Yes so i don't think you can call me a true blue(or any other colour) Click Five fan. SUUURRREE i bought Greetings from Imrie House even though i was saying the whole pop rock thing was not for me. it was under a whim thing if i can remember.
well then after that i kind of lost track of them and only started getting interested when I heard Eric left the band.
"I don't like click five anymore," i said. "Not with Eric Dill (whoop) gone and all. no new singer will make up for it."
then their new CD came out with a single fabulously named "Jenny" and with it a rather corny and hard to believe video with Japanese.... girls? And involving and elevator. Now i wasn't very turned on with this because I thought of the Jenny song as ... how do you say? Stupid. I mean we're SOOO over the whole naming a song after a girl (Jenny, Ruby, maureen[sp?]) so I'm just like "oh." then my dear friend darrylin fell in love and sent me the song so i listened to it and I guess it wasn't THAT bad.
Then she bought the CD (which turned out to be called MODERN MINDS AND PASTIMES) and after Helena kept it hostage for weeks i was finally given the opportunity to hold it in my own puny hands. the thing is, i didn't really listen to the CD until a few days later i put the songs into my mp3 along with 2 more NEW CDs.
so between Yellowcard, The Academy Is... and The Click 5 who had a singer whom i deemed "not as good as Eric", who would you think I would choose.
So yea, i didn't listen to all the songs, just part of them but I did fall in love with Flipside which i still do dearly love and sing in my mind for many days. after awhile i realised that Kyle could ACTUALLY live up to Eric's standard, thought different his voice was still nice and as those people who enjoy adding random letters into their words, smexy.
anyway the point of making this post because of the BIG i mean BIIIIG! event that happened on Tuesday (yes i am slightly behind time) that shook the nation!!.... or maybe just helped me get some friends annoyed with me in a jealous way (HA!)though all in good nature... all in good nature... *chuckles*
ahem.
SO where was I? oh right. another thing that annoys me, the bloody school schedule says the Radio Programme thing was on THURDAY. so i was supposed to bring my camera today and catch EVERYTHING and get good pics but NOOO. it just happened to be on Tuesday and NO ONE TOLD ME so i was caught completely off guard. of course, i thought all i was going to miss were a few pictures of Vernon A and Justin Ang both of whom i am not THAT excited to see. and then they had to lie and say "Oh we're bringing you your click five merchandise. it's coming!"
"They're bringing your merchandise now... it's coming up the stairs... it's here!"
Naturally, everyone in the hall (sec 1s, 2s, 3s and a few sec 4s) looked behind and suddenly people were standing.... no no JUMPING and screaming their lungs out and basically going ballistic and then i saw those beautiful blond and brown haired heads of the Click Five and followed suit and i would have imagined that a by stander would have seen a very wide mouthed girl.
i wonder how many SJCians have already blogged about this.
The whole thing was kind of cool and stupid at the same time because the Click 5 looked bored and tired (they had their concert with the black eye peas that past night) so i felt really bad for them. did i mention the camera men were blocking my view? Those flashes looked painful. so they sort of a press conference in my hall, the 5 of them, seated in a particular order from left to right, as my fabulous memory refuses to allow me to forget, Kyle, Joey, Ethan, Ben and Joe or as I would politely address, Mr Patrick, Mr Zehr, Mr Mentzer, Mr Romans and last but not least, Mr Guese. there basically talked about their new album and answered some questions, Mr Patrick sang the chorus of Jenny with us and also sang happy birthday (as in the real song not the one from their album) to a girl (but he couldn't hear her name so he just mumbled that part).then they took a picture but because of my clumsy legs and bad reaction, me and my friends weren't anywhere NEAR them, we weren't even in the picture. then the band went backstage, everyone got seated and they left the hall followed by screams and some sec 4s who decided to pursue.
did you know Kyle Patrick has his own Wiki page? and the rest of the band do not. haha. hes 21!
anyway. back to my rather long and boring story. the band headed down to the office to have a chat with my principal, then went to the teachers meeting room where they were interviewed by the press and got to take pictures with teachers (how unfair is that) and my lucky friend vivecka got to steal their water bottles and talk to their tour manager. meanwhile my class and the rest of the sec 2s were in the gym waiting for some guitar performance by a class but we heard screams and all of us ran to see whats up. apparently the click five were leaving and they were standing outside the car park doing something. so then we stood and watched for a while before running back into the gym. then i had this great idea of going downstairs to the big gates so we could wave goodbye to them when they left but then it so happened Jasmin(the most horrible self professed non click five fan) and Darrylin(who was hysterical at that time) had already ran down leaving me shouting "DARRYLIN you wanna go down?" to a classmate who so happened to NOT be darrylin. [if i spelt your name wrong, im sorry. haha i am a horrible speller]
well we went down and waited and ignored some seniors who told us to go back. we saw the 98.7fm crew and DJs leave and then my bio teacher....
and then my two friends, Brigid and Darrylin had the great idea of running opposite to the other side where the flowery bushes situated because there was a HUGE crowd standing on my side and people were overtaking me even though i saying "Excuse me" and pushing them aside (yes mean, i know. haha but they didn't even notice!) and jasmin saying "shove off."
then there were screams and i saw that beloved peach coloured van coming up and i RAN across and prayed i wouldn't get hit/get scolding for taking the risk to get hit but no, neither happened because the van was going pretty slow. then when i got to the other side something big banged into me but turned out to be jasmin who had taken the last minute run too. so while jasmin cried "BUSH BUSH!" and we tried to entangle ourselves from the bushes, the van was coming and more screams erupted. practically the whole school was running down but only four of us were standing on the left side of the road. now HOW COOL IS THAT.
so then the van bus thing came up and i saw Mr Patrick and i waved at him but he didn't see.
then i caught sight of Mr Zehr who was sitting closest to the left window (nearest to us) and he
caught sight of the four of us and naturally i waved at him and smiled and he waved back and smiled too.
according to Jasmin, Kyle had seen us and waved and said "Bye" but i was too hypnotised by Mr Zehr's handsome face and pretty eyes and his smile that I did not see him. oh well.
seconds after the van/bus passed, my friend Darrilyn who was calm for once, started jumping and shrieking so not wanting to spoil the moment i jumped and shrieked too. then she and brigid ran after the bus/van (people were like blowing kisses to the window and putting their hand on it) while i turned to Jasmin and said "Joey waved at me!"
it was just the coolest thing. that night they showed it on the news and but i wasn't anywhere on it. haha. but still...every time i think about the Click Five, THE CLICK FIVE entering MY school's HALL its just the most amazing thing. i mean, i wont say it but I never knew anything so amazing would happen to me school.
yes i am saying something.
haha. anyway. this is my 3rd celebrity encounter. my past 2 did not go too well (I didn't really ENCOUNTER much fall out boy at their concert and the phone conversation with Michael Guy Chislett can't really be called a conversation). i am freaking stoked.
i really really really really really really want to be a musician right now.
go,dream go!
hey mr zehr has a friends or enemies account! ahaha.
yes, well sorry for the long post. all this was on tuesday, 2 days ago and it's still fresh in my mind. amazing really.
i have a piano theory exam coming up. yes,somehow i don't seem to be studying enough but I can't disappoint now. gahh. once i get all these exams off me I'll be free... until of course i get my new school books.
that's life i guess.
The drum fills on Modern Minds and Pastimes, in my opinion, are fabulous.
Now, who's in some mood for some song writing....?
