Headstrong
Alvy:
Some time ago, I had posted about Ashley Tisdale, and the name of the post is “Big Talent, Small Stage.”
So, I’m here to write where she is now in her career. I have to say, she worked hard in her new album, Headstrong, and I’m telling you, it paid off, it’s one of the best albums I have ever heard, and I’m telling you, I have 946 songs in my iPod.
Ashley Tisdale really did cut the strings that tied her to “High School Musical” and now her songs are much more mature and her voice is amazing, she finally shows what her voice is actually capable of, and the best of all, she is no longer such a “Disney Girl” (And what I mean by “Disney Girls” is the kind of girl that makes people think that she’s all innocent and perfect, and bla bla bla, like Hilary Duff WAS, Like Lindsay Lohan WAS). I know that I always say this, but anyway, I would recommend that the next time you go to the mall, you buy this album, I’m sure you’ll all like it (Actually, I’m not, but only if you have terrible taste for music).
I couldn’t be “prouder” for her, Oh, and if you want a sample of what she’s capable of, watch her new music video “Be Good To Me” in YouTube!
Stupid CBS
Can you believe that they might cancel How I Met Your Mother? (Maybe you can because you might not have watched it, but anyway) It’s such a great show! I mean, everyone loves it, it has great ratings, awesome reviews…some people are even comparing it to Friends! I mean, Friends! It was the best show ever! How I Met Your Mother might be a weird name that isn’t really catchy (It’s more sort of…stupid) but when you watch it once it totally makes sense. And it’s so addictive, I mean CBS should so NOT cancel it, anyone that watches like one episode will want to watch the next one, which means more viewers, good press, probably more money, and all that stuff. They only want to cancel because, like, this one guy in CBS thinks it isn’t funny and he doesn’t like it. One guy, and it’s like on every forum and fansite, so I’m assuming it’s a pretty important guy. I hope the show doesn’t get cancelled. It’s so good.
The nice thing is that I keep seeing all these links to petitions and things titled ”save HIMYM” and stuff, so maybe CBS will see how many fans the show has and realize they’re really stupid for even considering this.
And also, today is Alyson Hannigan’s birthday. She’s 33. Happy Birthday!
Britney Spears
Alvy:
I can’t help to feel sorry for Britney Spears. She had the perfect career, although I can’t say she had the perfect life, since her husband is so not a role-model, and can you believe that he made her pay 6 million dollars for him not to produce a tape that they recorded in their “intimacy?” I don’t think there is any word to describe him, other than bastard.
But that was only the beginning, Britney Spears got addicted to drugs, and shaved her head, in order to get a new look. She was put into one of thoes places that you stay whenever you’re addicted to something. in that place she attempted suicide, but it wasn’t sucessful. And I don’t know when, but she attempted to suicide one more time, and tried to murder 2 paparazzi with an umbrella. I can’t imagine the pain she is going through, she gave birth to two babies, and she’s not exactly the best mother. I heard that once, she escaped from the place she was in to recover from her drugs addiction, and got her yougest baby, I don’t know from where, but she did, and she got a motel, sat on the floor, and started to rock her baby.
Britney Spears is one of my favorite singers, and I keep on thinking that she will recover and pass from this fase on her life, but I started to think that it will never happen. I’ve been informed that once, she was running up and down the halls of “the place she recovers from her drug addiction” and shouting out that she was the anti-christ.
I just hope she recovers, not only from her addiction, but that she also recovers her career, and that she becomes the old Britney again!
Music
Sofy:
Coffee House is tonight. It’s too bad, because I won’t be able to go. My mom is out somewhere with my grandmother and I don’t know when she’ll be back, and hell cell phone isn’t working. My dad said that if I had told him before he would take me, but today he has too much work.
I really wanted to go because Cary and Vanessa are gonna act out a Romeo and Juliet scene and I really wanted to see that, and also Alvy said that Alice is going.
Also, today I found out that one of my friends from school is leaving to go to some other country. I can’t say who, because it isn’t final yet and the person doesn’t want me to tell anyone.
Yesterday I got a B- on my History quiz. (This is supposed to be good news, ok?) After that time when I got an F I didn’t get any more major bad grades, and once I ever got an A+. Yesterday night I also watched Josie and the Pussycats and Ice Princess, and now I’m addicted to this song called Backdoor Lover, by this ”fake” band called Dujour (only made for the Josie and the Pussycats movie) and this other song called If I Had It My Way, by Emma Roberts, which played in Ice Princess. Both very good songs.
On the topic of music, today after school (it was a half-day) my mom and Danny and I went to this music store place to find out if they have drums lessons and they do. I’ve wanted to learn to play the drums for a long time, and Cary thought that Alexandre (the guitar teacher at school) taught it, but it turns out he didn’t really, he knows the basics and stuff. That’s what he told me. So I sort of forgot about it, but yesterday when I was watching Josie and the Pussycats I really wanted to try again.
