Midnight Posts: Part Deux

So I was thinking, it's been ages since I did one of those stupid midnight posts, so here goes! Half an hour to tomorrow! (EDIT: For those of you who haven't read my blog from the beginning (shame on you), this is not anything cool, it's just me trying to put up a post before after-midnight. Don't grudge me this, I need excitement in my life.)

Vaas appenin'? WARNING: This post will probably make no sense as a) for some reason, count downs seriously freak me out so most of these sentences will be in the language I like to call Gibbering Idiot b) I'm listening to my favourite songs, most of which involve awesome guitar. Awesome guitar is never conducive to good writing. There's a tip kids, write it down.

Hey y'all how's it going? (Aaaagggh, think you stupid brain, type something!) It speaks volumes for my current social life that I'm dying for school to start right now. My friends and I were up till three last night. Playing Pictionary.... On WhatsApp through our mobile phones. AT THREE IN THE MORNING. We need lives. Or at least, better smileys. WhatsApp's limited selection is the only reason I lost. Repeatedly.

My Dad told me today that I should try to thank at least most of you by name. Um, I don't actually spend all my time in front of the computer, as my posts might lead you to believe, so that might not be possible, but please believe I appreciate each of you sincerely. So the reason I brought up the Pictionary thing is because it was during the game that I first saw Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe video.
It was three a.m. so my first impression was basically: DUUUUDE THAT GUY IS WORKED. LOL SONG. CARLY RAE JEPSEN HAS PRETTY HAIR, I CUT MINE LIKE HER!

You can probably guess how that worked out. Yeah, no, it looks terrible. I will post pictures soon I promise.

I woke up in the morning with a vague memory of shirtless dudes with lawn movers so I decided to go watch the video again. Here is the Call Me Maybe, in its video form, dissected for you. You're welcome.

So the video starts with CRJ standing in front of a window and creeping all over this guy with a lawn mower. For some reason, at this point, the guy decides to randomly take his top off in slow motion (no complaints, though. Homie is built.) And then Carly (Can I call you Carly?) does this really cute thing where she tries to wash a car seductively and ends up falling off it, apparently followed by her getting a concussion and making kissing noises into the air while The Hot One watches bemusedly. The song ends up with Rae-Rae (I love her name. There's so many possible nicknames in there.) and her band performing for him. He likes it.
The lyrics to this song are freaking ridiculous. They're not terrible, but it's Girlfriend Syndrome all over again which is just sad. The main reason I hate them are because they're super catchy so I go around singing them in my head and the whole time I'm going "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, so here's my number-", I'm thinking what the freak am I saying?!
That was the first reason this song annoys me. The second is that no matter how hard I try I can't not like it. Carly Rae Jepsen's so cute and she doesn't mind laughing at herself so the video's really lighthearted and fun to watch. Also the guy turns out to be gay and crushing on Carly's guitarist. WIN.

Four minutes left! I'm proud of myself. Tomorrow I'm going to be taking an "art class" for these kids I know, so that should be fun. Went shopping today and bought shorts! Not the ones I wanted coz my Mum had a sudden bout of Indian Parent and didn't let me get the cute pair, but still it's all good. Toodles! Have a totes awesome Thursday y'all.
