Today I'm thankful for... The faces Darren Criss makes when he hits high notes


So amazing artist and my future husband Darren Criss has FINALLY been discovered and I'm so happy! He played Blaine on Glee last night and while I freaking couldn't stand Glee, I watched it. I'm pretty sure that's the only thing that could get me to watch it. My facebook status was actually "Sami Nielsen is upset that of all TV shows Darren Criss could get his big break on, it's freaking Glee. AND his character is Kurt's boyfriend. It's like wishing for a stallion and getting Francis the Talking Mule." But you know what? It was actually pretty good! I mean, this might turn into a regular thing for me if Darren becomes a regular character! But so yeah I was pretty upset when I heard his character is gay, not because I'm homophobic or anything crazy like that, but if he and Kurt start dating, that'll really shatter the image I have in my mind of us growing old and being in love together forever, y'know?

In all seriousness, though, I'm glad the show addressed the issue of homosexual kids being bullied. I don't care what your views on homosexuality may be, no one deserves to be bullied or abused for any reason. That kind of thing can really mess a kid up.

Anywho, the only thing I'm upset about now is the fact that a bunch of people are going to be like "OMG(sh) Darren Criss I love him tee hee lolz!" It's like when people say they "totally love" that one band and when you ask them what songs they like from them they can only name like two. Starkids? Yeah. They love him. Gleeks? I think they need a bit more Darren before they can say they love him, but I think there'll be plenty to go around. Fingers crossed that he becomes a regular character!

So in the episode Darren sings a cover of "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry. You can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn8IkrxLOfY. I've pretty much listened to it 6,000 times. Literally. Now, I think some of Katy Perry's music is alright, but I love this cover a bit more than the original, I have to say. So there are a couple parts of the song where Darren has to hit a high note or an epic note. Most people pull faces when they hit said awesome notes. Yeah, you know the faces I'm talkin 'bout!


See, a lot of people look uncomfortable when they sing all intense like that. Right now you may be asking, "But Sami, how does he still look super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot while doing it?" Well, reader, the simple answer is the world will never know.

Um, air guitar? HECK YES. I think he did that somewhere in AVPM or AVPS, but I can't think of where it would be! Any suggestions?

Elena, on the other hand, is particularly fond of the thought of Darren in "skin-tight jeans." ...I can't say I blame her.

But about Darren in general, now... A guy who sings, plays violin, piano, guitar, sings, acts, loves oldies, Disney movies, and Harry Potter, and is absolutely hilarious. And smexy, to boot! I mean, are you kidding me? It's like someone invaded my subconscious, extracted my list of desirable qualities in a man, and decided to mash them together into a pretty fiiiiiiiiine package. His Disney covers are seriously the only Disney remakes I've ever heard that I genuinely like. His "Part of Your World"? Yeah, I probably like that more than the original, which is saying something. Also, his AVPM, AVPS, and personal album and EP "Human" are all amazing. And quite honestly, any guy who can play the piano already has me half won over. The other half I would say is largly occupied by his looks (Yeah, I'm not shallow). I mean, my goodness! What divine cabbage patch did his saintly parents pluck him from?? I absolutely love his hair. Long or short, I don't care. He looks amazing either way. Right now I'm a fan of his short hair, but I just flip over curly hair. And his eyes are so big! Not in a creepy bug-eyed way, either. On top of that, Glee put him in a preppy suit coat. OHMYGOSH.

I mean ca'mon! Who doesn't love THAT?? Do you see the little smirk??

But above all else, what I really love about him is that he wrote a love song named "Sami." I've never heard a song with my name in it, let alone my nickname that's spelled the way mine is or one that is so beautiful! Also, if that isn't proof that we were meant to be, I don't know what is. Go listen for yourself! It really is an awesome song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH-KhaqPkZs

P.S. I hope to be doing this "Today I'm thankful for..." thing more often. A girl I'm friends with on facebook named one of her notes that and I got inspired :) I'm going to try to do it at least once a week, if not more. I've got a lot of things to be thankful for so I won't be running out of topics any time soon!

P.P.S.

Awwwwww yeeeeeeaaaahhh.... ;)
