Get your boys.

[hardparade]

For the past few days, the ONLY music I have been listening to has been...Hanson.

alexi_lupin, I'm sure you'll be happy about this news. :)

My sister is really into them, and I'd heard a few of their newer songs through her but never been that interested I guess. But while I was staying with her, she kept putting them on and it got to the point where I was like, requesting songs, and as soon as I got home I downloaded a ton of stuff. And seriously, it's really good. My Mum will NOT stop making fun of me though, hahaha.

And...it's not just that the music's good. Taylor? Really, really hot. But I knew that already. XD

I could probably ramble on for a bit about how WEIRD it is that they're all older and married with children etc etc considering that sometimes in my head they still look like this, but all I'll do is direct you to this picture as well, to help you get your head around the whole thing.

I've been sort of vaguely in the fandom, reading bits of Zaylor, for quite a while now, but I guess I'm much more interested now. It doesn't really feel like a proper New Fandom or anything, but I have been exploring a bit more these past couple of days. And just so you know, this is like, the best thing ever. WHAT ARE THEY DOING.

Also!! The whole Prince Caspian premiere thing is confirmed! Anna and I have booked the hostel and sorted out our (extremely complicated) train tickets, and everything. It's ended up being waaay more expensive than we anticipated, but that's okay. I'm sure it'll be worth it. EEE, I'm so excited!

Hmm, I thought I had more to update about, but apparently I don't.

To end this entry, I would like to share...Hanson covering Christina Aguilera's 'Dirrty'. No, seriously. It works. And...it's actually kind of hot. TRUST ME.

*hugs* Well, good luck with the rest of them!!

I feel so comforted by the fact that you've been through the same thing, as lame as that sounds!! Because like, I'm SURE I've had something similar to this before, but it's been sooo long, so I'm just not used to it. I did the same burning-a-CD thing, and whenever I've been out of the house I've taken my iPod. My Mum was like "It's only serious when you can't leave the house without listening to them while you're outside" and I was like "...uh oh."

224 songs?!? See, I only have...like, Middle of Nowhere, This Time Around, Underneath and The Walk, random other songs, and a few live ones my sister sent me. I'm going to need to add to this pretty soon though. XD

ALSO while we're on the topic of, you know, actual songs, 'Georgia' = totally about Zaylor, y/y? I was all "yeah, yeah, about their wives, boring, whatever" and then I paid attention to the lyrics, and seriously, it is so about them. TELL ME I'M NOT CRAZY.

I just watched the video again, lol, and I find it hilarious for some reason that Zac is grinning like a mad thing for like, the first half, and Taylor is kind of smiling too, and it doesn't even look like Ike is talking about anything amusing? Like, HE'S not smiling, but they are, which is just like...they're so obviously sharing SOMETHING.

Lolol weirdly I've known about hansonsecrets for a really long time, and head over there every time I need a good cheering up. INSAAANE. But totally hilarious.

AUGASM, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. And I listened again, and yeah, what you said. He totally did that on purpose. And re: icon? DONE.

Lol loooong comment.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I had Psychology today, so that was much better than Biology lol. Only one left, it's the one that everyone does - the GAT (General Achievement Test), which sort of tests how you are across the board, reading comprehension, written expression etc. It's not specific to a subject, so you can't really study for it. =D

LOL I do tend to get obsessive about things, so I wasn't surprised at that side of it, but the fact that it was Hanson was like "Oh, weird. I TOTALLY wasn't expecting that." But you know, I've been obsessed with HP, LOTR, Narnia (one of the few things I'm into that was literally love at first sight, usually I take a while to warm up to stuff), Libera, Celtic Woman...yeah.

My iPod is broken, *sadpanda* so I had to start taking my clunky Discman everywhere. THAT IS COMMITTMENT lol. Dad and my brother Dylan were super patient, lol, because I was totally blasting it ALL THE TIME, they must have got SOOO sick of it.

Oh, I can hook you up! Not right now though, I need to eat and then go back to school (lol I can't seem to stay away, I'm very involved in school stuff - on Thursday I was there for 13 hours) maybe on Saturday? I've got those, plus Middle of Nowhere Acoustic 10th Anniversary, other acoustic stuff, Boomerang, 3CG, Best of Hanson, MMMBop remixes, Fool's Banquet stuff...shitloads, seriously. =D

Would you be referring to this by any chance? OBV I AGREE BUT YOU MIGHT BE CRAZY BUT IT'S OK BECAUSE I AM TOO, YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY.

