"she works hard for the money", "feel my love", and "once" all great covers. someday down the line i might even buy his music. i like people singing simply along with guitars. He seems like a really nice guy and the kind of christian who is not a homophobe and will be part of the way that younger generations will not stand in the way of equal rights for queers. <br /><br />BUT HE DOES NOT HOLD A CANDLE TO ADAM LAMBERT! he knows it and said it right away after he won. <br /><br />i have not always watched american idol. only the last couple of years. and things changed this season for me personally cuz now i have a dvr. but the last 3 months have been better on tuesday nights when i could come home from work (which has been really hard thru the winter due to the sloooowwwwwness) and take in the amazing performances that adam has put out there. <br /><br />not only has he covered some of my favorite songs of all time - "feeling good", "whole lotta love", "ring of fire" - all in like my top 15 of all songs ever in the history of time. but also moved me with "mad world", "tracks of my tears", "black and white". and the duet with allison was ridiculous amazing. i was not super crazy about the show version of "one" but the itunes version is superb. <br /><br />and then on the finale show, umm hello singing with kiss???!?!? and QUEEN!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?? WTF - INCREDIBLE. please please please please please please please go on tour with queen so i can pay hundreds of dollars and do whatever i can to be as close to stage as possible.<br /><br />just go on tour so i can see you live. i know swifty will be by my side. and record amazing albums soon so i can buy them.<br /><br />i have been captivated by his performances. the sneer, the fashion (omg the white suit against the pink staircase, the leather, the eyeliner - specifically the glittery look during the kiss performance and don't get me started on the crazy amazing shoulder cages), even the kinda annoying tongue. the man has mad vocal skills.<br /><br />please may he come out soon in a vocal way. i mean we all know he's gay. i don't even think he is really hiding it, just not engaging in the speculation. we need a freddy mercury for a new generation. go on ellen and do it. <br />do your part to move queer rights forward, it will not hurt your career in any way. you have a looooonnnngggg future ahead. <br /><br />and i am a fan for life.<br />i will miss seeing you every week.<br />yours truly.<br />mims urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:mitz11218:33066 2008-12-06T15:20:44Z 2008-12-06T15:20:44Z so last nite at my job we were closed for a private holiday party. for nintendo. i always love these things cuz they are easy, a change from my usual routine and profitable. before thanksgiving a group of 6 people from nintendo came by to sample food and cocktails and i waited on them and they were super nice. <br /><br />so last nite at the end of the party i was talking to one of the guys who had come in to suss us out. they were super happy with the whole event and i was joking with him that i did not see any wii's around for me to have. that's when he gave me his email address and said he would get me one for free!!!<br /><br />whoo hoo. <br /><br />part of me is tempted to sell in on ebay, but i think i will keep it.<br /><br />by the way, tonite forge is doing a celebration of the repeal of prohibition (75 th anniversary) and you could come by and get a french 75 cocktail at the bar FOR 25 CENTS!!!! and you could say hello to me. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:mitz11218:32805 2008-10-28T18:35:49Z 2008-10-28T18:35:49Z i don't have time to fill out my mich app right now! <br />i have to go to work.<br />assure me that 10 to 12 hours won't make a difference.<br /><br />also, i have a sore throat.<br /><br />xoxo<br />miriam. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:mitz11218:32450 2008-10-06T16:37:37Z 2008-10-06T16:37:37Z so saturday nite gilly and i are heading out to see mary louise parker. i'm on the phone with my brother, who is meeting us there, as i get in the car. i hang up as i have started to drive...<br /><br />cut to us getting there and poof no phone. not anywhere. we did not get out of the car. we both tore it apart that nite and the next day.

Not publicly, privately, or under friends-lock.<br /><br /><br />Why? Because the new owners of LJ said they were going to listen to a user driven advisory board before making any changes, and didn't. They instead tried to take away all GLBT related interest groups, and were about to take away all free, ad free accounts as well and make LJ paid. Basic/free users help drive this site! And paid or not, our interests should not be dictated to us.<br /><br />This is a protest that will have long-lasting effects, showing up forever in the daily posting statistics.<br /><br />This is a protest that will not harm LJ in the long run, as leaving LJ might do.<br /><br />This is a protest that will demonstrate the power of community, as all users unite to support Basic users and the concept of ad-free space.<br /><br />This is a protest that will educate the new owners that LJ is driven by user-created content.<br /><br />Content Strike Friday March 21, from midnight to midnight GMT<br /><br />* We are holding the Content Strike because we want to demonstrate that LiveJournal is content-driven.<br />* We are holding the Content Strike because we want the new owners of LiveJournal to better understand the power and resolve of the LJ Community of Users.<br />* We are holding the Content Strike because all of us, Paid, Permanent and Plus users as well as Basic, want to demonstrate our solidarity as a Community of Users. We do not consider Basic users to be freeloaders, we consider them to be valuable content-providers and Friends.<br />* We are holding the Content Strike because we ache to do something to show our displeasure, and commenting on the news post -- even with cat macros -- just isn't powerful enough!<br /><br />---------------------------------------<br /><br />The strike has three terms:<br /><br />1. Restore basic accounts for new account creation.<br />2. Inform users before any change to the site that affects how we use the site or demands on our resources.<br />3.
