Claywright

Love it, love it, love it. my favorites are Irwin and Godwin, the brothers. I hope they win. I hate Sarah's boyfriend. He sits back like the grand poobah and lets her with her prothesis leg climb all the cliffs. Why can't he do it once in a while. That other dating couple seem to be fighting all the time. The models seem to be working together. Good for them to have gotten over their addiction and are trying hard to win. The West Virginia (?) married couple are good people and she is struggling with a broken ankle. I was sorry to see Dad and daughter go home. They tried hard, but chance has a lot to do with this game, more so than skill. Last week, it was so hard for the couples to row that boat, it wasn't like a canow or rowboat, it was a very wide boat and difficult to row. This is my favorite show. I can't believe that Clay wanted to go on it. There is so much water involved. What was he thinking??????????

KC01 Finally found the song Clay sang at a friend's wedding. It's called, "me and you?" Couldn't find the lyrics and it was mentioned on All Things Clay Aiken which I think has closed down, but the mp3 was probably there long ago. Maybe someone else can trace the mp3 for you. Best, Romy

Hi KC01, For the father daughter dance, how about Kenny Roger's You decorate my life, or Through the Years, which I think would be appropriate. I can't find the song I had found one time that Clay sang at a wedding, but one wedding I went to, a cousin sang the Andre Bocelli song I go wih you which in Italian is Con te partiro. Absolutely beautiful. I don't know if you have a singer or will use taped music. At my wedding, instead of coming into the church with "here comes the bride", I had the organist play Trumpet Voluntary which is not common, but excellent. I am giving you a list from an album my son bought at the Pennsylvania Renassaisance Fair. They were Timeless Classics, wedding favorite arranged for solo harp www.louislynch.com. Cantabile by Mozart Canon by Pachelbel Hornpike by Purcell Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach Trumpet Voluntary by Jeremiah Clark Wedding Day, traditional Irish Spring Medley, Vivaldi, 4 Seasons Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana Rondeau by Mouret Ar Eirin ni NeosfainnCe hi, Traditional Irish Ode to joy by Beetoven Ave Maria, Schubert Hornpipe, Handel Water Music Trumpet Tune, Percell Lauda, Italian Largo, Handel Xerxe Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Handel Jupiter, Gustav Hoist, The Planets Canon by Pachelbel It's killing me that I can't find that wedding song by Clay. Best Wishes. Romy

I agree. Besides there are so many good show on TV now, the Amazing Race, Survivor, Justice, Vanished. We tape them and try to keep up when we can. It's painful to see Springer. At least George Hamilton had some charm and sense of humor. I'm going with Joey Lawrnce, though why the bald head????????

Yippee, it started again. My favorite show. Haven't chosen who I love or hate yet, but that will come. Lots of interesting teams. I get glued to the set trying to feel like I'm in those wonderful countries, but why do Americans always feel that everyone should know English. Don't they have time to pick up a language travel book at the airports? Guess not!

I wish that the comments about Clay were only "diss and suggestions". I can't help getting upset but I have stopped writing to the morons, so far. I know they only get high on the Claymates' responses and feel that they are happy with the publicity it generates. I'm trying to take his attitude about trying to stay cool and calm, but I love him so much, I feel like punching some of those vicious morons. I don't think I will be able to keep my big mouth shut when I see Jay Mohr on one of my favorite shows, the Ghost Whisperer. Where's my Paxil, I have to keep calm. :glare: :glare: :glare: :glare:

Hey KC01, you know, Clay used to sing at weddings for money prior to AI2. It would be interesting to try to find out what songs he sang. Maybe somebody here knows. If you really want to know, try opening a new thread in the music category. There are fans that know a lot about him and will answer. Anyway, Dec 9 is not a long way off, guess you're pretty busy. Much happiness to you and your love.

