all your entries on ONE COMMENT. That's ALL YOU GET.

BACK OFF ROBIN. BACK OFF NOW.

19 year old Spanish Liverpool players are MINE.

Wednesday, June 28, 2006

Alright this is serious business here.

EVERYONE BUT ROBIN IGNORE THIS POST!

ROBIN THAT IS NOT COOL.
"ohk elaine. choose one: fernando torres or xabi alonso. you get first pick and i'll have the other one, k? (= "

YOU KNEW and you STILL KNOW that I can't PICK BETWEEN THOSE TWO. THAT'S NOT COOL. Anybody else and I'd have an easier time. ERGH put the two Spanish gods up against each other. ERGHHHHH

Hmm... which one?
Xabi Alonso... it's XABI!!!!! I can't reject Xabi... He's like.. XABI!!!!! He is so awesome he's beyond awesome.

HEY ROBIN SINCE WHEN ARE YOU INFRINGING UPON MY TERRITORY OF FOOTBALL?!?!!??! SINCE WHEN??! HUH?! HUH?!!? WHY?!?!?! FOOTBALLERS WERE, ARE, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY AREA! AND WHY ARE YOU LIKING THE SAME GUYS AS ME?!?! THIS IS JUST WRONG!!!!!!! ROOT OF CONFLICT!!!!!!

XABI ALONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo he's like... best passer in Europe, always nice, gentlemanly, Kop favorite, adorable Spanish lad, adopted Scouser, his accent's hilarious. Him and Luis Garcia. ERGH ERGH ERGH ERGH ERGH.

But but but Fernando Torres is... just look at him. And he's only 21. Xabi's 24. And Xabi's girlfriend's name is like Nagore, and they've been together FOREVER. They'll be getting married soon I think.

But I've never really FANCIED Xabi like that. Well, not REALLY. Like there have been moments where I've been like, "Aww Xabi..." and felt sentimental and tender towards the man, but Steven Gerrard usually turns up and diverts the attention.
But but but it's XABI!!!! I love the man. ERGHHHH

But Fernando Torres... el nino.. fernando torres...
ERGH I'd pick Fernando Torres, as last night I had a dream where Xabi Alonso was like my best guy friend and he was trying to set me up with Fernando Torres. YES I HAVE WEIRD DREAMS ALRIGHT? I seem to always dream about the obsession of the day.
So subconsciously, I like Nino Torres more romantically, but but but I don't want Robin with Xabi Alonso. Haha not being possessive, just couldn't imagine you with him actually.
AND YOU PROBABLY CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE HIS NAME PROPERLY, LIKE 80% OF ENGLAND!

But I really don't know that much about Fernando Torres. I watch Xabi Alonso every day. And what if Fernando Torres goes to Man Utd? I CAN'T LIKE A MANC SCUM.

ERGH XABI ALONSO IS A LIVERPOOL PLAYER THOUGH!!!! I CAN'T PICK ANYONE OVER A LIVERPOOL PLAYER, CAN I? that's like... WRONG in every possible way.
But Fernando Torres is sooooooooooooooooooooooo like... I can't even describe it. APPEALING

Robin, who do you THINK I'll pick? When you set up that arrangement, I'll bet you were banking that I'd pick Xabi Alonso?

Hmm.. actually. Now that I think about it. I can make you not like Xabi Alonso. I love how you all find him so attractive, when that one picture is his only good picture. He didn't usually ever look like that. Hang on. I'll show you what he looks like usually.

It makes me laugh because I've posted SO many pictures of Xabi Alonso on my blog before, and none of you have ever found him attractive but me. And now that ONE picture and you're all over him.












AND NOW I PICK FERNANDO TORRES.

YAY! YOU GUYS WANT TO PLAY AGAIN!!! I WANTED TO PLAY AGAIN TOO!!!

Whee! First I have to open itunes.

I just drove home from Vicki's house, in ORANGE. Do you guys understand how FAR THAT IS?! OMFG AND I DROVE THROUGH THE CARBON CANYON AT 10 PM AT NIGHT.
I'm sorry if anybody was driving there at that time and got stuck behind this relatively slow car... HEHE It was SCARY!!!! And they were all driving at like 70 when the speed limit was 45! I was at the speed limit!!! It was too scary to go any faster.
But I finally experienced what it's like to drive at 55.. It was freaky.

I LOVE YOU VICTORIA LEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I just do.
O YEAH AND MR. LEACH!!!!!!!!!!! HE GOT ME A FOOTBALL IN GERMANY!!!!! THAT HAS THE WORLD CUP LOGO AND STUFF ON IT!!!!!! WHEE IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! IT's gonna go on the cup Vicki and I desecrated!

Alright itunes game.
New rules: It doesn't matter if it's crossed out, answer it anyway, and I'm putting it on YOU not to cheat and look at other people's answers.
Here are the point schemes.. OOO I'LL MAKE IT LIKE FOOTBALL!!!

3 points=you get it right and it's not crossed out
1 point=you get it right and it's already crossed out
0 points=you get it wrong, obviously

Alright itunes is open.

1. "How strange this feeling that my life's begun at last." **
2. "I was so high I did not recognize the fire burning in her eyes."
3. "If you ever go across the sea to Ireland..." **** (Five points. AWW IRELAND!!!)
(Yogin gets 3 points for this. He doesn't know the artist.)
(Elsa gets 3 points too.)
4. "Back when I was a child. Before life removed all the answers."
5. "We were strangers starting out on a journey." (Elsa. I'll give you 2 for this. DONNA MARX?)
6. "It takes a lot to know what is love." ** (HOW is yogin getting all these BSB ONES)
7. "There's a place for us." (YAY TONY AND MARIA!!!)
8. "Empty spaces fill me up with holes." (YOGIN, of all people)

11. "Long lost worlds whisper slowly to me." **
12. "Do you hear the people sing, singing the songs of angry men?" (O THAT IS TOO EASY)
13. "I mistook the warnings for wisdom." ** (Elsa I'll be ashamed of you if you don't get this.)
14. "Don't say a word. I understand." ****** (SIX points to anyone who gets this. I'll be in shock if anyone does.)
(Yogin gets 3 points for that. Close. So close that if I weren't Elaine, it'd be right.)
(GOD what is up with you all? Robin gets 3 points for it too.)
15. "I follow the night. Can't stand the light." (Andy, of course)
16. "Love is a burning flame." (I will tell you that this is the Liverpool FC version)
17. "We've been through days of thunder." ** (haha this was Kathleen's song.)
18. "It started when you find yourself looking from the outside." **(I think those are the lyrics. Robin if you don't know this I'm SERIOUSLY ASHAMED.)
19. "Close your eyes. Make a wish that this could last forever." (I LOVE THIS SONG)
20. "Love can be a many splendid thing." (notice it's "splendid" not "splendored") (Alright Yogin is SERIOUSLY scaring me)

ARGH 20 songs and NO MCFLY. WHAT IS THIS. I have to continue.

21. "Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn." (HAHA Elsa your song.)
(YAY Elsa knows her song!)
22. "I wonder what the king is doing tonight." **
23. "Now you are here, again beside me." **

ERGH we're just gonna keep going until this thing gives me a McFly song.

26. "Could be. Who knows?" **
27. "I've just stepped in to see you all." **** (SIX points this one. I don't think anyone but me knows this song.)
(Yogin gets 3 points for this too. STOP LEECHING OFF BOBBY LING III!!!! But no I don't listen to the same artists as him apparently, because the girl I get these songs off of is purely at the Cliffs of Moher. She doesn't sell elsewhere I don't think.)
28. "Little Lotte let her mind wander."
29. "The world would be a lonely place without the one that puts a smile on your face." (Aww... Yogin pays attention!)
30. "Don't pretend you're sorry. You know you're not."

