HEY WAIT!!!!!
before this song gets too popular and everyone starts hating Owl City again, I have something to say!
Good Time, by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, is extremely disappointing :( I mean seriously, it has the lyrical value of a Rihanna song (and all of you had better follow that link in her name to see what I'm talking about because it took me FOREVER to find that picture again!!). And Ok, maybe its not quite that bad.... at least not the first half of the song, but the second half definitely is.
ANYWAYS, what I'm saying is.... Don't hate Owl City!! I know this song sounds way overplayed before you even finish listening to it the first time, but I want you to just forgive them. Go listen to Maybe I'm Dreaming or Ocean Eyes or All Things Bright And Beautiful (those are all albums by the way, not specific song recommendations, but I can give you those too if you ask!!). The wonderland that is Adam Young's music is waiting to sing you a sweet symphony of joy and wonder!
But I do have to admit, I don't mind listening to the song half as much while watching the music video as when I'm not watching the video. I'm guessing its because I get to look at Adam's wonderful, short haired, clean-shaven, face. He's never looked so gooood!
Introducing a new series that will be appearing on my blog from time to time:
FANGIRLING!
(Basically, this is where I will be talking about all of the really cool things I am obsessing over. Yay!)
So, the first installment of my fan girl series is about:
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
I love those silly, dramatic Jane Austen period romances, especially Pride and Prejudice. And I knoooooow, P&P has been redone so many times most sane people are probably getting sick of it, but you have NEVER seen a story told like this! The P&P story we all know had been modernized (in a cool way) and told through a vlog started by Lizzie Bennet (with guest appearances from other characters in the story!).
New episodes come out every Monday and Thursday, which is awesome because it means I don't go crazy from anticipation like all of those other stupid series that make me wait a whole week in between episodes (my impatience is the main reason I usually give up on watching a full series).
BUT THERES MORE!!!!
Not only is it super relatable to hear the story like its being told to you by a friend (I mean, I really feel like she is a real modern person), but you can also keep up with the characters through other social media! You can like Jane, Lydia, and Lizzie Bennet, and their friend Charlotte Lu on Facebook see random posts from the characters pop up in your news feed through out the week. AND you can follow most of the character on Twitter (and yes, sometimes they actually respond to tweets):
and I'm pretty sure Jane has one too, I just don't have the link at the moment....
ALSO: Jane is on Pinterest and Look Book, Lydia has a Tumblr and recently started her own vlog, and the list goes on and on.... but what I'm saying is that I've NEVER seen a story told this way before, and I really like it LOVE IT <3 <3 <3 I'm someone who is kinda addicted to social media and the internet, so the fact that I'm surrounded by the story is pretty awesome for me.
The characters are seriously just like real people to me, only instead of running into them aroudn town youu run into in different places on the internet (Which is just like our real friends anyways, right? I mean, I have friends that I follow on Facebook, Twitter (sorta but not really haha...), their blogs, youtube acounts, and Pinterst. This is seriously the best modernization of anything that I've ever seen....... seriously.
anywho..... you should all check it out!!! They are up to episode 30 something now, I think...
....a conversation that you aren't having face-to-face.
There are SOOOO many surefire ways of ending these kinds of conversations:
K KK yep cool [not sending a response] Affirmative :) Alright lol
BUT, if you are a decent human being who realizes that on the other side of those electric-y signals flying through the air is a living breathing human being, you will end your conversations in a way you would when talking to an actual person whose conversation you value. Which means saying goodbye. 'Tis the only acceptable way of ending a conversation.
