Favorite things - Part 2 - "Guys"...

So, as I am currently watching the Eurovision song contest final. With all its tacky-glitter-clad –poor-English- pronunciation-singers and its neigbouring-country-friendly voting system, it still never fails to entertain or bring cringe-worthy-wtfs to one’s mind. The consolation is that there are always some “good” acts and catchy songs, so let’s not bash the concept to the ground. This year I am rooting for Sweden and “Euphoria”, hoping for a second place for Norway and Tooji with “stay” ;)  If you don’t care or know what I am talking about, dismiss it and continue reading.Instead prepare yourself for a hormone raging pic spam and wise words about my favorite male celebrities…

I’m not gonna re-rant my intentions for doing this (as I did do that with the first favorite things… post).

Criterias (no need to for the dudes to meet every single one):

- Hotness and attractiveness.

- I like whatever “art” (tv, music, movies etc) the person has created/been a part of.

- Stage and all-round personality (the little the public actually sees). Bonus points if the person is a bit "quirky" and “cool” (after my taste that means said persons mustn't seem too cocky or douchy… This criteria obviously doesn’t apply to those guys who are just eye-candy, which I’m not gonna mention too much of this time, hah. Idea for the next F.T post: “just eye candy”…) 

Here we go: My favorite male celebrities (in no particular order):

Let the Picspamgasm commence!

Recent favorites:

Darren Criss

         

- Guy is cute and hot.

- Before starring in Glee he starred alongside his mates in “a very Harry Potter musical”, a “Studentish-amateur” musical about the boy who lived. Point made and major cool points received.

- Guy seems to be kinda geeky, and well I’m weak for hot and nerdy guys. So again Darren, cool points!

This:

And this:

Oh, I would love to post every single of Darrens glee/other performances, but let’s not get carried away…

Donald Glover:

- Guy is a very talented: Rapper, actor and comedian.

- Guy is also kinda geeky (He actually mentions shows like LOST in one of his songs!) So hot and nerdy guys all the way!

This:

And this:

“Old” favorites (from their respective tv-show/movie eras):

Milo Ventimiglia

From his "jess" days <3

- Guy "invented" the hot-broody-hates-the-world-teenage-boy as Jess in Gilmore Girls.

- Guy is really good looking. Hah.

Adam Brody and Benjamin Mckenzie

Both pics from the show and both of them playing vid-games, deal with it.

- Adam in The O.C  as Seth Cohen, the comic-book nerd with a toy horse called
Captein Oats. 

- Benjamin starred as Ryan Atwood, adoptive brother of Seth and “bad boy” turns
"good guy".

- Both very cute.

Josh Holloway

Hmm, I wonder why most of the pictures that come up of the dude on google are shirtless... :P

- Played Sawyer on the show the guy everyone loved to hate, was the hot-
-southerner-bad-boy-
-turned into sort of a hero. Served “burns” to the other castaways like it was his "day-job".

Jake Gyllenhaal

- “I wish I knew how to quit you!” awww! (Yup, quote from Brokeback mountain).

- Cute.

Zac Efron

"Uhh, im gonna look like im in pain, I know the ladies love it" Hah.

- I forgive him for starting his career in high school musical, (though it was mildly entertaining,
I’ll admit that).

- My brother mocks me endlessly (still) for obsessing so hard over him a couple of
years ago,
but hey what can one do? Those eyes…. yum!
(ugh, that sounded like something Perez Hilton would say...)

Last but not least:

Brandon Flowers:

- Love the band. Love the lead singer.

Steve Carell:

- LOVE everything about him and his funny a.., uhm self ;)

- The office + any movie he has been involved with!

THE freaking END.

Lastly, wtf, Tooji came last on Eurovision? I did not expect him to win, but last place?
Come on! Yea, well my favorite still won, congrats Loreen! :) 

Peace <3 

Introduction to the Social Sciences meets LOST...

Countdown to my next exam: 3 days...

Don't you just love it when your curriculum actually bears some similarities to a TV-show you have been a huge fan of? Makes the remembering part so much easier... Sadly there is only a small part in my curriculum that bears this resemblance. But you take what you get, right? (Damn the 20 other theorists that doesn't get mentioned on Lost!)

So, here is something I made in like 15 minutes out of sheer studying "pleasure". Now I'm going back to the rest of the subjects, so yea...wish me good luck...

A+ worthy paint skills or what?

Being a "temporary housewife"...

Long story short: I am in my early twenties, I live with my mother and so far when it comes to housework all I am in charge of is cleaning my bedroom and the occasional pitching in when cleaning the rest of the house (seldom). Yesterday, my mom went on a 10 day vacation/family visit (abroad) for ten days, leaving me in charge. Now my older brother also lives with us, but in true "50's fashion", I am expected to keep the house "together". Just so you don't think I am a complete spoiled-twenty-something-brat, In my defence, I am NOT used to cleaning the whole house or doing the majority of the chores. Obviously this explains my personal "bratty-ness" at the age that I am... So the coming days will be awesome! Not.

