me and mr. jonas. mr. jonases... mr. jonai?

some of these are awesome, some of them are weird. some of them are fuzzy and out of focus... but i love them all. i had the best time at the concert. i was jumping around like a maniac. A MANIAC. but that is neither here nor there. the boys' set was cut short because shedaisy played beforehand. who the crap is shedaisy and who on this earth wants to see them sing? not me, that's who. jonas brothers only had a thirty minute set but they did a good job fitting as many songs in as possible. set list was:
"paranoid"
"the way we roll"
"hold on"
"play my music"
"much better"
"year 3000"
"tonight"
"gotta find you"
"when you look me in the eye"
"sweet caroline"
"lovebug"
"s.o.s."
"burnin' up"


i just noticed nick's crotchal region on the screen behind joe. hmmm.

i wish my camera wasn't a fuzzy piece of trash. then maybe these would have turned out a bit clearer.

i don't really know that all of these pictures need captions. in fact, i'm gonna go ahead and say that they don't. i just feel like i should comment on them for some reason. this was during the last song when nick felt it was necessary to unbutton his shirt.

kevin always looks like a goof. i think it's the hair. i love him anyways, so it doesn't matter. check out his sweet guitar though.

we had a really hard time getting a picture of all three of them looking the same way at the same time. this time nick's guitar ruined everything.

this picture is my favorite. for now, anyways. it'll change eventually.

nick on the piano. yummy scrumboes. i think this was during "when you look me in the eye".

kevin ruined this one by turning his head.

i have a ton more but who wants to see 300+ jonas pictures besides me? nobody who reads this blog, i'll tell you that for free.

loves,

gabs.

** i feel the need to make a slight addendum to this post. i don't have anything against shedaisy as a band, i just dislike when something is advertised as a jonas brothers headliner and then stage time is split down the middle with another band. i would have been annoyed no matter who it was, the fact that it was a band that hasn't had a cd since 2006 just makes the choice random. i have respect for all musicians, doesn't mean i like them all, but i have a respect for them. my frustration comes from paying $125 and travelling ten hours for a jonas show that ended up being just thirty minutes long. that's all. end of story, thank you, byebye.

my heart belongs to...

... this sleaze. can't help it. chuck bass is the sole reason i tune into gossip girl every week. (also, partly to see what blair is wearing.) he has the funny lines, he has the killer wardrobe, he is LOADED, and he kind of is a doll when he loves blair. male-skank aside, he's quite a dish.
one question: where oh where did the signature scarf go? i miss it.

don't knock the bowtie, i LOVE the bowtie.

oh, it's "fun-in-the-sun" chuck, complete with fedora and swim trunks. wonder if he comes with a spray-on tan?

chuck in plaid? yum.

croquet is the new golf. there are so many awesome things about this outfit, i don't know where to begin.

chuck bass is the ultimate best friend. he pays for everything and if anyone messes with you, he pretty much ruins their life. good looking, rich, smarmy... what's not to like?

darn that mother chucker.

exoh,

gabs.

there are many things i could write about today, but i choose this. i have been doing well on my low-techno diet, which is similar to a low carb diet, in that i use my computer only a few times during the day and in small doses. i've logged on to twitter and facebook only twice today (which is good for me, by the way, so hush up) but when i logged on to twitter a moment ago i was met with a message from the jonas brothers saying that their new album cover is up. oh dear. i want to say i am ashamed to admit what i am about to admit, but if i really were that ashamed, i'd not be putting it out in the blogosphere.... my breath was quite literally taken away. ha. oh my my my. i really wasn't expecting something so... oy what's the word? i'm thinking of many, i'm just trying to decide which, if any, are appropriate. i'll go with "breezy" right now. i wasn't expecting something quite so breezy. really, i am laughing at myself right now bc i did literally gasp when i saw this which just proves that i am not old enough to have just turned 25. (somewhere in the world my mother is reading this post and shaking her head at the nonsense that is her TWENTY FIVE year old daughter. sorry, mom. i'll make it up to you someday.) so, i am very excited for june 15th which is when this gem hits shelves and i am glad i stumbled upon this photo bc it may very well have gotten me through the last two hours of my day. may i also say that i am excited for may 2nd which is the premiere of J.O.N.A.S. on the disney channel and i'm thinking of putting together a little ACE gang soiree for it. who knows, it depends on how gay i'm feeling that day.

in other my world news, i am currently loving the album "lady luck" by the amazing maria taylor, namely the song "100,00 times" which, at press time, makes my world spin round and round and round. and a quote that caught my attention today is this little gem from, urm, lord byron i believe? if not, my appologies to the lord. it goes a little something like this:

" 'tis strange-but true; for the truth is always strange."

i loved that. i also thought of this in the middle of the night when i couldn't sleep and was drowning in my own insecurities and fears and feeling very overwhelmed. so this quote is from, well, me. at three in the morning. "alot of small steps equal big steps". so that's what i'm doing right now... just taking small steps in hopes that someday i'll turn around and realize that i've gotten somewhere.

exoh.

gabrielle.

goodbye, joe jonas.

joe, you're getting the boot....

