(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.)

Kayla: Wow, sounds like she's caught a serious case of Glambertitis.
