#of their two kids Harry is the one Andy and Alex don’t have to have the ‘lie on the internet’ talk to
Do you ever write some incredibly small throw away line that you think nothing of at the time but then it becomes an integral part of one of the characters for the rest of the story.
Anyway Fawn Spots Harry was definitely told by one (1) random person he had known for all of three minutes at the time not to give his name to anyone he didn’t trust because they could do bad things with it and he decided that that was going to be a core part of his personality for the rest of time tbh.
Which, to be fair, he doesn’t have anything other than his name after the Dursleys leave him. That last piece of his life that wasn’t torn away from him when they left him alone and scared halfway across the world. It was also the first thing of his that had ever been given value, with someone he hardly knew telling him that it was important enough to keep safe.
Is it any wonder that he guards it jealously? That he holds it close to his chest so it can’t be used to hurt him?
It’s why his adoptive family uses so many nicknames for him. Why Andy and Alex refer to him as “my child “ or “Bambi” or “the fawn” when speaking to others. It’s why Hydra hardly ever says it outside of Parsel and only around people he knows Harry trusts. It’s why May had to wipe away tears when Harry told her his name for the first time, open and trusting.
It’s why the wizarding world loses Harry’s faith almost immediately by plastering his old name (thankfully. he would have crawled out of his skin if he saw his new family’s name tossed around so carelessly) over children’s books and newspapers and gods knew what else like they had any right to it. It’s HIS name after all. His to keep or give away. Why should they get to take it without his permission?
It’s why even his closest friends don’t know his name is “Harry Cyprin” not “Harry Potter” until after they faced a troll and lived. And it a secret Ron and Hermione guard just as carefully as Harry does.
Ry is going to find out later and be so unbearably smug about it.

NOTES: Proshot WNET-TV's New York City-area Channel THIRTEEN continues its Theater Close-Up programming with a one-night-only broadcast of Jocelyn Bioh’s hit Off-Broadway play School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play. The broadcast, filmed during the show's return run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre last year, plays August 16 at 9 PM.

The cast is phenomenal and Alex gives a sensational performance. High energy show with great songs and is so much fun! The last 11 minutes (which is the finale) ARE here, but from a different performance as someone was taking *multiple* flash pictures with their iPhone in the row and was scolded and babysat those 11 minutes.

NOTES: With a mix of original cast and new faces, there are great performances all around. Nicely captured just a couple quick dropouts.

There is also some occasional washout, especially in wider shots. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.

NOTES: A hilarious parody full of references to Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and tons of other broadway shows and stars. A must-see for any fan. A good capture overall. There is one head that blocks the actors from the waist down in the center of the stage. There is a three-minute blackout during The Schuyler Puppets and a three minute blackout during the finale, as well as a couple other quick dropouts.

NOTES: A nice capture overall; the biggest flaw here is the obstruction. There are a lot of heads that were very difficult to work around, but the show is still captured well and the actors are only occasionally blocked for a few seconds at a time. There are some very quick dropouts, but no major blackouts. It’s filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes playbill scans.

NOTES: Six major blackouts (including the majority of “My Junk” and “The Mirror-Blue Night” and the taper has a couple of performers that they obviously favour. The result is a video that stays in tight shot on the people in question for most of the show and has the shakes to go with it. Sound is great and it’s good to see the Vienna cast. Final performances for most of the understudies in their roles.

NOTES: Highlights: Johanna, Kiss Me, and Act 2 until part of Johanna (Reprise). A bunch of clips from the opening night of Sweeney Todd in Manila! Shot 3rd row at the balcony. I shot more but they were too zoomed in that they’re more likely to be considered audio so I decided not to include them. I was very near the usher and they were really strict. The phone was in my jacket pocket so I couldn’t see anything and I was scared of getting caught, so a lot is very zoomed and I’m really sorry about that. I absolutely loved the set, it was reimagined into a more modern almost gangster like setting. Shot in 4k on my phone. Please gift out to anyone who asks.

After tragedy, One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson is finally in a ‘good place in life’ — and ready to rock
While most boy bands only spawn one major solo superstar — think Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC, or Ricky Martin from Menudo — the men of One Direction have bucked those odds. Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne have all found success, in genres ranging from R&B and EDM to folk-pop and retro rock, since 1D went on indefinite hiatus in 2016. But one member, Louis Tomlinson, has kept a relatively lower profile. “I've tried to!” he laughs softly, speaking to Yahoo Entertainment about his much-anticipated new solo music.
“I had a couple of things in my personal life which made momentum a little bit more difficult, naturally,” says Tomlinson, now age 27. He is referring to the loss of his mother, Johannah Deakin (who died from leukemia at age 43, the same year of 1D’s split), followed by the fatal overdose of his 18-year-old sister, Félicité, earlier this year. Only one week before Félicité’s death, Tomlinson had released the single “Two of Us,” a heartbreaking ballad dedicated to his mother. He once described this “darkest s***” period in his life as his “rock bottom” during an interview with The Guardian. But as he readies his debut solo album, out in January 31 next year with a world tour to follow, Tomlinson says he’s no longer writing from a place of mourning. While the album, WALLS, will contain “light and shade,” fans can mostly expect anthemic rockers with “plenty of guitars,” like the ‘90s-style Britpop banger “Kill My Mind” and the just-released buoyant terrace-chant “We Made It.”
“I touched on [grief] with ‘Two of Us,’ but I definitely kind of told that story with that,” Tomlinson explains. “I felt like I needed to get that off my chest creatively in my songwriting because around that time, it was hard for anything to feel more important, obviously, than that. ‘Two of Us’ is an important song for me, but I understand how heavy it is — emotionally, for me to sing, and for some people to listen to. … I don't think for a while I'll be going near anything else too heavy emotionally; I'm not really that way inclined. I want to make songs that make people feel good, you know what I mean? I'm conscious of trying to make happier songs, definitely. What I've learned about the writing process is you can't write a happy song if you don't feel happy. And I feel like I'm in a good place in my life, and naturally with that comes happier songs. So I think it all depends on what headspace you're in, really, at the time.”
Tomlinson is clearly in a rock ‘n’ roll headspace at the moment. To tease the release of “Kill My Mind” last month, the proud Northerner made a Spotify playlist of his influences that included Oasis (“probably forever my favorite band”), the La’s, James, the Verve, Arctic Monkeys, the Smiths, “Tomorrow Never Knows” by the Beatles, and newer artists like Sam Fender, the Courteneers, and Catfish & the Bottlemen — and “Kill My Mind” and “We Made It” wouldn’t sound at all out of place on a playlist alongside those Britrock luminaries.
Tomlinson is well aware that going in a rock direction is a risk, though he believes “music definitely works in cycles” and rock ‘n’ roll will “definitely be back.” In terms of speculating why the type of music he heard on mainstream radio as a kid — like Oasis and Amy Winehouse — has fallen out of favor commercially, he speculates, “Well, we're in a in a very, very PC era, and some of those bands were a little bit reckless, a little bit crazy.” Regardless, it’s possible that Tomlinson could educate the “super-f***ing-dedicated” One Direction fans about ‘90s/early-2000s indie the same way Styles’s debut album was a gateway to ‘70s glam and classic rock, or Horan’s was an introduction to more mature singer-songwriter sounds.
“That's why it's important for me to make those playlists, because I do often get messages from my fans saying they hadn't heard of this band or this artist before,” he says. “And I think that's really important. That's really cool. That helps them get to know me even better. … Harry, I think in terms of the music he's making, I think that's incredible and I'm sure the fans have then gone to look at other bands that have influenced him on his album. And I actually saw it firsthand when I went to watch Niall live — it must have been like maybe over a year ago now. There were some really great musical moments in that show, and I was thinking about the contrast of that show with a One Direction show. I was watching the girls at the front just absorbing this musical moment, and I thought that was really cool, really interesting. I think that is important, for all of us.”
Tomlinson knows “there is definitely a bit of music snobbery” when it comes to a former boy band star doing rock ‘n’ roll — he once joked to the BBC that Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys would be mortified would be mortified to be cited as one of Tomlinson’s core influences — but he says, “I think you've just got to kind of earn your stripes as an artist, and be honest and be real — and whoever likes you, great. Whoever doesn't, well, it is what it is, I suppose.”
Tomlinson has been pleased by the initial response to his new sound. “I was feeling really, really f***ing proud about ‘Kill My Mind’ and the reaction on that. It makes me feel really good to do something that is true to my influences and get a good reaction. Some people were a little bit shocked, but that's exciting, you know what I mean? That's the way it should be with music.” Still, he doesn’t seem too concerned if his music doesn’t reach the commercial level of One Direction in their post-X Factor heyday.
“In terms of kind of chasing radio, I feel like I've done a lot of that. To be honest, out of all the songs I've got on the [forthcoming solo] album, ‘We Made It’ probably is the best equipped melodically for radio, so we'll see how that goes. But I'm not as precious as I used to be about all that,” he says. “To be fair, I fell out of love with music a little bit, and I actually kind of come back ‘round to finding bands that I used to love, and finding new bands. And I had a bit of an epiphany with music and with my music. I thought, instead of making music for other people, I should start making music for myself and what I really love. So it feels really refreshing to be able to do that.”
Tomlinson’s album will feature production from both longtime 1D collaborator Julian Bunetta and Ben’s Brother frontman Jamie Hartman, who has worked with Lewis Capaldi, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Rachel Yamagata, James Bay, Andy Grammer, Joss Stone, and Parachute). “Jamie is just an amazing producer, and I think he really understood me musically,” Tomlinson gushes. As for what to expect from the record, he says, “I'm always trying to be as honest and as relatable as possible, and sonically, I always want it to feel as live and as authentic as possible. It's been a long time in the making now, but I'm really happy with it as a body of work.
“I'd been used to releasing an album a year with [One Direction], and I didn't realize until I got into it just how much of a perfectionist I was going to be about my first album, and what it says about me and what it represents. I've been maybe at times too much of a perfectionist, and it's taken a little bit longer than it should have. But I'm kind of all right with that, because I'm really, really proud of where it is now. I never want the feeling of releasing an album and feeling like there's two or three fillers on there. I'm really happy with every track on the album now. So I think it was hopefully worth the wait.”

