A Dark Knight

I said I'd keep my mouth shut, so here's a picture instead XD
Frankie Jonas is A W E S O M E and so cute :)

I went to see "the Dark Knight" today. After my friend literally forced me XD, no just kidding. But I haven't seen the first movie and I'm not at all interessted in seeing it. Then why would I go and see the sequel ?!?!
I knew this movie would be one of the most spoken of, this whole year because of the sudden death of Heath Ledger. I mean that's the biggest PR 'trick' ever! XD Then I watched the trailer and maybe I felt sorry for Heath or something but I thought Joker was a very interessting character. So I went for it. (I like going to the cinema anyways, I like the smell XD)
ABOUT the movie XD.
I quickly learned why it was a 15-year-rated movie, hö-hö. It was many times when I had to look between my fingers or through my hair. (I'm such a wimp XD) In general I thought it was an alright movie (people starts to throw things at me), I guess I'm just not really into this twisted violent action movies.
I liked the fact that it was not predictable, which relly is the worst about movies. The movie was really twisted, it really made you think how twisted can people get? "How twisted can this Joker guy get?", everytime you think it's enough he comes again and does something worse. At the same time I think the Joker is (kinda) funny and interesting, I'd be really scarred everytime he came on screen because I knew he'd do something crazy like slit someones mouth open. XD Though I felt that the Joker scarred the crap out of me I find his quote "Why so serious?" ironicly appealing. If you don't think about the quote in the context with the Joker. But just otherwise...Why so serious?!
I got very emotional at the ending with the ferries about to bomb each other, OKEJ I'm not going to spoil everything if you haven't seen it. After seeing this movie with all the cruelty and hopelessness, I was surprised by the people actions. It made me feel "Wow there really are hope, people are not all that rotten". But it is the truth right, in a world with all the intrigues and lying, you must believe that people are good because it'll make yourself stay good.

When the movie (finally) was over. I was like "OMG thought the movie would never end!", really there were two times I really thought the movie would end but NO it kept going. But it wasn't like boring (långtråkigt) but I was like what else is going to happen now? Everyone is freakin' dead XD (Okej don't read that, spoiler! XD)

Imeem-struck

Ops, I totally forgot to blog. XD I've been so "busy" with Imeem and such. XD (I hate that expression, what does...and such really mean?)
I got so caught up on it because I figured out that JB actually wrote comments here and a few days ago I talked to Chelsea Staub (starrs in j.o.n.a.s, minute men). Yes like more than a couple of words!
They've shot 10 J.o.n.a.s episodes and are waiting for the boys to finish their Burning up tour to shoot more episodes. Huh? I got that information directly from the source itself ;) (hoho, bragging)
Plus there's this cool friend tracker too, so you can see comments/blogs (and so on) your friends have made and to whom. (some would say stalking...XD) And for me being online for and more I've gotten more friends, which makes everything more interesting.
So if I haven't posted a blog in 2-3 days, you'll find me on Imeem. XD
www.imeem.com/tiffanysan , check the comments out ;)

So guys, what do you say about the weather huh?! :D Personally I think it's great, I know loads of you think it's uncomfortably hot (even when you've been to Asia where it's at least 30 C everyday...caugh carro caugh) Finally I can work on my tan (doesn't sound like me XD) and I got so depressed with the lousy weather anyway. Maybe soon I can take my first swim this year.
We've planned to go to the beach tomorrow, so get your fingers crossed for warm water! XD (I'll dive in even if it's 10 degress, watch me XD)

I came home from Helsingborg today after being at the festival and all. It was great I really that festival feeling. At some good food and bought cool stuff. The Malmö festival is going to great.
There's just this one thing that annoys me so much on festivals. I know, much people is inevitable but haven't people learned how to walk and behave properly?! You know what, babies doesn't fit in festivals neither does baby carriages! By the stands (where there are most people), you do not suddenly stop and stand still! People constantly walks back and forth by the stands, therefore if you want to stop and talk or whatever, step further away from the stands!

