5awesomegays

so i found this youtube channel, called the
5awesomegays
i am in love with those guys
monday - andy
tuesday - korey
wednesday - stevie
thursday - greg
friday - tyler

those guys are hilarious, and very gay. but i love them.
oh and greg is really good looking. like, if he weren't 20 somethin, and gay, he'd be mine.
lol
each day they make a post, and each asks a question, then they all answer everyone's questions. you gotta catch yourself up though, like watch some from the past. i like 3/27 (wolf gang) cuz greg is like a.d.d. then 3/28 tyler is crazy funny. both deal with pochahontas. greg plays the recorder like nobody's business.
i love love love them! i have to watch them everyday, they're that good. not so much andy, he's boring. favies are stevie, tyler, greg. i do like korey too... no, i love them all except andy. i just like him. he's kinda ugly.

so watch them when you can, because seriously, they rock socks the way only gays could.
haha [heart] lizzy
i can't make the hearts with the arrow and 3, it deletes things.

top 8; idol gives back

this week they had to sing inspirational songs
Michael Johns - Dream On
i didn't find it inspirational. he was good. fine. i'm real tired of him.
Syesha Mercado - I Believe
this was by fantasia. so she was compared to that. she's good, but not very memorable. like, the audience doesn't get her.
Jason Castro - Over the Rainbow
this was freakin amazing. he PLAYED THE UKULELE!!!! holy poop! i thought he was the best of the night. it wasn't judy garland, it was some other guy. now, if you don't know who judy garland is, die.
Kristy Lee Cook - Anyway
i found it very inspirational for her because there was a line about how they may say you're forgettable, but you'll sing anyway. omg i laughed, because simon calls her forgettable. hehe. she was surprisingly good though.
David Cook - Innocent
again, not one of those songs that's like, POW! INSPIRATION! but i guess it was okay. i couldn't hear him. that always happens for idol. the music is too loud, and the singers can't be heard. i don't know if it's just my tv or what. he wrote "give back" on his hand and held it out. i found that cheesy, but sweet. it wasn't his best performance though.
Carly Smithson - The Show Must Go On
big rock song. i get it... she's always good, really loud
David Archuleta - Angels
i think he played the piano.... he was good, as always. i'm done with him though. like, i hate him. he is very very very overrated, because he's not as fantastic as everyone says.
Brooke White - You've Got a Friend
weird song, but she was good. her voice does this cracking thing, i kinda like it, but it does get strange.

idol gives back
it was a waste of two and a half hours. except the so you think you can dance dancers were there!!! that made me happy.

results
they have raised so much money it's not even silly.
like wayyy over 60 million. there are good people out there!
i'm not gonna waste any time.
they called them out one by one for the bottom three, but no one was in it... the last three in the back were it. clever!
bottom three:: carly, michael, syesha
goodbye michael johns. apparently america was really mad. i wasn't, i was sick of him.. but he did have fans apparently. and some people thought that because they didn't kick anyone off last year for IGB, they wouldn't this year, but they did.
good riddance.

YAYYYAY!!!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE
STARTS MAY 22
THAT'S A THURSDAY!
OMG I'M SOOOOOOO EXCITED
i've been watching those fierce commercials for weeks, and finally we have a date!!!
I AM SOO ECXITED!

having a tamil text

so i'm having this thing convert my text into this font called tamil.
well, not text, but font.

i can't remember what i said, but it was something like that.

