Annica talks briefly about school.

Hello, it's Tuesday!~

It's been a very busy two weeks here on Nerdily Ever After. And by busy, I mean that Jess is the only one who posted in ten days. Thank you, Jess. You're lovely.

How are y'all?

The school year should be wrapping up for all of us, so how about we make that our theme this week.

I think that I'm getting what I like to call end-of-the-year-itis. Basically, I don't want to do anything in my classes anymore. Homework? Pff. No.

Today, I had a presentation in my health class. We're doing our presentations in order of class rank, so I was first. I did okay, I think. My teacher wasn't clear at all on what to do, so I made a few mistakes, but that's alright.

This school year has been okay. It hasn't been my favourite, but I've grown a lot. It's been...interesting. Next year will be better.

Anyway, tell me about your school!~

Winona, I'll read you tomorrow!

Have a nice week, ladies!

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL BRIDGET'S MUSIC: Top 25!

^ Anyone remember these CD's? Anywhoozle, sorry about my absence recently, but let's jump right in! Like Sanja, I have no idea what is going to come up on here because I usually just listen to my iPod!
HERE WE GO!

1. Disorganized Fun - Ronald Jenkees
Not surprised this is #1. Ronald Jenkees is pure legend. As is this song!

2. In One Ear - Cage the Elephant
This has such a great bass line and beat, it's a really rocker.

3. Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root
I love this song because: 1. The natural feel to it 2. It's "our" (Jordan and I) song.

4. Sleepyhead - Passion Pit
Classic.

5. Phamous - Midi Mafia
Maybe it's Shay Carl that made me love this song, or the fact that it's so fun to dance to, but it's great!

6. Come on! Come on! - Morgan Laurence
COME ON COME OOOON, I KEEP RUNNING TILL I BURN OUT THE SUN SUUUUN~

7. Dear June - Nickasaur!
What a cute song, very electronic but the lyrics are just adorable.

8. Vie En Rose - Pomplamoose
Quand je ecoute les chansons Francais- mmmm. Il y n'a pas les mots.

9. Sleepyhead (Stripped Down Version) - Passion Pit
This song reminds me of Holland. Don't ask me why - I don't know.

10. I'd Rather Dance With You - Kings of Convenience
Somebody on Omegle actually recommended this band to me, and I love them. It's such a groove.

11. Ever So Slightly - The Title
Another completely electro song, but really catchy chorus.

12. Here It Goes Again - OK GO
CLAAAAASSIC.

13. 00 Gringo - Urban Delights
This was my jam for the longest time, still kind of is. I love the grudge feel.

14. Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Imogen Heap is both a lyrical and melodic genius.

15. Hey, Soul Sister - Train
WHAT? NON INDIE MUSIC?  Yes, this is mainstream. Still good though!

17. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO
I hope to see them, they are supposedly coming to my town. That would be such a jam!

18. Club Villain - Your Favorite Martian
This is such a great song. Listen to the lyrics! SO funny.

19. Kids - MGMT
Current jam. The beat is delicious.

20. Electric Feel - MGMT
Another MGMT song - another yummy beat.

21. Older Brother - Pepper Rabbit
This song always makes me cry. Every time.

22. Neptune - Ronald Jenkees
SO GOODJKFSJKLSF.

23. Alors on Danse - Strome
Le francais!

24. Expiration Date - Pomplamoose
Another Pomplamoose song - one of the coolest bands ever.

25. Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant
And finishing this list off with a really groovy song.

Current Mood Song: Kids - MGMT
Currently Reading: School textbooks ;(
Today is awesome because I spent it at home watching Pokemon.

A trip down memory lane - music style

Hey there everyone! I'm coming at you at mid-day today; isn't that odd? Well, I've got a spare so I figured I may as well get my post up sooner than later :)

So, while my iTunes takes its sweet time to open, I think it's worth mentioning that I have no idea what is going to come up on here because I usually just listen to iTunes on shuffle and honestly, I rarely do listen to it at all. It's always on the iPod!

Alright, well it looks like it's about ready so let's get this started :D

1.Grace Kelly (Mika)
Hmm. Didn't expect this to be first. I honestly didn't think I listened to it that much...this should be interesting..

