Yeah so, I'd respond to some of what dear Gracey wrote, but I either have no idea what she's talking about or I can't add anything.
ANYWAYS.
This week was another sad week for Miss Britney Spears. She was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance for "mental help" apparently. I would like to request a moment of silence when you read this in honor of her mental sanity! (And Gracey, that means you too.) We all know we love her deep down inside.
So right now, it's really cold here and my parents refuse to put on the heat. Instead, they just wear 27 layers of clothing and let me tell you something, it's not flattering. I decide to be fashionable and freeze because fashion is more important than personal comfort.
Also, Heath Ledger's autopsy reports should be coming out either this weekend or early next week, so we'll have plenty of time to store tears to cry when we hear the news.
That's all for now, maybe I'll post later =]
-Trey <33
]]>Okay, so there's been some weird sort of internet coup. Vox is suddenly different. :Gracey looks around with shifty, scared eyes, in a panicked sort of way: In case you didn't know this, Trey, I have this weird sort of change-phobia, where all things that change kind of send me into a panic for a while.
Like when my mom painted my room while I wasn't home? Yeah, the fact that my room was suddenly orange freaked the hell out of me for a while. Then the paint fumes cleared my system and I got over it.
So, this video. I swear, I'm planning on doing it tomorrow. However, there's the slight issue that my grandmother is coming for her annual three-week January visit, which questions my privacy. I mean, yeah, it does have the good effect that I have to clean my room, so you'll see clean space as opposed to miscellaneous crap behind my video self.
But if she's floating around sketchily, as people in this house are wont to do, I'm not lip-syncing to Britney Spears. Sorry, buddy. Not happening.
Actually, there's a long list of things that would cause me to not make that video. I shall review some of them: my death, if I mysteriously have a date, nuclear armageddon, my house catching on fire, computer crash, worldwide pandemic of TB. The list goes on and on.
Expect a video tomorrow/Sunday.
Alright. In light of our agreement/disagreement session, I have several things to comment upon.
First: I'm not sure I believe you about the comics. Everyone loves comics on some level. Even me. And you know how many times I've read/seen Pride and Prejudice. So, I think that underneath it all, you love them just a little.
"Russians make the best artists, like Rachmaninoff! And Ayn Rand! YAY for ATLAS SHRUGGED"
Could you have picked any more unrelated Russians? I mean, unless you picked LENIN and Ayn Rand. Also, I'm a fan of The Fountainhead and Anthem. The latter especially; short but sweet.
I cannot believe that you said the words "I have a rainbow fetish." I hope you relize that I didn't mean it in that way. I meant it in the utterly embarassing, I'd make even a pathetic six year old girl, please someone drown me sort of way.
Yes, that way.
I can't believe you've never seen Ghost or American Pie. NEITHER? REALLY?
I mean, yeah, they're both the most terrible movies in the history of forever (except maybe The City of Joy, also starring Patrick Swayze, as it turns out), but everone's heard of them, and most everyone's seen them. I will admit, I have not seen Ghost in its entirety, but that could very well be because I had to go and throw up.
So, as for music right now, I'm not actually going to talk about a particular band. I'm going to break out a megalith of musical wealth. Use it wisely, people.
Naturally, I refer to the godly Pandora.com. What Pandora Radio is, is an online radio of sorts, where you can listen to 'stations' based entirely off of the kind of music you like to hear.
What you do, is enter the name of a band that you're listening to. Then, Pandora's magic elves will find you songs that are either by said band, or have similar influences to said band, or sound similar to said band. You can create and save any number of stations (right now I have about five), and edit or delete the stations you already have.
The only catch is that you have to sign up using an email account, and that you can only skip so many songs per hour. After that, you have to listen to everything they throw at you, or change stations. But other than that, it's quite possibly one of the more excellent things in life. I'm telling you, people. This stuff is golden.
You really can't go wrong with Pandora.com, if you like anything from Vivaldi to Maximo Park, to R.E.M. to Snoop Dog.
Here's some conventient linkage:
Other than that, I have seven exams coming up in less than two weeks, and my brain is slowly atrophying. Soon I'll have zero grey matter. I can only assume that, at that point, my posts will stop. I'm sure Trey will relay the news of my sad inability to think.
Actually, it probably won't be that sad for me. I'll probably wind up being very stupidly content, and just eat chocolates all day, and not even worry that I'm fat and lazy and stupid, because I'll be too mindless to ever realize it.
I'm kidding people, kidding.
Mostly.
Love,
Gracey
]]>So here are my twelve responses to Gracey's twelve part beast post (You are one pretty amazing girl to write all of that and not get bored after awhile).
1. I despise ALL comics, as they're mindless pieces of literature. Seriously, why would anyone want to read about these beefed up, UBER (I'm talking UBER with the two dots of the U, that kind of UBER) MACHO men who are obviously doped up on steroids. Never mind genetic mutations. I've never liked the superhero movies/shows as well. They're so boring. The good guy ALWAYS wins, and gets some defenseless, stereotypical 1950's girl. Blah.
2. We all have exams Gracey. I have mine Thursday and Friday of next week. I have three finals (Spanish II, Algebra II/Trig, and Physics I) and a midterm for my Research II class. I'm all ready to beast! I just really don't want to study. I hate studying for big exams, it's way to broad. I prefer concentrated tests, not those involving gel electrophoresis prep/loading (God, I'm so bad at those). I'm also pretty mediocre at plasmid mapping, which is funny, cause it should be relatively easy. Lucky me, that's like half of my research midterm. Gonna faillllllll.
3. YAY for Ellen!
4. Indeed we do. Our views are topping 60 for all the videos combined! Beastsssssssss.
5. As slow as molasses.
6. It's true! Gracey's ego is really large, and quite frankly, fun to pet. JK SMILEYFACE. But still, you should tell people. It's already spreading that way! Join the craze! BANDWAGON.