05. what’s your nationality ??
‘murican
06. what’s your favorite band and/or musical artist ??

07. what’s your dream job ??
uh, i don’t have one? i mean yeah, i’d love to be a writer, or game dev, or a narrative director on a game, or direct, write, or act in movies or television, but like…i could live without any of that stuff. i just want to make a decent living, be able to own a house, not completely hate my job. yknow, not a glamorous life but a good one.
08. what’s one place you would love to visit ??
idk there’s a lot of places i’d like to go, but i’d most like to visit alpha centauri, even tho that’ll never happen lol

12. what’s your favorite sport ??
can i say rocket league? lol
13. what’s your favorite food ??
pizza, unquestionably. cereal is a damn close second tho. or pot stickers. damn, i’m hungry…

15. what’s your least favorite face claim ??
to use?? um pretty much any singer or model just bc their resources aren’t too great. i really didn’t enjoy using pete davidson as much as i thought i would, either lol
to see… uh probs emma roberts or andy biersack. emma for obvs reasons but also bc i once had a really bad experience with people using those fcs. idm people using whoever they feel like using tho.
16. what’s your favorite character of yours to play ?? which do you think you’re most like ??
oh man, uhh i really enjoy writing chrissy & theo. they both speak to me. but tbh i’m not much like any of my characters? i’m boring af so i tend not to make any like me lol. i am kinda like theo in the sense that i’m quiet, and really just try to be a good person. other than that i’m most like jason solely based on the fact we’re both human lol
17. what’s your sexuality ??
danversexual. attracted only to fictional danvers women, examples including carol, kara, and alex danvers.
lmfao but nah i’m just a boring straight boy. well, like 99.9% straight. jensen ackles makes me question shit.
18. what’s the last movie you saw in a cinema/theater ??
captain marvel (thanks to dani lol). only two months late but it was worth the experience haha.
19. what’s the worst injury you’ve ever had ??
thankfully i’ve never really hurt myself too terribly except for a broken wrist, but between the ages of 10-17 i’d occasionally hurt my back by sitting weird, usually in an attempt to play video games without the glasses i desperately needed lol. once when i was like 11 i laid belly down on the couch with my elbows up on the arm of it for like three hours, which messed me up for days, then a few other times i hurt myself, but another bad one when i was 17, i had my back curved while sitting and propping my laptop up on my knee, tried to move and literally just cried, crawled on the floor, and laid there all night until i forced myself to move in the morning. lol luckily it hasn’t happened since i lost a little weight.
20. what’s a random or interesting fact about you ??
uhm, nothing? i literally can’t think of one, i’m dull af. i uh.. i replaced my own cpu cooler once? lmfao
21. do you listen to music while you write ??
sometimes. a lot of time i just like the silence or ambient background noise, but if i’ve got a fitting playlist for the vibe of what i’m trying to write, i’ll use it!
22. are you a morning, day, evening, or night writer ??
i’m a never writer, apparently v___v but lol ideally a night writer, my best work is between the hours of 12am & 4am, but my sleeping schedule is so inconsistent, and so is my dad’s who spends literally every waking moment of his telling me different stuff he wants done, so it’s tough to hit that sweet spot. i write whenever i get a chance tho.
23. have you ever roleplayed intoxicated ??
lol nah i’ve never even had a drink. like what teenager doesn’t have a drink at some point?? i told you i’m lame.
24. what language or languages do you speak ??
english, barely. and assassin’s creed 2 taught me some italian swears. and ac: odyssey has had me occasionally dropping “malaka” bombs since the day i first played it haha.
25. how long have you roleplayed ??
officially, about 9 years. i started at 11 on myspace, rping dragon ball z stuff. but basically about 12 years, if you count how from the ages of 8-11 i’d put an anime pic up on my myspace, pretend i was older, and talk to roleplayers i didn’t realize were roleplayers lmfao.
26. favorite roleplay genre ??
i like pretty much anything, tbh. as long as it’s well thought out, has an interesting plot, or whatever. sometimes it doesn’t even need that, it just needs to catch my eye or line up with something i’m looking for. but yeah, supernatural, multi-fandom, sci-fi, romance, town rps, high school/college rps, anime rp (well, pokemon mostly), harry potter… i’ve done it all tbh and don’t particularly have a favorite.
27. one sound you hate & one you love ??
the sound of cotton stretching is the absolute worst thing to me. or scratching cotton. idk, it just sends chills up and down my spine and makes my hands feel weak lmfao. i’m weird. i really love the sound of rain, or fire crackling, or like “ambient” harp or ukulele music.
28. do you believe in ghosts ??
short answer, yes. long answer… i’m pretty sure i was friends with a ghost girl as a kid?? like no joke, even looking back at it through rational “adult” eyes, i’m still convinced. my fam moved into a new apartment, and pretty much right after that i started having dreams about a girl my age at the time (11-12). i’d never seen her before but the dreams would be like just conversations, like i was visiting a friend or something. i don’t remember them much, but i do remember the feeling of someone else in my room all the time, like you know how if someone else is around you just know even if you’re not looking at them? like that. there was even one night i was getting in bed, laid there a minute, and then i could have absolutely sworn somebody came in the room and sat down next to me on the bed because i felt the bed sink a little under their weight, but i looked and no one was there. i had a really vivid conversation/dream/thing that night. then a few nights later, for the first time since moving there i didn’t have one. the next morning my dad was really freaked out and said he fell asleep in the chair, but woke up and couldn’t breathe, and felt cold little hands over his mouth. he rationalized it as just waking up from a nightmare but i didn’t think so, so that night when i went to sleep and saw her i got really upset, yelled at her for it, and woke up right after. then i never saw or heard anything even remotely similar again, like she left or disappeared or something. it’s so weird, and i know how crazy it sounds, but yeah. don’t get me started on the topic of ghosts lmfao. THEN AGAIN, like a year later we had a carbon monoxide scare, but i really doubt the two were related because that would mean there was an entire year that we were breathing it in and the monitor didn’t do anything lol
29. do you believe in aliens ??
no alien story, thankfully, but it just makes no sense not to believe in them to me. like, we probably don’t have them on earth, and we’ve probably never encountered any, but it’s as close as you can get to a mathematical certainty that there’s some other life out there in the universe.
30. do you believe in true love ??
like, people who are just meant for each other, like romantic soulmates? nah not really. but i believe that two people can grow to truly love one another. whether it’s based off an initial attraction/infatuation, or a friendship, or both. i’d actually argue that’s a simple explanation of the biological science behind the feeling of love, but that’s an essay i���m not gonna write lol. but there’s apparently a lot of different types of love, so i guess “true love” is suggestive?
also slightly unrelated but i don’t-quite-believe-in-but-am-open-to-the-idea-of soulmates, not necessarily as two souls who are just meant for each other romantically and always end up together, but more as two or more souls that gravitate toward each other to make up the important people in each other’s lives, like family members, lovers, or close friends. but that’s more of a theoretical idea/possibility than an actual belief of mine.
31. do you hold grudges ??
um, yes. lol i try not to, and i really do want everyone to be their best/happiest selves, but some people man… some people can take a long walk off a short pier lmao
32. do you have any obsessions right now ??
PO KE MON GOTTA CATCH EM ALLLLL. also… life is strange (thanks dani lol). supernatural. stranger things (thanks dani & steph) the 100 / clexa / becho (thanks steph). lucifer. captain marvel (thanks dani). the song “creep” by radiohead and all its covers (tom ellis, haley reinhart, etc). cyberpunk 2077 (thanks dani). as you can see, i’m easily influenced lmfao.
33. do you drive & if so, have you ever been in a crash ??
nope i don’t drive, precisely because i’d definitely end up in a crash lol
34. do you like the smell of gasoline ??
uh that’s a big fat no from me, chief
35. do you prefer writing fluff, angst, or smut ??
i like it all equally, i think. i just really like writing & rp in general. i did run a smut rp once in the past tho. it gets old quick tbh and is the one of the three i can live without lol
36. are you in a relationship ??
bahahahahahahaha no.
37. grab the nearest book to you and turn to page 23, what is the 17the line ??
❝ “and why would that be?” kronos’s golden eyes glittered. ❞
— the last olympian by rick riordan.
38. put your playlist on shuffle and list the first four songs that pop up:
1. season of the witch – donovan
2. riot van – arctic monkeys
3. busta rhymes – qveen herby
4. der kommissar – after the fire
also i gotta cheat because it’s too perfect that the next two are
5. stay – mac miller (one of my favorites ever that i forgot to mention above)
6. only in america – riff raff (i just love this ok. the video is hilarious but tw james franco for those that don’t like him)

