Fuck him with a cactus!

Got the job! I just have to turn in some paperwork next week, wait for payroll to process it (two weeks), then attend a couple of training sessions.

It's only $8 an hour but it's the easiest job ever: Making sure the towels in the fitness area are stocked, closing lockers, putting up the weights. Fuck, I'll do that for $8 an hour. You only have to work in 4-hour shifts too and you can do up to 20 hours a week, although a lot of people do less, since Penn only allows up to $1000 in pay per semester, I believe. He said I'm coming in at a good time because he's redoing the schedule for Spring semester, so I'll be sure to get shifts each week. :) If I can get like 12 to 16 hours a week, that should be good, when coupled with my refund. I'll have to budget carefully but I can make it work. And totally borrow money from my family members if need be. LOL

Yeah, so in like three weeks, I should be working, which is perfect because that's when I'm set to move into my new apartment. :D

ETA: Oh and the shifts are SUPER flexible and if it's ever necessary, you can trade shifts. The title is Operations Assistant. Sounds all important and shit. LOL And it's on campus so YAY!

If you want to stay on my f-list or be removed from it. Comment here if you feel like it. If you don't comment, I'll keep you on by default if I know you well enough.

Comments are screened for your privacy.

Who are you, anon? The mystery of this is driving me nuts.

Perhaps it's time for an f-list clean up, which I really don't want to do, but I can't tell if anon is on my f-list or not because the entry was unlocked. I did disable anon commenting because, really, if you have something to say, own up to it and own your comment. idgaf if it's different from mine but take responsibility for it. This is why I dislike anon commenting. If you're not bold enough to say it and own it, why say it at all?

Also, the 1st Amendment only applies to a public forum. All bets are off in a private forum, including a private LJ. It's my right to decide on a rule at random and enforce it at random. This is why comms and forums can make their own sets of rules and plenty of them have rules on what can and can't be said or can and can't be done. The rules can apply for only specific situations or they can be blanket rules and they can change without notice. The "please don't say anything negative" rule was for that specific entry at that specific time and now the rule is lifted because I feel like it.

What I can't figure out is that I've said the exact same thing ("don't say xyz for right now") multiple times in the past and no one had an issue with it then. Why bother getting your panties in a bunch now? I made the temporary rule to AVOID arguments because I was feeling over-protective and combative and I didn't want to get into arguments, which WOULD have happened if I had to sit through people bad mouthing Adam.

Should I add a "please" after the request? I don't think it's necessary. If you don't like something I say, the scroll button is to your right or just take me off your f-list. I promise my feelings won't be hurt. I'm a big girl.

I got this journal so I can speak my mind and I'm not afraid to do just that. Nor will I censor what I say for fear of offending someone's sensibilities. I'm opinionated and not afraid to express that but if you didn't know that by now, you clearly haven't been paying attention. If I really have an issue with what someone says, I'll rant in my own journal instead of shitting all over theirs.

This is what I'm most annoyed by: A) Hiding behind anon commenting. B) Being told what I can and can't do and what rules I can and can't make in my own LJ.

And wtf is with the random liberal bashing? I think it's clear what my politics are, so again, why suddenly take issue with it now after all the blatantly political posts I've made and will continue to make whenever I feel like it.

Maybe my extreme Adam Lambert fangirling annoys people but it's no different than my extreme Star Trek fangirling when the new movie came out or my extreme Doctor Who fangirling when the new Doctor was announced or my extreme Tokio Hotel fangirling when something goes on in that fandom. If I don't feel like hearing people shit on my fandoms on any particular day, I'm within my rights ON MY LJ to say that.

I'm over-protective of Adam and I stan him hard and you'll just have to deal for now. Again, scroll button is to the right or just take me off your f-list if you don't feel like reading it.

I shouldn't have to make posts like this one on my own personal LJ.

Disabling comments because I don't feel like defending myself AGAIN when I shouldn't even have to.

