The best part about this whole experience was the free food. I say it before and I’ll say it again, who needs to perform every week when you can stuff your face with miniature sandwiches all day long? That is what I’m going to miss, the free food. But in all seriousness, I am going to miss this place. I am going to miss singing, and most importantly I am going to miss the people here. What the heck am I going to do without hearing Kimberley yelling to me about how I need to get up in the morning with everyone else and not sleep the day away. Who am I going to pick on about how I am stronger than they will ever be now that Josh isn’t around. And Trenyce. What the hell am I going to do now I’m out of the house? She, along with Clay, were my best friends in the entire house. What am I going to do now?
I can remember there were times were Trenyce and I would put on wigs, grab our brushes, and sing in the mirror. When I saw that she and Carmen were in the bottom three with me, I knew that I was gone. I’ll get to that later. What else can I say about Trenyce that hasn’t been said? She is the sweetest, most loving person I have ever met and I am going to cry myself to sleep for a couple of days just because I know when I roll over I won’t see her sleeping peacefully in her bed with the covers bundled at her waist anymore. I love you, baby, and shine bright for me. Take it to the top sweetheart.
There aren’t enough words to describe my admiration for Clay Aiken. He is like a brother to me. Ever since the semi-finals, Clay and I have been closer than I could have imagine getting to anyone. I remember when Clay and I would sit on the pool’s deck eating popsicle while telling crazy stories about our childhood. Yesterday, I got a chance to lay on his bed for the last time and hear him rant and rave about the usual things we’ve done for the past five weeks before he hopped on top of me and started crying. He said that I wasn’t going to leave and he was going to tie me to the bed. I would have said “sure baby, I’m all about the kinks” except that it was Clay and just ew gross. We sat there on the bed in dead silence listening to each other breathe. I broke the silence and declared that if he didn’t win that I was going to set it off in the studio and destroy it. He laughed. I like making Clay laugh.
I didn’t leave until the early morning because I begged and pleaded with the house mommy to let me stay the night since it was so late. I didn’t get much sleep. I stayed in Trenyce’s bed with Clay and we didn’t go to sleep. We just spent the entire night talking and reliving every single moment over and over. I left at 4 a.m. just an hour after the two fell asleep. I went around every room giving each one a final hug and told them I’ll see them Tuesday. Which I will because I am going to the live show. I’m not sad. I’m not going to complain about how I shouldn’t have left because I wasn’t the worst because it’s all over and done with. I just want the final 6 to know how lucky they are and know that they have to step up their games. I wish all of them luck and this isn’t the last you have heard from me. Believe that. I will make it. I didn’t come this far just to go back home. You’ll see me again.
Oh yeah, Justin Guarini asked me out so Corey I think it’s time for me to um say bye to you. No offense or anything but after you left the house, I just realized that I was just looking to hook up with someone in the house and when Ruben wasn’t giving me any you did just fine. Sorry, but I am breaking up with you. I don’t think Justin is really going to leave Ryan like he said he would if we hooked up but oh well Corey I can’t continue on with this lie. I am not into you at all anymore. Sorry. Speaking of Justin, he called my cell phone last night and told me that he will kill Carmen if he wanted me to and he wanted to hit on me when he saw me at the wild card show. He wants me to call him when I have a chance so he can take me out for a fine cuisine. I think he’ll even let me supersize it. Even though I lost on American Idol I am still a winner. Hi Kelly.
ps Charles I might take up your offer at working at the grocery store while I work part-time being a hairdresser with Julia, but I will hog the mic because that is my style do not start hating on me now.
