youtube is the best kind of dossin'

Well, I've been spending a LOT of time doing not all that much recently, and Youtube has become my favorite hobby of the moment. I've always had much appreciation for the amazing way it lets you feel like you know the randomer singing on your screen, but not until recently have I sat clicking away like a maniac enjoying, or otherwise, the sounds that are produced by the millions of faces. I then started FB all my finds, and thought, hang on, about time I returned to my long-lost friend that is my blog, so here I am!

So, naturally, it all started with a bit of Frank Turner. So lovely, and so to the point. He is yet to realise, I am the love of his life, and one day we will get married.

Then, after the most generous present my dad ever bought me for my birthday, a CD he wanted, I have become addicted to the amazing sounds of Adele. At first, I was possibly in love with "Someone Like You", but then after listening to the whole album for the first time through, I found this gem, and my car CD player has never played track 9 so many times.

Once I managed to stop pressing "replay" I moved on to my new nearly favorite ginger in the whole wide world. I'd heard so much stuff about Ed Sheeran, and never got round to investigating, and then it dawned upon me in my youtube time, and I have never been more happy to find out something about someone. Don't think amazing even describes him. Watch, and be educated..

I know, you are all thinking WOW, all these songs are possibly the best things I have ever had the pleasure to listen to, and now is where I may be seen to let the side down a little, however I think for a 16 year old, this kid is amazingly awesome, a self-taught pianist, guitarist, drummer and trumpet player, however much like marmite; either loved or hated. I love JB. Love, as in a aww, you are so cute like my baby cousin kinda way.

I ended my Youtube searches of the day, with a much missed golden 'oldie' from the days of year 12; get cape, wear cape, fly. Amazing how one song can bring back memories of a whole time phrase, walking to school, 'dossin' with my friends, generally being happy..

All this Youtube business reminded me why I love music so much, the smallest part of a song can trigger off some of the best memories of your life, and make you feel like your best-friends, however many miles away they may be, are right by your side smiling and singing with you.
For me right now, summer cannot come soon enough. Quality time, with the most amazing people I know, but for now, me, youtube and my to-do list are very much best friends for the remainer of semester 2 in order to get over this MASSIVE mountain of work that has the weird desire of growing bigger than Mt. Everest.

So yes, after all the waffle, I guess I am glad to be back in blog world, you are more than likely not too pleased to have me and my rambling ways back, but the same certainly cannot be said about my Youtube finds.

In short, youtube! Or if not, atleast smile, and send those friends you haven't spoken to in a while some much needed love.
