I hope you all had a safe and wonder-mous and blessed Christmas!
And if you don't celebrate Christmas, then yay for having the day off!!

I posted this on my Facebook, but I don't think I'm LJ friends and Facebook friends with any of the same people so I'll post it here, too :)

</div>

David Cook is the shit.
The End.

Happy DAVEMBER!!
November, the month of happiness, has FINALLY arrived!!!
Getcha guns up(:
Goodnight!


(btw, life is good)

So I haven't updated in like three weeks. Sorry! I'm SO incredibly busy, you wouldn't even believe! Just wanted to pop in and say hello(: Also, I need to tell you that I HIGHLY recommend that you buy Andy Skib's To Have Heroes EP. 'Tis freaking amazing and you will profusely thank me for you sending you in it's direction. School is lame. What's new? I can't wait for college! We're going to a college night thingymajig at the Civic Center tomorrow. I feel kind of fat lately. Booo. Light On is amazing! David Cook is amazing! I bought Kristy Lee Cook's CD. I really, really like it. I probably definitely would NOT go see her on tour because she's hardly a person, but I absolutely adore her singing voice. I'm seriously considering buying a good microphone and recording some songs on my computer, making a CD out of them, and sending them to Tennessee. I dream so much, so often, of being a singer and performer. I think it would be even better to be on American Idol, but I won't be able to audition for that for a couple more years. I'm old enough, yes, but I just..I don't know. Maybe in a few years. I bought the book "Twilight" today. It's really pretty good so far! Woo hoo! Umm...I don't know what else to say, and I'm also pretty tired so I'm going to go to bed soon(: Something is kind of effed up because I don't have that toolbar at the top of this posting box so I can't put any pictures under an LJ cut like I usually do :( So, you'll just have to pretend.

(Insert your own pretty pictures of David Cook and Andy Skib and other lovely looking people here)


Bye!

Hi(:
I love my job.
I can't wait to get married and have kids.
I can't wait to go to college and live my own life.
I can't wait to meet David Cook again.
I can't wait til the summer after next.

YAY LIFE!!!<3

More later, I'm sure. I've been wanting to post an update here on LJ for the past week, I guess, but I've just been so busy and tired and happy and sad and just so full of life! So, for now, I'll just leave it at this: everything, as of right now, is amazing<3 (except for I have a super sore throat..but hey, don't sweat the small stuff.) God is doing some really amazing things in my life lately and I couldn't be happier. I'm just so..like giddy about stuff!

Love. Hugs. David Cook.

( DAVID COOK PICSPAM! EVERYBODY FREAK OUT! )

So, last Thursday, August 28, 2008, in Oklahoma City, I met David Cook.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, wow.
Here's my super super super long review with pictures and videos!!
WARNING: NOT AT ALL EVEN CLOSE TO BEING DIAL UP FRIENDLY!!!
If you have dial up and want to see the pictures, I can give you links or something so you can look at them one at a time(:
( *I got all I waited for, and I could not ask for more* )

So, I haven't posted here in like..twenty days or so, so I thought I'd just drop in and say hello, and yes, in fact, I'm still alive!
School starts a week from today so who knows if I'll have time or anything exciting to even report! 
In ten days, I will be seeing David Cook. Ten mother freaking DAYS!!!!!!!
Holy expletives.

Bye(:

Love. Blah blah blah.

    David Archuleta's new single, "Crush", is seriously so good! And I don't get bored while listening to it, surprisingly! Like, on the show, whenever he would sing those ballads and stuff, I was like ahh hurry up and be done already. But this one could actually be on the radio and people might actually like it! It's very "pop" but who cares! It's Archie! And Jesse McCartney is "pop" and he's on the radio, so why not Archie?! Hehehe, I'm listening to it right now and it just makes me smile(: You, too, can download it here at rickey.org! Just scroll down a bit, you'll find it(:

    David Cook's cover of Radiohead's "Creep" just came on my iTunes<3 I haven't listened to this in a really long time and it makes me happy(:

Love.Hugs.Kisses.
--Laura!

    Well, hellloooo there.
 
