Livvy's Just Dying Again, Because of a Book.

Haha, what else would I be dying from, illness? Silly, that only happens in books!

Oooooh my god oh my freaking god ahhhhhhhhh I take back everything I said about not finding books oh god I'm addicted this is worse than Twilight it's so suspenseful fantastic amazing sexy interesting aahhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm going to try and talk about this in a calm virtualvoice but remember that all I really want to be saying is ahhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh neeeeeddddd thhhiirrrrdd onnnneeee nowwwwwwww oh my godddd so yeah. I'm putting of even looking for the title to make sure everyone understands how dead I am right now. SO GOOD. 
Called Hush , Hush, by Bella Fitzpatrik. Paranormal Romance, shut up. The first one was amazing. The second one is killing me, now. The ending is killing me, it's like, the worst cliff hanger you've ever heard of. Okay. Calm down. 
Background information: I heard about this book at that Feminisr-Science Fiction convention I went to, and it was used as an example of young girl lusting over, like, I think it's called play-rape? I forget. When, like, threatening and being strong and violent is seen as sexy? ANNYYYWAYYY it wasn't bad, though. In my opinion. They were gorgeous. Pretty much what I've been looking for. I guess I saw the patheticness of our main character Nora a few times, but she wasn't overwhelmingly antifeminist. And Patch, you know, the guy, was like, the ultimate mystery. And every second of the book you kind of hate him but also kindasortareallyreallyreally hope that everyone was wrong and it wasn't him because SIGH. 

I read the first one Sunday night. You know how yesterday, I wad like, dying, and bought caffeine, and almost fell asleep in Social Studies? That was because the thing I was doing until 2 in the morning was reading Hush, Hush. Oh my iPod. I've discovered free books, by the way. The Internet rocks. It's like our ESRTs. Whenever you think it can't possibly get any better you run across something amazing like a earthquake graph OR FREE BOOKS. anyway. I'll talk about that later, actually, because I know that this discovery will change my life. Greatly. For the better.

Back to Bella f. Hush Hush starts out a little cliche (when I say cliche I mean Twilight) with the girl in biology sitting next to the kid who is all supermegafoxyawesomehot but it's the other way around, she hates him and he's flirting with her a lot. 
And someone is stalking her and it appears to be him but who knows because the book is SO FREAKING SUSPENSEFUL and that's why I needed to finish it, no questions asked. 

The second one, which I was just waiting for the ending the whole time (which of course needed to be exactly how I wanted it because something bad happened in the beginning and I'm not telling you what because you all have to read it now) was also freaking dramatic and crap and the ending wasn't exactly right but it was still amazing and god I need to find the next one now I don't know what I'm doing writing this. 

I feel a little addicted. My iPod died in the middle of the second one and I was like shaking and tapping my foot and fidgeting until it responded to the plug in and started up IT TAKES FOREVER and opened the page and I started reading. 

Guys, it's very good. Trust me. The reason I didn't say anything in school about it was because it wasn't so good then. The sequel made it good. 

Well, I don't know. Maybe it wasn't the best book, you know? But it was exactly what I was looking for. I fell into that book. I needed to finish it. I forgot about whatever else. I forgot that I was on a freaking iPod and the text I was looking at had all these random breaks and spaces because of whatever those wonderful people used to get it on to the magical Internet. It was a pretty good book. 

More exciting than Twilight. More romantically satisfying. Kind of reminded me of City of Glass, or whichever's the last one, because of the whole confusion over who is good and bad and related to you and in love and sexy and an angel or a half angel or whatever. I liked City of Glass because of those things.