What song by your favorite group/artist would you recommend to somebody who has never listened to them?
>> I avoid recommending things to people in general. I think people should make their own choices about what media to consume, especially in this era where you’re bombarded left and right with the overbearing opinions of other people. Any influence I have on people tends to be indirect -- they see me talking about something that I really enjoy, and they become curious enough to check it out for themselves. That seems the most acceptable kind of influence, to me.
What is your least-favorite song by your favorite group/artist?
>> I don’t have a favourite group or artist.
What was your favorite band when you were 14?
>> Pretty sure I was fully entrenched in my obsessions with Fuel and Creed at that age.
Have you ever gotten up early to watch a performance on a morning show?
>> No.
Have you ever counted down to the release of a song or album?
>> That definitely seems like something I would have done when I was younger, though I can’t remember any specific examples.
Have you ever thought a group/artist was trying to copy a different one? Examples/why?
>> Maybe, but I wouldn’t remember anything like that now.
Do you look up who writes all the songs you like?
>> No.
Or do you just assume the artist wrote it themselves?
>> I generally assume at least one member in the band was responsible for the writing. Although I know with a lot of modern artists, that’s probably untrue.
Does it bug you when an artist doesn't write their own songs?
>> No.
What about songwriters who don't sing?
>> No.
Isn't a singer who can't write& a writer who can't sing a good partnership?
>> Sure, provided they work in harmony.
Is Bohemian Rhapsody really the greatest rock song of all time?
>> I don’t know. It’s a really fun and unique song, though.
Do you like any of the many covers of Bohemian Rhapsody?
>> I have actually never heard a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Maybe later I’ll look some up, because now I’m curious.
'The kids call it music, but I call it noise!' < Does this sound like you?
>> Nah, I tend to sound like the opposite. I’m always interested in new trends in music.
Which bands (if any) have you had posters of?
>> I don’t have any band posters.
Which bands (if any) do you have T-shirts of?
>> Let’s see if I can remember them all off the top of my head... David Bowie, Amon Amarth (two), Behemoth, Cradle of Filth, Wovenhand, Blaqk Audio... I think that’s it?
Were you mad when Harry Styles released Sign of the Times? (Some were mad bc there was already a Prince song, Sign O' The Times) (Others said he was 'trying to be David Bowie', like, what? Lol)
>> This is all news to me, because I don’t listen to Harry Styles.
What is your favorite David Bowie song? Why?
>> This is very difficult to choose. I’m sweating just thinking about it.
Ziggy Stardust VS. Thin White Duke?
>> Oof. I think I slightly prefer Ziggy, but there’s something immensely, darkly compelling about the Thin White Duke.
What about your favorite song by The Beatles? Why?
>> The only Beatles song I like on its own is I Am the Walrus. Oh, and I guess Hey Jude is pretty catchy. There’s a cover of Tomorrow Never Knows that I really like, and I enjoy the lyrics, but I’ve never heard the original and I’m in no hurry to.
Any favorite music videos?
>> I have a lot of favourite music videos. I eventually made a Youtube playlist for them all, because there are so many.
Group/artist that was big when you were a teen but you didn't like:
>> I don’t even remember who was big when I was a teen aside from Evanescence and Linkin Park (and I liked/like both).
One that was big when you were a teen that you DO like:
>> Oh, already mentioned.
Group/artist you enjoy from before you were born:
>> The Temptations.
Group/artist the kids like these days who you think has potential:
>> I don’t know.
Did you hate Despacito, or did you think it was catchy?
>> I only heard it a couple of times, but it sounded all right to me.
Can you enjoy a song if the lyrics are in a language you don't understand?
>> Sure.
Do lyrics always have to be meaningful?
>> Well, all lyrics mean something. They just don’t necessarily have to mean anything that matters to you or me. Which is fine.
Have you ever made friends because you had the same taste in music?
>> Yeah, in high school.
When a group goes on hiatus, do you actually expect them to come back?
>> I don’t really think much about it.
Any solo work from former band members you love?
>> I know I have examples of this but I can never remember them on command...
Have you ever ruined a song for yourself? (Listened to it too much) Which ones?
>> Nah.
Are you usually in a better mood after listening to music?
>> Yeah, usually.
Do you actually know anybody who DOESN'T love music?
>> Probably. I’ve definitely met a few people who seemed completely indifferent to music, and it blew my mind.
Are there any groups/artists whose music you have heard all/most of? Which ones?
>> Yeah, there are quite a few like that. My Chemical Romance is one, and Pearl Jam, and Coheed and Cambria, and Volbeat... and so on.
A few songs that give you goosebumps?
>> I don’t know. I don’t think I pay much attention to whether a song gives me goosebumps or not.
A few songs that bring back happy memories?
>> Can’t think of any right now.
Any songs you didn't like at first, but grew on you?
>> There are a few songs like that, yeah. There are whole bands like that, in fact. I hated Metallica and Guns N Roses when I was a teenager.
Some covers you liked?
>> Oh man, there are so many covers I like. I’ll give two examples just to keep it short: Dream Theater’s cover of Rainbow’s Stargazer, and Alex Boyé’s cover of Adele’s Hello.
Artist with the best fashion sense?
>> *shrug*
Artist with the best hair?
>> *shrug*
Group/artist you think has improved over time?
>> I don’t know, I generally just think bands and artists evolve over time -- whether that’s an “improvement” or not isn’t something I think about. Either I like it or I don’t, but that’s it.
Group/artist you think was better when they first started?
>> *shrug*
List some of your favorite male vocalists:
>> Eddie Vedder, James Labrie, Warrel Dane, Andy Kuntz (he of the unfortunate name), Hozier, Sam Cooke.
Some of your favorite female vocalists:
>> Floor Jansen, Skin, Alissa White-Gluz, Whitney Houston, Céline Dion, Amy Lee.
Have any of your favorite groups broken up?
>> Oh, absolutely.
Do you wish they would come back?
>> No.
Do you like live recordings?
>> Not usually.
Any artists you find entertaining to watch performing?
>> Trans-Siberian Orchestra, always.
Are there any groups/artists you would like to meet?
>> At this point, I can take it or leave it. I’ve met a lot of bands and it’s been fun. I feel pretty satisfied with my level of band-meeting experience.
Do you ever actually look up music people recommend to you?
>> If I’m actually interested, sure.
Have you discovered any favorites through recommendations?
>> Yeah, I remember I got into The pAper chAse because one of my longtime tumblr mutuals wouldn’t shut up about them for a while a few years ago, lol.
Any groups/artists you plan on checking out soon?
>> Just whatever I run into thanks to Spotify’s algorithmic playlists. I’ve gotten into a lot of new songs because of them.

