It might be old news to you, but I was excited to hear that the Grammy prize for Best Album went to Arcade Fire's the Suburbs.
So excited that I started to dance around, in fact.
I mean, I was leafing through a magazine and there was a section about celebrities or whatever, mentioning how Lady Gaga dressed in the event and saying that she got the Best Pop Album prize, but nor her nor any of the others "big names" got the Best Album because it went to an indie rock Canadian band... Arcade Fire.
GUYS, I CAN'T EVEN -- This band is my favourite the last few months and they have beautiful, brilliant music and this just made me so happy!

Now I will proceed to linking you some of my favourite songs by Arcade Fire. Just because.

My Unpopular Opinions
( I saw this on Tumblr and I thought... why not? Since I don't have a Tumblr account... Here you go, Blogger.)
I can't really get why video games are supposed to be exciting. I always get bored.
I don't think happy endings are cheap or always bad - I just like them with a twist.
I haven't read any "classic" comics - DC, Marvel, etc. I'm not interested in super heroes - I started with Disney stories and then went directly to artsy, modern stuff.
I hate it when conversations turn pervy.
I also don't understand why sex is still a taboo, why thinking it is normal is either pervy or slutty and I don't have problems talking seriously about it.
I don't think communism = fascism. I strongly disagree.
I don't like painted nails. I have only recently started to think they're okay.
Dorky guys/girls are awesome.
I don't get why tomboyish/non-mainstream/nerdy girls shouldn't be attractive.
I try to think smoking doesn't make you cool... However, I can't resist believing that it does look so damn cool. (not a smoker, though)
FUCK YEAH WOMEN CAN SWEAR AS WELL.
(Also the suffragettes were awesome.)
Dead languages are also awesome.
(Feel free to do this yourself, it's great)

'Tis a quick post
This thing. Read it. Read iiiiit. It's one of my favourite webcomics! Very nice art, lovely dialogue, and it's oh-so-very-dorky. (I mean, it's about a 18th century university and a dorky guy and an awesome librarian lady and it has mystery!) God, my love for all things dorky.
Also Dylan Meconis is seriously brilliant.
(Yes. I will eventually make a post that doesn't have to do with comics and/or my enormous dorkiness and be highly poetic and touching. Yeah. Eventually.)

Everything is going to be fine.
I really do believe that.
Sincerely.
Not in a flamboyantly optimistic sort of way.
In a honest way.
I am mostly an optimist (and quite an idealist), but it hasn't got to do with it.
It has to do with the mere fact that things change.
No matter what you do, they change.
No matter how fucked up you think everything is.
No matter the fact you can't find a solution to the equation.
No matter how weird you think everything is.
Things will change. It will be different.
And in one or more ways, it's gonna be better.
Even if you know you haven't done well in an exam, you still are relieved. You wrote, it's over.
Even when you lose a friend, you feel better - no more pressure; maybe a strong bond with someone else.
And sometimes, it's just plain fine!
I honestly believe it when I say it, even if I can't see light at the moment, that everything is going to be fine.
Because it's going to be different. And you can see the good side of things. Or things will be good by themselves.
And goodness, just because!
PS. This is dedicated to A. You are stupid and awesome and very lovable.
PPS. My way to say "Happy New Year!!", I guess? May it be a awesome one!
PPPS. Blogger is stupid for not allowing exclamation marks in tags.
PPPPS. Cards are sent! I hope they don't arrive too late, but you know how the post is.
PPPPPS. My love of the day is exclamation marks, really!
PPPPPPS. I was reading someone's tumblr page and I saw this: "That awkward moment when you feel an actual physical ache in your chest because of the romance of two fictional characters. " Oh goodness. Story of my life. If you can relate, be nerdy with me about it! I'd love to hear.

Sleepily random. Whatever.
So, first of all! GIVEAWAY RESULTS! :D
Unfortunately, I only got like, 4 comments. Still, that's okay, because I decided I'll make a card for all four of you! So, Maria G., Magda and Natalie, please send me an e-mail at elviella@yahoo.com to give me your address and stuff so I can send these babies to you! :P
(I already know the fourth commenter's address)
Second: The posts about Christmas traditions will go on, don't think I've forgotten them. I just had a lot of studying to do the past week. Also! My blog is going to go through a massive facelift, so don't be surprised if you come back and can't really recognise it. :P
Alsooo. It was my birthday about 50 days ago! I'm telling this to you now because my family's gift for me just arrived! And dude, is it awesome! My mom was super secretive about it and had asked me to give her some of my favourite paintings/drawings so she could use it for my gift. Of course I gave it to her super late, so the gift itself was late but I don't care 'cause I LOVE it. Have a look!
Apparently she has a friend that makes custom bags/purses and they designed this beautiful thing and dude! It's so steampunk-ish and beautiful and practical and also MY MOM'S THE SWEETEST. Thanks a bunch. Although you'll probably never read this. :P
Anyway! Time to go! I'm anticipating your e-mails, girls, and Imma post again soon!
P.S. My cousins were here for one day before going to New York. Gaaah awesome times but I'm waiting for them to get back so we can have more awesome times!
P.P.S. There's no real PPS. I'm just sleepy and random (sleepily random?)
