Zooey Deschanel,

I love your voice.
And we all knew I love her style, but this too?

I love her covers of "Dream a Little Dream" and "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" - sounds so old-fashioned, like something Marilyn Monroe sang in Some Like It Hot.

I've got a new girl crush hahaha

ScarJo's album is out soon too, I think in May, with the same kind of vintage songs but her singing ain't as good... but honestly, what do I know?






















PS -- this is what keeps me smiling when I don't even want to wake up in the morning:

Samantha's Life Changing Adventure

This sounds like an American Girl book doesn't it?

I had the most amazing time last night. The best night I've ever had in Rochester I think. And I told that to Synyster Gates this morning too. In fact, this whole day has pretty much me thinking about it haha Especially because [a] I can't get someone's smile out of my head, and [b] everything today has to do with people named Matt, Brian or John. Even right now, I'm flipping through channels and on MTV is "True Life: I'm an Identical Twin".

But back to the matter at hand, you see that picture? That is me content. Completely. And I've never been so content with not meeting a band before in my life haha

The show was amazing. Even after waiting outside for an hour in the frigid cold with ice was worth it. We got in the door and my fingers were blue. But once we got in, it was like a warm rush and it didn't take long to get the blood flowing again. Looking around, I made sure to find the merch table - since A7X has a tendency of having so bad ass choices, even for girls. But this time... I had 20. Shirts were 25 haha But I can tell you what did impress me... the merch guy, Matt! Yow. There was like three dudes back there and were all really busy when Meg and I stopped for a peek. But when we locked eyes, holy Christ, it was one of those heat connection things. But we had to find a spot for Bullet for My Valentine who was going on in like, 10 minutes. After seeing where the main stage area was, we decided to try the balcony. Loved it so much, we stood up there the whole show... well, except for my few trips downstairs to eye fuck my new fling.

Bullet was better than I expected. But Atreyu was amazing. The best time I've ever seen them. Even Alex said it was the best Upstate show they've ever had. Being present for almost all of them, I have to agree. Brandon always makes me want to shred anyhow, but Alex was great too. Plus... gives my eyes the second treat of the night when he took off his shirt. God bless strategically placed tattoos.

And the main event of my night, Avenged. After every song, I said: "Oh my God." I had a smile on my face the whole time. It was the best performance I have ever seen [which I also told Syn lol] I was just in awe the whole time. The pyrotechnics and lights were so amazing from the balcony too. Explosions and fireworks and all kinds of cool shit. Usually we are one of those lil dots down there, so it was a real treat to see everything happen at once. I've never really had an appreciation for the dudes on the side stage before until I saw how much Jason and Dan run around haha They do a good job. And that makes everything else just that much better. It's not just how incredible the guys were, but their crew like lights and techs and so on. It was just... an honor to see them. I was so impressed and so happy. I love them so much more now. I mean, they were always like top 10 favorite bands... but now I'm thinkin more like top 5 haha It better not be another 4 years before I see them again. I don't think I can take it.