This is also the sort of book, like City of Glass, where you are just screaming at the characters the whole time. That is a good plot, by the way, if it makes you do that. It was just like NOOOO NORRAAAA STUUIPIIDDDD IDIOOOTTTT I LOVE PATCH GO BACK AND FIND HIM SO I CAN DIE HAPPILY I'm kidding, that was an exaggeration. But the book is definitely suspenseful. And it killed me. 
And whenever something killed me, it's worth looking into reading/viewing. For example, Boy A. Twilight. THE BOOK THIEF. I think that's my strongest example. Starkid. Have I ever let you down before? NO. I HAVEN'T. So if you're a girl and are reading this now, you need to go out and read Hush, Hush, by Bella Fitzpatrick. Then the sequel, Crescendo. Then report back to me before starting the third one, and if you haven't had a mental death of suspense you can just stop being my friend, whatever. Kidding. But you should try. 

Now I'm going to look up the third one. Oh dear god I hope it's out I might have to kill someone if this seriously is how I have to survive. I'm being melodramatic. But I hate it when I have to wait for a book to come out; I always loose interest. I CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THIS BOOK DON'T LET ME, DEAL? I'm going to look it up now. Don't worry, I won't read it tonight if I find it. I'm still tired from.... Ah, god, it's yesterday by now. After midnight. I will go to sleep within ten minutes of now, I promise! Read the book! Sorry for typos, remember, ipod, speed is everything. I'll post the links later, for the online books. I think I still have them. I better. Good night.

Edit: Her name's actually Becca, not Bella. Oops.
Also, the third one is called The Tempest, bad title, and I'm going to wait until morning to see if it's out yet and who I should kill if it's not.

Maybe I'll read Twilight, that's always good.

I didn't watch a movie this weekend. Weird, I know. Instead I read Be More Chill (again) (awesome book) (I know, a book, right? Weird). It was good, again. Not as good as the first few times DRAMATIC SIGH. I need something excellent to read. Anyway. It was good. I like Jeremy. He's cool. This time, reading it, I realized that Christine is a jerk. I don't like her. Especially this one part, at the end, when she says: "If you weren't so DUMB, I would've liked it," while crying and running away. Jerk. I really like Rich. He's cool. Did he actually die at the end? It wasn't clear. How I read it the first time was that Jake died and Rich survived. Anyone remember? If you don't, then you should definitely read the book.

I went to a Suffer-Jets game (roller derby). It was awesome! I want to have a roller derby picnic now and watch a game with all of YOU because it's such a cool game. It's like... Actually, it's not really like any other sport, so I can't really compare. Maybe like hockey-football-speed skating? Don't judge. Plus they all have awesome names. MaMadusa. Fat Dracula. BeeBee Gunn. Poison Ivy (my 3rdgradefriend Ivy plays in the junior league).

It's so cool.

What else did I want to talk about..... Uh...... I'll remember later. Also, I'm getting better at typing on my iPod. Yay!

Our Competition.

New Furniture

Well, relatively new. I got it recently, like last week, but I haven't actually told anyone seriously. These are some pictures of it. Is it not gorgeous?



Yes, those are pictures of my bedrooms. Creepers, rejoice.
I have so many of those, don't I? Haha.

I'm enjoying sleeping on a bed that doesn't creak and bend whenever you sit on it. It's quite nice. And as long as I keep that blind down so the freaking sun doesn't wake me up in the morning, I'm good. It's pretty cool. Other than the deep drawers, they're like a foot deep! (Double). Can you imagine?! It's so annoying! But that and the height of the dresser (it's so high! the problem is not that I am short, obviously, the problem is that it's like, three inches (gasp) taller than my other one.) there aren't any problems. But my old set was broken. Completely. So I'm happy. Completely.


Oh my god, my room is so clean. Not like it is now. It's been like a week. 

Whatever. Deal.

Also, I'm feeling kind of awkward with my 34 followers. Hi, people. Do you really read it? Hi. Hello. Welcome to my blog. I just noticed you guys there, seriously. Welcome. Hi again.

Listen to Good Music; It Makes you Ramble About Happy Things. I love semicolons.



The best part is the one "totally awesome" in the beginning, by one of the Darren Criss Fan Girls.