2. Papa Don't Preach (Glee Version)
LOL. OH GLEE!! I did enjoy this song from Season 1 and quite frankly I enjoy many of the Glee covers. I mean, they even managed to make Rebecca Black's song sound alright

3. Watch This Space (Britannia High TV Cast)
Oh yeah, so last year I got really into this British TV show called Britannia High. It was pretty much like Glee except a lot happier and cheesier and starred Mitch Hewer as one of the main guys which is what initially got me interested because I just loved him in skins ( <3 Maxxie)

4. Wake Up (Britannia High TV Cast)
Another Britannia High song and probably my favourite. Or at least it's got my fav quote: "Take a breath like the world is out of oxygen and use it just to laugh"

5. Proud (Britannia High TV Cast)
Oh my, now I'm thinking that this top 25 is more accurate of myself a year ago when I was obsessing over this show. I love the songs, but I don't think I've listened to them that much in the last while

6. YES (LMFAO)
LOL. This song just amuses me so much :)

7. Hard (Rihanna ft. Young Jeezy)
Wouldn't have thought that this made the list, although it is a cool song

8. Chain (Back-On)
Also known as the theme song for the anime Air Gear. I got really into this anime and manga a while ago and they have an awesome song

9. Tik Tok (Ke$ha)
HAHA! Kesha. Truth be told, I do enjoy her music. It gets me pumped :D

10. Ravers Fantasy (Tune Up)
This is an all techno/electronic song and I really like it

11. Your Man (Down With Webster)
My fav line from this song: She's as hard as AC/DC, she gets my thunder struck :P

12. Give Him Up (Faber Drive)
It's an alright song. I don't think it's amazing. I honestly don't know how it made the list

13. Defying Gravity (Glee Cast Version)
This song is good on its own but I really enjoyed how they did it on Glee

14. Waking Up in Vegas (Katy Perry)
's cool. Don't know what else to say. Didn't think it was a top 25 but whatevs

15. Body to Body (Britannia High TV Cast)
LOVE THIS SONG! It's another Britannia High one but yeah, it's just AWESOME

16. Jam (Michael Jackson)
I am a huge Michael Jackson fan. I think his music is just so amazing no matter what anyone says about his personal life

17. They Don't Really Care About Us (Michael Jackson)
Another Mike Jackson favourite <3

18. Anonimna (Slobodan Vasic)
Oh yeah. So, I'm Serbian if ya didn't know. And this is one of my favourite Serbian songs :P

19. The Con (Tegan and Sara)
I used to listen to Tegan and Sara A LOT! But now, it's sorta faded out of my life. Except for their newish song "I Feel it in my Bones"

20. Jump (Van Halen)
This song makes me happy :D

21. Grease is the Word (The Bee Gees)
I LOVE Grease. It is one of my favourite movies and John Travolta is so awesome in it!

22. Shipwrecked (Chameleon Circuit)
YAY CHAMELEON CIRCUIT! I'm surprised that more of these songs aren't on here because I honestly don't listen to this one that much. I really like Count the Shadows, Blink, and An Awful Lot of Running the most

23. True Colours (Glee Cast Version)
I really really like this song. Again, I love Glee and I thought they performed it well

24. Like a Virgin (Glee Cast Version)
HA! This song makes me laugh and I really like it

25. D.A.N.C.E. (Justice)
Ohhhh, that's a classic. I don't think you can have a partay without this song :D

LOL, so this was a funny experience because as I predicted, these songs don't really reflect what I listen to now. These would be the playlist of my former grade 11 January of 2010 self, who was obsessed with Britannia High and Glee. Don't get me wrong, I still love all these songs but since last year, I've downloaded more music by Alex Day, ALL CAPS, MoM, Charlie McDonnell, Nice Peter, and Starkid which definitely would have made the list if I had actually played 'em on iTunes :P

But chyeah, that was that! Read ya tomorrow, Bridget :)

    Annica's music!~

    Oh hai. It's Tuesday.

    I apologize for not posting last week. I haven't even seen A Very Potter Sequel yet. Blasphemy!~

    On to the theme ---

    This is actually an inconvenient week for this theme. I am currently in the process of updating all of my music (meaning, I went on a deleting spree this weekend), so a lot of artists repeat on my list.

    TOP 25 MOST PLAYED

    Nobody, Not Even the Rain by La Dispute
    Such Small Hands by La Dispute
    Howl by Florence and the Machine
    Dust Bowl Dance by Mumford and Sons
    The Cave by Mumford and Sons
    Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club
    My Baby by Ministry of Magic
    Dog Days are Over by Florence and the Machine
    Lupin's Tale by Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls
    Wild World (Skins Version) by Cat Stevens
    Young Folks by Peter, Bjorn, and John
    Kiss With a Fist by Florence and the Machine
    Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons
    Fall Down and Never Get Back Up Again by La Dispute
    An Awful Lot of Running by Chameleon Circuit
    Hermione's Song (You and Me) by Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls
    Timshel by Mumford and Sons
    Exterminate, Regenerate by Chameleon Circuit
    Ginny from A Very Potter Musical
    Blinding by Florence and the Machine
    Dumbledore (Dynamite Parody) by Alex Carpenter
    For Emma by Bon Iver
    Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up) by Florence and the Machine
    Why by Let's Lumos
    Lovegood by Ministry of Magic

    I'm actually surprised by some of them. For example, I do not listen to A Very Potter Musical very often at all. I don't know how that made the list. Maybe I just don't notice that I'm listening to it. I don't know.