Hey, if threats of boycotts work for the rabid right-wingers, I say we give it a go.

I'm going to attempt the insane shortly and send an email to every company on the list from which I've purchased items before and tell them that I'm no longer buying their products because of their sponsorship of ABC and its programs.

If you're wondering what this is about, ABC cancelled BOTH of Adam's scheduled appearances (Kimmel and NYE). I'M SO FUCKING ANGRY RIGHT NOW, I DON'T EVEN...I CAN'T. IDK I WANT TO PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE FACE.

Adam's trying his best to calm all of us down, bless him. HOW MUCH MORE SHIT IS HE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH? Despite everything, he's sweet and selfless enough that he's trying cheer up his fans even though he's probably hurting pretty badly right now. I'm so fucking PROUD to be an Adam Lambert fan. He's always putting us first before himself and you don't have many artists who care enough about their fans to do that. He's handling this so well, much better than I could in his situation and much better than I am even sitting here on the sidelines.

I'm so angry about this. This is the one of douchiest moves I have EVER seen.

( here's the most recent list of sponsors )



HAVE AT IT.

HAND ME MY FUCKING GLAMBERT NUMBER NOW. AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE ADAM, PLEASE JUST KEEP IT TO YOURSELF RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I SRSLY CAN'T DEAL WITH ANYONE CRITICIZING HIM OR BEING NEGATIVE ABOUT HIM AT THE MOMENT AND I'LL LIKELY SAY SOMETHING UGLY THAT I'LL REGRET LATER ON.

ETA: C'MON, PEOPLE. IF YOU'RE PISSED WITH ME, DON'T HIDE BEHIND ANON COMMENTS. POST UNDER YOUR USERNAME OR GTFO.

ETA2: TREND THIS BITCH ON TWITTER. #AdamBringsChange

ADAM DEBUTED AT NUMBER THREE! NUMBER THREE! NUMBER FUCKING THREE! HE OUTSOLD RIHANNA!!!! AND HE'S #1 ON THE POP CHARTS, BITCHESSSSSS. GO GET 'EM, BB. BOW DOWN TO OUR GREAT LORD AND MASTER, ADAM LAMBERT! XD








I JUST KILLED YOUR F-LIST AGAIN. HOPE NO ONE'S ON DIAL-UP. I CAN'T PUT MY BB BEHIND A CUT!

Oh ontd_ai drama. Please never stop! Another post on album sales numbers (Kris vs Adam) and MORE WAAAAAAANK. Fun to watch!

In other news, for some reason, Adam making funny faces into Ellen's backstage cam has finally calmed me down about his tweets. It's like, "There's my Adam being Adam! It's OK now." :D I feel much, MUCH better.

Head over heels for Adam. Head over heels. I'm reduced to panicking about a few tweets he made. How pathetic is that?

Like panicking so much that I can't even concentrate on my fucking paper now. THAT'S DUE TOMORROW. I NEED A HUG, SOMEONE. ANYONE, I DON'T CARE WHO. JUST GIVE ME A HUG NOW, PLZ.


In other news, I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW FRIDAY! YAY!


Now back to panicking and worrying about Adam. :(

I can't get enough of Lambliff! I'M ADDICTED. BUT OMFG, SO CUTE.



LOOK AT HOW INTENSE TOMMY IS.





THEY'RE TOTALLY SLEEPING TOGETHER AND NO ONE WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. IDGAF WHAT YOU SAY, IT'S TRUE.

AND WHY IS TOMMY SO FUCKING ADORABLE? HE'S LIKE ABSOLUTELY TINY AND FIERCE.

LAMBLIFF

I SHIP IT.

I SHIP IT HARD.

And no, it's not a cheesy fan-sponsored petition, it's actually being done by a legit publication.

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HIS AMAZING ALBUM AND GORGEOUS FALSETTO?

