Twins again. Who's keeping score? Heh, I didn't even know Party Shuffle existed. Weeeee! Ok, I clicked and I get: Not Ready to Make Nice - Dixie Chicks Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills, and Nash These Arms Are Open All Night - Bon Jovi (Hey, that looks suspiciously like These Open Arms) French Shoes - John Mellencamp You Are The One - Elliott Yamin Fall - JillandKate When I Was Young - Eric Burdon Winter Wonderland - Clay Aiken Kissing a Fool - George Michael One of Gods Better People - Robbie Williams Love Minus Zero/No Limit - Leon Russell It's Wonderful - Ella Fitzgerald Hit The Ground - Lizz Wright Are You a Beatle Or A Rolling Stone - Delany & Bonnie & Friends Joy - Elvin Bishop HAHA! -- Most Played: MDYK - CA MCWL - CA Monsoon - Robbie TOA - CA BW - CA WW - CA Feel - Robbie OHN - CA SN - CA HTHAS/OCAYF - CA LOL! Heh, in 2007 alone, I added 1324 Songs to my iTunes. I totally tried to highlight the quoted invisible iTunes lists... more than once! Hee. That's all I got... I gotta work some more. Wah!

Well, apparently I do have some guilt... hee. For new, unsigned artists, if I want to support them, I do pay. Sometimes I buy their music from their own site if I find them on MySpace (which I cruise around frequently trying out music). Mostly it's the mainstream (I already bought an album, 8-track, AND a cassette and I'll be damned if I'm buying it again) music I buy on the cheap. Or someone I just like one song of. It's like going to Warehouse or Tower records in the "old" days and buying from the bins. But it's not always just the old stuff, I admit. Kelly's CD? Cheap. Oh, and I use this converter to convert m4p to mp3 when required. I don't really download any TV anything, except that time I missed 24 one night and had to find it. But it took forever. Now I use that site someone found to watch Jericho. It has everything... I guess you can't download them, but that's fine with me. I hardly ever re-watch anything. I've never seen Dr. Who. Maybe I'll watch an eppy this afternoon while I finalize my JavaHelp.

I buy from the Russians. Songs are .19 each with a 10% discount for a whole album. I always felt strange about p2p connections, but have no problem giving my credit card to a Russian music site. I have no guilt either. I downloaded the entire Beatles catalog the other day for under $30. And about every 60s /70s album from my album collection. Now I can toss those damn things. The songs are unprotected mp3s and are usually ~160k - 256k br. My iTunes has about 3700 songs. And that's only because I haven't re-added my Live!Clay! yet. Heh. http://www.mp3search.ru/ I use iTunes to surf around, then go buy cheap. The only albums I buy full-price are Clays. Clayzor, I'm drooling at the thought/description of your corn! I bought one Alicia Keys CD and it annoyed me.

*smack* :lmaosmiley-1: :Tour3:

Ha. As definitely as someone with no tickets (concert or air) can be! Hee. So did I! And I really don't like those pictures much, which only means I haven't analyzed them like others and yet I STILL knew it immediately.

Hee. What on earth would give you that idea?

My sentiments exactly!

Claritin without the D works for me. I can't stand the hyped-coma (yep, at the same time) I get from Benadryl or Claritin-D or Sudafed or any of that other crap. But straight Claritin (or Loratadine) from the drugstore works for me with none of those side-affects.

Hee. Pretty funny! Yay, muski... that would be cool, thank you! I'll carry on in the Summer Tour thread... details, details! And yes, yes, yes on the meeting new folks and squeezing my butt in the minivan!!! Thanks for all the enabling, everyone! It would be nice to pull off the whole weekend - I really hope I can. Hee, jmh! You know me too well to be getting worried about me like that! :F_05BL17blowkiss: I wish I could do Raleigh so I could come see you! This will be my first tour without going East. I just couldn't pull it off, dad-gummit! I can't believe all the nothing I did today myself. Yammered on the phone, sat out in the sun reading gardening magazines, watched some Yankees/Giants baseball - 13 innings is just too damn many. Cleaned off the deck; that was productive! Watered stuff. Nothing too exciting, that's for sure. Sorry about your garage sale rain, Clayzor! 'night all.

Yay. ok. no hurry. Heh. I don't think I can do the 4-fer, but I can probably squeeze in the Greek and maybe one more. I'll do my homework while you ship pins and then next week we can come togetha...right now... over Clay.

Ok, so um, whattup? Can I play?

Thanks. :F_05BL17blowkiss: Yeah, I have time. Phew. Also it's a weekend, which is good. Ok, panic attack over. I got all excited reading all your favorite concert posts... Don't worry, I always do this. It's my version of "planning". The Greek on my birthday weekend sounds just about right! Ok, my favorite experiences evah? DC IT. Because it was totally unplanned. I was supposed to fly home the evening before, having already gone to Philly and NYC... at the very last second, I looked at my friend and said, "so... what if we found tickets to DC and they were good? How far is that from here?". Bwah. Changed my flight, got up early, got end-of-catwalk seats on Ticketmaster in the morning, drove like bats out of hell/caught the train and got to the venue just in time for the show to start. Best time ever. JBT Toronto/NH - entire crazy trip. So much fun the five of us who drove to NH from Toronto (me, laughn, sylvie, kavanaugh, sunburstoflight) and julesrules, who we met up with there made our own entire message board just to recap our trip. Chicks In Slacks. We had been laughing at how many people want to "do" Clay and someone made a joke about what if we each had our own web sited dedicated to ourselves and people posted about how they wanted to "do" us...and it just went nuts from there...drooling over each others "assets" and such -- 15 hours is a long time to spend in a car, yo! Kav even wrote a little fanfic about me having lunch. We were totally amused and so caught up in how much fun we had, we just had to share. I still laugh out loud (heh) at that board.. Funnest road.trip ever. Glasses!Sneezing!Ass!Terri!MapleLeaf!Clay! was pretty cute too. Hee. Oh, and guess what? That trip was unplanned too. I smell a theme (or a personality disorder - heh!). Jingle Ball - Tacoma - Front row center mosh pit. Clay singing right to ya. I can picture it like it was yesterday. Fun shit. Can't explain it. Know I don't need to. Columbia, JNT - Intermission. Concerts are important things, right? Hee. ETA... I meant to say to artquest that your favorite concert moment rates right up there with alot of us, I think. Very, very sweet!

