Teen Choice awards

I was just reading the results. I cant believe most of them. This one in particular...

Choice music: Love song

Don't matter- Akon

First Time - Lifehouse

Lost without you - Robert Thicke

Stolen - Dashboard Confessional

With love - Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff won!? Lifehouse lost out to Hilary Duff?!?!!? Thats just not right.

Carrie Underwood should have won choice female artist, not Fergie. I cant stand Fergie.

I cant beleive Hannah Montana won Choice comedy show over things like Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty. Ive never watched any of those but theyre in a totally different league to Hannah Montana. Is it all 12 year olds that vote? Not that I have anything against 12 year old and their opinions. Its just Hilary Duff and Hannah Montana suggests young kids.

Its also a bit rubbish that Jared Padalecki lost out on the Choice TV Actor: Drama to Hugh Laurie and that Jensen wasnt even nominated! Although Ive never watched House but I hear its awesome so maybe it was deserved.

On a positive note though, Allison Mack won Choice Tv Sidekick - Woo!

Missing! Big yellow object usually seen in the sky. Answers to, The Sun

Where'd summer go?! We've totally bypassed summer and gone straight from spring to autumn.This summer has sucked so much. For example, its been raining non stop for the last 2 days. Last summer half our year at school went to the beach the day after our last ever day of high school and it was a great day. It was a really hot, sunny day and everyone had fun. We were going to do it again this summer but we haven't seen any sun! Ok so theres been a few days but most of the time its been cloudy and not very warm or raining. I know its Scotland and we're kind of famed for our crappy weather but our summers are usually good. Ive been in jeans and long sleeved tops all summer! I was really looking forward to this summer and was planning to just hang out with friends, taking random trips to the beach or out for wanders around the woods or lying about a park all day but nooooo.

Wish I was still in Arizona/Utah/Nevada - it was over 100F every day we were on holiday. Ok thats a bit hot but at least its hot n sunny. *huffs*

Bet the weather gets good about september when university starts up again.

Goddamn global warming....

Shiney new music addictions

Theres 5 albums Im currently addicted to. Theyre all my Ipod plays at the moment and Im pretty sure its getting sick of them. There arent many albums I can listen to all the way through and really say I love all the tracks.I can definately say that about these albums though. In no particular order.....

Livin' on the Run - Scott Grimes

Is anyone thinking, hey, he looks reeeallly familiar? Its Dr Morris from ER. Totally awesome album. Its great roadtrip music. Sounds very Bruce Springsteen-y. My favourite tracks are Livin' on the run (makes me smile, without fail, every time), Summerthing (very upbeat and happy and not surprisingly, summery), Carrie (less upbeat but its pretty) and I wanna be there. There isnt a single bad song on this album.

Paramore - Riot!

Paramore's first album was pretty good. There were one or two songs I wasnt too crazy about but over all it was good.This album is so much better than the first! Every song is great. Theres a good mix of upbeat, rocky songs and slow almost ballad-y sounding songs. Haley Williams, the singer has an impressive voice, especially considering she's only 18.

Favourite tracks - Thats what you get, Misery business, When it rains, Crush Crush Crush (amazing song! Probably the best on the album) and Fences.

Lifehouse - Who we are

Words cannot express how much I love Lifehouse. They are my all time favourite band. They have quite a distinctive sound because Jason Wade has an unusual voice. Their previous 3 albums were amazing but Who We Are is, in my opinion, the best yet. I couldnt possibly pick a favourite song (although First time, Who we are and Disarray are particularly good). The only not so good one is Storm.

Maroon 5 - It wont be soon before too long

This album wins the award for most confusing album name. I fell in love with Maroon 5s first album "Songs about Jane" pretty much the first time I listened to it. This one had the same effect.Great album with lots of dance-worthy tunes. Good for parties. Adam Lavine is another guy with a really distinctive voice. This is another one where I cant pick a definate favourite track. Cant stop, Kiwi and Makes me wonder are really pretty fabulous however.

Daughtry - Daughtry

Apparently Chris Daughtry was on American Idol. I didnt know that till I was told the other day cuz I dont watch it. My friend introduced me to this album a couple of weeks ago and its another one I fell in love with. Sounds quite like 3 doors down but with a bitmore variation. Theres some rocky tracks, some really rocky tracks, some slower more mellow tracks, great lyrics, a great voice and great guitar moments (including an appearance by Slash) which all come together very nicely.

Favourite tracks - Used to, Its not over, What I want, Crashed

Gilmore Girls: I love it but it bugs me

Just before I start, despite the little annoyances, I Love Gilmore Girls. Its funny and quick witted and the relationships are awesome. But hello, over-reaction, thy name is Lorelai. And Dean. And Jess. And Emily. And Richard. And Rory. Ok, point made I think.

The tinyest little things turn the characters into ranting crazy people.