YESSSS. Mischievous!Zaylor is the best, and when teamed with Oblivious!Ike, it is ALL WIN.

I KNOW!!! Some people take it all so seriously, and others are obviously aware of how ridiculous Hanson fandom really is. =D

I R CLEVER, YES?

EXCELLENT.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Psychology is infinitely better than Biology in my opinion. XD And ah, I see what you mean about the GAT thing, I guess you just have to sort of see how that goes. Good luck anyway. :)

Yeah, same here, I'm the exact same way, so not surprised about the obsession but surprised at...what it's about. XD

Nooo broken iPod! D: Worst thing ever! Discman? That really is commitment. Lol yes I know what you mean about the family patience as well, my parents are having to put up with it all the time.

Yeah! You should send me some stuff some time! Also, I am lol'ing at the idea of MMMBop remixes. XD

OMG THAT VIDEO. I wasn't! I hadn't seen it! I just wondered about the lyrics because of all the 'I won't say you have to choose'/'We both know we could never choose'/'it's only just a little back and forth lately' etc, among other lines. But that videoooo. Oh, it has cemented my belief that they want each other. So thank you for that. It was amazing! So much touching and so many longing looks. ♥

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

Thankaly dankaly!

It broke AAAGES ago, like 2 years or something, I've gotten used to not having one. But I'm getting one for my birthday so YAY!!! LOL we were in the car and I had my CDs with me and they were all Hanson (lol) and Dad's like "Don't you have anything else?" and I'm like "Well, if I had an iPod and an FM transmitter you'd be able to choose from over 3000 songs!" so I mean, it's only positives here. =D

Some of them are a bit crap, hehe. Some are okay, quite boppy, quite cool. =D

LOL it did for me too, I was like "OHEMGEE They LOVE each other!!" They DO touch each other so much! Do you have siblings? I know I don't touch mine that much, but then he's so much older than me (& hasn't lived with us since I was 11) that we're basically like two only siblings. Like we get on, I mean, but we're not really close or affectionate. But OBV they ARE, and it's SOOOO cute. =D

Oh, and it was my cousin's birthday on the 10th. =D He's 18.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Oh right, okay! I thought it was like a recent thing. Yay for getting a new one! :D Hahaha I laughed out loud at that story, your Dad was probably pretty relieved.

I have a sister, yeah, and actually we are really affectionate...like, if we were famous, people would totally have enough reason to write incest fanfiction about us. :/ But at the same time I can compare our relationship to theirs (and other people's) and there's just something different. I think a lot of it is the way they look at each other? Sometimes they have these like, longing expressions, and...yeah, I don't look at my sister like that. XD

Also it's not just the touching it's the context of the touching, and the reactions to it. It doesn't always seem totally casual. *reads too much into it* Sometimes when Zac flings an arm around Taylor or whatever, you can see a sort of hesitation in Taylor's expression, like "is this okay?" which could mean any of like a hundred things. That's what I pick out in pretty much any kind of RPS actually. I HOPE I'M MAKING SENSE.

And, cool, re: your cousin! Mine turns 19 in about a month. He's coming to visit actually, with his sister obv, for a few days before his birthday next month. Eep.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

I feel the pain of the loss every day, lol. =D

I know what you mean, hehehe. The do have an intense way of looking at each other - like at the end of that Georgia video - hot damn!

YESS. I can't remember who it is, but someone had a theory that the reason Taylor & Zac never have their arms around each other in pics is to like, not arouse suspicion, lol. Like, one will have their arm around the other or whatever, but the other won't reciprocate. Only one at a time. Which is weird considering how much they touch each other in general. I wonder what they'd do with their hands if they had no pockets to hide them in. =D

OOOOH. Good luck, sir! Alas, mine is separated by a sea. =( But I might see him at Christmas! Fingers crossed.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Definitely! It's not just a "yeah, I'm listening to what my brother is saying" look, AT ALL.