That's tough, I love them both, but you can't take up too much time to decide in this game. Flowers Full moon or crescent :glare:

My son and I love all of the Jane Austin. How about the Bronte Sisters? Can you imagine Clay as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, especially with his new long dark hair. I'd be Kathy and haunt him!!!!!!!! If you want to go way back, try Ben Hur. Have you ever read "Of Human Bondage" by Somerset Maughm? My son, Nick, is voting for Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, if you have ten years to spare to read it, or just go to the musical. lol oh my!! I would love to see Clay play that! that would be awesome!! Les miserables is a great novel! and I love the Ben Hur movie, but never read the book yet Talking about classics. How about Charles Dickins? Except some of them are tough. I could never get into Bleak House, much less finish it. Then there's Ernest Hemingway, but I really don't like his stories, but his style is straighforward and clean. I visited his Key West house last summer and found it interesting. His life was wild and his marriages rocky. His last wife was able to put up with him though. There are 60 cats roaming the place, descendents of a cat given to him by a sea captain. They all have names from the 50s. When we were there, Marilyn Monroe had just died the week before.

Hi kc91, thanks for letting us read your poem. It is very sad, remorseful and complicated. Do I understand that the subject parted with her (could be his) love on a mutual basis. The subject is now involved with another, but not on the same level as the first relationship and regrets (?) parting. The subject then reveals what she thinks are her faults. Allow me to be a teacher. Did you put this in prose form just for this forum. I would like to see it in blank verse form. And I would cut out a few words to make it stronger, eg. You meant the world to me. I never told you. -- Take this criticism for what it is worth and it could be worthless. I am a writer, not a poet. Anyway keep on writing. You have talent.

Cute Game, kc01! Solitaire Krispy Kremes or Mac and Cheese?

Wow, Playbiller. I got a headache just trying to follow your insurance travails. Good for you. Being hissy and consistent works (sometimes) but at least you are settled now. I tried to watch AI5 last night and got too emotional watching Paula make a fool of herself. I felt like sending her a bottle of JOLT or some cuban coffee to get her back to present time. Why did they let her go on?

Disco Night Listening to Corey’s apology about not telling TPTB about his criminal record, I was reminded of something I saw on a Dr. Phil program. I’m enclosing it for your purusal, if you care . Dr. Phil suggests keeping the following points in mind when you're talking to someone who you think might be stretching the truth. 1) Too much or too little eye contact. Liars tend to avoid looking people in the eye, but if they are staring you down, they may be working hard at lying. 2) Over-emphasizes details. When people are trying to avoid telling the truth, they often pick some obscure point and talk about it a lot instead of focusing on the key issue. 3) Fidgeting. Is the person you're talking to very fidgety? You often see kids do this when they're telling a tale. That's a sign that someone may be lying. 4) Touching nose. Research shows that when people lie, they tend to touch the base of their nose a lot. "That's a dead giveaway," says Dr. Phil. 5) Mouth pursed. When people tell a lie, they can't get enough oxygen, so they tend to breathe through their mouth instead of through their nose. 6) Speech hesitations. Pausing, throat clearing, or other stalling techniques may indicate that a person is embellishing the truth. 7) Looking up or down. They may be stalling for time. 8) Answers questions not asked. Without even asking them a question, liars will defend themselves. 9) Other body language to check for to spot a potential liar include: excessive blinking, dilated pupils, pitch changes, less smiling, and shrugging shoulders. The Show: The guest artist was Verdine White from Earth, Wind & Fire. He was the best and most articulate, the most sensitive, the most perceptive guest host so far. I’d like to focus on his comments to prove my point. Did you notice Paula using a lot of big words. She must have had a dictionary on her lap. Rickey came out with a huge afro wig singing and moving like he was having fun. I have always liked Rickey and as far as I’m concerned his personality is his greatest talent. Verine was so positive and supportive. He said it must have been hard for some one to come out singing one of his songs. Simon said something snide about singing at a children’s party. Rickey answered him back by saying entertaining is part of a singer’s showmanship. You go, man! Carmen came out and tried to sing “Turn the Beat around.” Verdine kindly said her strength is in her performance and her sparkle. He said to work on it. *********Clay********** What can one say? He is so adorable and so intriguing in tight pants. C’mon camera man, move down more often. It’s hard to watch his face, listen to his song and try to see how much of a b------there is down below. Vulgar, vulgar, vulgar me and I love it. We are only so human and can’t take too much at one time. --------sigh---------------. I tried to time the last note and according to my watch, it was 12 seconds long, but seemed so much longer. Paula wished he would dance, and he said he needs help with that. In his infinite wisdom Verdine said, you can sing. You got chops. Can’t remember Simon and so what????? Trenyce came out and Verdine said You’ve got star quality. Keep it up. Ruben. Verdine said, inspiring, brother. Klo came out with big hair belting out, “It’s raining men.” The audience went wild with her growly rendition. She was so good. Verdine said you sang one of the hardest tunes of that era. Josh sang Celebration. He claim that he was not feeling well. Verdine said, The show must go on. It happens to all of us. Don’t worry about it. I’m sure all the contestents treasured Verdine White’s comments and remembered his words. At the end, RS asked the group all snuggled together on a sofa with people who didn’t fit, hanging over the back, what they thought about Slimy slug in black shirt Simon. Clay, the future diplomat, showman and writer, said that there was some confusion about the contradictory comments by Randy and Paula versus Simon. He added that he respects Simon since he knows so much about the business--or he should? (paraphrasing) Kimmee prissily piped up with “I don’t tell about my opinions?” Can’t you just see her in high school with a bunch of blond cheerleaders? The results show was crammed with inane and stupid comments from RS. He certainly earns his money for stretching a 15 minute show with 45 minutes more, nothing worth while. A little review of previous show, some group singing. Ho hum. Where is my fast forward button on this thing? The bottom three were Kim Locke, Carmen (with a full body hug from Clay, jealous, ha, not me, not much) and Trenyce. The phone rang and I didn’t watch who went home, Carmen or Trenyce.

