I stole this from momof3boys at cv...its an actual acting challenge from ANTM, if your not familiar with the show..usually they do one acting challenge a cycle..because acting and posing go hand in hand, plus it helps them get their emotions for modeling in order etc... ANTM acting challenge with taye diggs

Ive only seen Clay I have a hard time with concerts, the sound always gets me anxious, and i cant hear a word theyre saying...except Clay...for some reason I can hear him fine, its magic actually I lied...I saw avalon, big daddy weave and the begining of Jars Of Clay....I left during Jars of Clay because it was a big christian festival, and I was toward the front and everyone was crowded around, there was no aisleway or place to walk and they were so loud I almost had a panic attack..but avalon was good lol

also, he may have been over exagerating, because there were 10 comments and one mentioned clay being allergic to shellfish..so it wasnt like he had a huge ammounts, and its annoying but honestly it happens about everyone, especially idol contestants..but the haters and defenders are out there for everyone, I remember when alysia milano did the yahoo questions thing, her comments were horrible...does it make it ok? no...but it isnt just a clay problem, where there is comment sections there will be comments speaking of acting out and smut... actually what im gonna say has really nothing to do with any of that, but I read somewhere in Arizona during the super bowl right when the cardinals got ahead, 30 seconds of a pornographic movie played.

What would Clay's be? well since he is there for an acting challenge...Im guessing acting.. right?

I love AMNTM! I love it when Clay shows up on the shows I watch anyways

ditto for me, I dont go to concerts for the big huge pyrotechnics and dancing, I go to hear someone sing...if they are lip singing then it dont do it for me..but some stuff wouldnt do it for me lip sung or regular sung (Im a womanizer womanizer lol)

hiiiii Karma!

I think Im known as being pretty easy when it comes to clay, but Ive figured out that it isnt just clay, I have a hard time complaining about people (though clay hasnt given me anything to complain about lol) I called the payroll lady again today because I needed 6 different time sheets..3 each for 2 people, and she only sent me 1 for 1 person...this has been such a problem for me trying to get paid..but I still cant bring myself to go above her and talk to someone else, because if she gets in trouble I know Ill feel bad...I dont complain about food in a resteraunt that isnt right when it comes to me, Ill just eat whatever I can eat..is that considered a character flaw? lol

oh my goodness! thats another one... boy, Im downright insane

hee according to Kandre Im super crazy...Im a vegetarian and not only do I like Poetry but I write it and Im a Clay Aiken fan..all kinds of crazy!! all joking aside, I dont even get embarressed if other clay fans do something embarressing..I can only be in control of my own behavior, I dont do anything embarressing to me (or anyone else i dont think lol) and so I dont feel embarressed for what someone else done..to me, getting embarressed for someone else is giving the media and people who think we are one big borg instead of a bunch of individuals to much power...I had a mullett in elementary school, it takes a heck of a lot to embarress me, just saying lol scarlett that was a WONDERFUL post!

That doesn't have anything to do with being a Claymate. That is just being an ignorant, inconsiderate person. Being one does not automatically make you the other. You are the one classifying them as Claymates (as a dirty word). I think 'we' put a far more negative spin on the word than any of the 'not just us' people do. yes there are rude people everywhere...in the clay fandom and out. I guess I dont care if the world rolls their eyes at me...Im the one enjoying my time as a clay fan, and they are the ones judging me..Id rather be on my side.

I'm having myself a Harry Potter marathon. Football? What football? I love Lucy marathon here..the one time I watched the super bowl I helped out at the super bowl party with the residents at work..they had snacks and fake beer and cheered and screamed..and I may have screamed and ran at the tv a couple times ahem...I realized I dont have a low enough stress level to watch football..

I think Clay will go on with his career...whatever is coming up, and Reed will go on with his career..and they will either stay in a relationship through email, pm, cellphone, visits...or not lol arent you glad you know what I think on the subject? I knew you would be...I think Clay will tour...I want clay to tour, thats whats next in my mind..darnit! ready for my newest time card saga? I know your anxious....today I got my time card!! not time CARDS, just one lol and I didnt get the ones from before, Im supposed to be getting pay from the 5th, but the ones I got are only from the 17th...sigh...and I only got one for one of them...not one for each of them, so we have to call again on Monday.... isnt life fun fun fun

yes...and the other way around...my best friend in high school was the geekiest guy you'd ever meet, and when I first met him, I had my eyes on his brother and I didnt think that he was good looking, but halfway through the year, we became very close and he became so handsome to me..because he was so kind, and his heart made him so good looking.. suffice to say, we arent friends anymore, and he physically has become more attractive lol go figure.

thats what I think...if its true, well...good for him, but Im not going to believe it until Clay says its true..I know things have turned out to be true and clay didnt talk about them tell later, but its just easier for me if I dont speculate and I wait for Clay..there was a reason he "made" us wait last time, he didnt want to tempt fate, I can respect that..if the same thing happens this time Ill respect that to. I believe the rumor started when we first learned about Parker, in touch or something said they had planned ot try for the next one, I think its just that they took that information and ran with it, as of now i dont believe its true.