மகிங் ஏ தமிழ் டெக்ஸ்ட்

சோ இ'ம் ஹவிங் திஸ் காங்வேர்ட் மி டெக்ஸ்ட் இன்டோ திஸ் பொண்ட் கல்லேது தமிழ். வெள், நாட் பொண்ட், பட் லங்குஅகே.
புன், ஹு?

new season news!

i heard about the new season(s)!!!

i think the 5th is starting already in july!!! omg soo excited!

then sister told me all this other news about comming after that.
she said season 5 would be this summer, then i think 6 would be in the fall, so there's gonna be like 3 this year.
then the show is moving to... lifetime. i think. so they're leaving bravo. if they come back for more than 6 seasons. seeing as we don't even have a real date for 5th, lets not get our hopes up.

but gosh, my hopes are up!!! so excited!
oh, and guess what, christian won!
(sorry, but i'm still thrilled about that!)

umpa lumpa food

is that how you spell umpa lumpa?
this episode was a looooooooonnnnnnggggg time ago! i just realized that...
quickfire
they had to do something will veggies and knife skillz. if you can't handle a knife well, you suck.
Bottom 3 - Nikki, Lisa & Manuel. how do you have a bottom for veggie plates?
Top 3 - Zoi, Richard & Dale
winer of immunity:: dale. congratz on the veggie/ knife skillz
elimination challenge
the chefs are in groups of two, or three for one group, and they are making a six course dinner based on movies. so each group picks any movie, and they get to make food based on that.
the teams and their work are as foll0ws::
Dale, Richard & Andrew - Willy Wonka
they get to use chocolate and they make a "fizzy lifting" drink. i thought that was funny. if you haven't seen the original willy wonka, leave the united states right now. then they said the thing about burping to get down from the ceiling (and impending death by huge rotating fan). the food was good, presentation was good. although andrew did want to dress up like umpa lumpas do serve it, that didn't happen.
Spike & Manuel - Good Morning Vietnam
they just wanted to do vietnamese food, so they picked a vietnamese movie. i think that's cheating. they did like spring rolls and stuff. it didn't seem very good, plus they cheated.
Jen & Nikki -Il Postino
it's an italian movie, so they made their own pasta. which i think is cool. i don't think it was great, but it was good enough.
Ryan & Mark - A Christmas Story
they were really funny. they did it beacuse in the movie there's no turkey, so they use duck. but the store (whole foods) didn't even have turkey or duck. so they used quaile. and there was something about chinese food, too. i don't remember. they were funny though, and did swell.
Antonia & Zoi - Talk to Her
it's some romantic spanish story. so they got to do spanish food. and they "wanted" bright yellow colors, from safron, but they didn't, because they wanted it to taste better. whatever. the food wasn't great.
Lisa & Stephanie - Top Secret!
i think that's how the title is, with an ! . this is one of those movies... i'm guessing like epic movie or meet the spartans, where it's not really a movie, more of a long joke. which is fine. i love epic movie. so there's this scene in it with a guy in a cow suit, so they made beef. they had lots of sauces... but the food was great, from what the judges said.
Top 2 - Dale, Andrew & Richard and Stephanie & Lisa.. as it should be
winner:: richard.
Bottom two - Antonia & Zoi and Spike & Manuel
packing their knives::manuel
thank the lord, i was creeped out by him

top 9

dolly parton comes this week, with her big hair, big boobs, and tiny waist
Brook White - Jolene
she was just good. i bielive she had her guitar with her. she was good, and the song was sung around the house, but it wasn't great
David Cook - Little Sparrow
he did this falsetta thing (is that it? i don't know, it was the "high pitch" thing). great. not shocking.
Ramiele Malubay - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?
i remember the short shorts and tall boots, not so much the singing. she's a good singer, maybe not this week though.
Jason Castro - Travelin' Through
he was just okay. he lost his touch at this point.
Carly Smithson - Here You Come Again
um.... i don't remember this at all. she's always good though.
David Archuleta - Smokey Mountain Memories
same as carly. he's always "good". but i don't like him.
Kristy Lee Cook - Coat of Many Colors
um... i try real hard to mentally block kristy's performances. i know she was good-ish. she's been getting better.
Syesha Mercado - I Will Always Love You
huge song. pretty predictable for her. she always picks those big songs, then does okay. stuck in my head too.
Michael Johns
i have no idea what he sang. he's good. but i don't like him.

results.
there's an hour of fillers, then the...
bottom three:: kristy (gasp), brooke (real gasp), ramiele (nothing, not even sarcasm)
i knew it the night before who was going home. you could tell by the performance.
ramiele was standing between kristy and brooke, both her roommates, and they were at least a foot taller than her, easy. and she was like "you guys are too tall!"
then she went home. kristy was once again in the bottom two, but she was, once again, saved.
ramiele cried mucho. then sang. i wasn't broken, i knew it was comming, she knew it was comming. no one was surprised, i think.

i tried to keep it short this time. maybe too short? idk, tell me what you think.

