Making Hits for Your Heart - Comments

I firstly wanna say how happy I am that this is being updated regularly again. This story is so different than so many fics I've read and the realism if it has inspired some of my own writing. :) keep doing your thing (its totally working) and I'm excited to read this next chapter now that John has finally admitted his feelings. I'm all sorts of excited to see where this goes.

As I said before, I love how realistic this is. So congratulations for that. I really find Jamison's personality interesting. Somewhat unique but still normal enough. I love this story (it shows)! Easily one of my favorite JohnOh fanfics...

@ everdeen
I have nothing but love for you, but you know that, right? If you didn't know, now you know!
We'll see what kind of crush John is going through and we'll see if Jamison is actually an asexual human being or just a robot (the endless possibilities!)... either way, we'll see.

You can't have a girl crush on her, she's not a real person!!! (She was created with no heart and spirit just created from the thoughts I had while consuming potato chips) but you sounded super poetic and your goals are way similar to mine this year, let's keep each other in check! Hahaha.

Also, good 2013 experience. I would love to see him live! (I'm sad I'll never get to see George Harrison live until I get to heaven)

“Because every time I think about it—one of you has to always ask if I can bring Adam Levine over…" LOL I would totally ask this if I had a friend who is a music producer. This chapter made me laugh and giggle all the time, I was having a shitty day (and to be honest i even had a breakdown), but with a little help from my friends, your story and "don't give up on us" (if you don't read it already, you should) my mood completely changed.

YES! You should reply us, give me some love haha

"How do you think these two will end up together? Will they end up together? Who is going to make the first move? Thoughts/predictions on this story???"

John clearly has a crush on her, however I don't know if it is in a "I'm starting to develop strong feelings for you" way or in a "i admire you so much and feel so happy just to be around you" way. Also, I don't have a clue about Jamison's feelings, so it's hard to say how they will end.

"To go off on the last QOTD… what steps/things are you doing to achieve your 2014 goals? One of the most memorable things that happened to you in 2013?"

I'll try to be like Jamison because I have a girl crush on her haha seriously now: be a better and kinder person, worry less, being grateful for what i have instead of sad for what i don't have (yet) and overcome my own ego. Wow, I sounded poetic for 3 seconds!
The most memorable thing of 2013 was going to Sir Paul McCartney's concert. I will never forget.

@ WholeLottaARTTM
Thank you! I am trying real hard to make it as "real" as I can (with liberties!)-- that's a good goal, I should put that down on my list.

@ everdeen
Damn it, I was hoping you'd be the person who wouldn't ever be a fan of these two... KIDDING. I'm glad I got you to the other side? Hahaha, no way! There is no heart or brain to any other this it is fueled on purely random spews of incoherent thoughts and ideas.

Honestly, I think I only know 2~3 Taylor Swift songs (knowingly and it's cause I love Butch Walker, Ed Sheeran, and Gary Lightbody (of Snow Patrol)) I don't dislike her by any means, I don't think she's on my radar (like she doesn't intrigue me enough for me to educate myself with her music), after reading your comment, maybe I will give myself a Taylor Swift music education!

I am back but doing not so well with writing/updating? I apologize-- crazy thing is I feel like I am just writing to you/for you since you're always the only one commenting hahaha.

Enjoy Muse! NIN! Arcade Fire! (I can vouch for these artists and their live shows, I haven't seen the others you mentioned (yet))-- I hope 2014 is an amazing year for you and that it is going well for you right now.

PS- Refuse to watch anything horror related, I am too much of a baby. Just the thought of it might give me nightmares!

This story just feels real. I just love it.
As for the the "Question of the day" I'd say it's to improve. In the things that I'm good at, and in the things that I'm bad at.

Oh you devilish thing... You got it. I'm a fan of this couple. First I couldn't see chemistry, but now I think they would complement each other and I think they are cute. I missed you dude. I was having deep conversations with myself today and I swear I thought "Jamison would understand me" or in this case you, the brain and heart behind the character. Plus, "everything has changed" like, seriously?!? All my love for you. I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift, despite what people say about her (i call it envy) she's a great singer/song writer and her performances... I love her. I'm excited you're back!

"Do you guys have any goals for 2014? Things you want to do? New things you want to try/experience?"

