I heard it through the grapevine.

-I've gotten my college search down from the original eight to four: University of Oregon, University of Nebraska, Kansas State, and (my current top pick) Boise State. But now the problem is that I am NO IDEA how I'm going to choose where to go next. They're all within $2000 cost from each other. What if I choose the wrong one and I end up hating it? What if I move some place and I can't make any friends and I am totally lost? What if the program ends up being bad? What if none of my credits will transfer. This is just... far too stressful. Then, to add to all that, Mark is almost definitely going to either Ball State or Indiana and that's just... I can't do that. And he can't do that either. And it's just going to end up hurting a lot. Please just make all this go away. 

-Speaking of boys, I got the joy of working with Calvin again today. And he had the gall to ask if I were single. I wanted to kill him. Not because I still have feelings for him, but because he just annoys the crap out of me. Also. Remember Reyan? The only boy I've ever claimed to be in love with, he has a girlfriend now and they are totally lovey-dovey all over Facebook. On the one hand, I am very, very happy for him because he deserves to have an awesome girl. On the other hand, I'll always love him, so it still hurts a little. (Plus there's the fact that my brother is thoroughly convinced that Reyan and I are going to get married. Which, just, ugh, it's sweet, I guess, but I've almost moved on and Dustin doesn't help.)

-Let me explain my new addiction to you: House Hunters. My roommate got me hooked on it one day and there's been no going back. Thankfully for me, there are about a billion episodes and about half the shows on HGTV are House Hunters. It's really bad. But it kind of allows me to escape for a little while. I mean, most of those people on the show have more money than I will ever have (because I have this thing where I fall for the kind of guys who will never make money: musicians, artists, journalists, etc., and I am going to be a journalist myself and we all make basically nothing), so it's kind of depressing, but  a nice fantasy at the same time. 

-Finally, I need to flail about American Idol a little bit right now. I came into this season without high expectations. But I have been pleasantly surprised. Although my favorites were eliminated in the Top 24, I feel really, really attached to the people who are still around, especially, it seems, Casey and Stefano. Tonight, I swear i was going to die. I literally busted out into tears because of this: Link to YouTube because LJ hates me and won't properly embed.

I swear I haven't cried because of American Idol since Kris and Adam and the head kisses and the nailpainting. But this. This. Just, Jesus. Casey's reaction is so heartwrenching and sincere. I didn't even mean to cry. It just happened. I am so happy he is saved. And so happy that he'll be on tour.

And then, of course, this happened:

Stefano and James. Although I'm not the biggest fan of James, these two are absolutely adorable together - they have the best bromance, seriously. There's another adorable gif of them here and also "wrestling" here.

But also. Not to totally fail at fangirling (because nothing will ever, ever top Kradam), but doesn't the above gif kind of remind you of this? I mean, there's even the same height difference. Haha. 

The tl;dr of the above section? Danny loves American Idol. <3
