one more miracle

I love this song ridiculous amounts now that William said he thinks of Gabe when he sings it. Is that pathetic? Whatever. So many hearts, boys.

Speaking of, I desperately wanted a copy of that interview (Gabe and William on the red carpet at the VMAs) to keep but no one had uploaded it! Then I found it was on Youtube, and Bec pointed me to a site that rips Youtube videos, and I HAS IT. YAYE. So I have uploaded it for all you lovely folks. Feel free to reupload, link on your journals, whatever. Spread the love! (It's not the greatest quality though, sorry :()

One half of us is dope, the other half is BROKE. (.mp4, 4.5 MB)

Ireland update! (It feels weird to be keeping a mostly non-fannish journal, but you're all reading and commenting, actually MORE than when it's fannish, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside ♥) So today was orientation, which was mildly interesting. We had a presentation about cultural adjustment, and I learned that the Irish are a quirky bunch. For example, when they say "no" they often don't mean it - you're supposed to engage in about 3 or 4 back and forths of "are you sure?" "no no that's quite alright" "really? because it would be fun!" "no no, really" ETC ETC. before the person saying no (but not actually meaning it!) caves and agrees. And if you take a no literally, they'll think you're weird. I DON'T KNOW. Odd lot, these Irish. There were a bunch of funny little cultural things like that. I hope I don't accidentally embarrass myself or insult someone!

One thing that was hilarious that we were warned that Irish boys are "more sexually aggressive" - I just sat there laughing to myself.

Speaking of Simon! I just texted with him a bit, and he said he'd love to take me on a date when he comes up, and spoil me rotten, and eee. So excited, guys.

At the lunch during orientation, me, Kate and Katelyn met a random girl who sat with us (good for her, I say!) whose name is Carolyn, and she's from Wisconsin. She was really sweet and Katelyn and I ended up hanging out with her more later. That was a really nice part of the day :)

The other exciting part of today was that I BOUGHT LIFE ON THE MURDER SCENE! :D:D:D Katelyn and I wandered into a record store that was having a sale, and I was just poking through the FOB, Panic!, MCR sections (as you do...) and I picked up this thing that I thought was Three Cheers, but it was kind of big, then I looked at the title and was like EEEEEE. It was 25 Euro, which isn't horrible (about $36) and I flailed at Katelyn and immediately bought it. It's so pretttty! YAY.

I have the apartment to myself right now, which is really, really nice. Kate, Megan, and Zach went to see a speaker at Trinity, the guitarist of the Smiths (I know, I know, I really should have gone, but you have to be a member of a society and the table for the society closed down and I was really really tired anyway), while Katelyn went out to dinner with some of the other Butler girls, so I'm just chillin here listening to TAI and texting with Simon and it's really relaxing. I love and need my alone time.

Teevee! I have watched the premieres of Heroes and SGA. Enjoyed both, especially SGA. Am most intrigued by the leaked SGA episode, it sounds fantaaastic, and I can't wait for it to air. I have downloaded Heroes 2x02 and will most likely watch it tonight. Yay teevee!
