I mean, seriously, what am I supposed to say? I don't need to introduce myself, as that's what a bio is for. I don't need to list my favorite things, as that's what a profile is for. So...uh...hello, all.
Hi. I'm Hannah. I'm younger than I sound, but feel older than I am. My opinions differ from many my own age. I like long walks on the beach, laughing with friends, and playing Frisbee with my Cocker Spaniel, Rufus. (Anyone who understood that reference gets a gold star.) I tend to make ridiculously obscure references to my various TV shows, movies, and books that very few get. Which is okay by me, because I think it's fun to confuse people.
Let's see, what else can I say without repelling anyone who finds this blog? Well, um, I'm listening to "Wretches and Kings" by Linkin Park, which, then again, still might offend some people. One of the most confusing things I've encountered lately is the extreme reactions to Linkin Park's new album "A Thousand Suns." A lot of their "old" fans hate this new album because it's got a very new sound. They long for the days of "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora," which is stupid because every new album Linkin Park has ever released has had a completely new sound. As I listen to A1000S now, I hear the love child of "Hybrid Theory," their first album, and "Minutes to Midnight," their third album.
As my best friend aptly said, even if you can't appreciate this new sound, you should at least recognize the work of art it is. They seamlessly incorporate audio clips from famous speeches (namely clips from speeches made by J. Robert Oppenheimer - in fact, the title of the album is derived from his quotation of the Bhagavad Gita.) While their other albums were just hodge-podges of different songs, this album is what's called a "concept album." A concept album is one in which all the songs fit under one culminating theme, or even tell a story. "American Idiot" by Green Day is commonly-known among teenagers, and it in fact is a concept album - it was even made into a rock opera.
All I'm saying is that even if they don't like it, these "old" fans should try to appreciate it.
(You all will soon learn I have a problem with speaking with a point. I ramble and rant more often than I discuss in an organized way.)
Well, I think this is enough for now. Chuck and House MD both have their premieres in an hour (I'll be watching House for once, while everyone else - my mom, my dad, and my brother - will be watching Chuck.) I should prolly start my homework.
As a rule of thumb, I will try to update once a week. - Hannah :D
Wow, I knew you were a Linkin Park fan, but I didn't know you were A Linkin Park Fan (if you know what I mean). Your strong opinions and the fact that you don't care about the possible controversy they might cause is admirable (It's not sarcasm, btw).