Alright, the parseltongue thing has me curious.
How do you think Harry's first meeting with all the other Astoria LI's go?
Harry doesn’t hiss at Medusa as much as he does to Hydra (what with the cap on her power) but he does occasionally fall into it. The first thing he ever says to her is “You’re pretty” in Parseltongue and Medusa adores him from that moment forward.
Hades is odd around Harry and none of them know why least of all Hades himself… at first anyway. It’s kind of like how Hades was with Andy, seeing her mother laid over her every movement but not quite. It’s something older. Something familiar. Something that hurts as much as it seems to heal. Immortality is strange like that. The wheel turns ever onwards even if those left alive don’t recognize it at first.
Cerberus (and his brothers) adore Harry okay. Cerberus ends up having to babysit during an emergency once and the two of them become besties immediately. He doesn’t know why a sleepy Harry calls his aura Padfoot, but he does feel at ease with the kid like he only has with Hades or his brothers. He doesn’t know why.
Chimera also gets a bit of the hissing treatment though again not as much as Hydra. He is also not nearly as fluent in Parsel as the other two and is a bit lost frankly. He is mostly amused by this little kid and is very good at encouraging Harry and not letting him get spooked when he does something magical.
Astraeus (as much as I love him) wouldn’t be like A Thing™️ in this one as it follows the Alex route unless the rebuilt H.E.R.A. tried to make peace between the titan children and the gods way down the line which would be funny because he would be mystified by the godling that stands at his parent’s elbows even when most of the pantheon have pulled back from H.E.R.A.

MerleFest is pleased to partner with Come Hear NC, a promotional campaign of the North Carolina Department of Natural & Cultural Resources and the North Carolina Arts Council, to celebrate 2019 as “The Year of Music,” a designation Governor Roy Cooper announced in November of last year. MerleFest, honoring its locale, has programmed over 40 artists who currently call North Carolina home, each artist representing a different aspect of the state’s great musical history. Come Hear NC was designed to celebrate North Carolinians’ groundbreaking contributions to many of America’s most important musical genres — blues, bluegrass, jazz, country, gospel, Americana, rock and everything in-between. It’s fitting then, with 2019 as “The Year of Music,” that the Steep Canyon Rangers, also proud North Carolinians, would debut their North Carolina Songbook set at MerleFest.
About MerleFest:
MerleFest was founded in 1988 in memory of the son of the late American music legend Doc Watson, renowned guitarist Eddy Merle Watson.

