I'm a Justin Timberlake Junkie

-
I have an addiction. It's not some normal addiction, like alcohol or drugs. It's much more serious. I am addicted...to Justin Timberlake.
I am a Justin Timberlake junkie. 

That may sound pretty tame to you; maybe you think I just like to listen to his songs some times, maybe you think I just really liked *NSYNC as a kid. That's not it; I am actually obsessed with JT.

He just has the hair and the face and the eyes and the voice and the feet and he's such a great dancer and he's so funny and he's so nice and he's such a good golfer and he was in Shrek the Third and I loved that movie  and he sings and he smiles and he says romantic things about his wife and he does things (that are recorded on the Justin Timberlake Does Things tumblr) and I saw him live in concert once and it was magical and ALL THE FEELS. I just love him; he's a perfect human being.

So that should maybe give you some idea of how I feel....

I can't help it. Some days, I'm just walking down the street and I just randomly think to myself: "you know who's awesome? Justin Timberlake"(or, alternatively, I think "you know who's awesome? Voldemort" - but I try not to tell people about that...). Like, if you don't believe me, you can read through all my old blogs and tally up all the times I mention either JT or *NSYNC (or, for extra brownie points, you can do the same thing with posts in which I mention both Justin Timberlake and Voldemort). I'm guessing those numbers are both well over what would be considered excusable for a functioning adult.

But, in my defense, he is awesome. It's not like I decided to have some weird obsession with Robin Thicke or Miley Cyrus. Aside from being an extremely talented musician and dancer and being a pretty darn good actor too, JT is just classy and down to earth and nice. Kindness is so underrated. When you watch his interviews, you just get the sense that he is genuinely a really nice guy. Sometimes you watch videos of celebrities and you're like "oh, you're soooo slimy", but not with JT. He just seems like a really cool guy. He's always so nice and so funny and such a gentleman. Not to mention that he's respectful to other artists, and most of all, he's respectful to his fans.

The fans have been great to me. I don't think it's asking too much to have me sign something for them. - Justin Timberlake

I mean, he's made some mistakes in the past, but Justin Timberlake isn't one of those child stars who turns 25 and completely loses their mind. He's been famous for more than half his life and he still seems like such a great and humble person. Therein lies the root of my addiction. 

Sometimes I just go onto YouTube and search Justin Timberlake interviews and I watch them all. Even if I've already seen them, and I still laugh at all the jokes! Like, all my friends know that if we're in the car together and a JT song comes on the radio, no one is getting out of that car until that song is over.

He's the wallpaper on my phone.

And I can't even begin a day of work without listening to "Suit & Tie" first. It is actually impossible. Why "Suit & Tie"? I don't know, it's not even my favorite Justin Timberlake song. Maybe I just like to picture him in a suit and tie, maybe I'm just  a little bit crazy, I don't know. Anyways, after that I just listen to the rest of the JT songs on my phone in a loop for the rest of the day. I have other songs  on my phone; actually I have over 400 other songs on my phone, but I never seem to listen to them. It's not even like he's my favorite musician or anything (for the record, RHCP holds that title in my life), I just like to listen to his songs on a loop. Like, I'll be like "this is the fifth time I've heard "Senorita" today and I don't even really like that song", but do I change the song, no, absolutely not.

I am on a drug, it's called...JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

But it's not just me! Like, just go onto YouTube and read the comments on any one of his music videos or interviews. It's crazy! There are people out there who make me look like I have a passing interest in JT. But even aside from that, you can go up to any random person on the street and ask them what they think about Justin Timberlake and I can almost guarantee that no one will have anything negative to say about him. He's just so likable! Like, on one occasion he shut down an entire city block, and no one even cared! Like, everyone's just willing to make concessions for him because he's so great and perfect and wonderful in every way. Like, even the people who say they don't like Justin Timberlake actually like him. Like, I have this one friend who listens to Metalica and Slip Knot and all these other heavy metal bands and he hates emotion and likes to act all tough and stuff, and one day, I was like "I love Justin Timberlake. How do you feel about Justin Timberlake?" There was just this long pause and then he was like "I like him, but don't tell anybody". Then we had a heart to heart about how talented and wonderful JT is. I feel like Justin Timberlake could commit murder and everyone would just look the other day; the police would be like "well, I'm sure he had a good reason...he's Justin Timberlake!"

Yes he is, he is Justin Timberlake. Enough said.

