Best imagined in a high school scenario.
I feel the exact same way about them! I’m happy that Nate is finally getting some large scale recognition but I can barely listen to their songs because I hate the fact that they changed things to be more appealing. It’s not raw like The Format was. That’s why I loved them.
Nathan Young: Series 1, episode 1.
I couldn’t stand him at first, but he really grew to be one of the best parts of Misfits that season. Was definitely bummed when he left.

Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye cover) - fun. feat. Hayley Williams
Replace Hayley Williams with Eisley. I feel like she tries to hard to be moany. And go ahead and switch fun. with The Format and I’ve ranted about it before so I won’t include the rant this time. Other than that it’s great.

Oh yeah right, I just looked at your page and feel like you are mocking me! Hot air balloons?? How do I compete with that? Oh sweet, did you just promise me a cookie?? ;)
Probably a bad picture, but I’m hardcore looking for ways to procrastinate right now. Taking a class in May is tough on productivity, but what’s even worse is only having one small paper left to write for the class in May. MEH. Socially, this has been an AWESOME two weeks. Excluding TLS people and my mentees, I think I have met more people in these two weeks than I did last semester. Which of course means I haven’t wanted to do any of my work. I’ll be sad to leave but I’m really excited for Florida and the chance to wear my new swimsuit!!
P.S. 17 days until I leave for camp!