Tranmere Rovers: No Longer The Bridesmaid
IT’S June of 1991, and Tranmere Rovers are celebrating promotion after a playoff final at Wembley. John King and Chris Malkin hold aloft the prize, blissfully unaware that it would be almost three decades before anybody else in Rovers colours would share the same honour.
At the time, my old man was living in the States. The LA riots were brewing after the Rodney King tape, Nirvana were about to release Nevermind and I was some six years off existence. Since then he, along with every other Tranmere fan, has had to wait twenty seven years for another taste of success. He’s gone through three houses, had two kids and a divorce along with countless jobs. At fifty seven years old, he finally got to celebrate promotion with his football team for the first time since he turned thirty. To put things into perspective, there would have been a significant percentage of the crowd at Wembley yesterday that have never seen us win anything. No cups, no trophies, no leagues, no finals. The “millenials”, Gen Z, whatever - no memories of glory with Tranmere Rovers whatsoever.
It’s hard to explain what impact that has on you, both emotionally and spiritually. You can swing violently from pessimism and a defeatist, almost nihilistic attitude about football (I’ve sat in Prenton Park on a cold Tuesday night contemplating my existence more times than I could ever count) to uncontainable excitement when the smallest chance of a major victory comes our way. Sure, there’s been good times with Tranmere - Everton, Southampton, several games at Oldham, Stockport 2010, the first half of 12/13, Cooky’s winner at Chester - but none of those victories compare to yesterday. Saturday 12 May 2018 was perhaps the most important test this club has ever faced. It wasn’t a derby, it wasn’t a league game, it wasn’t a cup replay. It was a final. Not just any final, but he second consecutive winner-takes-all fight to the death for the privilege of playing league football again. Twelve or thirteen thousand loyal troops of the Super White Army marched down to Wembley, again, to lay their lives metaphorically on the line in the hope that the players would do the same. Last year we all got caught up in the occasion, taking photos on Wembley Way and enjoying the sunshine in the Green Man beer garden. It was a celebration before the whistle had gone, an occasion in itself rather than a do or die affair. In a way, I was glad it was raining this time around. No messing about, no distractions, just get the job done and get back to Birkenhead as winners.
In typical Rovers fashion, we made it ridiculously hard for ourselves. Liam Ridehalgh seeing red after 50 seconds was a Tranmerian suicide attempt that should have surprised absolutely no one, given our almost impressive ability to shoot ourselves in the foot whenever we get the opportunity to do something great. But surprise it did, as jaws dropped and people slumped in their seats. I looked at my da, as surprise turned to dejection and made its way to anger. “Why the fuck do we always do this?” was the general sentiment. What could possibly be so hard about not letting us down every single time? We barely had time to contemplate the necessary tactical changes before Andy Cook crashed in a header at the far end and sent the travelling troops into a confused and unexpected state of elation. After it had settled down, we looked at the bare facts. 82 minutes to hold onto a 1-0 lead with a man down was not going to be pretty, but it was what we had to do. I’m sure Micky and Jacko had millions of thoughts racing through their heads about how best to see the game out, but one thing was clear: Do. Not. Concede.
I was in the toilets when they scored, in what I’m told was the eighth hour of added time at the end of the first half. Having seen it back, it was the one ball that had been causing us trouble out on our right hand side. Neither Manny Monthe nor Jay Harris could claim to be right backs and Boreham Wood exploited it, cutting it back to find the excellent Bruno Andrade who was never going to miss. Operation Do Not Concede was out the window, and the concourse underneath our end was tense throughout half time. Wembley’s overpriced piss in a plastic cup was not settling my nerves and I began to get flashbacks of Forest Green last year. The one redeeming factor, as I told anyone who would listen, is that we had enough quality on that pitch to score. Connor Jennings, Andy Cook, Jeff Hughes, Ollie Norburn and of course Lord Norwood were all capable of that magic moment that could get us through this ordeal. To tell you the truth, I don’t remember much about the second half. It passed by with me praying that Scotty Davies would have magnets in his gloves and we could miracle our way out of this place. 50, 60, 70, 75... the minutes ticked by and you could feel the dread. I’m not sure if we even touched it for most of the second half, but Boreham Wood weren’t peppering the goal and we were seeing glimpses of a breakaway.
I still don’t know how it managed to get over the line. The looping, deflected cross from Jennings hung in the air for an eternity and Norwood was between their centre halves, leaping early - too early! - to place a downward header straight at the keeper except it wasn’t straight at him, it had spun away and he’s saved it no he hasn’t where’s it gone ITS IN YEEEERSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
That was my thought process before my mates tackled me to the floor. I’d barely seen it nestle in the back of the net before the burst of jubilation from the West stand spilled into full out celebrations. Perhaps it’s bias for the club and the fans that I love, but nobody does limbs quite like Tranmere Rovers. The pure emotion that goes into celebrating a goal so important is unmatched by any team I’ve seen in a long time. It has everything to do with the long wait for glory, the character of the Birkenheaders in the stands and the sheer unpredictability of this football club. The joy, the hugging of strangers and the punching of the air is common in every football ground, but you feel something special attached to Tranmere. It means so much because the opportunities knock so rarely. Yesterday’s win was the first time in almost three decades we seized one properly, got a good grip of it and claimed it for ourselves. This was our time, our day, our fucking moment. My old fella was too nervous to watch, but in the final 10 minutes, Boreham Wood barely threatened to equalise. How could they? Norwood’s sucker punch of a header had deflated all five of their fans, and their long balls into the box were meat and drink for Manny and Macca. Yet as ever with The Rovers, we don’t celebrate until the final whistle goes. Only then did the outpouring of emotion begin, a cavalcade of white shirts racing to the front of the stand to be near their heroes. Some cried, some cheered, some screamed. I hugged my dad and told him it’s all been worth it. The ten men of Tranmere made themselves heroes, valiantly breaking a near 30 year curse that has haunted this club and its loyal fans. They’ll never have to buy a pint in Birkenhead again. The players have said all season that they’d die for each other, and on that big Wembley pitch they proved it.
Tranmere Rovers were the nearly men. The second choice. The unlucky loser. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride - but this weekend that changed. We’re getting married to our childhood sweetheart and our best friend, the Football League. I can’t wait for the honeymoon.

From lining up alongside Lingard to the barber shop - how you get over rejection by Man Utd
From lining up alongside Lingard to the barber shop - how you get over rejection by Man Utd
From lining up alongside Lingard to the barber shop – how you get over rejection by Man Utd
When Luke Giverin scored against Manchester City in 2012, he celebrated his goal with Paul Pogba
Six years ago, he celebrated alongside Paul Pogba – now he’d like to cut the Frenchman’s hair.
Luke Giverin thought he might make it at Manchester United, but several years after leaving the Premier League club he has a new career and new dreams.
As a new MOTD Kickabout documentary called Never Give Up explores, rejection by a top-flight team can be difficult, but skills learned on the field can be very valuable off it.
The memories came flooding back
When Vincent Kompany scored the opening goal for Manchester City in the recent derby, the memories came flooding back for Giverin.
The 25-year-old was transported from his home in Salford back to 2012, when Kompany had also scored in the Manchester derby.
Less than a month after Kompany’s winning goal, Giverin was part of a United side playing in the Manchester Senior Cup final, alongside Pogba and Jesse Lingard.
United, who earlier that season had won the Premier Reserve League, were leading Manchester City 1-0 at Etihad Stadium.
Late in stoppage time, striker Will Keane – now at Championship side Hull City – controlled a high ball and guided it into the path of Giverin, who had come on as a second-half substitute.
“My instructions were to not go forward, and double up on the right winger. But five minutes after coming on, the ball got played forward. I looked around and thought, ‘I’ve got fresh legs, I’m going to go for it’,” he said.
Giverin, on his weaker right side, took a confident first touch out of his feet and drove into the opposition box.
“I decided to take the shot and luckily for me it went in. As I went off to celebrate, Paul Pogba dragged me to the ground and all my team-mates jumped on me. My friends and family were in the stands watching as I scored and lifted the cup, which made it one of the most special moments in my life.”
Giverin signed for United as a seven-year-old – but drifted out of football after he was released by the Premier League club
A few days earlier, Giverin had made his debut for the first team in Harry Gregg’s testimonial match. It was the stuff of dreams for a boy born in Salford who joined United at the age of seven.
“The experience was incredible. Going on the first-team plane, seeing all the fans when we landed at Belfast airport,” he said.
United had taken a strong side, featuring the likes of Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Dimitar Berbatov.
Giverin did not expect to play but was told by manager Sir Alex Ferguson that he would replace Patrice Evra.
“All the first-team players were coming up to me before I went on and said to me: ‘Don’t worry about anything – just do your best.’ So that’s what I went on and tried to do. And I loved it.”
‘It felt like my life was over’
Giverin was sent on loan to Belgian side Royal Antwerp during the 2012-13 season, following in the footsteps of former first-team players Jonny Evans, John O’Shea and Danny Simpson.
He lived away from Manchester for the first time and got a proper taste of what professional football was like – playing in a stadium full of thousands of fans week in, week out.
He played 26 times for Antwerp, scoring three goals and making 10 assists from midfield.
But shortly after his return, and two years after being signed as a scholar by United, he was told he was being released.
Giverin believes many of the behaviours he learned as a trainee at United are now helping him
“It felt like my life was over,” said Giverin. “Thinking I was never going to come back to Carrington and train. Everything I had ever known.
“After I left United, I spent six months at home, just waiting for a club to knock on the door and say: ‘Here’s a contract.’ But that’s just not the way it works.”
Immediately after his departure, Giverin had trials at Derby County and Bury – but was told he was too small and not strong enough to make it as a professional.
Following a brief spell at non-league Salford City, he spent two years in Australia, working as a coach and playing in the National Premier League for Manly United and Dulwich Hill.
It was in Australia that Giverin discovered a new perspective on life and, with that, a new-found love for coaching.
‘He’s the best I’ve ever come across’
Rejection was hard to take for Giverin, who spent six months waiting for something to happen, but he now believes that what he learnt there he can carry through life
Giverin now dedicates his spare time to one-on-one coaching with young footballers, to help them develop specific areas of their game. And he has recently started a traineeship as a barber.
“It’s completely different to playing football,” he said. “But I’m really enjoying it. Once you progress, it’s like anything – you do your best and get better at it. I took the opportunity to come here with both hands.”
And the manager of the barber shop, Andy Baldwin, can see how Giverin’s upbringing at United has influenced the way he approaches his working life.
“He’s a fantastic man,” said Baldwin. “A real professional, how he goes about his business as a barber, and is the best trainee I’ve ever come across. It’s a natural thing to him and he’s fascinated with trying to learn a new skill.
“As a football fan, I get blown away listening to some of the stories from his football career.”
‘It just goes to show, the hard work can pay off’
Giverin came through the ranks with Lingard, has known him since they were seven, and remains friends with the England international.
Giverin and Lingard came through the ranks together at United – and the former is now waiting for an opportunity to get to grips with the latter’s hair
“He’s doing so well now, and I’m proud of him,” he said. “Not a lot of people have seen how incredibly hard he’s worked to get to the top.”
Despite not making the grade at United, Giverin believes a lot of what he learned there remains extremely valuable.
He said: “When I was released, Sir Alex Ferguson said to me: ‘Just because you’re leaving, it doesn’t mean that’s it and the door is shut. If you ever need anything, then you can always phone and speak to us.’
“My time at United taught me that it’s not just a lesson of guiding you how to play football, it’s to try and make you a better person too.
“I love what I’m doing at the moment. I’ve got the memories from being at Manchester United but now I’m focused on the present.
“What I’ve learned at this club is what I’m now trying to pass on to those kids, so hopefully they can go on and achieve their dreams in football.”

