OHMYGOSHHHH!11!!!1!! (tm Archie)

(Spoilers and rambling about AI7 finale.)

(more…)

Okay, I’ve tried to hold it back and not gush like a lunatic but the love has truly overfloweth. (But yes, my LJ is full of the Cookie-love, heh.)

So this is my confession: I am so completely, ridiculously in love with Da.vid Cook. We’re talking OTL-levels of love and devotion here, friends.

Words fail me in articulating exactly why I adore him so much, but, in essence, he is like a dream come true. Smart, talented, articulate, passionate with a not-so-inner dorkiness and a heart of gold. And oh yeah, did I mention he’s gorgeous? My god, he has grown on me so much that everything he does is bloody friggin’ adorable to me. (Although he always did have a cute smile and that signature Cookie “Heh heh heh” laugh which always cracks me up.) I needs me a Cookie, fo’reals. Where can I find one?

I was pathetic devoted enough to watch some of the live feed of his Top3 homecoming and thanks to fandom, I pretty much saw all the YT vids of what went on that day. His hometown visit was sweet sweet vindication for him; I was touched and got really weepy. Elliott’s homecoming still can’t be beat but Da.vid’s had a different sort of poignancy that’s equally compelling. Like I said, sweet sweet vindication.

I’m so thrilled for him that the stars have finally aligned and all his hard work has come to fruition. And while it’s vindication for him, it’s like a beacon of hope for me that dreams can come true. Seeing Davi.d go after his dream and the tenacity and determination with which he has done it has really made wonder: what is my dream?

I’ve been a hardcore supporter of some contestants in the past (Clay, E.lliott, Blakealious) but I have never ever been as invested as I am in Da.vid. I want him to win this so so badly and I think he has it in the bag but I don’t wanna anticipate it. I want to see that confetti raining down on him while he belts out that coronation song made awesome by his arrangement as he tries to hold back the tears… and I’ll be at home, smiling through mine. I can’t wait, y’alls!

(And while he is my future husband, I’d be willing to give him up to Ma.ndy Moo.re, whom he seems to have a huge crush on. My boy has good taste, I’ll give him that. I’ve always had this sekrit desire to be her (srsly) and now I have one more reason why, haha.)

DC FTMFW!!11!!!11!

So, clearly something is up with the universe cos all my gadgets are fuckin’ DYING on me.

First Jason!pod… now MartyK!phone. Like ZOMGWTF?!!??! *headdesk*

I don’t even know what happened: nope, didn’t drop it, didn’t do nothing to it… it just started malfunctioning. I can’t even switch it on; all I get is the No.kia thingy and then a White Screen of Doom and then it just blanks out. Great, just fuckin’ great. I am not a happy camper. The only good thing is that my phone is under warranrty so I’ll be heading to the Care.Center to get it fixed.

Obviously, I’ll be MIA in the next few days at least. Hmmmph.

EPIC EPIC FAIL.

(I’d be a lot more pissed off/frustrated if I wasn’t feeling all zen-like after the dance session today. Fan-ta-syyyyyy. Haha.) 

I think Jason!pod went kamikaze on me. *supersadface*

I dropped it yesterday as I was pulling it out of my pocket and I was like, OH SHIT. But then it seemed fine… until later when I switched it on and it gave me the Sad Face Icon Of Doom. NOOOOOOOOOOO.

I reset a couple of times and, to my relief, that worked. It worked this morning today… until halfway to work when it just suddenly hanged in the middle of DCoo.k crooning at me to “heed his warning”. I was like, THE FUCK???

Got the Sad Face of Doom icon again and no matter how many times I reset, that damn sad face icon mocks me every. single. time. Sighhhhhh. So now my only chance is that my ‘puter will recognize Jason!pod when I plug him in and I can restore to factory settings (which will, unfortunately, wipe out all my music).

Sighhhhh.

So now I’m stuck at work without my music, I’m bored as fuck and I can’t wait to go home and chill out in my room with my romance novel du jour and DCo.ok telling me my laugh is intoxicating (I love that fuckin’ song of his so damn much).

In less depressing news, it’s Cal’s birthday today. Happy birthdayyyyyy, Cal!

I’m sorta back in my weird Virgo bubblespace again and there’s not even a particular reason for it. I just feel really prickly and the things that people do or say annoy me much more easily. My threshold for being nice and social and tolerating bullshit is really really low right now. Some weird quirk that someone has that I maybe used to find amusing/cute/only mildly irritating? Now that same weird quirk would probably make me wanna stab myself with a spork.

So, yes I am in a bad mood.
Sighhhhhh.

I have a new girl-crush!

After wanting to for a while now, the new promo package at Stu.dio.Wu finally induced me to part with my money. $420 for 3.months of un.limit.ed dance classes, with a free 3 months. That’s 6 months of dance in my future and it’s a real steal if I remain conscientious about going very often.

Anyway, my new girl-crush: Ka.te!

I know of her, obviously… and she’s one of the few female dancers here I admire (and want to be like!). Between her and my girl Gi.n, they make me wish I was tiny and petite and can dance like no one’s business. Sigh. She has a girls’ HH class which I attended and it was awesome!

First of all, I was about 15 minutes late (long story which involves a major level of road rage towards the SLOWEST BUS DRIVER EVERRRR!!!) and she had already started with about 4 counts. So I sheepishly zipped in there and tried to play catch up.

She taught to What.ever You.Like (love the beats) and she was surprisingly a good teacher. Her class was mostly, in my perception, made up of girls new to dance. (The girl wearing PE shorts was a bit of a giveaway of the noob-ness. :x) There were about 10 of us and she did a lot of reps and made sure everyone was doing okay before continuing.

Her style is similar to G.in’s but her choreography is a little less OMGWTF-HOWDOYOUDOTHATSHIT?!?!?! which is the feeling Gi.n’s choreo inspires in me. Hahahahah. Just that it was quite fast and had an LAHH vibe (to me). That kinda cool, groovy vibe I really like.

Anyway, I was stressing a bit, trying to get it and dance it right. Cos y’know, it’s not a nice feeling when you don’t get it, haha. Towards the end, I finally got most of it down, except for this cool semi-glidey move near the end. o__O She made us do it in two groups and then she picked 3 people to do it.

Guess who was one of the three? :D

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Felt nice, obvs. Heehee. But not like a super duper achievement since the class was mostly full of noobs. But still cool, of course. :D If I hadn’t been picked, then that would’ve been bad. HAHAHAHAHA! But even if I didn’t get it all right, I hit it harder than the others, which would’ve at least counted for something!

ANYWAY. The best part was yet to come: after class, when everyone was just milling about, she came over and asked my name and asked if I was new. I had the feeling she was sussing out if I had any dance experience, so I said yeah but I’ve danced before. So she asked with who, I said NU.S and then she was like ohh and SAID I WAS GOOD. Woooo! Awesome, right? This coming from a kick-ass dancer like her. Ego restored after bring pwned at Br.yan’s MT.V class the previous day, LOL.

Ego-boosting moment aside, I really enjoyed her class. I think it’s definitely on my must-go list for the next 6 months. Plus, it’s at the Ea.stpoint studio which is more convenient. SCORE!