I'D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU, BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU

BY ALLY CARTER
i have to do this quick.
i loved this book. cammie is at a private school for girls, and everyone thinks they're just stuck up rich girls, but they're actually training to be spies.
then she acidentally (one c or two??!) meets josh, a not spy from the near by small town. he sounds hot. there's some banter exchanged about a lucky cat, stuff like that. cammie tries to secretly date him, by sneaking out of the castle.
it's a good book, full of mystery and intrigue. not really intrigue, but...
i wanna read the sequel now, CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY
i don't have the book now, so i can't quote it, but it was good.
plus, there were TWO, count them, 2! gilmore girls mentions in two pages! extra points for that!

youtube to ipod conversions

i will try to to this step by step... it's a bit self-explanitory, but i'll help.
go here... http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/

it should look like this...

click the circled one.

now it looks like this...

click the circled link

there will be a text box, just say "RUN"

wait for download. maybe say "RUN" again...
there is a setup thing. just say yes yes yes, install, finish.

now, i just learned this. you go to Start, All Programs, then find DvdVideoSoft

click free studio manager

then you get this little buddy. in the top box, you put the url. (youtube) then the bottom box fills with this computer jargin that no one understands. i think you can change that to a file name (such as "potter puppet pals" . or you can change it later.

now you open itunes, and go to your movies library.

go to file, import, pick the title, and open it.

then it should apear with all the other ones.

all you have to do now is go to your ipod part, videos, or movies, check the box, and sync.

i hope this works, i think it should. otherwise, just play around with it, the directions on line are a bit confusing, but they'll help if you're lost. i think i've done a pretty good job here. i think you can enlarge the pictures by clicking on them too, but i don't know...

that's it for now. tell me how it works!

she should have slid

there's issues in the house because lauren threw away fatima's coffee. lauren's kind of scary. like she gets angry and violent and scary.
the challenge this week is go-sees! which i love! they had teams of two for the go-sees, and gps's to guide them through new york.
Team 1 - Claire, Dominique, Stacy-Ann & Whitney.
Team 2 - Lauren, Fatima, Anya & Katarzyna
whitney was hurt on the inside by one designer because she's plus size, and they don't do that. that happens all the time to plus sizers, deal.
they had a winning team:: team 1
and one big time winner::: stacy ann.
they got to do a seventeen mag. foto shoot.
the bigg photo shoot this week was CRAZY AWESOME! it was at some strange circus type thing, with like acrobatics and craziness.
the girls had to lay in puddles, on a clear plastic sheet, in the air, with crazy lights behind them and the camera under them. so it was like... crazy. i liked it.
claire went first, and she was like, "i'm gonna slide in" which i thought wouldn't be dumb, like a slip'n'slide kinda. but jay was like "no". so she FELL! she just went straight... i'll draw it...
click to enlarge :)
she really did get like whiplash, because her head hit and bounced back hard. i felt bad, but also i was annoyed. she saw stars and had to sit out for a while.
why did they wear such nice fancy dresses? they got them all wet!
katarzyna's hair was cut this week. i do like it, but i liked it emo better. i should do my hair like the emo one last week, that was fierce.
the other girls did pretty well. not lauren. she was crap. she said her contacts fell out, and she couldn't breathe, it was just bad. so was claire.
whitney was good. they compared her to a "full figured fetus"(alliteration). which... makes sense, but not really. i liked her picture though.
fatima was good. she had these crazy finger things going on. strange, but good.
Order - Fatima, Anya, Katarzyna, Whitney, Stacy-Ann, Dominique.
Bottom 2 - Claire vs Lauren
in the end, claire is sent home. i was sad. she was like my favorite until she was dumb and fell onto the plastic. it doesn't bounce! but yeah, i think she's wayy better than lauren, or stacy ann, or dominique, but she's gone.
i think SA is just skirtting along, she's not great, but she doesn't suck. sick of it.
oh yeah, covergirl of the week is... katarzyna! not claire! omg!
i think my favorite now is katarzyna. or anya, she's really good, but her talking annoys me.
till next time...

