Perfection.

A Week Away, Yet Already Here

Take Me Home

-One Direction-

I have been looking forward to this album for... well, since their first album came out.
And it's here!

Well... not officially.

But I can listen to it.

And I have been listening to it.

And you should too.

And that's all that matters.

~~~

Thank goodness for iTunes and it's free streaming previews of entire albums.  I don't know what I would do without it.  (Actually I do know... I would wait another week and then buy the album.  But I prefer the listen for free before buying it way.)

Now THAT is Talent

I've heard the song before (duh), but I never realized how difficult it is OR how amazing her voice is until I heard it acoustic.  WOW.

Today Will Be Better

So, I didn't specifically wait until midnight to watch this... but I did!  And so it was a great start to my Friday. :)  I'm really hoping today is better than yesterday.  By bushels and bushels.

Doctor Who

So, I may or may not have recently fallen in love with Doctor Who.

Why is British TV just so much better than American TV?!

Because Sherlock, also.

I have watched the first 2005 season of Doctor Who, and am a few episodes into the second season.

But I am also watching the VERY first season of Doctor Who... from 1963.

It's hilariously old.

But definitely worth your time.

Check it out.

I'm in shock, look I've got a blanket.

Sherlock is so great.

No joke.

WATCH IT.

It's a British Sherlock Holmes series.

And it is perfect.

I just wish there were more than six episodes.

If you have Netflix, you can watch the first season (three, one and a half hour episodes) instantly online.  And I highly suggest that you do.

British Music Loves ♥

(Other than One Direction, of course.)

These aren't necessarily my favorite songs by them.

They are just my favorite music videos.

Look up other songs.

They're are all so great.

And each artist is so unique.

Cher Lloyd

Olly Murs

Ed Sheeran

Another 1D Parody

They're salmon!

Happy Birthday One Direction!

Two years ago today.

At 8:22 PM.

One Direction was formed.

You may think... so what?  That doesn't affect your life that much.

But it really does.

I love them.

I love their music.

Fangirling over them has definitely changed my life.

Yeah, maybe for the worst.

But whatever.

I love them!

They inspire me. :)

My dreams are bigger.

And I feel like they are reachable too!

Happy birthday!

What better way to celebrate their birthday than to listen to their first song over and over and over again?
And sing it at the top of my lungs all over my house.

And when What Makes You Beautiful comes on the radio I have absolutely no choice but to turn it up all the way (which is loud in my car), roll down the windows, sing at the top of my lungs, and ignore the complaints of my eight year-old sister in the back seat.

I love my boys.

My creys. :'(

I'm so proud of them!

♥

Remember...

...When I posted about SoundCloud and was upset about how I couldn't post sound clips onto Facebook or Blogger?  Well... I can.  I just hadn't figured it out yet!  But here you go! :D

This is one of my favorite audio discoveries of SoundCloud. :)

A 1D Post

Fangirling.  Over One Direction.  A lot.  So sorry.  And here's a long 1D rant/happy-not-ranting post. :)

But yeah.  So... last night Liam was going to do another Twitcam.  And I was like WHAT?!?!?  It was so exciting!  I've never been on the computer during his Twitcams before!  #EXCITEMENT!  But... (as Liam would say) "Twitch" wasn't working.  :(  So I didn't even get to watch it anyway. :( :(  Poo.  But sweet Liam decided to go on a Twitter following spree to make up for it!  :D  But of course, just going down his  followers list he only followed his most recent followers.  Which doesn't include me. :(  But I don't mind because he is just the sweetest guy. :)

And also... I BOUGHT THE 1D BOOK!!!! :D :D  Dare to Dream  I love it.  It's so perf!  While reading it I feel like all the boys are by best friends.  Which actually kinda makes me sad because I realize that they aren't. :(  But it's still super great.

Oh!  And when I bought the book at Target I was skimming through 1D related magazines... and I saw the cover of one that had this picture... so I had to criticize it.  Please don't judge me for judging the stupid magazine.

In another 1D magazine (or it may have been the same one... I wasn't paying close enough attention) it said that Zayn had the best butt.  Now, I'm not saying that there is anything WRONG with Zayn's butt.. but (heh, I said butt but) Louis butt is DEFINITELY the best.  No discussion.  And it said Niall had the best eyes.  I agree that Niall's eyes are insanely gorgeous.

...But I prefer Harry's.  And I think quite a few Directioners agree.

I mean. Seriously.  They're a mixture of green, gray, and gorgeous.

But honestly Niall's eyes are incredible as well.  I just can't choose between the two.

Nevermind magazine.  I'm sorry for getting angry at you.  It must have been difficult to choose between two such flawless creatures.

Oh.  And I'm angry at 1D's management.  For releasing their Tumblr.  Now everyone knows about the directioners of Tumblr.  No.  It was our secret!  Ughh.  Now all the little Facebookers are gonna come and have no idea what's going on.  *Tsk tsk tsk*

 I wish I could meet them.  Just once.  So badly.  My goal is to meet them someday.  No matter what it takes.  I will.  ...I hope. :/

A song that WAS my favorite.

Don't you just love the moment when your favorite song that was known to only you begins to be played on the radio, and then becomes overplayed, and then everyone knows it an sings it repeatedly?

Yeah.  I hate it.

And that's what happened to me with "What Makes You Beautiful."  I still like the song... just not nearly as much.  But I really enjoy "Your Maths Skills are Terrible."

I also like this parody a lot.  It's kinda inappropriate...
But I like it anyway because it's so accurate and hilarious!  :D

A Mixture of Anger and Pride

My boys! :'(

One Direction are my love.

(See what I did there? ;) Notice how even though it's a collective noun

I acted like it was plural and said "are"? Well... that's what the Brits do.

And I'm a wanna be Brit.  So that's how I do it now.)

They were mine.  And all mine.  And only mine.  I knew about them back in October! (All my Tumblr Directioner friends are the only people I wanted to share them with.)

But then... THIS SONG became popular.  I love it... but not when everyone ELSE loves it too!

I dislike sharing.

Now there are a bunch of stupid lame Directionators who think they are true fans.  That don't even know their names.  Or how to spell or pronounce them.  Or they don't know the importance of

-Turtles

-Spoons

-Nandos

-VASHAPPNIN'

-Larry Stylinson

-Paul

-Kevin

-"NO! Jimmy protested."

-Giant Baby Grows

...or many other things that only TRUE One Direction fans would understand.

I'm obviously quite possessive of them.

As Louis would say... "[THEY'RE] MINE!"

(Except he would have said "she's" (in reference to Mary, of course) in place of "they're".

They are my boys.  Back off you wannabes.

~~~

Okay, my rant is over.

Now I just want to show my love and pride.

I am so proud that they are finally being recognized for how great they are.

CONGRATULATIONS! :D

Not Quite a Directioner.

So... You may or may not have heard of this band.  They're called One Direction.  I have known about them for months.  They are a British boy band of teenage heart-throbs.  I love them.  I will marry every single one of them.  They sing like angels.
