Corrupting the Innocent

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:54:05 GMT

Okay, so... Will someone please tell me what's so great about Taylor Swift? I can appreciate she's a good songwriter and that she seems to be a really sweet girl, but how is that different from Demi? Or any other really talented and humble singer/songwriter in the business? Is it because she's so young? Because she's - for some reason - really successful in the country genre? There are so incredibly many other fantastic artists out there who doesn't garner half the praise that Taylor Swift is getting while they actually deserve it! I honestly don't understand how she is dubbed "Most Interesting Person of 2009", I honest to God do not understand it. Her singing is weak and yet everyone praises her as a great singer. How does that add up?

I don't even know why I let it bother me so much. I was over the "phenomenon" that is Taylor Swift roughly a month into it. Now it's just irksome she gets so much attention when there are plenty of other artists who deserves it more. Gr.

I'm done, I swear. I just don't get it, never have.

*swoon*

And that's not ALL the kisses. And that's completely disregarding the EYE-SEXING and the HUGGING. Dude. I swear, for a Disney produced show, it's super sexy.

Apparently I've disappeared. lol

We celebrated my Dad today - he turns 51 in three days - and the whole family was here. The first thing two of my aunts and my granddad's wife says is "You've disappeared!". And grandpa even called me "little". Makes me feel ridiculously good. Cause they all seemed so proud of me for losing weight. And the dress I'm wearing was "super lovely" and my grandmom even wanted to borrow it. lol Now if that's not an ego boost I don't know what is. Gah, so wonderful to hear them say I look great - and to hear the phrase "You look so slim" means so much to me. Wonderful, wonderful day today.

And not to mention, I'm gonna babysit one of my younger cousins the 21st and he was all shy and sweet when he found out. Like, "she really wants to play with me?". Precious child. And he's like this huge pain in the butt when he's around other kids and stuff, he's such a handful, but just that one bashful moment made him so sweet. He's great when he's alone so it should be great. Plus, I'll be compensated for it. Double woo.

So now I'm pissed off.

Had a perfectly awesome dance practice. It was fun, we were focused and I thought I did pretty well overall. Not perfect but who does a perfect class? Then comes the kicker.

I asked E about my fourth position (in ballet) cause I've never felt comfortable in it, it's never felt right. So I ask if I'm doing something wrong since it feels wrong. He answers "If I'd seen something wrong I'd've told you" but I insisted on him showing me the correct position anyway since I still wasn't convinced I was doing it right. So when I break it down into parts it turns out I'm doing practically everything wrong. My feet are too far apart, my butt isn't tucked under and I don't go up straight in relevé. Basically everything that can be wrong is wrong. And E said he hadn't seen me do anything wrong. It pisses me off. Made my night crap. It makes you wonder if he ever looks at what I'm doing since I'm not doing it right but he hasn't seen me do anything wrong. Asshat.

I should go over everything I do in detail with him just to see if I'm doing anything else completely wrong that I think I'm doing right because he hasn't said anything.

Anyway. I was on an Internet break for like a couple weeks. I got off it like yesterday cause I realised I needed Facebook to keep in touch with some people I met recently. I'm not doing back to the obsessive way of before, but I'll probably update with rants. Like this. Cause I had nowhere else to put it without E seeing it or it being so completely random.

I'll try to check my flist sometime every once in a while, but be prepared I might be bad at it. Twitter will still be the best way to keep in touch with me, apart from Facebook and/or emails. Or texting if you have my number.

Coolest music video I've seen in a looong time. It totally establishes Allison a an artist. Kick-ass girl + kick-ass voice + kick-ass song + kick-ass video = major hit.

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:37:20 GMT

I gotta say, I'm respecting Kristen Stewart more and more. I saw the trailer for The Yellow Handkerchief and she completely won me over. I don't know, I'm not sure I agree with the decision to cast her as Bella still - she's grown on me as Bella for sure, but I'm not sure I agree with it. But as an actress I've begun to respect her more and more. She's a smart cookie, choosing her roles carefully.

