#x factor new zealand thoughts

    *I get somewhat really passionate on this topic so get ready*


      I just came across this story and thought "Is this real life right now?" OH MY. Allow me to tell you about this outrageous story..

      We all know what X factor is right? A somewhat reality based music show where they give people the chance to make it big with there musical talent. Well X factor New Zealand took a awkward turn on Saturday (Mar 14) when ex-judges Natalia Kills and Willy Moon (who are married) started harshly "judging" Joe Irvine's appearance. They were basically spewing a endless supply of nonsense at him. Irvine gave a performance of Justin Timberlake's famous song "Cry Me a River" while wearing a classy suit and tie and had his hair slicked back. Noting wrong with that right? Apparently for the married judges this made all the difference. Natalia Kills stated "Ladies and gentleman, i'm going to state the obvious. We have a Doppelganger in our midst. As a artist who respects creative intercity and intellectual property. I am disgusted by how much you had copied my husband. Do you have any value or respect for originality?" She then goes on with "You're a laughingstock. It's cheesy. It's disgusting. I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious. I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of her opinion."  Then there's her husband who said "To me, it just feels a little cheap and absurd. It's like Norman Bates dressing up in his mother's clothing. It's just a little bit creepy and I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face and then kill everybody in the audience."

<-Me when I read the quotes

   

     I wish those quote weren't real, but they are. I don't even know where to freaking start. When we look at Irvine we just saw him a man with a nice suit and haircut. For Kills, she saw a man who was just out there to steal her husbands "style". What the actual f@#k. Her calling out Irvine on being unoriginal and stealing is just so...stupid. I wonder how she acts at dinner parties where all the men are dress in suits. Does she goes to each and every one of them and call them unoriginal and accuse them for stealing styles? Oh so apparently wearing a suit and having your hair slicked back is Willy Moon style. She keeps wailing on Irvine on being unoriginal. X Factor is a show singing other peoples songs. How in any way is he being unoriginal? Let the man wear what ever he wants Natalia Kills!           What Willy Moon said to Irvine was even more outrageous. "I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face..." You don't flat out tell a guy he looks like hes a serial killer, especially when he did noting wrong. He even called Irvine Norman Bates which got me thinking. Kills stated that Irvine is copying her husband's style. Moon said that Irvine reminds him of Norman Bates. So....Is Moon basically calling himself the psycho Norman Bates? I don't even know anymore. As I reread his quote, he makes no sense. What is he trying to say.. i don't even know all I got was him calling Irvine a psychopath. So yeah they may of done this to get notice in the public eye, but to do it this way...Why are they so worked up on Irvine's appearance anyway? This show should be about the musical talents. That's it. 

This is why I love the internet, for these moments. Everyone banded together to call out these two judges for there bullying and demanded for them to be taken off the show...and it worked. I applaud Joe Irvine for keeping his cool on stage. Bullying is not fun and some people can't handle it.

# California Sterotypes

     A old family friend from England finally came to California. As she was here I realized she associated a lot of stereotypes of Californians to us. So today I would like to take this time to confirm/denied common stereotypes.

1. Do you surf all the time?
     Like really? Surfing is really tricky and I like how some people just assume we do. No, in fact most of us don't even surf. I mean we all wish we could somewhat surf deep inside us but in reality we don't have the time (and the traffic is to bad to go to the beach.)

2. Californians are addicted to driving everywhere.
      This is unbelievably true about us. L.A. is about 503 sq miles and thats not really counting "greater Los Angeles". With all that space, it just seems easier to take your car. To be honest, we have little public transformation. The metro is just beginning to expand to other locations across California. I believe as public transportation grows more convenient for us, more people will start using it. Yet it always nice to be in your own car where you can sing and say whatever you want.

3. Have you ever meet a famous person?
    I mean....not really? Its not like there out all the time in the most common places. If your lucky you will catch one. Personally I never met one in all my years living here...which has been my whole life.

4. Do know what seasons are?
     We know of it we just never really saw it. Southern California is mostly sunny all the time and some weird weeks where a bunch a rainstorms come and go. In Northern California you see more fall and winter but not that much of a difference. During storms if were lucky enough, we will get snow in our mountains. So yeah, we somewhat get seasons.