(doesn't he look a little sad?)

swoon and sigh, robert pattinson quite literally has come out of nowhere.

and simply because i am fond of hats...

maybe it's because i'm not married, or because i don't have kids of my own... maybe it's because it's the holidays and i've found myself a bit lonely... maybe it's because i don't go on many dates, i spend my days working and my nights running or watching buffy the vampire slayer or listening to depressing music on my record player... or maybe it's just because i'm human and this kid can charm the pants off you. literally, guys, my JOE JONAS SWEAT PANTS are going the way of the buffalo i.e. in the closet with my leonardo dicaprio poster from '97, my david boreanaz poster from '98, my 'nsync glossy 8x10 collectible photos from '99 (along with hundreds of magazine clippings, videos, posters, trading cards, t-shirts, etc... cut me some slack, i loved them clear through 2002), my justin timberlake memorabilia from '03, my adam brody clipping from entertainment weekly magazine in '04, and my teeny tiny zac efron photo from earlier this fall that i "borrowed" (stole? woops!) from a magazine at work. i've been doing pretty well the past, what, three years? (i think it was during that time that i occupied my time with real boys?) anyways, that maybe explains why i have the specific horn now for three boys who don't even exist in my universe. but, darn it, they sure are fun to look at! and you know what else is weird? they never ignore my text messages. hmmmmmm.......

"Bet On It" vs. "Scream"

in HSM there was "Get'cha Head In the Game". In HSM2, it was "Bet On It", which was, by far, my favorite scene and song from the movie. In HSM3 it's "Scream" that takes the cake. These are all of Troy's (aka Zac Efron) "monologues", which of course are done in sing-song (aren't musicals the best?!). Though "Bet On It" has been my fave for the past year, HSM3 definately did deliver with "Scream", though i can't say for sure which song is my favorite yet. I go back and forth... sometimes i think the filming of "Scream" is better, and of course it would be with the bigger budget. But i just don't know if anything can top the pixie-like leaping and frolicking through the golf course that Zac delivers so well. I mean, how many guys could prance along the grass with such grace and still be so darn cool and good looking? For gazelles it may be easy, but for humans, it is quite the challenge. So I've posted both videos, neither of them HQ(give me a break here, they are from youtube), so I can weigh the pros and cons and make an educated decision on which is the better "monologue". Let's face it, the real reason i posted these has little to do with finding out which is better, and everything to do with the fact that i have a hard time getting through the ten hour work day, and a little Zefron makes it a tiny bit easier. I just didn't want to have to search youtube each time. I'm lazy, so sue me.

"Bet On It"



"Scream"


any thoughts?

WHY?

this should never be allowed...

yummy.

i have to say, i am obsessed with these babies. i only see them about once a week, but when i'm not with them, i think about them. they are so delicious and beautiful and i love them so much. it's weird to me that i can love someone so much that i don't even know yet. when i hold them i just want to squeeze them (don't worry, i won't) because they are so precious!! it reminds me of that part on juno when juno runs out of the abortion clinic and the little asian girl who is petitioning outside yells out: "GOD APPRECIATES YOUR MIRACLE!!" (haha oh dear). seriously it sounds so cheesy but babies are so crazy perfect, they are like mini miracles. it's crazy to think that BOTH of these humans were in nichole's stomach a month ago. WOW! what a woman!!


connor holding baby lucy.

baby lucy...

me and baby lucy. she looks more upset than she really is... i actually think that's her happy face.
me and lulu again.
this is me contemplating kidnapping. seriously, that is the most beautiful baby ever.
this is sawyer!! he is the little man of the house! i can't believe he is actually a boy! i can't wait until he starts making airplane noises and playing cars and wearing little swim trunks in the summer!! and boy underwear!! that is the cutest thing ever.
me and soy toy part 2.

he is the most astute baby. he is like a professor, seriously. hahaha i love him.
check out how concernicus he is in this picture. please note that i am not holding him, connor is. so, i can't be blamed for the obvious look of total confusiosity that is on his face.
me and ella bella. she has the best personality, seriously. she is such a good big sister and she is so fun to talk to!! she has so many ideas and stories, i love listening to her. plus her voice is the sweetest sounding thing of all time.
ethan and lucy.

perfection.

so beautiful, so lucky.
little lulu.
look at those lips... perfection!
well, i'm not going to lie and say that i didn't set this one up, but look how good ella takes direction! she is such a loving big sister. she is such a sweetheart.
she took of lucy's blanket because she wanted me to be able to see her cute little feet!! and what perfect addendums they are!!

i love my family so much, each and every one of them. sometimes, if i let myself, i can become completely consumed by the love i have for them. they are each so amazing in their own way, and an example to me of so many different things. there are times when i think that my family is so weird, that no one else possibly deals with the weirdness that we deal with, but i've never wished that i was anywhere but right where i am. i know i belong here, with these people, and i know this is where my story starts. i know i get my inspiration and encouragement from these people, i know these are the people who will show up for me, who will defend me, who will love me. i know that the people in my family are the people who've known me the longest, the people who've grown up with me, the people who saw me through my awkward stage (ok, fine... awkward stageS!) and still love me. none of us are perfect, but we fit perfectly together; through the disagreements and the annoyances, the births and the deaths, the good times, the not so good times, the bad times, the worse times, and the amazing times. i love them and i'm glad i'm one of them because if i wasn't, i'd hate them all for being so freaking good looking.
