My Vote Doesn't Count: Teen Choice Awards

I've come to the harsh reality that as of tomorrow when I turn 25, my opinion no longer counts for such competitions as Choice Hottie. It is a sad, sad day. I'm not going to lie, up to a couple of years ago I was logging on the Teen Choice Awards website to vote making myself eligible . As pathetic as that sounds (which it is and I regret sharing that with the world-wide web), tonight is a worse situation: I am boycotting the award ceremony and feeling horrible about it as I type.

Why this all of a sudden sense of being an adult, you ask? Because I think it's about time. I'll be straight out, I love watching iCarly and ABC Family (Pretty Little Liars is my summer fave), but I don't have to actually participate in the communtiy.That's lame and sad.  I can remain a fan and still watch those shows, but learn my limits and not participate (less lame and sad, a closeted tween).

I learned this the hard way on may occasions during the past year. First occasion (on going occasion), a tween I attend church with knows I too enjoy the Jonas Brothers. Short coming of that occasion, the stares I get from my peer group, the adults. Second occasion, during my practicum as I was giving an assessment to a 8th grader the subject of New Moon came up. The 8th grader and I shared our plans about seeing the movie. Helllloooo? Wasn't I suppose to be doing something like I don't know, work.

Not get me wrong, it's great to connect to kids and know what they are listening to and build rapport but when does it turn into you're too old to be liking what I like? It reminds me of that Knocked Up scene, where Leslie Mann and Katherine Heigl are trying to get into the club and Craig Robinson calls them out. I don't want to be Leslie Mann crying on a curb in a couple of years. That's sad. I don't want to end up being that mom. You know, that mom.

Excuse the cursing :(

Anyways, maybe this is just a cry out for the loss of my youth. But I'll read about who wins tomorrow on MSN anyways :)

 

Oh to be Gleeful again!

 

After at least four months, Glee returned to tv last night and all was good in the world between the hours of 9:28pm and 10:28pm. All though some parts had you questioning, for instance, why is there a piano in a library? Other parts had you seriously peeing in your pants of laughter, i.e. Brittany: " You know that dolphins are just gay sharks, right?" (I literally died of laughter, please continue to right that girl lines, she delivers each time!)

I totally enjoyed the return of Glee however, some of the musical numbers last night were a bit bland. Maybe it's because next week is the big daddy of them all episode devoted to Madonna. Today, Sue Sylvester's version of Vogue was full on circa on the net. It was so-so for me, it only got funny towards the end. I'm not really looking forward to the Madonna episode like everyone else is, what would be uber bingo is if they actually had Madonna on the show. I personally would rather see the original Material Girl then Lady Gaga as she is in talks to have her own tribute show as well.

Other great moments of the show last night was of course Idina Menzel who is Broadway royalty and that other dude from Spring Awakening. Sorry I'm not a-ga-ga over Spring Awakening, sue me. I do hope that they let Idina sing, they make Mr. Schuster sing all the time for Pete's sake!

Oh well on all seriousness and gratitude, Glee we welcome you back into our homes. What did you think of last nights episode?  Did you vogue? Did you know that dolphins are just closeted sharks as well? It would be great if someone could share if they ever seen a piano in a library before?

What I watched on Tv last night

No. Are you calling me a liar? Didn't I tell you I was officially done with it? So why second guess me. I am done. But its hard to go around functioning in life without hearing about it. Ryan Seacrest tweets about it non stop. By the way, he had chicken for dinner before the live show.

Although I am not watching it, I can still put my two cents into it. I just have one question and its my question I have had for a long time ever since it was announced. Why is Ellen Degeneres a judge on American Idol? No, seriously why? I'm a little bit peeved because allegedly, I say allegedly because I'm not watching and my proof of reference is from a tweet (funny how tweets are reliable sources nowadays). Ellen said that a contestant could not sing and they should be on Glee.

There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't even know where I should begin. First, don't knock the only good show that FOX has going for them now Ellen, because the clock is ticking on Idol. Second, do you watch Glee? I LOVE GLEE but that's beside the point. No it is my point. Glee is a hundred times better than American Idol and its a scripted show. A real television show. I am over "real people" trying to win the heart of America. I rather just have Rachel Berry annoy the heck out of me and root for her because she's the underdog and you root for the underdog. I want go back to connecting with characters again instead of connecting with people who are trying to be characters. (Another post in the making).

Back to Ellen, isn't your main job a television host where you interview people. I think it would be awkward for a cast member of Glee to be on your show now, don't you? Oh yeah, you told someone they couldn't sing, and that they should be on our show.... awkward.

Glee is awesome, Idol sucks and Ellen should stick to her tv show. I can't have too many people on too many shows. I should only see you once during the week, on one show. Are you listening Seacrest?

Don't think the cast of Glee can sing? Check out this video from the World Series where they sang live!  Not every winner or blurb on our radar (contestant) on American Idol can say that. Can they?
