Concerts, Bands, Writing, and Sickness

Dude! Hey. ;)

So, obviously it's been a while since I've posted. And, uh, lets see. I had another book review published on Miss Literati:

And I got them to review my book as well and they had some super nice things to say. Everyone's been saying super nice things about it. I really appreciate it.

I've been sick since Wednesday which is the day I was supposed to have my wisdom teeth removed. So, for now, I'm still wise. ;P My appointment is rescheduled, with Dr. Fallon thank God. Since I've just been laying around the past couple of days, I've been reading Les Miserables for the second time, which is a big honking long book in case you didn't know. 1,260 pages. It's big, but it's good. I'll tell you I got into it because of Nick Jonas because I'm honest and unashamed. So there.

This has so much to do with everything I don't even know where to start. Okay, speaking of Nick Jonas, when he was on the X-Factor however long ago I obviously had to watch. Which is when I found out about Emblem3. I was kind of interested in them. Then I went to see the Jonas Brothers this summer at the Mixtape Festival. And Emblem3 was there. They were really good! Drew took off his shirt. And I started to get into them from there. They were going to do a cd signing, but I didn't want to go because, for one, I wanted to make sure I was there when the Jonas Brothers were, since they were the ones I'd come to see, and also I didn't really know anything about Emblem3. I'd watched that one episode with them on the X-Factor, but that was it. I didn't want to hop in line just because they were famous. I hate when people do stuff like that. I kick myself over it now, but it was the right choice for the time.

So, MTKO, their opening act was on first, then Emblem3, and it started to rain. They had to stop the show and we had to go under the stands. Emblem3 finished, then Boys II Men, then the Jonas Brothers. They were amazing, but I was a little sad because you can just tell they're different than they were, you know? It's just this unignorable feeling hovering over you. I was cold and wet so we left after that. But TLC and New Kids on the Block played after words.

Anyway, I started listening to a couple of Emblem3 songs on Youtube after that. Christmas I got a gift card and decided to buy their CD. And now, I would jump at the chance to meet them. Especially because of this weather, I love their beach-y sound. They're pop but they infuse so many different styles into that. Pretty much all day Friday I was watching their interviews on Young Hollywood. And decided I ship #Dracy. ;) And also I've decided that I no longer know whether Wesley or Keaton is my favorite. 

They just did the first show on their first headline tour. I would love to go, but money. Also, if you're a member of their website, which is $20, you can enter this contest to be their Valentine's Day Date.

Yeah, I wanna enter.

(I'm not a member.)

Moving on from my boy obsession, yesterday I finally went out and went to the Olive Garden with my cousin, grandma, and Poppy to celebrate my Poppy's birthday. It was really nice. :) Today we had an extremely impromptu party for him at my house as well.

So, tell me, what music are you into? Ever been to a concert?

Stay-well, I was going to say stay cool, but it's snowing so never mind. Stay warm actually.

Oh yeah! And also speaking of the X Factor, did you hear it's cancelled? I'm so, so, so super bummed because me and my mom wanted her to enter it. Plus One Direction and Emblem3 came from X Factor. And who wouldn't want to meet Simon Cowell, I mean....?
