So apparently Nick was online and answered questions submitted by the fans. I don't think I have giggled so much over something Backstreet-related in a while. Part of it is because Nick is amusing and part of it is that this kind of reinforces a lot of the old school stereotypes of Nick that apparently still exist.

It is about an hour long video, but the first few minutes are Nick adjusting everything and then about 10 minutes in someone calls Nick and tells him that he isn't broadcasting, which is kind of funny. So then he basically starts all over again. Why he [or someone else] didn't edit the video, I don't know.

Then he gets about 20 phone calls during this thing, he has a new dog in the room which he keeps playing with... I don't know, I just enjoyed this video a lot more than a person probably should.

P.S. Nick mentions how he wants there to be another paranormal show like X-Files. Of course in my head I'm like "SUPERNATURAL!!" and I think it would be awesome if he watched Supernatural. Basically, I want there to be a fic where Nick watches Supernatural with the boys... possibly Howie because I see him getting really scared.

This blog went and visited the set of Psych in Vancouver. The entry itself doesn't reveal much besides the fact that the entire cast is awesome and they play Mafia. I think I love them even more than before just because they get together once a week to play Mafia.

Someone needs to introduce them to catchphrase and then they will fit perfectly along with my church crew.

Is it July 18th yet? Or at least July 8th when the second season comes out on DVD? I am just filled with anticipation for those DVD commentaries.

And just because I love this quote:
Shawn: Oh, you mean my pilot's license? That's out back in the Cessna. Or perhaps you're referring to my license to kill. Revoked. Trouble at the Kazakhstan border. I could give you the details but then I'd have to kill you, which I can't do because my license to kill has been revoked.

I am one disc away from finishing West Wing completely and I am really, really sad. I don't think I've been this sad over a series ending since Gilmore Girls... and I knew this was coming since I started watching.

Anyway, to honor the West Wing, I have named my car Josh [or Joshua] and I have a tiger that sits on my dashboard that I have named Bradley. I usually name my inanimate objects after whatever celebrities I have a crush on at the moment [my computer is Tommy, based on Instant Star, and my iPod is J-Squared 2.0, for Jared and Jensen]. I figured Josh works well for a few other celebrities [mainly Josh Groban, which is what Raina pointed out to me] and I just like the name Bradley a lot.

P.S. Can we somehow get him for our commencment address? We may not be located in his hometown of Madison, but we're in the same state!

I went to hang out in the city with my two best friends from high school. Among making our own cupcakes and hanging out at the zoo, we [well, two of us] went to the Taste of Chicago. If anyone is headed down there and for some reason gets bored, we created a drinking game.

Do a shot every time you see someone wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt. You're going to get drunk so fast, you won't know what to do with yourself.

And now, a book meme.

( and now a meme )

Dear Alexz Johnson,

If your album is actually going to be similar to this or this or this, then can you please get this thing out ASAP because it is freakin' awesome. Oh, and then please go on tour and come here so I can see you perform this stuff live because I know you'd rock it like no other. Thanks!

P.S. You weren't kidding when you said Peter Gabriel was a big influence on you, were you?

You guys, this is going to be freakin' LEGENDARY.

2) I am officially going to Colorado July 16-22. We have family near Denver and my aunt was just like "You want to come with me to Colorado?" And I was like "Sure!" so now I'm going. And then after that I am driving to New York with my sisters, bro-in-law, and cousin for another cousin's wedding. That will probably be something like July 25-30. And then I wanted to go to our church's national youth conference, which is like July 31-August 3, but I still have to ask my parents about that one.

Oh my goodness, my July is basically booked solid. Oy to the vey.

3) Backstreet Boys live from London. You guys, I was kind of worried before about going to the BSB concert in August. I don't know why, but I was scared that it wasn't going to be as awesome as before, but this has completely made me forget all my doubts. Also, if they sing the same set list when I see them, I will freak out because they have the best stuff here!

By the way, is it weird if I find them kind of hotter than they were before? Mostly Howie, but they all are included

4) Speaking of the Backstreet Boys, my friends were saying that at my wedding they were going to do a dance to BSB songs and make my husband lip all of the Brian parts! I also told them that they should learn the hat dance [it is easier than the chair dance] because that would be A-MAZING. lol It makes me kind of excited to get married even though I am not even close to having that happen. I love my girls.

I have a new car!! I was talking to my parents about getting a car for me before the fall, I definitely was not expecting to get one now! It is a 2009 Toyota Corolla in "magnetic gray."

Anyway, below are pictures. I hung out with Raina, Shaina, Jenny with a quick visit to Sibyl to show off my car and we had a fun photoshoot while exploring my fun new car! More pictures can be found on my Flickr.