This makes me a little nervous, although these complaints and actions never succeed. Still... :( Shit just got real or something. Ugh. Adam doesn't deserve this bullshit. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. ::RAGE::

I wish they'd just leave my bb alone, this is really upsetting me. :*( I HATE, HATE, HATE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.

IT'S THE CONTROVERSY THAT JUST WON'T FUCKING DIE.

And I fucking hate that people are like, "Well, I'm sick of hearing about him in the news blah blah blah..." as if it was Adam's choice to turn this into a big fucking deal. Don't piss all over him, go blame the asshats who are being degenerate little fucks about everything.

CBS is still awesome for stepping in to book him but then they further fanned the flames by censoring the kiss while showing the Madonna/Britney/Christina kiss just when we were hoping things would die down. Now, the flames are STILL being fanned because we're getting a crazy right-wing douchebaggy legal group weighing in all late and wrong.

JUST LET IT GO, PEOPLE. YOU WON'T CATCH THE GAY BY LOOKING AT TWO GUYS MAKING OUT OR A MOCK BOY ON BOY BJ THAT AIRED AT ALMOST ELEVEN FUCKING PM ON A SCHOOL NIGHT.

In good news, his album should sell well over 200K. :3


*sigh*

God this is frustrating but I'm fangirling for the long haul and I ain't leavin' him now. :) ESPECIALLY NOW NOW. It was SO important that we were there for him on Wednesday and I think it gave him a much needed boost. People made a good point about how different his performance of Whataya Want From Me was on The Late Show just after the AMAs and on Wednesday morning after he saw hundreds of us there for him and they told him that we'd waited throughout the night to be there for him.

On The Late Show performance, it looks like he nearly wants to cry and the song is sung almost desperately like, "please understand me, please don't leave me, please don't give up on me." On Wednesday, it was more like a "thanks for sticking with me and supporting me, I'll figure this out."

When he sings, "It's me, I'm a freak..." I just want to scream, "NO YOU'RE NOT! DON'T TALK ABOUT YOURSELF THAT WAY!" :(

A+++ job writing that song for him, Pink! It's perfect.

ETA: MORE WTF NEWS-

Guy on guy action is bad but beating the shit out of your girlfriend is apparently A-OK! -_-

Down The Rabbit Hole


Srsly "Goin' down the rabbit hole, even hos and gigolos."

BEST. LINE. EVER.


Some people said that this song would be great for Tim Burton's new Alice In Wonderland movie and I agreed...before I realized that THE SONG SAYS HOS AND GIGOLOS. I do not think Tim Burton would put that in a movie, no matter how edgy he is, but I've been wrong many times before. I wish he would use the song because that would be the most awesome thing in the world.

A few are really pretty good, the majority are so-so, some just kinda suck. The ones that totally blow, I didn't bother uploading. I was shivering so much, it was hard to hold the camera still a lot of times and I couldn't quite get the "zoom in and focus" thing down on this camera because I'm not used to using it. LOL But I did get a few pretty good shots. Anyway, I promised I'd bring back photos, so here they are! Even if they are slightly craptastic. HEY, AT LEAST I TRIED!





( MASSIVE PHOTO DUMP )

I have two short little vids of him walking in and out because he went right past me but I didn't figure they were really worth anyone's time. lol

I'M COLD. LOL nah, just my hands really. I can't text with gloves on. The line's halfway down the block now! We got ur back, Adam. :) This is pretty fun and at least I'll get a decent spot for whatever's going down outside. They're building a stage or something idk. SO EXCITED! K, I'm gonna go back to freezing and tweeting. Getting online uses up too much battery.

Heading out the door now! See you hot bitches tomorrow afternoon. :D WATCH THE EARLY SHOW ON CBS OR DVR IT!

I LUFF YOU, BB.


TEAM ADAM!

TO GMA AND ABC:











TO THE EARLY SHOW ON CBS:




ETA: I'M STILL GOING TO NYC TONIGHT ANYWAY AND I'LL JUST HEAD OVER TO THE EARLY SHOW INSTEAD. RIGHT ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE. :3

I'M CAMPING OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT TO SEE ADAM LAMBERT.