Well, I’m really excited. I hope I start really soon.
Why I Haven’t Written in Awhile and About Amber Benson
Sofy:
There are two reasons I haven’t been writing. First of all, Alvy isn’t writing anymore, like, ever, and I’m also pretty sure he doesn’t even read it when I write, so I sort of feel that there’s no point in writing if I know that no one is reading. But then I thought that I’m not really writing for other people, I write for myself, because this blog is where I can say anything I want and all, and if I say something stupid I can always take it back, or edit and stuff.
The other reason is because my internet hasn’t been working. It was SO annoying. I had to use my little brother’s computer to do homework and stuff, and I couldn’t download the Monday episode of How I Met Your Mother or check my hotmail or anything. And we’ve been getting like a ton of spam comments and stuff, but WordPress doesn’t consider it spam, for some reason. I swear this thing is crazy, I mean, it puts normal comments into the spam thingy and the comments that are actually spam, that say all these gross things about ewy porn stuff, goes to our comments page. But anyway, so we’ve been getting a ton of spam and when the internet isn’t working, I’m always paranoid because we have this ’recent comments’ widget and I don’t like the thought of people seeing things about rape and incest (whatever the heck incest is, I just know that it was there a lot) in our recent comments. But whatever. Now the internet is back and I’m happy.
Also, something else happened today. So I was on imdb.com (I love this site. It’s so the best. It has everything) and I was looking at Amber Benson’s profile. Amber Benson is this actress on Buffy, she played Tara, who’s Willow’s girlfriend, and she dies in the fifth season because this stupid jerk asshole nerd wannabe-villain dude (I HATE him) shoots her. So, I was looking at her Trivia page and it said that Joss Whedon (the director) had planned on bringing her back on the seventh season (the last one). It said that on the last episode, Buffy was going to have one wish (This didn’t really happen in the episode), and she could wish for anything, and she was going to think about what she was going to ask for throughout the entire episode, and in the end, the last scene, they would ask her what she wished for and she would step aside and Tara would be behind her. I am SO pissed that this didn’t happen. I was almost crying, because Tara was the best and Willow was so upset and she turned all evil and veiny and black-haired when Tara died (at least she flayed the stupid jerk asshole nerd wannabe-villain dude alive). I wanted to hit something, I was so angry. I hate Joss Whedon, if this was his fault.
But I also discovered that Amber Benson is also one of my favorite actresses. She’s so interesting. I like Alyson Hannigan and Emma Caulfield (also from Buffy and from this movie called Darkness Falls that anyone should watch it’s so cool), but I like Amber Benson in a more admiring-y way. Like a when-I-grow-up-I-want-to-be-like-her way. Because, like, I’m pretty sure I suck and acting. I have stage fright. But I like it. I mean, I was in Drama. I’m just not anymore because I got traumatized because I had to dress up as a horse (I mean, come on. The one year I decide to do drama, the play is about this frikkin rabbit with all these other animals and stuff) Besides, I’m not even sure there is Drama this year. Anyway, I like acting. And if I ever decide to practice, I’ll get over the nervousness thing. But also, she’s a writer, and I’m gonna be a writer. I think she’s written a couple of books and she co-wrote the Buffy 8th Season Comic Book and she’s written and directed and produced these bunch of movies (I’ve never really heard about any of them, but they were in the Sundance Film Festival, so I’m guessing they were okay) and stuff. She also really likes singing (and she has this awesome voice). It’s like, both things I love the most combined. Music and writing. The only problem is that she also likes dancing and dancing is the worst. But, you know, I won’t be exactly like her. I’m just saying that I like that she works in a bunch of different fields. She’s a writer, a singer and an actress. That’s pretty cool.
Just an Update
I just noticed that none of us have posted in a while so I’ll just say what has been happening.
Cary and Alvy are back to being friends. It ended like any other of our fights, except that this one lasted a bit longer. The day after they fought, they were talking in the morning like nothing had ever happened.
I had a fight with Alvy and Cary because I was upset that they were teasing me in English class. (And then I had to ask to go to the bathroom because I thought I was gonna cry) But it only lasted till the end of the day and we were back to being friends, and they promised not to tease me again (well, Alvy did. Cary just said had been mad at me because I ignored them when they tried to apologize. I think I’m still a bit angry at her. She never takes me seriously)(I hope she’s reading this so she can see how upset she made me and feel guilty about it. But I know that she’s not.)
Alvy and I are doing this really cool project for art class. We have to build these paper maché hands and put a symbol that means a lot to us on our palms, and we’re each doing a half of the ying yang symbol, to match. We wanted Cary to do something with us but she’s doing something else.
