The Paramore Situation

As you all should know, Paramore are my favourite band and are incredibly important to me, not just musically but also as role models - Especially Hayley - She is my idol and I can't stress enough how important this blog post is for me.

I love them so much =3

I heard my first Paramore song back in mid-2008, that song was "Hallelujah" (and is to date, my favourite Paramore song). I was instantly hooked, that was also the year that Twilight came out, I saw the movie and instantly picked out Hayley Williams' voice and Josh Farro shredding guitar - don't say that Twilight is the reason I am a fan, because IT IS NOT. Twilight simply fuelled my love for them. Now, up until about September 2009, I wasn't really a massive fan; I mean, I liked them and listened to them on a regular basis but I wasn't a full on parawhore yet. Then, Brand New Eyes and Ignorance were released and I fell head over heels in love - Literally, In Love. I felt like I knew them, like I could relate to their songs and like I belonged in their fandom. I admired Hayley, I would also say I fell in love with her too - She is different, talented and quirky.
As you all know, This year was the first opportunity I got to see them live, I got tickets on the day they were released (9:02am exactly. They were released at 9:00am :P) and I was stoked to see them. That evening I was on Formspring, when a question popped up saying "Why do you like Paramore if you hate Christians". Now, It is a well known fact that the members of Paramore are all religious and also is a known fact that I really am not, I responded to this saying that I didn't hate Christians, I just happened to not be one myself. This went on all evening (I know exactly who this was by the way, They were just jealous that I got tickets and they didn't), I wasn't going to give up defending my right to be a fan and listen to their music, and wasn't going to stop defending their music - I know that some of their songs have a religious message, and I know that, I listen to them anyway because I remember reading a quote a while back from Josh Farro saying "Our faith is very important to us. It's obviously going to come out in our music because if someone believes something, then their world view is going to come out in anything they do. But we're not out here to preach to kids, we're out here because we love music". The fact that I was still getting abuse from this individual on the matter a few days later led me to delete my formspring account and I NEVER disable accounts on websites due to abuse. I think this shows how dedicated I am to the band.
So I went to see them with two of my closest friends about a month ago at the O2 arena and I can honestly say it was the best night of my life, I laughed, nearly passed out on several occasions and sang along with nothing but love and devotion towards the five people on stage. This turned on my obsession, ever since everything I do, say, tweet and update about has been Paramore. Hayley Williams - I can't even begin to say how much of an inspiration and a role model she is to me, I literally would probably go suicidal if she were to die - THAT is how much I love her! (creepy maybe, but her voice is amazing and she seems like a lovely girl in general and she knows how much of a role model she is to young women across the globe), And this isn't because she "leads" the band because she doesn't! I would also like to add that I have a full on crush on Taylor York ('cus that's important).
Then on Saturday, I had just finished watching Harry Potter DH1 (You'll be getting a blog like this about Harry Potter in July, Don't you worry XD) with my cousin when I got a text from Chris (who I went to Paramore with) saying:" Josh and Zac have left Paramore!! :(" I responded with: "WTF?!!"
Now I'm not going to say that I didn't see this coming, because I somehow had a feeling something was going to happen. Especially when I heard that they were taking a year off. but it hurt. A LOT. I mean, It was like having your family split up (I have no actual experience of this at all so yeah, but thats the nearest thing I have ever had)
I read Hayley's announcement and kinda took it like "oh, that's cool. I guess there's nothing I can do" and left it at that. I was really rather sad and depressed but there was nothing I could do.
Then, this evening I read a blogspot post from "Josh and Zac". It explained the real reason why they left and how bad things were in the band. I really wasn't sure what to believe, whether it was legit or not. But about 2 hours ago, Jill Striffler posted a video from Josh himself explaining that the blog was from them.
I was shell shocked, like seriously. I was hurt, upset, confused. It felt like I was watching my best friends argue and there was nothing I could do to save the friendship. I still am not quite sure how I felt about the situation.
However, I do want to say one thing that immediately came to mind. If Josh and Zac were so unhappy with everything - Then why didn't they back out when they could. That's all I'm saying. I also think that Hayley should have approached the "official announcement" in a different way.
Other than that, I am staying completely unbiased in this situation. I don't want to... I don't even know. I just can't write it.
I just want to say that I will NEVER stop supporting Paramore, OR stop looking up to Hayley. They will ALWAYS be my favourite band and I still listen to their music with pride.
I support Josh and Zac and look forward to what they do next, who knows, maybe they will form a band. Or maybe Josh and Jenna will have kids. I also look forward to what the three of them (Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor) produce because I know they are working on a new album next and I know they will continue to give us beautiful music

My exact feelings at the moment <3

Keep rocking and don't loose your faith

<3

Remember when I said new blog every friday? About that...