Secondly, I really do not appreciate the double-standard of the Disney girls. Like Demi and Miley (but Demi more) get so much crap over behaving like normal teenage girls when Selena doesn't show any part of herself that's less than perfect and thus is being raised to the skies. Demi and Miley both own up to their mistakes and show girls that's it's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to not be perfect, yet they get trashed for what they do. Very few people focus on the good things they do, on what good role models they are. Meanwhile, Selena I'm sure makes as many mistakes as Demi and Miley only she doesn't let anyone see it - how is that being a good role model? How is showing off a picture-perfect surface being a good person to look up to? It only creates this image of having to be perfect to be successful. Demi gets crap for having scene friends, Selena has scene friends too who are probably equally as bad as Demi's friends, but does anyone say anything bad about Selena? No. Urg. It makes me pissed off. At least people have begun to accept Miley as a teenaged girl, they know she'll make mistake and they accept that.

So... I'm starting to get a little restless. No work for a month or so and my boss has only called at the most annoying times ever. Always when I don't want/can't pick up or can't work. It's so stupid. I've printed out some resumes so I'm gonna hit the town tomorrow or Friday and hand some in. Hopefully it'll lead to some results, cause I just cannot work for that place anymore. I can't. I hate not knowing when I work, it's impossible to plan my life.

I should also look into college soon. Like before this year's over. I think the applications are due sometime in March, but if I wanna get into any form of dance education, I need an audition piece which I would have to choreograph.

And, I'm starting to think it's time for me to get my driver's license. I'm getting more and more willing to do it, I feel like it's a good thing to have even though I doubt I'll be driving much in the near future... I have a feeling I'm not the driving kind. I have no problems sitting in a car, driving long distances to go places, but I think actually being behind the wheel of a car, being responsible for the lives in the car as well as the car itself... Not really my thing. But I guess I don't know until I actually get my ass in gear and try it out. It's just shit expensive - and getting more expensive by the year. Sucks, I tell you.

Jo, bless her heart, has been so busy with her work and dance classes and school and getting ready for her two-month trip to Asia, she hasn't finalized my little schedule yet. I'm kinda bummed, but I totally understand her. Like, I'm super stoked about actually having a training schedule and a diet plan and everything, coupled with someone to report to so I don't shirk on my "assignments"... It's exactly what I need to get myself in even better shape. I've started slowly on my own, but I'm just waiting for Jo's official schedule - no sense in getting a routine down if you're gonna change it in week, you know? But, good news is that I've actually started to see some results already from what I've done so far. My stomach is not as round anymore and I don't eat quite as much, I'm less hungry. Which is good, cause I don't snack as much. And I'm getting better at eating regularly. The scale freaks me out cause it's pretty much always been my enemy, but I've weighed myself twice now and I think I've lost a little weight. Not much, but like maybe half a pound? I see that as major progress since I haven't actually been actively trying that hard. But as far as my measurements goes, that I've checked. And what I see is making me happy. Nearly 2 inches off my stomach - not the waist (although it's like an inch there too), not the hips, but inbetween there. The widest part of my body, I'm sad to say. :P But my stomach's flatter. Which I'm really stoked about.

Yeah, so anyway...

Aside from my workout schedule Jo's bringing me soon and my dance, I don't really do much these days. There's a lot of sitting around, watching TV, movies and trying to write or make graphics. Not too much luck in either of the creative areas... But, I am trying.

I would talk more about the fandoms, but I forget what I want to say like ten seconds after I think it. :P

So yeah, I'm off to go to a "concert" of sorts. With Dad. Featuring some old coworkers of Dad's. Should be fun, they're great musicians. So I should get dressed and head out.

Ta-ta.

Looks like I'm better at updating my twitter than I am at updating here. So heading over to misshanbb is the safest bet to find out what's happening in my life atm, I'm afraid. Will still post here occasionally and I regularly - pretty much every day - check my flist and stuff, so I ain't disappearing from LJ. lol

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:35:06 GMT

I had some computer issues a couple days back - like I got a Trojan horse in and everything. So I couldn't get online for like three days. I didn't like die or anything, but it bummed me out.

Buuut I got to read like three books, so I was kinda okay with that. lol Over the weekend Jess was here - and then the three days after she left - I managed to read five books. FIVE! In a WEEK! lol Let's just say I haven't read that much since I was like fifteen and completely into all my fantasy series. Heeh.