Apparently my itunes decided to tell me that I love the Backstreet Boys, not McFly tonight. Holy crap... I never knew shuffle could be that condensed.
Yeah just gave you a major hint there, so those who are familiar and love the Backstreet Boys, you always knew there was a benefit to it. SUCKS TO YOUR ASSMAR MICHAEL ROYSTON!

Special prize to whoever wins!

Scoreboard!
1. Robin 28 (WOOT GO ROBIN)
2. Elsa 24 (Elsa... I think if you'd tried harder and THOUGHT what 29 was instead of going "McFly song", or "Les Mis song" and been more specific... You'd have beaten Robin.)
1. Yogin 23 (Woww...)
2. Andy 3 (*sigh* Andy. If you looked closer, you'd know more and I know it.)
3. Royston 1

(To make Elsa not curse time difference as much, I counted hers and Robin's at the same time, so Elsa got full points if she and Robin got the same songs that aren't already crossed out.)

Here are the answers.

1. I look into the sky. All I have to ask why she'd go and leave me.
"Silence Is A Scary Sound"--McFly. I like to take a moment and be proud of myself, because this was the most widely known out of all of them. EVERYONE who answered knew this one. And a month ago, none of you would.
2. I linger in the doorway, my alarm clock screaming, monsters calling my name.
"Imaginary"--Evanescense. Points to Elsa
3. Home is where the heart is

"Bad Day"--Daniel Powter
10. She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you.
"She Falls Asleep, Part 2"--McFly
Again. EVERYONE KNEW THIS ONE. Again, proud of myself.

Hey this isn't cool. Just because I have songs sung in foreign languages. Now I have to go look it up.
11. Le canzoni non si scrivono ma nascono da se
"Passera"--Il Divo. They were on Chinese TV, which made me laugh.
12. Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me.

ULTIMATE AND IRREVOCABLE SHAME ON ELSA. SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!
"Shape Of My Heart"--Backstreet Boys

Good game guys.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL ROYSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I must say, since you were the person of the day on VICKI's birthday, she's the person of the day on YOUR birthday.
To make it even more fair, she has to share it... with... uh... who am I in love with today... DANNY!

YAY! Me and Amy took him out to lunch and surprised him completely. It was mucho fun.

Tuesday, June 27, 2006

alright since we seem to be having a hot-footballer debate here. Alright maybe just me and Robin, with a few Elsa interjections in between. And because I really have absolutely nothing better to do with my life, and to make Andy scoff and detest me even more, and because I absolutely love football and not the men playing it. Alright don't LAUGH. SERIOUSLY I DO!!! About 75% of me truly loves the football, but the other 25% of me can't help just jumping up a bit more and being a bit more excited and supportive of Spain because Fernando Torres is playing, or England because Steven Gerrard is playing.
Alright people, if you think I'm shallow when it comes to football, take a look at Steven Gerrard. He really IS NOT that good looking. Yes that is the ONE TIME and ONE TIME ONLY I will EVER say that. My dad thinks he looks like he's perpetually going to cry and he looks like an old woman, and everyone points out his born-with-wrinkles, but I LOVE HIM! Okay? He's STEVEN GERRARD, Liverpool skipper, Kop hero and legend, one of the top 5 midfielders in the world, and certainly the best midfielder in England (with Frank Lampard being the other contestant). SO I AM REALLY NOT THAT SHALLOW.

THIS IS PURELY BETWEEN ROBIN AND I, IF ANYONE ASKS. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK. ALL OTHER GIRLS (AND MALES, IF YOU LIKE) CAN VOTE FOR THEIR LIKE TOP 3 OR WHATEVER.

Robin asked me where I find all these hot football players? So here you are. I shall display them for you here.

So Robin, which ones do you want?

You can have him: Cristiano Ronaldo



You might have to fight off LEGIONS of adoring, shallow girls who don't know a thing about football and only watch the end of matches to see him take his shirt off.

I CLAIM HIM: Fernando Torres
Ergh not good pictures of him out there. He looks hotter on the pitch.


OMG how many hairstyles has this kid gone through?




Um... Robin's love: Lenny Pidgeley


EW. YOU CAN HAVE HIM.

I personally REALLY REALLY REALLY like him: Kaka
My favorite Brazilian player!




His wedding last year was SO FREAKIN NICE. She's so pretty. Like 600 people went and it was just so beautiful... And she's like what? 18 years old? And Kaka would like the world to know, that unlike every other footballer, he was a virgin when he got married. (AND A CATHOLIC! O LOOK MICHAEL! Your new best friend!)

I absolutely adore Xabi Alonso. My second favorite player in the world. And this is one instance where I can swear on my love for football that the adoration is completely because of football. He has NO good pictures, except for this one, in which he is a bit adorable.


BUT STILL. COMPLETELY PROFESSIONAL.
Haha Elsa would love his hair. Him and Jan Kromkamp.
He plays for Liverpool. That means he's mine.

An Anthony Le Tallec with GOOD HAIR and GOOD ATTITUDE. Gah he KILLED HIS OWN LIVERPOOL CAREER DAMN IT.


Robin van Persie: he looks like a horse from certain angles.


Wow he actually looks better in photos than on the pitch.


He IS cute, now that I think about it. even if he does play for Arsenal. but hey, i'll let robin have first pick on this one, because they have the same first name after all.

a YOUNG Michael Owen. Not the Michael Owen whose knee buckled after 60 seconds. Not the Michael Owen who keeps getting prevented from pulling on a Barcode shirt for a good reason. (haha Vicki, your dad) A young Michael Owen who was beautiful, quick, fit, and lethal in front of the goal. A Michael Owen who had spent his entire life at Melwood, getting set up by a young Steven Gerrard. Or as we knew him on the Kop: St. Michael.


Aww the FA Cup:


Stewart Downing: he's alright... reminds me a bit of Robin van Persie


Alright I'M SORRY if I just LIKE the stereotypical English boy look, alright?
Paul Anderson, Liverpool 17 year old right winger who is absolutely deadly and shall play first team next year. Holy shit he IS only a year older than me... oooo


ALRIGHT HE ISN'T HOT STUFF AT ALL. He looks like a little English boy with freckles and blue eyes. I CAN'T HELP IT.

The other Liverpool youth player I fancy: Antonio Barragan. Eighteen year old RB.


Ergh I don't like that picture of him.
In a picture that I can't seem to locate at the moment, he has the prettiest set of brown eyes I have ever seen in my life.

What is up with me and English and Spanish guys? O YES. Liverpool. That's why. Everyone we have is Spanish or English. Well, with a few exceptions.

Can't find any good pictures of Shane Long, though he's just another like 19 year old typical English boy that no one but Elaine would find attractive.

Who else is there? Let me think.

Just because he seems to have fans no matter WHAT i say, and there are people out there who find him attractive, I'll just throw it out there: David Beckham.
*shudder* *throw up* *disgusting* *gross*
Ignore the woman in the picture.


He looks like a big pretty boy, and he really hasn't played for Liverpool much yet: Jan Kromkamp.


Um... OO I absolutely loathe him because he plays for... *shudder* EVERTON, and he probably is their best player: Tim Cahill


Alright I'm done for now. I'll probably remember someone in the middle of the night. Well it IS the middle of the night technically.

And of course, save the favorite for last. Did you REALLY think I could forget him? Do I even have to name him?
All I have to do is find a picture of him smiling... this should take ages.




Do I even have to say it? MINE

OMG I've been so wrapped up in football all day:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got up early just to call her because I was afraid she'd have left already.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR VICKI
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

From Elaine, your twin brother and husband, spouse, wife, thing. I WON'T ABUSE YOU TODAY!
And from Danny, who shall marry us both!

WHEE!!!

