1. Wayne Brady
2. Gordon Ramsay (I told you how he told me to behave, right?)
3. Judd Nelson in 1985…but not in 1985 because I was four, so he’d have to time travel to now, and if we’re time traveling then I for sure have to include ~
4. Michael Schoeffling circa 1984, but also time traveling to today. That is Jake Ryan m*therfuckers. (Isn’t it weird how I’ll randomly censor myself on my own site? I wonder what’s up with that.)
5. Christian Slater both circa 1989 (again, time travel) and kind of a little today, since he’s gotten through the awkward, over botox’d really surprised part of aging and is moving into the Scott Bakula realm ~ which rowr.
You know what list I’m making, right? THE LIST. THE LAMINATED LIST. The list Scott is all alarmed that I’m posting on the internet, but I have to turn 30 tomorrow and he doesn’t so I’ll do what I want.
{No no, I know – thirty is awesome and it’s going to be the best thing that ever happened to me and tomorrow I have big plans to be all rah-rah I finally know myself, but today I’m just clinging to 29 and sobbing for like three more hours.}
BUT ANYWAY. Remember how I went to the American Idol Finale and After Party Courtesy of Ford? (Who has two thumbs and is the smoothest discloser ever?! This girl!) Well, that totally happened. And it was pretty amazing, I gotta say. I mean, Gaga, Bono, Beyonce (like, WOW), J.Lo (like, WOWOWOW) and holy fuck Stephen Tyler performing about 17 seconds of Dream On…it was some of the most brilliant 17 seconds I’ve ever experienced (and he’s not even on the list! too nose-jobby.)
That’s me with Ace Young (Idol Season 5) Elisa, my date for the evening is excellent at founding inspiring, life altering web 2.0 companies, but not so much good with the iPhone photography. (You can read her in depth account with more photos HERE.)
I’d have to say my favorite bit of the evening was that it was clearly a show made for TV and not theater – I loved how they’d cut to commercial and Lady Gaga would trot down from the rock tower (WTF, btw) wave giddily at the audience, and run off stage, or J.Lo and Marc Anthony would give each other a little squeeze that changed my judgy-judgment of their whole relationship. AND I SWEAR SCOTTY AND LAUREN TOTALLY KISSED WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED HIS WIN.
Octavio, Stephanie, Crystal, and Debra with Ford ~ I can’t thank you enough for this insane night. My ears are still ringing (although…possibly with steam from when the m*therfucking security took my cell phone after I snuck it in then foolishly held it up to snag this photo. I’ve never been so upset I couldn’t be live tweeting. You guys are all probably silently thanking the Nokia security. Whatever, Jerks.)
Any questions?
