the radish = Lisa, old (really old) friend of Gregory's

I just realized I don't know who Brandon is, and he probably doesn't know who I am, so here's a short AI-related intro. I just started watching 2 years ago, as part of a tv show swap with Gregory (I started watching AI, he started watching Veronica Mars -- I think he got the better part of the deal quality-wise, and I got the better part of the deal ongoing-entertainment-wise).

Loved Blake on the show, but not his stuff afterwards; loved David Cook from the time he said he was a word nerd and still think he's awesome (Gregory does not share this view). I generally like the more rock/blues style singers (real musicians I like include Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, The Police in their punk phase; I also like musicals). I particularly hated the country girl from last year who lasted way too long (although to be fair, I hated her the moment she said she sold her favorite horse to go to the audition, the bitch).

So that's where my IdolSnarkitude comes from. I'd love to read everyone else's self-descriptions if you feel like it.