I would be there. In a heartbeat. Just saying.

Anyway. The other best part, is the "I'm assuming you're meaning, you know, in chess, right? Because that only works if you're on the black side." The Harry Freaking Potter from Starkid totally came out there for me.

It's also really really really really really really really amazing and impressive how he can talk about the sexuality of his character (and how it's different than his) and talk about kissing Chris (Kurt) and all the feeling of it for him and his character and Chris's character and all of that. It definitely gained him lots of respect. From me. I always thought it was kind of interesting how he actually had to COME OUT as straight on the show.

And the jokes made me sure that he was still Harry Freaking Potter, which I wasn't totally sure of, and yeah. I'm happy now.

Plus I'm almost caught up on all of the America's Next Top Models, and yeah. The finale is like, soon.

I'M REALLY SORRY FOR THE SHALLOWNESS OF THOSE LAST PARAGRAPHS, IT GETS BETTER FROM HERE, PROMISE.


I've listened to some awesome music recently! If you're interested, go to Jessie's blog and look up the albums, or watch these videos:
Vampire Weekend- Oxford Comma (I actually haven't watched this video yet, so I don't know if it's good. The song's great.)

Camille- Au Port (Deal with the non-Englishness of it, please, I did. And I care about lyrics.)


Vampire Weekend- I Stand Corrected (AMAZING. To use the Darren Criss Invented By Lindsey Term, eargasm. Do you hear that background with the foreground with the vocals? Gorgeous.)

Belle and Sebastian- Dress Up In You (I've talked about this song a lot, I believe it introduced me to indie pop. So it was pretty important. This is a live version, but the nice thing about real bands is that this sounds the same.)

Freelance Whales- Broken Horse (Did I tell you about my musical circle. No? Well, okay: So I was listening to, like, Belle and Sebastian, and then Starship came out and obviously I didn't listen to anything else for the following week. Then I got back to just Starkid in general, and Darren Criss, and older music from Darren Criss, and I Still Think, and Little White Lie, and Chuck Criss, his brother, who's in FREELANCE WHALES (see where this is going?) and then I was back at indie pop. Happily. I like this song. The kind of quietness of it.)

Joanna Newson- The Sprout and the Bean (I'm really confused about this one. I don't know whether or not I enjoy the voice or not. It grows on you. But. I don't know. In Peach Plum Pear it's insane. On Wikipedia (I'm addicted to stalking people, I swear, it's true.) it says that she doesn't like her voice being compared to a child's but I think that is the closest comparison.)

Camille again- Ta Douleur (I still don't understand french, deadgoddammit. But this is seriously interesting. It's pretty impressive. Only three people. Like, beatboxing. But like, not. Like I said, interesting.)


And that's actually been my view on music recently. Interesting. I want something that kind of like, surprises me. Like in fashion, you know, what was once ridiculous actually kind of grows on you and gets better. That's the great thing about Indie. It's not what you really expect, and it's still such a BROAD catergory.

Anyway. Listen to some of the songs, probably especially the I Stand Corrected and the first Camille one, but JESSIE you listen to the Freelance Whales one. Enjoy.

Also, Grassroots schedule came out. I'm not missing Thousands of One, but I am missing Locos Por Juana.

Because of all of my new experience in music, I think I'll appreciate it much more this year, musically. Looking forward to that. Have you noticed that I often just leave the subject out of my sentences? It's kind of odd. I do it a lot. Just forget the I. AH! I did it again! Right there, while talking about it! That's so embarrassing, god. Wow.

Again. Listen. Enjoy (optional.) But yeah. Also, don't call me out on my oddness and how I manage to talk about Glee, Darren Criss, Starkid, Gays, Stalking, Indie Pop, and Grassroots all in the same post and not get into arguements with myself. One of the things that is great about people is that we are more than one thing. I like indie pop and hippie dance festivals YAY. I also like Glee, and appreciate the appearance voice of Darren Criss, Joe Walker, and Brian Rosenthal. It's me. Very me, actually, to do both. I do that all of the time. I have an issue with choosing.