Wow... I KNEW it would be football that FINALLY spun me off of McFly orbit, just a bit. Sorry people, but I STILL have been listening to them all day, but my thoughts haven't been DANNY DANNY DANNY all day.
Instead, it's GRIEVING FOR SPAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah... it's always football in the end.
BUT MCFLY!
Today was the first day I TRULY got into the World Cup. I love England, but I start out hyped and then watch them play and if it weren't England, I'd fall asleep. They kill my excitement, except for the few instances where Stevie G does something.
BUT SPAIN TODAY!!!!!!!!!

AWWWWWWW

Points to Michael Royston!
He's the person of the day, unless something better happens.
Well, him and Fernando Torres will have to share.

Alright I'm sorry. I like France over Spain in everything, EXCEPT THIS.

ARGH. Thierry Henry. I respect Thierry Henry with everything in my soul, and he is a legend, and I knew him as one of the last gentlemen left in football.

BUT HE DOVE TO GET THAT 2ND FREE KICK. SERGIO RAMOS DIDN'T TOUCH HIM!!!!!!!!! OR PUYOL OR WHOEVER IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YELLOW CARD? HENRY CHARGES UP TO HIM, AND THE SPANISH PERSON GETS PENALIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FERNANDO TORRES!!!!!!! EL NINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Xabi Alonso!!!!!!!! My second favorite player in the world!!


Fernando Torres again:


Alright I'm done.
I swear all those Cristiano Ronaldo fangirls will turn to Fernando Torres soon. GAH I HATE CRISTIANO RONALDO. CRYBABY!!! Even if he does look cute crying.. ERGH I HATE CRISTIANO RONALDO. I WILL NOT be another one of those girls who are in love with him. I WILL NOT. MANC SCUM!!!!!

I hope Fernando Torres doesn't go to Manchester Utd or Tottenham. I hope he doesn't come to England, unless he comes to Liverpool, but I know Rafa won't spend the 25 million on him. Because if he comes to England, I'll have to hate him.

I AM IN MOURNING
I CRY FOR SPAIN.

Just for Robin so she doesn't have to search agonizingly through my archives or youtube, which is very slow.



And just for Robin again, the requested dream interpretation, with Elaine's special twists because she interprets it that way and the dream interpretation book she owns thanks to Andy.
Aww Andy, I don't think you ever anticipated your gift being used for MCFLY. O how you rue the day.

Alright to warn you all and quote Dougie, the subject of this dream: This is a complete waste of time. It might be a bit amusing though to see what Elaine can come up with.

"ohmg. i had a my very first dream about dougie.. and there was the mermaid. like.. only that.. ohk there was this like.. oceanic abyss thing and like.. dougie was in a submarine and he ended up there.. and he was alone.. and like.. i dunno why.. but the submarine was like.. water filled.. hmm.. maybe it wasn't a submarine; maybe it was just a container with water that he was in. well, anyway, the mermaid was there, and she was really pretty.. but she was like a cannibal.. and like.. so when they kissed, she almost bit his lips off. and what was REALLY REALLY weird about it was that like.. you know how in hp5, harry has a dream in which he was the snake? yeah, this dream was like.. me being dougie. IT WAS SO WEIRD. and NO, that doesn't mean i dreamed about me having a cannibalistic lesbian kiss. but yeah, it was just weird.. but funny in a weird way.."

First of all: WEIRD DREAM. My dreams about Danny, which occur WAY TOO FREQUENTLY, not that I'm complaining, but it makes me wonder about the condition of my psyche.

My first interpretation: Robin wants to have a threesome with Dougie, another girl, in the water... SORRY I COULDN'T HELP IT!!!
Being more serious now:

Let's look for key things in my book:
water
mermaid
cannibal
hot guy
kissing
biting
being within Dougie, like Harry was within Nagini the snake in HP5
submarine/water-filled box

So...
WATER: "To play in watter denotes a sudden awakening to love and passion."
So Robin loves and desires Dougie. Nothing new.

MERMAID: Not in the book, so I shall search the vast expanse of the Internet for it.
"Tapping into your feminine, receptive, intuitive side and using it to access your deep inner realms. A spiritual transformation"

So Robin loves and desires Dougie and is tapping into her feminine side to get him. Or he is causing her to get into her more feminine side, not that she was masculine in the first place. Or that Dougie awakens a different side to her, a spiritual change?

CANNIBAL: Interesting... Um.. Robin's love for Dougie is so fierce that she might overstep it a bit when given the chance.

HOT GUY: Well, I think we all know what this means. Robin loves and wants Dougie, badly.

KISSING: Again, obvious, but I shall consult the book.
Kissing can mean:
Bonding or sharing
Expressing appreciation or love
Passion

OR, a darker side
Betrayal, kiss of death
Taking leave of something, detaching from it, kissing it goodbye

So, either Robin is desiring Dougie, which we all know, or she's saying goodbye to Dougie. NO DON'T DO IT BECAUSE I'LL BE ALONE IN MY MCFLY OBSESSION AND ANDY WILL OVERPOWER ME.
So, Robin desires Dougie.

SUBMARINE/BOX THING: Feeling restricted, contained, confined, limited, boxed in
Preparing something for release
OR
Handling something fragile
Something brand new, out of the box

So Dougie is in the box. Dougie needs to release himself, and he is about to embark upon a new adventure, a fragile relationship with Robin.
But boxing something in can also mean a new catch. Like you just caught something and you're boxing it to keep it yours, so maybe by Dougie being in a box, Robin's trying to keep him as hers.

The part I found most bizarre and worth interpreting, Robin being inside Dougie like Harry in Nagini the Snake in HP5.
Alright so I can already hear Yogin going, "DUH. She wants Dougie to be inside her..."
NO YOGIN NO. But that's an interpretation for you Robin.
Alright fine maybe that is a good interpretation. Umm... seeing things from Dougie's point of view? Uhh, being within Dougie... any ideas people?

Well on a more practical level, I think the only reason you dreamt of a "mermaid chick" as dougie puts it is because you just watched that interview on seventeen where he talks about kissing a "mermaid chick" underwater and then he could breathe underwater. You got the cannibal, biting thing because Harry's worst kiss was when this girl started biting him.

But on the dream interpretation level, the sum of all the symbols means that you desire Dougie, which is not news, and being within Dougie and the whole symbols with water and mermaids shows that Dougie awakens a different side in you, and being within the box and within Dougie shows that you wish to keep this love confined or together.

RIGHT.
Or you could just want to have sex with Dougie in the water. That's very plausible.

Robin, I tried! I love you! And now I'll go to sleep and have yet ANOTHER dream about Danny. It's SO WEIRD. I don't usually have dreams about guys that I can identify. Usually if the guys are identifiable, it's just my friends and we're all hanging out and most of the drama is between the girls anyway. NOT IN A SICK WAY. But if it's amorous, the guy is always unidentifiable and the only thing I'll remember is usually his hair, eyes, and smile. Usually just the hair and eyes part. So WHY AM I DREAMING ABOUT DANNY????????? ROBIN!!!! DREAM INTERPRETATION. I've never even dreamt about Steven Gerrard. Well I have, but that was because I was at the football match with Vicki and Matthew for some reason.

Good night people.

Stolen from Irene

Step 1: Put your MP3 player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 3: Ask everyone to guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: No cheating

I predict that Elsa will win.
Or maybe Robin.

It's kind of not fair because my ipod has 2500 songs in it and I listen to some obscure stuff..