I have a Geography project due tomorrow that I have only done half of and don’t plan to finish the other half, because it’s Gio’s part and if she doesn’t have it it’s not my fault.
If I get the thingy that makes your hair straight, I think I’m gonna cut it short. (Not boy-short. Maybe…chin-short or half-of-the-neck-short) I don’t like my current length. It’s old and boring. (But ONLY if I can straighten it. Because my normal hair short would look awful)
Also, I’m pretty sure Alvy and Cary aren’t gonna write anymore. Which is so sad. I don’t want to just keep writing all alone. That’s so depressing and lonely and sad…
And The Week Just Started…
Alvy:
As the title of this post suggests, the week just started, and 5 things already happened, I think week is the week that everything happens to compensate all the time that nothing interesting was going on, and that’s not always a good thing.
1st: Last week, Sofy, Cary and I got a detention (In which surprised me, because we’re perfect!) and only because we got late for 3 classes, I mean, what kind of a stupid rule is that? accidents and lack of incentive happens, it’s not like I can’t miss classes for anything in this world, and I live trying to get in time for classes (Well, only english class). And today we had to pay for that detention, and we stayed in a quiet room, making our english project, and that actually helped, because we are very ahead now! so, that feeling of satisfaction compensated for all of my preveous events this week.
2nd: Yesterday, I had to do this project in which I had to work on a poster, so I went to the store and bought one, and as I was exiting, I saw this boy, about our age, and he had down syndrome, so to be polite, I said “hi” to him, and he said “hi” back, and in my way to the car, I saw with the corner to my eye that his father was staring at me, and I started to think: “Did he think I said “hi” in a “predujicy” sort of way, and that I wanted to mock him?” and all of that gilt cover me, and I hate that feeling, trust me, with me it’s 10x worse.
3rd: Today, we had to present our science fair presentations, and after Carol and I had done our best explaining for the class what was systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and talking about our experiment, the teacher only gave us bad comments, and everything that she said had reached a conclusion that we were stupid and we knew nothing about our project. Thanks to her, we had to start our project on the last minute, because first, we would measure the effect of terror movies on creativity, then she came with the idea of measuring the adrenaline in urine, and she was going to send an e-mail to some lab and talk about our project, 1 year/2 semesters later, nothing, so we had to make up our own idea (hmph) and now, she critisizes us, and it’s all her fault.
4th: Today, Sofy and I were grabbing our plates at the cantina, and there was this teacher in front of us at the line, she grabbed her plate, and put lots of salads with sauces and wet things, then, out of nowhere, she got all of the salad on her plate and put it back, eeww, what kind of person does that, but the worst part is that she put the used dish back in the clean dish pile, and Sofy showed it to me, so I said: “Ms. Coggio! look at this plate!” and the teacher said “Aw, c’mon,” no, YOU “c’mon!” nobody does that gross act! I’ve never seen anyone do such a thing! it’s just plain rude.
5th: OMG! I got addicted to JPop! (In which by the way is Japanese Pop) but not JPop in general, I do have a favorite JPop singer, in which is Utada Hikaru, and her songs are so soothing and I always get a chill when I hear them, they’re great! if any of you want to try something new, you should listen to one of her songs! I’m sure you’re all going to like them!
The End of Buffy
I just watched the last episode of Buffy. It was so sad. Anya died because she saved that stupid Andrew dude who is a nerd and killed his best friend and is totally NOT worth saving. And then Andrew told Xander, who loved Anya but still was a jerk and left her at the altar and Xander was like “Yeah, that’s my girl. Always doing the stupid thing.” It was so depressing I was like, crying at the end. And the last line was Dawn saying “What are we gonna do now?” How could a show end like that? I swear I hate whatever writer did that. Whoever it is, is just cruel.
It was so sad. I mean, Anya died. And Spike did too, but at least he saved the world. And Willow ended up with this stupid, rude, retarded girl called Kennedy. I wish Tara hadn’t died. And Andrew LIVED. And Xander got blind. Of just ONE eye! (I hate Xander. He left Anya. I like Anya. He should’ve gotten completely blind) It’s so sad that there aren’t any more episodes. Maybe I’ll start reading fanfic. But then it just wouldn’t be the same, and characters are just so not-themselves in fanfic…
The only nice thing was when I watched the outtakes. It was so funny. But then I remembered that there won’t be any more and I got sad again. These great shows like Friends, Buffy, Sex and the City…they should just never end. Ever. (I don’t say CSI cuz it didn’t end yet. Besides, I’m not that into it anymore)
But I still have two full discs of the second season to watch. I just don’t want to watch, because when I finish, then it’ll really be over.
Also, I don’t think anyone will really get this post because no one knows who Dawn or Andrew or Tara or anyone is.
