Since I'm already screwed, here's a message to you...
Screwed by Paris Hilton is such a cool song. The middle eight rules. 'When yaw meet samwan jast ta have a alittle fun!' Her voice isn't all that but it's still a very fun song and she rocks my boxers.
Haven't updated in a while cos there has been nothing to talk about. Just school, school, school, and who wants to hear about that? I've finally decided on Marketing for uni, and whittled down my choices for universities. I'm glad with everything but now im panicking about applications and whatnot so I'm gonna have a talk with our amazing councellor on Saturday.
Yesterday was Livia's party in this little club in the Meridian called Chi Chi's. The thing started at 6 but we didn't show up until around 7.40, cos me and George went to buy her presents first, then went to pick up Farah, and so, yeah. The party was SO. MUCH. FUN. Everyone danced all night like there was no tommorow. The DJ only seemed to have about 5 songs that he'd repeat over and over again (Yeah, Dip It Low, Lean Back, Move Your Body) but it was all good because by the end of it we would just laugh everytime one of those songs came on after a new one, and continue dancing like it wasn't played 50 times before. Me and Diana got our obligatory mexican dancing. That girl is so awesome even though she's misunderstood, and her short temper just adds to her overall cuteness. When it was time for the cake and whatnot, it was so cute cos Livia and her aunt did this Portugese dance (she's Portogese) and everyone was clapping along and AAAAHHH! hahaha. After the party finished at around 11, me, George, Alan, Kanaan, and this girl called Lindsay (who George would not leave alone when he found out she was British "OH MY GAWD YOU'RE BRITISH?!?! TALK TALK TALK!") hung out at the mall. Then me and Alan and George came up with the genius idea of watching a movie. At midnight. We watched White Chicks, which is a HILARIOUS movie that I wasn't expecting to be so funny. I slept at the end, though. After trying to find a cab and walking all around Abu Dhabi, I got home at 3 AM and slept like a rawk. Woke up this morning with blisters all over my feet and my body was aching from all the dancing but it was worth it.
Did nothing today but mope around in my Pyjamas attemtping to finsih reading the Illiad. What a fucked up story. I've finished about 2/3 of it but I just couldn't go on. Will read the rest before bed and do the essay tommorow.
It's been a while since I've done one of these... Ladies and gentlemen... Behold... The Rock My Socks List™©
- Paris Hilton
- Lindsay Lohan - Rumors. Video. Hot Much?
- Whatcha Waiting For? - Loving this song so much. And the Alice In Wonderland-esque video rules, and the fact that she had the guts to make it 7+ minutes long is so cool. As famous and glamorous as she might be, even Gwen Stefani has insecurities - and she's apparently airing her nervousness about her forthcoming solo album in the lyrics to the album's first single, "What You Waiting For?"
The lyrics to the song - formerly the title track for her forthcoming debut, Love, Angel, Music, Baby - captures the singer's conflicted feelings in the form of an inner dialogue with herself, with the more confident Gwen (who sings in a tough, strident tone) giving the nervous one (squeakier and higher) some tough love: "Take a chance, you might grow ... Take a chance, you stupid ho."
Stefani's nervousness about the album has been well documented.
The song - co-written with Linda Perry and produced by Nellee Hooper - starts with a sweet, slow piano melody and lyrics that seem to pay tribute to her bandmates in No Doubt ("What an amazing time/ What a family/ How did the years go by?/ Now it's only me"). It then shifts abruptly to a driving beat with layered background voices, as Stefani suggests deadline pressures by singing, "Tick-tock, tick-tock." The nervous Stefani sings in the first person, while the confident one responds in the second person: "Naturally, I'm worried if I go it alone," while the other responds, "You never know, it could be great."
The chorus acts as the kick in the pants that the fretting Stefani needs: "Look at your watch now/ You're still a super-hot female/ You got your million-dollar contract/ And they're all waiting for your hot track." Finally, she starts to sound convinced, and even enthusiastic about what's in store: "I can't wait to go back into Japan." As the song winds down, the two voices merge.
- Our ethics teacher
- Ramadan - All the yummy sweets, the shortened school timings, being invited for iftar, the week holiday at the end of it. A+ in my book!
- Kanye West - The New Workout Plan is such a hot song. And the video is pure comedy, especially the part with Anna Nicole Smith. "MA NAME IS ALAMAY FROM MOBILE, ALABAMA. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT SINCE LISTENING TO KANYE'S WORKOUT TAPE, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO DATE OUTSIDE THE FAMILY, I GOT A DOUBLE WIDE, AND I RODE A PLANE, RODE A PLANE, RODE A PLANE!
- Hit The Freeway - (relative) Oldie but Goldie. Where is Toni Braxton nowadays?
- My aunt - The point above reminds me of her. I always listened to that song on her computer. Ah. She's coming in a few weeks and I'm so excited. My grandma is also coming with her. I feel like Christmas has come early this year. I love my aunt SO SO much it's not funny. And I miss her so so much. awwwwww.
And that concludes the list this week.