Hey :)

Hope you all liked my little rick roll down there... sure gave me a thrill *is an internet geek*
right, things that have happened... Oh yes!

Best Paramore picture in history no?

On November 23th I saw Paramore, fucking hell... Best gig in the history of gigs, and that is no means exaggerating. I went with 2 of my best mates and they enjoyed it too XD, I was dead the next day and as is tradition I had to buy a t-shirt :). We got into the 02 and managed to see B.o.B (who was surprisingly good) and we knew that there were two support bands (No idea what happened to the first, we kinda concluded that they were playing WITH B.o.B) and so after B.o.B we thought, Oh, there's one more support band - we've got time to go get a hot dog and judge them. So the lights went down, Both Chris and Frankie had bought hot dogs and Frankie had a water bottle (which had no cap because apparantly we're gonna throw stuff at Hayley Williams, I would never throw anything other than myself at her... lol, and you probably think I'm kidding). So yeah, we were sitting there and the lights went down, the music started and we were like "oh, they aren't too bad" Then 4 spotlights went onto the curtain and we were like HOLY SHIT, THATS PARAMORE! So Frankie and Chris had to literally down the hotdogs and Frankie had to try and drink a bottle of water in a few seconds before I nearly collapsed of being starstruck (again, you probably think I'm kidding, Hayley came out for Airplanes and I nearly had a seizure)


In other news, I failed NaNoWriMo *high five* XD I got to 20,000 words though. Better than no words at all.

*fangirlsqueeeel*

Also... I SAW DEATHLY HALLOWS :) *spoiler alert!*
Personally I thought it was the best movie so far (apart from Goblet of Fire obviously) I mean, it was amazing!
I loved the beginning when they were all getting ready for the war and they showed Hermione obliviating her parents (they could have used the same actors from COS but that's me just being picky XD) and was I the only one who preferred Hedwigs death in the movie than the book? Far more heroic in my opinion lol. The thing about David Yates... He doesn't include stuff in previous movies, then in the next movie, he acts like he did - This frustrates me deeply, Like the wedding, Oh my god it was like "theres a wedding?". Seriously, I could feel half the people around me who haven't read the book going, holy shit... We've only just been introduced to Bill, And he's getting married?
Now, the Harry-Hermione dance scene... I LOVED IT! That's all I'm saying, it was funny and lovingly awkward.
Godrics Hollow, HOLY SHIT! It was so damn scary! although, when Harry/Hermione says "I told you we should have used polyjuice potion" I had to blurt out "That's because in the book... You did!". Bathilda Bagshot was absolutely spot on! It was brilliant! So scary and if theres one thing David Yates is FANTASTIC at, it is creating tension, You know that the snake is going to jump out, but you don't know when.
The Silver Doe is arguably one of my favourite Chapters in Harry Potter so I was interested to see how it would pan out, and I was not at all disappointed. It was absolutely spot on and exactly how I imagined it happening - I must say, when Ron was confronted by the horcurx, I pictured it to look a little more... Angelic if you know what I mean, But it was still more or less spot on. I thought that Harry and Hermione making out naked kind of added to the jealousy so I had no problem with it... Aparantly Rupert Grint had to watch it being filmed and couldn't stop laughing.
Dobby's death, Most sad part of any Harry Potter film... Ever! I nearly cried (call me cold hearted but I can't cry at films, trust.) and that means, it was sad - Even though he did look like ET when he got buried... right?
Anyway, It was a great film and yeah... It was good XD


Gonna round this off now.
Peace <3

NaNoWriMo :D

Hey! So i've decided to give NaNoWriMo a whirl this year. So far i'm nearing 5,000 words on day 3. Not bad?

I'm gonna be putting an excerpt on here later BUT
It contains "Sexual" content and a lot of swearing so yeah :)

I've warned you ♥

Another Post? Within the week? It cannot be?!

HEY

Yes, I am being frequent at the moment *high five*. I'm thinking new post every friday?

