  1. I love the View New Posts button... I use it every night when I get on... :eusa_whistle: Does that get me a cookie? (see, I can bring ANYTHING back to food!) What?
  2. ClayAikenLUVR_15 and Desertrose - from one newbie to two others! Hey! :F_05BL17blowkiss:
  3. The true extent of my shallowness is about to be known... One can NEVER exhaust the food topic and I could look at his crotch F.O.R.E.V.E.R... What? :eusa_whistle:
  4. It appears that I've done this backwards and didn't stop in here first... of course, I technically joined a long time ago and have just finally started posting myself... time to tell my tale I guess.... I actually stumbled on AI Season 1 about midway through (there was 7 or 8 left as I recall). I've been a fan of talent show kind of stuff, especially singing, so I was intrigued and watched the whole rest of the season. Was not obsessed with it, but enjoyed it and it was fun to see how many songs I recognized and how well they were done. Didn't particularly care who won and never voted. But I was hooked and made a point to watch Season 2. I remember when Clay walked in the room at his audition and thinking, ruh roh, geek alert... but damn, that boy could sang - he totally knocked me for a loop! I remember Group 2 and being totally p.o.'d that he didn't make it - as soon as the three were up there (Ruben, Kim and Clay), I knew he wasn't going to make it. And I was ticked off. I almost didn't keep watching but I was hopeful he'd come back for the Wildcard. And of course, he did. I was totally hooked on the guy. Couldn't miss a show. During this time, my son was taking Driver's Ed and I had to take him and pick him up from class. Well, even though I was taping the shows (and do I ever regret not keeping those babies...), I HAD to know what was going on real time. So there I was driving down the street to get my son from Driver's Ed, and I've got one of those little Casio 2" TVs playing AI. Luckily, the road to his class was pretty deserted... I wasn't happy that he didn't win, but I wasn't surprised either given the pimping going on. I just figured it wasn't meant to be. I had hardly ever used our computer up until then. My son used it mostly for school and IMing. But a couple days after the finale, I googled Clay Aiken. It never occurred to me to do it before then. And boy, was I amazed at what was out there. First link I clicked on was some gay/lesbian site where they were talking about his possibly being gay. I was stunned that people thought that because I never saw it... I saw geek, dork, some effeminate qualities, but not gay. It just never occurred to me. So I kept looking around. Found That's The Clay... lurked there until it imploded, went to The Clayboard... don't care for the hundreds of threads you had to look at to find anything... stumbled on The Clackhouse... found I like the linear thread a lot more... found my way to Clayversity and then here... I've never really felt at home at any of them (the ones I could post at)... it's hard joining a group after others have made friends and have their groups... I've never been an outgoing person - I'm getting better as I get older but still have trouble getting to know people or just jumping in... so I tend to be a lurker more than a poster. I'm totally in this for the fun - early to mid 2006 was a little rough because there was so much anguish... and I felt some of it too... mostly I hurt for Clay and what he was going through... my friends at work, who know about my Clay love, had heard about it on the radio and pretty much didn't give it much thought... I mean, they're not into him so they really don't care... they know I love him and they just go with the flow... So, I may not end up posting a lot, I'm a lurker by nature, I'm rarely a deep thinker when it comes to anything Clay, I'm all about the good time with this fandom. I hope to meet some more fans and go to many more concerts and have a blast with this... when it really stops being fun, it will be time to move on, but I don't anticipate that happening anytime soon (and that can be Clay's soon!)....
  5. Oh, ab-so-lute-ly! He's very quick and ever so naughty... :eusa_whistle: Caro - congrats!
  6. I thought it was Orlando during "When I See You Smile" when a bunch of people held up those light up smiley faces. And I thought he said "size doesn't matter" because Angela's and Quianna's were different sizes?
  7. Boy, that's a tough one... although the Brewers have been to the World Series (sorry, had to substitute my team) and I was lucky enough to go to one of the games, so... I originally thought I'd say the WS cuz Clay does tour more than teams make it to the WS, but I do believe I'd go for Clay... hee. THIS? Totally CMSU!!! Dang, girl... ETA: keepingfaith - yum... one of his best looks ever!
  8. Oh yeah, now I remember. Time to pull those movies back out and have a run at them... Harrison Ford... yummy.... Hee... makes me think of one day, walking into Target with my son... he was about 8 or 9, they have an oscillating fan near the door... he walks right up to it and gets really close and says "Luke, I am your father" into it... heh. Well, it was funny at the time... try it sometime, it sounds just like Darth Vadar/Vader/whatever...
  9. Now, I love me some original Star Wars* (although my mother was the master... we've still got lots of stuff she bought that we haven't figured out how to get rid of it yet... three level chess shets, life size phasers, all kinds of shi... stuff... including a plate of 7 of 9 and funny story that goes with that one!) anyway, that looks like the Mummy to me.. the old days Mummy not that new one from a couple of years ago.... *ah shit... I'm all confused - I mean, Star Trek, she was the master of Star Trek... doh. Who/what is it supposed to be? Besides yummy chocolate, that is....
  10. Now, that's just wrong... everyone knows olives belong in martinis... I've officially been squicked out...
  11. That was me. Took me forever to catch up... wanted to read everything first before I posted... of course, it didn't help that the family (including son who doesn't grace us with his presence much any more - growing up and all that) went out for Chinese... yum. So anyway, cuz I just know you all haven't heard enough about jello... hahaha... the sugar free cherry jello and lite cherry pie filling result.... DIVINE!! And I haven't even put cool whip/whipped cream on it yet! It's very yummy and also very WW friendly (if you're so inclined)... Thanks for the recipe! I actually shared it with a gal at work today, I like it so much! Oh yes, Lindt truffle... the one that's extra dark chocolate or some such... can be bought at Target or the grocery store... or if you're lucky, like Milwaukee, there's actually a Lindt store in the mall! Try not spending a buttload there... As you can see, food rules my world (and this whole post!)... and since I'm not eating a whole hell of a lot of it much anymore, I have to talk about it!!