I'm sooo glad you know what I mean. And yeah I was thinking the don't-arouse-suspicion thing too. Like, it could be that, so when one of them does it the other is kind of like "argh, we shouldn't do this, what if people can tell?!" You can imagine them really thinking it through. XD

I haaate the whole distance thing, even though there's no sea between me and Harry. It's still ages away. Crossing my fingers for Christmas! There should be more like, occasions where people have to see their cousins. >:(

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

It's a "God you've got gorgeous eyes..." look. =D

I always imagine Taylor to be the paranoid one about that. =D

Only their cool cousins, though. Not any annoying ones. =D And I have a lot of cousins, so we'd never get any peace if they're ALL there! I don't think we've ever all been in the same place at once, actually... But cool news is I told Nathan he's my favourite cousin (lol obviously) and he's like "You've always been mine as well." And I was like XDDDDD

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

It is. Especially here:

(http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x245/staticbyindustry/?action=view&current=blueroom8.jpg)

That is such a LOVING expression, srsly. Tay, you need to be more subtle. Except not, because it's more fun this way.

Haha yeah, actually, you're right about the cousins thing. I have a lot of them, too, and it would probably result in like, a nervous breakdown if they all showed up anywhere at once. I'm sure that's happened before when I was younger though.

I smiled at what Nathan said, that is so sweet. :) Gahh last night I had a dream about Harry, I guess because we'd been talking about this (because I haven't actually been thinking about him much lately!) and we were kind of couple-y and it felt really real. I was so sad when I woke up. :(

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and if you ever see interviews of the boys and Tay isn't talking, he often gets this really serious expression on his face, he almost looks angry sometimes. I don't think he is, I think he's just thinking, but in that pic there he's actually smiling slightly, and that's NOT his default expression - he's smiling at Zac. =D

Also, have you seen how they swap clothes hehe. Cuteness. Look at 1:30 of that Georgia vid. =D

Also O RLY, ISAAC?

He said it in an email, and what's cute is he actually sent a separate email just to say that. I guess he forgot to put it in the other one, but then thought it was important enough to say it so he emailed again straight after.

I hate that, waking up and being like "...aw." I hadn't been thinking about Nathan heaps either until his birthday was coming up, actually. This is because I have a huge crush on a boy at school, lol - his name is Josh.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

That's true, he does usually look quite serious when he's being quiet. Aww. <3

They swap clothes?! OMG. *re-watches video* Wait, what, where??

LOLOL NAKED. I was like, what is this video?! because, you know, the title is 'naked - better quality', rofl. I can't believe he said that! I love how Taylor and Zac get all shifty afterwards as well, like, '...yeah, when was the last time we saw each other naked? Hm, last night?'

That is really sweet. <3 He loooves you. :P

I thought I'd be thinking about Harry way more, but I guess I just get used to him not being around and stuff, and it's not like we ended things on a particular good/exciting note, so. Ooh, what's Josh like? I like a Josh too, weirdly, but I barely ever see him...even though he lives across the road and comes to mow our lawns and stuff, haha.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're wearing the same green top. Argh, there were other pics, but I can't find them now on my hard drive, but someone had put them together showing them both wearing the same items of clothing, and you could tell they were the same ones instead of them just buying two because they're be a lot snugger on Zac than on Taylor. =D 1:30 and then look at that picture you posted.

But I love that the way Ike says it makes it sound like he saw them TOGETHER naked, LOL. =D

Well, it's an accomplishment, because we have about 30 cousins, so. And only like 6 are girls. So he's got more than enough guys to kick around with if he wants. =D

Josh is amazing. But of course I would say that. LOL. Some pics Also, a cute story about him and his sister, because OMG the are all awesome. He's eldest of 4, younger brother and then two younger sisters. His whole family is awesome, they are SO nice and I get along really well with all of them.

Huh, what to say...well he plays percussion, and a bit of piano...he thinks he can't sing but he's okay (his brother is a really good singer) but he gets embarrassed if he thinks you're listening to him. He plays basketball all year, he's really smart (he was dux of year 10), funny, he wants to be a philosophy lecturer at a university when he grows up. For his 18th, instead of going out and getting smashed he spent the day sailing with his family. The cutest thing I've ever seen him do was sing Bohemian Rhapsody to his youngest sister, Eliane (elly-ahn) at one of our music things, because it's a long night for an 8-9 year old and she was bored and tired. He was like acting it out and everything, putting on the different voices and he had this huge smile on his face, and if you could've seen her expression - she was absolutely enthralled and you could see so clearly that she absolutely adored him. And then when the song finished they started playing tag and he'd let her catch him and then give her piggyback rides and GUH. I have hardly ever been as attracted to anyone as I was to him in that moment, because oh my god. OHMYGOD. Even shirtless and dripping wet.

Wow, what a ramble. =D So I er...really like him, lol.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, it IS the same top!! I so didn't realise that, haha, good eye. Omggg that is so awesome.

