And our Mr. Twitter Universe is...
DAVID ARCHULETA.
*HUGS* *HUGS*
All the voting has paid off. Haha. It seemed impossible at first, but eventually he prevailed. Heee. XD Congratulations to Tom of Mcfly, Danny Gokey and Tom Felton, too. It was such a great fight. Haha. And of course, to the Phelps' twins, James and Oliver, whom I also love sooo much, and to Matt Lewis, too.

2015 UPDATE:
It’s Thursday today and I felt like reposting a proper throwback blog entry so here it is! Notice my messy writing style, if you could even call it like that haha. I even use “XD” smileys, the heck. I was young and jeje (and foolish at that. But it does look cute way back hahaha). Looking back, though, it’s amusing to see how that has changed and changed for the better, we all have. I still use haha because why not, right? Writing is all about expressing ourselves and I’ve always been giggly and it extends up to my blogs and that, I think, is just fine. Guess some things never really change then. :)
This is initially posted at the now non-existent (but to me was the best blogging platform back in the days) Multiply site and it is so cool of Blogger/Google to have that “Import” option that has made me save all of my previous blogs and have them re-posted whenever I feel like it.
Going back, here’s David Archuleta‘s Archies/Angels (fangirls) ruling all over Twitter back in 2009/2010. The Archies would not be called his go-getters and trending machines for nothing, right? But this was way before Justin Bieber (Beliebers) and One Direction (Directioners) have ever existed in the music scene. Imagine though if this poll was held at present time, David would probably not stand a chance knowing how wild and vast and competitive (especially in social media) those two fandoms are. But it has been nice to be able to show our support in our little ways and actually succeeded back then. I remember Tom and Tom bantering about who’s going to win between them and David has never urged people to actually vote for him but see, he won, and that is just great. Even back then he is so underrated but he deserved the recognition so much.
Admittedly, though, I have not really participated a lot in the trending part and my Twitter account despite having like 70,000+ tweets now (and counting) are mostly because of interacting and actually making real life friends out of these internet people from the family (because in every fandom, we just are), but I did vote for him and requested all of his singles over the radio (with my regular prepaid load because that’s how you do it back then haha. Ah the things you do for love.) to the point that most radio disc jocks of this station actually know you by name (well mostly because I use my name as my Twitter handle and I also use it to request for the songs). Who says you cannot make an honest person / great friends over the web? Meeting these people and actually get to keep them for real has got to be the best part of these fangirl-ing phase.
Today we may have mellowed a bit (comes with the age, does it?) but we still love good music, still supports David and most especially still there for each other. We may have shared more than one interest or so and the friendship go even beyond. How cool is that, right?
As long as we do not lose track of our own reality (some tends to miss the reality part and that’s when it is not healthy anymore) there’s nothing to be ashamed of; going after what’s making us happy. We are all fangirls at heart after all. Also, we should not deny ourselves of the good stuff (music) in life (surrounding ourselves with people included). x
