Drabbles, etc.

How strange, when editing the template I use for each week's performance recap, to not be taking a name out of the list! I usually wait for the recap to post the drabbles but Jacob is running very late this week. I've poked at this a lot, particularly the one for the Idol Gives Back results show, for obvious reasons. But hopefully, you will enjoy; as advertised, they're rather sentimental. Thanks to dana_kujan, whose comment about their body language on stage gave me a way into the second drabble.

• Top 6: Just Slip Me On, I'll Be Your Blanket. In which Ryan asks Simon to say it.
  
• Top 6 Results: There Is a Light Through That Window. In which Simon asks Ryan to hold on.

So I watched Ryan on Ellen (I missed Simon, woe) and the one interesting thing he said while he was avoiding Ellen trying to get him a girl (awkward!) was that Simon said he'd only go to Africa if Ryan went with him! Friends, they are so in love.

It's all about the Jerz

You know in that GnR video where they're flashing that "Where's Izzy?" sign? I kinda wanted someone to have a "Where's Richie?" sign. Well, maybe tomorrow night. Meanwhile OMG Ryan is HAWT when he pairs stubble and an open necked shirt with trousers that actually fit.

So true story: When I was at Nimbus, ali_wildgoose, aegeus and I drove over to the grocery store and on the way back this song came on the radio and I sang it at the top of my lungs, of course, because it was THE song my senior year of high school and when we got back to the hotel Ali and Aegy were just staring at me, open mouthed, and I was like, what?

( What, no Runaway? )
