Whatsername

CHRISTMAS IS COMINNNGGGGGG AAAAHHHHHHHHH <3
it's definietly the best holiday of the year!!
-more about our schools way of celebrating christmas in a bit; After I tell you a bit about my current obsession XD

I'm currently having this obsession with Green Day. Hahahah but the problem is that i don't have their new album but I really want it, and yeah.
So last 2 weeks, I downloaded 'Last Night On Earth' from GD's new album '21st Century Breakdown'(which isn't quite so new anymore, then I started to listen to all their old songs, and now, I'm currently obsessed. I can't help it, they're so good. I even figured out the meaning of their rock opera album 'American Idiot'. Arrrghhh. And I love 'Nimrod'. It's so awesome! Green Day may be old, but they still rock my world! I need their new albummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Anyway, today in particular, I'm obsessed with their song 'Whatsername'. It's so good, that i'm going to post the lyrics here.
And so here they are;

WHATSERNAME

Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry old what's his face?
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
I must confess
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
From so long ago


And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time.

Whatsername is the 13th track of American Idiot. It's like the last chapter of the rock opera, so if you don't really get it, it's okay. It doesn't hold much meaning to the story without the rest of the album, however, to me, it holds a slightly more personal meaning.
What makes this song really great is it's lyrics, music, everything. Except that it's really hard ot sing because it's so low!! It's practically a work or ART!!!!
I love the song. The rest of the album is great too!!
My favourites from the album include; St.Jimmy, Give Me Novacaine, She's A Rebel, Letterbomb, Homecoming, and of course, Whatsername.
Thats like half of the album. The rest are awesome too, but the ones mentioned above are the best of the lot.
In fact, the whole album is a piece of literature which tells us a story, and would be incomplete if any of the songs weren't there.
I won't say what I THINK the story is because you'll have to figure it out yourself.
I know that some people only listen to the music, but if you pay attention to the lyrics too, you'll find a whole other dimension to the album. The music is great though, trust me.
TRE COOL is SO AWESOME! SO IS BILLIE JOE! AND OF COURSE MIKE DIRRRNNNNNTTTTTTT!!
Hahaha, whatever.


Now, about school. Just a quick update thingy.
So today, we had this Christmas celebration thing where we were all supposed to perform the 12 days of Chrstmas(with modified lyrics XD hahah) but we didn't end up performing it because of this misunderstanding we had about the time slots. Anyway, I was half relieved, half upset because I knew it would have been great to perform for the very last time with Minji, before she goes home to Korea to pursue her talent in entertainment(I'm kidding btw, but I sincerely think she will make it) :P. so we didn't perform, and instead stayed in the class talking about horror movies, scary stories, death, and more death. Some of which were true accounts.
How did we start talking about horror? We had just heard that our performance was canceled so we just sat around in class doing nothing when Monique picked up the guitar and started singing 'Santa Baby'(Monique has a GREAT VOICE!!!!). Anyways Ella got all scared because she recognized the tune from P2. At first I didn't see any sense in why she was freaked out but then Ella started singing the tune really slowly and I realized that it really did sound creepy.
Then we talked about 'Santa Clause is Coming To Town' and how freaky that song is. Hahaha. So from there, we went into horror. We even re-enacted the killer Santa scene, where MinJi was sitting on a chair singing, with Jessica coming out behind her as 'Santa'. Hahhaha.
Anyway yeah. The rest of the day was pretty boring. We watched futsal matches for the RICS cup games. Then at about 3.00, we returned to class to exchange gifts.
I gave jusuf my gift, then got my gift, which turned out to be from Oliver.
Then we gave MinJi our card thingy and our goodbyes, shed a few tears...
Hahahha it was sad :(
But at the end we did perform, but in front of Ms. Janet and Mr. Liu Bin. Hahhaa.
Anyway I hope I don't get bored during the holidays. Thanks to Oliver, who gave me a book, and Jessica who lent me 'Twenties Girl!!' I won't be as bored. :D I'm so going to read really slowly this holiday to make sure I don't finish the books to quickly. XD.
MINJI 민지!!! I'M GONNA MISS YOU

Hahahah oh yeah... Wayne is going too :(
