I look like a nerdy hillbilly.
I REALLY REALLY LIKE SUMMER. I mean, it doesn't necessarily feel like summer, because it's been in the fifties/raining all week, but I really love the whole I-don't-have-school-to-worry-about thing. AND I haven't worked since Tuesday, it's like, three straight days off, what, is it my BIRTHDAY? (haha, it is actually my half-birthday today? And the black guy at work who has the same last name I do and always calls me "Sis" has his actual birthday today. It's very weird). HERE IS A RUNDOWN OF AWESOME THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED:
1. Today I went for a walk. Just a walk. It was sooo nice, and I really probably should have actually walked to, say, the park or something, but instead I just walked down the street, and the sun was shining and I was listening to Lines, Vines, and Trying Times and it was WARM for once and it gave me the same feeling I sometimes get when I drive. How nice that I'm really starting to appreciate the city the last summer before I move (!!! Oh, god, I'm giving myself a heart attack or something if I think about this now).
2. Two out of the three main rooms of my apartment are CLEAN. I'm really very excited. My books and DVDs are in alphabetical order, in an actual bookcase, most of my dishes are clean, and I'm doing a massive amount of laundry (this is how long it's been since I've had all of my clothes clean: there are long-sleeved shirts and things in there that I haven't worn since AT LEAST April). Now I just need to clean my room, and maybe wipe down the bathroom, and my apartment will be cleaner than it's been since before I moved in. IT'S A NICE FEELING.
3. I saw The Hangover yesterday. It was probably the funniest movie I have ever seen EVER. Oh my God, I just KEPT LAUGHING. MY STOMACH HURT AFTER THE MOVIE WAS OVER. How awesome is that, for serious? But, oh my god, soooo dirty (which, I was expecting, but still, there was a LOT of dirty). I might see it again, I don't know (Away We Go started today! I am for sure going to see that Sunday after work).
4. ALSO YESTERDAY: I got my Jonas Brothers tickets. I have, in hand, PROOF that less than a month from now, I will be standing in the nosebleed section of the nosebleed section, dancing my ass off, and yelling "bitch!" when they expect me to. (oh my god, how great is "Poison Ivy" going to be live? I might really like all the angry songs, because they have kick-ass beats)
5. And so the new Jonas album obviously leaked, and it's mostly angry, and I really enjoy it (confession time: I have to be in just the right mood to listen to the ballads. I like my music bouncy and singable and the angry songs are kick-ass for that. Although I have listened to "Before the Storm" an awful lot). I do feel like we're maybe missing the lead singer a little. Or maybe that's just me. I feel like everyone on Joe Island is just sitting there going, "Really? He only gets to sing the choruses? What's up with that, little brother?" But then you can TOTALLY hear Kevin on "What Did I Do To Your Heart," a song I greatly enjoy, if only because of the fiddle and the claps and seriously, WHEN DID I START LIKING COUNTRY?
6. OH, AND HEY, MILEY CYRUS AND NICK JONAS ARE BACK TOGETHER. And they're making out on Jetskis and delightful things like that. AND Demetria and Joseph are in Madrid together (...with the rest of the band, BUT I CAN OVERLOOK THAT) and, I don't know, Danielle was at the live show in New York last night? Anyway, all of this Nick/Miley stuff has sort of made me want to write my Joe/Demi fic, which can now have little Miley tidbits sprinkled in. BUT I am a little sad that the fic I've all but abandoned, about Nick needing a day off wherein he wanders around Chicago during the tour this summer, will probably not be written (at least not without major revision) because the KID IS HAPPY. Have you seen him smiling lately? Especially when he sang "My ex is still my ex" on Letterman. OH THESE KIDS.
7. Hahaha, so, I bought The Sims 3 last week or whenever it came out, and I do this thing where I, of course, make my current fandom obsessions into Sims, and so I did the Jonas brothers, although I made them the Lucas brothers, just in case anyone decided to watch me play or something? I don't know. Anyway, so I made the Lucas brothers (Nick is a virtuoso and a workaholic and a perfectionist and likes the outdoors; Joe is childish and excitable and clumsy; and Kevin is good and friendly and his dream is to have five kids). Then, as their counterparts, I made Miley Stewart, Stella (whose last name I decided would be Edwards, because I forgot to look it up before I started playing) and Sonny Munroe. I was going to put Joe and Stella together, BUT THEN Joe and Sonny started the same job, and they started working together, and then they moved in together, and then I left Kevin and Stella alone and they got married and he knocked her up without me doing anything. I don't know why I'm talking about this, because it's totally embarassing, but whatever. Apparently I ship Joe/Demi no matter what they're doing. Annnnd I might really, really want some Miley Stewart/Nick Lucas fic. They can meet when she's Hannah Montana but he doesn't like her, but then he runs into her later as Miley Stewart (because they're playing a charity concert together and they're staying at the same hotel, obviously) and they hit it off, and he smiles and his brothers make fun of him for falling in love again, but Stella says he should go for it (because Stella's their stylist and there with them. Also, she and Joe keep sneaking off to make out, but it's not a big deal) and there's some confusion where Miley's supposed to meet Nick but then Hannah shows up and I'm not sure where I'm going with this but I like it.
Alright, on that note, I have to go get some clothes. Peace out!
