OH MY GOD! He SOOOOOOO hasta stay! I don't think Idol would survive without him! I absolutely LOVE Nick! He's funny as HELL! He's VERY entertaining... OK, so he doesn't sing GREAT, but he's not bad... I think he MAY have potential more once he finishes his identity crisis... not to mention, so far tonight, he's one of the best...
Recap of the night to catch me up then it's live blogging...
Person #1... who was it? Oh yea, the 16 year old. She sang FANTASTIC during the Hollywood tryouts... tonight, she BORED me... so much that I can't even remember what she looked like, let alone what she sang.
Person #2... I can't remember his name, but he's the dude that looks SORTA like Justin Timberlake (yummy). He sang a Coldplay song. Guess what? I'm TOTALLY disagreeing with the guys on this one. I actually really liked it.
Person #3... um yea... 2 words... EWWW BORING!!!! Time to go back to bartending. Oh, and honey, you can't go begging for another chance when you blew the one you had! DUH!
Person #4 Nick... or Norman Gentle... either one, I LOVE you! (read above)
Person #5... redheaded 16 year old Allison. So far during her talk with Seacrest, she's annoying me already... she is sounding very much either like a stupid person or a person on drugs. And since a) she's 16 and b) this is IDOL, she BEST not be on drugs, but HELLO... being dumb don't help either... hopefully she can sing better! She's singing Alone by Heart. I can't quite place Alone, but I LOVE Heart so I HOPE it's good... song is starting, I remember the song. I LOVE the song... don't blow it... She's very rocker-voiced. Not a voice of a 16 year old. One of a much older person. And guess what... She's REALLY good! She definitely sings better than she talks...
Person #6 Kris... OK he's singing Michael Jackson... Man in the Mirror... he's missing the "ohhhh" and nut grabbing but he's uber cute... I hope he's legal, but with my luck (and my streak) he's gay... I really like him too... Sounds better than Michael Jackson... sounds better withOUT the ohhh's! And this Kris dude is putting in a growling soulful sound... but then also has a touch of grownded up Archeletta in him... I like him too... DANGIT!
Person #7 Megan Joy - she's singing Put Your Record's On. She's got shaky hips... and her voice is definitely more different than I expected. I'm not quite sure if I like her or not. So far it wouldn't bother me if she stayed or went... but if I had to compare, person #5 was better than she is... she's not bad, but this line she just sang sounds like she's screaming instead of singing... Oh, and her mother looks like one of those Orange County Housewives gone blond bimbo trying to look like the older sister than the mother of a what-ever-aged Megan is... YAY! Simon agreed that she screamed the second half... Oh, and she kinda sorta looks pregnant... maybe she should find more flattering clothing...
Person #8 - Matt... he's the welder dude, or something laborous like that... He looks a LOT like one of the Brian's on the Brian/Brian crew... he may have a rounder gut and he's probably a touch whiter in complexion but he DEFINITELY looks like Brian! He's an OK singer. His song is from like 1997 or so... it's all good tho. I REALLY hope he makes it thru & B&B get unlaid off b4 this dude gets voted off so I can have this discussion with Brian at work... true story... He probably should have chosen more of a rocker song. Maybe I'm comparing him to Brian cuz of the appearance... but I think this song is too cheesy for him... Oh look... Simon & Randy are agreeing with me with more rocker...
Person #9 - Jessie... she's a single mother... of an 8 year old... she's singing Betty Davis Eyes... I LOVE that song... so husky... and she's NOT singing it huskily enough for me... it sounds like a bad karaoke version for me... and, girl... u've been on Idol for quite some time now, time for some Crest Whitestrips! No vote for me... She's got the voice for Put Your Record's on NOT Betty Davis Eyes... UGH! Ruined it for me...
Person #10 - Kai... I don't remember him from any auditions then next thing I know he makes it... I know his name & because he looks Hawaiian I can put the name to his face but, that's the only reason so far... lets see what he hasta sing... What Becomes of the Brokenhearted... ooooooo He's the guy taking care of his gramma or mom who's very sick... I remember him now... he sang good... and he's singing very good now... dammit! This really sucks... Last week there were 5 peeps I REALLY liked and only 2 got thru... this week same is happening... UGH! AWWWWW his gramma (or mamma) is jamming in the audience! I liked his performance...
Person #11 - Mishavonnah... she got cut immediately at Hollywood on Season 7... this time she's in the top 36... singing Drops of Jupiter... she SOOOOO shoulda sang something diff. These girls have MAJOR bad song choice fever! She shoulda sang Alicia Keys or something more R&B like that... or maybe she could have gotten away with a pop-country song... not Train... I didn't enjoy it....
