Jesus loves me



MEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW

I wish my brother still lived in LA he so would have gone with me. Mew was awesome tonight. It was really cool. When I got to the door there was this big guy with a suit like they show in the movies, and he asked me what my name was. I told him, and he asked for an id, so I showed it to him, and he crossed my name off THE list. I felt very important, there were no more than 30 people on that list so yeah. I got lucky cos I'm not seeing them tomorrow. Freaking show sold out fast. It's the troubador so who didn't expect it. LA loves Mew.

As we were waiting for Mew to come out I was eavesdropping on the guys behind me and the were talking about pokemon...haha...one of the guys was telling the other how mew evolves into mewtwo. That so brought back memories of the old days. Actually I think I have a Mew stuffed toy from Burger King. Mew and Pikachu were always my favorites. :) The Pokemon first movie was awesome, I still have it, ooh and M2M were on the soundtrack...Marit Larsen is my favorite singer :)

So after waiting for what seemed forever the turned off the lights and they showed us the videos for Introducing Palace Players and the exclusive premier of Repeaterbeater and Beach. Repeaterbeater has got to be the coolest Mew video EVER! It's creepy too, like something from a horror film. There's like these creepy old people and then the guys start going all crazy, and they look possessd and stuff...scary but awesome. Then almost towards the ending of the Beach video(it has some creepy kids in it doing some sort of weird ritual that involves sunglasses, this spinny thing, and the drinking of some red liquid...it's not blood!) Mew came out, everyone thought that the video was over, so evryone started clapping. Bo told us it wasn't "done yet guys." When it finished thethe lights went back on. YAY! It was special cause Mew performs only in the dark. As they were getting ready to perform Symmetry, they started speaking and Danish to each other, and someone asked what that meant, and Bo told jokingly us that it meant that we were handsome and that it was the name of their sound engineer who also happened to be handsome. Funny Bo!

They performed:
New Terrain
Symmetry
Hawaii Dream
Silas the Magic Car

Everyone wanted an encore, but they didn't come back...so I went upstairs to take pictures of the video stills they had up. As I was coming out of one of the little rooms I saw people crowding and then I saw Bo. Oh my goodness Bo! I asked him if I could take a picture with him, and he said yeah. So I did, and I told him it was nice meeting him, and thank you, and he told me "Thanks for coming!" (In his sexy Danish accent) Then I went away and I took more pictures of the gallery, and then I saw this door open, and I saw Bastain at the door...and inside it I saw Jonas! Beautiful Jonas. They're all beautiful. Then Silas came out. Meeting Silas was funny cause he's really quiet, I think he's shy... and I'm quiet and shy too. So when I went up to him we just stared at eachother for a couple of seconds and then I asked him if I could take a picture with him, he said yeah...I'm not sure if he said anything else though cause I could barely hear him. I know for a fact that if Silas and I were stuck on a deserted island we would never say a word, cause that's just how quiet we are. So then I asked this nice lady if I could borrow her Sharpie and I went back to Bo to get my vinyl signed. Then I tried to get Silas, but he got away...Well he didn't really it looked like I stalked him downstairs but I was going down to go outside...I so would have gotten his signature if he wasn't talking to this guy. Oh well, I'll get him to sign it next time.

Today was exciting. I got some limited edition stuff like the No more stories vinyl, and 3 8x10 video stills, which I'm gonna buy frames for. I also got a free bookmark, some free stickers, and a free poster. YAY! Gosh I looooooooooove Mew. They're brilliant.

When I met Silas and Bo I felt like an average teenage girl feels when they think of meeting Robert Pattinson. Yep that's what they're like to me.

No more stories are told today I'm sorry they washed away No more Stories The world is grey I'm tired let's wash away

So today I got No More Stories in the mail. Yay! What a nice surprise! Right now I really like New Terrain, Silas the Magic Car, and Tricks of the Trade. I'm gonna listen to it again though cause I was reading the new issue of Nylon, which I also got in the mail today. I'm so excited, not so much for tomorrow though, well maybe a little because I'm gonna make someone take me to go buy the new Arctic Monkeys' album since I'm special tomorrow. I can do what I want. Well...sort of. Project Runway and Ace of Cakes tomorrow! yay! I'm more excited about Tv than the actual say itself. HA!

Collection:I've had my ghostly encounter

I've just remembered! Years ago I was filming in my house and I had a ghostly encounter. Here's the footage.
By the way, the related videos look pretty scary.

I just went out in the dark to get some water, that just shows how unafraid I am.
Well, to be honest, I went half way, and the I turned on the lights.
Then I heard my neighbors talk, and I panicked, because I though it was something else.
It's two in the morning, and everyone's asleep. I have a right to be scared.

