My Top 12...

Bands and artists with high voices!  Whether it's because they're singing falsetta, have a naturally high singing voice, or can just hit notes so high that your ears can bleed, you've gotta admit, it's good to have a break from cookie monster growls once in a while.  And note that I'm not putting any generic pop-punk bands on here, because there are so many of those bands that have singers with high voices that it's really nothing special.  And yes, I had to choose 11, because the number 12 is underrated. (:

12. Michael Jackson.



Believe it or not, MJ was quite the stud back in the dizz-ay.  And you can't help but wonder how he hits some of the high notes in some of his songs.  Even if he is a creepy child mollestor, he can sing!  And don't even bother denying it, no matter how creepy he is...nobody doesn't love his music.  And if they claim not to, they have obviously never heard Beat It. 

11. Anthrax



Or at least, some of their stuff...not the rap-metal stuff like Bring the Noise, where the vocals are anything but high.  But in what I think is their better stuff, like Antisocial and Madhouse, he sounds great and hits some hella high notes.


10. Wolfmother



The vocals in this band are pretty damn good, and even though some songs have higher vocals than others, it's clear that he has a great voice.

9. Coheed & Cambria



This band is incredible.  Not only can Claudio Sanchez hit ridiculous notes, but his hair has a mind of its own.  I KNOW IT.

8. Rush



LOVE.

7. The Who



Even though this band has great songs where Roger Daltrey's lower vocals sing - for instance, Love Reign O'er Me, which is definitely one of my favorite Who songs - Pete Townshend's higher voice is great, and he could sing any song he wanted and make it sound pretty much godly.

6. The Beatles



Okay, so some of their songs' vocals aren't high at all, but regardless of what song it is, they're so good that they had to be on the list.

5. Iron Maiden



Do I honestly need to explain?!  The notes that Bruce Dickinson can hit are freakin' insane!

4. Yes



You may think you've never heard this band, but I guarantee you've heard a song like Roundabout or Owner of a Lonely Heart at least once without realizing it.  From the instrumentals to the vocals, they're incredible, and Jon Anderson's high, falsetta vocals are so out of place that they sound incredible.

3. Queen



NO EXPLAINATION NEEDED.  THE END.

2. Led Zeppelin



So maybe Robert Plant's voice isn't anywhere near as high as Freddie Mercury's or Jon Anderson's, but it's still high, and it's still amazing, and I'm still obsessed with this band!

1. Guns N' Roses



These guys could go on either the lowest vocal list OR the highest vocal list.  Axl can hit ridiculous notes, whether it's at the tippy top or the very bottom of the scale.  Bottom line, he has the best range EVAR.  <3

The end. (:

I've Been Tagged!

Here are the rules:
1. You post your top 10 fantasy guys/girls
2. You tag 10 people.
3. You CANNOT tag someone who has already been tagged.
4. You have to let the people you tagged know that they've been tagged.
5. These are the rules they must be repeated every time.
6. THERE MUST BE PHOTOS! AT ALL TIMES!

Feeling lazy, but meh, oh well.
So yeah, before I start, I thought I'd let you know that I would put M. Shadows on the list, but I freakin' love his fiance (Valary DiBennedetto), so I've lost all interest.
Here are my top ten celebrity crushes (and feel free to laugh at them!)...

10. James Marsters.




Spike was the hottest.  'Nuff said. <3

9. Ville Valo



Sexy voice (both singing and speaking), sexy man...do I really need to explain?

8. Matt Tuck



Well, come on...how could you not?


7.  Milo Ventimiglia.



I'm a Peter fangirl...(:

6. Jimmy Sullivan (The Rev)




A lot of people think he's fugly, but have you heard him sing?!  It's heart-melting, even though he usually sings about stuff like fucking corpses. XD  He should bring Pinkly Smooth back!

5. Gaspard Ulliel



I don't care if he played Hannibal...have you heard his voice?  He has the sexiest French accent I've ever heard. 

4.  Tie - Gabe Saporta and William Beckett



Sound the teenie alarm, please.

