Fangirl Friday: Paul McCartney

This is part two: electric boogaloo. I've written about Paul McCartney several times on my blog as he is my ride or die celebrity crush. I wrote about him in 2020 in "Casually Screaming About Paul McCartney" and the very first "That Time..." post was about the conspiracy that he died in 1966 and was replaced with an imposter.

I thought the first Fangirl Friday of 2023 could be about the man I never shut up about.

Shockingly, I've had my current laptop for a little over a year, but I didn't have any photos of him on it, so I had to download some photos from my phone. Yes, I have a designated Paul McCartney album on my phone. I will not be accepting criticism at this time.

I explained in the "Casually Screaming" post about how I became a fan, so I won't get into that. This past December made an entire decade I've been in love with him. Never in a million years would I have thought my ride or die celebrity crush would be a man 55 years older than me. It's much more than a "oh hot celebrity" kind of crush, because I actually got into old man Paul before I even touched young Beatle Paul.

This man has gotten me through some of the darkest times in my life. I used to keep a photo of him in my school notebooks to look at whenever I was having a rough day. Not only has this man helped me with his music, but he is also one of my biggest muses. I've written so much with his music as a backing track. I've also created one of my favorite original characters inspired by him. I also wrote cringey RPF back in 2014 about him. Some that is still on Wattpad under my old pseudonym.

For the 10th anniversary of when I fell in love with this old man, I posted ten songs of his that I love on Tumblr. They're not my top 10, just 10 random songs throughout his career I love. Though, honestly a few of those songs would be on the top 10 list. If anyone is interested, I might rank my top 10 Paul songs and write about them in a post. It'll just be his solo work because picking just 10 songs from his entire 60+ year career would be near impossible for me.

As nerdy or weird as it sounds, my love for him grows every year. I would love to one day see him perform live. The ultimate dream is to meet him and tell him how much he means to me, but that's just a dream I doubt would ever happen.

While my love for him has become meme-ish and it's become my brand, I genuinely do love him. He is one of my heroes that I admire with the most love and respect my little heart can produce. It's one of those I love him so much it hurts type loves. It's a parasocial one-sided love. Man has no idea that I exist, but that's okay. Though I used to cry about it when I was fifteen. I was overdramatic. I'm still overdramatic, but with different things. Like fictional characters.

I wish I could more easily find my OG Instagram posts about Paul from 2013-14 so I can show how cringey and dramatic I was about this man just because looking back on it, it was hilarious. I am still in horror that former Wings member, Denny Laine follows me, but I hope the old cringe is too old and far for him to ever stumble across.

Without making this post too long, I'll end it here. A decade long love that continues. Here's to the last ten years and here's to the next ten and more!

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
