You can say I'm shallow. Alternatively, you can say I'm shallow.

I have finally compiled a list of all my celebrity crushes. There's a lot, so put your feet up.

Skandar Keynes (actor, most credited for being in The Chronicles of Narnia movies)
Bill Kaulitz (musician, most credited for being lead singer of band Tokio Hotel)
Gustav Schäfer (musician, most credited for being drummer of band Tokio Hotel)
Deon Rexroat (musician, most credited for being bassist of band Anberlin)
Viggo Mortensen (actor, most credited for being in movies Hidalgo and The Lord of the Rings)
Penn Badgley (actor, most credited for being in television show "Gossip Girl")
Zack Merrick (musician, most creditied for being bassist for band All Time Low)
Matt Hoopes (musician, most credited for being lead guitarist for band Relient k)
Garrett Nickelsen (musician, most credited for being bassist for band The Maine)

And though you could say I have a crush on Nate Young of Anberlin, I would much prefer him as one of the most superduperallywhooper!...big brothers ever. :)

New Band!

Okay, okay, you're probably going, "Does this kid ever give it a rest? She seriously needs to get a life."

BUT! This is not another band to listen to. It is a band that I am in! See, Amanda, Haley, Lucas (Mandaaa's brother) and I are deciding to start a band. We're called A Dream Put On Hold (after many days of debate)and it's honestly not that organized yet, since we either have instruments or we don't have them and know how to play them (wait...that makes no sense, scratch that) or neither. In my case, I have neither.

Guess what I am going to play! Vocals? Geez, you're stupid: I can't sing to save my dear dog. Poor thing ): That's why Amanda's doing that, plus playing the keyboard. Drums? Nope, I'm not hardcore enough to do that, which is why Lucas is going to be the one who plays the drums. Guitar? Nope, I'm not cool enough to play lead guitar. Haley's just cool enough.

And then there's the bass guitar. Yep, that's a me, Renee! And you just can't help but gasp because bass guitar is the sweetest instrument out there after concert flute. So ha! I am now Renee the Almost Bassist, since I still have to learn how to play one. x)

You know those cool nicknames band members have? Here's ours:

Amanda= The Commanda (Commander+Amanda=Commanda)
Haley= Comet (Haley's Comet, geddit?!)
Renee= The Grenade (Gustav+Renee= Grenae)
Lucas= we'll just call him Pukas for now

Oh! and I came up with Tokio Hotel's band members too:

Bill=boss
Tom= Casanova
Georg= gladiator
Gustav=secret agent investigator
full time negotiator
seven seas navigator
hums in elevator
heart beat accelerator

That's talent, right there.

Do you know what also baffles me? "Spring Nicht" and "Don't Jump" were the only ones I could find that were extremely similar to the point where you go, "AH-EEEEEE! HOW DO THEY DO THAT?!!!"

Have you noticed how freakishly similar the videos for "Spring Nicht" and "Don't Jump" are? It would have been great to film "Spring Nicht", but how did they get "Don't Jump" to be so alike?

You can't say they took out the music and replaced it with the English version, because you have to think about the lip-sync. Have you seen it? One's coordinating with the German lyrics and the other with the English lyrics. How do they do that?

I really want to know the director for those music videos. He's got talent. Plus the videos are very beautiful.

I'm slow!

I'm pretty dang sure everyone has noticed this, but I just saw it and laughed till my sister was like O.o

I decided I wanted to carefully watch all of Tokio Hotel's music videos, German and English, just to observe everything they do in them. I started with "Don't Jump" because that one is obviously the one that was most carefully thought through, and wound down to "Scream."

Just watching, not expecting anything, then I got to the bridge where all the girls are kissing *cringe* and then at the last pair, I saw Bill was watching them. Then they noticed him and Bill was like, "No."

I frickin' loved his face! Here's a link if you want to see it:

Go to 2:20 to see it. Or you can just watch the whole thing if you want. :D

And was Bill wearing cowboy boots in that video? I know he does wear them, but now...argh! I seriously need to get a pair, now that Christian and Bill wear them.

Dead.

...okay, I haven't gone to bed yet.

But I just learned Yves Saint Laurent just died in Paris this evening. Don't you think there is just a bit of time for me to stay up to remember what he did TO MAKE WOMEN FEEL POWERFUL *superman pose*? You too. :)

New Band!

Yes, again.

I wouldn't say they're as coolio as Tokio Hotel or as amazing as Relient k, but their sound is very electrifying and energetic. Remember Pat Kirch?

Hooray! Then you should remember The Maine! It's kind of degrading how I only have their EP to listen to, unlike Relient k. When I first liked them and began to avidly listen to them, they had just come out with Five Score and Seven Years Ago! Five albums: a bit of music there...

But I like The Maine's love songs. It's not pop, it's not punk. That's why they came up with the genre pop punk. *nods* Yes. And I can actually relate to the love songs, because I can't really fake my own suicide, you know what I mean?

John Ohhh= the cool guy
Garrett Nickelsen= the awsome, excellent, oh-so-grand man
Pat Kirch= the cute wittle boy <3
Kennedy Brock= the good looking guy
Jared Monaco= the majestic man

There you go. Do you think I should go to bed? Me too. *nods off*

New Tokio Hotel TV Episode (yes, again ;D)

#28.

Comet Awards! Time for tension! I found out about the Comet Awards maybe a month ago, and I would have voted if I knew how, because when I clicked on the link to vote, it wouldn't go! So that depressing to think I wasn't able to add to the fact I was part of that award.

SO ANYWAY! Did you see Bill's new look?! I gotta say, he was very handsome (...why am I saying it again?) and I was like DDD: because he took out his ferocious streaks! But apparently in the next video he has them again. It would be cool if he alternated.

I was also extremely surprised at how Tokio Hotel was nominated for three categories, won all of them, and won the COOLIO SUPERCOMET! Come on, for any devoted Tokio Hotel fan, you can only jump so high in the air! I am so proud of them. *sniff* That is all.