1. I look into the sky. All I have to ask why she'd go and leave me. (Good job Michael. Robin will be mad you knocked out HER song. Robin and Elsa both knew this as well. Good.)
2. I linger in the doorway, my alarm clock screaming, monsters calling my name.(WHEE GO ELSA!!!! POINTS FOR YOU!)
3. Home is where the heart is (you'll never guess this one. well, except for one person) (Robin got it wrong, actually. The only person who will know this is Vicki.)
4. Everybody yeah. Rock your body yeah. (Woot go Elsa!)
5. Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place?(woot go robin!)
6. Even in my heart, I see that you're not being true to me. (ELSA HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS)
7. Don't you wanna go for a ride? Just keep your hands inside.(Elsa gets bonus points for this one too)
8. There is a paradise that can be found. (Robin put this as #6, though I assume that she meant this. BONUS POINTS FOR ROBIN!!!!)
9. Where is the moment we needed the most? (OOO EASY)(Good job Elsa.. so easy. Can't believe Robin didn't answer that one.)
10. She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you. (WOW Michael REALLY knows McFly. He even included "Part 2"! Robin and Elsa both knew.)

Hey this isn't cool. Just because I have songs sung in foreign languages. Now I have to go look it up.
11. Le canzoni non si scrivono ma nascono da sé (Kristina, if you don't know this one I'm ashamed of you.)
12. Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me. (O THAT IS A GIVEAWAY)(WHEE GO ELSA!)
13. Oooo my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch. (ANDY YOUR SONG!!! O btw, it's not the original. I'll tell you it's by my favorite American Idol person.)(YAY elsa gets more bonus points.)
14. Past the point of no return. No backward glances.(Robin and Elsa)
15. It's a new day but it all feels old. It's a good life that's what I was told. (ELSA HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS ONE?)
16. Night lift up the shades; let in the brilliant light of morning. (Hard)
17. Yeah I know it hurts. Yeah I know you're scared, walking down the road that leads to who knows where.(More bonus points for Elsa)
18. Cosette, it's turned so cold. Cosette, it's past your bedtime. (OO CHARACTER NAMES JUST GIVE IT AWAY) (Michael's kicking your arses people... I'm disappointed in you! Elsa... NO. Castle on A cloud is SUNG by Cosette. She doesn't refer to herself as Cosette.)
19. Try to tell me what I shouldn't do. You should know by now I won't listen to you.(WOW Robin got all the ones I didn't expect people to get)
20. Baby, please try to forgive me. Stay here, don't put out the glow.(THANK YOU ROBIN. This is like the easiest one on the list. ELSA HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS. YOU ARE BANNED FOREVER. THIS IS THE EASIEST SONG ON THE LIST OTHER THAN "Point of No Return", "Edelweiss", and "She Falls Asleep, Part 2" because those three give away the song title in the first line.)

Interesting mix we've got in there. Lots of pop, lots of favorites, lots of rock, some Broadway. I liked shuffle tonight, wow. Most of those are my favorites.

I don't like girls.
I really don't.
Girls are bitches.

Guys are awesome.

I've thought this my entire life, and I thought at Troy I got over it a bit, as more than half of my closest friends are GIRLS now, instead of the other way around, as it was for the first 15 years of my life.
A great example of this is at Les Mis.

Let's join the girl circle. We are all powdered, eye-shadowed, thong, tight jeans, spaghetti strap-wearing, with hair that took hours to blow-dry, too much mascara, walking around like we're the prettiest girls ever, and with absolutely nothing in our heads. We stand here and gossip when we're not needed, exchanging stories about how this one bitch got into a fight with you over a guy and called you a slut.
"OMG really? What'd you to do her?"
"I smacked her."
"Well see, it happens to you a lot, because you're so pretty and they're just jealous."
We pretend to be sympathetic, pretend we all love each other, and squeal and give each other hugs for no apparent reason.
O yeah, and we even spent a full 30 minutes comparing thongs and talking about the latest sale where you can get the cute green and purple one that shines. O yes and we go around school going, "Wow I'm wearing cute underwear today."
Alright so you keep your pants on in public don't you? And you're not going to sleep with anyone tonight? So why do you need cute underwear that is shiny? WHY I ASK?

So we float over to the guys. CASSIDY IS SO AWESOME. He's like the only friend I've made. Well other than Royston, but he doesn't count because I already knew him. Donovan likes me, because he's like 13 years old and nobody else talks to him, and I talk to Drew once in a while.
BUT CASSIDY IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Yeah.. I'm his whore. It's awesome. We're drunk together in "Master of the House", I'm his whore in "Lovely Ladies", we poke each other randomly when we're backstage, we have slapfights (or we did today), we sing Rent and Wicked together completely off key, and we scream about random things.
So if anybody goes to Chick Fil A and sees a guy named Cassidy working there, tell them Elaine says hi.

I think my blog is malfunctioning. it's not turning up altogether, or it's only showing the graphic and the lyrics of "Too Close For Comfort".

Trying to fix here.

You know, I am REALLY anti-Asian for an Asian.
Actually, not just for an Asian. For anyone.
White-washed anglophile and proud of it.
That's why Roshi used to always call me "banana" and "twinkie".

So if anyone asks:
I am a banana-flavored twinkie with a Union Jack inside.

Alright I know you're all sick and tired of McFly and hate their guts and hate my guts for loving them so much, but...

WOW

This article was published in a British magazine and it completely blew me away. It's completely un-McFly, meaning it's MATURE, completely. Not even little Dougie comments. And it touches on deeper issues than just what kinds of girls they fancy.

I know none of you give a damn and seriously, if you don't give a damn, don't read this. Don't complain to me though. I post what I want on MY blog.

But for the three people who genuinely love McFly who come here, I'm posting this.

Here's to you, Robin, Vicki, and Elsa.

http://www.dougiepoynter.net/gallery/details.php?image_id=8590

There's stuff cut off because the scan couldn't get to it, but I'll post most all that here.

The band's songs-invariably self penned-often contains elements of autobiographies. Their hit The Ballad Of Paul K alludes to their fathers' midlife crises-and in Danny's case, has turned out to be unhappily prescient. 'While I was away filming in America my dad had an affair,' he says. 'He's left mum in such a mess. This new woman goes around saying, 'I'm going out with Danny from Mcfly's dad' And to think I helped him out when he was in debt.
Danny, a no-nonsense 20- year- old Lancastrian educated by catholic priests at Thornleigh College, Bolton, preserves a zero tolerence approach to parential infidelity. He has not spoken to his father, who is a prison officer, since he abandoned his mum, Kathy.

Dougie, at 18, the youngest of the band, is also alienated from his absentee father, Gary. 'My dad vanished off the face of the earth for two weeks before I joined the band. Mum was in pieces when he went.'

Wow... poor lads. Poor Danny. A couple weeks ago, I was asking Vicki who Danny is singing "Don't Know Why" to, because the lyrics don't make sense if they're about a girl. But it has to be something personal because
#1 it's the one song he wrote completely by himself, not even with his sister like "Not Alone"
#2 he looks so moved when he sings it in concert.

And finally, it makes sense.

I don't want to know your game
Let alone her name
Don't matter what you say to me
We are not the same
Why do you make me cry?
Try to justify
Don't right your wrongs with my mistakes
Cuz my head's held high

And I don't know why
I just let it slip by
In all the time
I just wish you'd had tried.

Dreams we had as kids all fade away
Now it's not the same...


Wow.. " Don't Know Why" just took on a completely different meaning.

I know how he feels, even though I was a lot younger when it happened, unlike him...

But he's still such a nice, sweet idiot.

With rock star status came its inevitable corollary: instant recognition and the fawning devotion of droves of teenage fans. If the constant, clamorous attention gets onerous, the boys are good at hiding it. Danny- the perpetually genial: anxious not to give offence, often ends up chatting interminably to fans.
'I always say hello and talk to them as if they're friends,' he says. 'They ask for autographs, then they want a chat and sometimes, when I'm out with my family and just want a moment to myself, I spend hours talking. Once I ended up going home with a taxi driver to meet his kiddies. He said, 'my house is on the way to yours.' so I said 'okay, we'll go round then.' When I got there, they were all in too much shock to speak.'