Walk-off: Alabama beats Georgia in OT for national title | WBNS-10TV Columbus, Ohio

Walk-off: Alabama beats Georgia in OT for national title | WBNS-10TV Columbus, Ohio
ATLANTA — To add another championship to the greatest dynasty college football has ever seen, Alabama turned to its quarterback of the future, and Tua Tagovailoa proved that his time is now.
The freshman quarterback, who had played mostly mop-up duty this season, came off the bench to spark a comeback and threw a 41-yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith that gave No. 4 Alabama a 26-23 overtime victory against No. 3 Georgia on Monday night for the College Football Playoff national championship.
Tagovailoa entered the game at halftime, replacing a struggling Jalen Hurts, and threw three touchdown passes to give the Crimson Tide its fifth national championship since 2009 under coach Nick Saban.
“He just stepped in and did his thing,” Hurts said. “He’s built for stuff like this. I’m so happy for him.” The Tide might have a quarterback controversy ahead, but first Alabama will celebrate another title.
For the third straight season, Alabama played a classic CFP final. The Tide split two with Clemson, losing last season on a touchdown with a second left.
What was Saban thinking as the winning pass soared this time?
“I could not believe it,” he said. “There’s lots of highs and lows. Last year we lost on the last play of the game and this year we won on the last play of the game. These kids really responded the right way. We said last year, ‘Don’t waste the feeling.’ They sure didn’t, the way they played tonight.”
Smith streaked into the end zone and moments later confetti rained and even Saban seemed almost giddy after watching maybe the most improbable victory of his unmatched career. A few hours later, Alabama was voted No. 1 in the final AP college football poll for the 11th time, three more than any other program.
After Alabama kicker Andy Pappanastos missed a 36-yard field goal that would have won it for the Tide (13-1) in the final seconds of regulation , Georgia (13-2) took the lead with a 51-yard field goal from Rodrigo Blankenship in overtime.
Tagovailoa took a terrible sack on Alabama’s first play, losing 16 yards. On the next he found Smith, another freshman, and hit him in stride for the national championship.
Tagovailoa was brilliant at times, though he had a few freshman moments. He threw an interception when he tried to pass on a running play and all his receivers were blocking. He also darted away from pass rushers and made some impeccable throws, showing poise of a veteran. Facing fourth-and-goal from the 7, down seven, the left-hander moved to his left and zipped a pass through traffic that hit Calvin Ridley in the numbers for the tying score with 3:49 left in the fourth quarter.
He finished 14 for 24 for 166 yards. The winning play was, basically, four receivers going deep.
“After the sack, we just got up and took it to the next play,” Tagovailoa said. “I looked back out, and he was wide open. Smitty was wide open.” Freshmen were everywhere for the Alabama offense in the second half: Najee Harris at running back; Henry Ruggs III at receiver; Alex Leatherwood at left tackle after All-American Jonah Williams was hurt. It’s a testament to the relentless machine Saban has built.
But this game will be remembered most for his decision to change quarterbacks trailing 13-0.
“I just thought we had to throw the ball, and I felt he could do it better, and he did,” Saban said Tagovailoa. “He did a good job, made some plays in the passing game. Just a great win. I’m so happy for Alabama fans. Great for our players. Unbelievable.”
Saban now has six major poll national championships, including one at LSU, matching the record set by the man who led Alabama’s last dynasty, coach Paul Bear Bryant.
This was nothing like the others.
With President Trump in attendance, the all-Southeastern Conference matchup was all Georgia in the first half before Saban pulled Hurts and the five-star recruit from Hawaii entered. The president watched the second half from Air Force One.
“I don’t know how Coach Saban found me all the way in Hawaii from Alabama,” Tagovailoa said. “Thank God he found me and we’re here right now.”
The Tide trailed 20-7 in the third quarter after Georgia’s freshman quarterback, Jake Fromm, hit Mecole Hardman for an 80-yard touchdown pass that had the Georgia fans feeling good about ending a national title drought that dates back to 1980.
Fromm threw for 232 yards and for a while it looked as if he was going to be the freshman star of the game, the first to true freshman to lead his team to a national title season since Jamelle Holieway for Oklahoma in 1985.
“I mean, if you want to find out about Jake Fromm, go ask those guys on the other side of the ball, and they’ll tell you because that’s a really good defense he just went against,” Georgia coach Smart said.
A little less than a year after the Atlanta Falcons blew a 25-point lead and lost in overtime to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, there was more pain for many of the local fans. Two years ago, Georgia brought in Smart, Saban’s top lieutenant, to bring to his alma mater a dose of Alabama’s Process.
Smart, who spent 11 seasons with Saban — eight as defensive coordinator in Tuscaloosa — quickly built ‘Bama East. It was Georgia that won the SEC this season. Alabama had to slip into the playoff without even winning its division.
With the title game being played 70 miles from Georgia’s campus in Athens, Dawgs fans packed Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but it turned out to be sweet home for Alabama. Now Saban is 12-0 against his former assistants.
But not without angst.
Alabama drove into the red zone in the final minute and Saban started playing for a winning field goal to end the game. A nervous quiet gripped the crowd of 77,430 as ‘Bama burned the clock. With the ball spotted in the middle of the field, Pappanastos lined up for a kick to win the national championship. The snap and hold looked fine, but the kicked missed badly to the left.
For the second straight week, Georgia was going to overtime. The Bulldogs beat Oklahoma in a wild Rose Bowl in double overtime to get here, and after Jonathan Ledbetter and Davin Bellamy sacked Tagovailoa for a big loss on the first play, Alabama was in trouble — second-and-26.
Not for long. Tagovailoa looked off the safety and threw the biggest touchdown pass in the history of Alabama football.

