1. My first ever bandom was Daft Punk. We don't talk about that.
2. I once jumped into a moving car. 3. I play field hockey. I'm not in games much, but it's still alright. 4. I don't really have a definite music taste. Pretty much, if it has lots of guitar I'm down! 5. I play guitar. 6. I'm part of the Red Guitar Club. 7. The fact that Machoke looks like a man really distresses me for some reason. 8. Like Alli, I can't do soda. Not at all. It makes me want to vomit. 9. Also, I can't do caffeine. I'm already crazy enough, you don't want me running around knocking things over. 10. I know it's kind of gross, but I chew on the inside of my mouth. Like, a lot. Is this bad for me? Hello, 911? 11. Don't talk to me when I'm tired. Alli knows. 12. I'm a lefty. 13. I really don't like elevators. Like, seriously. I can't do that. No thank you. I'll take the stairs. (Even worse? Elevators with terrible cell signal. Shudders.) 14. I love bees. They're adorable and need to be saved. 15. I once listened to London Roundhouse 2014 - Franz Ferdinand in its entirety on a long drive. It made me cry a little. 16. No matter what I do, or how much I wash my face, or what face mask I use, my skin cannot stop breaking out. It's really sensitive. Are tears a good moisturizer? 17. My favorite tv show is The Office. Fact. 18. I once dressed as Jim Halpert for a school project. Double fact. 19. My favorite Internet video of all time has to be Garfielf. Seriously. Play that and I'll never stop laughing. 20. I also quote Garfielf too much. Like, if you're hanging out with me, I'll probably say "I ate those food" around seventeen times. Per minute. 21. When I'm writing something for an article, even if it's Brad and Chad, I often act out or say whatever I'm going to write out loud. 22. I actually tried (and occasionally still do try) being a YouTuber, so saying what I'm going to write out loud helps a lot. 23. Also, often when I'm writing, I'll take random breaks, sometimes even between sentences, and run around my house. Maybe writing just hypes me up a lot? I don't know, man. 24. I cry a lot, and at the dumbest things. 25. I hate brunch with a passion. 26. Yes, I have cried because I hate brunch. Let's move on. 27. I hate hamburgers, but I also hate veggie burgers. 28. Ok, I'm the pickiest eater ever. Just give me plain pasta if you ever need to give me food. 29. When I was 11, I saw a fact on a "real facts" site that said "Disney Land is bigger than the U.K." I know it isn't true, but every couple weeks I remember it. I don't know why. 30. Never leave me alone doing homework and listening to music. You'll witness a full on drum solo. As I'm doing right now to OBLIVIUS - The Strokes. 31. It's pretty much impossible for me to not run up stairs. I'm like Sonic The Hedgehog. Gotta go fast. 32. I have no concept of time in relation to distance whatsoever. 33. I'm terrible at opening things. Bottles? Nope. Jars? Totally not. Doors?? HECK NO. I am horrible at opening things. 34. Especially doors. I don't know why, I'm just terrible at opening doors. 35. I love wearing beanies. 36. I most likely have misophonia, which is a disorder where common sounds (for me it's mostly breathing) bother you to the point of anxiety. 37. I love knee socks, or even better, thigh socks. 38. I also love muscle tees. 39. I absolutely despise onions. 40. I don't really know what I'm going to end up doing with my life, but I hope it's something creative and fun, whatever it is! 41. I love museums and aquariums. I love learning, basically. 42. If I could have any animal as a pet, I'd definitely have an otter!! 43. Interpol is one of my all-time favorite bands. 44. My first concert was actually Taylor Swift, but I don't like to admit it, because I didn't really want to go in the first place. 45. My least favorite school subject is biology, mainly because of dissections. 46. I'm literally the softest person ever when it comes to animals. I can't even kill bugs because I hate hurting animals. I really freakin' love animals. 47. I always like a band's 'emotional' album the best. Right Thoughts Right Words Right Action - Franz Ferdinand, Room On Fire - The Strokes, Too Much Information - Maxïmo Park, and Voyeur - Saint Motel are all evidence. 48. I love long drives, especially on highways at night. Also, if there's some rain and I'm listening to my favorite emotional albums. Heck yes. 49. The first band I ever met was Weezer. Actually, they're the only band I've ever met as of right now, but maybe you're reading this five years later. 50. I have Alex Kapranos's guitar pick from the FFS gig I went to. You know more about me now!! Wow!! Fun!! Anyway, I'm really tired. Goodnight!