Ghost Hunters...And MEW

Ghost Hunters Pictures, Images and Photos
Photobucket

So today I had something to do. I didn't feel like doing my homework, since I'm almost done (well, sort of...I know I'm more ahead than some people, plus I've got time). Well anyways, I didn't feel like doing homework so I turned on the TV. I checked to see what was on, and they were giving lots of things, but I decided to watch Ghost Hunters. Now, I had never seen this show. I had seen promos of it, and I had been tempted to watch it, but I was scared. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, my sister and her dog were in the back, I thought, "why not, I mean it's daylight, I'm be alone, and I've got the birdie to keep me company." So I watched it. Since I didn't know what to expect, I was pretty scared, but only for like the first half hour. One episode turned into two, two turned into four. I watched four episodes of Ghost Hunters, and I really liked it. It's quality entertainment. What really kept me watching was all the beautiful places they go to, and the history, the history of these places is so intriguing. I mean yes these places are creepy, but they're really nice to look at. Plus, like I said before, it's entertaining.
They don't get a whole bunch of scary stuff, they often get the usual footsteps, or a faint sound, but when they get something good, oh it's good.

Some of the good stuff I saw/heard today: a picture frame moving towards a chair that has been witnessed to move on its own as well, a sort of mist moving around, a set of pictures taken continuously in where the second one is completely white, a shadow that was NOT cast by any of the people in the room, two pictures of two figures walking in a kitchen, a ghost faintly saying no when asked if he was scared of the ghost hunters, the ghost of a little girl pulling on a ghost hunter's clothes when asked to right after another ghost hunter asked her too in another room (she also replied to him, by saying something, I forgot what she said though), and my favorite a ghost lady saying it was "Eduardo" although I believe it was "Alvaro"

The creepiest encounter was in Chile, where they were in this room where they used to put children in cages when they were bad. So the ghost hunters were in there right, and they were interrogating a ghost, and they asked it what happens after we die, and when they went back through the recording during the analysis there was a reply, in which the ghost said in a sort of spooky slither "hell." Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.

Yep. So now on to Mew. In this interview with faceculture.com Jonas Bjerre talks about the album cover for No More Stories... Which I have to say that to those who think that any of Mew's album artwork is weird: You are weird sir, yes. Mew's album artwork has got to be one of the best. I mean have you seen the artwork for And the glass handed kites, it's so cool, and the way their faces blend in together it's so neat. Now I must admit that when I saw the artwork for No more stories... I thought it was ugly, but I set it as my desktop background, and I learned to like it. Eventually Like turned to Love, and now when I look at it, I just smile, cause I think it's cute, and it has a sort of childish touch to it, kind of like A Trump for Man's artwork. Plus it's colorful, and if you know me you know that I LIKE COLORFUL THINGS. They're pretty.

Now on to the last part of the Mew interview. In this part Jonas talks about the meaning of the album's title, and I must say that this is weird because when he explains it, he explains just how I felt yesterday when my Ipod died (it turns on, but it gives me the sad face, I've been able to resuscitate it from the sad face, but this time it didn't work, and I tried). It's magical, coincidental, Jonas Bjerre knows how I feel. He says "When the world really gets you down, it could be anything, it could be personal stuff, or just the world in general, that's when you need stories, but sometimes you just feel saturated, you can't even stand turning on the television or opening a book you just feel you need quiet, you need nonexistence, you need to just think of nothing ." That's just how I felt yesterday, so I went to sleep.


Also I was looking through the official Mew Forum, in the Good Looking Mew Pictures thread (Yeah, I know, I'm a loser, but I can't help it that thread is funny), and ffouette posted this picture. It's so adorable look at Silas with his glasses, he looks so young, they all look so young, especially Silad he was about 17/18 when this picture was taken. It's on the artwork for A Triumph for Man which was originally released 12 years ago, so that picture is old.

Oh and this screencap posted by squareone13 is hilarious. Mew were being photographed, and Silas told Bo to get closer for the picture, and Bo said "ah whatever." This is a screencap of the moment after when grumpy old Bo told off Poor Silas. The reaction on Silas' face is so saddening, but overall the picture is funny look at Bo, and Jonas is just there minding his own business.

I don't mean to offend anyone who posts or lurks in the Mew Forums cause I know that they are less of a loser than I am. :)

More cool MEW pictures. They have cool pictures.

Bo could be a model.

All of these I got them off of the official Mew Forum. If anyone has a problem with me posting these pictures on here, just leave a comment or PM me on the Forum my user name is jj123, and I will kindly remove them. :)

P.S. Chinatown is very pretty at night.
