    I am officially pimping out the newest, most awesome-est Gossip Girl fic-challenge: gossipink. I've seen some of the stories for our first challenge and I promise that they're really good. I know some of you guys on my dear f-list are GG fans and I know that I am always looking for new, create, and good, fanfiction. 
    For the first challenge, every author selected a fairy-tale and they've based their fic around it. Every day this week, two fics will be posted. Click on the banner to watch gossipink and have fun reading!

    On Thursday I was so happy because I got my Sims 3 game. I've been waiting for it to come out since I learned they were making a new one. I don't know what it is about the game, but I love playing it.

     Friday I saw Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen. I have to say that I really enjoyed it. The beginning scenes were hilarious, especially the ones that included the mother. The action scenes were good too. I didn't get bored with them after the first two like I usually do in action movies. I have to say that I love the cars that they use. Especially Bumblebee/Camaro. When the first movie came out everyone in my family wanted to get one and I definitley think we should =D

     I was driving in the car yesterday with my mom and sister and my mom said that Taylor Swift's new single sounds like Saving Jane's song. Later yesterday Hanna (my sister) said that she heard Taylor's song and that it does sound like Saving Jane's. Now I didn't listen to the song, but

Saving Jane's Lyrics:
"She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door"

Taylor Swift's Lyrics:
"But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm in the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find what you're looking for has been here the whole time"

1. The bolded lyrics are the same. The words are different, but according to my college changing a couple words is plagiarism. We would get kicked out of school for that.
2. The comparison of the popular girl to the singer who is not popular (although in the SJ video there's an actress portraying the unpopular girl but the singer is also alone singing so she is also 'unpopular.') The popular girl is also brunette which contrasts the blonde singers.
3. Saving Jane's song (and first cd) is entitled Girl Next Door. I just watched Taylor's video and she is literally the girl next door.
4. Also, Taylor is in the marching band in the video, as in Saving Jane's videos + lyrics. And in both videos there's a game going on where the popular girl is cheering and you see the unpopular girl in the bleachers in their band uniforms.
5. Also, both videos end with prom scenes. In Taylor's video she gets (steals) the boy, and in SJ's video you see them in the limo after prom and the girl steals the tiara from the prom queen.

    Also, Ashley Tisdale is semi-copying off of Cobra Starship(♥). Her new cd is called Guilty Pleasure and every Cobra fan knows that it's the title to their most well-known single from ¡Viva La Cobra! Additionally their new CD is called Hot Mess and guess who has a song on their cd called Hot Mess...yeah Ashley. I don't know if she's (or someone else) is doing it intentionally, but it's a really really big coincidence if that's what it is.

    You can take from this what you want. But whatever you do, I reccomend seeing Transformers II. It's so worth it.


    (And I saw CB & Leighton Meester on It's On With Alexa Chung and she is not that great as a host. I would like to know who made her host.)

    First of all I've got a couple new friends thanks to aldegader's friending meme. It's the first meme I've really had time to go through and read other people's comments.
( video + picture adventure! )

    I had a little movie marathon today. I watched Friday the 13th (2009), Wanted, & 100 Feet and I'm going to watch Hotel Rwanda. I basically watched Friday for Jared Padalecki. He's so gorgeous. And while I was watching it, all I could think was: Sam Winchester would have no problem with Jason.

    It stormed on and off all day today. It was supposed to storm like this tomorrow but I guess it came a day early so now I'll have to work tomorrow. I haven't really worked that much this summer since every day I'm supposed to lifeguard it storms. I did save someone though this summer. I saved a little girl who wandered where she couldn't stand and no one was with her/watching her .This is my third year at the pool and it's only the first time I've ever had to jump into the water and get someone out. There have been a couple of saves this year (and it's not even the end of June!), whereas the last two years we've only saved 1 or 2 people. And the thing is, the people/kids that we're saving aren't even from the community that our pool's in. They're from the closest city and yes I know they have a pool there, more than one, but they decide to come to our pool so we have to yell and save them. It's getting a bit ridiculous.
    I've been listening to This Providence over and over since they're coming to Crock Rock July 1st and I'm going to see them! I am so excited. I've liked them for years now, but they never came to PA (that I knew of) so I could see them. I've also been listening to Kings of Leon's more popular songs since my mom and sister both like them so they're deemed "car appropriate" & can be played when we're in the car. The three of us have semi-different taste in music and my mom likes music that she knows to be played in the car.