    I would have annotated this like Jess, but I've got to go do To Kill a Mockingbird homework. Ack!~

    Winona, I will read you tomorrow!

    Jess... was going to quote Starship but thought that might be too excessive

    This week's theme is something that I find really interesting. Also, it doesn't require much effort, really. What're your top 25 most played songs?

    Jess's Top 25 Most Played Songs (Annotated Edition)

    1. PUSH - Rich Aucoin
    Rich Aucoin is amazing. This isn't my favorite song by him, but I do love it a lot.

    2. Shortwave Part 1 [Alan Lastufka/Luke Conard Cover] - Mike Lombardo
    This is my favorite cover of...

    3. Shortwave, Part 1 - Alan Lastufka & Luke Conard
    ...my favorite song. Ever. Not just on Erase This.

    4. Touchin On My - 3OH!3
    Oh, the shame. I have no explanation.

    5. The Time of Your Life - Alex Day
    This was the first Alex Day song I ever really liked. Later, I got into all of his music. But I still remember the day that this music video came out.

    6. Dear Diary - The Parselmouths
    I'm never sure what to say when people ask what my favorite wrock song is. Sometimes I say this song, because it is my most played wrock song. (Other times I say Seven Shadows by Ministry of Magic, which is probably more true.)

    7. Boxcar Blood - Alan Lastufka & Luke Conard
    Fun fact - I sang this in my music class this year. This is the only song on Erase This that really fits my voice. So.

    8. Kids - Sleigh Bells
    Yay! The first Sleigh Bells song!

    9. Behind Your Eyes - Skyway Flyer
    This is by far my favorite song that Jason has ever made under the name Skyway Flyer, and it makes me sad that it doesn't get a lot of attention.

    10. Straight A's - Sleigh Bells
    Second Sleigh Bells song. Not much to say. Just a ton of epic awesomeness.

    11. However Far Away - Ministry of Magic
    For a long time, I never even really liked this song at all. But then it randomly came on shuffle - and as many songs do - and promptly became one of my favorite songs.

    12. Spotlight (Twilight Mix) - Mutemath
    Yeah... This is from the Twilight Soundtrack. I know, I know. But seriously, I like the song.

    13. Abby Never [YouTube Version] - Mike Lombardo
    I'm 98% sure that this is the first Mike Lombardo song that I ever bought. Which is exciting.

    14. Hurricane - Panic! at the Disco
    Dude. I love this song. (Why is this becoming less and less eloquent?)

    15. Superman - Rich Aucoin
    This is my favorite song by Rich Aucoin, and the first song that I will recommend if you ask me to name a good song you've never heard of. (That's only if you already know about DFTBA/wrock/trock/etc. But yeah anyway.)

    16. Thanks, Earthquake - Driftless Pony Club
    I'm not even sure that this is my favorite DPC song, but it's SO SO good.

    17. Making A Scene - Alan Lastufka & Luke Conard
    I don't even listen to this song that often, but I'm pretty sure it's on the list because I attempt to follow Alan's wishes. He wants people to listen to Erase This in order. As this is the first song on the album, I've played it many times because I attempt to listen to Erase This all the way through.

    18. Summer of '09 - ALL CAPS
    I've been thinking about it, and I think that this is my favorite song by my favorite band. Yeah. I've never been sure what my favorite ALL CAPS song was, but I think this is it.

    19. World of Warcraft Ruined My Life - ALL CAPS
    Ahahaha, this song is brilliant.

    20. Mr. Brightside - The Killers
    Woah, what? Mainstream stuff that I'm not ashamed of? Cool.

    21. Infinity Guitars - Sleigh Bells
    This was my first Sleigh Bells song. I hear this song being used in commercials all the time. Whenever I do, I yell out, "SLEIGH BELLS!" and my parents look at my like I'm insane. Which lately isn't that unusual.

    22. Goodbye Privet Drive - Ministry of Magic
    :)

    23. Let's Kill Tonight - Panic! at the Disco
    I gave this song a 9.4/10 when I reviewed it on my blog, and I still agree with what I said there. Yep.

    24. Addiction - Dr. Noise
    This is the only song by Dr. Noise that I have. Which is surprising, and needs to be changed.

    25. "From Now On We Are Enemies" - Fall Out Boy
    I find it really funny that this is the only Fall Out Boy song on the list. If I had done thing a year and a half ago, it would be the exact opposite. Oh, how I have changed.