Aww go Danny..

O yeah... and after you read that article, if you didn't already hate Lindsay Lohan. You do now. OMFG. BITCH. Yeah Harry. Come to my hotel room. Spend the night with me. After that, I'll completely ignore you and then throw a temper tantrum because you're deciding to come out about it.

Harry said:
We sat together during the meal and she chatted to me about girls I'd been out with. She asked if I'd ever been out with an older woman, and I said I'd once dated a 30-year-old. After the meal, we all went on to a club in a limo. she said, 'Harry, you're sitting next to me.' Later, she introduced me to a few people as her boyfriend (her little joke) Then she said, 'Kiss me.' I was really nervous, I can tell you, because she's so super successful and talented. I thought, "this is awesome". Then she invited me back to her hotel: I left at eight the next morning.

A couple of nights later, he and Lindsay found themselves at the same party. 'I was chatting to Jude Law and Sean Penn. Lindsay ignored me the whole evenimg. Then, at the end of the night, she asked me to go back to her hotel again. I said I was tired and declined. The last time I saw her was at the hollywood premier of the film. She gave me a kiss on the cheek: we exchanged a few words. I don't know if I'll see her again, at the british premier. It could be pretty awkward if I do. Perhaps she'll slap me for talking so openly about her.'

Haha.. I'd like to see her slap Harry with all those British girls screaming their heads off for McFly. The only reason why her STUPID movie will sell like none before in Britain is because McFly's in it. She should know that. That was THE stupidest chick flick I have EVER seen, and possibly the WORST movie I've EVER seen. The only reason I saw it was because of McFly. Vicki saw it TWICE because of McFly.

Prospective dates, too, have become abundant. The lads claim they have no difficulty in picking the genuine girls from the kiss-and-tell brigades, although Danny was once caught out. "A girl went to bed with him and sold the story," reports Tom. "She said he wasn't very good and kept his socks on. We thought it would ruin us. But it didn't."

Bad Danny. Bad.
And hey, he's a Catholic too. "Lancastrian educated by catholic priests at Thornleigh College, Bolton"
Wow and he went to religious school too. Wow Michael will be ashamed.

"It's not a crime to go to bed with someone if you're single, is it?" asks Harry, adding laconically, "It's only a crime if they say we were rubbish."

I sigh at Harry, and I know Michael will damn them to hell forever...

The only band member who has a steady girlfriend is Tom, whose relationship with a drama school student (he has always resolutely declined to name her) predates his McFly days. "We were friends at school," says Tom, who grew up with two siblings in Harrow, Middlesex, where his mum works with autistic children and his dad is a chaperone for child actors in plays and films. "We'll have been together for three years in October. She does get a little bit worried when I go on tour, but if you're really committed you find ways to make a relationship work. Are we serious? Yes. If we weren't we wouldn’t have been together this long."

Aww go Tom!

On Danny:
Who would be his ideal date? "Kelly Clarkson!" he says, referring to the first winner of TV's American Idol. "Dougie and I are fighting over her. Her voice! We both love her. We went to her concert. We could go on a double date with her." Where would they go? "To Monkey World in Dorset," says Danny, who has a talent for producing unexpected answers. "That would be cool."

Robin!!! We need to go in there and show them that we can sing like Kelly Clarkson! Alright no we can't, but we can try!

And a bit just for Robin:
Dougie is an Essex boy whose vowels have acquired a polished edge since he joined the group. 'I taught him 'posh',' quips in Danny, the joker in the pack, whose often-impenetrable Northern accent remains unleavened by a three-year sojourn in the South. (the boys have each brought homes, a stone's throw from one another, in the leafy Middlesex commuter belt.)

YAY it better not be "leavened by a three-year sojourn in the South." his accent's one of the best things about him. I'm a bit sad they all moved out of McFly Mansion as all the home videos were loads of fun of course, and because the prospect of four teenage boys living together in a huge house just makes me laugh.

Words like 'surreal', 'awesome', and 'wicked' pepper their conversation. They have not become jaded or cynically inured to the privilege that wealth and fame confer. They want to use their talent to good effect. To this end they recorded a single for Comic Relief and co-headlined the Live 8 concert in Japan.

Tom is financing his sister's path through private school. Harry, a keen cricketer, has also raised money through charity matches, for teenage cancer sufferers. "My best friend in the whole wide world, James Gardiner, had leukemia when he was 12. He survived and he fit is now, but it was an awful scene at the time and I tried to help him through it," he says. "I also visit young cancer patients. If you can brighten someone's day it is very rewarding."

Aww go them.

Alright I'm done. I'm done.
"Don't Know Why" is rapidly becoming the favorite song again. It got topped by "Memory Lane" and "I've Got You" for a while, but it made its way back!

I love watching that bit in concert.
Probably because Danny's the only one on stage...
Poor Danny... *hug*

10 PM-1 AM is now known as Elaine-Rant-Zone. ERZ. Sounds like OZ.. OOO JEN! IT'S THE SPANISH VERSION OF OZ!!!!!

Alright ANYWAY

Did anyone ever notice that SEW rhymes with ROUSSEAU?
Yeah well I DID!!!!

"Garage" and "Collage".. I'll never be able to say those the English way.

I HAD A RANT IN MIND. AND THEN MICHAEL MADE ME FORGET IT.

Ah well.. it's only 9:37. THE NIGHT IS YOUNG MY FRIENDS!

The stars collide
Will you stand by and watch them fall?
So hold me till the sky is clear
And whisper words of love right into my ear...


Yes please, Danny...

Cuz I've got you
To make me feel stronger
When the days are rough
and an hour seems much longer
Yeah I've got you
To make me feel better
When the nights are long
They'll be easier together

For those of you who have already read and passed judgement on my little spiel/story/scenario from last night, you all favor Harry.
Yeah.. on paper, everyone would. He "followed his dreams". Following the cliches and all the sappiness, Harry was "happier", but seriously:

Who would you rather be?

When it's your turn, don't tell me it's that easy to pick Harry.

Which path would you choose?

ENGLAND WINS!!!!!
England 1-0 Ecuador
David Beckham

Beautiful strike.

Pathetic, dismal game though. I got up early for that. First time all summer, and to me it was worth it, though my dad hasn't stop bitching about it for the past three hours. Not MY fault we don't have cable at this house so we have to drive to my mum's.

Hopefully the Portugal/Netherlands game will be good. Well it probably will. They're both good teams who are evenly matched. I don't know which side I'll take... Hmm.. I always take a side, but I haven't quite made up my mind yet. Probably the Dutch, because their fans were insane today on TV. All that orange! HAHA that guy with the woman... hat/body-frame... thing... that guy was awesome. I hope I can find a picture and post it, because that is hardcore.

Guys, I love Elsa.
For those of you who don't know Elsa, you're missing out. She's so weird it's awesome. I don't think you could ever find someone else like her. Just the way she talks is awesome. I mean seriously, who else *squints* at you through AIM? Or tells you you have a "noggin"... *sigh* Or likes Harry! Actually, a lot of people do, but STILL.
I'm SORRY guys, I had to get in the McFly somehow...

Saturday, June 24, 2006

I just finished making part one of Vicki's present. I'm really proud of myself. It's very beautiful and I did it ALL by myself!