    I met up with a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a while and we ended up talking for about two and a half hours. It was really nice to catch up with her and I realize that I'm becoming a real person, not just a teenager or a child, but an actual person with real feelings and morals that reflect other people's around me. It's kind of nice, knowing that I'm becoming a real person, ya know? I'm growing up(: I don't want to grow up too fast, though, that's for sure. She was telling me about her boyfriend, and it does sort of make me wish I had a guy in my life right now. But I know that that's not what God wants for me right now else, or else I'd him(:

    So, I've been reading people's reviews of the Idol tour and OH. MY. GOSH. I cannot wait!!! I feel like my show is never going to happen. Only 30 more days, though!!! Just the thought of seeing David Cook like within my vicinity freaks me out to the max. Wow. I'm going to cry my little eyes out, I think. I just won't be able to stand it!! Wow. And I so hope that I can take a picture hugging him. I think that would make my life kind of complete<3 AHHHHH. I'm like freeeaking out to the max now. And to see him perform live is going to rock my world, I do believe. In all honesty, I've hardly thought about seeing anybody else. I've thought about Cook, Archie (because my best friend loves him and we're going together), Jason, Michael, and Chikeze. I want to meet Chikeze a lot now! I hear everybody saying that he gives these amazing hugs and I really want one now!! And he's just adorable and I've always liked Mr. Chikeze, hehehe. He's so cute! Yeahhh. I'm excited to the MAX.

    Mark and Courtney are dancing to "Time of My Life" tomorrow on So You Think You Can Dance!!!!! That's going to be amazing!! I still miss Gev. In honor of Gev, I'll use an icon of him for this post<3 But Twitch is my favorite now. Oh, my gosh. On last week's results show when Twitch freaked out when he was in the bottom two, I almost cried! That was SO sad!! I felt so bad for him :( I hope we can see the show when they go on tour! And I really want to meet Twitch and Gev and Courtney and Thayne<3

    I think I'm going to go get some cereal (I'm obsessed with that stuff lately) and watch Across the Universe, since I didn't last night(:

( because I feel like pic-spamming. )


BYE!

Loves. Hugs. Kisses.

P to the S - if anybody knows where I can find layouts..like a community that has lots of them, lemme know, por favor(:

Hi! Hi! Hello!
I watched 21 with my parents tonight. It was SO good! Jim Sturgess is one of THE cutest guys in the world. He's even cuter in Across the Universe because he's using his British accent<3 Wow, I'm a sucker for a guy with an accent. In fact, I think I'll go watch Across the Universe after I post this(:
In exactly one month, I will be seeing the Idols in Oklahoma City!! AHHH I'm so excited. I've been counting down to this for two months already and now I'm 2/3 of the way closer!! Seeing David Cook in the flesh is going to be..life changing, to say the least. I can't wait to come back here and post all of my pictures and videos and HOPEFULLY tell you about meeting him(; David has really changed my life. Like..ahh I don't even have words. He's made a HUGE impact on my life, though, and I absolutely adore it.
Less than two weeks til I go to the beach!! I love the beach.
I'm off to watch Across the Universe!
Loves. Hugs. Kisses.
--L.B.

I'm really sad for David Cook tonight. I've been hearing tonight of all these crazy fans that are definitely crossing the line and it makes me want to cry. He deserves 0.00% of what he is getting from the "fans" that he is taking his time to go out of his way to come meet. Have some respect and DIGNITY, people, sheesh. I mean, the man is a person. Put yourself in his position for a second. Just for a quick second and then I'll leave you alone. How would you like for people to scream in your face when you're RIGHT THERE and how would like it if people just came up and hugged all the time without even talking to you or asking if they can hug you (exempt yourself from this one if you deal with small children on a daily basis, lol) but seriously. Ugh. These idiots are making the chances go down every time they do something retarded for people like me, who are going to shows later on in the circuit. Please, contain yourselves. You aren't a bunch of monkeys. AHHH. Be people for just a second. Wow.

Okay, I'm done(:

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Ace Young is my husband at </a></b></a>fairytale_wedBuy his CD on Tuesday!!