    And there you go! I'm hoping to create a list of my top 10 favorite bands soon, and put that up on my personal. I was going to do that today, but then I fell asleep. I've kind of become like a baby, because if I sit somewhere for too long without doing anything mentally stimulating, I will fall asleep. Do babies do that? I feel like they do.

    Oh! If any of you (other girls and/or followers) have Tumblr, you should follow me. My blog there is pretty much my brain in internet form.

    Lastly, can everyone please sign this? There's a bill that might be passed soon in Uganda that would make being LGBT a crime worthy of execution. And that's really scary. If there isn't a huge international public outcry, this horrible thing is going to be passed.

    Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!

    HAPPY HANKO DE MAYO!!

    Hey there,

    So before I begin spazzing about how incredible Starship is, I just wanted to remind everyone that it's Hanko de Mayo! Did you guys send Hank stuff? I unfortunately did not get a chance too, but I did watch him open a bunch of the stuff and it looked awesome :)

    But anyways, I'm so glad that this week's theme is Starship because that's what I wanted to write about anyways :P

    So, yeah, I LOVED IT! I thought it was SOOO FUNNY! And the songs were really good (Darren Criss, though you were not in it, you definitely left your mark)! And WHO MADE THOSE PUPPETS?? They're so cool!! And OMG JOEY RICHTER IS AMAZING! AND OMG LAUREN LOPEZ WAS HILARIOUS! AND OMG THEY WERE ALL JUST SO GOOD!!! * hyperventilates*

    Hokay. I'm going to cool it down now. I was just very impressed, and of course I've already watched it about 4 times :/

    Anyways, let's get to the questions:

    Favourite Character = Taz - I would say Bug because he's the main character and I adore Joey Richter, but Taz was just SO funny. If they did a spin-off with just her, I'd be watching :P

    Favourite Song = Kick it up a Notch - This was really really hard to choose because they were all really good and got stuck in my head (especially I Wanna Be, Get Back Up, Hideous Creatures, The way I do, and Beauty - wow, Sanja, way to just list pretty much all the songs..) But yeah, when Brian Holden came out with sunglasses and gun and all, this got bumped up to my favourite

    Favourite Quote = when Taz is listing to Up all the things he did that were tough and she says, "And that time you taught me calculus..CALCULUS WAS TOUGH!!"

    There were just so many hilarious moments though(Taz - "Oh, oh! DON'T throw a knife at you. Okay."; February - "Ew, fuzzy legs! What is this? France?, LOL or MEGAGIRL: "Cool it you do not know me skank.")

    Favourite Scene = can't decide, but I'm going to join up Act 1 Parts 4 and 5 and call that my favourite. The introduction of all those characters was really funny and entertaining and I love that song :)

    But yes, that's it for now. And yes, Starship is playing in the background as I type :)

    Can't wait to hear your thoughts tomorrow, Bridget!

    Current Mood Song: Get Back Up (from Starship)
    Currently Reading: The Book of Revenge: a Blues for Yugoslavia
    Today is awesome because: I finished my second last AP exam and am finally stress-free :D

    - Sanja

    P.S. Did anyone notice Joey's face as February is making out with the Bug puppet? Made me laugh. A LOT. xD

    Jess wants to be a Starship Ranger

    Hey girls, it's Monday!

    ...Yes, this week's theme is Starship. If you have yet to see it, try to find a spare 3-4 hours, and start watching it:



    So I have a few questions pertaining to Starship:

    *Favorite character?
    *Favorite song?
    *Favorite quote?
    *Favorite scene?

    My favorite character is either Bug or Tootsie Noodles, but I think that I'm going to go with Tootsie Noodles, because his name is just amazing. I've been rambling on about Tootsie Noodles. You know how he changes his name towards the end to Tootsie Mega-girl? I saw this amazing comment on the last scene, saying that his name is now Mega-girl Mega-girl. Because the second name is what you love, and the first name is what you DO.

    ...I died. I died laughing. Even my friend Jen, who has never even heard of Starkid before, died laughing.

    My favorite song is probably Status Quo, though I also really like Get Back Up. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness of Lauren Lopez? Because, seriously. She's just so freaking amazing.

    My favorite quote was said by Up. "Damn that G.L.E.E.! They're always making twisted abominations of everything!" I didn't even notice it the first time I saw this scene, and then when I went back and watched it again, I died laughing. This musical makes me die frequently.

    My favorite quote was in my favorite scene, Act 2 Scene 7.

    If anyone reading this has yet to see Starship, you need to go do that. Nao pl0x. Kthnxbi.

    Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!
