SAY CRACK AGAIN.

DUDE.

MY...BRAIN....IS....SCREAMING....OR SOMETHING...I CAN'T....



THAT WOULD BE DAMIAN, PEOPLE.

THE DAMIAN.

FROM MEAN GIRLS.

FAVORITING MY TWEET.

WHICH IS A TASTE OF THE TYPE OF CONVERSATION THAT TAKES PLACE DAILY BETWEEN ME AND *cough* BAMBISTARLIGHT.



BAM.

LIFE = MADE.

The Wants and Needs of Now.

I want a bicycle and a ukulele.
Really.
Those two things would make me so happy.
BUT...that bicycle-uke money needs to be put to better use right now.

So until then, I have my broken exercise machine and my beat-up ol' guitar, which I'm just gonna have to deal with.



Last week my brain got lost and it showed in my work- the very picture of 'blur giler'. I blame my failing immune system. Because of that, my mom bought me this new bottle of multivitamins? They taste like ass.



Moving on.

Idol finalists chosen!!! Pretty happy with the lineup. Not ecstatic...but pretty OK with it. First theme week next ep, I can't wait.

And the kids are still adorable. One in particular keeps melting my heart when he says things like: "I wish I could stay back with you all day Ms. Farah- you're good company." I play it cool with a "That's a very nice thing to say, thank you!" but inside I'm all



Such sweetie pies.

We had a tea party in class yesterday. I made some sugar-free tea which I'm pretty sure they all hated, but then there was also a chocolate cake topped with strawberries, so who cares about the freakin' tea. We may have a pizza party in the coming weeks, but that's still being decided.

Sheesh, all the food in this place.

Loves it.

This weekend is pretty chill- don't have any plans, don't have to drive anywhere, don't have to deal with anything. It's been raining for most of the day now, and it's nice and cold and I have my hot tea and everything's just

good.

Great.

Alhamdulillah.

What were we talking about? Oh yeah.

Just so you know, I planned on there being posts about things other than Idol, but somehow they never work out and I never get psyched enough to start writing those posts, and so here I am, typing out another post about...Idol.

Top 24, over and done with! Was I disappointed? Uh, yeah, duh. Will I stop watching?



Listen, Top 24? Always, always a bummer. Coz you get all hyped up over their auditions, and Hollywood rounds, that you can't HELP but think about all the ways in which their awesomeness will shine onstage. But that doesn't happen until much later (usually) (unless there's someone UNBELIEVABLY awesome, like Kelly, who's just...awesome...every time) (.....I'm tired, OK. Vocabulary not really...working...with..me...right now.)

Whatever.

Guys: Phil and Heejun FTW. Forever and ever.
Girls: Elise and Hallie? So far. But I dunno, my loyalties may change.

.....what, like you were surprised I'd care more about the guys than the girls? Geez. It's like you don't even know me.

Haha.

LOL GUISE GUISE LOOK

They be dancin'.



I'll be so sad if Heejun leaves prematurely- the world needs more of him!

Duuuude, Scott totally didn't make it. BUT, I mean... I hated his last song. I really did. He could've done so much better and I'm so completely bummed he didn't sing his way in there when I know, I KNOW, he could've.

AND DAVID WAS SO ROBBED. I'm praying he'll be the 13th guy.

...aaaaaaand now I can continue my day.

My new favorite bromance starts NOW.

She's baaaaaack.

THE IDOL FANGIRL.

And listen. Last year.....don't even, OK. Last season's Idol just....doesn't...EXIST to me. It was so horrible. Casey Abrams, I love that you got signed (finally). Stefano, stay cute, bb. Paul..do what you do, people love it. There. That is all. Let's move on. The pain of remembering the past is just not worth it.

THIS SEASON, hoohoohoo.

OK, after 11 seasons, I'm not naive enough to believe that it'll stay this amazing throughout the season. I'm ready to curse the TV and America and the world in general when top 24 rolls around, because, obviously, I will be disappointed. I don't know how, but I will be. It's just fact.

But right now, I'm so loving it. I am. And I'm glad, because I wasn't even going to give this year a chance. (CURSE YOU, SEASON 10. CURSE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.) Have you SEEN the group rounds? Gahh. That kind of talent gives me chills, man. The good kind.

I'm probably overselling it.

But hey.

It's American Idol, baybay.

Here are my faves so far:

Phil and Heejun. COZ HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THEM.:



SCOTT DANGERFIELD. FUCK YEAH. HAVE YOU NOT SEEN ME WAIL ABOUT HIM SINCE LAST SEASON?! AND NOW HE'S BACK:



aaaaaaand this guy. Colton Dixon.
......I like his fayce. Since that first time. Because there's always that one guy, right. (Don't judge me.)



WEEEEEHOOOOO LET'S DO THIS THANG. Idol Rants, FTW! I'm actually looking forward to it, haha.

Til' next time.

Death and Cuteness.

SORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRY BLOG.

It just hit me how much I whine, coz that's really when I wanna blog, BUT I know one of my resolutions was to not make this place so depressing, so that's why no recent posts.

Plus...

....I'm lazy.

SOOOOOO.

Wicked. Awesome. Wicked awesome. *snort* No, but really. Journey? Awesome. Seats? Awesome (accidentally and completely unplanned, which makes it awesome-ER). Company? Hell yeah, awesome. SHOW?! ASDFGHJKL SO AWESOME THERE ARE NO WORDS OR SOUNDS THAT I COULD MAKE TO EVER DO IT JUSTICE.

I don't know where the photos are though. Really. So until I find them, we'll go picture-less, sorry.

Wong Fu Productions! AARRRGGGHHH! Totally missed out on my chance to touch I mean grab I mean meet Phil! BOO! OK, first of all, the ticketing system? DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED. Because I refuse to put out any more negative energy into the world today. Fuuuh. Woosah. Secondly, it would've been more money to shell out, and sure, it wasn't that much, but still. Thirdly, I don't know what it was, but my timing was all outta wack. AND SO, all that combined resulted in me NOT GOING TO MEET PHIL AND WES. And that makes me sad. But maybe next time :(



Also, also, more kid stories!

Just yesterday I was waiting in line to take the kids down to the cafeteria for lunch, and one of the girls pulled me aside and looked at me seriously and asked:

"Miss Farah, are you huggable?"

....I didn't know what to answer, hahaha. So I just said "Um, wanna try it out and see for yourself?" and I opened up my arms.

She went in for the hug, and then she gave me a big grin and said "YUP!"

And she went on talking bout how much she loves hugs, and later on that day she declared she'd make me the best Valentine's Card EVAR.

THESE KIDS ARE SO CUTE DON'T YOU JUST WANNA DIE FROM THAT STORY ALONE.

Death and cuteness aside, they really are smart kids. They make my day, everyday. Too bad the pay kinda sucks.

That's a dilemma you never wanna be in- Love the job but get a shitty salary OR Hate the job but be financially set.

Meh. I'll figure it out. Have faith.

:)