Example one: In the season one ep "Star crossed lovers and other strangers" Dean tells Rory he loves her. She, taken by surprise, doesnt say it back. Dean freaks out and breaks up with her. I mean come on. He's her first boyfriend, its bound to take her by surprise. Break up? Over reaction much?

Example two: In season two, "Teach me tonight", Rory and Jess are out for a drive. Jess is driving Rory's car (not entirely sure why) and some form of small animal runs out infront of the car, Jess swerves to avoid hitting it and they crash. They're both totally fine apart from Rory's broken wrist. Sure a broken wrist is bad but its not awful. Lorelai freaks out spectacularly and wants to kill Jess, Christopher rushes to the hospital and wants to kill Jess, the whole town wants to kill Jess, Lorelai blames it all on Luke and they have a massive blow-out, Lorelai takes Rory home and insists she stays in her bed and fusses over her like she has some horrible disease and rants. Alot.... I understand the whole "it could have been so much worse" thing but she only broke her wrist!

Example three: In season three's "Let the games begin", Richard takes Rory, Lorelai and Emily on a tour of Yale. Turns out he's organised an interview for Rory without anyone knowing. Rory isnt happy about it because she was totally unprepared (despite the fact the interviewer loved her), Lorelai freaks out because her father is medling yet again, Emily freaks out because Richard did it all in secret and lied to her... Ok so he shouldn't have done it all in secret but he was trying to help. It was all done with good intentions (apart from the fact he would rather Rory went to Yale than Harvard).

As for the guys in Rory's life. Dean, while he is really really lovely and sweet and loves her to bits and all the rest of it, hes so jealous. He stops talking to her over silly things. Then again,because hes so nice, she does kinda treat him like crap sometimes, like a lap dog (but as we all know, Sam Winchester is a puppy so...). Jess on the other hand, has his moments when hes really lovely but most of the time hes huffy as hell and totally obnoxious. To everyone! Yes, hes not had the greatest life and has had some tough breaks but talk about biting the hand that feeds him. Jess honey, lighten up and realise when you've got a good thing going in Stars Hollow

.

Ok, rant over. And yeah, that was also just a really good excuse to use that picture :D

Haven't posted in ever...

Wow its been a really long time since I posted a blog entry. I guess I havent have much to say lately. Still dont but I figured I should write something.

Just back from holiday. Spent 2 weeks doing the national parks along the Utah/Arizona border (Im doing geography and environmental science at uni so Im interested in erosion and rocks and rock formations....yes I know, Im a big geek) then a week in Las Vegas. It was great. Insanely hot though - over 100F every day and for someone from a country where 75F is a hot day, that hard to adjust to. Almost died twice. Ok thats maybe a bit of an exaggeration. We went for a walk the first day we were there, middle of the desert in over 100F and obviously not enough water. So by the time we wandered through the canyon and got back to the car I was close to passing out, my mum did pass out (that was fun, her lying in the sand with passers by giving her water and checking she was ok - talk about drawing attention), my brother was up chucking everywhere...*shakes head*.

We did learn our lesson after that. Mostly. Later on in the holiday we were in Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park and decided to go wander through the sand dunes. We did have loads of water this time but the dunes were further away than they looked. We were also out for longer than we expected/realised/meant to so walking back from the dunes to the car we ran out of water. Did get close to passing out but didnt. Felt really ill though.

Ok so it must have beenobvious we were tourists. We've been going to the states every summer for 12 years so its not like we dont know we need water and all the rest of it. Misjudgment on our part lol.We went on loads of walks in that two weeks so dehydrating twice probably isnt that bad...hmmm....

We also drove through the creepiest town. It was honestlystraight out of Supernatural! It was one of those really little towns whereeveryone knows everyone and they clearly dont like outsiders. We drove up to crossroads and there was a truck with one guy in it who watched us drive past. Then we turned around and drove back out via the same crossroads. Beside said crossroads was a little cafe with only two people in it! Both of whom watched us drive past. They were the only 3 people we saw in the whole town. It had a poulation of 450 so where was everyone else? Then justafter we left the town a battery powered thing we were using mysteriously up anddied. Im not kidding. It was quite a funny experience actually, being the Supernaturaladdict that I am.

Now that Im home Ive been re-watching Buffy and not getting a job like people keep trying to make me do. I love Buffy so much. Since it finished Ive only ever watched random episodes, never watched them in order. So Im rewatching them all from the start. I'd forgotten how awesome it is!!! Almost finished season 3.I love Xander. I never used to be all that bothered about him but hes just so funny and quick and sarcastic and snarky. Hes great.

Y'know considering I dont have much to say Ive managed to write alot. About nothing of interest either. Oops. If you managed tostick it out,well done.

Until my next rambling...

Dukes prequel?! You've gotta be kidding! *Rant warning*

I just read something about the new Dukes of Hazzard movie thats being made. To be honest I had forgotten such a movie was being made - with good reason too! The first one was bad enough. The characters were all wrong (eg. Uncle Jesse as a dirty old man rather than the sweet, God fearing man he was in the original series), the cast was even more wrong and little things that happened just went so against the basic ideas of the series. Like the moonshine. Bo and Luke would never have touched moonishine incase they were caught with it because it was why they were on probation in the first place, yet in the movie they were transporting it in the General Lee! Im not gonna go into it any more because It really annoys me and I tend to rant. Alot.

