The 21st song is your poem title.

I PRESENT TO YOU...

"I'm a Stitch Away From Making It"

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
Oh no, I just keep on falling back to the same old
You know we don't care at all
It's a taxi ride kinda night in the city
I'm your wicked Uncle Ernie, I'm glad you won't see or hear me as I fiddle about

I remember stormy weather
I'm blind with eyes wide open
Mary wore three links of chain
The beach is a place where a man can feel he's the only soul in the world that's real
Well I know just how much I love you

Every time we come to town, you know she always comes around
Just lay down, and let your worries sleep
Are you falling asleep at the wheel?
There's a thousand words that I could say, to make you come home
All your twisted thoughts free flow to everlasting memories

You always told me, if I ever want to leave
Stuck in time cause I can't decide, what to do or what to say
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
This will be an everlasting love
You're not alone, together we stand

Post these instructions in your blog along with your ten songs. Then tag ten other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Right Back to Where We Started From - Maxine Nightingale

And when I say I miss him, I mean... if he doesn't post something soon, I might lose my mind. I'm well on my way.

I TAG NO ONE, but I would enjoy people doing this if they'd like.

Right, so today, THIS HAPPENED

I can't even... how... WHAT?

That is him taking a picture of my bag. On his phone. There is a picture of my artwork on his phone.

OH

OKAY.

He also recognized me before even seeing the bag. And I DID NOT POINT OUT THE BAG TO HIM, he just saw it and that was that. I don't even remember what he said about it. I do remember him commenting on the TEXTURE. WHO. NOTICES. THAT? Obviously I did, because I was like CRAP, THIS IS GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO PAINT ON. But honestly? HONESTLY.

HE ASKED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT

Howwwwwwwwwww is my life thisssssssss.

Other things happened but I can't even........

Am I dreaming? No? Oh.

I LOVE LIFE

I have never been more thankful for my artistic abilities. Well maybe that's not true. But then again maybe it is.

We've just adopted a child :)

lifsie@hotmail.com — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 20:05:47 GMT

HELLO!!!!!!!! GUESS WHAT

IN TWO DAYS, THIS MAN

AND I, WILL BE REUNITED

So, PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR WHAT IS TO COME

The air conditioner.

Could you go a day without eating?
lolooololdgkfkjhokflg
"I haven't eaten in 24 hours!"
"*silence accompanied by the best face I have ever seen*"

Oh, but um... to actually answer this question, I have done it before, yes! O helo tour. Specifically Tulsa.

What was the reason you got grounded for last?
Never been grounded.

Do you know anyone that smokes weed?
Yes.

Have you ever kissed anyone whose name started with a C?
My mother?

Do your parents force you to go to church or let you make the decision?
I like how the first thing I thought of when I heard the word church was this:

"...the Fillmore East quickly became known as 'The Church of Rock and Roll,' with two-show concerts several nights a week."

How long does it take you to shower?
It depends. It can take quite a while to de-tangle my hair.

Is the last person you kissed older than you?
That depends. I don't even know who that would be.

What was last thing you drank?
Water.

What did you have for dinner last night?

Did anyone see you kiss that last person you kissed?
What is with all of the kissing questions!

Go after. I at least give it the old college try. But if they don't seem to care as much as I do, it's discouraging.

I don't think so!

Have you ever seen your best friend cry?
Yes'm.

Does the person you like, like you back?
Well, who wouldn't, you know?

What does the last incoming text say?
"hahaha okay grl thx!!! ur 2 sweet!" - Lawdog

So what do you want for your birthday?
Well, it's a ways away... but... typically I always just want money for shows. It's an ongoing thing. My endless quest! I'd also like a fancy camera, but you know. Oh, and tattoos. But these other things keep getting pushed aside. For obvious reasons.

What did you dream about last night?
I don't remember! I remember being really involved in SOMETHING, though. And then I was really exhausted when I had to get up.

Have you ever had your heart broken?
To some extent. But not quite.

TO NAME A FEW

Do you plan on hugging the last person you hugged again?