  12. I'll let you know how it turns out... and yeah, I never even looked at the clock but it's after 11 here now so it probably was after ten.... And you made me think of my Mom who gave my niece an ice cream cone for breakfast one day... Mom's logic was that ice cream is dairy and the cone is made of the same stuff as cereal so it wasn't any different than having a bowl of cereal! I thought my sister was gonna have a cow! And that's what Grandmothers are for!
  13. Hmmmmmmmm, well, if healthy is wanted, wonder how this cherry recipe would be w/ sugar-free jello and no sugar added cherries? I think it's worth a try! Well, that whole healthy thing was actually about having cherry jello stuff for breakfast instead of like real breakfast food... so now I get to out myself and admit that I did use sugar free jello and lite cherry pie filling... IT'S ALL I HAD, PEOPLE and when I get the urge to make something, I gotta do it right away!!!! I'm the queen of instant gratification! Damn! I love that green stuff... and shit, cuz I know I don't have all those ingredients. I'll be thinking about that stuff all day at work tomorrow now... I wonder if I could call in sick... :eusa_whistle:
  14. Lots and lots of really great posts... too many to quote so I'll just WORD y'all for all kinds of reasons... I try not to be too deep a thinker in my fandom - I read contracts for a living - that's deep enough for me and thinking deep often makes my head hurt... Shallow should be my middle name... Like I mentioned, I'm here for the fun and I try really hard to stay away from and out of the shit (my toes hate that squishy feeling!)... it's not that I'm oblivious to it, I'm at least aware of most of it if not intimate with it and I could angst away with the best of them if I wanted, but being shallow and all, I try hard as hell to ignore it and just cling to the smut... besides, thanks to Mrs. Ode, my 7th/8th grade English teacher who made me hate grammar and sentence structure with the heat of a zillion burning suns (tm someone somewhere I'm sure), I don't put my thoughts into words as well as so many others... that causes me to avoid putting any deep thinking I do into words on paper... So on to one of my other favorite subjects which it appears we ARE still discussing... Just ran into the kitchen, all the ingredients, check! Fired up some boiling water and now have Cherry Jello Stuff setting in my fridge! My son is a cherry fiend and saw it on the counter as the water was getting to boiling and immediately asked what was up. I suspect Cherry Jello Stuff will be his breakfast tomorrow! Thanks! Yeah, we're all about healthy eating and shi.. stuff like that...
  15. Yes, that does make me happy! :F_05BL17blowkiss: Glad it was just my paranoid self thinking everyone would think of "you know who"... (heh... yep - an HP fan... albeit an embarrassed one who hasn't gotten off her butt to go to the latest movie yet... I know, time to hand in my membership card.... does it make it better that I have all the books on CD? Love, love, love me some Jim Dale!)... And thanks for all the welcomes! Glad to be here!
  16. Muski there's your cue... The Clyra - part 2 Oh, yes, please... Ruh roh... top of the page... glad to take the hit for the rest of you - I mean yippee!!
  17. Good grief - I had to stare at that picture for friggin' ever to figure out what I was lookin' at! DOH! I kept thinking it was something metal near his skin until it finally dawned on me it was his sunglasses! DOUBLE DOH! I think I need to eat more carrots because my eyesight sucks... But now that I know what it is... I'm going back to stare longer.... maybe count hairs... :eusa_whistle:
  18. Spike is my son - his name is actually Mike and we've called him Spike since he was a wee one (he just turned 20). When I first got into the online fandom (May of 2003), I couldn't think of anything really original for a board name so latched onto my son... of course, little did I know that I'd probably regret that choice a couple years later once someone else burst onto the scene... but here I am... hopefully no one will hold it against me...
  19. OK, I'll step out from behind the wall... a little nervously, but still... I've been pleasantly surprised at what I've found here over the past couple of weeks of lurking... I'm not a big poster anywhere... really mostly a lurker... I venture out a bit but I've never really felt comfortable anywhere yet... my very first post somewhere else got me smacked down - that tends to make you gun shy... hoping this might be the place... it's really hard when it seems like folks have all these established friendships... and of course, if I keep posting I suppose I'll have to figure out the avitar and that other stuff too... damn. Where is that picture of my son again?.... But I like the atmosphere of fun here... I'm a fan for the fun - my fandom MUST be fun... I've laughed more the last couple of weeks (and today especially) than I have in a loooooong time! Stayed out of the shit crap storm over the last couple of days... was I crazy about the tour idea... no, don't like my Clay with any other entrees (I do like the Q and A side dishes) but I don't get to tell Clay what to do... I'm along for the ride... as long as I'm havin' fun and enjoying it, then it's good. If I stop havin' fun, then I'm done. So far, so good. Food? Did you say food? My favorite subject - although it's somewhat limited by my participation in WW (friggin metabolism)... but... Liver? Just no. Mom used to give me liver sandwiches... liver between two slices of Wonder bread... thank god for my friend who liked it and would eat it for me... ate it one other time when I was pregnant thinking I was doing something noble for my baby... sorry, once was enough, didn't care if he came out stoopid... Brussel sprouts - will this get me kicked out before I even have a chance? Flove them! Cooked cauliflower too! Salt on fruit - yep - Mom was from PA/OH area and she brought that one with her... but I don't do it anymore. Grits - instant - haven't had any other kind... like them plain... Comfort food? Kraft cheese slices on buttered bread, jammed together into a sandwich... oh yeah. Ok, that's probably enough for a first post... here goes nothing!
