Sorry for the post-whorring.... I know you're right, and I really do want him to have a private life, without the intrusion of the media or fans. And yet, I can't help feeling curious. I know, I know...curiosity killed the cat. *sigh* Life can be so hard sometimes. This, I'll totally agree with. I'm not wishing for picture because I need to see him with a woman -- as I said earlier, I'm just curious. I'm hoping that I DO know where that enthusiastic/intrusive line is; if I don't, I have plenty of friends (including y'all here) that will tell me, I'm sure.

OK, my head is from all the permutations of shipping. I can totally get into the Clyra, though -- even without muski's help. And, intrusive though it could be, I hope someone was able to do this: I thought the OTT Claymate skit was fun-nee....because to me it seemed so TRUE, if that makes any sense. muski, I love hearing about your daughter's successes on the sports field. Woohoo!

On the cousin thing -- yeah, I agree with you. Cousin = family to me, by marriage or not. And I'd forgotten that she was married, which makes her even more off limits to me. Yeah, I think it's probably none of the ladies mentioned too, and I would dearly love for him to have a relationship with a person that can be kept out of the fan's radar. At the same time, though -- I also think that "hiding in plain sight" is something that Clay could probably pull off. So, I'm really torn on this one. But then, I always just say -- as long has he's happy, I don't care. Compare this picture: with this gif from the AI4 show (if it's working, let me know if it's not...): I do think that's Mary. And it scares me a bit that I can identify her. I know the people around Clay better than some of my own family!

I thought so too. So....why doesn't SHE get shipped with Clay? I've always thought it would be funny if Clay and Mary were an item, just because she seems to be the one person in the "inner circle" who HASN'T been linked to Clay romantically. BWAH!

3 more episodes, dear couchie. I'm personally waiting for Locke to appear again. I know many people don't like him, but I do.

I'm glad Cha Cha's caught up, hope they don't get behind again with this engine cleaning thing. The airlift thing looks really cool, though -- I'm glad someone did that one. That looked like the best roller coaster ride EVAH! Yes, the Air Force is picky about the cleanliness. *g* That was a cool roadblock too. I'm not sure how I'd do with the GPS, but the rest of it looked really cool. Oh poor Danielle. I have no pity for her. She's always quitting -- reminds me of Flo! AAAGH! Charla's not doing much better, but she's not as whiny. The BQ's did a great leg of the race! And meanwhile...I'm sad for my Cha Cha's. They were doing so well for so long, and then these last few legs were just brutal for them. It seems like they just lost their will. I still hate Eric and Danielle. With a passion.

Karen Eh?, you are me. I could see the diss, kinda went "oooo," and then laughed. But then, what did I do? I clicked the link closed and went on my merry way. Frequently, even when I see something as a major diss, I just simply ignore. Maybe I'm burying my head in the sand, but it seems that people frequently want people to make a big deal out of what they've written. Ignoring it sometimes gives them a signal that they may not be saying something nice. I guess, for me, it all boils down to my feeling that some fans (not all) feel that every single person in the world must LOVE Clay Aiken. OK, I'm sure it's not that way for most...but it feels like it.

Where's my Lost people? Did everyone watch IGB and forget to tape Lost? I'm usually having to skip this thread for a few days, because I don't get to see the show live most of the time. This week I'm the first one here?!?!?!?! Sun's story made me tear up. I'm actually quite glad that Jin was declared the father. OTOH -- I'm still not sure how much I can trust Juliet. Would she have lied to Sun? The flashback story, though -- actually quite meh for me, although I'm sad that Jin's father didn't even get to go to his son's wedding. As for the other story -- well, it was strange seeing Russian dude again, and I'd love to know how he came back to life. (That island has some strange powers -- but regular viewers knew that, right?). I liked Desmond and Charlie's little exchange about how many Others have killed vs. the regular island people have killed. Finally -- that finale?!?!? Oh man, talk about all hope being lost -- or is it?!?!? Tune in next week!

Thanks bottle -- and I agree with you wholeheartedly, now that I understand the reasoning. :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Actually, he was linked to getclayaiken.com, because of some bitchy post I made about too much mothering. Heh. How embarrassing though. Hee. Now I'm really confused. OK, so this guy posts his blog, with the picture from the AMA's with Clay and Tori, with the comment he did. People got pissed (not around here) and started posting crap on the comments section. I understand all that (well, I understand the timeframe of the chain of events; people's reactions, not so much -- I don't venture out much either YSRN). But -- then did someone link to some of the Clayland boards, such as getclayaiken and FCA and CV? Or the blogger did it himself? Why? I'm so confuzzled. KTLA Clay -- wow. Had almost forgotten about him. He was fantastic that day, and looked so damn handsome. That WAS an incredibly sexy day -- he was smart, he was self-depricating, he was funny. The AMA appearance was almost as good; I thought his hair was bee-you-tea-ful, and his ability to make fun of his then-current situation made it almost perfect. Rewatched the David Foster gala performances this morning. I did a doubletake -- because the hair that night was practically the same hair we had for ET and the Today show, IMO. To me, it's really just shorter than we got used to during the holidays. Heh. And man, could that guy sing. That "need" that David Foster spoke so highly of is killer.