omg i know that house!

gettin right to it...
quickfire
reinvent a high class taco... and still make it taste like street food. i guess it's okay...
richard was using some other sort of thing to make shells, not real ones. it was weird.
Bottom - Erik, Lisa & Ryan
Top - Andrew, Richard & Spike
winner: richard. i think spike was mad... whatever. richy rich gets immunity.
now padma makes them go in the cars, in teams. red team gets a red car, blue team gets a blue car.
Blue Team - Richard, Manuel, Stephanie, Nikki, Antonia, Mark & Lisa
Red team - Zoi, Dale, Andrew, Spike, Ryan & Jenn
they end up in this strange neighborhood. they have to cook for the 'hood's annual block party. for the food, they have to go to the peoples' houses and ask for it. haha!
omg. i have seriously been to that neighborhood! it looks just like my mom's friend's 'hood. and i totally went to the block party!! i was just like :0!! because i swear i've been there. i was looking for the kids i know, but i didn't see them. i won some Swiss Rolls at that block party.
so while i was waiting for the chefs to get food from the house that i have SLEPT AT, they ran like crazy. they never went there.
they needed mucho food, for like... 40+70... like 110 people! plus they needed kid-fun-dly food. ( i mixed friendly with fun!) i think i'm losing it here...
then they go back, prepare food at the place, bring it back to street, and prepare for crazy. ness.
blue team menu:: Paella, Slaw, BBQ pulled pork, bean salad, Inside-out cookie, sexy drink, fruit cobbler, mac n cheese.
how do you have a "sexy drink?" i didn't get that part.
red team menu:: sliders, corn dogs, pork skewers, sangria waldorf salad, pasta salad, taco salad & s'mores
they stuck marshmallows on a stick and used a flame torch. funny. but the corn dogs were soggy. ick.
all the people come, get food, enjoy, red team plays basketball with the youn'uns. i didn't see anyone i know...
blue team wins. yay!
winner: stephanie, for fruit cobbler and sexy drink.
packing their knives: erik. he had soggy wieners. or soggy doggies, if you perfer.
lol byebye

more nower music

so i've found more!

the maine

• the way we talk. bit dirty. "sex cells, and your sex cells, make all the lost boys drool". but it's a good song. plus i like this line... "you're as fake as the moans you make, you're as weak as the hearts you break." funny song...

every avenue

• where were you? omg, this was like my ocd for a few days. bit more poppy, punky, maybe, not sad. i love it. makes me want to sing.. which i shouldn't

all time low

• coffeshop soundtrack
• six feet under the stars. i just got this so i don't know if i love it yet, but it does say "fierce.."
• dear maria, count me in. not much to say. good. creepy laughing though...

the academy is

• slow down. i didn't know if i liked them, but now i do. it's all the lyrics...

maday parade

• jersey. like the state or the name... it's always stuck in my head, and i just bought it 2 minutes ago. somehow it was in there before though. catchy i guess...

the starting line... i just found them. these are the songs i bought, but i don't know about them much yet

• the best of me. listening to it right now. it's good.
• bedroom talk. kind of funny i think.
• island. listening to this right now. good hooks. i don't really know what hooks are, but i talk like i do. it's good...

i'll probably be having these like weekly, because i'm always finding new songs. which i love.