    BONJOUR!
    So, it's been like..ever since I've posted. I seem to start my entries off with that a lot. Oh well(:
    My hair dye faded):
    It costs $10.83 to take my friend with me to the pool, so we can't go anymore.
    I haven't lost any weight in the past week and a half.
    My shower curtain fell down.
    I'm running out of fun things to do.
    Pretty much summer is sucking a little.
    BUT! There are some positive things.
    I'm finally, officially, certainly over that boy. Like, I told him and we set it in stone and everything. We are definitely DONE. It's like a huge relief. That sounds strange, but it's true. I think not having to worry about impressing him or if he likes me or if we will ever get back together is a relief. I do wonder what it would be like to kiss him one last time, though. But doesn't everybody wonder that? Hmm. I'm a little bummed because all of my girlfriends have boys. And I'm not even exaggerating. Like every single one of my friends that are girls have boys that they are either dating or that they like. It just makes me kind of sad. Because even if I didn't have a boyfriend, it's just fun to like somebody. But there's freaking NOBODY to like. I've liked them all. Ugh.
    Exactly two months until I see David Cook in the flesh!!! I got my dress the other day. It is SO cute!! Ahh, I can't even explain it but it has pink and brown and I got it at Kohl's. It's awesome. I just need to find some shoes to wear with it. I might have a pair, but I'm not sure if those will be the best ones. We also got our bags (a long time ago) but I emailed the girl that is going to make the design that is going to go on the bags, so she should reply with that soon for me. This year's tour is going to be SO awesome!! Some people saw the Idols today in Glendale at the jobing.com arena, but the security people FREAKED on them. I hope it's not like that in Oklahoma City!
    My friend and I are going to go spend a few days at my grandmother's house next week, I think. It's going to be so nice because we'll just be able to relax for three or four whole days. We don't have to worry about putting on make up, fixing our hair, wearing cute clothes, who we're going to hang out with, what we're going to do. We'll just wake up, brush our teeth, eat breakfast, get in the pool, eat lunch, watch gameshows, eat dinner, play games, go to bed, repeat. It's gonna be amazing<3
    I've become addicted to So You Think You Can Dance. That show rocks! My favorite couples are Twitch & Kherington, Gev & Courtney, Mark & Chelsie, and Jessica & Will. I really like Thayne, too, but I don't care for Comfort. I love the lyrical/contemporary routines and the hip-hop routines. Those are my favorites. And the Viennese waltz that Twitch & Kherington did was beautiful. I liked Gev & Courtney's contemporary routine the week before last. And Mark & Chelsie's hip-hop routine this past week to "Bleeding Love" almost made me cry. It really, really did. Eee, this show rocks(:
Alrighty, I'm tired.
Goodnight<3

    Love. Hugs. Kisses.

Hiya!
So it's been a while since I've updated. I'm terribly sorry. Forgive me? Thanks(:
IT'S SUMMER!!
I already have an awesome tan.

For the past two days I've been helping out at this camp for disabled kids put on by one of the local rehabilitation centers. My little girl is 11 years old and she has cerebral palsy. She walks with a walker for the most part, but she can slowly walk short distances without the assistance of her walker. My playing basketball with her or teaching her how to play badminton or really just asking how she is and about herself makes her so happy. The way that her face lights up when she turns to smile at me after she's accomplished something that she probably thought she'd never be able to do makes it all worth it. Seeing all of these little kids having so much fun just doing simple things really makes my heart so happy. I know that sounds kind of lame, but it's so true! The camp is held at a place that doesn't have air conditioning and we're outside half of time, and down here in West Texas, the temperature is hot, the air is dry, and the wind is fierce. So while the weather might not be favorable and the hours are a little early for us teenagers, it's an awesome thing to see these less fortunate children be so happy because of something we do for them. I love it. It pretty much seals the deal on me having a very good idea of the field I want to study in college. I really want to work with children, whether it be kids with disabilities or able bodied kids, I want to work with them. I also want to become fluent in sign language. I'm a little sad though, because tomorrow is the last day of camp ):

David has been linked with Kim Caldwell for a couple weeks now. I want to be happy for Cookie but I really can't. That girl is such a (insert explicit word here). UGH. But, I want to be a nice fan, so I'm not going to freak out and bash the girl. I just hope Dave can see the light soon.

I made a DVD of all of David's performances and the group performances from the finale and ZZ Top performance and the winning moment today. I've already watched it twice, hahah! I love it!! Only like 85 days or something til my Idols Live show!! Oh my gosh. I get a little more excited for that thing every single day. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I've been requesting "Time Of My Life" on my radio station forever now and they're yet to play it. ARG. I just want to freakin here Dave on the radio! Blahh. Oh wellll.

It's J-Mac now. I'm good with that(:

Love. Kisses. Hugs.

Oh.

David Cook won American Idol!
DAVID COOK MOTHER EFFING WON AMERICAN IDOL!!!
By TWELVE MILLION votes!! He beat Archie by about %12.
Oh my gosh.
OH MY GOSH!!!
That man makes me forget to breathe..a lot. The whole time after Ryan announced that he had won until the end of the show, I breathed like..5 times. And that was like ten minutes! Hahah, okay so I breathed a little more than that, but not by much! That video of him winning definitely needs to be on youtube like..right now. I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM! I have spent about 25 of my 50 dollars that I have left on his videos on iTunes. I told myself that I wasn't going to buy any more videos because they started having 2 and 3 per week, but tonight I just freaked out and bought all of them! But I'm really happy that I have them all now(: I have such amazing bragging rights at school and to all my family and friends now. Because they totally doubted cookie and had their money on Archie, but I've loved and supported David Cook the whole entire season. And I'm not even kidding! OH MY GOSH!! This is the best season ever. EVER! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! He's my life a little bit. I cannot freaking wait for tour! If I meet him..oh sweet Jesus. I will die right there in front of him. I know I will!

I've got to go to bed. More tomorrow on this glorious man<3

Loves. Kisses. DAVID COOK!!