Anyway, like the new banner up dere? I personally love it but that's just me =D. Saturday consisted of nothing (unless I can actually remember what did happen that day, but I can't... So nothing did =D) Went down town on Sunday, such a laugh. Waited about an hour for a cooked breakfast just 'cus we had nothing else to do.

I was so ill on Wednesday. I felt awful. I had a headache, sore throat. You know when you just feel so ill that you can't really clarify what is exactly wrong... yeah, that's what it was like. Oddly enough I was fine the next day. I stayed off school anyway.

Today consisted of my German speaking exam and getting my 6th form application form/prospectus *ooooh, scary*.


Song of the week: Boxcar Blood - Alan Lastufka and Luke Conard.
Youtuber of the week: Beenerkeekee19952 (seriously, I love him XD)

Talk to you next week *work experience, yay!*

<3

Better late than never :)

Hey!

So I'm back, that's right :) I'm not dead and I have not given up on whoever reads this blog (EVIE!)
School started about a month ago, being Year 11 now we were all greeted with the same lecture of "This is the most important year of you life... you shall die if you get a D in anything" etc etc... which of course is not true because as long as you have at least 5 A*-C grades you can do A-levels.

Which moves me onto my modular exam results. I can tell you now (I just spelt that as "know" FML.) that I didn't achieve a single A* or A. I did get a B in biology however which was a pleasant surprise, as well as a B in Music (which was astonishing considering the whole exam contained everything we HADN'T studied but I'm not complaining). I got a C in Chemistry (which is a fucking miracle to be honest with you. I have never been more glad to get rid of a teacher in my life) and a C in History (thanks to a lot of cramming the night before). Here come the Ds... Yes, ladies and gentlemen... I got 3 Ds - however, two of those were in Philosophy and Ethics which have no reason what so ever, So in my head, I got 1 D (in physics but I hate physics sooo ya XD).

Last Saturday I got the cartilage of my ear pierced. Looks awesome but kills like a bitch. I really can't be bothered to post a picture, that involves effort.

I have my work experience the week after next which should be interessant (did I spell that right? Eve?!). My mum's colleague's friend's graphics company. Not too sure how it'll pan out but I have been reassured that it won't just be photocopying and coffee runs.

Who is this Eve character you are asking... well, she is my number one blog fan... and also one of my closest friends, who I have already dedicated a post to but I can dedicate this to her also :P

I don't mean to brag... but... I AM SEEING PARAMORE NEXT MONTH!!! YAY!! Seriously, you have NO idea how much I have been looking forward to this. Aaaah, gonna be so good. Hayley Williams is just a GODDESS!

I finally got around to ordering Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska. All I can say is... OH MY GOD. I don't think I have loved 2 books more (apart 7 rather spiffing books in particular... you know what I mean :)). Looking for Alaska just had so much action and the most tragically beautiful ending you could ask for. What I will say is that I found that Margo and Alaska were rather similar characters, both strong willed that just want to be noticed. I won't talk about it too much simply 'cus Eve is still reading Looking for Alaska.

Oh, I started doing videos :D (well, one) here so if you want to check my channel out then you can.

I think that that is about it for now

*high five for my longest post yet*

Keep reading, Keep Rocking and I will talk to you soon

Fullfilling Evie's wishes

Hello

Well, this will be a fun blog... I have nothing to talk about. OH, actually, i do.
So if there are loads of you out there (there are not) then i need you ALL to comment on this video - i need as many ideas as possible :D

So thanks for commenting - i assume you already have :D (if you haven't, get out.)
anyway, I went to t4 on the beach and it was AMAZIN, if you follow me on twitter (follow me GODDAMMIT) then you will have seen the amazing up close picture of Irwin from the Hoosiers (well, its not that up close but its pretty damn close) and i met some amazing new friends who i wont name for privacy reasons :D, oh and i had a blokes trilby hat from Next (cus they don't do women's) and we were waiting for Example to come on and there were 2 blokes behind me with the same hat - how embarrassing!
I wish i could have gone to vidcon, it looked so amazingly aweesome! oh well, maybe in a few years time.
OH YAH, DofE, i hate the Duke of Edinburgh - i have about 9 bites on my legs, one is bigger than a 2 pound coin (for any americans, may i suggest google images for that reference) and i waded through a huge enclosure(?) with nettles about the same size as me, and a few the same height as my 6 ft friend - that was NOT fun and my legs are still stingy.
Went to the Doctors yesterday (my ears are blocked, not nice. my right ear kills) and the nurse got this odd vibrating/squirting contraption (Oo-er) that was supposed to get rid of excess wax? anyway, she stuck this thing in my ear - made it hurt even more than it already did and then blocked the one that wasn't blocked (I'm more or less deaf At the moment). oh and THEN, she asked me if i was interested in a free chlamydia test? LMAO!!
So this has gone from having nothing to talk about to having everything to talk about, haha. I'll stop now

