Hello my babies. Before I begin I would just like to ask if you sometimes find yourself thinking, "Wow, Emilye has way too many blogs. I don't know if I can handle reading that craziness so often!" If you do, first of all...I want a name. No one should feel that way about my blog! But...we all have imperfections so if that thought ever does come up just remember that I'm trying to fill all of your canteens with enough Emilye to last during my 18 month absence. I bet you're feeling REAL bad about being annoyed by my blog now aren't you? Crying yet? As expected. Welp. Onwards and Upwards.
VENTILATION TIME!!
I'm VERY upset with grooveshark right now! (Mom. Dad. That's a website that you go to with the goal of listening to music) I have supported grooveshark all of my days! Or at least all of my days in which I was aware that grooveshark existed. It's a fabulous website that has allowed me to virtually eliminate spending money on music from itunes!
Now before you get all "ethical" on me just know that any guilt I felt for listening to music online in most likely a less-than-legal way went out the door when itunes decided it was good enough to raise song prices from .99 to 1.29! That was the day the music (at least from itunes) died.
TANGENT WHILE VENTING!
Itunes doubly pissed me off when they started advertising "Watch your clocks! Nov 16th at 12:01 am the world of music will never be the same!!!! Something will happen that day that will make you question whether the world you were previously living in was really worth living in!!!!!! World peace can take a back seat to the goal we've just accomplished!!!!!!!! APOCALYPSE NOW BABY!!" (I swear that's verbatim what it said. Plus or minus a few exclamation points.) Now let me just further explain that this happened the semester I was living with Mel and Kip, so I had very little in my life. Minus your adorable, loving child of course Mellie! So I was very excited to find out what itunes was doing! (I'll admit in the back of my mind I thought free music for all!) When I got up that morning I excitedly went to my
Well enough about me. What was I saying? Oh right I was telling you how I've been betrayed by grooveshark. During the whole Spotify fad (which, at least for me, was over before it started) I defended grooveshark to everyone simply because it didn't have annoying women telling you how "piracy is so out" after every few songs. No adds. That was grooveshark's saving grace. What did I find yesterday when I signed into grooveshark? Something asking me for $4 to avoid any adds for a month! Who do you think you are grooveshark? Itunes? I, of course, selected the free option that had one initial ad and then no ads until 4 hours of listening. Now I haven't hit 4 hrs of continuous listening yet (mainly because when I'm told I have a limited allotment of something I ration it like I'm trapped in the middle of a desert and it's my last 5 oz of water), but I still have to suffer through the initial first 15 seconds of some commercial thing. (Granted one of their ads was a music video that was actually an awesome song that I now love, but that is besides the point!) Is it too much to ask for unlimited access to all my favorite music for absolutely free?! I'm not an unreasonable person! I'm simply a person who doesn't remember the days when you only had the option of buying an entire album or no album at all. (Always no bunny at all!)
Alright. Venting done. Now on to the purpose of this post. I was chatting the other day with my dear friend Alison Megan Adams Tensmeyer (all four names needed). Well between complimenting my blog by saying things like it's "hilarious, to die for, legendary," (true story) AMAT gave me a fun suggestion. She said that I should start doing some of the segments Ellen does on her show. Well obviously I LOVED that idea so I started to jot (that's a weird word) down some of the segments I remembered and looked up some others I'd never seen. Some of their titles are 'What's Wrong with these photo's?' Photos, Clumbsie Thumbsie, Bad Paid-for Photos, Bad Paid-for Tattoos, Dance Dares, Oh Hair No!, Funny Web Videos, and my personal favorite segment What's on Cee-lo's lap?
Well obviously some of those things will take more time and effort than others so I thought I'd start off small with my own version of "What's on Cee-lo's lap?" First off, here is a clip of what the segment is like on the show:
Hilarious right? So I decided we would play a slightly different version of that game called, "What has Emilye photo-shopped into random pictures of her family?" And by photo-shop I, of course, mean simply pasted into the photo on paint because I don't have the time or capability to make it actually look good, so why try? But I thought that would've made the title a bit long. Okay now is when you have to be careful not to scroll too rapidly or you will see the next picture before you have time to guess! Which would be the end of the world.
For the first picture we'll start off easy...What has caused Brittanye to scream and freakout?
That would be One Direction!!! (I just couldn't not include them in this game)
Next...what is Elise trying to see down Solana's shirt?
A cactus!! Anyone? Did anyone guess cactus?
Now we have...what is Mel looking at in such a judgy way?
A Jack-o-lantern! Which makes sense. It was Thanksgiving time.
What is Brittanye creepily caressing?
Mrs. Potts! If anyone got that one I will give them money. I tried to reach into the most random crevices of my brain for that one.
I think we have time for one more...what is Elijah about to snog? (For people who don't speak British that means kiss)
A kangaroo! Which can be dangerous.
Well there you have it! I hope you enjoyed that game and hopefully there will be more to come. I'm currently working on collecting some good "Clumbsie Thumbsie" material...so get excited! (On an unrelated note if you guys have any funny texts that involve your phone auto-correcting something you were typing into something completely different feel free to share them with me) I'm always amazed by the amount of things I can find to say when I start my blog, thinking it will be short and simple. I guess you could say I have the gift of gab. If you were a 60 yr old women. Until next time...goodnight and goodluck. (I know goodluck is two words, but that would've ruined the symmetry)
Blessings.
The deadliest of blog posts.
ReplyDeleteHahahah!!! Oh I love you midge.
DeleteAt first I thought I had a shot at winning the game, since I guessed spiders for what Britt was freaking out about...and then all the pics just got totally random! Mel should've been judging bad fashion or Zumba people. Yes, I would like to be holding a Zumbite in that picture.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I continue to use Spotify without commercials. I'm a maverick.
Um, when I was texting Dana from a new number, she asked who it was. I was trying to say "It's Ana" and the phone auto-corrected to "It's Bob"
Thanks for the laughs!
If they were actually logical it wouldn't be fun! And I thought of putting a giant spider for the one where britt is holding something, but I thought that visual would give her nightmares.
DeleteI'm with Ana, I totally should have been judging socks with sandals, Ana's armpit stained exercise shirts, etc.
DeleteAnd I laughed out loud about "It's Bob." :)
Also, let's play the song game! The word is falsetto. Go! Now the word is jot!
ReplyDeleteWhy am I a "minion" and not a "member"?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh dad! You win for the funnest moment every time! It's cause the blog lets me change what that is called and I thought minion was a funnier word :)
DeleteHah, Dad is going to stop following you! And Dad, you don't follow me, what the heck?! Also, I know Dad will never know that I replied to his post!
DeleteOk, this is the best thing ever!!!
DeleteThis is to difficult of a read for me.........I'M OUT!!
ReplyDeleteForever!!