( pictures! )

Dear Josh,

Could you do me a favor and stop looking so amazing? Kthnx.

Love,
Rincey

P.S. Plz tell Olivia that I hate her for being so beautiful [j/k, bb].

"Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do and it gave him great pleasure."
Ephesians 1:4-5

So my emotions have been running on haywire lately for no apparent reason at all. Like seriously, I have gone from the brink of crying my eyes out to laughing hysterically in record time. I think I might be schizophrenic.

ANYWAY - the whole point of this entry was for me to mention how I've been going through my old, saved e-mails and I found the verse above in one of them and, I don't know, it just really touched me at this moment. The idea that before I existed, before my parents existed, before this world existed, God knew me and was like "You see that one? She's one of mine and I love her."

Whenever I think about that, the only thing I can think about is just how ridiculous that is. Why would such a perfect and amazing God choose to love an imperfect, flawed, insecure, unclean sinner like me? But he does [probably because He is so perfect and amazing] and I praise Him every day for that.

Finally, a song we sang today at church that really spoke to me today, especially that first verse.

Oy to the vey, I finally finished this.

( this turned out a lot longer than i expected )

Anyway, that was basically everything. I think I covered everything that was in my Twitter, but if you have any questions about some of my random comments, just let me know.

I stayed up until almost 2 a.m. working on the Josh entry only to lose it when xJournal crashed when I tried posting it. Apparently it doesn't like working late either. I had part of it saved, but not that much so I'll be starting over today... kind of. Bah, stupid computers.

A real post giving context to my Twitters coming soon. Just need to change and take out my contacts and all that fun stuff.

As has now become tradition when I go and meet famous people or do awesome things, I will be Twitter-ing it up. I don't know how much I'll be doing it though because texting can get distracting at these things. I'll try to give the highlights, if only for reference for myself... and my twin.

Holy moley, my parents said it was OK for me to go downtown tomorrow! I'm not completely sure how that happened, but apparently my parents are a lot cooler than I thought.

I did slightly fib by leaving out the whole thing about me seeing Josh. I mostly just said that I wanted to go to the Apple Store downtown because there are people there talking about a movie they made, which isn't really lying.. just leaving out minor details. After I explained that it wouldn't cost any money, they seemed OK with it.

*points at icon* That is kind of me exactly. Actually, I am closer to madeitsimple's icon from when Josh realizes that he is going to meet Oprah, but she isn't available yet.

Yaaayyyyy!!

P.S. TWIN, GET ONLINE SO WE CAN FLAIL ABOUT THIS.

Director Jonathan Levine, Star Josh Peck to Appear in Chicago For Ben Kingsley’s ‘The Wackness’

CHICAGO – We have learned that writer and director Jonathan Levine (“All the Boys Love Mandy Lane”) and lead actor Josh Peck (“Ice Age: The Meltdown”) will publicly appear this Thursday, June 19, 2008 at 7 p.m. at the downtown Chicago Apple store at 679 N. Michigan Ave. to offer an insider’s look at their new film “The Wackness”.

Along with Peck, “The Wackness” also features Sir Ben Kingsley (who played Gandhi in 1982’s “Gandhi”) and Olivia Thirlby (from recent “Juno” fame).

In addition to showing clips from the New York-set film, Levine and Peck will also be taking questions from the audience.


You guys, Josh Peck is going to be in Chicago tomorrow night!! I want need to be there. But that means I need to find some way to get downtown tomorrow... and have my parents let me go downtown.

Seriously though, the problem is the fact that they are going to be there in the evening. If this was at like 2 p.m., I could totally be downtown for that no problem. *grumble*grumble* I need to do some major brainstorming.

I went with a bunch of my friends to go see The Incredible Hulk and I actually enjoyed it.

( for the major spoiler-phobes )

So instead of editing the last entry because not a lot of people have replied, I'm just going to post a new entry with the answers of the ones that have been guessed correctly already. There are still six left, but I only expect maybe two at the most to be guessed.

But if you still want to play, you can go back to the original entry and try to guess them all if you'd like.

It's the screencap game! Below are 22 20 screencaps from 22 20 different TV shows I enjoy. Try guessing where they came from without cheating if possible. Also, ignore the random blurs in some corners, I was trying to blur out channel symbols to give hints. I'll update this tomorrow after guesses have been made and I'll give people until Monday before I reveal the answers.

ETA: Um, apparently I need to go back to kindergarten because I skipped both 8 and 17 while numbering these caps. *facepalm*

( let the games begin )
