Juno Blog and Journals

As far as I seen, it looks like the actress Megan Fox was able to finally scape of comedy movies with Lindsay Lohan and of Michael Bay's robots from Transformers. She's now in a horror movie written by Oscar winner Diablo Cody (Juno) and directed by Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux, but we've got to tell), the movie tell us the history of a cheerleader (yeah!), possessed by a demon (yeeeaahhhh!!) who likes to go out and kill all the boys in her school (yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!).

Couldn't they had released this movie, like, yesterday? To check out Megan Fox's new work, click on the following link.

ICE
My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
What a disappointment, I had it perfectly
What I was going to bring up suddenly
Stood like a stone as you stood quietly
You're making it hard for me
All I can do is freeze

What I mean is, all I need is
Just a little emotion
'Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice

I don't think you're knowing how hard this is for me
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly
So I swallowed my pride and I got on my knees
But still you just stood there as you stared at me
Your ego is getting old
How did you get so cold

What I mean is, all I need is
Just a little emotion
'Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice

I'm looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorry
It's a little late but you know I just want you to be happy
What I got to say to make you let me get away with it this time
I know you're upset and that you're happy just to sit and hate me
But I'll make a bet that you'll be better to forget about me
Even better yet I'll let a little light melt the ice, ice baby!

My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
I'm not the type to say sorry constantly

What I mean is, all i need is
Just a little emotion
'Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing
What I mean is, all i need is
Just a little emotion
'Cause all I see is you not feeling
And you're giving me nothing nice

I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice

Chapter Two

Soon the day ended, and I drove home. I couldn't even focus, because of this one girl. I was disgusted with myself, but I loved it. I loved the feeling of happiness. I haven't had it in awhile now. I couldn't wait to see her again. She gave me her MySpace...yay! Yay?!? Wowwww, I really am crazy. After all this thinking, I arrived home to the huge blue house I've called home for awhile now.

I turned the doorknob and was greeted to no one. I shrugged and headed up to my room. When I got to my room, I slung my bookbag in a random spot and turned on my TV. I was never satisfied with what was on TV. Everything was boring. So I turned that off and skipped over to my laptop on my bed. I remembered about Robyn and my fingers moved just a little quicker than normal just to send her a friend request. I felt obsessed, but I couldn't stop it. Soon, I found her profile. It was black with blue, green, yellow, and pink exploding hearts. I don't know why I was paying attention to this detail. My heart raced even faster when I saw she was on. I sent her a request, and within two minutes, she responded.

We talked until 6 PM, about ourselves. She was still very interested. Hopefully in more ways than one. That's when I started getting antsy. I thought about her and if she even thought of me as "boyfriend." I mean, we met only a couple hours ago. It's not like she would want me. No one would, and I figured out that one awhile ago. I decided to stop thinking about that. By this time, my parents and sisters were home.

Dinner was uptight. "So how was your first day?" my father asked me. He was so fake, he made me wanna punch him. "Nice. How was your day?" I asked without emotion. "Nice." he copied. My sisters were just eating, not saying anything. My mom was exchanging glances with my dad. I always felt left out. Like everyone knew something I didn't. My sisters looked at me like I had two heads. I gave them the finger. After three minutes, I couldn't stand it anymore. "Mom, I'm finished. May I be excused?" I asked ever so politely. "Of course, babe." she answered. I skipped upstairs, happy about being let free.

After being in my room for a couple minutes, I noticed something was off-balance. My beloved Nirvana vinyl was not in its spot. I ran to my sister, Audrina's room. I stood in her doorway. Both my sisters, Audrina and Raven were in there, gossiping or whatever they do.

"Give it back." I commanded. "Ugh, you ugly faggot. Do you really have to bother us right now?" Raven snorted. "Give me the damn vinyl back." She reached over to the desk to retrieve it, then threw it at me. I turned on my heel to walk out when she murmured, "Ugly faggot." I stopped and said even louder "Slutty bitch" and walked off. It always killed me that the one place I'm supposed to fit in the puzzle unconditionally, I couldn't. My family. I couldn't even talk to my older brothers because they just couldn't like me. I decided to end the night early and went to sleep.

The next day was pretty warm, about 65 degrees. I dressed in my skinny jeans and t-shirt. My shoes were my signature gray Converse. I loved those things. Soon, I thought about seeing Robyn again. We didn't have to go to school, it being a staff development day or whatever. I walked outside to get away from everyone. I walked up around the corner of Winnebago and Guadeloupe. I saw some figure walking towards me. I quickly realized who it was. My heart started racing. I tried so hard to just calm down. She smiled. It was the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time. I needed it.