Guess who we saw at the festival? SPONGEBOB !!XD

And about the so random entry about Jonas Brothers and me, earlier. Really I felt that I needed to get it out, it was all the time in my head better to get it out. So that makes up for all the little JB updates on every entry, so now we'll have some JB silence....for a while. (my readers cheers)

Jonas Therapy

[pre-entry]
I went shopping with my cousin, brother and sister a few days ago. GUESS what I found?!!? the Jonas Brothers CD! It was just by the entrance, I don't know how I could miss it. It wasn't until we were heading out that i saw them. (Why is it mroe expensive than the regular CDs? Regular price at Rocks: 159 kr)

Do you know what I have to get this out of me once and for all. Then I know it's out and I don't have to think of it anymore.
What's up with this major obsession of mine? I'll prove it to you that it is not just some irrational bullshit. XD

Never, never in my life I've been so crazy for a musical artist/band than now. (I guess you can call it a obsession..) Or maybe for anything, or what about Harry Potter? (Oh yeah!) Maybe I'm just that kind of person that needs to have an obsession to stand my pathetic (?XD) life.
[being obsessed and why]
But I don't think I've ever gotten to this extreme kinda level with Harry Potter that I (clearly) gotten with Jonas Brothers. Where you constantly think and needs to see/listen the object of obsession, when you desperately need anything with them on, when you can sit for hours listening/reading about them or just when you constantly need to talk about them.
But then again" Jonas Brothers" and "Harry Potter" are two different things, I do think being "obsessed" with a musical group is easier, because these are living people, living people you can meet, living people you can see new (paparazzi) photos of everyday, living people do interviews and all those things. What's true is that "Harry Potter" was more than just the books, there were movies, video games and so on. Even if the actors of the movies are living people they are not the characters from the book. The characters in the end will not do anything more than what is written about them in the book. Aren't there always this distance between reality and fantasy? Maybe you think all those are not reasons to not be obsessed with a book. I am saying that it is easier to adore something that are living people(especially musicians) with it's own will and face.
(wait, I'm spacing out XD......)

I thought this was kind of a "13 going on 20" (fjortis) phase. I thought it was something that wears off you know, the older you get. But this obsession is bigger than ever (well I am not that old...yet). I never thought I'd get trapped in this boyband phase, because really, I think they are ridiculous! But music evolves and this boyband happens to play and produce music that I like. So in the beginning I was cautiously (XD?) listening to a few songs and just listen to them, you know. Then eventually it became music videos, pictures, interviews then I was lost.... You can blame it all you like on the boys and their looks, but excuse me for being a girl! It's true the boys are gorgeous (I'm not going to lie XD) and in this business image really is everything. I think (know) there are loads of (silly) people listening to Jonas Brothers just because they think Nick is the hottest guy on earth (and that disgust me really). But I, personally, know that there are more than good looks and good voices, because these guys have talent.
[there are more than only good looks?]
You can say I am being subjective because I'm so into them but this is the truth. At the age of 6 Nick Jonas got discovered for singing at a barbershop, at the young age of 10 he writes a song together with his father which would be played at the radio before a record company discovers the young boy. What is so great about Nick is that he has not only a fantastic voice but for being so young he is serious and mature.
This is the song he wrote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mywZGjkxr6c .The song is about he praying for joy to the world and that every child will have food and warmth and so on, listen to it and you'll see. I was listening to this song one night and found myself being fascinated by the sincerity in his voice and the meaning of the song. When I was 10, most I was concerned about was not having enough of Barbie dolls! (I mean come on)
Then Nick's two older brothers joined and they became Jonas Brothers (Yes they really are brothers!) and they started to write songs together. ALL of their songs are written by the brothers together or themselves seperately, except for the covers they've done. That's one more reason to like them, I mean how can you not like someone that write songs that are, how should I put it, perfection! XD (Disagree, ask the millions of fans they have! ;))
[resaon: caring]
There are thousands of other reasons why I love the Jonas Brothers and I'm not going to torture you with posting them all on here (maybe I'll make a seperate entry for that..XD). But one of the major reasons is that they care, they care about their family, they care for their fans, they care for the environment (Tiffany screams out loud), they care for their co-workers. They care genuinly, you may ask how the hell I know that. I have my methods and if I tell you the amount of time I put down for JB you'll get scared....and I've met them remember? ;)

The Jonas family is one of the tightest you'll ever see, the 6 of them (dad, mum, Kevin, Joe, Nick and little Frankie) always travels together. On their never ending tours (like WYLMITE tour going on Europe tour with Avril going on Burning up tour) they are always together on the bus tours. The family always gets their own bus. They love their mum, they are really good older brothers to Frankie and their Dad is even their manager.
What is really awesome with the Jonas Brothers is that they are really grounded and thankful, despite the bullet fast success and millions of crazy fans, they stay grounded. I think it's a sign of a well-balanced loving family. They even have a motto that says: Live at the bottom even if you are at the top.
[reason: caring for fans]
Jonas Brothers knows ,and keeps reminding us, that it is the fans that have made all this happen and without them they wouldn't do all the things the do now. (You think: And you bought this crap? NO they really mean it) I know all musicians says they love their fans but I don't know if they really mean it, Jonas Brothers does. Everything they do they do for the fans.
-When they did the Hannah Montana tour and the tickets sold out in 10 seconds and they knew that loads of fans didn't have a chance to buy tickets, they did smaller secret shows after the tour to make up for the fans.
-They always make sure that the real fans gets the best spots on shows, by saving those tickets for only fans to buy.
-When their shows get sold out, they always try to get more seats or even put in extra shows.
-They never reject a chance to do meet and greets, because they love to meet the fans in person, at the meet and greets they always meet at least hundreds of fans and they can stay for 2 hours in front of their hotel or leaving a show to give autographs and take pictures with the fans.
-They greet warmheartedly every single fan that shows up (my own experience) with hugs, handshakes and they always ask how you are. Which make you feel so welcome and appreciated. WHY? Because they love their fans.