3. Pete Wentz



I was trying not to put him on the list, but I couldn't help it!  I know, he's a douchebag extraordinaire, has no talent whatsoever, and is dating Asslee Simpson, but I can't help it. ):

2. Zacky Baker (Zacky Vengeance)



Bow chicka wow wow.

1. Brian Haner (Synyster Gates)



AND WE HAVE A WINNER!

PS. I'm too lazy to tag someone, so if you wanna be tagged, just tell me. xP

Hiking Pictures!

So I go hiking four times a week during break with my dad, and here's some pictures I took today! (:











Sorry they're not that great...I'm still kinda figuring out how my camera works, since I just got it two days ago.  But maybe I'll take some better ones when it gets warmer and the snakes decide to come out...there's one specific place that they always go to. (;

A moment of...um...e-silence.

I know that most likely, nobody is even going to read this, but I just have to get this out in the open.

I recently found out that a guy, Will, who's a grade above me (I know him pretty well, but I've never really gotten along with him...but he's my best friend's friend's friend.  Does that make any sense?  No?  Well, that's completely beside the point.)  Will has the most adorable little sister you'll ever see.  She was in third grade, had red hair, freckles, and the cutest smile.  Michelle had to get a liver transplant, and the operation seemed to have been a success, but they later found out that Michelle was in critical condition.  She wasn't going to make it.

She was in a coma for a few weeks, and yesterday, she died.  In third fucking grade.

Everyone's taken this really hard, whether they were close to Will or Michelle or not...I know I did.  So just think...while you're probably thinking about what you want for Christmas and what friends you're having over for New Year's Eve, you need to realize how lucky you are that you have one thing that others don't - a family.  Will and his parents will be spending Christmas without Michelle, and my heart goes out to them. 

That's all...I just had to get that out to someone, since my friends and I are trying to avoid the subject since it's so sensetive to us.

What I'm gonna be when I grow up.

Well, I recently discovered one thing - I hate school.  Okay, so I discovered that a while ago.  And for a long time, I thought it was hopeless, because not only am I unattractive, but no school = no job = no money = no life.

But then, I realized that there is, in fact, hope!  I found three jobs that I could do with a little bit of training, and I could drop out of school on this Monday if I wanted to!

3. Hibachi Chef.

That's me, right there.  Epic pwn.

2. Jewish Bottle Dancer.

I'm Jewish, I can learn to dance with a bottle on my head, and most of all, I know how to party!  That's the kind of career I want...it's like a stripper, only you have to balance shit on your head and you don't have to be attractive.

1. The Pope.

I need to take latin in school, which is apparently a very important skill in life.  And with that skill, I can either be a latin teacher or the pope.  I think the world needs a change, so I plan on becoming the first Jewish, female, American pope. 

I hope this has inspired you to look into some careers you might have never thought of!  I'll meet you at the next Bat Mitzfa with a bottle on my head, or maybe even at your local hibachi joint.  (:

Angry Rants Help Relieve Stress.

I have a nasty flu...just in time for Thanksgiving.

My parents say 'sleep it off' for EVERYTHING...I've probably been asleep for a full twenty four hours, and I don't know if I can possibly sleep any more for the rest of my life. 

Currently sweating in places I didn't even know existed...I've tried taking a freezing cold shower and opening all the windows, but neither of them worked.

They're gonna have to feed me turkey through a tube this Thanksgiving.

...Angry rants may relieve stress, but unfortunately, they don't cure the flu.

Uh oh.

I'm so bored that I'm taking pictures of myself.  They all turn out terribly.  Yikes.

Anyway, I'm bored.  Listening to Mr. Bungle.  Just two days of school next week, and I'm going to the movies with the guy I likeeee!

Life is good.

A7X...

It's FINALLY OUT!  YAY! 

They've got a new look...well, so Syn cut his hair and got a new hat, Matt got a mohawk, and Zacky was blonde for a little bit...and an even newer sound.  I'm not a fan of their new look, but their album KICKS ASS!