I was wondering how my old "friend" Paris has been doing in recent years. Looked her up on Twitter. I'm there, who's this latest "Beau". Haven't heard of these past half dozen guys since though. Nothing has changed with her. haha.Need some place online to post a bunch of text room so doing this here even though you guys will read it too. But this is for her to check out from elsewhere ok.This is gonna take some text room. Let's do the Dr. Phil and wonder and try to analyze the ongoing situation of Paris's boyfriends over the years. How come none of 'em work out.Checking the whodatedwho site,http://ift.tt/2mVxS3L's up to guy #53. I'd like to do a couple reddit style r/dataisbeautiful graphs of these guys. One sorted by most recent, the other graph would be sorted by who lasted the longest. Maybe one of you handy fellows can do that. See who lasted the longest. Sure is a lot of data. Lets take a look at their stats."Paris Hilton has been engaged to Paris Kasidokostas Latsis (2005) and Jason Shaw (2002 - 2003)."oh oh, what's this.. guys who got "serious". Note that is a VERY short list and was back in the good old days before things became jaded. She said "fuck it" to the getting married after only those two. And those were in the first period of the game. Now she's oh, in the middle of the second period at the game of life.I haven't checked out this celeb shit since I used to joke around with them in private rooms on myspace 2006. I remember that other Paris dude.. was looking like "true love" eh. Both the same first names, rich heirs.Later though that Benji guy.. seemed like he was lasting long. But when you look at these stats he was just par for the course.What else do we got here.. "Paris Hilton has been in relationships with Thomas Gross (2015 - 2016), Josh Upshaw (2014), River Viiperi (2012 - 2014), Afrojack (2011 - 2012), Cy Waits (2010 - 2011), Doug Reinhardt (2009 - 2010), Benji Madden (2008), Alex Vaggo (2007), Matt Leinart (2007), Stavros Niarchos (2005 - 2006), Chad Muska (2004 - 2005), Fred Durst (2004), Simon Rex (2004 - 2008), Nick Carter (2003 - 2004), Deryck Whibley (2003), Joe Francis (2003), Rick Salomon (2001), Leonardo DiCaprio (2000), Oscar De La Hoya (2000), Edward Furlong (1999 - 2000) and Randy Spelling (1996 - 1999).""Paris Hilton has had encounters with Todd Phillips (2011), Cristiano Ronaldo (2009), Jared Leto (2008), 50 Cent (2008), Brody Jenner (2007), DJ AM (2007), Adrian Grenier (2007), Tyler Atkins (2007), Josh Henderson (2007), Kid Rock (2007), James Neate (2006), Andy Roddick (2006), Criss Angel (2006 - 2007), Travis Barker (2006), Brandon Jack James (2006), Scott Storch (2006), Val Kilmer (2005), Lucas Babin (2004), Jake Sumner (2004), Jack Osbourne (2003), Mark McGrath (2003) and Vincent Gallo (2003)."Fuck, this is a lot of data. haha. Hope I got enough text limit room. This is actually par for the course with most celebs. MOST girls slut it up like that in Hollywood. These "encounters", most people don't know about 'em in mainstream news. Let's take a look at these numbers. lol.Fuck, I need a dataisbeautiful graph on these boys though. See which pecker was the longest, so to speak.Hang on, they got the sort by "table" and it notes, length. haha.. no not pecker length. Fuck, this is a lot of data to go thru. I'm not gonna use the word "slut" in any of this though, ok. haha. She's just a "trooper" who's hanging in there hopeful for true love, someday. ROFL! Omg this shit is making me laugh. But holy shit, that's a hell of a lot of either getting dumped or being dumped. She doesn't care though, she needs her sex all the time and will keep going at it. She's not a quitter though, I'll give her that. She's hanging in there hopeful for true love some day. lol. yes, I had to put a "lol" after that one. lolShe must have her heart hardened at this point. If they start to lose interest, she thinks, well I've seen that before. They get replaced like a servant around the mansion and she doesn't think about them twice later. She goes, oh well I guess they sorta last as long as dogs. How long did Tinkerbell last? That's the one I remember back then. But no way that's still around. So she keeps getting other "Tinkerbells" same thing as the boys.Partner Type Start End Length 53 Chris Zylka Relationship Aug 2016 present 7 months52 Thomas Gross Relationship May 2015 Apr 2016 11 months51 Jordan Barrett Encounter R Jan 2015 Jan 2015 -50 Josh Upshaw Relationship Jul 2014 Sep 2014 2 months49 River Viiperi Relationship Sep 2012 Jul 2014 1 year48 Afrojack Relationship Sep 2011 Aug 2012 11 months47 Todd Phillips Encounter Jul 2011 Jul 2011 -46 Cy Waits Relationship Aug 2010 Jun 2011 10 months45 Cristiano Ronaldo Encounter Jun 2009 Jun 2009 -44 Doug Reinhardt Relationship Feb 2009 Apr 2010 1 year43 Benji Madden Relationship Feb 2008 Nov 2008 9 months42 Jared Leto Encounter Jan 2008 Jan 2008 -41 50 Cent Encounter 2008 2008 -40 Julian Feitsma Encounter R Dec 2007 Dec 2007 -39 Brody Jenner Encounter Dec 2007 Dec 2007 -38 Alex Vaggo Relationship Sep 2007 Dec 2007 3 months37 DJ AM Encounter Sep 2007 Sep 2007 -36 Adrian Grenier Encounter Aug 2007 Aug 2007 -35 Tyler Atkins Encounter Jul 2007 Jul 2007 -34 James Blunt Encounter R Apr 2007 Apr 2007 -33 Matt Leinart Relationship Apr 2007 Jul 2007 3 months32 Josh Henderson Encounter Mar 2007 Mar 2007 -31 Kid Rock Encounter 2007 2007 -30 Harry Morton Encounter R Nov 2006 Nov 2006 -29 Criss Angel Encounter Oct 2006 Feb 2007 4 months28 James Neate Encounter Oct 2006 Oct 2006 -27 Andy Roddick Encounter Oct 2006 Oct 2006 -26 Travis Barker Encounter Sep 2006 Sep 2006 -25 Brandon Jack James Encounter Jul 2006 Jul 2006 -24 José Théodore Encounter R Jun 2006 Jun 2006 -23 Scott Storch Encounter 2006 2006 -22 Stavros Niarchos Relationship Oct 2005 Apr 2006 6 months21 Val Kilmer Encounter Mar 2005 Mar 2005 -20 Paris Kasidokostas Latsis Relationship Dec 2004 Sep 2005 9 months19 Chad Muska Relationship Nov 2004 Feb 2005 3 months18 Lucas Babin Encounter Oct 2004 Nov 2004 1 month17 Fred Durst Relationship Aug 2004 Oct 2004 2 months16 Jake Sumner Encounter Jul 2004 Jul 2004 -15 Chad Michael Murray Encounter R May 2004 May 2004 -14 Simon Rex Relationship 2004 2008 4 years13 Nick Carter Relationship Dec 2003 Jul 2004 7 months12 Jack Osbourne Encounter Sep 2003 Sep 2003 -11 Deryck Whibley Relationship Jun 2003 Nov 2003 5 months10 Mark McGrath Encounter May 2003 May 2003 -9 Vincent Gallo Encounter Apr 2003 Apr 2003 -8 Joe Francis Relationship 2003 2003 -7 Jason Shaw Relationship Aug 2001 Feb 2003 1 year6 Tom Sizemore Encounter R Jun 2001 Jun 2001 -5 Rick Salomon Relationship Feb 2001 May 2001 2 months4 Leonardo DiCaprio Relationship R Sep 2000 Nov 2000 2 months3 Oscar De La Hoya Relationship R Jun 2000 Aug 2000 2 months2 Edward Furlong Relationship Sep 1999 May 2000 8 months1 Randy Spelling Relationship May 1996 Jul 1999 3 yearsphew.. thats a lot of data. Hang on.. Some chicks they joke around about how they fuck the whole football team.. but come on here.. 53 guys.. How many people can fit in a Greyhound bus? haha.. lemme go check.Holy shit. "Greyhound currently has 65 of the G4500 models on the road. First purchased in 1995, these coaches carry 54 or 55 passengers. Greyhound has 189 of these buses in their fleet."omg.. no vancancy a couple guys from now, Paris! hahaha. Imagine walking into that bus with all the boys she fucked. That's pretty bad, Paris. hahaha! And you're not a slut? :-D Fuck, I like bugging her. haha.How many guys in a football team?"11 players. In both American and European football, no more than 11 players are allowed on the field at any one time from each team"So she fucked how many football teams? hahaha. Well she's almost at 5, because that'd be 55. That's a lot of football teams there, paris. But those are just the guys on the field.How about hockey teams. lol. Under the rules of the International Ice Hockey Federation, a hockey team is allowed to have up to 20 players on the bench with an additional two goalkeepers. So that's 22.. BOTH teams, 44. She could go at BOTH teams, plus the referees and coaches. ROFL.ok let's sort that list again but this time by which "dude" tried to be "long term" with her. Which dude lasted the longest. lol.