In honor of seeing Saint Motel with Alli last month, I decided to review my favorite album by them, Voyeur. Feed Me NowIf I was in a high school movie, and they needed a scene where the main character gets ready in two minutes and leaves for school a complete mess, this would be it. When they played this song at the gig, I cried. I love this song so much, and it's just the sort of Saint Motel that I love! All of the instruments sound excellent together, too! Excellent song. Amazing song. I love it. I love Voyeur. I love Saint Motel. I love Alli for getting me into them, and like everything else. Benny GoodmanAn excellent song. They played this at the gig too. The entire venue was jumpin jumpin jumpin, and we were on the second floor of the place! It was awesome, but also terrifying. Just like A/J Jackson's hair. Again with the instruments all sounding excellent together?! I love Saint Motel. For some reason, the end-ish? of this song almost sounds like Muse to me?? That's cool. Puzzle PiecesI LOVE THIS SONG. OMG. It was maybe the fourth Saint Motel song I ever heard, and the first off Voyeur. There was a guy at the gig who really wanted this song. He fist bumped us when A/J said "say hello to your neighbor." We were his neighbors. He freaked out when this song came out. He was adorable. I miss him. Puzzle Pieces Guy, if you're reading this, this is for you. Daydream/Wetdream/NightmareThis is most likely my favorite Saint Motel song. I love it. I especially love how they switch the vibes a bunch of times in the song. My favorite part is the middle, which I'm guessing is the 'wetdream' part? Anyway, whatever. I like the daydream part too, especially the transition. I'm surprised they didn't play this song at the gig. I love A/J's vocals. A/J? More like Slay/J. The transitions in this song are really excellent, because it all flows together, and it feels like you've listened to one song instead of three, shorter, separate songs while still acknowledging that there were like, shorter songs in it. Nice. 1997This song makes me feel so hopeful about life. I don't know why. It's really pretty. (Um, nevermind about the entire 'hopeful' thing. Thanks Alli. I'm never hearing this song the same again. I thought it was about a guy making friends in 1997. It's not about that.) Honest FeedbackThe harmony in this one is beautiful!! I love the vocals so much. This song's so pretty. Every song on this album is pretty. I'm calm. The guitar thing is really nice too. The lyrics are pretty cool. At Least I Have NothingThe title of this song gives me a Modest Mouse vibe, for some reason. These lyrics are dark. I like the instruments, though. They're beautiful, as usual. A/J could stab me and I wouldn't mind. That is in no way an invitation to do that, A/J, if you're reading this. You Do It WellThis is the most intense Saint Motel song I've heard. Dang. This was on my field hockey hype playlist. The vocals are excellent. IT'S SO INTENSE. OMG. Ok. I'm calm. Never mind, A/J did the thing again. I'm into this. Hands Up RobertI like this. It's nice. I like the guitar. I love how Saint Motel can be both super calm and super intense at the same time. Usually it's one or the other with other bands. That guitar thing just now sounded very Franz Ferdinand and then very Interpol. Whoa. Cool. I'm into this. I like this. Yes. Good. StoriesThe beginning of this song sounds like a Target commercial. I love this song, though. Everything's super nice, and the instrumentals give me a Fratellis vibe. I like when A/J yells. I like the hug it out line too. This is super intense again. Nice. Ok, cool. It's no longer intense. It's still nice and calm. Cool. Balsa Wood BonesTHIS SONG MAKES ME CRY. IM DEAD. JUST LIKE THE PERSON WHO WAS MEAN TO A/J. THAT WAS ONE DARK ENDING. Besides that, it's really pretty! Both the vocals and instrumentals have really cool, calm vibes. I'm into that, if you couldn't tell. I love this song so much. It's so beautiful. I'm into this.