You're welcome! So, does that mean you want me to make you some final templates?

Ok, it's starting to hit me. I'm not going to a concert. That is totally, completely, absotively unacceptable. Where's the schedule? Who's going where? How am I going to figure this out? :Tour4:

Bwah! I think that's what I'd probably do! I can't imagine who is going to do all this for me, cuz I don't have kids, but I hope to Buddha that I have my mind and a choice to make my own decisions. I'm way too much of a control freak and it would be the end of me. *hugs* to everyone! It's some hard stuff. Taxing on the emotions and time, and there are all sorts of complex issues swirling about. I'd love to vent, but I'm afraid my mom would read it; Clay board lurker that she is. So, I'll just say that she's in NC with my brother. I don't agree with their "relationship" or "situation", but she's made it clear that it's her call, she's aware of the "issues" and she still chooses it. So, whaddya gonna do? I wrote a whole post and deleted it though, so that was fairly therepeutic. Thanks.

Hee. Proactive. That's one word to call 'em. ldyjocelyn... thank you SO much for finding that article... not that there was much more than what I had quoted but I've been looking (half-assed) since 2003 and didn't know where to find it. There's a reason you're the librarian! Hee. Me? I've been wracking my brain trying to create some Javahelp files for a software development project. We created some templates for running the books through one tool and out the other end comes HTML and java help. It took me two freaking weeks to get all the tools sorted out to run the thing and on only the 6th attempt, success!!!! YAY! Now I just have to write the books! Bwah! First draft: Tuesday. :lmaosmiley-1: Off to try not to dream of Darlene Maroulis!

^^ Hee. She reads my posts. :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Final templates for those who requested them: Clickable...

If you want me to make one for the Greek, treenuts, you can request it here. But someone has to tell me what to put on it. I'm just the grunt. KeepingFaith: Also, see Texas in the previous post. Lemme know which ones you like or what changes you want and I'm happy to make them or create the final art for Cafe Press. I think if you scroll back a few pages, you'll see lots of ideas; maybe one that interests you, or maybe you have an idea of your own. :F_05BL17blowkiss: Clayzor! Don't use the graphics posted in this thread to order your shirt; these are just mock ups. I'll post the finalized template in the final template thread!

Thanks for checking on that. Shoot, I'm gonna have to do some librarian digging on my lunch hour for that, if I find the article, I'll let you know. Yeah, please do! I would have originally found it on TTC... When ezBoard was hacked last year many of the ezBoards lost a lot of stuff. TTC was hit hard. So, I found nothing there either. I have GOT to get my ass in gear... I have an 11:30 meeting an hour away and I haven't even loaded my laptop with the files I need, or taken a shower. WTF? It's Clay Aiken/message board disease, I swear! Anyone who needs TShirt stuff... I'll be back late this afternoon and will set you up then! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

ldyjocelyn.... I've never been able to find that article again. Sorry. I have no idea where it even came from. I looked around my files and I have nothing, nor does CNN at the CH. Apparently I liked it though. Hehheh...I hope Brett's friends do shit like that just to screw with his brother's fans. I would. Hee. Look Claygasm, we took almost the same picture. It's the finger placement - none of my other MOAM medley shots have that finger placement. Your picture totally made me flash back to this --- after 4 years and eleventybillion pictures. Hell, I don't remember my own life details this well. HAHA! (clickable) Toronto? Drove up from Detroit for the JBT and then on to NH via Niagara Falls. All I remember is that Yonge street is the longest effin' street in the known universe and nobody on it knew where Clay Aiken was! I mighta asked a few hundred of them out the car window. LOL! Good times! Have fun, KAndre !

Heh, I'm here! Ok, so today I'll make templates for: I did Clay in Tulsa Between A Soft Rock And A Hard Place!!! and...? I did Clay in Texas And he was Hot!!! How're these? (clickable)

Yay... couch mom !! Ok, you made me look. The first photobucket picture I ever had was this: BUT... I used PageProducer before that and my first photo there was also my first siggy blend thingamabob. I made it mahself. I was pretty effin proud too. Hee. And I had all this under the picture. Holy Sheep, that's alot. But I loved this article (obviously). And, lastly, from an interview before the Sacto AI2 Tour: /dork From the middle at random, just cuz I like this one... Hee. Heh --->

Aww, Couchie... Big Hugs and tons of good vibes coming your way!

Soooo... do you ever read along and click a bunch of quote buttons and then like 10 freaking hours later hit reply and a whole crapload of stuff comes up and you can't even remember wtf you were gonna say? Thread title of my life! I think muski would like this one: And couchie: And KAndre: Here's one for the thread: .................^ Soft Hee. Back to work.
