ONE (Via
celeni) OMFG TOY STORY 3!!!!
Click to view
No words for how excited I am for this! Toy Story is one of my all-time favorite movies, and its sequel is the only Disney sequel that measures up to the original. AND WE GET A THIRD ONE, OHMYLORD. I'll be turning 22 when this gets released, that's insane.
TWO My senior year of college is starting in a week. I don't quite know how to feel about that. First of all, it's been raining here for two days straight and I've been such a lazy ass that I can't be bothered to do much more than sit in front of the computer and fangirl. :P I don't want classes to start back up. I don't want to go back to all the stress and pressure, I don't want to think of Med school looming large right in front of me, I don't want to deal with profs and requirements and exams and no social life. Blech. I do want to go back to seeing my friends and orgmates every day, to go back to having an allowance (LOL), to go back to the possibility of watching a movie once or twice a month. YES PLEASE TO THOSE.
But. It's my last year of college, and I feel like there are so many expectations that I'm not living up to - my grades, my NMAT score, what my Med school options are. People - my parents, close friends, even some of my orgmates - are so on edge about where I'm going next, about how I'm going to get there. LOL but the thing is, I'm really not stressing over it at all. I'm super mellow because I know which path I'm taking, I know how to get to where I want to go. It's not the default road, it's not The Only Road Worth Taking, it's not what everybody's expecting from me, probably not even one that people think is good enough for me. But I know it, I'm taking it, and I'm happy. That's what matters, right?
THREE If you're
imjaw, or if you've been
following my Twitter, you know what I've been obsessing over lately. HAHAHA. It's been a week and a half since the Idol finale, and I've even more obsessed. So. Yeah. From the moment I wake up in the morning early afternoon until the last few moments of the day 3 or 4 in the morning, it's been nothing but Kris. And Adam. And Kris and Adam.
I CAN'T HELP IT, THEY ARE JUST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. I'm gonna share with you some of my favorite things!
one Pocket Idol on Ellen! ♥ The Kradam
shirt-switching video is the most adorable thing in the universe, but this awesome entrance totally made the whole thing for me:
two My brain exploded when saw the first picture. IT'S A TRAVESTY THAT NO ONE HAS LINKED ME THE VIDEO YET. But whatever - my all-time favorite Idol, and my closecloseclose second, together in one pic, ohmygod I DIED.
three I was fighting a ton of secondhand embarrassment while watching Kris on Jimmy Fallon, but this performance of "Heartless" totally made sitting through the interview worth it. OH MAN. This is my absolute favorite OF ALL TIME. If anyone ever says that the new American Idol cannot sing, I want to shove this video in his or her face, Lordy:

four MY BOYS BACK TOGETHER IN NEW YORK CITY, HOLLA! Their first "appearance" together was unsurprisingly epic. Thank God for USMagazine.com and their video editors that gave us
this interview. A++++++, will LOL forever, now on my list of Top 5 Favorite Kradam Moments Of All Time. :D
US: Who will take the top bunk on the American Idol tour bus?
Kris: Uh... I don't care.
Adam: I like the top.
[insert adorable, hysterical laughter here]
five Yay for the Today Show! First of all,
Kris and Adam back together on the TV screen! (Also: Kradam +
bonus Rickey Minor!)
Second of all, Kris did my favorite rendition of
"No Boundaries" so far (Pocket Idol has magical powers - I actually like that stupid song now), Adam killed on
"Mad World" as always (though if I never hear that song ever again, it will be too soon - sorry, bb), and the best part? They were totally watching each other perform. SO ADORABLE. HERE, HAVE SOME VIDEO EVIDENCE:

All battle talk aside, the guys legitimately seem to like and support each other. While Kris warmed up, Adam stopped signing autographs, so he could watch (and groove). Kris clearly made googly eyes back at Adam ("in the godly way," as Danny Gokey might say). Later, while Adam crooned "Mad World," Kris strummed his guitar and sang along backstage.

MTV.com six Every day, I keep thinking that I cannot love Kris Allen more if I tried. I wake up in the morning, and I believe that with all my heart. BUT EVERY SINGLE DAY, HE PROVES ME WRONG. God. I mean, seriously, with every new media thing that comes out, he never fails to make me smile and make my heart melt... and cheesily enough, he just makes me want to be a better person. ALSO: HE HAS RUINED ME FOR ALL OTHER MEN, UGH. HE IS TOO PERFECT.
On his frustration with Christians who wouldn't accept Adam Lambert:
There [were all these rumors] about how all the conservative, Christian people that would vote for me hate Adam and never want him to win because of who he is. Oh, it was so frustrating -- really bad, because we are really good friends. Why can't everyone get along? It never made any sense for me to judge anyone, who they are. It frustrates me that people can't get along with people because of their differences. And I'll tell you what, especially Christians. Christians have a hard time accepting people like Adam -- liberal, from L.A., looks different, maybe acts a certain way. He's a great, great guy. They don't even give him a chance. And it's frustrating because I come from that. A lot of my friends are not that way, which I appreciate, but a lot of people in Arkansas or in the South or wherever are that way. We really hope that our relationship can be an inspiration to people. I could go on about that forever.

EW.com seven
Cook's segment on Best Week Ever last year was pretty epic, so I was excited when I found out that Kris and Adam were gonna be in it this year. Adam - being a much better actor - understandably got
the longer segment, but of course
Kris is the one that takes the cake for me. CAPES! ♥
eight Kris sings "Yesterday" with Mike Huckabee. SO FREAKING GORGEOUS OMG. I'm more than willing to overlook his standing next to a Republican and just appreciate. I cannot be more grateful to have a "new" Kris Allen song to listen to, yay!

nine BONUS! I'll just spam you with some of my favorite pictures from the last week or so:
It's been a pretty epic week, and I'm sad that it's over. :( For now, there's only Kris's (supposedly action-packed) Idolatry interview to look forward to, and then I guess it's quiet time until tour rehearsals start and we all stalk the contestants' Twitter accounts for juicy deets. ROFL. And I guess it's about time for me to go back to my real life. Boo. I don't quite know what to do with myself if I'm not stalking Kris and Adam all over LA or NYC.
It's been extremely fun though, and I look forward to a few more crazy days in
ontd_ai, the last few days I'll have the comm in my flist. Hopefully I can still keep up once classes start again; I'm sure my boys + their posse have ten thousand more crazy things up their sleeves that we can squee over. HA.
FOUR Here, have some bonus David Cook. :)

this adorable video.)
FIVE It's the last day of May! You know what that means? THE BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR STARTS TOMORROW! June babies rawk, mmkay. \m/ I'm turning 21 in three weeks, it's kind of crazy.

Basically it would just be neat to be in a relationship with someone who is as intensely crazy as I am. Who just becomes enamored with people and the tiny details. I swoon over people in the most ridiculous way. I like all of the tiny details of people. When I am an ass over someone, I want to go back in time and punch people in the face for them. I want to run out to the store and get them ice cream at four in the morning because they can't go to sleep and they feel like something rich. And when I get back to your place with a half gallon of ice cream and your ass is passed out with your mouth open, catching flies, I want to cover you up with blankets and make sure you have enough pillows. I'll throw that ice cream in your freezer and go to sleep. I want you to tell me a story. I want to make this list of why I think you’re a neat human being.