I got a call. I was in New York. Somebody wanted me to replace Keith Moon in a movie. Apparently he had thrown his psyche out of a hotel window and was not available. Yet another replacement gig in my long and illustrious career as a professional exhibitionist and performance artist. My current incarnation was a singer in a rock and roll band, the child of Aleister Crowley and Anita Pallenberg (it was a very difficult pregnancy).

I arrived at the location in last night's makeup and I saw her (to be more precise, the back of her). There before me in all its tantalizing glory was the greatest ass I had ever seen. Somebody said my name and she turned and looked at me over her bare left shoulder. Even though I had hardly slept in several weeks everything was suddenly crystal clear. She smiled and literally captivated and catapulted me into a dimension I had never experienced. No longer was my life about me--it was and has remained about us.

I knew of course who she was--the GTO's were legendary to any rock culture aficionado. In fact her spectacular pedigree made me love her all the more--I was the groupie, not her. She was at Altamont with Mick, the Whiskey with the Lizard King, the Garden with Page. I felt elevated to a rarefied rock and roll consciousness. All of that, however, paled when I realized that no one could be as lustful and loving, as passionate and patient, as her. She was the embodiment of everything I had ever loved about the new world of America. She was Marilyn, she was Elvis, she was a forties bathing suit; she swooned, she swayed, she was the Mary Magdalene of the Electric Church.

My pursuit was vigorous and focused, cutting through the narcotic trance established as de rigeur for a rock and roll decadent.

Then I was at the Hyatt on the Sunset Strip. She had a cowboyfriend with boots and everything. My boots had platforms and silver stars.

I had to be with her, and before long I was. I left the ol' country, I broke up the band, I flew back to LA, and this book, dear readers, describes what happened next.

Along with our miraculous son, Nick, my beloved Miss Pamela is the most important person in my life--a life that has been saved many times by her joie de vivre and joyous view of our increasingly fearful world.

This book is a fierce and honest account of this time in our lives, written by a woman whose skills are unparalleled and wisdom infinite.

My love for you, Pamela, exists in a timeless place that transcends sentimentality and regret, analysis and speculation. We are all in love with you . . . forever. - MICHAEL DES BARRES

My major was in creativity, with an A in survival.

lifsie@hotmail.com — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 01:04:09 GMT

YA'LL

I just finished reading Dandelion by Catherine James, and omg. I urge everyone out there to go get it immediately! I won't even try to write about it myself, because my thoughts are constantly in a jumbled mess. But she is one of the most inspiring, if not THE most inspiring, people I've ever read about. I can't believe I waited this long to read it. Why didn't anyone slap me??

This is the best, most thorough review I've found:

Catherine James has lived eight lives in 57 short years and her Dandelion: Memoir of a Free Spirit (St. Martin's Press) devastates with emotional sabotages that seem so outrageous that you swear you must be reading fiction. I read the advance copy in one sitting, blown away by the poignancy and ease with which Miss James shares her years of perilous plight. The abuse she suffers at the hands of her Hollywood femme fatale mother Diana reads like Mommy Dearest meets Piper Laurie’s character in the movie adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie. Chapter after chapter she is left pummeled by another emotional battering from someone close to her. Even when she’s able to finally run away from tortuous reality, which is one of her early blessings, she encounters emotional hardships that rival any I’ve read or seen in film. Only her grandmother Mimi – one of the few normal eccentrics she encounters – is courageous enough to try to shield her beloved granddaughter from harm’s way, although she ultimately loses her.

To say that she was trapped in a house ruled by a witch would be a gross understatement of the human condition. Her mother continually tortures her both physically and emotionally, whether it’s tying her to a chair or locking her in a closet to keep four-year-old Catherine in line so that Mom might socialize on the town without worry. Or not feeding her and making her swill hot sauce or dishwashing soap for punishment. Poor young Catherine is not out of harm's way until she is finally able to run away from her forever. And not until the very end of the memoir is there any contrition from Mom, as though that would suffice the years, though Ms. James emotionally detached herself from her shamelessly narcissistic and destructive mother years earlier. She continually denies her daughter’s safety in all areas of parenthood. You’d be hard pressed to find such abuses in today’s family courts.