THE SCHWA WAS HERE

BY NEAL SHUSTERMAN
woah. i just noticed that the E in shusterman is upside down on the cover. because that's what a schwa is. the upside down e, like for pronouncing things in the dictionary. but it's also the kid's name. and he's kind of invisible.
this book is really really weird, but good. kind of confusing, but not so much that you get lost and frustrated.... that doesn't happen to me much. Malmie said i'm a real good reader :D.
the kids kind of solve a mystery, one that they didn't really want to know. there's lots of parts of this, lots of drama... a girl, loss of friends, parental discrepancies, broken hips, madre madness.
that's all i'll give away. oh, and afghans, the dogs... huh...
clipclipclip...

" 'are you looking for this?' i heard another voice say. the voice was scratchy, like a kid who's screamed a little too much. i turned, and i swear to you, the first thing i see is Manny's manequin head floating in midair. i only see it for a split second, but it's the creepiest thing. then in that split second my brain does a quick retake and i see that there's a kid holding the head under his armpit. i couldn't really see the kid at first on accounta his clothes are kind of brownish gray, like the rocks around him, and you know how your mind can play tricks on you when the light is just right."

the book is written funny, like by a 14 year old new yorker, cuz that's who antsy is. funny name. funny story.

JEREMY FINK AND THE MEANING OF LIFE

BY WENDY MASS
i thought this book would be dumb a year ago. sister bought it, we just had it. but then i read it. mostly because i had already read most everything in the house. including shampoo bottles. twice. so i read this. and let me tell you, it is wayyy better than i expected.
so jeremy and lizzy (i know, it's me!) are besties, and very troublesome. but funny. and he gets this box from his dead father. but he can't open it because he doesn't have the four keys. uh oh! so they go on adventures to find them. they meet lots of interesting characters. learn things. hula hoop.
the plot does seem to meander a bit, just in the middle, when they are temporarily sustained from the key search. then at the end, all at once, they find them. nice ending. it was a bit sad. i didn't cry though.
here's my clip...

" 'Um, you might want to turn that over,' Lizzy says. i just keep shaking the box back and forth, mesmerized. she finally grabs it from my hands, flips it over, and hands it back. staring up at me are the engraved words THE MEANING OF LIFE: FOR JEREMY FINK TO OPEN ON HIS 13TH BIRTHDAY.

i'd recognize my dad's handiwork anywhere."

okay... well... read it i guess. i won't force ya to though, but it is good.

top 10

this weeks theme:: sing a song from the year you were born fun! we also get childhood stories! funner!
Ramiele Malubay - 9/6/87 - Alone
she used to walk up to kids, bite them, and walk away. social skills
this is a really big song and she isn't big enough for it. i think carly sang it already this season... i thought... and carly was better
Jason Castro - 3/25/87 - Fragile
lol. he and his brother had fake instruments a "keytar" lol that's my favorite new word, cuz it's like a guitar, with keys. haha.
what's with all the languages for this kid?! last week french, this week spanish. it wasn't great. simon think's jason isn't serious about Idol, and he's like "i guess i could practice more". haha
Syesha Mercado - 1/02/87 - If I Was Your Woman
um... don't care about her life story
it was boring, but really good. she has a big range, but i don't think she conects to the audience enough.
Chikezie Eze - 9/11/85 - If Only For One Night
um... he's african.
it wasn't a crazy song! but it got boring, and a little cheesey, because of that.
Brooke White - 6/2/83 - Every Breath You Take
she hears a song, and can play it on the piano. that's amazing! she was a really nerdy kid...
she started, wrong key, and started again. i was like :0! but the judges said that was really professional. she's good, and the piano was good.
Michael Johns - 10/20/78 - We Will Rock You/We are the Champions
um... he's austrailian
i was confused because this is 2 songs. but they were released together, as kind of "one" so it was kinda like a medley. i love medleys. he was good this week, but the strobing lights freaked me out.
Carly Smithson - 9/12/83 - Total Eclipse of the Heart
she had HUGE curly hair.
simon didn't like her clothes. whatever. she was good.
David Archuleta - 12/28/90 - You're the Voice
um.. he's a boring kid. he danced with his sis.
simon didn't believe that he picked the song himself. i kinda liked it. it was funny. oh well. you know he was good...
Kristy Lee Cook - 1/18/83 - God Bless the USA
loser kid.
i hate her but she didn't suck this week. that's not to say she's gonna win, but she didn't suck. simon said it was the best song choice in years, but.. .maybe. probably not though.
David Cook - 12/20/82 - Billie Jean
omg. he had a HUGE head! he's really funny.
this was a michael jackson song! but he used someone else's version of it, so we have to give that guy credit. but omg it was amazing. now every week i tell my story about how i said that he would be the dark horse and become the one to beat, and i was right. he's amazing. my new favy fave.