Elsa and I are so similar. It's so much fun, yet a handful as we are both insane. But it's much more than just we laugh about the same things, we cry at the same things, we fear the same things, and we love the same things. I mean yes we both are very exacting in what we love and very obsessive and passionate about it when we do love something. Her with her pirates, hobbits, and Scots. Me with my football, Elves/Gondorians, and Englishmen. We both have a temper. We both get sentimental at what other people think is nothing. We both love Wicked, Phantom, Rent, McFly, and just music overall.
And we both are never satisfied. We both always want something more. We always dream too far and fly too high. She always wants to be sailing the seas and I always want to be in England. But I think that even when she's on a ship or a plane and I'm in England, we'll always keep having crazy dreams.
So what's wrong with that, you ask?
Other than making your friends deal with your incessant ramblings about your obsessions and never being satisfied and always falling on your ass with disappointment, it is good to dream.
So let's deal with the cliches of, "Never give up on your dreams." "Keep dreaming." "Reach for the stars," etc. Obviously, dreaming is what fuels hard works, which then leads to success. Dreams might actually come true for a lot of people, but what if they don't? What if you try and you try and you dream and you dream and all you ever do is fall down? They say the truly successful people are the ones who slap the bandaid on the bloody knee and try again. And then you get the success story. But sometimes Goliath does beat the shit out of David, and no one bothers to tell that story. What happens to David then? Disillusionment? A story of John Steinbeck to cover? Suicide?

You always keep dreaming, or at least I do, and if one dream doesn't come true you find another one. So is life just an endless and at times futile chase? Are we all just like the dog that spins in circles chasing its tail?

Alright now let's have an example scenario. Say we have... pick two names... Danny and Harry. Yes I know, what a surprise.
So Danny's a kid born into an "Asian" family (not necessarily Asian, but I'm merely getting at the stereotype of like pressuring, hard-working parents). From the time he could talk they teach him how to read, how to write, and all he ever does is read read learn, prepare for the future. Preschool. Kindergarden. Elementary school. Junior high. High school.
Gradually, his dreams change as all of ours do. He goes from wanting to be an astronaut to a firefighter to whatever else little boys want to do. He picks up the guitar and he's not a bad singer. In high school, he realizes, "Hey I wanna be in a band," and he joins some band with three of his friends. It's a load of fun and Danny dreams about doing this for a living, but obviously, his parents and his "Asian" side tell him, "Obviously, you can't do that. Musicians starve. Work. Work. Work. That's the only way you'll get anywhere. It's the only way you'll be happy. If you give up some of your youth now, it'll pay off later. You have to prepare for your future."
He spends 18 years of his life working his ass off, "preparing for the future", with his parents always telling him, "If you get straight As, if you work hard, if you are the valedictorian, you'll get into a good college." Alright so he does. And he gets into... Yale. Or even, let's go with the top of the top, Harvard.
He goes to Harvard where he's going to major in... medicine (because he's a good asian boy). He works his ass off for ANOTHER what like ten years it is to be a doctor? All the while, it's still, "If you work hard, if you get that internship, if you get good grades, etc, you'll have a great future. You'll have a great future." He forgets guitar. Forgets about music. Forgets those old dreams. They're impractical anyway. Always, it's, "If you do THIS, you'll have a great future." His entire life has been that. But what is that great future?

That's the only reason I kind of liked the Matrix movie (ONLY the first one) because that's kind of what it dealt with. All those people living in the world, they're told that the wine tastes good, that the steak is better at medium rare than at well done. (OO now I want steak..) That they should go to school, that they should go to work. Why? I am completely diverted from my whole dream-rant, now I'm on something else that I can't even define.
You'll be successful if you do this, they all tell him for 28 years of his life, at least.
So let's say Danny is now 30. *shudder* He's FINALLY graduated from medical school and now he's a doctor. He sets up his own practice, or to make it more interesting, he works at the local hospital. There, he meets this hot nurse named Vicki and they fall in love and all is well and they get married. Punch out some kids the next couple of years. They have a nice life. Two kids, a dog, and a wife. He doesn't know... ALRIGHT NO QUOTING "Ballad of Paul K". Anyway. So they're pretty well off, nice little house in suburbia, good jobs, pretty good income, nice cars, two kids, a dog, a couple cats, the white picket fence, the American Dream.
Is that it?
Alright it's a really nice picture that's really pretty and sweet and we can all pause and go, "aww" for a moment.
But is that it?
He does that for 30 years, retires, him and Vicki live in a retirement home while their kids visit them once in a while, and then they die, knowing they lived a "good life".
Is that it?

Now let's go with the other kid: Harry.
So Danny and Harry were best mates growing up, played football together, in the same band together, always hung out, dreamt of being musicians together, etc. But Harry was different from Danny. Danny got straight As. Harry couldn't even pull off Cs. When Danny went to Harvard, Harry couldn't keep up at the community college, so he dropped out and gets like five jobs, washing cars, making coffee, packing groceries, flipping burgers, and whatever else you can think of. Blue collar work basically. While he's at it, he keeps on playing his music, joining bands and playing gigs at pubs and such, never really getting anywhere, but he loves it. He meets this pretty girl named Elsa and they move in together. They don't really have alot of money, and they live in a bad part of town, but they love each other and they make do with what they have. They have a couple of little annoying, precious kids, and they're one big happy family, however poor. The kids grow up. Harry and Elsa get old. They move into a retirement home (probably the same one as Danny and Vicki), and they die, knowing that they lived a "happy life" as well.
Is that it?

So who's happier?
Danny or Harry?

I COMPLETELY forgot the purposes of those stories.
So:
Who's happier?
Danny or Harry?

(O yes.. Elsa I'm sorry I made you guys the poor ones. It just turned out that way.)

Alright guys I tried. I really did, but I really can't help myself. I was reading an interview and...

Q: You were a promising footballer?
DANNY: It was not professional but it was a good level for my age. It was a local side, Turton FC, and you got paid to play in the first team and I got a few shots at the first team. Then it came to a stage where it was music or football. I played right and left wing.

OOO he was a winger... that means he has pace.

IT'S FATE!!!!! I KNEW THERE WAS SOME CONNECTION AND THERE IS!!!!
Danny:
Recently I played at Anfield against Liverpool Legends in a charity match. I played against Robbie Fowler, it was amazing.


GOD AND DANNY AT THE SAME TIME!!!

OOO Vicki. When the JML DVD comes out, we have to buy it and watch for this:
HARRY: There is a moment in a studio scene when I am behind the drum kit and you might see that I have the giggles.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!

Alright that's my phrase of the day.
My report card came today. My dad left it on the table and wouldn't open it, because he didn't want to know. I didn't know my grades so I opened it, and WHEE!!! Everything turned out the way I wanted it to be! I had bunch of borderline grades and I didn't know how they turned out and WHEE it all turned out on the good side of the border (to mexicans: the american side) JKJK! Don't hurt me!
So I ended up with 6 As and 1 B. Eh... not the best, but hey a huge improvement from last semester and a LOT better than what I thought I was going to end up with.

Remind me to rant on jealousy alright? Someone remind me. Probably Royston. But yeah!

Friday, June 23, 2006

Hmm... people. What shall I talk about. As Andy pointed out, I haven't had a
"real" post in a while. Indeed, most of it contains random McFly pictures and interjections about Danny's perfection. WHOA I just sounded like Shayne right there. Hmm... that reminds me. I have to call that guy. I think he's in Hawaii. Hehe that very image makes me laugh.

What shall I rant about?

Life still baffles me.
Death still frightens me.
Friends still make me happy.
Andy still enlightens me.
Elsa still brightens up my day.
Michael still complains to me.
Vicki still makes me happy.
Yogin still listens to me.
(Don't know why)
Robin still obsesses over McFly with me.
I'm still as obsessive as ever, if not more so.
And above all, I still love you all!

Alright now that the little cheesy/sentimental moment has passed. What shall I talk about now?
Hmm... to boost some egos and give back to you lot what you've given me (whee happiness), I shall do something neither Andy nor I have done in ages. It used to be called "the Andy Award". Uh.. now, it's... YEAH. You come up with a name for it.

