wear me like a locket around your throat

omg my HEART. *clutches*

btw josiah_leming

josiah on access hollywood; it's a really nice piece. ♥

here's him performing "one last song" and "to run" in the AH studio.

he also was on extra but it's not on youtube yet - he got a little makeover and a haircut at frederic fekkai and flirted with simon's girlfriend, hee. it was supercute. and i THOUGHT he looked like he'd gotten a good haircut!

also, here is a really nice video of jason castro singing at some churchy kind of thing. he's lovely.

GUYS IT'S SUNNY OUT!! this makes me happyyyyyyyy. it was also snowing a minute ago, wtf, but SUNSHINE! \o/ *sobs with relief*

taylor kitsch is playing gambit in the wolverine origin movies! \o/ i know next-to-nothing about any of this shit, but i hear he has a hot accent, and anything that involves taylor being all ginormous on a movie screen and getting more famous is A++++++ in my book. (also, i don't care about twilight very much at all, but i always pictured taylor as edward. kitsch >>>> pattinson, sry2say.)

clip of josiah bb on ellen! it's not the whole segment; i'll post the full thing once it's on youtube, but this does have a bit of the interview and his performance. he did an amazing job. ♥

IDOL starts tonight for realsies, y'all! team jason castro and/or colton! (i am determined to vote for my favorite unpimped boy tonight!)

josiah bb! \o/

from the chick who correctly spoiled the top 24 and is therefore probably legit:

I just talked to Josiah. He is SO EXCITED!! The Ellen show called him this morning and said the first thing that Ellen said when she walked into work today was "Get Josiah on the Show" She adored him and is pissed he was cut. He's being flown out on Sunday and will tape on Monday. He gets to sing a original song. He thinks he is going to sing "One last song".

The excitement in his voice made my heart so happy. I'm so happy for him.

I think the episode will air on Tues, but am not sure about that. He will let us know as soon as it airs.

squee! oh, i'm so happy for him!

also, here he is on vote for the worst radio. i haven't listened yet, but my (admittedly biased and fangirly) friend said he's adorable on it.

EDIT: ok, i'm listening now and he IS adorable. ♥ he sings coldplay and is silly and awkward and just aw!

"you gotta look back and look for the bright side rather than sitting at home drinkin' every night and going 'shit, i didn't make it'."

"i was NOT gonna be another guy singing bryan adams."

"i'm an avid fan of short girls...tall girls intimidate me." (he's 5'4" and a half, aw.)

"LOVE regina spektor." *swoon*

guys hit on him via myspace; it's not his thing but he's totally fine with it.

"i wasn't trying to play games - all the girls i flirted with knew about the other ones." lol.

pimps little david.

awww, he talks about his mom towards the end. :( ♥

re idol screentime: "i'm really not THAT emotionally distraught...my cry ratio is not 5 tons/2 hours on a constant basis, i promise that."

he was excited when his thread got started on VFTW, lol.

with as much drama as they've made of my bb josiah on american idol, i'm surprised they haven't mentioned any of this.

that's a link to his mother's blog; here's the introduction.

Hello! Welcome to my web site.

I was diagnosed with ovarian leiomyosarcoma in October 2000 at the age of 33. Since that time, I have undergone 16 surgeries, 40+ radiation treatments, and 6 cycles of chemotherapy.

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that originates in the soft muscles of the body. It affects four people out of a million. Presently, there is no cure.

This is the story of my journey as a cancer patient.

here's part of an entry from december. andrew is one of josiah's brothers, obviously. there are 9 kids.

Following one of Andrew's angry outbursts (accusing me of being lazy rather than sick and of causing all of his current difficulties), Josiah tried to help the situation by having a talk with him downstairs in the den. He reminded Andrew that I have a terminal illness and we really don't know how long I have left, and that he (Andrew) should be helping promote harmony in the family rather than strife so that I can have some peace.

i'd heard about this, but i wasn't positive that it was true until now. it just breaks my heart. i know there are thousands, millions of people dealing with cancer every day. hell, it killed my father. josiah and his family are a drop in the bucket. but it just makes me sad for him. no wonder he always seems so fragile. he probably is.