"Heyy Brendon, I didn't know you lived down here." she welcomed me. When we reached eachother, she hugged me. I didn't want it to end. It was the most amazing hug I ever felt. She really meant it. "Uh yeah, I always have. It's strange we've never seen eachother." I answered, trying not to trip up. She didn't let go of me; her left arm around my back. I was so tempted to take her into my arms and plant my lips on hers. She's just...everything to me. "Sooooo...uh...who's your boyfriend?" I asked. I assumed that Robyn being who she is, she would have one. "I don't. I just...don't see any guys that are actually for me. But recently I met this guy, and he's really nice. Everything about him is amazing to me. I think he may like me too. I'm pursuing him." she answered. She looked at me with the warmest expression. "This guy, he's really close to me already. Very close. It's scary." she continued.

I feel like I've bored you with these long chapters. Sorry about that. I kinda lost my writing streak. Anyway, JUNO IS AMAZING! I'm watching this movie and there's this song called "Sea of Love" by Cat Power. It's a real cute love song so that's why it's the title of this chapter, also. It's on my playlist if you really care to listen to it.

Thanks again,

I have a cool job. Don’t ask me how I ended up here, because when I was six years old, I wanted to be a trapeze artist and, six years ago, I was coaching pee-wee soccer and throwing killer parties for kids' sports teams. But, here I am and not only did I get to go on the Vans Warped Tour this past summer (!!!) but I’ve met some of the most inspiring people this year. Let me say this: I’m not a gusher. I get very, very quiet and sort-of wide-eyed around people I admire, fearing that they’ll be able to read my fangirl thoughts with their super-awesome-being powers. I try to tell myself to play it cool but, unfortunately, I don’t have a poker face. These are the Top 10 “wish I had tinfoil” moments of 2008. —Bree McGuire, Resident Buried Treasure Finder, breesays

10. Ashlee Simpson liked my hair.
I interviewed Ashlee Simpson just before Valentine’s Day, and she started out the whole shebang by complimenting my hair—despite my inch of roots. Now, Ash is not exactly my style icon, but as a pop-star who constantly has to evaluate her own look, I felt the comment held some weight. Or maybe she was just being polite. Either way, it was cool.



9. I became a Jack Barakat fangirl.
Right after this interview. Enough said.



8. Hayley Williams says 'sup.
I’m at the New Found Glory video shoot for "Listen to Your Friends" (as an extra) when the warmly dressed sprite that is Hayley Williams shows up to support her man Chad Gilbert. After a few takes I hang on the sidelines to chat for a bit. While talking to a mutual friend, Hayley looks at me with a fleck of recognition and asks if I’m from Buzznet. She shakes my hand and says, "Nice to re-meet you." I don’t think she knows how cool she is.



7. Anthony Kiedes introduces himself.
I was in the elevator leaving the Four Seasons Hotel after an interview, and this dude asks me if he knows me. He says "You look familiar." He looks vaguely familiar to me. I say, I don’t know? He asks my name. I tell him, then shrug and say that I’m a blogger? "World famous," he asks? I laugh. No. Local celebrity? I shake my head, laughing more. Well, what’s your name, I ask him. He extends his hand. "Anthony." Oh. Suddenly I see him as taller, and with longer hair. I just asked a Red Hot Chili Pepper to introduce himself.



6. Ryan Russell does a photo shoot with me and Mark.
OMG famous band photographer did a photoshoot with US. I was so nervous about being the subject of a shoot that I went super incognito with my Halloween outfit – I don’t even really know what I was. A combo of Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn and… a cat. In case you are unaware of the talented Mr. Russell, he took these MCR photos.



5. Diablo Cody signing at Book Soup
So I had this vision in my head that I would go to this reading, meet Diablo (again, as I got to interview her briefly at the Juno press junket), compliment her on some item of clothing, which would spark a conversation and reveal our fantastic potential to be besties. I would become her protégé and she would give me a bunch of hand-me-down leopard print jackets.



4. Leslie Simon comes to work at Buzznet
Leslie Simon wrote Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture. Now, I don’t really fly my emo flag, and I often do horrifically non-emo things, like shop at Hollister (you can take the girl out of Orange County, but you can’t take O.C. out of the girl…) but anyone who has ever seen my LiveJournal knows that I’ve been using emo lyrics to describe my feelings since 1999. Leslie Simon is to me what Chuck Klosterman is to hipsters. Or something. I should mention that Leslie is also my editor, and this paragraph is probably raising a combination of brown-nosing suspicion and a delight at the thought that this will mean many packs of peanut M&Ms to come.