To explain/complain further: Already today I have washed some dishes, actually a lot of dishes thanks to my two friends peeping in yesterday demanding food and cake (not that it wasn't ok, it was nice ya'll (; ). And after that I have scrubbed the kitchen floor, folded laundry and whats yet to come: buying groceries and making dinner. Did I mention how excited I was about  this?

Even if I am found of complaining, I can say that I have already after one day started to get more respect for my mother. She has done this way too long, especially for her two (grown up) lazy kids. And she does it with so much grace. All I can say is that these ten days will just be a "taste" of how real "adult" life is. Although, I do not plan on marrying someone who wont participate in all the household chores, so doing everything will not be an option! So in this day and age, we might claim to consist of 50/50 households, but is it really that "fair" in real life? I am not sure. I can't speak out of experience, but I personally think that women still do more household related work. And by looking at the "baking-trend" that has taken over large parts of Europe and America, the ideal of the traditional 1950's housewife can be claimed to have returned. So what does that say about us with all our feminism and gender equality knowledge?
I for once can't or wont try to answer all of these questions, and we are all aware of the huge development that has occurred in most countries. The overall social situation is significantly much better for both sexes, especially for women than what they were 50-60 years ago, but it also seems like some traditions and gender roles haven't changed much, even in these "feminism" days. I could go into a huge discussion about whether or not women are naturally more attracted to caring for others, housework and so on vs. Culture and its impact on training women to be more like this or that. But I wont. I have an exam in a couple of days, and (sadly) my own dinner to make.

So until my mom comes back, I will probably be more turned off at the prospect of marriage and so on, but I will definitely help out more around the house once shes back. And then I can maybe live up to the name of actually being an adult (an adult that lives with her mom, that is), cause clearly a "formal" age of legal majority isn't enough.

And just because google seems to be my best friend these days, I'm posting some fitting pictures and a link to Beyonce's song "Why don't you love me". If only the "1950's housewife" look came without the actual work... Then I bet we all would look like her...haha.

Favorite things - Part 1 - "Girls"...

Without any further ado I present to you (anyone?) the first ever Rantyhoney post on her favorite stuff! This being the first post has no intentions of ranking my interests at all; it is just a pointer of what I randomly felt like writing about at this present time.

With that said and out of the way. This post will list SOME of my celebrity girl crushes. Criteria’s for making the list (Wohoo, cause this is super exclusive. Watch out Hollywood!):

- I like how the person looks and/or acts. Based on whatever I have seen of both scripted roles and public appearances (Let’s call it being subjectively shallow).

- I like whatever “art” (tv, music, movies etc) the person has created/been a part of.

- I have at some point, or of something related to the person felt some kind of social/any kind of resemblance to myself (This obviously doesn’t count for ALL of my faves… haha!)

- They have inspired me with something, at some point.

- They are HOT, Like Beyonce would (probably more like what Rihanna would say but anyways) say “if I was a boy”…. Or if that someone has made you say: “I would totally change teams for you honey…” hah.

(Ps. All criteria’s must not necessarily be met by one/each person.)

Ok I think that covers everything. And yes, I know they are celebrities and why should one care so much about them, when they don't know you exist and blah blah blah… The point is. Celebrities exist and for some people they have probably made their life a little easier to cope with. They haven't made life easier (Definitely not in a practical way, like my mom says when I have my fan girl moments: “Will they feed you?, Will they pay your bills? Off course not, duh!), but they might have brought some laughter, tears or whatever into a slow, hectic, whatever kind of life. And for that reason I am “proud” (at least proud enough to make a blog where I write stuff like this, since I don't go around ranting like this to anyone, and for the few people who unfortunately have to listen to my: “Omg I love this and this person... “Suck it up! And for the rest of you, who don’t exist: “I don’t care.”) Back to the point, I am proud to say that - yes, I am a fan girl and yes, I am lame enough to even spend some (a lot of) time to rant, analyze and post pictures, videos of things/people I like or find “fascinating”! (When I actually (like always) should be studying. Ah the story of my life).

Finally. Top 6 female celebrity crushes (In no particular order!) + honorable mentions of new/old crushes. And sorry, this is supposed to be a light and fluffy post so no mentions of any political or any “serious” peeps.

Warning: Major pic-spam-esque stuff down below!

Rihanna 

- Girl is hot.

- Girl sings catchy songs.

- Girl has kind of a "F*** off" kind of an attitude, which at the right time and place is "admirable". 

Lea Michele 

- Girl has loads of TALENT.

- Girl doesn't look or "act" like the typical singer/actress.

- Did I say that girl can sing!?

- Girl is short, I'm short. 

Autumn Reeser

- Girl played Taylor Townsend on The O.C, a quirky, at times slutty (season 3 Taylor!) nerd-turned-bad boy-saving-OC princess.

- Girl looks good.

Alexis Bledel 

- Girl starred in one of my all time favorite tv-shows Gilmore Girls as Rory Gilmore, a nerdy, witty, smart small-town girl trying to achieve her big dreams. Oh, and Rory's best friend was her mother. 

