Yes. Written by William Goldman. I read it in High School...thinking all the time... Gee this reads just like a screenplay. Everything you love about the movie...but more more more of it. But I do think sometimes it's what you loved first. I loved the book first. I loved the movie too, but not in the same way. --- Awww MOAM anniversary

Inconceivable! You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Princess Bride? You all do know the book is better right?

That was one of my first thoughts when we found out he was going back.

No reason to feel bad Wanda... :F_05BL17blowkiss: --- muski ... who knows why, but they are all alike. Saturday afternoons at the library were always such a joy. NOT.

Hee. Doing MARC records for the online catalog leaves my typos out there for everyone to see too. My favorite was the juvy book Karen's new bike. Which in our catalog was listed as Karen's new bile. IOW .... not the same old yellow stuff she coughed up yesterday. --- eta...I'm Hunter Green. But too lazy to do the script thing.

That's my girl. Own it. --- Eh. I really really don't like the song so I guess I'm too biased to comment.

Aw thanks. This was such a young team and really, no one expected them to finish anywhere near the top of the division. Yet they came so close to winning it. All in all...it was pretty sweet. The first couple of days are always a bit of a shock to the system. what? no game? how many days until pitcher's and catcher's report!!?? --- Didja know that many historians agree that King James was, at the very least,...a leeeeetle bit gay? --- Aw...I love Clay and all his "interesting" fashion choices. Hee. We have a Clay friend that thoughout the IT thought Fugly was a designer name. *waves to friend*

Oh well. Now I can exhale until next season. --- I just think that some are using the no moderation period to post whatever vile little thought they have. It will be interesting to see what happens next...that's for sure.

Just some mild hyperventilating. It's gonna be a long day and evening.

Well I think the only couple I intensely dislike is the older separated couple. That is not a good dynamic and not sure it's one I care to watch play out. I like the Geeks and Mom & Son also.

I was just thinking no way in hell would I be able to do the stair thing. And I'm mildly scared of heights.

Whoops ... that was supposed to be a link for the TAR thread. Guess that was what was on my clipboard from the baseball game today. Think I'll leave it. Anywho....http://findingclayaiken.invisionzone.com/i...amp;#entry89958

Weeeeeeeeeeeee! The race is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps they feel that Clay needs to tell them that he meant to deceive them so they can feel better about being deceived. That way it's not on them. Maybe? --- I don't have a problem with someone who chooses to leave because for them, this is something they can't support. That is them coming up against their moral absolute and respecting it. Fine by me. I will have trouble being nice about those that try to stick around and be nasty about it in anyway. Just warning y'all. --- On another note....could this week be any more stressful? My poor widdle White Sox voodoo doll needs a serious break. The offseason can't come soon enough for him

Well...claytonic to me that is the inherent problem with moral-absolutes. It's fine to draw a line but at some point you have to cross it or respect it. People who choose to live their lives that way must come up against it a lot. The one I have a real hard time with is...I was raised to think this (or that) is wrong. I want to know why they never formed their own opinion as an adult. Is it just because it's easy? I've always had some issues with the way my parents chose to be parents. But I will give them this...they taught me to be an independent thinker who didn't just blindly accept anyone else's opinions or worldview.

I think this is where I am and have been for awhile. I also believe that much of the collective fandom discourse doesn't have anything to do with Clay at all.

Have you ever been interviewed by the press? Have you ever opened up the newspaper to find yourself quoted? 'Cuz I could tell you some stories. Just sayin' Clay has admitted to being naive during that interview. He has stated that he never intended to lie or mislead. Which, to me, is not the same as saying that he didn't. Perhaps it IS all semantics I, honestly, never would have blinked an eye had he come out right away. I just thought he was such a strong, self- aware person that he wouldn't hide it. So I did believe he was straight. Now .... hearing him talk about the timing, helps me to understand. He had never admitted it to anyone BUT himself until he met Kim Locke....on American Idol. The RS interview happened not so long after that. I can see that he didn't understand the total implication of one statement in one interview...how it would be stapled to him for the next five years. He had no clue. So, in my mind, if he's "guilty" of anything in this, it's being, understandably, clueless at that point. And good-Lordy-in-the-mornin' .... if I was anything at the age of 24, it was CLUELESS!

I had exactly the same thought. It makes much more sense that way now. IMO. It's been a long day for this ole' broad and my brain's fried. Could you help me understand what you're thinking here? Tx! There were people who disliked the editing of the last DS interview. Felt it was her fault that it came off sounding less like the denial that they thought it was. The editing might have been Clay's way of trying NOT to misrepresent. He even said to Diane .... "you know how hard I've tried not to .... " Sorry not much help explaining am I? At least I know what I mean edited cuz double posting doesn't make it any clearer hee.

I had exactly the same thought. It makes much more sense that way now. IMO.

My DD just come home and I mentioned it to her. Her reaction? Yay! ????

Same here ... I just wish I were in NY tonight. I wonder who will be there for him? Will he have special support (family, friends...) in the audience or will it be business as usual?

Honestly...w/the baby (WTH did that come from?) and then him going back to Spamalot rather unexpectedly (safe place) and then the whole "my story" interview (why now after everything?) and of course, his last blog (schmoopie to the extreme) well I can say I am not surprised today. I mostly feel bad if it's true and he felt he had to hide it for so long. I think there will be those that are mad at him but I don't think there will be nearly as many as some might think. Just some rambling...

Yeah...me too. But I also accept that it is was always his decision to say, that I would believe what he chose to tell me about himself until he chose to tell me differently.
