Can I just say: Wow. Like, WOW.
Now that Kris is in the finals, I don't know what to think. Kris is such a contender, and I think he can really kick Adam's ass for the top spot—and that is not good. Adam should, must, has to win American Idol. It's not that Kris isn't awesome, but Adam Lambert has pretty much redefined greatness on that show, and he is totally better than Kris. I think having Danny in the finals instead would have made me less worried for Adam, but since it is Kris, it's all nerves and nail-biting at this point. But I guess that's what makes this season probably the best season ever; you just really, really don't know. And it is good that it's Kris and Adam because they both really are inventive and innovative in their own ways, and they both deserve it. BUT I WANT ADAM TO WIN SO BAD.
And I was so close to seeing David Cook today—in the flesh! D:

Passions
Beyond hobbies
Film. Whoever said that cinema was just for entertainment? It's art. I aspire to become a film director some day, and hopefully I can live the rest of my life with that as my permanent career.
Literature. I mostly read drama novels, like those from authors Jodi Picoult and Alice Sebold, but I also like some fantasy ones (i.e., Harry Potter).
Music. From Beethoven to Lady Gaga to Rage Against the Machine, music is my religion. I play the piano as well, and I'm pretty OC about sound quality. I need good earphones and a kickass sound system.
Travel. With this, I wish I could get more of it, but I savor every moment. I've been to the United States, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, and Hong Kong. I hope to tour South Africa, Egypt, and several countries in Europe.
Gender equity. Women's equality and gay rights are just long overdue, and the world has got a long way to go.