Something I thought was really cool was that I saw Miley's "Party In the USA" video on a Swedish music channel the other day. Which was really cool, I haven't seen anything from any DC star on Swedish TV so it was neat. And then on this Swedish music competition program Demi and Selena's "One and the Same" was playing in the background. Major squeeage. lol I don't know, I just thought it was super cool. Not to mention the JB song a store played in their PA when Jess was here in Stockholm! Grated, it was like "Poor Unfortunate Souls" or something around that era, but it was JB! Woo.

Sunday/Monday/Tuesday this week I barely thought of anything but the Clumsy Cuddlers' 200th thread on fanforum. I dibs'ed on doing the opening post(s), and when my computer decided not to play in the days leading up to the 200th, I was freaking out a little. But I did all the graphics, coding, layouting, text and everything in three days and I was sooo touched when all the girls were gushing over it (even when I was like fifteen minutes behind schedule in opening the 200th thread - stupid coding! lol). My precious girls! It turned out both better and worse than I expected... Crazy thing is I totally dibs'ed doing the 300th too - which we were discussing even before we'd gone through the 200th thread! lol Crazy girls. I love them so much.

Anyway...

Yesterday we had another one of those "evaluation talks" (*snort*) with my dance group. It went really great, I was kind of afraid they (my teachers, that is) would say some not-so-good things since I probably haven't gotten back to the same level of dancing as before I injured my knee, but they were really great. They were super supportive. They were like "You got so many great qualities about you, you have such a strong foundation for being a dancer. You don't have to worry about technique or choreography as much as some of the girls, it never looks wrong when you dance. You always know what to do, we see that you know what you should do, even if you can't do it. You're always present, mentally and physically, and you always try. You work hard and you try". So that was really sweet of them.

They basically had only one bad thing to say, and that wasn't even a bad thing, it was more like a thing they said would improve me - personally and in my dancing. Of course, it's my weight, but I knew that already. Neither of my teachers aren't these stick-thin men, they're a little above average sized men - perhaps not in height, but in weight - so they know what I mean when I say that I struggle with my weight and all. But they were like "This would be for yourself, because it's just that little that's missing, and being a few pounds lighter would bring you so much closer to nailing jumps" and I agree with them, it would. So I told them about my little goals I set for myself and they were really supportive of that as well.

But I think my biggest supporters for that were my dance girls. They are just so amazing. I told them about my goals and that I wanted to lose weight and that I wanted some support from them - like if they saw a change in me, they'd comment on it - and they just went above and beyond that. They were so supportive and like "Of course we'll be your support system, absolutely". And one of the girls, Jo, she was so pumped about it she even said she'd be my personal trainer. Like, she wants to be in that field so she was like "I'll put up a plan for you, for exercising and meals and stuff". She's so awesome. So now I have this great, big THING where I'll report weekly to her about what I did and if I didn't do my daily excersize she's scheduling me to do, I'll get a punishment and everything. She even talked me into setting up a training blog where I'll talk about it that all the girls will follow.

Maybe it's a little overkill, but I just love Jo so much that she even wanted to do this for me. Jo who works part-time, studies part-time, trains girls in gymnasics five times a week, has her own dance twice a week AND recently took on teaching a dance class every week. Bless her heart. She barely has time as is and she wants to do this for me. I love her.

Yeah...

See - I had a lot to say! lol Anyway, I need to go make some phonecalls.

I suck at updating, I know that. I do have things to say now, but as per usual, I time my boredom and subsequent wish to update LJ with when I don't have enough time to post - off to dance in twenty minutes. Not dance as in my dance, but dance as in the-thing-I-go-to-in-preparation-of-my-becoming-a-dance-teacher. Yeah, that dance. Heeh.

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:06:38 GMT

I'm somewhat stressed out even though I'm super excited. In less than ten hours, my darling Jess will be here with me. Woo! :)

But, the reason for my update: I GOT MY HAIR CUT!

And I'm really, really pleased with it. It looks gorgeous if I may say so myself. I even have pictures. Before- and after-shots. I was that organized. lol

Before

After

What'cha think? ;)

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:25:07 GMT

Not much going on at the moment. I'm still super hyped about Jess coming to visit on Wednesday. Btw, honey: we need to discuss some deets, kay? Remind me.