No, I mean REALLY camping. None of that get there early the morning of shit. This is get there the day before territory.

See, what happened was...

I found out that most people are getting to GMA WAY before the 6:00AM time that Adam told us, so I'm like, "OMG I'M GETTING THERE AT 5:00AM, WILL THAT BE TOO LATE?" and another poster was like, "YEAH, BB. I THINK SO." So I'm like PANICKING nearly and I was just going to show up anyway, despite the fact that I probably wouldn't be able to get in. However...

I checked my ticket to see, on the off chance, if they did allow reservation changes. MEGABUS DOES! You just have to do it 24 hours prior to your departure time and my old departure time was 2:40AM on Wednesday morning. PLENTY of time to fix it. So after this whole production just to figure out how to get the "change reservation" function to work (turns out the quick view doesn't work, so you have to change reservations without logging in), I managed to change and print a new ticket for an earlier bus.

How much earlier?

I'll be leaving Philly at 8:15PM TODAY and arriving in NYC at 10:00PM (today=Tuesday- it's after midnight here already). Adam doesn't go on stage until like 8:00AM Wednesday morning or something. AND I'M GOING TO SLEEP THERE THE WHOLE GODDAMN NIGHT JUST TO SEE HIM.

I haven't even slept outside overnight for Tokio Hotel yet! I was always like, "Pffft...idk if I can bother with doing that." But this is one of those deals where YOU WON'T GET IN if you come too late and everyone else is getting there at like midnight, so that leaves me no options. I HAVE to get there early enough to get in or I will shoot myself in the face for real.

OK no I won't do that, but I'll be so disappointed. ;_; I mean, I think getting there at 10:00PM should get me in, right?

I just lost my mind and was like, "CWASDFGHJKLRIPYRTYUIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO OMFG I NEED TO SEE HIM I'VE GOTTA GET THERE EARLIER SOME SORT OF WAY. IDGAF IF I HAVE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE AND STARVE TO DO IT! I WILL NOT MISS ADAAAAAAM!!!!"

And my fingers just did their own thing and here I am with a ticket to leave at 8:15 on TUESDAY. D:

And I pretty much am going to sleep outside and starve. Good news is that I save on cab fare! I can just take the subway because it'll only be semi-late and not all creepy early.



WHERE'S MY STAN CARD FOR THIS? I THINK I'VE EARNED IT FOR REAL NOW.

HE MAKES ME WANT TO


( LISTEN TO MUSIC AGAIN! )


Who feels like they're in a really awesome 80s teen movie? XD


ETA: psychicherz, DID I TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU FOR HELPING INTRODUCE ME TO THIS FANDOM? DID I? IF I DIDN'T, I LOVE YOU LOTS. I REALLY DO. <3

AND YOU CAN GET IT FOR $.99 ON AMAZON.COM BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE MOST AWESOME PROMOS EVER.

This is why I LOVE buying new albums on Amazon! They always have crazy ass promotions where you can get stuff for super cheap. Today, for instance, I just got FYE for $.99, folks.

If you buy it online from Amazon, put in promotional code MP34FREE and it will give you a $3 credit. The album is going for a promo price of $3.99, so with the credit and the reduced price, you get FYE for $.99.


I mean, c'mon, you can't beat that. YOU HAVE $.99 IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT (most likely), so give it a listen, yeah? :3

Then I should get my physical copy via FedEx or UPS today or tomorrow. I was hoping today because I want that shiny rainbow sparkly shit in my actual hands but I think it'll probably be tomorrow.

SO YAY! I GAVE ADAM TWO SALES! I'd buy more if I wasn't so poor! Well, maybe later I'll pick up extra copies when I have money.

Now I'll have the rest of those tracks that I haven't uploaded yet. BRB ADDING SOME FIERCE SHIT TO MY MP3 PLAYER LIKE NOW.
