I admit it. I'm a hijacker. At least they can't stick me in GitMo, anymore.

Rather than write an original post of my own today, I'm going to share some comments I've made on other blogs. I have a horrible tendency to make comments that should really be posts. Today, they are.

This was on Ashley's blog, and she mentioned American Idol.

I am still so undecided on this season of AI. Maybe it's because I know
Adam's a musical theater major, but EVERY performance of his feels like a
Broadway song. An *incredible* song, but still too much for me. I want
Allison to do better, and Kris. We'll see. I just don't know who I want to
win, or think WILL win. Probably Adam.

Additional thoughts I've shared elsewhere: Maybe it's horribly stereotypical of me, but I just can't see a gay guy as a huge rock star. Is that even the genre he would go with? I think Kris' and Allison's styles are more popular right now, but they need to step up their games. With the right songs, they could be really great. Danny's got a great voice, but what genre would he do professionally?
This was on Angelica's blog, who was saying that she was DONE bundling up, and refused to wear a coat again this season.
My children are bundled up, playing out in the sunshiney-SNOW right now. I even had to break out the box with gloves in it. I had put that box away a month ago. We built snowmen that they are currently attacking with ice-scrapers. And pushing over. All my hard work, down the drain.

I'm a firm believer in the jacket. Even in winter, I rarely wear more than my favorite jacket. Good luck with the drippiness of your nose.
This next one was on Tammy's blog, who mentioned that she and her husband were both Scorpios and she wasnt' sure if that was such a good idea.
Just last week, Superman and I were killing time at Barnes & Noble, waiting for a movie to start. I picked up a bargain book on astrology. Everything thing they said about Libras was true for me. Something I've never realized that is common for a lot of Libras -- seeing both sides of an issue. I can still feel strongly one way, but when "discussing" an issue, I feel the need to make the other person see BOTH sides. Then I usually go on to agree with them, because keeping the peace is also part of being a Libra. Even if I don't necessarily agree with them. I find a small point I agree with and leave it there.

Alright, that probably should've been a post. Sorry. :o)

But I was reading about the signs in relationships. Interesting and true things about Superman and I and our respective signs, and I read a little bit about scorpio/scorpio relationships. Passionate and intense are adequate adjectives. :o)
This last one is from Sher's blog. She talked about what she would do if her spouse died, then almost died herself.
First of all, I got a good chuckle out of you realizing what your dying utterance could have been. (She had sworn when she realized a car was about to hit her.)

Secondly, as one who's husband thinks he's going to die young, I've given far too much thought to remarrying. My fear is that no worthy man would want to marry me, knowing he couldn't be sealed to me.

{ahem}

And now we're moving on! I'm gonna spend some more time with my kids today. Thanks, Sherrie baby.

And with that, I'm done, folks. I AM going to spend some much-needed time with my kids today. And with my house. They've all be neglected as I was a hermit who just read books and blogs for the last two days.

p.s. Anyone else ever feel like their comments should be posts? I have a serious issue with keeping my comments brief. Hijackers Anonymous, anyone?

I love this idea. I know some of my best material is in response to someone else's fabulous ideas. I might have to copy you at some point.

i always like your comments. they add to the post and give other people food for thought.

Sarah said...

I love your comments, too. Sometimes I go a little too far, and sometimes they're just one word. This one will be going too far...so... I don't like Adam on AI at all. I'm not into the musical theater rocker wannabe. Just not my thing!! Kris and Matt are my two faves. Last night was a close one for Matt. I don't think he'll make it much longer. Danny's good, but I don't think he's much of a performer...just a singer! Like Angelica, I'm done with the cold, too...but apparently it's not done with me!

Erin said...

Sometimes my wittiest moments are comments on other people's blogs. Great idea for a post!

Emily said...

I don't mind when people leave big comments on my blog. It makes me feel like they are interested in the subject, so I actually like it.

I really like Adam. And so does my ultra conservative dad. My dad watched "Play that Funky Music" on his DVR at least 50 times. But I also really like Allison and Kris. I'd be most likely to buy Kris's album.

Often as I'm leaving comments I realize that I what I just said should've been a post of it's own.

Have fun with your kids!

megs said...

hey! found your blog through shellie's and i love it!!

ai... hum, i've only watched a few weeks but i totally want that one guy to win.. the guy who looks like a normal guy. not the one with a wart in the middle of his forhead and was almost eliminated last night... the other guy who looks totally normal and also looks like someone i would hang around with.

you know the one, right? :)

ha ha!!

anyways! love the blog!!!

SO said...

I love your comments! Often I want to say more when I comment than I do but I don't because I fear that I will go too long and not make any sense.

At least you make sense.

I love your comments...I sometimes think my comments are generic...I think you are genuine and sweet.

Could not agree more about Adam Lambert. I respect his talent but I don't buy the act AT ALL. I'm still in the Danny Gokey corner although choosing something with a harp arrangement isn't the greatest way to sound current.

Rachelle said...

great idea you brilliant thing you!!!! loved your post, as usual...LOL! :)

Ashley said...

I love leaving long comments, and I love people who make long comments on my blog too! I love all comments, for sure, but the "Great pictures, looks like fun" and that's all the comment says aren't NEARLY as fun or interesting as the long ones! I do know what you mean about Adam, he's very theatrical and sometimes a little TOO out-there, but I still love him and have thought he's the most interesting. I really like Kris and Allison too!

Mother Goose said...

i leave long comments too. But, not this time. I promise!

Nice idea for a blog post. (I totally get what you wrote about AI and have wondered the same things).

My comments tend to be short to medium with only an occasional hijacking.