Thankfully she is befriended by many wonderful and colorful characters along the way who help shine a brilliant light on her budding spirit, including such very famous folks as Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, and Roger Daltrey, to name but a few.

From the musically charged ’60s of Los Angeles to Andy Warhol’s Factory in New York to the swinging parties of London and back to the woodsy solitude of Connecticut, mature beyond years Ms. James crisscrosses America seeking solace in a tranquil corner.

Her unlucky-in-love character remains optimistic even when her life seems to be spiraling out of control. Time and time again you are certain the fates will finally cast a favorable light on such a courageous soul. But it is not to be.

Even as a pregnant teenager, she is able to rise above her condition and find the silver lining in a seemingly desperate situation. When Denny Laine, her son Damian’s father, once of The Moody Blues, Ginger Baker’s Airforce, and Paul McCartney’s Wings, swoops her up, you think she’s turned the corner. But the physically abusive rocker only adds more heartache and pain to the young bruised beauty’s tale.

Her supremely dysfunctional family will remain with you long after you’ve finished this book. And her triumphant spirit will make most readers take stock at how petty most of life’s seemingly unfair inequities might actually be quite trivial in comparison. Dandelion deserves to be picked from your local bookstore shelf immediately. - Dusty Wright

WERD.

And because no one can write quite like Miss Pamela can:

Dandelion tells the courageous nine-lives tale of an exquisite beauty’s great escape from a turbulent childhood, free-fall into the revolutionary rock music scene, a child raising her own child amidst chaotic upheaval. Audacious and dauntless, Catherine James maintains her sweetness and vulnerability, even when facing down her demons. From the Hollywood heyday to swinging Mod London, to the streets of Greenwich Village and back again, she takes us to shadowy and brilliant places, introduces us to ghastly and illustrious characters, sprinkling heartfelt wisdom and insight on every page. -- Pamela Des Barres

So GO GET IT, FRIENDS! You will not regret it! But if you must wait, Amazon claims that a paperback version will be coming out September 2nd. Which just so happens to be the day after a paperback version of Pamela's Take Another Little Piece of My Heart comes out, with a cover I am hopelessly in love with, and a new foreword by the always dazzling Mr. Michael Des Barres. I also just found out that on September 1st, Pamela's Let's Spend the Night Together will be out on paperback. How wonderfully this all worked out! Of course I can't quite rationalize getting Dandelion or LSTNT again in paperback form, but I will go and gawk at them in the stores. ...Piece of My Heart, on the other hand - YOU BEST BELIEVE I AM SNATCHING THAT UP. My used copy is very 80s and a bit, you know. Used. Or I guess it was the early 90s. With an 80s flair. I'm excited to have a shiny new glamorous copy. And it will be the perfect time to reread it.

In conclusion, I leave you with this. Having watched this video numerous times before actually reading the book, once I got to this chapter, there were giggle fits all over the place.

PS, isn't it great how I've gotten on this sudden LJ UPDATING kick? idk

lifsie@hotmail.com — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 05:22:24 GMT

According to a reliable source, Jason will no longer be playing drums on the Idol tour.

Now, before I continue, I just need to point out that I am trying to NOT GET FURIOUS as I type this, because I started feeling really sick a while ago and I DON'T WANT ANY PUKING. But just know... I am a lot madder than I am seeming. I am probably going to feel like I got run over by a bus when I wake up. UH OH.

So, for those of you who don't know: there was going to be a song on the tour sung by Carly with David Cook on guitar and Jason on drums. Sounds fantastic, right?! Well, apparently the Idol producers have SMASHED all dreams of this happening, because they don't want "certain contestants" getting extra time. It's unfair, and all that.

............

Okay. The song was going to count as one of Carly's, so no drama there. David Cook WON the contest, so obviously they would not mind giving him extra time. So basically, in a roundabout way, they are just saying that they don't want to let Jason have extra time.

UMM

Jason came in fourth place. TOP 4. The closer you get to winning, the more time you get on the tour. The Davids are obviously getting the most time, and then who else would need to get more time than Jason? Only Syesha. Does Syesha HONESTLY CARE if Jason is PLAYING DRUMS IN THE BACKGROUND DURING SOMEONE ELSE'S SONG? Highly unlikely.

