Yes, I am blogging about American Idol. I’m actually writing this as I’m watching.

David Archuletta is incredibly boring as usual. His voice bores me to tears. He can sing, I admit, but it’s very “so what?” to me. Big deal. Nice looking kid can sing. It’s been done before. I hate his Melinda Doolitte habits too. The “oh shucks, am I really that good?” crap and all of that giggling and stuttering and stuff. Annoying. At least he’s stopped that annoying habit of licking his lips all the time.

Syesha also bores me. She can also sing though. I hope I don’t offend anyone by this comment, but a lot of African American women can sing well and it’s not very impressive to me. It seems to come very natural for a lot of them. People who can sing well and sound the same all the time bore me. It’s not exciting to me. It’s expected.

Okay, by now you’ve probably guessed that if I don’t care for David A. or Syesha that I must obviously be rooting for David Cook. Darn right I am! The guy sang a Duran Duran song! Granted, it wasn’t a very good performance (no one can be Simon LeBon), but I never thought I’d ever hear a Duran Duran song on American Idol ever. I keep praying for a Duran Duran night though. The other cool thing is that our birthdays are close together, oh and me and him had the same exact high chair when we were babies! How cool is that!? How many people can say that!? (Everyone who had that same teddy bear high chair I guess…) David Cook is cool, unique, surprising, and all of that good stuff an American Idol should be. I will definitely be voting for him tonight!

They are singing three songs tonight. Now I shall sit and suffer through two more songs from both David A. and Syesha while waiting to hear the real American Idol, David Cook, to sing his songs.

I was tagged by various people (Melissa, Yos, Lisa, possible others), to do that meme where you list seven weird/random things about yourself. Well, I was going to do it, but then decided not to because I already did a similar meme before where I listed six weird things about me, but now I’ve decided to give it a go. I’m not going to elaboate too much on these things since I’m pretty tired right now. I thought I needed to at least blog about something!

1. I pronounce the word “pillow” as “pellow” like pell and oh. I always have. My mom and dad tease me about it. *hugs her pellow*

2. Sometimes I really like to moan, whine, wimper, etc. especially when I am bored, frustrated, on my period, etc. It makes me feel good.

3. I love Richard Simmons. I think he’s wonderful. I actually recently bought the boxed set of the Sweatin’ to the Oldies on DVD. I will probably be blogging about Richard Simmons sometime in the near future.

4. For the first 10 or so years of my life, cheese was pretty much the only thing I would eat. I love cheese.

5. I voted for John Kerry, NOT George Bush. (And I would have voted for Al Gore if I had been old enough to vote in that election.)

6. I have a scar on my chin from busting my chin open when I was practically a baby. Whenever I get really sick and have coughing attacks, my chin itches like crazy where my scar is. It’s quite annoying. When I was younger, I would try to pick my scar off like it was a scab.

7. People frequently mess my name up. Four Ashleys work at my school, so sometimes I am “Ashley” and sometimes I am “Ashlee.” Don’t even get me started on my last name. This one kid cannot pronounce my last name. She calls me “Mrs. Muh-Ga-Gee.” It drives me insane.

So there you go. Nothing too extraordinary there. Colin left yesterday morning and will be gone until Wednesday night. He’s off at some thing in Dayton, Ohio, so it’s just me and Pouncy. Us girls are sticking together and hanging in there, but we really miss our husband/daddy.