Im one that hates those nicknames and terms (no I didnt comment..I havent commented on an article or blog in...ever I dont think lol) I think terms like that is another way to make gay people different, and it seems dehumanizing, yes it may not be..yes gay people (or some) may use them all the time, but I personally dont like the terms..its no different then if black people used derogatary terms for themselves..I still dont like it, even if they are referring to themselves and not me..Ive always taken "queer" as meaning odd..or different and I dont like it.. HOWEVER the article itself was fine, Im a big girl, I can get past the terms that I dont like, to the meat of the article..I dont expect to like every word or every piece of every article ever written...and the meaning and I was very happy with attention being given to philanthropic efforts that clay does. I can understand that it is my dislike of such terms, and in no way am I projecting whether Clay would or would not like those terms..or anyone else who uses terms that speak about themselves in what I would consider a derogotary manner. I dont know if that makes sense, but its how I feel lol it makes sense in my head

I was wondering when someone was going to see the smutty version lol you know Ive been on the clay boards too long, before I would never have noticed that lol

grumble... so, after waiting at the mailbox everyday, expecting my time cards because I was told they were mailed on the 21st, not to mention that Ive called everyday and nagged them..and asked for them to be sent again and was told that wasnt possible...she just called and said they were mailed today...harumph! normally this wouldnt be an issue, because they put them in with the check from the pay period before...but since I have to fill them out before I can get paid the first time..its been a battle.. but...God willing, they are on the way lol

Im an old soul to, I much prefer older songs, to whats on the radio today..I like to be able to understand what is being sung about without the screaming...I think music with words for the intention of dancing, not listening to is a waste of time lol and I also like a good ballad...ya know, there used to be a time when you were really something if you could sing a good ballad, now its like ballad is a 4 letter word...thats not to say I dont like more upbeat stuff..as long as I can understand it, and the lyrics arent pointless lol

I was also shocked when I found out covers were not well liked..if the singer is good I never thought or cared about whether it was a cover or whether I heard it a million times..even before clay I had no idea..

isnt Chain of Fools R&B? goodness gracious, thats my favorite...and the soul he puts in EIDN *fans self* boyfriend has soul

its kind of a vicious circle, getting around is complicated because I have my Oregon drives license, and cant get my california drivers license until I order my birth certificate, I need money to order my birth certificate as well as getting my drivers license...and I need to get paid before I can do any of that, and I need to get my california license in order to get put on the insurance of the people I take care of, so I can drive around..so right now Im stuck, and cant get around...When I got here I knew I was going to have to do the paperwork and that would take awhile, and I knew they would prorate it, but I had my paperwork turned in 2 weeks ago, and still havent gotten my time card, so Ive done my part..Ive called and one person tells me they dont have the information on when it was sent, another person tells me that it was sent on the 21st..I knew that I wasnt going to get paid right away, but I certainly thought by now I would at least have gotten my time card so I can fill it out and send it in...were down to nagging them daily.Im going to give them this week and then Im going to stop being nice lol I work for an in home care agency through the county...I havent worked since February of last year, so I understand Im a little impatient, but I think Ive been plenty patient..luckily my rent comes with the job, as well as other living expenses..so Im not going to be out on the street or anything, but that doesnt make it any less important.

wonderful post! Im frustrated, Ive been here for almost a month (can you believe it!) and I havent gotten my time sheets yet, and I cant get paid until I get my time sheets and send them in...10 days after that I get paid...I came down here with nothing, and keep having to ask my mom for money...when if i would just get my time sheet I will be fine..weve called them, they say they sent them..we call them the next day..I understand a few days, but its been a week since they sent them and its coming from close by...we ask them to send another one, they dont listen....sigh sigh..as soon as I start getting paid for my work it will be much nicer being here lol not that i neeeed anything, but I dont like working for free either lol

gosh I loved the songs tonight..all of them, they were beautiful and caressed my eardrums how cheesy is that lol Im easy, spread it around.

I think that means your whipped! story of my life lol