Wow, a lot of videos today. I don't think I've ever really put videos up. And a lot of words. READ. WATCH. Or not, whatever. Remember that poem? That I wrote? It's not about the staring? It's in the sidebar. This isn't for you, I think, no worries.

Isn't this a GREAT idea? (sarcasm)

Sorry I haven't posted anything in forever, not much to say, really, I haven't had time. Currently listening to The Dead Milkmen (Hi, Jacob. They're pretty cool.) and editing for website on Photoshop. However, I had to look up something from a song on Urban Dictionary and saw a Snorg Tees commercial, and I got distracted. So. I found this shirt:    

Don't Touch My Junk

I am of the opinion that everyone in TSA should get this shirt and wear it to Nationals. Would that not be amazing? Hahahah. Well, it would be funny. It's even in our colors, sorta. 

Bye. Back to Photoshop. Just wanted to say SOMETHING here.

Oh My Dead God cont.

So this is the comment I posted on Adri's blog. It was very long, I'm sorry, but I did realize it and shut up. Eventually. Read her post as well so you know what im talking about. my favorite quotes that I remember are gonna be at the bottom.

Oh my dead adri I hate you I was going to have this exact same post.

WASNT IT FREAKING AMAZING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I kinda liked how it wasn't just a total joke, I mean, it was a little disapounting at first but its just fantastic. The music rules. I bought the album already, you know it's number FIVE on iTunes? FIVE!!!! go starkid!

And it is that girl from MAMD. I think so, anyway. And the robot, you know, MEGAGIRL, LOVE, was a Hot Girl from Tanyas hot girls in little white lie.

It was amazing. Starkid is great. Makes me wanna move to Chicago.

Okay, so it's also amazing how hot all of the guys got. Joe Moses!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! And Joey Richter, oh my freaking deadgod (officially need to say that from now on, remember.) he can SING and he's GORGEOUS. and Joe Walker, which we knew already, but he's not a girl/a man in a bromance/ an actual, physical, dick so it's totally INSANE. I dont think they should kiss though, he seemed too old. They should NOT have put that grey in his hair!

I love Tootsie Noodles. Where I come from, your first name is what you do, and my second name is what you like. Tootsie Megagirl. AWWWWWW.

I think this musical should be on broadway. Not enough songs though, I agree. There like, wasn't even a finale. On the cd. There's like 10 songs.


JUNIOR IS THE SEXIEST MAN EVER I LOVE BRIAN HOLDEN HE AND DYLAN SAUNDERS WERE THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE SHOW. and Joe walker and Lauren Lopez, her part should have had more significance. This is the longest comment ever and I will continue it on my own blog. Sorry. Hahahaha. I love that you loved it. Are you gonna be at school tomorrow?

-comment ends here-

So i would just like to say that I actually watched AVPM again also, actually the night before Starship, and I didn't know. Weird, huh? But anyway, I'd like to say some quotes from that too. Maybe just a few, because this should be about starship.

"but I heard that you were--"
"...destroyed...? ....yeah."

"I'm going to show you what you have to do. Watch- very- carefully-" *dies*

"CRUCIO!"
"Ah hah... Eh... Ow!"

"What the f-- are you on about?!"

"DIE..., bitch."

"Harry, have you ever heard of a love shield?"
"Um, no, but it sounds kinda fruity..."

Okay I'll stop now. Now back to starship.

Quotes:

A lot of them Lindsey and Adri have already said on buzz/blogger so I won't say ALL of them.
My favorite running quote is the dead god one, and so I guess I have to somewhat explain the context. God is dead, science killed him. This play takes place in the future. Explained. There.

pretty much anything that comes out of Lauren Lopez's mouth. Adri, I approve of your fanclub. SOMEBODY HELP ME FIND THIS MOVIE THAT SHE WAS IN! it was called passenger seat or something and it was about how she and her friend how on a road trip with the dead body of their other friend and. I. Need. To. See. It.