3. Andrew MacMahon ate lunch at the same table as me.
As I was sitting there at lunch, in some state with miserably hot weather (AZ? TX?), nibbling at my baby corn, I couldn’t help being overwhelmed by the fact that this dude wrote "Konstantine." How many moments of emotional resurgence was supplemented by this piano ballad? I could never count. Leslie Simon likes to point out that he also wrote "If U C Jordan." I like to ignore that tidbit. Sure, I interviewed him at a later date, but at that time I had a job to do – I could not contemplate heart-achey Something Corporate lyrics while I picked at my lentil loaf.



2. Met Tom DeLonge.
Blink-182 was the reigning pop-punk band of my most formative years. Hearing Tom DeLong speak (no matter how self-congratulatory) is kind of like hearing that official movie announcer voice. But instead of a booming "In a world…" it’s a nasal-y, "I feel so…" I met him when I interviewed Angels and Airwaves this year, and it was epic. He asked me if my lipring was infected and then indicated I should make out with his (band mate) David Kennedy. He makes a few inappropriate jokes during the interview. All is right in the world.



1. I beat Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump to some awesome shoes.
I went to a Fresh Only Bakery delivery in Los Angeles and I was the recipient of the very last pair of Clandestine Supras. I was so excited I made a videoblog. I thought maybe 50 people would see it. As it happened, one of FOB’s viral sites picked it up and about 4,000 people saw it. Including Pete Wentz, who remarked, "You’re the one who got the shoes…" when I interviewed him and Patrick a week later. AWKWARD.

Yeah, yeah, I've been naughty not updating lately. Sorry.

My Chiodos/Silverstein tickets came in the mail the other day. I haven't been home in forever since first I was visiting mum and packing stuff and such, and now I'm babysitting the cats again. I had to stay up all night last night so that I could actually be awake to sign for a cheque. Then I went to sleep and slept until like four or so.

I called Erin to see if she wanted to go trick or treating with me. We were either going to be two general guys, Trace Cyrus and Mason Musso, or something else undecided. We ended up going as a couple from Kentucky. She was a guy with a mullet and a ridiculous fake moustache and I was rather convincingly pregnant. Which I kind of enjoyed.

We first went around Oak Park, and then to Pleasant Ridge to see Mrs. Smith, which is always fun. She was handing out Jolly Ranchers, which rocked because they're totally vegan. SCORE! Anyway, Mr. Smith wasn't there because FHS had a football game, which was super dumb because it was Halloween.

At this one house, this guy was like, "Well I can tell what you are, haha," and looking at my belly. And I was like, "What?" and made it seem like I actually was pregnant, and he was so embarrassed. It was hilarious. We wondered how many people actually thought we were pregnant.

After PR, we went to 7-11 because I wanted a slurpie. Those cravings, ya know? Haha. Anyway, after that, we went to Royal Oak where they were handing out whole big candy bars, which I really couldn't eat anyway. Apparently Erin's cute older brother Bill was somewhere around there... fun stuff.

After we were done in Royal Oak, we went to see KT and Don and stuff in Ferndale. We stayed there for a while. It was pretty funny, because KT was all poking my belly and then after a minute she was like, "Whoa, wait! Please tell me you're not actually pregnant, because that totally feels real!" Then Don came a bit later and was like, "Wait... you're pregnant?" and we all started laughing and he was so confused and finally his friend was like, "Clearly it's fake because they're all laughing."

A while later, Joe finally came. As soon as he walked over, Don goes, "Hey Joe! Jordan's pregnant!" and he's all like, "Whatt??" and he goes, "It's fake.... right? .... .... right? ... it is fake, right?" it was funnier than sin. It wasn't until we were all leaving that KT was like, "It's not real Joe." It was so mint.

After we left, we went back to Erin's and watched Juno while I sorted out my vegan candy from my non-vegan candy and gave Erin the non-vegan pile. Too bad there weren't any blue slushies to go with my Juno-ness....

The Way Brothers have been getting a lot of press lately—both for their foray into the comic world and for bits and pieces on the progress of the next My Chemical Romance album. Gerard is already on his way to conquering the next medium, though, as he conceptualizes a movie adaptation of his comic, "The Umbrella Academy." O RLY?