BWAH! Me too CG, me too! Asking a favor -- please. Could someone (who's not an admin!) go over to the new FCA webpage (located here) and then click on the "Clay articles" link? I've got 5 articles listed so far, and I want to make sure everyone can see them, etc. Only 4 have links -- the fifth I need to get a scan of first (and if anyone has scans of some of the early magazines, such as Elle or Time), please contact me. That would help me a great deal. Totally's little statement here made me think of a possible topic for discussion here -- when is Clay sexiest to YOU? I'll go first. Honestly -- it's not when he's singing at all. It's not when he's giving an eye***k, it's not when he's showing orgasm face. For me, it's when he's making me laugh. I don't know exactly what it is for me, but when he's doing banter at a show, and he starts talking, and then he jokes about something -- I get all tingly. Wait, I DO know -- it's because it shows to me that the man has a BRAIN. He's a quick thinker, and I love that in a man. So....anyone else? Oh, and pictures are not required for your own personal "sexy meter" -- but hey! If you want.... Here's an example of "sexy" for me: And another: Another: And one more: Love that man....

pssst don't worry...y'all can get on the good side of the other admins...hee chug chug chug!!! Especially if there's a way to get couchie to Houston as well! :trink3: :bier:

Amen and hallelujah and pass the booze! Heck No! It won't take 'em 71/2 -8 hours to get to Tulsa. You'll be fine. *dons diamond encrusted helmet* Cool! I'm ready to go! VAROOM VAROOM!!!! Wasn't that the concert where Clay gave a young girl a sweet kiss on the cheek? And yes, the fandom is NOTHING BUT enablers. All you have to do is THINK about going to another concert. Somehow, people then read your mind and offer you space in their hotel room, a ride in their rental car, and oh, BTW, a spare ticket to the show. All we need is transporter technology in order to keep transportation cheap. I think my mind is still boggled that y'all have REAL names. *g* I'm sitting at the reference desk today, trying to keep from crying from laughter. It's not working, and people now think I'm one crazy librarian. At least the seams in my stockings are straight, and the bun in my hair hasn't fallen out yet. *g*

Hmmmm....I'm thinking of spending 7 1/2 - 8 hours in a car with the eHP to get to the Tulsa show. Should I be worried? :Tour3: :Tour3: :TourExcite: :TourExcite: BTW, CG, thank you for not understanding, because I didn't either. And merrrieeee -- :F_05BL17blowkiss:

After the events of the past 24 hours, I'd say that FCA members know how to pick the perfect thread title at just the right time. Clay -- thank you for being you. couchie, your posts are so sensible to me -- freakin' WORD to everything. :F_05BL17blowkiss: to Scarlett for bringing that over here, and for simply being a fun person

I've just got to do this -- IMO it seems to be a bit lacking from today.... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Lots of new clack! :laola0: :nana:

Thanks for bringing a different perspective artquest. I'm with couchie, I'd love to hear your thoughts on seeing the show live vs. what happened on TV.

AllDay: Live from Studio 1A Blog: Q & A with Clay Aiken

If you go to the Today Show webpage, they have a link for the interview. They also have a blog! AllDay: Live from Studio 1A: Q&A with Clay Aiken It's got some incredibly funny answers! Complete text in the News Section.

Shoot, I got a phone call in the middle of Ambassador Aiken speaking! Isn't that ALWAYS the way? But what I did hear was fantastic -- he does such a good job in relaying his PASSION for what he saw, and did. I wish I had a quarter of his skills in this regard. AI -- I'm not surprised. I figured that everyone was safe early yesterday, but totally forgot about the manipulation aspect, and it hurts me that it was Jordin who got the brunt of it ('cause I really like her). But even if had been one of the other contestants, it still sucks. And yet, I'm just not surprised either. The AI machine has the corner on manipulation. I'm missing most of my workouts this week, due to scheduling. And I can say that I miss them -- I always feel better after sweating for a while, for some reason. Addisex -- I think it has to do with Grey's Anatomy. Don't watch, but I know couchie does! Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to ER!

He's on NOW!!!!

Clack Unlimited Today Show Clip (BTW, please remember to support them, if you can possibly afford to do so!) That was a great little interview. While I totally agree with those that think he looks 12 -- he speaks, and he's so adult. He's an articulate and thoughtful man. I liked hearing about the older women coming to school and learning to read in Afghanistan. *sigh* playbiller, so much WORD to your entire post.

ITA. I feel the exact same way about the song -- it's a pure classic. Now, I really did NOT like the bowl cut of AI5. Really.Did.Not.Like. Really hated. Please - if he's going to wear bangs his hair must be cut like Kimmel of the Gala!! I told you I was shallow! OK, here goes, let's see if CG likes or not... He looks YOUNG. But he's still adorable.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Clayzorback}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} We're here, if you need us. You can always email.... I love my boyfriend, though (although my husband is still first on my list too). He's in NYC, making appearances and publicity for UNICEF. God, he's so good. Off to try and find screencaps.

Leonard Lopate Show April 26, 2007 There's a link on the page that has pictures, including two new ones, from his trip.
