It's 4:30 in the morning and I seriously cannot sleep! The only thing on TV at this hour are those stupid, annoying infomercials with all the overly excitable people demonstrating the amazing abilities of their product and the paid actors posing as real people singing the endless praises of the incredible smoothie maker or food preserver. I've really screwed up my sleep schedule so I can't fall asleep before 5 and can't wake up before 2 P.M. Ah, summer.

Let me start out by saying how mad/sad I am that Diana lost American Idol! I really don't like Fantasia, I think she's annoying and makes ugly, stupid, annoying expressions and hoppy dancy things when she sings. She flails her arms like a wild animal and is disturbing to watch. I just want to state that I will not support this in any way and definitely do not approve. Of course I didn't get to witness the tragic news first hand, I was too busy seeing Shrek 2 with my band friends! I was soooooo excited to finally get to see it, and it was awesome! Every bit as good as the first one. I want to see it again! Anyway, while I was at Applebee's waiting for a table that night, I couldn't help but overhear some other people talking about American Idol. These girls were also rooting for Diana. They were laughing because the judges praised Fantasia for having a "unique" voice they described as sounding like Macy Gray. Then they laughed and said that was stupid because nobody likes Macy Gray! That is so true. After that one song, Macy Gray just disappeared and no one has heard from her since! No one likes her and no one should like Fantasia either! Tsk tsk, twice American Idol has disappointed me.

I recently (as in today) discovered the wonder that is the Style Network. It's a great channel that I think I could easily become addicted to so I'd better resist the temptation. I feel like such a girly girl watching it, but I don't care. It's so sophistocated, all about expensive fashion, trendy haircuts, and modern decorating tips. I love it! Sometimes I wish I could move to a big city, have a nice apartment, trendy clothes, a fun, interesting job, and live a fast-paced, fun life working by day and partying by night. I miss New York City. I was there for a week when I was 16 and have wanted to go back and visit ever since. It's so bustling and busy. All you have to do is walk down a street in Manhattan and you're bound to see something interesting. I have to get out of the country!!! I've already decided that if I go to grad school it's going to be somewhere big and far away from home! Somewhere exciting, fun, and interesting where I could have all kinds of adventures and stories to tell everyone back home!