Person #12 - Adam - He's the Wicked singer... not in a Yankee-talk kinda wicked as in totally awesome... as in Wicked with the groovy wicked witch of the west? and WHY she's so wicked... the Broadway Musical which is on my list of culture... and it WILL happen... anyways... lets see what he has to sing... He's doing the Stones... Satisfaction.... He's starting off with very sexy starting... ewww he just did an Elvis Lip... but he's rocking it... this really sucks... he's good... so aren't like 5 others... only 3 will get thru... He's theatrical tho... which should be obvious since Wicked is theatrical... DUH... but he ROCKED it! GREAT performance & staging & singing...
All that said, I'm casting the word VOTE to 5702, 5704, 5705, 5706, 5708, 5712. Now, we get the top guy, the top girl, then the next highest vote... so I think America is going to vote that the guy thru is Adam(5712) and the girl will be Allison(5705) and the next highest vote will be (damn, that's tough) Megan Joy(5707) (the one I don't care either way that looks preggers) or Kris(5706) or Nick AKA Norman Gentle (5704)... guess we'll find out the results tomorrow night... well, in my case, Friday... I have bowling tomorrow night...
At this point, all I'm gonna say is... Cupcake... Out!

A blast from the past...
I meant to write Wednesday but I've been busy & hectic and what not so it never happened so pretend today is Wednesday. (*to protect the identities, names have been changed)
2/18/08
So, I went out for breakfast with Angel this morning at Burger King. You see, it's school vacation and our week was planned like this: when the kiddos woke up, they'd go upstairs to Nanny's until I got home from work at 9:30am, BUT they each could go to daycare one day this week and I'd spend a little 1-on-1 time with the other and we'd do lunch together and what-not. Oh, and of course, on Friday we'd all drive to the airport to see Nanny off to Florida... Princess decided she wanted to go to daycare on Thursday and Angel wanted to go on Wednesday. Suddenly, we realize that one of Angel's friends is having a birthday party on Wednesday and she doesn't want to miss her daycare day so Angel & Princess swapped days. So that brings up back to today.
I got home at 9:30 and all seemed way too quiet so I go and check and, sure enough, Angel is still sleeping. I wake her up and tell her she needs to get up and shower because she's getting picked up at 10:40 for her birthday party... Then I realize since I can't spend lunch with her like planned, it wouldn't be fair when I have lunch with Princess tomorrow so I tell Angel if she hurries up and showers and gets ready, we can run for breakfast at Burger King or McDonalds so that we know we'll be back home b4 her friend's mom gets here at 10:40. Angel decides on BK and showered in the nick of time, so off to BK we go.
She orders her french toast sticks and I get a biscuit sandwich which slightly disappointed me cuz I wanted a biscuit but when I got it, it really wasn't what I wanted after all... but ANYWAYS, I'm waiting for Angel to finish up eating so I'm checking out the ads on the tray place mat and notice Barnett* Computer Solutions and think to myself, I know a Barnett*, his name is Justin*. That's when I notice Mr. Computer Guy's name IS Justin*. Like HOLY COW! I was suddenly flooded with memories.
So, I'll give you the skinny on Justin* in the concentrated version. I "met" this dude thru a friend and Justin* & I only spoke on the phone. He was labeled Phone-Sex-Justin* because he was, like any other typical 15-16 year old boy, a horny toad. When ever I spoke to him, he insisted on phone sex. So... for the first 2 minutes or so of our conversation, I would say (normally in a Ben Stein tone) 'Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, ohhhhh' and then we could start a normal conversation... for a little while... but, oddly enough, during the normal conversations we got along remarkably great. In fact, it got to the point that I was pretty sure he was my soul mate! We were like 2 peas in a pod! I kid you not! It was weird!
SOOOOOOOO.... One day, I'm talking to Justin* and he says he's gotta go because he's going to a career fair at my high school (he lived in a diff. town, obviously) so I'm thinking its now the time to meet my soul mate. SOOOOO we plan to meet up. That's when he tells me he'll be wearing the Chubacka or Ewok or R2-D2 or some Star Wars type shirt. WHOA! Well, I went to the career fair looking for him in hopes that it was one mad cool shirt. Well, it was pretty much something an 8 year old would wear. Way gross... that was when I realized that my soul mate wasn't my soul mate. He was really my brother. Well, not my real brother, just an exact replica (non-appearance tho) of my brother in a non-related body.
We still talked the same after that and I told him I couldn't find him, we must have missed each other some how. But, he was no longer my soul mate. I moved on in search of the next bozo in my life LOL...
Anyways, seeing that ad brought more than memories. It brought curiosity! I wrote down his website and checked it out once I got home. It seems he did good for himself! I'm glad! I always like to see people I know excel! I also took the opportunity to search for him on Facebook & MySpace. I found him. Mr. Phone-Sex-Justin* growded up. Geeky, dorky, Star Warsy Justin* got buff! HOWEVER, apparently at one point he went to a drag party & dude got legs chicks (me) would KILL for! Oh, and you know how I said he was an exact replica of my brother? He's NOT gay! I mean, we all know my track record with gay guys LOLOL...
Anywho, coming across a name from an old acquaintance is always fun, isn't it? Can't wait for the next name to come across my mind!
Later peeps!

