After six days or reading and writing non-stop, and after spending hald my birthday glued to the computer typing like mad, I finished the damn Theory assigment that had been bugging me for the last two weeks. I swear to God, I've never been this satisfied before. XD Thing is, with this professor, you're never a 100% what she'll do with your assigment... Passing seems like paradise right now. XD

A silly question (because I obviously have no memory whatsoever): in which tour did the lads have a round stage? Was it the WOOO one? They were also wearing these long, black coats. Thank you so much for your help! :P

I TOTALLY disagree with bands #6, #5, #2 and #1. :P

Deciding the 25 Best Hair Metal Bands is an exercise that provides a few laughs, some decent tunes, an appalling video here and there, and gets you kind comments from readers who feel a swelling in their hearts when they see their favorite overlooked band being acknowledged for their efforts.

Picking the 25 Worst Bands is an exercise that provides a few laughs, very few decent tunes, many appalling videos and angry comments from readers who feel a sudden need to beat my opinionated head into the ground. And for those who think I should stick to what I know: no one at Y! Music wanted my blog on the finest varieties of Irish Soda Bread or my expertise on bagpipe music (that's Scottish, by the way).

Wasn't it Spinal Tap who said it was a fine line between clever and stupid? Well, sometimes you can't even find the line. You just have to go with your gut and call it. Why one band sounds incredible and in command doing practically the exact same thing as another band who sound putrid and horrid is one of life's deep mysteries. It's just like how some people--like me--were born ugly and stupid and must spend the rest of eternity trying to make others feel bad about themselves and their accomplishments.

( So with that little bit o' psychotherapy off my back, let's discuss the 25 Worst Hair Metal Bands of All-Time! )

I have just noticed how appropiate this icon is for this post. XDDD

Through reckless use of hairspray, spandex, make-up, just plain goofy stage moves and even sillier videos, ‘80s hair-metal bands made themselves the butts of some pretty obvious jokes. Like any genre, hair metal had its share of lousy bands and inept performers, bland careerists and overconfident idiots. But there were some bands worth remembering.

Ranking them gets weird. Aside from the top 12 or so, the rest could probably switch places without anyone noticing. And while perhaps the Darkness should appear as a modern day example, I held off and stuck to bands who reigned when there was a reign to be had. And for those looking for AC/DC, Metallica, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden--they had plenty of hair, but too much denim and leather and not enough "pop" for this crowd--I let the Scorpions stand in for all of them.

I was out shopping with my sister today and in one of the shops there was a girl that looked awfully familiar. Thing is, I'm crap at remembering faces. I swear. Faces get mixed up in my head and, unless it's someone I see often, I have problems remembering their faces, or who they are.

So, once my sister paid for the sweater she bought, the girl asked me "You were friends with the Contreras twins, right?"

And then it clicked.

She was Yamila, I girl I used to know from my secondary school. And the twins were Elisa and Lucrecia, good friends of mine during those years. They had been separated, Elisa was in my class and Lucrecia was with Yamila, but we all knew each other, hung out together and got along pretty well. We shared birthday parties, sleepovers, crushes and all those things you share with your friends as a teenager.

The funny part came when she asked me "You're a die-hard River fan, aren't you?". My answer was "Well... I was more of a fan back then than I am now" to what my sister answered "That's because he had a huge crush on one of the players!". Nice to see some things NEVER change! XDDDDD

1- drbillbongo: I got mail today! :D Thank you SO much for the CDs (will listen to them tonight) and for the candies (I'm afraid there has been a bear massacre at home XDD).

2- Plotbunnies are overpopulating my head at the moment. Lately (thanks to the many Westlife videos I've been watching) I've been thinking of bringing back to life a story line I started working on six or seven years ago that was shelved unfinished. Thing is, I have a million plotbunnies bouncing around, all demanding for attention, and this is the last thing I need. And still, I want to write it. *headdesk* Oh, the problems of being such a fangirl! XD

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences (in your own journal!).
5. Tag five people.

'Había mostrado debilidad al irse lejos de ella y eso no se lo perdonaba.

John tomó a Tita de la mano durante el regreso al rancho, y Tita a su vez, lo tomó del brazo enfatizando que entre ellos había algo más que amistad. Quería provocarle a Pedro los mismos dolores que ella siempre había sentido al verlo al lado de su hermana'

I got the DVD today! :D Everything works fine, so don't worry. Thank you so much for the matches AND the songs, I appreciate it! *GLOMPS KAR*
