agirlnamedluna, who finished 3rd in her very first attempt at Idol, back in Season 3, after giving birth to the very first Idol Baby She finishes 4th today, with a daughter technically old enough to be an Idol contestant!! She still manages to push getting her entries in to the very last minute though. So, she's definitely consistent! ;)
We are also losingporn_this_way, who showed up in Season 8 to be a thorn in the side of everyone and cause chaos, and ended up becoming a beloved and respected contestant who is just as addicted as everyone else!
Two very different people, who are both awesome at what they do.
Thank you to both of you for coming out this mini-season and for your love of Idol. Believe me, that’s always appreciated.

Date: 2013-09-20 01:53 am (UTC)And while PTW has sort of put everything into perspective in her comment, I admit: I've come to admire her sense in cocktail bravado over the course of the season. ;-) Though she needs to learn how to mix a proper Mai Tai. (Just sayin'!)

Date: 2013-09-20 03:35 am (UTC)ALSO, I have shared many, many wonderful memories with Mai Tais that seemed to be mixed JUST FINE, thankyouverymuch. I did, however, procure Kahlua at the liquor store, per your orders. What was that "mind eraser" thing again??
*AHEM* Anyways! All boozy absurdity aside, you totally rocked last week, and many weeks before, and I wish you the best of luck in the few weeks remaining!

Date: 2013-09-20 03:46 am (UTC)The Mind Eraser: Layer equal parts Kahlua, vodka, and sprite into a small glass. (For tips on layering: http://mixthatdrink.com/how-to-pour-a-layered-cocktail/ .... don't skip the layering step, they're meant to be floated atop one another.)
Stick your little sippy straw into the bottom of the glass, where the Kahlua is waiting. Begin to drink. Do not stop for breath until the drink is gone. The Kahlua will be cloying, but it will buffer your mouth against the burn of the vodka, and then the Sprite rinses everything out.
I do hope you remembered the straws?
Pro-Tip: If you're in Northern Jersey, you can substitute Chambord for Kahlua. But Northern Jersey is a weird, weird place.

Date: 2013-09-20 03:51 am (UTC)I have all three of the Mind Eraser ingredients readily available to me, and next time I'm looking to go from sober to awesome in 0.5 seconds, I will test drive this bad boy and see what happens! Hopefully I won't find religion and end up bowing to the porcelain god by evening's end.
Some Mai Tais, I remember. Some, I do not. Some, I have this fuzzy memory of "I think I ordered a Mai Tai?" and then nothing. I have the sneaking suspicion it's that last category that's "good" :P

Date: 2013-09-20 03:55 am (UTC)"Many have tried the Mind Eraser, but none have succeeded."
"They tried and failed?"
"They tried and died."
Seriously, a ton of party casualties from these things. (Because people always try to do a second one ... never fails. Don't be a hero!) (Related note: Ever turn the tables on wedding crashers and get them so drunk on 4 ounces of liquor that they have to be carried out to the police car? Good times, good times.)

Date: 2013-09-20 04:15 am (UTC)Also, I shall not attempt to be a hero when erasing my own mind. Thank you kindly for that tip as well. WARNING, SELF: settle the fuck down, or you'll find religion. (Terrifying, that!)

Date: 2013-09-23 04:57 pm (UTC)Even if your region, your school beaurocracy, and Other Stupid People frustrate you from time-to-time, you are so very much YOU. That will never stop being awesome. \o/

Date: 2013-09-20 12:36 pm (UTC)And if there's a bright side here at all, it's that this elimination booted the last two people against whom I'd have felt badly competing. Which means I'm not going to pull any more literary punches ... and I'm either coming back with my shield, or on it.