results show
um... yeah, i don't really remember this, and i'm sick of writing about it...
soooooo.
bottom three::: syesha, jason (gasp!) and chikeze.
ryan asked jason what he felt, and jason kept on rambling like a fool. he's not bright. so he's talkin and talkin, then ryan's like "sit down" so he did. i was releaved, but i don't know why.
bottom line::: chikeze is out. good. i've been sick of him forever.
it was the hand touching, my friend. the "cheesey ezie" ness of it. lol.
lizzy out!

SO YESTERDAY

BY SCOTT WESTERFELD
again, with the scott. he's just a genius i think.
17 year old Hunter is just that, a hunter. of all things cool. it's like his job. kinda funny. so he meets Jen, someone with cool shoe laces.
then his boss goes missing. mysteriously.... it's a suspensful book. well, almost, not really.
it's a good book, i learned things, which seems to be one of scott's themes. actually... i can tell you the story line of all the the books of his that i've read....... ...

mid to late teenager finds themselves in some sort of pickle. whether it's saving the smoke or the world or their boss, it's a pickle. they meet someone a bit strange, of the opposite sex, of course, and true love ensues. they solve the pickle together, and exchage witty comebacks as well as saliva.
now, i have nothing wrong with these books, they are some of my favorites. scott westerfeld is still great. but it's predictable.
although, predictable might not be so bad here, because said predicted theme is still good.
so yes, read this book, even though i haven't said much about it, but you get the picture. it's good.

the music of... now

i can't put off making a music list for "M" any more. so here goes...
deffinately anything mayday parade. like really

• champagne's for celebrating (i'll have a martini) ... my current ocd
• you be the anchor that keeps my feet on the ground, i'll be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds. sister didn't believe that title. but the song rocks...
• one man drinking games ... kinda sad, but great
• ocean and atlantic... good song that makes very little sense, but manno.
• when i get home you're so dead.... and get the music video too
• i'd hate to be you when people find out what this song is about. ... "tongue tied and terrified"... good
• miserable at best
• black cat
• jamie all over ... louder, peppier, just for you "M"
• three cheers for five years. ... not my favorite but definately good.

cute is what we aim for

• finger twist and split ... it says "fierce" what more can you want?
• moan... bit dirty (lol or "risque" if you like big words) but really really really great
• risque ... though it's not really dirty...
• sweet talk 101. i just like it for the line about the mirrors. funny.

the rocket summer

• do you feel

motion city soundtrack

• everything is all right ... i like this better. "i'm sick of the things i do when i'm nervous, like cleaning the oven or checking my tires" lol
• this is for real

now, some of these songs you may have to listen to a couple of times to get the real feel for them. Anchor song, i didn't like so much at first. but once i listened to it a few times, i couldn't turn it off. and you have to listen to the WHOLE THING. don't listen to 10 seconds, decide it sucks, and drop it. you have done that multiple times to me "M" and it makes me scream.

for songs that i'm not sure that i love, i've been getting the videos for them from youtube. not music videos, just random ones made by peeps who like them, usually with the lyrics. then i learn it. i can teach y'all how to cheat the system, sometime soon.

if i find any new HUGELY amazing songs, i'll just post 'em

luvyameanit(sometimes)