i'm not sure what to say right now. i wanted to update earlier with a journal and you know what...i should of. my brain is on low battery power and is not working to well so i can't think of anything to write. oh yeah, there were these two things i am so wanting to get from fred flare.
i want this cupcake beanie:

and these adorable retro style shades:

i don't care if i am poor, i can still window shop or look online so whatever. i found out though that fred flare is opening a store in brooklyn, ny. i wanna go on a road trip now up to new york just to go shopping. any takers? haha.
i did watch like two movies today so i got in some quality stacey time and it was nice to just sit down and relax and not worry about bullshit. i watched juno for the first time and i must say ellen page is just adorable beyond words. i'm in total love with her. hahaha! another movie i watched was john tucker must die and that movie was okay but wasn't one i would recommened to everyone.
i wish my webcam was working cause i drew this adorable heart on my left pinky and its where and how i want my tattoo to be. grrr, i may just have to wait then and re-draw it and take a picture tomorrow.
expect more blogs soon. i keep wanting to write so expect more random thoughts and just list of things i want to buy. i am ALWAYS in a shopping mood. enough said.
one thing i am very thankful and something that just made my weekend. i found out that i have true friends and real friends. i am thankful that my eyes are open and the skies are clear. i'm ready for a stroll in the park. lol

what is your favorite movie to watch while sitting in bed?

xoxo

   i watched the TC'08 awards last night and i thought it was a pretty good awards show. there was some cool people who got nominated like Will Smith, the Gossip Girl cast, and my personal favorite, Paramore. but there was some underserving people the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, and the ever so unfabulous host....Miley Cyrus. i really dont have anything against Selena, but i dont think she really did anything special to get nominated for an award.(i guess im only capitalizing proper nouns. im too lazy to capitalize everything else.)

      there was one part that made me sick. guess whos opening performance?? yep, thats right, Miley's. it was kinda funny though because when she would try and head bang while singing and it looked like she was having little miny seizures!! that bitch has gone epileptic on us, haha! i guess that was her desperate attempt to look cool. god she sucked big time hosting and not to mention her little dance of between the M&M crew(Mandy and Miley) and the AC/DC crew(adam/chu dance crew). the only reason why Miley's teem won that was because Miley is the host and they just cant let the host loose, can they? but lets not get into making fun of miley, cuz once i get started i cant stop (plus i already hav 3 journals mainly consisting of dissing her.). lets talk about PARAMORE!!!

    my personal favorite band, Paramore, were nominated for 3 awards but they didnt win any of them!:(  the faget Jonas Brothers took all of their awards. they are so undeserving and not even that talented. just because they can strum a few chords on a guitar, sing like large black women, and hav tween girls worshiping them dosent make them anymore talented than Paramore, none the less the other nominees. I now hate the Jonas Brothers more than ever before. Paramore is 10x more talented than those wannabe rock stars and should of got atleast one award. Jonas Brothers got all 6 that they where nominated for!! im pissed. but mabey Paramore will win next year. lets just hope :)

but anyways, for the choice comedian Adam Sandler won that one. i admitt he is pretty funny, but i think Will Ferrel should have got that award. he ruled in Stepbrothers(so ive heard) and in Semi-Pro.

   another one of my favorite parts was when they said anounced that Juno won best chick flick movie. it sucked that they didnt have time to present it though. i was looking forward to seeing Ellen Page at the TC'08.

i hope next years TC'08 award is a little less disapointing for me that this years.

       

Well, it is if you're stupid. I'm not saying every teen that gets pregnant is stupid, but you are if you saw Juno and said "Hmm, it would be a good idea for me to get pregnant too."

Seriously, I don't understand it. She was ridiculed and outcasted, and only two people at her school would really talk to her. She was only happy because her parents and friends supported her, and that's definitely not the case with everyone. Nothing she said made pregnancy sound appealing at all.
The number one thing that disproves this movie promotes teen pregnancy:
SHE GAVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION.

She didn't want to get pregnant, so she gave the baby up, pretty much right after she had it. She had no emotional attachment to it, and she knew she wouldn't raise the baby right.

Quite frankly, if you wanted to have a baby after seeing this movie, I feel a little sorry for you.

So far, my summer has consisted of nothing but Doritos sandwiches, reruns of The People's Court, and movie watching.

Recently, I saw Hancock (which contrary to popular belief, was not about the signing of the Declaration of Independence). This superhero blockbuster stars Jason Bateman, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. I mentioned Jason Bateman first, because that guy is unbelievably hilarious. Sorry, Will. (Because we all know that Mr. Smith frequently checks out my page.) Anyway, the humor was fantastic, and the film was well made and has gained MANY fans considering Hancock was never a part of Marvel Comics. (Don't get me wrong, though. Spider-man is still my main man.)

Looking for a movie to watch yourself? Try "An American Crime" starring Ellen Page. That's right, "the girl from Juno." (In my own selfish way, I wish that movie hadn't blown up as much as it did, but that's a matter for another journal.) Wiki it for the details. Gosh, I love Wiki.
