the first day is adam day

Yesterday was my first day of senior year, and I felt like Adam deserved to dominate my first day of school outfit. You know, since I LOVE HIM and all.


I even Adamized my binder: (the picture turned out even more pixely than usual)

Except I might take him off my binder because I'm sick of answering tons of questions from people who don't really watch the show or know about him.

"Who's that guy on your binder?"
"Adam Lambert."
"Who's that?"
"The most amazing singer ever."
"Oh."
-_-

PS: I MET ADAM OMG.
I went to the American Idol Concert last Saturday, and I unfortunately never got around to posting about it! Thus I'm combining it with my first day of school post, since it's so perfectly related :)

So sit back, ladies and gentlemen, and enjoy a short photo journal of my concert experience. (and yes, in the second to last picture it's MY NOSE in the same picture as Adam.)










WE HAD A CONVERSATION, ADAM AND ME!
He was going through really really fast just signing autographs, so I decided to actually say something besides "OMG I LOVE YOU" like the other screaming girls, haha.

Me: "Can I have a hug?" *puppy dog eyes*
Him: "Aw, will this work?" *touches my arm*
Me: [speechless] "uhh yes! thanks!" *starstruck*
Him: "Here's another one. That's your hug" *amazing signature Adam smile and wink*

I was on a complete natural high for the next four days. I love him.

wow. this is sad.

How would you pronounce this student’s name?

Le-a

Leah? NO
Lee – A?  NOPE
Lay – a?  NO WAY
Lei?  Guess Again.

It’s pronounced “Ledasha.”  Oh, yes, you read it right.  This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, LA. Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong. 

When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, 

“The dash don’t be silent.”

ring, score, tune

The wonderful people at Sussex Jewelers sent me this fantastic ring, and I love it! It comes in sizes 6/7/8 but my fingers are huge and my ring finger is a 9 or 10, so I had to make it a size 6 pinky-ring. I think it's absolutely gorgeous, and it's definitely gonna be one of my staple pieces next year! I've showed it to my parents, their friends, my friends...people of all ages, and they all love it as well! You should check out their site, they have some other amazing stuff too.



In other news, I got a 5 on my A.P. US History test! YESSSSS :) All the work paid off, I'm absolutely ecstatic.



I heard this song once on the radio and always wondered what it was. I finally found it, it's called Hallelujah by Martin Sexton. It's a beautiful song, so take a listen! I couldn't find a very good version on Youtube, so if you want to hear how it's really supposed to sound (AMAZING) try iTunes :)


PS: My Current/Elliott giveaway has ended! I'll announce the winner in my next post.

I'M SO EXCITED! :]]

a tribute to adam!

i can't believe america didn't vote for this guy;
he's practically sex on a stick.







...and just TRY telling me he doesn't have a good voice. Come on, even BRIAN MAY of QUEEN wants to work with him. :o :o :o

ah well, perhaps it's for the better that he's the runner-up. he can have a freer career now.
by the way, his star power is already apparent--his version of No Boundaries is RIGHT behind Kris's on the iTunes Top 100 list, and HE didn't have the benefit of a talk-show marathon like Kris :)

don't get me wrong, i like kris too. maybe i'll even buy his CD. I just feel like it's ridiculous that America couldn't recognize the INSANE talent before them.

reality obsessions!

Reality TV is such a strange idea. Why on earth do people enjoy watching average people make fools of themselves?
I, for one, am absolutely addicted to it. I need Project Runway back in my life, and currently it's American Idol and America's Next Top Model that are stealing my life away from me. I'm in love with these two people:

Adam not only is a fantastic singer, but I think he's quite sexy as well. [He needs to lay off the makeup though. His Motown look was great!] What did you guys think of his Ring of Fire? A lot of people apparently hated it, but I thought it was amazing! Even better was Tracks of My Tears. He looked like the long-lost son of Chris Isaak (or even Elvis!) and his voice just blows me away. That's an understatement. The sky is the limit for Adam :)


More Allison! This girl is SOCOOL. Really creepy and weird, but cool. [I love her eyes. Except I think she needs to learn how to do something other than the doe-eyed stare or she's going to get kicked off.]



[I don't like her shoes though.]

slumdog.

If you haven't already, I command you to go see this movie. It's honestly one of the best movies I've seen in a very very long time. [The ending is excellent!]