Who shall my first victim be?? OO I know, my favorite person.
VICKI! (Or as I like to crow, "viCKEEEEEEEEEEY!!" at 6:50 in the morning)
So.. why is she my favorite person? Other than the fact that she IS my twin brother AND my husband, wife, uhh, person... let's go with SPOUSE (don't ask people), and that she introduced me to my current love: McFly, what do I heart about Vicki? I can't exactly pinpoint it, but when we're together, it's just insane. I don't know if you can have TOO much fun, but if ever there was a friendship that was like that, it's ours. We always have something to talk about, laugh about, make fun of each other about, and if nothing else, obsess about. We just bring up some inside joke and instantly, we'll break out into laughter. And there's always more inside jokes forming, what with diarrhea, mountain lions, tuberculosis, Asian/British switching, random stuff about McFly, comp sci programs, spiders, smelly ones, chicken pox, what a man has that a woman doesn't, aprons, bonnets, lishes, and the list goes on. And plus, she's the only person I ever bother replying to text messages for. My parents will probably hate her for that when the phone bill comes... *shudder*
At times it's even freaky, because I swear we think the same. Yes definitely freaky. We'll say the exact same things at the exact same times. We'll be cleaning our rooms at the same times. We'll go through McFly-member-liking-cycles the same way (Dougie, Harry is hot, OOO DANNY). And the freakiest: we dressed the same. I swear that morning we turned up in comp sci, and it was: jeans, black t-shirt, grey jacket. And then the next day, she was going to wear the red shirt with jeans, like I did that day, but left the red shirt in her locker, so wore... I think green or black or something.
Sometimes it's like we're "soulmates", except platonically, of course, because we're both in love with Danny and he's gonna marry us anyway. YES BIGAMY IS ALLOWED (as Robin so nicely stated the other day). But yeah... she is so awesome and I love her. I'm just happy when she's around. WHEE!

Plus, she's British. So when she goes there next week, she will BRING ME BACK STUFF (*hint hint glare glare*). VIDEO CAMERA VICKI. VIDEO CAMERA I TELL YOU!!! I'll fast forward through the nine hours of your snoring if I have to!!

OOO and her daddy brings me presents back from Germany and didn't bring any of them any! MUAHAHA

Wow that was long. Alright I'm sorry if any of these aren't as long. I mean seriously, we're twin brothers AND we're married... You're not any of those, so uh... what do you expect?

Let's see... who... since he IS the person of the month: Yogin.
Ah, the one with the dot. The one with the dot has grown up a lot in the past year. No longer the EXTREMELY annoying boy who Kristina, Celia, and I had to sit on in English last year. OUR COUCH YOGIN. OURS. THE COUCH IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WOMEN. Alright anyway, I tell Yogin anything and everything. Most of the time, I tell him stuff I really shouldn't because they probably hurt his feelings, but I do anyway for some odd reason. I swear when I talk to that boy it's like the faucet's turned on and you can't turn it off until there's no more water. And he's always listening, and he swears on his dot that he remembers everything I say, including the many lengthy descriptions of the many perfections of Daniel Jones. Poor guy.
He does the sweetest things, Yogin does. Little things that make me smile like an aluminum foil rose that he and Bobby somehow twisted together while they were bored in chem and is now sitting in the cup Vicki and I desecrated in English one day on top of my CDs right next to my monitor. Hey I'm looking at it right now. Then he'll go take hours out of his life and make me collages that are beautiful like that (scroll up), and then beats himself up because he's afraid I won't like it. But I do, of course.
And through it all, he never complains. Through all my tirades and tantrums and mood swings and picking-Vicki-over-him, he just sits there and MAINTAINS adamantly that "I'm fine!!" He lies to me so much... Most of the time I'd rather know what he's thinking/feeling though.. I swear that boy knows every thought that goes through my head and I know like nothing.
He can always make me laugh. I know it's not hard to make Elaine laugh, but through AIM at midnight when I'm in one of my midnight moods, he's one of the few people who always manage to. Ryan can do it too, oddly, even though he's probably off shooting some Swiss people after Korea lost today... Or drowning himself. That might be it. BACK TO YOGIN. I don't know. I really should stop rambling. He's just a great guy and I don't treat him as well as I should, and definitely not as well as he treats me, and being very sweet as usual he just puts up with it, so somebody slap me for it, please? (Not hard though, if you please.)

Alright last one of the night: Royston.
Wow. Now I really don't know what to say. He's a great guy and he's gone through a lot in his life. Half of it, especially the stuff right now, is because he blows it up way out of proportion (sort of like me), but still. For all his faults, he tries really hard and he's really nice once you get past the whole exterior. He might feel like an outcast (God help the outcasts! Alright no more Esmeralda) a lot of the time, but he's working on that and people are just stupid anyway. He's really sweet and devoted to whoever the object of his affection may be (alright a bit TOO devoted), and she's a lucky girl, even if she doesn't know it.
O yeah, and he is a great dance partner. Don't know what I'd do without him. If I had anyone else I'd die, especially Raul or Drew, because they don't know what they're doing either, so we'd really suck then. (Haha Brianna and Donovan.) Other than not realizing that I am stupid and my feet haven't moved yet and nearly crushing them with his ginormous feet, he's really nice about my stupidity (most of the time) and leads me (though I hate being lead).
He's also a good listener. Wow. I like to have friends that can listen, don't I? Hmm.. I wonder why. PROBABLY because I do all the talking, but actually with Royston, it's the other way around (as he will testify). He might not give the best advice in the world (Jen), or be the best at cheering me up (Yogin), or go on philosophical tangents with me (Andy), but he listens and his sincere "I'm sorry", just makes whatever you're wallowing in a bit better. At least you know it's sincere, unlike other people.
O yeah and he sticks up for what he believes in, a trait that allows me to believe that someday he shall grow a backbone. (!!!) I mean seriously, he doesn't like a McFly song because the girl is pregnant and not married. THEY'RE ENGAGED! LORD HAVE MERCY! You're CATHOLIC! You're like pro-childbirth! IT'S A SONG!!! I'M SURE "FIANCE" JUST FIT BETTER THAN "HUSBAND" WHEN IT CAME TO RHYMING THAT LINE. Not that I'm encouraging pre-marital sex or anything. But anyway, he knows what his morals and values are, and though I might not agree with some, or actually ANY of them, I respect them, because it gets hard to find people who actually have them, or adhere to them in any case.
But again, IT'S A SONG. YOU SAID YOU LIKED IT EXCEPT FOR THAT. Are McFly going to hell now? Wouldn't it be MORE immoral if they were still thinking about her and she's married? Like... infidelity? Or something? Ah well, I suppose McFly are going to hell in your book anyway.

Woww that was long. All three of them. I manage to prattle on without stopping for breath...

I LOVE MY BANNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can just sit here and stare at my blog. WHEE!

WHEEE IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE SIZING WORKS!!!!

YOGIN IS PERSON OF THE MONTH!

MUAHAH I GLOAT!

My dad got pissed at me.
I'm like not allowed on the computer and he took away my ipod.

So yeah... I'm a bit pissed off right now.

Alright Yogin, so I went in and doubled the size.

Now the quality isnt' that great, but it's bigger...

STUPID FREAKIN SIZING

Thursday, June 22, 2006

I LOVE YOGIN.

LOOK AT THE BANNER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT ALREADY!!!!!!!

ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!1?

*SQUEALS IN DELIGHT*

*SPINS IN ECSTASY*

*DOES HAPPY DANCE*

I critiqued it for about an hour. Tore the poor boy into pieces. *HUG* Now it's better. We're adding lyrics, but you guys must critique for me. I think the left side is still too boxy, but still.

FEEDBACK PEOPLE! So Yogin can make it PERFECT.

Yogin is person of the day!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a non-Mcfly ecstasy moment.. I know those are hard to come by these days.

I drove home from the theatre today, which is like 8 miles. At 10:30 at night. first time driving that much. first time driving at night.
It was quite frightening, yet exhilirating.