Dad and I (and Mom) fixed our old car this weekend. It broke down like last year, then it ran for a while but the last time it wouldn't start was six months ago. Yesterday was the first time we had the energy and time to look it over. So we changed the air filter and the tires and some other stuff. Apparently I looked like I knew what I was doing when we were digging around in the engine, according to a neighbour. Which is positive, I guess. lol I totally didn't, but that's beside the point. I know I looked the part, though; sensible jeans, fleece shirt, tick vest, cap, hair in a ponytail, and gloves in my back pocket (they were mostly getting in the way) - and consequently had greese on my hands.

I know I tweeted about this, but I can't really stop thinking about it; it's always Dad and I doing the technical things. Like, working on the car - changing the tires and stuff like that, it's always me and Dad. My sister never does that - unless we're all doing it as a family, of course. And Dad's always taking me to football games, making me listen to his kind of music, teaching me about computers. I mean, it's not really surprising, I've always been more of a tomboy than my sister, but like even now when we're in our twenties - or will be soon - Dad still does that with me. I like it, don't get me wrong, but I've just always felt like I'm substituting for the son Dad never had...

Yeah, so anyway...

I think I'm reaching one of my goals that I set for Christmas. The one about my stomach - about toning and losing some weight. I haven't had the nerve to get on the scale yet, but I measured myself earlier in the week and there's a difference. Plus, I'm fitting into a pair of jeans I haven't worn in like a year. I don't know if I've actually lost weight or if I was bloated the last time I tried them on or whatever, but for whatever reason I didn't quite fit in them last time I tried them on, but I've worn them all weekend and they fit me again. It's making me ridiculously pleased.

Okay, so Mom's calling for me and Dad - tea time. :)
<3

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:34:11 GMT

Okay, despite the crap dance class today, this day needs to be marked in the calender for one reason and one reason only:

I GET TO HAVE JESS (yenetai) AT MY HOUSE FOR FOUR GLORIOUS DAYS!

Eep. So excited. I thought for sure Mom and Dad would say no since technically Jess and I have never met, but they were so cool about it. So woo! So Wednesday is The Day - yes, that important. Eep. Then we only need the JB concert dates for Sweden and we'd be all set for ANOTHER visit. Woo. This is working out far better than expected. :)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:14:14 GMT

I should get major props for what I did today:

I cleaned out my iTunes and re-located all the music to where it should be and then I put music back into iTunes.

We have over 200 GB music on an extern harddrive so it's gonna take some time to get all the music I want back to iTunes, but I've started with all the (read: gazillion) fanmixes and mixed-artists albums and all the artists I know I want (like JB, Demi, Miley and all those), but I still have a long way to go before I've gotten everything.

I've made a resolution, though, to not reset the play count until Christmas (I tend to reset it like every two months or when I've gotten a lot of new music), so it should be interesting to see what 25 songs are at the top by then.

The 25 Most Played Songs as of October 7th, 2009
Quiet - Demi Lovato
Got Dynamite - Demi Lovato
Catch Me - Demi Lovato
Bottom of the Ocean - Miley Cyrus
Here We Go Again - Demi Lovato
Solo - Demi Lovato
Falling Over Me - Demi Lovato
Back Around - Demi Lovato
U Got Nothin' On Me - Demi Lovato
World of Chances - Demi Lovato
Everytime You Lie - Demi Lovato
Everything You're Not - Demi Lovato
Hoedown Throwdown - Miley Cyrus
Stop The World - Demi Lovato
Remember December - Demi Lovato
Paranoid - Jonas Brothers
How Do You Love Someone - Ashley Tisdale
Crank It Up - Ashley Tisdale
Guilty Pleasure - Ashely Tisdale
Feel This (ft Enation) - Bethany Joy Galeotti
Circus - Britney Spears
Goodbye - Miley Cyrus
Acting Out - Ashley Tisdale
One Word - Elliot Yamin
Potential Breakup Song - Aly & AJ/78 Violet

No cracks about the amount of Disney kids on here, okay, I like 'em. lol

And with that said, I already know I have a couple of albums and songs I want to add to my huge library, and for my own sake they'll be put here so I won't lose it - or, you know, find some good Samaritan that wants to spare me the agony of looking for myself... Heeh.

