More Info I Bet You're Just Dying To Know (Countdown W/O)

Aug 20 '03    Write an essay on this topic.


The Bottom Line Sorry bout the delay between reviews. Stupid education.

This is a part of the bella4 Countdown write off. I'm joining a bit late (school issues, mainly) but I'm joining nonetheless. I just have to be included in everything. My attention wh*re gene wouldn't let me not join.

10 Bands You've Been Listening To Lately
10. Anita Baker
09. Evanescence
08. Taylor Dayne
07. Ms. Dynamite
06. Jewel (her old stuff; I'm not exactly feelin' her new image/material)
05. Pru
04. Maroon 5
03. Christina Aguilera
02. Mandy Moore
01. Janet Jackson

What I have to say: Ok, fine, I bent the rules a smidge. I don't listen to a lot of "bands" per say. I'd be much more drawn to a good solo record instead. Five of these are courtesy of Mike (a.k.a. speeddemon531- visit this guy. he's very underrated) because I'm a po' dude. Heh. I only get money like 4 times a year (report cards are a blessing) and it saved me from listening to the same ol' stuff for the 30982350808235408th time. All of these people are worth checking out.

9 Things You Look Forward To
09. going to a Grand Slam tennis tourney (when I go to college I may go to the U.S. Open)
08. starting a magazine (or #6)
07. getting a job/making my own money
06. owning a record label (a boy can dream, no?)
05. watching my cats grow up (insert sitcom "aww" sound here)
04. going to college
03. learning to drive
02. anytime I can go to the record store
01. leaving Kentucky for good

What I have to say: As you can tell, I'm not exactly satisfied with my current living situation. If I had it my way, I wouldn't come near Kentucky at all.

8 Things You Like To Wear
08. n/a
07. stuff
06. clothes
05. my shirt that came from Reno (thanks Uncle Bob!)
04. clothes
03. any sleep pants (currently rockin' the Old Navy ones)
02. my black Mariah Carey shirt
01. nothing...no, I'm so kidding. Even I'm repulsed by my body so I wouldn't force myself (or anyone else) to look at it.

What I Have To Say: I'm not a fashion maven, kids. I just wear whatever feels comfortable and don't really care if it's high fashion or what. Give me a t-shirt and jeans and I'm a happy guy.

7 Things That Annoy You
07. ignorance
06. most reality TV
05. when I buy a bad CD
04. people (hey, I'm nice and I expect people to be nice back. most of the time they're not.)
03. noisy chewing
02. mainstream hip hop
01. gossip

What I have to say: I could go on (my overly sensitive behind was held back, believe me) so hey, this is onyl a taste. Gossip really infuriates me so bad that I can't see. I have had it happen and the reasons/ways it happens are so petty.

6 Things You Touch Everyday
06. my fine a** Spanish teacher (kidding!)
05. food (I am, as they say, a hog)
04. my school crap
03. my remote (hello my name is Shilo and I'm a TV junkie)
02. my CDs
01. my cats (I'm very maternal with them)

What I have to say: Self explanatory, huh?

5 Things You Do Everyday
05. write on a review
04. bathe (Captain Obvious to the rescue!)
03. (obsessively) check this site
02. listen to music
01. go to school (well on weekdays)

What I have to say: Pretty basic. I just recently went back to school (today was my second day) so I'll be getting used to that. I check this site twice a day at least so as to keep my newly gained and spiffy-as-heck hat.

4 People You Want To Spend Time With
04. Jessica (a.k.a. hiimfred
03. Conan O'Brien
02. Mariah Carey
01. Mike (a.k.a. speeddemon531 or my best friend)

What I have to say: An eccentric list, huh? The reason I put Mike at number one is because we've gotten close recently despite our age difference (a bit less than 12 years) and he's just an awesome guy. Many apologies for breaking out my white boy words.

3 Movies You Can Watch Over and Over
03. Selena
02. A Walk To Remember
01. Save The Last Dance

What I have to say: All three are amazing. Save The Last Dance is much more than a hip hop movie; it addresses interracial relationships with class and modern twists. A Walk To Remember is pure, romantic and a bawlfest for me. Selena is a down-to-earth view at a Tejano icon done with style and grace.

2 Of Your Favorite Bands Of The Moment
02. Evanescence
01. Maroon 5

What I have to say: There, if you were annoyed by my first list, here's one just for y'all. The funk-rock-r&b combo band of Maroon 5 and the gothic and dark Evanescence are my two favorite bands of the moment.

1 Person You'd Want To Spend Your Life With
01.

What I have to say: Hm...this is a toughie. If you want a celeb, I would go with Jennifer Love Hewitt or Mariah Carey. Both for several reasons. Hehe. But when it comes to real life people, I have no earthly clue. So...no comment.

Alright, that's it. Thanks to you for reading and Miss Bella4 for putting up with my lazy behind and this late entry.
