Catz--so happy for everything!!!!!! It's been a long haul. :-*

BTIKM video is at 1,835,899 views already!

Mmm... I think that's the audio, not the video.

The video is past 3 million already - 3 185 357 just a minute ago.

Ha! I'm so silly. I'm so used to having the video be the top one when I search "Adam Lambert Vevo." I guess I was looking at the hundred-thousand number, which was 8.

Ummm... guise.... scared witless right now.... but last night I officially booked my VIP pass to Sonisphere.

Am totally, completely terrified by the hugeness of it all...

but FLAiLING nonetheless...

Yesterday I had THE hugest day EVAH - seriously!!!!!

Some of you know about my RL problems that my neighbours and I are having with a landslip that has been affecting our land and houses. The damage has been accelerating in recent months and has been getting quite scary (huge cracks internally, my floors are now uneven, houses and concrete driveways moving etc). We have all been on hold because the Earthquake Commission didn't pay us out enough to get the land fixed properly. Trust me - the fix needed is major. The land portion fix alone will cost around $1.5 million. Getting our six houses fixed is a seperate (and also expensive) issue.

We asked for help from our city council and the to'ing and fro'ing has been going on for the last 9 months. Yesterday Auckland Transport & the Highest Powers That Be who run this city, have just told us officially that they will contribute up to $500,000 (in addition to our EQC money) to fix our land. This is huge!!!! You cannot conceive and have no idea how ~unusual this offer is from council (they normally ignore claims like ours and run away at a 1,000 miles per hour). This means we will get our land fixed properly - and not some half assed fix option that we were having to pursue recently. This also means that our properties will be able to be put on the market at proper market value levels again.

This drama has been going on for two and a half years now and yesterday, we finally knew that we had the funds to make our homes safe again.

This is INCREDIBLE news for us... so based on that (and a (prelim) clear mammogram \o/) I personally just went FUCK IT, threw caution to the wind and booked the ticket to Sonisphere as a celebration.

Early days for me tho guys.... BUT mah ticket be booked right now! I can't believe I'mma going meet all you amazeballs Atop'ers :-*

, see Adam live again, plus see MF Queen as well - oh and travel half way around the world ~again to do it.

THREE amazing things in a row - I'se a happy little bunny right now.

Wow that is HHUUUUUUGE!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! On both counts!!

I'm soooooo happy for you!

2012 is looking like your year!!!

Awww.... thanks holst, gelly, skylar, happy, ljsmack and bamafan and whoo hoo to shadow.

I can't believe I did it

But it's also very deja vu for me too. I had all these same feelings when I finally decided (after months of humming and hahhing) to step outside of my comfort zone and travel to New York by myself, meet up with a whole bunch of ladies I'd never met before and see 4 GNT's.

I've never regretted that decision and the whole journey/experience is a highlight of my life.

I doubt Adam could conceive of how many peoples lives he has changed

ngl, seeing "Lambert, Springstein and McCartney" listed as a headline makes me a bit verklempt. Sometimes I have to remind myself it is our Adam being talked about all over the world! Queen could have picked any singer in the world and they pick him. Amazing.

Btw, something is going on with BTIKM. New spinners today and a banner for the video on iTunes for the first time. Guess we will see what happens in the next few days. In the meantime my own view is REQUEST !!!!!

Maybe, just maybe, RCA is using this Queen publicity to show PDs the advantage of getting on the bandwagon w/Adam. Shoshanna did a great job with it in UK - maybe she's sharing her playbook. Here's hoping...

Are you going through the fanclub site? I still see them listed....

adamlambertfans.com/

edit/ tried to link the exact page but won't work unless I go through the main fanclub link...maybe that's why you aren't seeing them?

Haha! What the heck - the post I was trying to quote and respond to....disappeared. I guess you found them bb.

Srly?? We're doing The Rainbow Fish discussions today??

Gah - what a horrible book. I've been given multiple copies of it too over the last couple years (yeah - koshka I own it - just keep throwing it in the basement, there's a lot of better stories out there on how not to be a jerk). The only twisted morals children's book I hate more is Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree, which in my mind is purely about enabling selfishness.

There the tree gives and gives and gives to a boy who takes and takes and takes until there is nothing left but a stump.

Even as a child I thought it was one of the most pathetic parables ever.

All I know is that Adam better not be "The Giving Tree" b/c I really want him to get some payback for all the work he's putting in.

Noble suffering for its own sake is severely overrated. :

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly get yer adverbs here!