New Music Han Wants

* "Bandslam" soundtrack
* "In the Name of the King" soundtrack
* "Narnia" soundstrack

'Night y'all! <3

You know something? I'm pretty much in love with the Jonai fandom simply for the shipping. I mean, there's the delusional fans that want themselves paired with the boys or the Toe fans (ew), Joe/Jordin fans, Joe/Belle fans (or basically fans of any ship that involves Joe and someone not Demi), the slashers (yes, I'm looking at you, yenetai!), but thing is; deep down they know their ships won't come true and they turn to Joe/Demi. Because it's the ultimate ship. Pretty much in all crossovers, AUs and "normal"-verse fics I've seen that doesn't involve Joe-slash (of any kind) has the Joe/Demi ship. It's so amazing, I love it.

Ooh, and on a positive note: I finished my icons for the icon-battle me and _kathrynnn are doing. She finished hers like Saturday, but I finally finished mine today! Woo. I'll probably post those icons soon - as I'm sure Kat will. Yay!

Unfortunately, my cold's hanging on. I mean, now I'm mostly snotty (and not in the brat-sense) (yuck), but yeah, until that disappears, I'm still considering myself not-well-yet. lol

Yeeeahh, I really don't have any interesting things to say these days. I'm being boring. Boh-ring. Yeah, shutting up now. Bye! :)

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:50:51 GMT

This isn't an actual update, I just needed to get it out there after seeing the pictures of Joe and Nick (Jonas, for those of you unfamiliar with my obsession) running for women's breast cancer awareness/charity/thingy in Toronto and the subsequent discussion within the Jonai fandom of "how did Nick keep up with Joe?" (who, might I add, likes to run).

So.

My thesis:

- Nick is the natural-born athlete who can pick up any sport or physical activity and be good at it, great if he puts effort and time into it. He would be a great sprinter, I think.

- Joe is the runner who is faster over time and more endurable than his brother.

... and that's basically all I had to say. :P Being sick means that this is as interesting as it's gonna get.

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:18:33 GMT

I'm lacking in attention at the moment. I have a bitter cold (well the cold's not bitter, I am for having it in the first place) which popped up overnight Thursday/Friday. I'm yet to be down for the count - I'm not lying in bed all day - but I feel pretty darn bad.

I've managed to watch like six films in the past three days or so, I think. It's pretty impressive. None of them has really wow-ed me, though, apart from "The Sentinel" but I've loved it since the first time I saw it.

Anywho, my list of movies I've seen this year is growing. It's 110+ now, and I'm only counting the different movies I've seen, not the actual amount of films. Like "Camp Rock" and "Twilight" I've seen multiple times this year but I'm only counting them once. :P

Like I said, I'm lacking in so I'm leaving with a quote regarding the inevitable comparison between Selena, Miley and Demi.

Becky: always the voice of reason; "IMO, even though they flit - Demi is the singer/musician, Miley the performer and Selena the actress."

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:27:17 GMT

Okay, this is pissing me off! Hotlinking is NOT COOL! I swear I have not used that much space for my photobucket account this month to have exceed the bandwidth! DUDE! I am really, really, REALLY pissed off right now. Gah. Had it been my old account I would have understood because I have a shitload of stuff on there, but this one? Hell to the no, it's new as of two months ago! Holy crap!

And here I was planning on this really nice entry about dance class today (which, btw, went really well). Fuck. I am so mad.

Not to mention I see people on YOUTUBE with ICONS of MINE that I've specifically said were PERSONAL! Fuck. This is me seriously pissed off.

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:59:04 GMT

Remember that I said there was a chance I would be teaching hip hop to 9-13 year olds? Yeah, that. It's 90% a done deal. My friend Jennifer talked to all the leaders and stuff and they gave the green light, they just wanna meet me and then Jen and I have to follow a class to see how the teachers deal with the kids and whatnot. So it should be fun. I'm exicted.