- Girl is pretty.

Jessica Simpson

- Girl is ditzy, yes. Girl has starred in a MTV reality show, and several other, yes. But girl seems to be pretty "real". 

- Girl helped a 13 year old insecure me with her music (her album "in this skin", every teenage girl should listen to it).

- Girl is cute. 

Honorable mentions and recent obsessions/re-obsessions:

Alicia Keys

- Her music!! 

Michelle Branch

- Her music!!

- Seriously, her old/new stuff is pop gold!

Mindy Kaling

- She plays Kelly Kapoor on The office, need I say more?

- Girl has a new book out, which I am dying to read! (Will write more about it later!)

Lady gaga 

"Imma eat this sandwich in yo face bitch,  Nom!" 


- Girl is a pop-princess that sometimes dresses like a piece of meat (literally).
- Girl has catchy, but "deep" songs. No, really - "pokerface"? 


The end...

I wanna thank google for giving me the oppurtunity to waste time gazing at my computer screen. And my mom, for giving me the biggest gift of all, the gift of life. Thank you, now you can say your daughter made a difference.

With an over the top celebrity blog-post.

Ok, last thing:

I'm impressed. Now if I could only apply this much of an "effort" into other things...  

Like I explained to my friend. I just needed to get this out of my system. In blog-writing. So until the next excessive fluff post...

Peace <3 

THE END.

"You ever done something really awkard, and then you think about it for 8 years..."

Lol. I'm going to keep it short and just quote one of the top (youtube) comments posted on this video: "He just described my awkward life". (Thumbs up!)



If your only interested in the "nervous/shy-people" jokes, these start around 06:20. Though I recommend watching the whole thing, it's really awkward but seriously funny!

My favorite things.

In the name of more randomness, I have decided that I am going to be listing some of my favorite things.
And in the progress I'll be doing something that I have grown to appreciate, which is - you guessed it - making lists! 
As a former unorganized "flake" of  a teenager I am now a half-way perfectionist wannabe/listmaker/packs-her-backpack-the-night-before-school kind of person (the organized me - comes and goes though, you should have seen me and my planning skills in action the first day of January this year!).

So, just for fun and for the sake of future reference and documentation I will simply be writing posts about stuff/celebrities/music anything really that I like/love/hate etc. After all this is my virtual diary and I wanna show my kids (kids, huh?) what their mommy was fan-girling about in her twenties (plus all the emotional/angsty stuff that might pop up....) More precisely it is just for the sake of having it all written down somewhere, so I can easily read through it myself ;) Cause who is following this blog anyways? Haha.

So in the spirit list making! Lets listen to "my favorite things" from The sound of music! I'm kinda ashamed of saying this, but I still haven't watched it! But I will... soon! How can I not when it is on my "movies to watch list".

And yes, I'm posting the glee version too. Yea, I admit it I  am a sucker for American-mainstream-tween-entertainment. Sue me. 

What are your favorite things?


To be continued...

(Oh no) Justin what you got...

Pictures: musicroom.com

That is Justin Timberlake! No hate lil JB, but this Monday (like so many of my Mondays lately) as I was studying accompanied by youtube and music I briefly and totally randomly watched Biebers newest music video - "boyfriend". Now the song itself is okay. Only problem is that the video, theme and concept is  kind of a copy of Nsync's "girlfriend". Anyways, JB made me realize one thing (I'm not going into a fury about the copying thing, whats the point? The fans will buy anything :P I should know I am a fan girl myself, hah.. Even though I later read somewhere that JB claimed to have never even seen the Nsync video! How rude! hah.) 
Yes so, back to the point: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IS AND WAS THE MAN! I was a huge fan at the age of 12/13 and Nsync and Justin were and still are awesome. I had a hugeeeee crush on JT, I'm talking posters, fan letters and major day-dreamage!
I especially loved JT's albums: "Justified" (Thats where the title comes from, "(oh no) what you got") and "Futuresex-lovesounds", which I still consider one of my all time favorite rnb/pop albums (check them out, seriously!). Oh man, I could go on  with a looooong rant about the albums, describing each song on it, but I won't (since im currently, yup trying to *drumroll* STUDY :).

Ok. On a last note.. I'm just gonna post one of  Nsync's videoes and I wish I could post all my favorite Nsync and JT videos, but I'm going to refrain. (You know to preserve whats left of my sanity) Just do me a favor, and someday just go through all their stuff. It is amazing! (Ugh, early 90's and 00's music/memories flooding my brain!!)

And if you still hate it, well fine. At least you tried. 

 Fittingly this expression comes to mind:

"Personal taste is like your butt, it's divided" - "Smaken er som baken, den er delt".

(Another Norwegian expression that clearly doesn't work in English!)

So, if you guys have seen both JB's and Nsync's videos what do you think? Rip off of  or tribute? 


I think this girl said it pretty well: 

*Goes back to the Timberlake, and trust me it is very deep,wet and...* Wow, haha. If that doesn't deserve a "thats what she said" than I don't know. Sorry. Lol. 



Peace.
