All about us

The TATU girls have done it again. It so happens that their songs are extremely catchy: They will get stuck in your head and just stay there, refusing to go away until you are completely fed up with them.
You doubt me??? Wrong move...
All the things she said
Not gonna get us
There... now have them stay in your head for a while!

I recently heard a relatively new song of theirs, All about us.
I can now claim, with a fair amount of confidence, to know why their songs are so catchy. I've found exactly what they have in common. Being the cryptic that some of you want me to be, I won't give the answer right out. I will instead let you watch a clip of the new song and then give out some more clues.

The song:


The clues:
  • All the things she said, all the things she said, running through my head, running through my head, running through my head...
  • They are not gonna get us, they are not gonna get us, they are not gonna get us, not gonna get us, not gonna get us...
  • It's all about us, it's all about us, it's all about us, it's all about us...

Go back and face your deepest fear

We have been naughty lately...
A couple of us are attempting to relieve the thrills of life, the kind one gets by experiencing intense emotions from the past. We opted to begin with fear.

The plan went like so:
We must do something that we used to do in the past. Something that "didn't kill us and so made us stronger." We will visit a deserted house, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, at 3 am. We will explore the place, ignoring the presence of wild, barking dogs. We won't hesitate to go inside the house, even if it's dark and creepy. We will avoid using flashlights. We will be prepared for anything, even though we most probably should be prepared for 'nothing at all'.

And so it was... Mission accomplished! Is there a next, and if so what?