I'm feeling rather proud of myself, Mom and I did almost two hours of the Zumba Fitness on Sunday. We did the "Sculpt and Tone" and then popped in the "Live" one to check it out and ended up doing that one too. Yay us! Then I convinced Sissy to do the "Sculpt and Tone" at nine am (heeh) today.

Ooh and Mom took me and Sissy to see "The Ugly Truth" Sunday. It was a good film, not the best I've seen, but funny. Gerard Butler is priceless, he's amazing, I love him. And Kathrine Heigl is pretty darn funny. Not to mention Craig Fergusson did a cameo which made me really happy, I squealed a little, not gonna lie. ~~When~~ If I become famous I want to be interviewed by him.

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:35:50 GMT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIA (joedemi)! Yay, it's your birthday! Hope you day is filled with awesomeness. *tacklehug*

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:40:19 GMT

All it took for my Joe-love to resurface in full force was a session with my girls on the Clumsy Cuddlers thread and some reasoning from jonaslovato, penguinsrpals, moni828, othfan_628 and jillrenay. :) Thank you girls. ♥

I really need to re-organize my bookcase. It's a total mess. There's a lot of new books that need sorting and a boatload of DVD's that I should organize too - for now everything's just been put in where they fit. I'm thinking that should be my project for tomorrow or Friday.

Selena Gomez's album leaked today and since I'm not going to spend money on it (sorry, Selena, but I just don't like you enough for that when/if the album ever comes to Sweden), I downloaded it. I'm not particularly impressed. I had far more respect for her when she wasn't talking about trying to make it in the music business, she stood out when she was simply acting. From the other music projects she's done for Disney, I didn't have particularly big expectations, Selena decidedly does not have the greatest voice. And unfortunately a lot of her songs are forgettable. They've tampered with her voice on the album too, it sounds like. There's four songs of the thirteen that I like: "Falling Down", "I Promise You", "The Way I Loved You" and "As A Blonde". "More" has it's highlights, but it's pretty forgettable too. They remixed "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" from Another Cinderella Story and I'm highly disappointed. I liked the song as it was from the soundtrack, why change it? Singing it as it was from the movie would surely please the teenyboppers who go see Selena in concert more, would it? Oh well, the mystery of Selena Gomez trying to make it in the music biz will probably always allude me.

Anyway, no more discussing that.

To Do-List:
- 10 Picture-meme
- Catch up on CC-thread on Demi board
- Re-organize bookcase
- Write

Goodnight for now.

Second rant of today:

My premonition of dance going well was probably a bad thing to say. I shouldn't have said anything. Let's just put it this way: the best thing that happened at class today was the fact that I got into a full front split (like so, albeit a little more awkward) when we stretched at the end.

Guess we all had a bit of a rough day today and it all escalated until we got a bit of a lashing. And this was within the first twenty minutes, so it did not bode well for the rest of class. They mean well, our teachers, and they only want to pull out the best in us and we weren't giving them that today, but yelling/lashing out has really never worked on a group of teenage girls, has it? I doubt it.

Now that I'm home I can say I'm cooling down, both from frustration and from anger (because yes, I was little angry at our teachers). Mom came home with the news that her old job might need my help for when the vaccination of the Swine Flu comes, like checking IDs and stuff. So that might be good.

Yeah, I think I need some sleep.
<3

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:29:55 GMT

I am disliking Joe Jonas more and more. It shouldn't happen because that boy is so gorgeous and seems like such a sweetheart, but the media keeps painting him out to be a major douche and yes, the media are twisting words and actions and making people out to be devil when they're angels, but there's got to be some truth in it, right? Disney High is just too much drama for me right now. I'm all for the Nick and Kevin love now. Probably Kevin more because he's NEVER in the gossip for bad things, it's all how much he loves his Danielle and I love him for that.

Not to mention, my Miley-obsession is fast outgrowing my Demi-obsession. I still adore Demi to death, she's definitely on the top of my girl-crush list, but Miley's Miley and there's no one like her. And I love her. lol

With all this "Brenda/Joe/Chloe" thing going on (which, just no), I have to agree with daisyfuckduck who posted the most awesome comment ever: "Joe is the male Helena of Troy. Chloe is going to declare war over this, Brenda is going to fight to her death, and Demi will just end up taking him in the end."

