iSpy.. A 'Fro Leader

Evening all! Well tonight I am in a somewhat happier mood (Huzzah!). Today didn't really amount to much.. Did a couple of chores, tidied a bit of the old room and pondered as to why I can have a full wardrobe and still have no good clothes..? Crazy huh?
Well I really really really want to get to what the title is saying, because I think it's a matter of importance. Great importance even.
Well, some people may watch X Factor and some may not and I do. And there was a contestant on the telly and I have to say it- he could easily achieve world domination. Seriously. I am talking about Jamie Archer who sang "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon. And he was AMAZING!! It was such a heart warming 6 minutes and 26 seconds that I felt I had to say something! He really is a "Natural born entertainer" in the words of Cheryl Cole. He sang it so well and he totally got the audience involved- there in the stadium and to us millions on our living room sofas. Even I was singing along! That's saying something- my singing voice barely ever leaves the confines of the shower for the fear of someone throwing something at me (they were proven to be correct by the way- slippers are lethal!).
And this amazing talent paired up with the emotional music in the back ground was enough to set me off I will admit. It was just.. amazing. Really amazing. And I think another reason why I liked this guy so much is cause he seems like a normal guy. I know that everyone who enters are supposedly "average joes" (erm not! some of them need help. I swear), but this guy didn't have a sob story which is like 'Finally!'
Plus the insane Dermot was screaming "Simon Cowell is singing along!!"which made me laugh I must admit!
Well anyway, eat your heart out Taylor Swift! This Guy- Jamie Afro, has replaced the spot in the tab on youtube.com.

iSpy.. A Good Taylor Swift Song?

Well, this is my first ever blog. Wow. Pretty darn amazing if I do say so myself.. Thing is I thought I would try it because sometimes I just need to vent and this seems like a modern way of doing things!
Well, as the title says- I think I can relate to a Taylor Swift song pretty strongly. Also- please understand that just because I say I like one of her songs doesn't make me the anti-christ. Come on. I am one of the vast majority of 16 year olds who says "Oh my god yeah I totally hate Taylor Swift!" and who is actually standing there with one of her songs on repeat thinking 'I wish I was Taylor Swift.. Successful.. Pretty.. And I so GET everything she sings about!'. So yeah- I know i'm not the only one who thinks that. You know who you are! Anyway, back to what I was saying..
The lucky song that I have chosen is (Drum roll please-) "You belong with me". It is currently playing in a tab on youtube.com as I type (which by the way, quick thought for youtubers out there- why isn't there a repeat button on youtube?! it's so annoying to keep clicking and rewinding or replaying. Just saying...). So, I said I related to this song and I do. Really.
Why? Because like most 16 year old hormonal girls (I hope) I suffer from the painful ache of "That Guy" liking the wrong person, the right person obviously being you. Side effects include hours of "I'm so fat/ugly", looking in the mirror poking at self and drastic diets of "okay I just won't eat anything" (which by the way, last until we get hungry). So, back to the situation.. "The Guy" is being a poo head and is not liking me like I like him. It's not like he doesn't know I exist, because he does. He is very much aware of me, we're really close friends and I'm so happy about that. But it's just it's because we're such close friends he feels he can tell me when he likes this other girl. So I'm sitting on MSN happily enjoying my evening when said message appears:
"The Guy": So do you think "Wrong Person" likes me?
"Right Person": Huh?
"The Guy": Well.. I kinda like her..
Of course being a mature, sophisticated young woman I did the mature thing.
Slammed laptop shut and spent an hour in front of the mirror saying "Oh my god I'm obese"
On a bright side It's not like the "Wrong Person" is one of my BEST friends. But there is not bright side to this tragic love story (which by the way I'm convinced will end well if I just act exactly the same and don't tell anyone), because said "Wrong Person" is one of my best friends.
And it sucks because I find myself thinking 'Why?! You have all these boys liking you- why can't you just let me have this one?' or on a worser day- 'You are so wrong for him! You don't even know half the stuff I do about him!'
But the icing on the cake is... "Wrong Person" likes "The Guy" back! Major catastrophe. Seriously. It's like a frigging earthquake over here. Because lucky old me has to play the person in the middle. "Of course he likes you back!" 'Why, I don't know...'; "Yeah you should totally ask her out!" 'Please no please no please no please no'.
Well I don't there is anything I can do but listen to good ole' Taylor and hope that what happens in the music video (By the way she gets with "The Guy") happens to me too.
Ha.