WHAT. IS. IDOL'S. PROBLEM. When will they just ACCEPT that Jason is loved, popular, TALENTED and just MOVE ON and stop doing these things to him? THE SHOW IS OVER. I understood the manipulation during the show, because they were so set on their David/David finale. I obviously didn't enjoy it, but that's television for you. But THEY GOT THE FINALE THEY WANTED. They got their winner. Why are they still doing these things?? This is the TOUR. The tour is supposed to be FUN. Let the contestants have some fun, for heavens sake! Are they trying to squash all creativity? I don't understand. The Carly/David/Jason number would be a HUGE DRAW. I was honestly more excited for that than Jason's own songs. Just because I know how much fun he would have doing that, and I WANT TO SEE IT! Why would they not allow them to do it? Do they NOT WANT MONEY? Because that would surely help persuade people to buy tickets. Do they dislike Jason that much? They are the ones who put him in the top 24. Why bother if you're then going to treat him so poorly? I didn't want to have to be one of those "IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!!" people, but honestly. Just give the boy some respect, will you, Idol?

I know that this isn't as big of a deal as I'm making it out to be. Jason's got a whole career ahead of him and he can play the drums whenever he damn well pleases for the rest of his life. But I am just siiiiiiicccckkkk of thisssssssss. He's such a sweet person, he doesn't deserve all of this crap. I remember seeing something on Castrocopia like... well, I'll just look it up.

Castropisstivity: The act of being pissed on behalf of Jason, because he's too nice to do it himself.

THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP. I feel like it's one of those, you know... "a mother needs to protect her children" sorts of things. Although in this case, I guess it's more of a... groupie protecting her fave rave? I cannot wait to see what Michael Slezak has to say about all of this. I hope he makes a HUGE fuss. Last I heard, he was still pissed that Paula never apologized for Paulagate '08, so... I'm pretty sure he will not be pleased about THIS.

Actually, so yeah, people gathered a bunch of email addresses and websites for us to harass - I mean, ASK NICELY for the Carly/David/Jason song to be brought back. I really don't think it matters how we ask, as long as we say SOMETHING, since there's only a chance of things changing if there is an OVERWHELMING RESPONSE. I hope it's possible, but... Anyway, I'll post the list. I really only see the Fox/Idol email addresses as being helpful, though. People like Michael Slezak, Rickey, etc do not need to get notified 345657856958 times. All they can do is be mad like the rest of us. But at least they'll have a bigger audience when they do it.

askfox@fox.com
michael_slezak@ew.com
idolatry@ew.com
rickey.org
mjsbigblog.com
taylorhicksblues.blogspot.com
ryan@kiisfm.com
idolforums.com
televisionwithoutpity.com
contact@19.co.uk

I'd say the Fox email address, and I guess the last one... would be the only ones that would really do anything. But by all means, harass Ryan Seacrest all you want. And SPREAD THE WORD.

EDIT:
more email addresses~*~
dlibby@bwr-la.com
cellers@bwr-la.com

I wish I could organize some big PROTEST outside of wherever the Idol producers might be. With lots of signs. GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. Or in this case...give the peaceful drummer boy a chance.

OH!!! I've been so hung up on the drumming part that I forgot to mention that they also vetoed a Jason/Brooke duet. Apparently they wanted to sing the Jason Mraz/Colbie Caillat song. But they told him he would have to get rid of one of his other songs if he wants to do that. The person who posted about this specifically pointed out the "HE." Meaning... Brooke wouldn't have to get rid of a song? I don't know. It's all completely ridiculous.

TIME TO RAISE HELL YA'LL, GET ON IT!!!

A very wise person left a comment on Jason's myspace saying...

There are a couple of adages that are appropriate here:

1. The Customer is Always Right.
2. Give 'em what they want.

We want Jason Castro - on vocals, on drums, solo and in duets. He's final four. He's earned the attention.

Everybody write.

WERD.

Signed,
Lyzz Slaa

PS, I love how the fans are all in a tizzy over this, and what's Jason doing? On myspace, uploading pictures from his homecoming and adding silly captions. Castropisstivity, I'm telling you.