My favorite songs are definitely A Little Piece of Heaven (no shredding, but INCREDIBLE!  it reminds me of The Rev's side project, Pinkly Smooth, only a hell of a lot better...and speaking of The Rev, he has amazing vocals that make me wanna swoon!) and Afterlife (I don't like the chorus that much because it's too slow, but the rest of the song is amazing!)  Oh, and I love Critical Acclaim and Almost Easy, too, but I'm really sick of them because I listened to them over and over until the new album came out.




Now I only have to wait for one more album...LED ZEPPELIN'S MOTHERSHIP IS GONNA BE ON ITUNES!  Once November 13th finally comes around, I'll be completely content. (:

My Top Ten Music Guilty Pleasures.

No, I wasn't tagged for this or anything...I was just bored.  And don't get scared off, because none of them are too terrible...it's not like Insane Clown Posse or Limp Bizkit are on the list...or are they?  Read on to find out!

10.  Tool: Yeah, I know, most people think it's a shitty band.  But I can't help but like their music...I don't even know why.



9. Avenged Sevenfold: As much as I hate to admit it, A7X is one of my favorite bands.  And I know, everyone thinks they're sellouts, and I like their old stuff more, too, but I actually really like their new stuff!  (Psst...and it doesn't hurt that the guys in it are hella hot.)



8. Gwar: What can I say?  I love Gwar!



7. The Medic Droid: You've gotta love this techno-pop band of myspace whores.  (:






6. Escape the Fate: Yeah, they're a teenie band and Ronnie's supposively an asshole, but I really do like their music.  And sure, they're not my favorite band, but I still do like them. 



5. The Used & My Chemical Romance: It's a tie!  These bands are a favorite of emo kids across the nation.  Now, they're not my favorites, but I still do like them...and sure, the guys are hot (or in MCR, at least...I'm not a big Bert or Quinn fan), but their music's more than a little bit decent, too.  Oh, and by the way, during the Used/MCR feud, I was team MCR.  I like them more, but I'm just as guilty of liking them and MCR.  (:



4. Tenacious D: What can I say?  I like Tenacious D.  Jack Black and Kyle Gass, two middle-aged fat guys.  Wooo. And I don't care if Jack Black plays the same character in every movie, because he's Jack Black!  He can do whatever the fuck he wants.  And come on, you can't pretend that The Metal wasn't stuck in your head for weeks on end.  But I wasn't a big fan of the movie...eh, oh well.  I like their music.




3. All Things Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance: Yeah, I said it.  Cobra Starship, The Academy Is..., The Hush Sound, Paramore, Gym Class Heroes, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, and the whole bunch of 'em that I missed.  I like some bands more than others, but as much as I wish I hated them, I can't help but like their music!  After all, in the words of Cobra, "I came here to make you dance tonight, I don't care if I'm a guilty pleasure for you"...oh, Lord, I'm turning into a teenie. ):


^LOL@SISKYSOLDHAIR.

2. Fall Out Boy: I know, I know, I just said the FBR crew, which Fall Out Boy is part of.  But I'm more guilty of liking Fall Out Boy than the others.  There are just so many Pete teenies that it makes me want to vomit.  I mean, I love Pete and all, but I know I'm not going to marry him, and I want to kill Ashlee because I hate her, not because she's dating Pete.  Bottom line, I hate teenies, but I ESPECIALLY HATE PETE TEENIES.  And besides, nobody but Pete gets any credit, when Pete has by far the least talent.  A five-year-old could pick up a bass and play random notes and they'd be as good as he is.  Not that he's not hot, but still!  Give the people with talent some credit, will ya?



1. Dragonforce: YES!  DRAGONFORCE IS NUMERO UNO!  CHEESY POWER METAL FTW!





PS: For those of you that don't know what Dragonforce is, this sums them up:  It sounds like Phil Collins trying to be hardcore while playing Paper Mario with a ton of random notes on a guitar really fast with no structure whatsoever in the background.  AND I LIKE 'EM.

Five Songs That Changed My Life

1. Cowboys From Hell - Pantera

I know, it sounds completely ridiculous, because it's probably one of the least deep songs since Crank That by Soulja Boy.  But it was what really introduced me to metal, and I fell in love with Pantera.  Oh, and it reminds me of my ex boyfriend, who was hospitalized for trying to kill himself.   He got okay after a while, and then he moved away.  He loved Pantera...but I have no idea what happened to him.  It reminds me of him every time I listen to Pantera or Tool, his two favorite bands.

