OMG...I was right!

I couldn't seem to get online with the blogger world last night to post this but I just wanted to get in a short one today anyway to say....YAY! JD ROCKS!

For those of you that know me, you may be aware that I have been no less than obsessed this summer with the show that is Rockstar: INXS. I've blogged about it a couple times but thought that since I am trying to keep my weirdness quotient at a reasonably socially acceptable level, that I shouldn't mention it all that often.

Well, over the past few weeks the competition had been slimmed down until only three remained: Marty, MiG and JD. And last night was the finale..the night when the remaining members of INXS would announce their choice of who "would be right for our band, INXS".

So there I was, waiting impatiently throughout the entire hour, spending each annoying long commercial break reasoning with myself and Adam that it would be completely 0kay if JD didn't win because he has come so far blah blah blah. Of course that would all change as soon as the show would come back on and I would be thinking that JD *has* to win!

And you know what? He did! Yup, Oakville/New Glasgow boy makes good and I just couldn't be happier! My coworkers made fun of my perma-grin when I came into the office this morning but I don't care...this is good stuff!

But alas, last night marked the end of the summer-long INXS journey so now I can go back to just being plain wierd..lol. As my ever-tolerant husband Adam says, now I'll have to go in search of something else to obsess over for the next few months. Oh wait, tonight is the season premiere of Lost, isn't it? Ahhh..my next victim..;)