Now I read about the second movie which is supposed to be a prequel. The cast has changed (apart from Willie Nelson still being Uncles Jesse. Unfortunately.) which is good because it is a prequel so the characters need to be younger and also Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville sucked out loud! I.M.O anyway. Its now Jonathan Bennett as Bo (which is a bit wierd since he was in an ep of Smallville with John Schneider the original Bo Duke) and *checks*...Randy Wayne as Luke. They could pass as teenage Bo and Luke I guess but if this movie is as moronic as the first one I may actually have to cause pain to the movie crew. Or not lol.

Its supposed to be a teenage Bo and Luke who go to Hazzard after some kind of run in with the law so they go to help Jesse on his farm. Nothing wrong with that you may say.... In the series is it made perfectly clear (possibly even stated) that Bo, Luke and Daisy go to Hazzard as toddlers after their parents are killed in a car accident. Oh look, another Dukes movie crapping up the original series ideas. Why even bother?! People hated the first movie, they even got angry about it. Even the original cast hated the movie. It won awards for worst things (rather than things like best movie, it was at least nomiated for things like worst movie). Note to movie execs or directors or whatever - just stop! Right now! You're just embarrasing yourselves!

 Ok now that thats out of my system im gonna stop ranting. Sorry about that.

Roadtrip music

Im putting together a Roadtrip playlist on my ipod - mostly just because I feel like it but also because my family and I are going on a bit of a roadtrip in the summer (I realise that is it ages away still lol). So I need some suggestions about what songs to have. Obviously there's alot in Supernatural but theres so many that I need some recommendations as to which ones are the best.

Suggestions dont have to be songs from Supernatural, it can be any kind of roadtrippy song.

I was also doing one of those quiz things that you can put your results from in blogs. This one was a "what is your theme tune" quiz. (Supernatural fans will appreciate this...) It said my theme tune was Back in Black by ACDC. I thought it was quite a funny coincidence.

Anyway, thanks for any music suggestions.

I miss the way things used to be

 Im really missing my friends from high school and everything about the way things used to be. You know that feeling you get when youre homesick? I feel like that but im not homesick, I miss people. With all the work from uni and being at uni every day I dont have any spare time - literally. I get up in the morning, go to university for the day, come home and write up notes and do assignments, go to bed and then repeat it all the next day. Weekends are spent catching up on stuff I havent had time to do through the week. At high school I was always happy through the day because my friends kept me that way - they cheered me up, made me laugh, we had fun adn were there for each other and now with the way uni is making me feel I wish I could see them or chat to them. Not to sound stupid but they totally "got me" and knew what I was like and how I was obsessed with TV shows and I how had a tendancy to go on about things. The friends im at uni with don't. Ill see something that relates to a show or an episode of something, point it out and get an eye roll or be told i'm sad (infact the other day I was told to shut up. Ok so it was in a jokey way but still...). Before, people would have known what I was talking about and totally appreciated the reference. Sometimes I feel like I dont really fit with the uni friends. I just realised this entire blog sounds like theres issues between me and my uni friends or that we dont get on which isnt true. Theyre great and we have fun and laughter but we arent that close and we're quite different. I just really really miss my little group.

Supernatural survey thing.

 I stole this from JessWH tee hee

When did you start watching Supernatural? From the pilot.

What made you want to watch it? I watched Smallville and heard that Jensen was getting his own show. The whole urban legend thing sounded cool too. Back when it started I didnt know who Jared was and id only seen jensen in Smallville so it wasnt even because of them.

Who is your favourite character? Sam and Dean obviously.

What is your favourite episode/s? Pilot, Bloody Mary, Scarecrow, Faith, Devils trap. Oh and Hell House! How could I forget that one.

What is your least favourite episode/s? Route 666 (season 2 hasnt started here yet *cries*)

Who was your least favourite character they ran into? That big darn truck in Devils Trap!! Ok, so its not a character. Not sure, I cant think of anyone at the moment.

What is your favourite quote? Theres waaay too many to choose from. "I hope your apple pie was freaking worth it!" "Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole" "Dude, you gotta update your cassette tape collection, why, well for one - theyre cassettes".... I could go on....

Evil Dean? or Evil Sam? Ooh, evil Sam :wink:

John or Sam? Sam

Demon or Meg? Meg

Huge freaky knife or shot gun? Shot gun!

What's the worst (scariest) thing they've run into? Bloody Mary freaked me out. I hear the clowns are bad but I havent seen it (dont tell me anything about it).

Metallicar or Truckzilla? Metallicar obviously! Although im not totally clear on what Truckzilla is. John's truck right? But still Metallicar wins by miles.
