mood:  cranky music: "Want" - Adam Lambert
|
Wow, I'm proud of me. I didn't really think that I would get to do this today. And I'm really glad 'cause I won't get to blog tomorrow, bets are, because I'm working until midnight tonight and then I have to be to work at 8:30 tomorrow morning. So I'm going to be exhausted.
Anyways, here's my raunt of the day. Take a deep breath 'cause I can see that you may or may not agree with me:
Kris Allen just isn't sexy.
It's not that he can't look cute, because he can, and he does have kind of a funny personality at times. We can honestly say he will go down in history as not only the most shocked (and undeserving) Idol winner, but the most controversial, because everyone, EVERYONE, even Kris himself, knows that Adam should've won.
But that is another argument for another day. The argument for today is that Kris isn't sexy.
And for some stupid, crazy reason, People Magazine seems to think that he is.
They have a Sexiest Man Alive issue every year. I sometimes love and sometimes hate this issue. This year, if it weren't for the gorgeous and SEXY David Cook also being featured, I wouldn't buy the issue because they seem to think that KRIS ALLEN IS SEXY.
Kris is just not sexy.
David Cook is sexy. ADAM LAMBERT IS SEXY. (In all honestly, Adam Lambert brought back a kind of sexy I didn't even know existed until he came on the scene. That too is another story to be discussed.)
But yeah. So I'm pised at People Magazine for thinking that Kris Allen is sexy. 'Cause he's just not.
Now, much as I would love to go on and on and on and on about this subject, I've really got to go. Last week, my boss conned me into coming into work three hours early instead of running all my errands before work. TODAY I WILL NOT BE STOPPED!
The bills will be paid, the new undies will be bought. I will succeed!
Laters. |

A few weeks ago, I thought, wow, I haven't used my LJ since I discovered Twitter.
In honor of my 30th birthday, in November, I shall blog on LJ every day, and that will give me thirty new blogs AND be something else I'm doing to celebrate this (annoying, depressing) monumental occasion.
Well.
Today is November 5th, and I have yet to do anything with my LJ.
Until today, anyways.

because I have AOL (and DO NOT tell me 'don't start a sentence with because 'cause my FAVORITE Kelly Clarkson song DOES and if Kelly can, so can I!!!) I can't listen to the cellcasts. I find this very offensive.
There are few things I love on Earth as much as Ameican Idol. Tonight I had the opportunity to be here, listening live, as the Tour 2009 kicked off.
BUT MY STUPID DIALUP CONNECION KEPT BUFFERING. So I would get a scream, silence. A word, silence. A few more screams, a line of poorly sung Gavin DeGraw, you get the picture.
I am not enthused.
I AM PISSED.
But the photos so far are sweet!!!!! |

She has, unknowingly, proposed to me the ULTIMATE challenge.
From an email she sent me today while I was at work....
From seasons 1 - 7, I really probably couldn't even name more than 25 people who'd ever been on AI. That's a lot of forgotten top 13 peeps. (And I know I didn't watch 6 or 7 but I still counted'em because I do know some names from those.)
WELL.
I know that I can not only name more than 25 from seasons 1-7, I'm gonna, WITHOUT cheating, without peeking, without GOOGLING, I'm going to try and list the Top 10/12/13 from EVERY season!!
I give myself ten minutes in which to do this!!!
You're all thinking, she'll cheat, whatev.
But I will NOT. I take all things IDOL VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY seriously.
You just wait.
You wait and see!!!
You shall be amazed!!!! |

I haven't posted here in so long. I've had so many ups and downs the past few weeks and every time I think of something I want to say or do, I forget about it by the time I actually have time to say or do it.
Like take today. I wasn't even supposed to work today. And now that it's over, I'm very thankful that I DID work today because, yay, it was an eight hour shift. One down, like four more to go and I should have enough money to buy my iPhone. I want one so badly I can't see straight. When we went into the Apple store last week at Partridge Creek and I saw the pretty little iPhones sitting there and I picked it up, it hurt my heart to see it and not be able to take it home with me. It's a 32 gig piece of awesomeness, and dammit I have to have one. I don't know yet how I'll text with it, but I'm sure I'll get good at it eventually. :)
Wow, that was a run-on, wasn't it? Is run-on hyphenated? All my English has just completely flown my brain for greener pastures.
Today I feel good. Today I am not trying to cut my hair, trying to pluck my eyebrows without tweezers. I'm not thinking bad things, not wishing I was dead.
Today, I think, I am happy.
Today I started to Christnas shop for my mother, believe it or not. I got some stocking stuffers for her at my store. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a few more things here and there so that I won't be completely bombarded the way I was last year. I was completely unprepared and still feel like she might have been disappointed, even though she shouldn't have been.
(Besides, a few years ago, I was DEVASTATED by both my birthday gifts and Christmas so, whatev, we all make mistakes.)
Anyways. Now I'm tired. Gonna go watch some more of last night's Idol and go to sleep. 'night. |