What kind of fan am I?
I've stated how I felt when meeting them for real (on previous entries) and that I behaved like some random fan. Why didn't I scream, why didn't I faint? Why didn't I...
I've reflected on all those things (oh believe me, I have) and came to the conclusion that (first of all) that all people reacts differently and that instead of being in love with the boys (you know I can say that I think Joe is drop-dead gorgeous and blablaba but I've never really like crushed on them. All those "Mrs Nick Jonas" and "JoeIsMyMan" are just kinda silly) I've cared for the boys and I haven't realized that until I've actually met them.
Before I've always been so anxious about the expanding fanbase and false fans and all that but now I've changed drastically. What I care about is the boys really, that they get all the support and that every show they do are as awesome as for the fans. I wish them all happiness and I hope that they keep doing the things they love.
I love listening to their songs because they make me feel so happy and ecstatic, that all I want to do is sing and dance. I love seeing the boys, everything from interviews, commercials or musicvideos because they always have such energy and they can be very serious but at the same time hilarious.
Jonas Brothers makes me happy and why would I refrain from something that make me feel good?

OBS: I do have proof for every statement I did in this entry and if you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you ;)

Do you want me to blog about how to comment blogs?

Guys, you know what? I do check my blog (almost) everyday to check up comments and so on, why don't I post a new entry then? Well, I feel it's kinda a waste of the previous entry to post a new one when the previous haven't got any comments yet. (Did you follow that? XD)
Haha, is it because you know I'll eventually post a new one anyway. XD
But IF you for some reason read any of my entries please comment. I know some of you think commenting is difficult because you don't know what to write or you're embarrassed to write because you think my readers or I would judge you? XD I will definitely NOT and I wouldn't think my other readers will either because face it they're not that many XD (Hö-Hö) (Do you want me to blog about how to comment a blog?! XD)
You know what, I'll be really happy even if you just leave a smiley and your name as a comment because then I know you've read it and it makes me more motivated to write or think of new things to write about. But I do love all of you who keeps reading and commenting. Tiffany loves YOU.

Haha, I really do want to go back to Jonas blogging XD. There are still so much to say...but I'll wait! So I don't bore you guys to death with the ever ongoing Jonas Brothers. JUST ONE THING, Kattis this is for you XD. I found this video ages ago but still thinks it's funny and really good. It describes the brothers very well and Joe is being hilarious! (We've missed that!)
Okej here goes; Behind the scenes of shooting the Burning Up music video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEfQiw9WReA&feature=related while you're at it why not watch some of my youtube videos. XD Tell me what you think, because I'm having doubts now. I'm really not that good and I don't know what I thought when getting a Youtube. I've got some ideas to improve my videos but I don't know if it's worth the bother, maybe I'll just cancel everything and go back to my blogging?

Can you believe it? It is less than a month (a month minus 1 day) now until school starts again! For once I thought summer break would pass slower when I have all these things to do, but no one month left and I still have loads of things to do. (Do I? Have to check the list again)
I'm learning how to play "I Gotta Find You" from Camp Rock, it is not how Joe plays it but I think it's pretty good verision. Have to work on it more though. I really want to upload vids of me playing "Kung-Fu grip"," Hey There Delilah" or "Eternity". Which one do you prefer the most? XDI've been playing them for so long now (a couple fo weeks? XD) and I have to play new songs in order not get bored, huhu.

Huhu, I took this picture when hiking with my class in the woods somewhere XD The sign says: Living Children.... XD

When Youtube didn't made the cut

Haya, just uploading some more videos. This video, annoyingly, couldn't be uploaded onto my Youtube due to reasons yet unknown. *angeeerrr*
Anyway this is a short clip of JB performing Goodnight and Goodbye at the Annex in Stockholm 28th June.

And this video is taken only because of Elin, I know you're sad that you couldn't go to one fo the concerts but there you ahve a clip of Avril playing Complicated.
(I do think it's pretty funny that there are so few people waving their hands even though Avril waved hers. Well, it came to mind that those must be the parents XD)