2. The Star Spangled Banner - Jimi Hendrix (Live at Woodstock)

This is what inspired me to learn how to play the guitar.  It's the most absolutely incredible guitar solo I have ever heard in my entire life, and I can't help but imagine how much hard work and passion it took for Hendrix to remake such an old-fashioned song into such a masterpiece.  And he's been dead for a long time, but his art will be with us forever, as will Dimebag's.

3. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Ahaha, this song changed my life in the weirdest ways.  It's nothing tragic or anything, but I'll never be able to hear it again without thinking of Wayne's World...still, in my opinion, this is one of the most incredible songs in the world.

4. Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

This song really spoke to me, because he's talking about how Ziggy got all of the credit from his band and he let his ego get to him, and it brought him nothing but bad luck.  Incredible song...long live David Bowie.

5. Under Pressure - Freddy Mercury & David Bowie

I know, I know, both Freddy Mercury and David Bowie are on this list twice.  But Under Pressure should've been at the top of the list...eh, oh well, too late now.  I was under a lot of pressure last year...I'd just gone through a breakup, my best friend decided to turn into a bitch to become 'popular', my parents were going through a financial crisis, my grades were terrible and I was nearly kicked out of my school, my grandma was in the hospital...it was a rough patch for me.  But whenever I heard this song, I knew I wasn't the only person that was going through all of the pressure, and besides, there were people out there who had it a hell of a lot worse than me.  

Yeah, mine's not nearly as deep as a lot of other people's, but I was bored!

Blah.

I do not support the Sonny Moore solo project.  Check it out at myspace.com/sonnysound and you'll see why I'm posting this.  I saw it a while ago and I've never liked it, but I've thought about it a lot today because I've been bored.  And I know he'll never see this or anything, but I can't help but say this - Sonny, what the hell happened?  From First to Last was pretty good band, and you left them for Sonnysound!  Even the name sounds terrible! 



Oldschool Sonny.  He looks hot, even though you can tell that's only because his face is covered in makeup and hair.  But still, that doesn't matter, because he looked goooood. 

BUT LOOK AT HIM NOW! 



Oh, dear God, Sonny.  Go back to FFTL or GTFO, please. 

WHO'S WITH ME?

A Message of Hope!

So this is my first journal entry, and I'm here to let you know that maybe one day, you WILL marry Pete Wentz!  That’s right, teenies, I’ve got a message for you. 

So I was looking around, and I realized there were a lot of comments on pictures like these –
“Omg Pete Wntz iz my luvrrrr handz off asslee hez MINEEE.”
“Grard n lynz r teh wrst gee is MII luvr.”

And you can’t forget the usernames, such as ‘mrspetewentz’ and ‘gerardwaysluvr’.  But the place you find them the most is at their source—Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Panic! At The Disco concerts.  Teenies live there and annoy the hell out of everyone.  And I know what most people think of them, because I feel the same way…why do they even bother?  You’re never gonna get together with Gerard Way, because you’re twelve and he’s thirty and married!

But then I realized something—there’s hope!  Did you realize that the majority of teenies are around ten to fourteen years old, and their targets are usually around twenty one to thirty five?  Well, I discovered that they could very well marry their favorite rock star.  After all, it happened to John Travolta’s wife, didn’t it?  

Well, think of it this way – let’s say you’re a twelve-year-old, and you want to marry Gerard Way.  But guess what the age difference is?  18 years—that means Gerard’s more than twice your age.  At first, you may think, ‘wow, bum out’, but just wait for a few years!  By the time you’re 28 and still young and hot, Gerard’s gonna be 48, and he’ll be all over you.  The same goes for Pete Wentz…when you’re 28 and he’s 46, he’d probably give anything to get together with you.  

So you see, teenies, patience is a virtue, and if you just wait for a few years, you just might end up with that rock star that you’ve been crushing on.  All you have to do is pray he doesn’t end up getting fat like Axl Rose.  (Not that we don’t still love him, though!)