I could not sleep last night. You guys all know I can't even sleep, so this really shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. (Which puts that new Daughtry song in my head...it's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow,, still on the fence about that one.)
So last night, around four ish a.m., I turned the computer off like a big girl and decided to try and sleep.
First I read a few pages of the Jodi Picoult novel I'm in the middle of (Harvesting The Heart, one of her older ones and so far, good, but not in that omg I can't put it down this is amazing, omg omg omg way that some of the others are.) Then I said screw this, set it aside and just lay down with my FUSE on. I love FUSE. I don't know when I really discovered it to be honest, but it has replaced MTV, VH1 & MTV Hits as my all-emcompassing music channel. Most of the time they play current vids but they throw other stuff in there from time to time, too. Like at about 4:30 this morning, they played "Intergalactic" by the Beastie Boys. I think that song is ten years old, yo.
So I'm laying there. And I'm not comfortable. And I kept tossing and turning and half-fell asleep during Kelly Clarkson's vid for "I Do Not Hook Up" but I started to have a weird dream thing, so I woke myself up. Lying there, breathing hard and being very confused was, I thought, better than waking up a few minutes later really, really upset because of whatever it was the dream had transpired to be.
I don't know when I finally drifted off, but it must've been late because I woke up today, at noon, and only then because my brother's alarm on his cell phone went off (he, btw, is not awake and I am grateful because that means I can both play music AND be online).
So. Goals for Friday?
1) finish AL book, photog, put on eBay. Pray it sells.
2) Watch AL's AH interviews again, because he's so cute in them.
3) Scrapbook a bunch because life is short and I want the memories.
4) Paint my nails and glue all the broken ones.
5) Listen to Adam's songs on iTunes enough that they're in my Most Played list, because somehow none of them are. (This is coming from a girl though, who, in 2007, had "Hey There Delilah" at the top of that list and worked VERY hard to keep it from staying there!)
I think that's plenty for one day, don't you? I'm not off again after this until Tuesday so it's going to be a long and crampy run for me.
And this is long, prolly shoulda used a cut. Whatev, I'm lazy.
Peace, ya'all. |

When I get home? Not only do I have the WONDER that is Adam's issue of Rolling Stone waiting for me, but I have, wait for it, 20/20, with the gorgeous, sexy Adam Lambert talking about being gay or bicurious or whatever.
WOW.
Can't wait. |

I'm off work for two days, I'm watching Roseanne in one room, Oprah with Dr. Oz in the other. I'm loading YouTubes of Adam's AMAZING Rolling Stone photo shoot. I'm organizing all my pictures of David. I'm definitely in my zone.
And I know you're all thinking, WTF does she want with Lambert, he's gay.
Let me just tell you--I. Do. Not. Care.
I said it before I knew it, and you know what? That hasn't changed. That won't change.
He's happy, I'm happy.
I gotta go find some chocolate, because that will just add to the happy! |

Or layouts, rather.
When I got up today (actually, when I got up yesterday), I thought to myself, I feel like scrapbooking. It was decided right then and there that I would spend most of my day working on my pages because my mom had a headache and I'd be on the couch beside her taking care of her whenever she needed.
So. My pics were already sorted, cropped and I'd even already put the photo tabs on them while watching last Thursday's ep of SYTYCD.
I got out a paper pack, removed the sheets I figured I'd use and started to lay out my photos. Then I started with the first page, and the title. I was half-way done with it when I realized I didn't like the stickers right on the page, they needed to be matted in black, first.
They were tiny stickers, and so began my journey going through the stupid big bag of scraps I had lying around to try and find black pieces big enough (WOOHOO, matted all the letters for the title and the date without using any big sheets, go me, all green and all).
But right as I started to put the layout together, I stupidly lost one of the letters. When I set the pages and everything aside to search for those letters, my mom moved and shook everything from the ottoman to the floor, making me have to search again for missing letters.
Then I myself knocked the pile of paper over not once, not twice, but three times. And I had the pictures alligned already, so I will have to sort them and allign them all over again.
It's very frustrating because I was hoping to be finished with these photos by the end of tonight.
I don't think that's going to happen.
Grrr. |

I spent about seven hours making cards today. I totally finished three, which I'm not sure I even like. I'm nearly done with three more that I'm pretty sure I DON'T like.

1) I refuse to feed into all the frenzy for poor Adam, because no one will leave the guy alone. Talk about his music, talk about his gorgeous eyes, but they should NOT be saying all the things they're saying.
2) I'm tired all the time.
3) I'm too busy listening to music and watching TV to post.
But I will, eventually, be posting a lot again.
Just not right now. I'm too angry. |

I usually get annoyed by his show, but his little bit with David at the end of the show was adorable. The performance was great as always, and we actually got some screen time for Neal and Andy, which was great 'cause D's performances are usually the David and Kyle Show. So it was great to have them all get some face time. It was also nice to see and hear Andy sing. Yay.
David sang the song a bit lower than usual, which I loved. And Kyle was wearing one of D's shirts from the tour. So cute, these boys are. |

So here it is. And I'll be from time to time, I add to it. But for now, it seems pretty complete.
Bill O'Reilly (too many reasons to list!!!)
Clay Gaykin (heartless idiot)
David Boreanaz (you do not lead your fans on! You do not! We have followed you from Buffy to Angel to Bones and would watch you wherever you are, and guess what? You lied to us! You lied! And you are not forgiven!!
Simon Cowell (for still saying Archuleta should've won. Archie cannot even carry a ten-song set. Hell, he couldn't carry a ONE SONG set on Idol a few weeks ago! He didn't deserve to win! And he couldn't have handled winning.) |

I had like, fifteen of them written in my head. But I'm tired and I have to go to work, so I may either post-date them and post them tonight or tomorrow, or the world will go without. We'll see.
But even though I'm not sure I like this nickname, I'm rooting for Glambert, all the way. If Kris wins.....we're not gonna talk about if Kris wins. It'd be like Elliott Yamin winning. (Actually, I quite would've preferred Elliott Yamin winning to Taylor but you know.)
K, going to eat before work now! Adios!! |