"We've got a saying from where I come from too, bug. God save the queen. Lucky for ms, god is dead.

"And Junior just wanted me for my body. Not my MIND."

Damn that GLEE, they're always making hideous abominations of everything!

Somebody really f-firetrucked up!

By the way, that's AJ Holmes, who was the heart in MAMD and played piano and wrote some of the AVPM/S music.(quotes are over told you I don't know much yet). He's not new. However there's nothing wrong with being new. Roach is amazing oh my freaking dead god. amazing. I think he's the only new one though now that I think about it. February was SO Tiff. Totally. And Megagirl was that one girl in The Hot Girls in Little White Lie, a prestarkid production but I dont care. She's not really NEW NEW.

I guess the problem was there was no Bonnie or Devin or BRIAN ROSENTHAL or Britney or Sango or Darren. Sigh. Still maintaining that he should quit glee and go back to starkid and do AVPT (A Very Potter THREEQUEL, it will exist, watch an interview.)

Also, Joe Walker and Lauren Lopez should have done more. Them and Junior and Dylan were the best part if the show. But I'll deal. Can't wait for another musical from the amazing starkid productions. It is their job now, I mean, it's an actual theater company. Like r2p, except for super mega foxy awesome hot wizard geniuses from outer-space. word. Never say word, only sarcastically, agreed? Agreed.

Okay everybody, go and see Starship, and go and see MAMD, and if you're really that far behind you should see AVPM/S,( and also go and find the movie Passenger Seat with Lauren Lopez.) The music is great, the acting is great, the sets and props and costumes and puppets are deadgoddamned (see how I worked that in there) amazing and everyone just rules in general.

Happy ELA's tomorrow, by the way. Just saying.

Also I'm really sorry for the typos I was too excited to talk fast to watch what I was writing. I'm on my iPod. And it wasnt fast enough, because I didn't even say everything. Whatever. I'll get over it. Haha.

You always wanted one...

(the title is a reference to possibly the best diss I've ever made in my life. EVER.)

If you haven't seen Starship yet you are officially behind, because my world was just blown apart. Oh my deadgod, Joey Richter can SING now and god he's soooo hot and Joe Walker wears too much clothing but whatever. Robots. Bugs. PUPPETS.

Ahhhhh life=complete. Totally.

It wasn't really a total, like, jokey, musical. Kind of disappointed in that, but it was SO GOOD. It was weird how everyone knew their lines an they weren't just improvising. But oh my god, it was insane.

Damn that G.L.E.E! They're always making twisted abominations of everything,
(It's funny because one of the writers, you may have heard me talk about him before, Darren Criss, is ON Glee.)

This emotion [love] was downloaded from the interweb and could have viruses, are you sure you want to open it?

Deadgodspeed!

They have a saying where I come from too. God save the queen. Lucky for me, god is dead.

(you see, science killed him.)

(the reason I'm posting this on buzz and blogger is because I want everyone to see this musical. Now.)

I just wish that Lauren and Joe Walker (and Moses, actually) had bigger parts. Also, Bonnie (Hermione) and Devin (Cho) and BRIAN ROSENTHAL (Quirell) weren't in it and it was depressing, but there was some new people too. And people from MAMD and Little White Lie that I didn't recognize at first. For instance, Megagirl was one of Lauren's hot girls in Little White Lie and February was Tiff in MAMD.


Maybe a longer debrief on Starship and events relating to the title later, but now I'm too tired to talk about things like that and my hippie skirt YES and how freaking amazing Darren Criss is even when not onstage. Well I'm never too tired to talk about how perfect Starkid is, but I'll go to sleep anyway. See you tomorrow.