(dedicated to Evie Snookumz)

School and Somerset

Hey :)

School started again yesterday (tuesday) and it was crap... i had detention, and she didn't even have the decency to tell me why, not amused. And on friday until monday i went to somerset with le famille (i dropped french, so don't punish me if it is wrong :D)
Somerset really is old lady central.. Seriously; old ladies everywhere, i mean, we were on the west somerset steam railway (yes, it is as fun as it sounds.) and we had this old bat, seriously, i hated this woman and we had to sit across from her for an hour and a half. She sounded like the Catherine Tate nan, honestly. So this woman was with her daughter (i assumed, they looked related) and her son-in-law; he got up to get them some sandwiches and asked what they wanted, she said "OOH, get me anything, as long as it don't 'ave onion, i can't stand the stuff. Honestly, i don't mind boiled onion, ooh no, but any other type of onion... eurgh". So this poor bloke went and got them some food and when he came back about 15 mins later, the woman was pointing at the menu card that was on each table and said "Ooh, say we're going up are we? we're going up?" (We were going to minehead and minehead was at the top of the map) and her son-in-law said "well, technically we're going down hill from this point onwards, but we are going up in the sense of going north, if you like" she responded "so, we are going up? like, going up?"... i think he gave up :L

I'm not sure who reads my Blog but those of you who do, thank you :)
I hope my "new youtube layout" entry was good also.
If you havn't checked out me and my friends' new youtube channel yet, then it is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/SweetcornMassacre
Have a good week!
Byee! xxx

New Look :)

Hey!
SO i decided to change the layout of my blog, the old one was a bit.... well... eh. It was very scattered.
i like it, but it also means i'mma have to go down through all the youtube vids i have put on here and re post them to fit,
Buuut i'm extremely tired so nighty night

Giving up on BEDA :P and YOUTUBE LAYOUT

I have decided to leave BEDA, i heard that VEDA has been moved to August, so i will probably do it then, as i have the whole of August to myself.

OK, so if any of you go on to youtube regularly then you will know that the video page layout has changed. If you want to voice your opinion to Youtube about the redesign then go here: https://survey.googleratings.com/wix/p4095212.aspx
Harrassing Youtubers won't do anything, but that could. (i havn't been harrassed, i just find it annoying people commenting on videos sayingg "new layout is shiit" 5 people like this :P)

Wanna read my survey answers, well here they are:
How satisfied are you with new version of the YouTube video page?
Extremely dissatisfied, Moderately dissatisfied, Slightly dissatisfied, Neither satisfied or dissatisfied, Slightly satisfied, Moderately satisfied, Extremely satisfied.
(lol, how can you be "slightly satisfied" :L)

Typically, how often do you use YouTube?
Multiple times per day

What, if anything, did you find frustrating or unappealing about the new YouTube video page? What new features or capabilities would you like to see on the video page?
The comments section is jumbled and not very professional looking, personally i prefered the way that the video description, subscribe button and other users videos were all in one place, its all spread out and confusing now. Most of the "relevant" videos aren't even relevant. I really really dislike the "Like dislike" buttons, the 5 stars system was so much better, this is Youtube, not facebook. surely the thumbs up/down thing is a LOT more degrading than the stars?

What do you like best about the new video page? (this one took a lot of thunking)
the video description being below the video, this way its easier for the people in the videos to indicate to the description.

Did you experience any problems or difficulties with the new video page in the last two weeks?
Yes, Specifically: [Favouriting] (right?)

If you could describe the new version of the YouTube video page in one word, what would it be?
Different

Did you take the guided tour of the new video page?
Yes, i thought it was [biased and unhelpful]


So there are my answers, personally i think the new video page is.. well... horse shit :)
the guided tour:
