5 songs to make you forget Justin Bieber

| Viciously Sweet

Hi my name is Lauren. I’m 24 years old and totally not interested in current pop music because of things people call Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. I have never heard a Justin Bieber song in its entirity and I never plan on it. But for some unlawful reason the internet is always packed full of his biberlicious face, and I’m quite sick of it.

I wish I could Eternal Sunshine the entire world from this phenomena. But I can give help to others like me with this bit of musical solace.

1. “One Headlight” from the Wallflowers. I’m sure Justin Bieber wasn’t even alive when this was originally released. This also proved with the help of Jacob Dylan that it is possible to be a heart throb without being a child.

2. “Underdog” by Spoon. There maybe a hidden mariachi in this video, but no hidden bieb’s:

3. “Freak of the Week” Marvelous 3. I was in love with this song and Marvelous 3 when I was in middle school. I put this on like every mix tape I made for my friends. I just had a penchant for guys with tattoos and guitars, okay? And I never had interest in those slicked-out backstreet boys…Obviously I would make a super bad current teen.

4.”1979″ by the Smashing Pumpkins. Surely a world that gives us “Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness” would certainly never Bieber us.

5. “Meet Virginia” by Train. I picked this song because I heard it yesterday on the radio, and it made me think of when the song came out and there wasn’t a Bieb in sight.

Have a Bieb free weekend!

half of my head has this song stuck in it

| Viciously Sweet

Seriously. This has been stuck in my head for 3hrs so far.

I am not like in love with Mr. Mayer especially because he seems a bit skeezy. But I like the lyrics in the song, he always gets me with his lyrics. I guess he’s a good musician but a bit on the James Taylor side when it comes to his ego…

Anyways here’s the song… its playing here and in my head:

And half of my heart wants a paper ring:

UPDATE:

32 hours later this song is still stuck in my head!

Tale of Eye Makeup Terror

| Viciously Sweet

Okay this is not really a scary story.

BUT, it is scary if you are me.

I’m currently not being allowed to wear eye makeup because of my weird dry skin. So I have only been allowed to wear mascara and blush pretty much. And as people know I have never not worn eye make-up outside since I was 15, and I find it terrifying.

And now I look like I’m 17 again… 

But I didn’t thankfully turn into Zac Efron.

This last weekend I was asked when I was going to college by a teen, and also asked out by the same teen. ICK ICK ICK. I told him, “I’m really old, and this is not right.”

So to look like I’m age to vote I’m trying to figure out if I can get fake eyelashes. Perhaps I may look like a gogo dancer, but at least I’ll look like a real grown up.

The End.

That was today’s story with Lauren!

Isabel and Clay in Wonderland

| Viciously Sweet

There is no better way to spend a summer day than lounging at the wonderful Disneyland resort.

While everybody else is doing their 9-5, i.e. drawing buildings and selling dip (not pronounced Depp) Isabel and Clay frolic about the most Orange of counties playing about with large whimsical cups.

*Also is Isabel wearing the blue heart jewel from Titanic? I didn’t realize they had gotten to that stage in their relationship.

**Good Luck on your presentation Isabel

Stories about Elliott

| Viciously Sweet

I have a cat his name is Elliott.

Elliott likes to do many things, like eating, breaking my mother’s possessions and sleeping.

Here likes to sleep on towels, my head, my pillow, the window sill, his kitty scratchy tube, any person he can sit on, and….

The Tale of Jimbraham Lincoln

| Viciously Sweet

I didn’t forget about Story Time with Lauren!

Today I bring you a poem about a Jimmy/Abraham Lincoln hybrid:

His Name is Jimbraham Lincoln,

He wakes up in the morning yawning and blinkin’…

When he looks at the ladies he cannot stop winkin’

and he likes to end his days with some tea and fried chinkin’

Oh Fuse, I am in Misery

| Viciously Sweet

So I have been without my Fuse TV for 12 days now and I feel like I’m falling so far away from current music videos, or entertainment that fits my attention span.

So I either have to find them online or listen to Jimmy tell me about them.

Today I feel I must discuss 2 videos one described to me by Jimmy and one witnessed on Youtube, by 2 very different artists that kinda look similar:

So Jimmy super does not like this music video for “Misery” by Maroon 5. He told me it was 4 minutes of Adam Levine be all up, over and about some girl. SO, it’s a typical Maroon 5 video:

I am cool with this, and I think as always the song is catchy as hell. I also like that he is being beaten up in the streets of LA by some girl who looks like she way made up by Amy Winehouse. Ooooh also she likes knives, stabs his hand and also beats him senseless! I’m not so offended by this.

 On a side note: I am just not so cool with Adam Levine grinding and staring at me, it’s happened before when I had really good seats to a Maroon 5 concert, and I don’t ever want to be that close to him ever again.

The next music video is “Crossfire” by Killers-less Brandon Flowers (whose solo album is lusciously titled “Flamingos”). I do like the song and I do like the Flowers as previously stated about 20 times in this blog…but why is he in these predicaments? And why does Charlize Theron have so much time to rescue him? Why is he so happy to be in a straightjacket? Why is he not in this costume:

Eh, I still enjoy it.

Please don’t be Helpful Youtube

| Viciously Sweet

For some reason when you start typing in “Simon and Garfunkel” on Youtube it thinks you really mean “Single Ladies” from Beyonce until you finish the word “Simon”… then it asks if you really mean Simon Cowell.

Seriously Youtube, Simon and Garfunkel are pretty famous, maybe even more so than Miss Beyonce Feyonce Knowles… remember Mrs. Robinson, or “the Graduate” thanks internet.

But also I think youtube has inspired me enough to put a ring on S&G.

ring it