"But everyone else is doing it!"
Alrighty now... hubs is watching some movie on ty... u know that White Castle movie? The one with the dude from House on it? Well, I guess they did a sequel type thing & that's what he's watching... DUMB!!!!!!!!!!! BUT, while I'm trying to stay awake with him I decided to catch up on everyone's blogs and notices that she did it and he did it and even she did it so I wanted to do it too!
So here IT goes... I am ISFP... Do you know what that means? Yea, neither did I... but it means that I am 56% Introverted, 25% Sensing, 50% Feeling, and 33% Perceiving... Here's the perceptive side of me... that is WAY more than 100% LOL... The following is directly from the page:
You are:
moderately expressed introvert
moderately expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
moderately expressed perceiving personality
WELL... that doesn't exactly tell me what I should be when I grow up... so I did a bit more research and according to Keirsey I should be a composer. That's kinda funny... I'd have a better chance at taking Paula's place as an Idol judge... or as a Dancing With the Stars judge... BUT, really, it doesn't mean I'm the next Beethoven (Thank GOODNESS!) It means I can be the next Jackie Kennedy, or Cher, or Spielberg... I wonder if author or screenwriter fits in that? I'm also really good at taking pictures... maybe I'm not good at it, but I REALLY enjoy it...
Awww hell, Keirsey is just as confused at what I wanna be when I grow up as I am! And I quote:
The most difficult to pigeonhole is the Composer (ISFP). They are driven by their values and usually have a strong aesthetic sense. If they have a driving force to do good, you may find them in medical or veterinary occupations or in social services or education. If they need to express their artistic talents, they may be a painter, a potter, a jeweler, a fashion designer, a carpenter, or a chef. Some are called to more technical occupations such as surveyor, botanist, or chemist. Still others are in the service industry as wait-people, beauticians, or retail clerks. Some do a variety of clerical services and may be bookkeepers or legal secretaries. Says Lorenzo, “Being a chef is more than making a good meal. The taste, aroma and presentation of the food must be perfect – like creating a great symphony.”
Having a life of action and freedom is what makes an Artisan tick and gives them a sense of being alive.
Doesn't that just friggen figure? So, I traveled on with my research and decided to visit here:
ISFP - Artists, musicians, composers, designers, child care workers, social workers, counselers (BTW, they mispelled that!), teachers, veterinarians, forest rangers, naturalists, bookkeepers, carpenters, personal service workers, clerical supervisors, secretaries, dental and medical staffers, waiters and waitresses, chefs, nurses, mechanics, physical therapists, x-ray technicians. They tend to do well in the arts, as well as helping others and working with people.
That doesn't narrow it down much either... however, I can nix the musician since I sing like crap, child care worker is a nay cuz I don't like them that much (however it could just be my own that drive me batty... same goes with veterinarians, altho that's more along the reasonings I have with the medical parts...) I can't do blood or bodily fluids, my cooking is mediocre (altho I can bake really good, decorating is another story tho) Waitress gets paid caca-poopies and I get along with males better than females because I can't stand the egotistical little bitches that are around here in the female bodies these days... so I guess that kinda keeps me where I am now...
BUT, I know me & what I REALLY would like to do (and MAYBE one day I will) is own a bookstore... so, maybe that means step 1 is to go work for Barnes & Noble or Borders to learn all I can in the business while going back to school for my BA in Business Management and take an entrepreneur class for extended edumacation... Anyways, thank you Myers-Briggs for helping confoozle me even more than I already am!

Words straight from the giraffe's mouth! Melman to be exact! I LOVE me some Madagascar! T'was just as good the second time around... I loved it! I give it 2 thumbs up! I STILL wanna go to the San Diego Zoo because of that movie!!!!! And, one day I will!
Now a quick hello and update on my life... I have about 100 more pages to go in my book, Talk of the Town by Karen Hawkins... I bought it because of the uber cute beagle puppy on the cover... whoda thunked that the beagle really was a gabillion years old... however, that beagle is just as lazy as my puggle is now...
The job search is still going on... so far all dead ends... so I'm still working only 2 hours a day... and spending the rest of my time being addicted to One Tree Hill and my DVR... I try to squeeze JUST enough cleaning in there that I'm not told I'm lazy LOL...
Did I tell you that Angel's teacher is preggers? YUP! She's having twins even... its her first pregnancy too... I told her to quit now while she's ahead... and get this! SHE wants to go the old fashion way & NOT know what she's having! Who does that anymore??? Well, my mom is crocheting her this really cool ABC baby blanket & I'm attempting my very first quilt! Well, really it'll be more like a baby comforter... Its of Noah's Arc and it's going to be hand embroidered then I get to learn how to sew so I can put on the backing and bottom... Only I dunno what I should do for the backing since it should be a neutral color... Dang her for not wanting to know the sex of the children! I'll definitely post pics when I get one taken...
I don't know what else to tell you... Like I've said, I live a boring life... Not much happens here.... Have a great day guys!
