So, Youtube is kind of a big part of my life because I follow a lot of vlogs and other videos, and that's basically where I get all my information about stuff. Today I happen to be stealing ideas from a couple of people, namely Phil DeFranco and Tyler Oakley, who both do favorite things type videos. So here are a few of my favorite things recently with links and explanations and such. Also, I say "so" a lot, and I'm never conscious of it until I start blogging and then I go back and try to start the sentence without saying "so". So there. See? Don't judge me.
1. A Very Potter Musical. This was one of the most fantastic things I've ever seen. I watched it with my friend Hanna about a week ago, and it was just the best thing ever. For those of you who don't know, it's a fan-made musical spoof on Harry Potter starring Darren Criss. The whole thing was done at the University of Michigan (I think...) in 2009. There's a sequel that I haven't watched yet, but the whole thing is up on Youtube or their website, which is linked to up in the title.
2. Michael Buckley. A lot of you probably know Michael from the What the Buck show, where he basically gives his views on a bunch of gossipy news stories. It's freaking hilarious, because he's fabulous and loud and funny. I love it. Just don't watch it if you have a headache.
3. The Phantom of the Opera. I'm not sure what to link to here, so I just won't. Anyway, I started being obsessed with Phantom of the Opera in the 7th grade or so when I saw a video for Music of the Night and sort of melted a little. Since then I've only seen the movie twice, but it's on my bucket list to see it live. I also tried to read the book once, but it was really boring so I quit after like three chapters. But if you haven't seen this movie yet, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's really powerful and the music and acting are all fantastic and the last time I watched it I cried three times. Love it. So much. And we're playing Music of the Night in orchestra and my stand partner was laughing at me because I was so excited.
4. Skinny Jeans. For a while I actually swore I'd never wear skinny jeans because I could never fit into them and never found any I liked and thought the whole idea was stupid. Well, I now own a single pair of skinny jeans! Basically, this year was my resolution to try on clothes that I had previously thought I couldn't pull off and see what happened. So I went to Delia's and tried a pair of skinny jeans and they are awesome. They fit really well and are super adorable. I think that skinny jeans have evolved enough that what used to be a normal straight leg is now skinny and there are varying levels of how skinny you can go. Like at Delia's, they go Flare, Bootcut, Skinny, Super Skinny, Jegging. They might have another level of skinny in there somewhere, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. So there! Denim.
5. That kinda weird new style of t-shirt. In my quest to pull off things I didn't think I could pull off, I tried on a couple of these t-shirts that are sort of cropped-ish and have flowy sleeves and stuff. They're a little strange, and they're supposed to be kind of shapeless. Of course, I now am the proud owner of four of these shirts in three different styles. Again, I blame the evolution of fashion. These shirts are definitely a newer style, because previously all shirts were meant to do was show off your figure. Okay, all shirts in stores that I shop at. Now it seems like we want to show off our top half less and our bottom half more, which is why we have things like skinny jeans and whort shorts. That is not a typo.
That is all, because I can't really think of anything else I want to share with you. New blog soon! Pinky promise. Also, imaginary prizes to whoever can find the most run-on sentences in this post! Ready? Go!