5. When it rains is it the end of the world!?

     Sadly enough most Californians don't know "how to even" when the temperature drops below 70 and a rainstorm comes. I means it really odd when it rains. But I like it, a nice change every now and then is nice. Some people can go over board by bundling up like its -20 outside while in reality its only 60. The funniest reaction to rain is actually when people from other places come to California when it rains. Here are some quotes from my British friend: "I thought it always sunny!", "Why is this happening?" and "This is so weird!!". So yes we are creep out by the rain but we all know it will be nice and sunny soon. 

6. You must go to Disneyland a lot right?
I would if I was rich...

7.Why aren't you that tan?
     Not all of us sit out on the beach everyday/ get spray tans. At least for me, I like to stay in and hide away from the heat. Getting a natural tan is hard work too. Try sitting out there, cooking in the sun, hopping your sunscreen hasn't melted off. Its not always that hot but you could do a lot more useful things for the time it takes to tan. And just personally I don't like how spray tans look.

8. Do you say "like, bro, way, and dude" all the time?
     I say "like" wayyy to much. See? I really like to use like in most of my sentences. I do know some people who says "bro" and "dude" in every other sentence they say. I wanted to use like there but hold myself back. It just seems natural and I didn't realize people didn't use those words so much as we do.

9. Road rage?
You f#*king know it.

10. Are you really into fitness A.K.A juice cleanses?
     I can see why people think that. California (or at least in southern CA) has a lot more juice places that offer cleanses. I means this new thing is slowly taking people by storm but not all of us do it. Yeah its cool to try it but most...at least for me...just don't care about so much.

    California is a lovely place to visit and most of us are not even close to the stereotypes some people give us.What do you think? Am I right or am I wrong about some things? (I probably am). As always, thanks for reading!

Not bad....

Love your face girl

  Most girls I know are really into makeup. It just became a routine for them that they must do. 

       I don't see why makeup is such a beloved thing among us women. Its pretty much just layers upon layers of random cosmetics on your face. Now i know its not all that bad. I just don't see any use of wasting my time to put stuff to make my face feel super awkward. In the hour you take to put on makeup you can use it to actually do something. Everyone beautiful...just walk out and own it. That's just my opinion. I know that makeup gives some people the confidence to walk out and take on the world. For me its just a super weird mask on my face. I'm kinda glad I grew up with 3 older brothers than 3 older sisters. Wow...imagine that household (in a joking sense duh). There be makeup everywhere and little fights about how Kate used Suzy's foundation and all that bull. I grew up where you wrestle everyday, work out favors so you can play on the Nintendo 64, and to not care about looks. 

       Its just like me to come out as that girl that doesn't use/like makeup. For some reason my mom was really, REALLY looking forward for me to wear make up. Like how she filled my stocking one Christmas with make up and everyone else around me got candy and gift cards. Yeah and I was only 13...(and you bet i faked my happiness). I kinda somewhat sadden my mom for not liking makeup. In her mind she thought we be all girly together and laugh in front of the mirror and talk about girly stuff and do each other makeup. She basically me wanted to follow in her footsteps of being a lady. But she was horribly wrong about me. Sorry mom. I guess what i'm ranting about is make up is to hyped to us women and many take makeup way to seriously. Just loosen up and have your nice face not be covered up all the time. That sounds creepy, but I think you get my drift. 

 You're already fabulous

My name is a lie (a small rant)

gab·by

ˈɡabē/

adjective

informal

1. excessively or annoyingly talkative.

    Like really....

(<---Monty python anyone?)

        True I talk a lot here..wait no that's a huge lie. Its more like I talk a lot when I type but when it come to real human communication I am the worst. I don't know why. Between friends i talk and act normal. Yet once it comes to talking and presenting something I turn into a lifeless human being. I wish I wasn't like that but I am. I tried everything in the book to get over it but i can't get rid of my awkwardness. I either freeze up and just stare back at the confuse looking crowd or talk really fast and make no eye contact. You want to know my own personal hell? Presenting in advance Spanish class. Yeah i went through that hell and i don't know how i survived. I slowly realized if I have at least one friend in the room I can somewhat talk sentences that make scene. But alone with a bunch of strangers.......Fuck no. Also I don't like engaging in conversation. If you don't talk to me i don't talk to you. That was basically me all through high school. Kinda sad saying that out loud but its true. So I am the complete opposite to what my name means. Yep....this is what I get for looking up my own name.