7. I think you should do a music thing like that Gracey. We do agree on some artists, like the following one (to a degree) and Editors and Rent!
8. I really like her song Fidelity, but that's about it. She is ravishingly pretty though and Russian <333 Russians make the best artists, like Rachmaninoff! And Ayn Rand! YAY for ATLAS SHRUGGED!
9.
A. Is James Marsden gorgeous? Gracey says: Yes. Trey says: ABSOLUTELY.
B. Mayo or Miracle Whip? Gracey says: Neither. Oh, I have to pick one? Mayo, then. Trey says: Neither, as both are gross. But I guess Mayo too.
C. Ketchup or Mustard? Gracey says: Mustard. But why are these questions all food related? Trey says: Mustard all the way.
D. Converse or Vans? Gracey says: Converse. Trey says: VANS OF COURSE! Cutest shoes ever. Though I did recently buy a pair of Converse.
E. Mr. Darcy or Mr. Rochester? Gracey says: MR DARCY! Trey says: I forget who Mr. Rochester is, so Mr. Darcey cause he's sexy.
F. Seven or Eleven? Gracey says: Seven. Duh. Trey says: Neither, but I guess seven.
G. Cell phone or AIM? Gracey says: AIM. You know why/who. Trey says: AIM! It's free.
H. Painted nails or no? Gracey says: Eep. No, I guess. Trey says: YES. I <3 painted nails.
J. American Pie or Ghost? Gracey says: Well, if you were tying me
down and propping my eyes open with splinters like the way they did in
the Odyssey (which is the only way I'd watch either) I suppose American
Pie, but whoever made these questions (:cough:gracey:cough:) picked
really, REALLY crappy movies. Trey says: What's Ghost? And I've never seen American Pie.
K. Facebook or MySpace? Gracey says: Facebook, hands down. Trey says: Facebook is pretty, so yes.
L. Unicorns or Leprechauns? Gracey says: Now, if I were a six year old girl with a rainbow fetish, I would definiltely pick unicorns. And, if I were creepy, I would definitely pick leprechauns. However, I am neither (well, I suppose the latter is debatable). I mean, leprechauns are nasty and skanky and devious, and unicorns can't be beat for sheer so-freaking-frighteningly-cheeful-ness. However, leprechauns are genuinely frightening, and unicorns are only too fucking cheerful creepy, so unicorns. Trey says: Pink unicorns because I really do have a rainbow fetish.
11. I'm almost done with Are We There Yet. Really weird writing style that man has. Kinda good book, though incredibly disappointed there's no subtle homosexuality. And Julia's a ho.
12. THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING. Best song ever, especially in chorus. It won us countless awards, even though we were terrible.

Hearts and hugs,
Trey
In light of the recent flurry of video posts--two from each of us--I've decided that it's time for something textual. Also, I'm definitley procrastinating on doing my challenge. However, Trey, I'm implementing a rule that you can't put off a video for more than a week if you're just dreading the challenge. If you're really ridiculously busy, that's another matter.
But, let's just say that you're really dreading having to lip sync to Britney Spears. You can't avoid that for more than a week.
Oh God, I don't want to do it.
I detest Britney Spears so much.
A consolation, though, is that nobody really watches our videos. It's not that big of a deal. So, I don't have to worry about a lot of people seeing it and making fun of me. I mean, you could be making me do something really truly horrible. Like, I dunno, wax my chin. Or eat a blenderized happy meal.
(Yes, some of us make refrences to B2.0. You didn't watch it, Trey, so you don't know what's happening. Ha.)
Trey, I'd like to hear your opinion on the television show Get Smart. And the upcoming movie (OMFG I can't wait for it. Love Maxwell Smart, love old TV shows, love Steve Carrell.).
Love,
Gracey
]]>After waiting about 6 hours for my parents to leave my house (they're so [insert naughty word] annoying) so I'd be alone to shoot my theatrical break through, it finally happened. A star was born! Here is my second video, in which I get down on my knees and profuse my love.
And sorry Gracey, my challenge IS pretty bad, but I'm gonna laugh my head off. I'd have fun with it if I had to do it! Don't murder me in my sleep once you find out what it is.
<3333
A fantastic thing (at least to us) is currently happening:
The Trey and Gracey front are forming a united front at Trey's house. We're hanging out together! I mean, technically I'm the one who's posting this, while Trey torments his brother, but it does mean that we don't have to comment off each other. We can DISCUSS what we're going to say before we actually say it.
We have nothing to say.
(Britney Spears rocks! --Trey)
(There are so many things wrong with that statement that I cannot even begin to describe it.--Gracey)
Anyway, we were working on making a video today, and discussed Sweeney Todd (and Trey's embarrassing pillows) at length, so there's no need to recap.
(Besides, it can be summed up in one word: GORE.)
Anyway, I say anyway SO MUCH.
:sigh:
I'm tired and my brain is running out of steam, but it doesn't matter anyway, because nobody is reading this, so I'm just gonna go listen to Jonathan Coulton who Trey hates.
Love,
Gracey
Since Gracey felt the need to post some Maximo Park, I feel the need to post some music that is very near to my heart. This enchanting song is called Flux and it's by a British band called Bloc Party. They are pretty amazing and the leader singer, Kele, is pretty much gorgeous. I was thinking about posting some Britney Spears songs from Blackout (BEST ALBUM EVER), but Gracey would have my head. Sorry, this website refuses to play iTunes purchased music, so I have to use youtube! =[ If you go to our main page, you'll find the link under "Links" as well. Though, you should figure that out.