Try not to ruin everything, change some aspects of my life, be the best "me" I can, survive,... I want to make this year as special (or more) than 2013 was. Well... I did my first tattoo (yeey) and I'll be experiencing going to Lollapalooza for the first time. I have high expectations about it, just to see MUSE, Imagine Dragons, Nine Inch Nails and Arcade Fire (oh, and Lord roooyaaals) I think it's gonna be pretty amazing... Plus being surrounded by friends is already great. Ok, this is not a diary, I forget about it sometimes, sorry haha

PS: my brain is not working correctly either *high five* sorry about any mistake... American Horror Story started as I am typing i don't know what I'm saying anymore bye

Is there anybody out there?

I read the last chapters, but it's too much information so I don't know how to comment about everything. Instead, I'm just saying I continue to adore this story and think you are an extremely interesting person (you write about Jamison, so all the awesomeness have to be from someone). Are you sure you are not one of The Maine's friends or even John? Haha your writing is so real and flawless. Answering your questions...

"You are allowed to listen to one album in it's entirety before you die, what album would it be?"

Argh... I hate picking these "one choice" things. Probably... A mix CD? Haha I know a song I would like to be the last one, "in my life" by The Beatles.

"What do you want to see happen in this story? Predictions? Ideas?"

I'm trusting in your ideas to end this story in the same interesting and captivating way it developed.

"In a perfect (musical) world, you get the chance to book/create your dream tour-- any 4 bands/artists (doesn't matter what genre and if it would mesh well together). Who would they be? Who would be the opener(s)? Who would (co)-headline? And why?"

Even being 4 options, I think it's hard to decide, so my dream tour is a festival with 2 days ok? Haha
1 and 2 are the openers, 2 is co-headline and 3 is headline.

~ MY DREAM LINE UP ~
Day 1
1. The Smiths
2. Coldplay
3. Taylor Swift
4. McFly

Day 2
1. Radiohead
2. The Killers
3. The Maine
4. The Rolling Stones

I love your questions!

I definitely want to see John and Jamison together in the future, just saying. That's basically it, that's all I'm waiting for haha

@ alxndrgskrth
Thank you! It was more of an inner monologue that I wrote out, I will try my best not to give up on this story haha but self doubt is just a terrible thing I think we all go through far too often in life.

And I will let you get by with two choices cause of your encouraging words :)

@ IndigoGirl8123
Sometimes, I want more already between the two also but then I realize... you gotta work towards it... haha but thank you for your kind words!!!

And the question was you have to die to one album so if you can't pick one you will just die a silent death haha (that souded so morbid)

@ everdeen
First off, take you time nothing exciting happening here haha.
Also, I don't judge when it comes to music-- it's all subjective... people like what they like, can't hate on that!

Also, I love how you imagine her that way cause I imagine something completely different but that's the great thing about imagination and why I didn't put a photo up... we all have different perceptions/ideas on how things are (ex: if i said red glasses, you might think of a certain style of red glasses and i might think of something totally different). it's interesting to see your take on it! :)

<3

(I have to study to a very difficult test, but I swear I will try to read chapter 13 until next week)

I still have to read chapter 13, but before I do that I have to say: John is fucking cute, I loved that he did a list to Jamison too.

"What have you been listening to lately? Any new musical discoveries or re-discovering old music you used to love?"

I might me addicted to spotify, because it amplified my obsession with music. Ok, no might, I am.

I've been listening to:
-Work by Iggy Azalea (don't judge! haha it's one of the best workout/let's dance song I've ever heard, it sticks to your mind and then you're singing work work work work work on my s**t)
-Lana Del Rey (i'm going to her show this sunday)
-Raining in Paris by The cute awesome effing punk ilovethemsomuch Maine
-Never Coming Back by Nick Santino (rip arttm)

I discovered
-Lua by Bright Eyes
-Cherry Oh Baby, cover by The Rolling Stones
-Here Comes Your Man by Pixies

PS: In my mind, that's how Jamison looks like https://www.facebook.com/danielaandrademusic

i looove this story! please keep up with it, can't wait for the next chapter! and i like that it's not a cheesy fanfic, it's real! <3

Ugh I want more. While I'm getting anxious about them getting together, I appreciate the build up and the work towards it. It's a great story and I can't wait for more!
Answer: I could never survive off of one album!

this is so cute ok, i love the story

i'm commenting again (i don't usually comment twice idk) bc uh why would you doubt your writing??? Dude, you're proper talented with the stringing of the words to form the story thingy. (idk either i just finished studying i'm losing my mind) Anywayyyyyy. stop doubting yourself and don't feel obligated to write bc of who is or isn't reading. Write for, like, the sake of improving your writing or smth.

oh and to your question of the day... i'd say Hands Like Houses' Unimagine. Or Bring Me The Horizon's Sempiternal. I can't decide between the two sigh.