Just sayin'

Disney Princesses from Best to Worst

-
Image
So, I recently saw a YouTube video that ranked all the Disney Princesses from best to worst, and I got really irritated with it because I thought the YouTuber got a lot of things wrong (although, to be fair, it really is a matter of opinion). So I decided to do my own Disney princess ranking from worst to best, you know, because that's how grown ups spend their time. (I know I said best to worst in the title, but it just sounds weird to say worst to best, so sorry for being one of those tricky people who writes misleading blog titles :P). Someone Needs an Attitude Adjustment Tinkerbell - I know that Tinkerbell isn't technically a Disney princess these days, but she was considered one of the original Disney princesses, so I'm going to include her here. I'm going to be honest here, I lover her, but Tinkerbell is an AWFUL person. I mean, she's jealous and spiteful and vain and she get's angry so easily. Not to mention that she totally threw Wendy under the...

What Happened to Ernest?

-

So, I've been required to read Frankenstein twice, once in college and once in high school, so I know that the book raises a lot of questions and themes, like the nature and importance of beauty and appearance in society and literature, what is considered monstrous in popular culture, the dangers of scientific exploration, etc, etc. But, to me, perhaps the most important question the book raises is what happened to Ernest ? In case you are unfamiliar with Frankenstein, let me give you a brief plot summary. Victor Frankenstein, the title character, decides that it's a good idea to build an eight foot tall quasi-man, animal creature while he's away at college. After he brings the creature to life, he has a freak out and runs away. After this, his creature, through a series of convoluted events, ends up killing everyone Victor cares about as revenge for Victor not creating a female creature for the monster. That is, everyone except Ernest. At the beginning of the book, V...

The Trouble with Targaryen Eyebrows

-
Image
Those Eyebrows Though As you know, I have strong opinions about eyebrows . I also have strong opinons about Game of Thrones. Usually, those two things do not intersect, but today they do. Let's not dance around the issue here: Daenerys Targaryen has weird eyebrows. (If you don't watch Game of Thrones , this probably is total nonsense to you. In case you're interested, Daenerys Targaryen is one of the show's main characters. She is descended from a royal line that originated in Valyria. In the A Song of Ice and Fire books , Valyrians have very distinctive physical features: white hair and purple eyes. In the show, Daenerys (aka Dany) has white hair (a wig) but her eyebrows are dark brown -- mostly because the actress' natural hair is dark brown.) Anyway, if you watch Game of Thrones at all you know that Dany looks great in almost every episode and she's completely gorgeous and beautiful. However, the weirdness of her eyebrows is unavoidable. I know it,...

Bizarro World: Modern Day Game of Thrones

-

So, the other day I was on Facebook and I saw this article from Entertainment Weekly, in which an artist did drawings of the cast of Game of Thrones in 80s and 90s clothes. Needless to say, I was quite entertained. Anyway, it got me thinking, what sort of lives would the Game of Thrones characters live if they existed in the real, modern world? I think it would be something like Superman's bizarro world. Everything would be the same except their would be Starks and Targaryens walking around and Voldemort would have a nose.   That is the parallel universe I want to live in. I mean, can you imagine a world where Tyrion Lannister was an actual person ? I think he would be either the Secretary of State or the benevolent dictator of a small country. Modern Day Tyrion The rest of the Lannister's though...I don't think they would be so successful . Like, being all murderous and bloodthirsty is okay when you live in a medieval world where you're running the show, but ...

What Really Happened to Cedric Digory (The True Origin of the Twilight Series)

-

So, I was rewatching the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie the other day and I started to develop a theory. Cedric Diggory dies at the end of the movie in the graveyard, right? Well, what if he wasn't really dead. What if he just became [duh, duh, dun] a vampire. Ladies and gentlemen, I have just discovered the true origin of Edward Cullen. My first clue was that Robert Pattinson played both characters in the film adaptations. You think Robert Pattinson played Edward Cullen because he likes Twilight ? You're dead wrong. Robert Pattinson hates Twilight! The only reason he did Twilight was out of loyalty to Cedric's story line. Granted, it's one of the more bizarre character arcs in the Harry Potter series, but J.K. Rowling is richer than the Queen; she doesn't have to make sense. Here's what happened to Cedric: So, first off, Voldemort kills Cedric. Now, a lot of people think that Voldemort killed Cedric because Voldemort is just evil, but the tr...
