Jess Glynne: Will You Be My Valentine?

This is a bad idea.

Jess Glynne: Will You Be My Valentine?
Instagram

Today is a very special day, friends. Today marks the day that I throw caution to the wind and decide to fangirl so hard on the Internet and probably make a fool of myself. In the name of Valentine's Day, this hopeless romantic would like to ask Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Jess Glynne to be her valentine.

For much of 2014, it seemed like you couldn't listen to the radio for more than 10 minutes without hearing the unbelievably catchy "Rather Be" by British house group Clean Bandit featuring the deep and soulful voice of someone by the name of Jess Glynne.

The song became a Grammy-winning smash, and I couldn't shake that amazing voice. Equipped with the full power of the Internet, I embarked on a journey (OK, so it probably took like 30 seconds) to find the glorious creature attached to this amazing voice. Then, there she was…

Let's pause the story for second, shall we? I've never really had a "type" ("I ain't got no type, I like what I like"), but I've always thought my absolute dream girl would have/be five things: blue eyes, red hair, British, taller than me, and awesome personality. Jess: perfect blue eyes, redhead, British (the best accent), 5' 10" (according to the Internet, 2.5" taller than me), and from what I can tell, wicked awesome personality. OK, now back to the story.

So here I am, looking at this gorgeous woman and I just think to myself:

She's perfect!

How have I gone all this time without this person and her incredible music?

Fast forward to early 2016, I have Jess' album on nearly constant repeat and I love it more and more everytime I listen to it. I was even lucky enough to go see Jess in concert when she came to Boston.


Betty gets me.

Just when I think she can't get more dreamy, she straightens her hair and looks like the human version of Jessica Rabbit!

C'mon!

Hold up, Audra -- how could you have anything in common with this beautiful and incredibly talented pop sensation? Well, let's examine the facts. We both love music, especially British music. Plus, we both think Idris Elba needs to be the next James Bond and/or the next Doctor Who. We both love to swear, love concerts, and love the city of London. That's enough for now, but seriously, we could probably talk about music for hours.

Speaking of music, go buy Jess Glynne's debut album "I Cry When I Laugh."

You won't regret it, I promise. Whether you're single, heartbroken, or in a great relationship this Valentine's Day, you need this in your life. And check out her music videos too, like this one where she wears not one but two suits and looks seriously badass.


OK, I'm done.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

May I take this opportunity to formally ask... Jess Glynne, will you be my valentine?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
