Idol Moments

"I didn't know you watched American Idol?" the voice said to the other.

The other answered, "Are you kidding? I've watched every episode since it began" and then went back to looking at her cellphone.

The was barely a pause. Like the phenomenon of the Idol shows themselves, Idol fans, once connected, had much to discuss.

"What are you doing? Why do you keep looking at your cell phone?" the one without the cell phone asked.

" I am reading Idoler's blog post that China is banning American Idol."

"Cool. Well,not cool about china. That kind of sucks! But cool that you can get that on your phone. I've never done that. And who is Idoler?"

The girl with the cell phone looked shocked for a moment, "Well, yeah, I can read lots of things on my cell phone. I get all the latest Idol news sent to my phone through the Idol Exclusive web site. It's totally cool, you should check it out if you are such a big fan. It is a website where you can talk to other fans, gossip, find out the latest news, all idol, all the time. "

"That's awesome. Is it free?"

The cell phone girl rolled her eyes, "Of course. You sign-up and log in. There are forums, groups to join, photos and even some videos. It is pretty new, but it cuts to the case on social networking. Rather than belonging to some large group and hoping to find people to connect with, you know everyone is there for the same reason on Idol Exclusive." And with that, she snapped her phone shut, slide it into her pockets, and began extracting herself from the conversation.

"Well, that's so cool that you like American Idol. We'll chat online about it later, but my break is over."

The other girl looked at her watch, "Me, too." And with that, the two nurses went their separate directions.

A little girl sitting nearby in the waiting room had listened to the whole conversation. Even adults like American Idol. How weird, she thought.