And Andy is now taunting me with his freedom.

*sigh*

It shall be mine someday.

O yeah, I learned how to waltz Wednesday night. that was interesting. I SUCK. Michael Royston is a GREAT partner. I know, you all gasp and are shocked. He's learned it all before, and I'd die if I had another partner, because he basically just lead me around, even though he realized that I don't like to be lead.

I wanna learn ballroom! I'd DIE, but STILL!

I AM TRIUMPHANT!!!

VINI VIDI VICI!!!!!!!!

I CAME
I SAW
I CONQUERED!!!!!!!

well, in the name of McFly.

Because... I promised all of you, that ONE BY ONE, you'd ALL LOVE THEM!!!!! One by one I'd sneak past your built-in anti-McFly sensors (and you guys were only anti-McFly because I am so pro-McFly. you guys never even gave them a chance! JUDGEMENTAL HYPOCRITES!!!!) But sooner or later, I KNEW that I would either have you cornered or you would FINALLY SUCCUMB to the incessant, un-ceasing barrage of McFly.
AND NOW...

YOU HAVE SUCCUMBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Besides the loyal, obsessive core of Vicki, Robin, and Elaine. I now have:

ELSA
Quoting DIRECTLY from her xanga post from today:
"I'm formally stating: I love McFly, and I love Harry, who contributes "absolutely nothing" to the band.

Cuz obviously she's outta my league
I'm wastin' my time cuz she'll never be mine
And I know I never will be good enough for her

What a happy, bouncy song, hehehe."


She FORMALLY STATED IT!!!!!!
And it wasn't "I like McFly", or "They're growing on me", or "Isilme made me", but "I LOVE MCFLY"

And she even quoted them! VERBALLY AND MUSICALLY! MUAHAHAH! SUCCESS #1

And then we have ROYSTON, who I single-handedly converted within the space of a car ride back from the theatre. Well, I single-handedly converted Elsa with incessant McFly-ism, but STILL.
IN HIS OWN WORDS, from an AIM that is going on right now:
MikeLovesBooks (12:57:15 PM): dam...i can't believe you got me to like a mcfly song
MikeLovesBooks (12:58:18 PM): ill just stick to likeing the music and hating the band
isilmegerrard (12:58:28 PM): GASP
isilmegerrard (12:58:30 PM): YOU CAN'T DO THAT
isilmegerrard (12:58:33 PM): it's NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE
MikeLovesBooks (12:58:45 PM): what do you mean by that?
isilmegerrard (12:59:02 PM): that's jusT STUPId
isilmegerrard (12:59:06 PM): you only dislike them because I LIKE THEM
isilmegerrard (12:59:09 PM): correction: I LOVE THEM
MikeLovesBooks (12:59:21 PM): lol probably...i need something to bug you about
MikeLovesBooks (12:59:47 PM): ok lets put it this way
MikeLovesBooks (1:00:05 PM): i like some of their songs... i have no preference over anybody in the band k?

That means he likes Tom. Alright JKJK. BUT MICHAEL LOVES THEM TOO!!!!!!!!! WHEE TRIUMPH #2!!!

At #3, we have the least-plausible:
YOGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not have the AIM conversation saved, unfortunately, or else I would have his confession here, but he LIKES "All About You".
I distinctly remember him saying that it was one of the few non-rap songs he would listen to. HE LOVES THEM! HE LOVES THEM! AND he would like to hang out with Harry, becasue he's cool.
Yogin ranks them in this order:
1. Harry (because he's cool)
2. Danny (because he's funny)
3. Tom (because he's funny too)
4. Dougie (because he's just weird)

[EDIT]
Yogin just admitted ONCE MORE:
lilgujuboy26 (1:18:52 PM): i like one mcfly song
lilgujuboy26 (1:18:58 PM): "its all about u"

WHEEE!!!! and yesterday, he was singing it incessantly! LIKE he sang it more than me!!! it was frightening!

WHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Kathleen likes a couple of their songs, but REFUSES to be drawn in by my net. But don't you worry, I'll get her soon. Kristina and Jen must also be allured. Jen should be easy, as they play guitar and Dougie's hot in her eyes. Kristina shouldn't be too hard because they're four very good-looking British guys whose music is around the range she would like.

OMG
STOP THE PRESSES
MICHAEL ROYSTON JUST ANNOUNCED

MikeLovesBooks (1:09:37 PM): i cant believe i am asking you this but
MikeLovesBooks (1:09:46 PM): could you burn me a cd with some mcfly songs i would like

IT IS OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM CAESAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now all I have to do is conquer that bloody Egypt. I mean... ANDY.
He is as anti-McFly as you can get, even though he ADMITTED To liking "Five Colours in Her Hair".
The cynic will be cracked!

Aww Eddie sent me this.

It made me laugh, smile, and feel sad all at the same time.
I also got extremely excited for many of them.

*hugs eddie*

I remember those days... I BEAT YOU AT OREGON TRAIL!

Just because you were born in '92 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

I remember when Roshi hit me really hard with one of those..

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...
Haha this makes Vicki a 90s child.

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.
OMG MY OTHER FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Captain Planet.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the red* Ranger were meant to be together.

To the last sentence you said.....hey...Tommy was the green* ranger!!!!

When playing power rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being tommy.

47. FAVORITE SOUNDS? danny singing "Remember when we scratched our names into the sand and told me you loved me. And now that I find that you've changed your mind, I'm lost for words. Everything I feel for you I wrote down on one piece of paper. The one in your hand, you won't understand, how much it hurts to let you go."

Or Danny saying "kishes".
Or just Danny speaking.
Or just a northern English accent, preferably Danny's.

I'm in that funky, moody, pensive midnight mood of mine, especially since there's no one on. *GLARE YOGIN GLARE*

I would like to take a moment and thank the following people:
Vicki
Robin
Yogin
Elsa

Because I love them.

Tuesday, June 20, 2006

Ah, don't we all love forums.

It's like a HUGE sorority of girls all obsessed with the same thing.
Or four things, people.

Yeah and we never fight over them either. It's amazing. We share all our resources, videos, pictures, music, thoughts, quotes, information, etc.

Damn those who live in England.

So good stuff I've garnered.


I like the middle pic and the pic on the right.

ROBIN!!! LOOK WHO IT IS!!!! It's your HUSBAND AS A BABY!


Aww it's your husband and my lover! (Just because marriage freaks me out)



My guy's better looking, definitely.
And just better, overall.
Aww, here he is!


Possibly my favorite picture of Danny ever. From the "All About You" music video.


Alright brace yourselves. This is just FREAKY. I didn't even recognize him when I saw this... DANNY IN HIS NATURAL HAIR COLOR--BLONDE.


Yeah.. I had to stare for like two minutes before it registered.
There is a reason why he dyed it brown.

Aww him and Tom look so young there. Both blonde. *shudder* *more shudders*

No but I love him regardless of hair color.

[edit: o god i'm pulling an andy]
Just because I'm a big loser with nothing to do with my life at midnight, I've been staring at my blog, and it just struck me how much him and Tom just look like regular kids in that picture. Wow early days. Before all the glamour, all the awards, all the money, all the expensive clothing, all the supermodel girlfriends, they look like any other boys with guitars in an English town. Really dorky boys really. You wouldn't take a second look at either of them if you saw them walking down the street. Well, maybe a second look at Danny, but nothing really special. And now look at them. Hottest band in the UK. Dating Lindsay Lohan. Voted most fanciable male and most snoggable male in the UK. Every girl on the island would sleep with any of them. But like four years ago, they were just a bunch of English kids playing guitar and singing for fun. They looked like just a bunch of English kids on a street, playing guitar or playing football, procrastinating on worrying about their A-levels or GCSEs. Just a couple lads.
I'm having thoughts here. BAD.
