Life of a Glambert

Before I start, for those of you who don't know, a Glambert is what an Adam Lambert's fan is called. I guess the name comes from glam and Lambert. Why glam? Well, because Adam is our Glam God. Glamberts and Adam have one big family that we called as Glamily. The genre of Adam Lambert's songs are Glam rock. And when Adam dressed up as a vampire we called him a Glampire. So yeah it's all about glam.

Well if my definitions are not understandable, this is one from Urban Dictionary:

GLAMBERT
	The official term for a devoted fan of the glamourous sexiness that is Adam Lambert, Season 8 Runner Up for American Idol.

I have become a Glambert for a very long time. But I started to have this deep connection with Adam a few months ago, precisely the first time I heard some songs from his 2nd album, Trespassing. I don't know why, but these songs are like magic to me. They always make me feel happier when I'm down. I know this sounds ridiculous but that's the truth lol. I started looking for his interviews on Youtube and I realized that he's not only talented and good looking but he's also a very beautiful human being. No matter how tired he is or how annoying the interviewer is, he always answers the questions nicely and honestly. With him, there is NO awkward or bad interviews. By these interviews, I learned more things about him. I also watched his life documentaries, live performances (my favorites were the ones when he sang with Queen, which is pretty legendary), and I can't help to fall deeper and deeper with him. At first I keep my adoration towards him by myself but what's the point of being a Glambert if you're afraid to express yourself? So I started to tell my close friends about it.

But as glamorous as it is, I realized that being a Glambert is not always easy. It's hard at times. I  have to deal with ignorant people talking REAL BAD about him only because of his sexual orientation. What hurts me the most is not the mockery, but knowing that Adam is a very nice person and he doesn't deserve that at all. I mean, I cannot force anyone to support equality, but there's SO MUCH MORE to Adam Lambert than just who he chooses to sleep with. It's okay if you want to judge Adam. Judge his music, judge his style. Judge him as a singer NOT as the "gay guy" . His personal life is none of your business, none of OUR business. I swear that those people who talked trashy things about him don't even know him well. Have they ever seen his "It Gets Better" video or read the lyrics of his song, Aftermath? NO.
Whatever. Just like Adam said, I should only pay attention to the positives. :')

But seriously, my sorrow doesn't only stop here. Now I have to deal with another problem of being a Glambert. This time is because of my financial condition. So, last Saturday I got a news telling that Adam will visit Indonesia this December and he will perform exactly on New Year's Eve. I WAS SO HAPPY until I found out that he won't come to Jakarta, but to Bali. At that point I was still optimistic. "I can afford to go to Bali with my savings", I tell myself. BUT THEN I found out that the ticket prices are so crazy. The cheapest one is $538. This is so crazy. I'm just a regular student and I surely cannot afford that. I wanted to cry so bad. I just don't like it when I want something so bad but I can't afford to get it. I know I can't always get what I want but I know I deserve to watch Adam.

Now all I can do is just to pray for some miracles and stare at the picture above every once in a while :(

Wow this post is longer than I intended it to be. And I poured a LOT of emotions, I'm telling you. Anyway, no matter how hard being a Glambert is, I will always stand by Adam and support him till the very end. Haters will hate, if they cannot see the good in Adam, it's their loss! :D