Haha oh yeah! He does! He probably walked in while they were, er, in the middle of something. XD

It's funny like like 6 out of your 30 are girls, for me it's more like 2 out of 25 are boys! It's crazy.

I remember seeing those pics of Josh!! I don't know why I never commented, weird. He's so cute! I love the second one, he has a really great smile. :D

For his 18th, instead of going out and getting smashed he spent the day sailing with his family.
That is SO SWEET OMG. That whole story is just...adorable. I would totally melt. :) He sounds amazing.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

LOL I'm sure Isaac always knocks now. =D

Hehehe cos my Dad's one of 10 - 5 boys, 5 girls, all nice and balanced, and then for some reason it was boys all around!

I love his smile here and this pic is like "OMFG JOSH DO ME NOW PLZKTHX."

OHMYGOD it was SO adorable. LOL last year in Lit his nickname was Darcy because omfg he so is Darcy lol. And he never gets angry - he's not a doormat, but he'll just stay calm, like. Even his mother's like "Everything's just water off a duck's back to Josh - I don't think I've ever seen him actually angry."

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Um. Those pictures? ...*drools* Haha I feel mean because he's like, your crush, but, um, seriously. WOW.

Lol, Darcy. Okay he actually sounds like the most perfect guy ever. Is he single?!

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

LOL don't feel mean - who could resist? totally kissable lips, cute when asleep, and looks FIERCE in a pair of tiny pink shorts? Btw, the shorts were part of a fancy dress thing, he doesn't normally wear them, lol.

He's not perfect, but he's pretty bloody close, lol! He is, amazingly. He had a girlfriend (Jess) in year 9, but he wasn't that into it so she broke it off. Then last year he and Libby were sort of hovering on the edge of going out (she liked him more than he liked her I think, but it did seem like he liked her) but they never did, so we all thought he wanted Jess back (he acted like he did) but they're just really good friends, and she didn't like him back that way. But that was in December, so idk what's going on now. Suffice to say, he is the very opposite of a flirt. Not flippant at all. I think he just likes me as a friend. =( But at least that means I get to hug him and OMG GOOD HUGS, let me tell you! =D

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Awww that one of him sleeping is precious!! And, uh, the shorts? HI. *stares*

I'm really surprised, yeah, I would've thought he would either have a girlfriend or have girls falling all over him all the time. Well, actually, do they? That's the thing, there's a guy kind of like him at my school, who's just like, AMAZING, but everyone has a thing for him so it's made him really cocky and bigheaded and that's just...not attractive. :/

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

Oh God, I saw him running through the rain in nothing but those shorts. It was FANTASTIC.

Hmmm. Not as such. I know they think he's attractive (and no wonder!), but he's not a flirt, and he doesn't drink heaps, (he's a good Christian boy) so he's not really like, putting himself out there for girls to fall all over, y'know? He's a bit quieter. There's other, louder, stupider guys that the girls fall all over, for reasons unknown to me.

LOL he's not at school anymore, but there was this guy at mine called Trent and he was very very good-looking, like perfect bone structure, icy-blue eyes, pale, no pimples, very tall etc. But he was just so stupid, I swear. Nothing going on upstairs. I don't feel bad saying that because he could be quite obnoxious too. And girls loved him. Those of us who knew him (me and my friend went to the same primary school) knew that, but once we moved to high school...all those poor unsuspecting girls...

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

*imagines* Wooooaaah.

And yeah, that's good that he's like, not really up himself or anything. I know what you mean, I always find that such a turn-off but for so many girls it doesn't seem to matter. I mean, I can still be like "HOT!" but I don't actually want to BE with them if they seem like wankers. Or just really dumb, like this Trent guy you're talking about, hahaha.

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

He's confident in his abilities in certain areas, but he's not a show-off, he doesn't feel the need to brag or anything.

But yeah, confident =/= arrogant, but strangely so many people can't distinguish between them. Or don't care.

LOL once we had this sub teacher who was pretty attractive for her age, and the boys were like, trying to impress her and get her attention (which was hilarious - ooo, she's going to be so impressed by rowdy 14-year olds!) and Trent thought he'd be cool and slide across a desk like James Bond slides across the bonnet of his car. Mostly everyone had left by now, it was the end of class, and he goes "Hey - James Bond, James Bond!" and slides across, and then LANDS ON HIS BUTT ON THE FLOOR. It was HILARIOUS, we ran out and cracked up.
