I do a humongous amount of dorky things. It's pretty bad and the worst part of it is that I don't care. I have never cared. I love my nerdiness so much that I am just about to tell you all the incredibly dorky things I do and enjoy. (P.S. Everyone has an inner dorky weirdo loser inside of them. Don't be afraid. Be proud!) haha
1. Okay there are a few instances where I sing so that's why singing will be #1. In my car there are a pile of CD's. Whenever someone is in the car I usually put on a "May 2010 hit list by S" on. My friend Bekah cannot stand these mixes. I made one especially for our roadtrip to Charleston, SC a couple weeks ago and she moaned as soon as she saw this. Anything that says a month with the year on it means nothing but it's a mix with my fav songs on it. NOTHING from that month or year will have any significance. The last one, Bekah, gave a year roundup of "ehh like '04 '05" to. That's pretty good. And if you know me all mixes contain but are not limited to-Spears, Jackson, Timberlake, Dre, Nirvana, Radiohead, Death Cab, Aqualung, Eminem, and a random song from a musical.
Now speaking of musicals.......this is a pretty high up there top secret so I cannot believe I'm telling it but here it goes. In the pile of CD's in the car you will not only find specialty mixes, CD's just bought, but also you will find full musical scores. Who jams to musical showtunes on a roadtrip? I do. When am I most likely to wreck? When listening to musicals. See the problem is is that I get soo into character that I forget I am driving and before you know it my eyes are closed and my arms are up in the air. Musicals currently residing in my vehicle-RENT(I always am Mimi), Chicago, Pippin(random I know), Miss Saigon, Kiss Me Kate(I can't get that "too darn hot" out of my head lately), and of course Wicked.
Now I don't know which would be considered dorkier. My cars Musical Theatre selection or it's Glee collection. I don't know, you tell me. So everyone should know by now that I have a thing for Glee and consider it the best thing since...well ever. I do not do up to the episode weekly mixes so I guess that just made me a lot more cool but from this fall's "Road to Sectionals", I have 3 mixes available in my car(and another 1 in the house). Yes all have the same songs on them but they are of different order. Of course you wouldn't know that because they all being with "Defying Gravity". Another statement that I make on the Glee CD's is the classic use of repeating certain songs. You will find that Defying Gravity, Don't Rain on my Parade, and my fav......the Halo/Walking on Sunshine mashup are on the CD's at least twice. If I like something why should I have to hit the back button to replay it? I've been known to make whole CD's of just one song. If I like something I will want to hear it on repeat please. *That goes out to you Nique! She just loves when I make her CD's with one song. Yep.
Let's take a step out of the car and enter a nightclub. So if you can kind of notice, I'm not really up to date on the music scene. Unless you're one of my favorite artists, I just really don't care. But don't worry I totally know how to jam out without even having heard the song. So we're at a table, everyone's dancing, the champagne is flowing, and the DJ is kicking it. While not in convo, I find it most appropriate to look like you have something totally cool going on; Like rapping. I mean everyone loves a rapper. Especially a SWF rapper. Draws in the guys real nice. When I say "rap" I mean saying "watermelon cantaloupe". Back in 6th grade vocal we learned if you didn't know what the hell was going on and you were live in the chorus to just lip sync watermelon cantaloupe. Those two words are supposed to sound like every word in the english dictionary all mashed into one. You guys might want to write that one down. It's just that cool. Then you scream "hell yeah! I love that new Luda!" Not only do you look cool cause you "knew all the words", and guys are totally gonna think that's hot that you can rap.
Let's bounce. So say you have a wonderful day off, it's dreary outside, and you have not an ounce of work to get done. What's better then spending the next 2-3 hours working on your voice? This is completely normal let me tell you. So I'll pop in my Glee CD and start it off real easy kinda of just getting in the zone. Then it's time for warm ups which are about 20 min. Warm ups are one of my favorite parts! Then you move onto "your songs". For me this includes some great classics all the way up to today's hits. Now I am a mezzo-soprano so I have to be careful nothing I am attempting is too crazy. No Mariah and No Christina. Starting off with Lady Gaga is always a good move. I love to sing Poker Face acapella. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CUYvWTd6oA Now mine doesn't really sound like this but you know I try and that's what matters. Moving right along. Now here's where I get a tad cheesy you could say. I usually sit and sing a nice clean "Everytime" by Brit, Umbrella acapella (Mandy Moore style) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l607rEC8tzM , Violet by Hole(I'm a rocker at heart), and then something happens. My dancing genes go nuts and I take a break from singing and begin to lip sync. Now this section of the day could like last a few hours if I'm real into it. (I totally go into these trances where I forget everything and am just dancing. It's amazing for your spirit and soul cause you're soo high on dancing that nothing can bring you down. Almost as good as you feel when you are performing.) So obviously ya'll know where I'm headed.....the Britney comes on. Slave, Showdown, Circus, Get naked, Toxic, are a few favorite pieces of choreography that I like to do. Now when in heartbreak crisis mode there is a WHOLE different selection of songs but let's just not go there today! Then for the huge finale I always sing..........ta da!!!!!!! The Greatest Love Of All by Whitney!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KjpyHX7X-o Crack is wack! Now don't lie. You know that's your jam too when you sing. It's everyone's classic go all out feel good song to sing!!!
Wow I didn't know I was sooo dorky. I guess this might go on for days. Ohh gosh! More to come tomorrow and if you have any nerdiness that you would like to set free please message or comment and I'll be glad to throw it on in!
..........to be continued.