I have no issues with this whatsoever, as long as Joseph and Demetria stay OUT OF TROUBLE.

If I have to bring in my shipping side to this, (which I haven't yet, thankyouverymuch), I'll say I agree with Becky who posted on Twitter: "Seriously I find it funny that Joe supposedly was an issue in the Demi/Alex Noyes beakup and in the Trace breakup and yet he only sees her as a sister. And yet Brenda's supposedly dating Flo-Rida, has been a long-term Jonas friend, and the Joe/Demi (or Smitchie) kiss is filming this week... Can everyone scream publicity stunt? I think it's a publicity stunt, after the Toronto performance, butt tap and CR2 kiss, Brenda's a "cover-up"."

I agree. Too much hinkidink to add up.

I ask of you, look at these two animations from the aforementioned Toronto concert and butt-tap and tell me there aren't any romantic feelings between them:

I'm just sayin'.

Okay, I'm done.

Work has been really slow this week and the week before that. So slow, in fact, that I haven't gotten any jobs. I honestly don't mind, but I'm beginning to feel a bit restless - I'm all for a week of relaxing, but for two weeks or more? I begin to climb on walls.

Thankfully I have dance. Like tonight. I'm hoping it'll go well, I have nothing that says it won't go well so yay. Not to mention, a friend of mine was asked to teach hip hop to a group of 9-13-year-olds and asked me to help out. It would, apparently, be once a week for six months. Not quite sure if she meant for me to help her teach the class or just generally help her with choreography or whatever, but for what it's worth, it's a lovely gesture on her part and a great thing for me no matter what I end up doing.

Just got this in the mail from my grandmum and I think it's such a beautiful meaning (one we've all heard before, but it doesn't hurt to hear it again).

To my gorgeous ladies waiting for that special someone:

Take too many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt, because if you dwell even for 60 seconds, that's a minute of lost happiness.
Find a boy who says you're beautiful and not that you're okay, who calls you back even when you hung up on him, who stays up just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world even if you're dressed in a potato sack, and who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the boy who regularly reminds you of how much he loves you and how lucky he is to be with you.
Wait for the boy who tells all his friend: "She's the One..."

This will be a dance update, so we're all clear on that.

Well today was both good and bad. See, my knee hurt really bad at the end of class today because we started with this new choreography that's very low and lots of twists and turns so my knee is "at risk", so to speak. But I felt my knee hurt, did the choreography once more and then stepped off - I do not want it to get worse, thankyouverymuch.

Now, the actual choreography is super fun. It's to "Evacuate the Dancefloor" by Cascada if you're interested. I love it. High energy (like all of Emilio's choreographies) and a lot of up-and-down. The hard part about this dance is that it's fast (what else is new?) and it has really powerful moves, but you have to be really low, bend your knees. Not to mention it should feel like you're moving in syrup almost, a bit gooey but not so gooey it sticks. lol Makes sense? Yeah, no, it's hard to explain it. It looks awesome, but it's hard as crap. Like, I understand the choreography, I know it in my head, but my body doesn't yet. But the thing about me catching onto choreography fast - even if my body doesn't necessarily know it - is that the people around me knows that. I got three of the girls asking me how this or that move was done. So that felt pretty awesome. They could have asked our teachers, or this other girl who's a teacher at the school but a student in this class (and who could actually do the steps), but they asked me! Me! So cool.

Aand, I got a compliment from Emilio, which is huge. He doesn't give out compliments that often (he does, but not every ten minutes, you know?), but he singled me out today during floorwork. Yay me! I didn't even realise I was doing it right (probably because I was really focused on the excercise), but apparently I did the pirouette really clean and sharp. Woo. Of course everything went downhill from that comment, but still, a compliment! I don't generally get a lot of comments, good or bad, so yay.

Dad said he thinks I'll be an assistant choreographer soon. Maybe have a class on my own. So sweet. My Dad's probably the one that's been most supportive of any activities me or Sissy has done over the years. Mom's supportive, but Dad's just very into it. I love my Daddy.

...yeah, I don't really have anything else to say, I just wanted to get that out. :) Heeh.
