Glambertitis 

(glam'-ber-TI-tis) noun.

A recently discovered infection with no known cure. It is hypothesized that the infection will resolve itself over time, but the infection has not been present long enough to subject it to longitudinal study.

Symptoms include hyperfocus on any written, audio, or visual materials having to do with 2009 American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, known for his affection for glam fashion, glam music, and glitter. The infected subject is unable to change focus to, or even remember, necessary activities, which include but are not limited to homework, chores, picking up children from school, or previously scheduled events. Infected persons may also have financial difficulty due to purchasing numerous items related to Adam Lambert.

Glambertitis may also result in uncontrollable physical changes including increased heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, as well as occasional inflammation and muscle contraction. (See also myopia, selective hearing, adamgasm, kradamgasm.)

Glambertism

For some Glamberts (fans of singer/actor Adam Lambert,) “Glambertism” is *almost* in a sense, a form of religion - it’s a way of being. Key components of Glambertism are following Adam’s example of spreading light and love, being kind, supporting charities, supporting the fight to end bullying, and being active allies of the LGBTQIA community to name a few. We love and support each other and we support Adam Lambert in everything he does. We worship the ground Adam walks on. January 29th (Adam’s birthday) is our high holiday.
“Oh man, I hope my boss will understand that I need January 29th off so that I may practice my religion of Glambertism!”

“OMG she would be A LOT less mean and petty if she practised Glambertism”