Longest dude was the first one. 3 years. After that, 3 guys that lasted one year. Looks like the "encounters" went on in the earlier years. In later years they're relationships. None of the 52 boys have broke the 1 year barrier. Happy anniversary, eh Paris. hahaha :-DThis is tough data to go thru then, now you have to look at, ok what's going on in recent years, do they last longer. But it's ALL less than 1 year though. Huge relationship issues just right there. But hey, let's analyze which chump doesn't bail out after a few months.What exactly is the problem here. This isn't just one guy. This is 4 football teams and plus the coaches and all the referees, and probably might as well throw in the fucking play-by-play commentators in the announcement box. lol ok this makes your head spin that, Houston.. sure sounds like we've got a problem.I get it, sex becomes routine after a while. I think what's going on is they lose interest and she goes, "fuck them" and gets another one.Looking at the stats, she does seem to try to make them hang around longer in later years. So you do see some improvement there. But the sheer amount is not normal. There's underlying issues here. It's like, WHY, how come they bail out.I know I read years ago they found Valtrex in her locker. But they all have STD's in Hollywood.A few months ago read about Jim Carrey's ex suing him saying he had 3 kinds of STDs or something. Hollywood, they're all inbred eh. So they all get those same diseases then it's ok if they shag each other. That's gotta come into play with why these guys don't last long.And then what's going on with no kids. At that age, you're almost done. I get it, you'd need a long term guy to do that first. So if that doesn't happen, not gonna be workin out there. But time's runnin out if she has that planned. Maybe she can't have kids, or isn't interested. Something fishy there too, abnormal.So I don't know what's going on there.. What do we got.. well nobody lasts longer than a year. The question is, WHY. This isn't just one guy either it's fucking 52 of them. haha. I don't know.. go figure. haha. It isn't just one of them, it's ALL of them. Is it her or is it them that's the problem.Where does this "new guy" stand in the rankings. If you sort it by longest, he's #11 on the all time hall of fame. haha. Pretty good though, 7 months. We'll give him a participation ribbon. lol. If he can make it past the 1 year, he gets a trooper trophy. lolLet's go back to the beginning. What went on with her there after this first guy. He lasted 3 years, it was normal.. but then wow she slutted it up, going wild with all those teams of guys. haha. It's like she said "fuck it" after that first guy broke her heart or he got bored and was routine and didn't love her, shit like that.She got burned by the fire and said "fuck this" after that. But she keeps trying though. She keeps hanging in there. She didn't quit and say fuck men, they're all assholes and dyke it up. So good for you there, sweetie. hahaha. Sometimes they do that though, they say fuck men. Christ, you'd think at this point she'd have done that. hahaha. How many times can you get burned by fire.Is the problem her, or is it THEM. That's a good question. You know how boys are. They cheat eh. They get bored after a while. The old same sex routine. Could be them. They usually are all the same.Plus here's a huge factor to the problem. She likes "hot guys", right. Well, they're even worse. As Dr. Phil would make you wonder to yourself, how's what you're doing been working out for ya.Well, I'd say, maybe it's this choice of "hot guy" which could be the problem with things never lasting long term. If you change your gameplan and go for a guy that other women don't always want to have your man, you'd take that factor out. So you got a problem there. Either way, whatever's going on, you can't dispute the stats. lol. Doesn't look good. Mr what's his name now, has a 98% chance he won't be around next summer. That's a little discouraging though, eh? :-D Fuck, this shit makes me laugh.Like what's going on here with these fucking guys. A lot of them I don't recognize their names. I betcha they "use" her as a stepping stone to initially get a bit famous and work in the industry. Then once that factor wears off, they can't go up in the industry by using her more so she gets dumped.Maybe they never really truly loved her, just pretend the whole time with fake kisses and later that shit doesn't last. This is why none of them last.But.. if they're more famous than her, that's not as much of a factor, of her being used to increase their fame. I think a lot of these more famous guys don't want to get involved with her because this sex track record doesn't look good. Everybody would think, well this guy isn't gonna last. You're looking at 98% odds, right. So everybody's staying away. Plus STD's. Not good.No wonder she has this glazed depressed look in that latest NYpost photoshoot. Plus she's always getting busted for drugs. Pot isn't too bad but how about that coke. Need it to just feel normal. That'll fuck up your mood of being "happy". Oh and when they found the valtrex they found ambien. Well she'd likely be on who knows what kinds of all sorts of pills. They all do that in hollywood. That shit fucks ya up. Anti-depressants and what not. No wonder she's not smiling in those photoshoots. lol.In earlier years there were more recognizable celeb names but lately she goes for these unknown guys who likely use her more. No shit that's not gonna work out.So there ya go.. that a fair analysis at the data. Lot of issues. Some of this shit backfires on her. She gets these unknowns who use her to move up in the industry. Then once that wears off, they bail out.She used to fuck more recognizable bigger name celebs but they have women chasing after them. Higher likelihood they'll leave.These new guys they may kinda need her to use her for the money too. Sorta like opposite of rich guys do with younger girls.So fuckin sad a lot of this. haha. You can picture the dudes kissing her and pretending they love her.. Yeah sorta works in the start but they can't fake the honeymoon for too long eh.Something's fishy though.. why do none of them last past the 1 year point. Huge barrier. There's something about what happens in a relationship then. Sex becomes routine. They want the thrill of the chase with a new person.I don't think even Dr. Phil can help ya out there. hahaha. You're on your own with your issues. lol. I perhaps gave you a few pointers about problem areas, and noticeable trends in the stats. Ask yourself WHY, about it all, Paris. Could help you figure out what the problem is ;-) via /r/dating_advice