Got it!

Hey, you got all the good time and may they roll. java script:emoticon('') If something happens to delay it, I'm coming after ya for getting my hopes up. I hope the single will be "Back for More".

Hi Luckiest1 (great name). On another blog, we had a contest on naming the date news would come. I picked end of March, but even that seems too long to wait. As a child raised Catholic, I wondered what limbo was, now I know. I think Catholics don't talk much about limbo any more. I gave up church some time ago. But it certainly sounds like what Clay is putting us through LOL. But when news comes, it will be like WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find this episode to download. Does my computer hate disco?????? If it does, it will not survive.

:o Thanks, Playbiller for the info. I know I can count on you. First, I can see the problem with a fan/worker. Maybe she was just handy, living in Raleigh and applied -- whatever. Second, I am just dumbfounded that a fan or fans (????) would blow the whistle on the foundation. When it happened, I thought that Diane gave an emotional response instead of just issuing a professional statement, and having the auditors come in right away. I can sympathize with her being upset, but you have to be professional in matters like these where money is concerned. The damn thing took on a life of its own and I found myself having to explain to people that it was not true. Of course, the media loves gossip and people believe stuff they read. Thanks again.

I also send money to TBAF, because of the Clay connection. How did fans cause trouble????? Clay was probably humble when he created The Bubel Foundation and left off his name when he created it for college merit. I tried to watch AI5 (boys night out) but started grinding my teeth over Savage Simon made a remark like" You remind me of Clay, but likeable). Grind, grind, grind. Then I read that he said that only Kelly and Carrie of AI have longevity in the business. gggggrrrrrrrrr Some of the guys were okay, they need to grow, like Clay did, but then he had that voice before AI.

AI2 Country Rock Couldn’t they get a country star? Most of contestants didn’t sing country. Guess they took the rock part more seriously. Olivia Newton John was guest star. She somehow looks different than she did when she was younger. Plastic surgery anyone?????? Josh sang Aint Going Down Till The Sun Goes Up. Came out with Garth Brooks hat and looked very comfortable running into audience. Sounded good. Judges raved. Trenyce sang I Need You in great green dress and black boots. She had blond highlights in her hair and nice bling bling. She looked good and sang soulful country. Judges liked it. Klo sang I can’t Make You Love Me in a sultry voice. Ryan says it made him want to make out. Judges loved it and Randy said the best I’ve seen you. Cory sang Drift Away, If one more person comes out, clapping shouting, C’mon y’all, I’m going to scream. No country clothes, or any suggestion of country. Dude, you don’t have to go all out. Judges very positive, Paula said very refreshing, especially the upper register. Carmen shouted, C’mon you all, get on your feet. Were they going to play the National Anthem?????? She sang Wild Angels, but lost her twang on Country night? Can’t remember what judges said. Rickey sang something, I’m dying today???? He wore a nice creamy faint plaid shirt. Colors like this shows off his color and his bright smile. Used upper register a lot and audience gave a big response. Judges raved, Mellow sweet honey, Immaculate pitch, pretty sweet song. Kimmee sang Anymore. She was ok, entertaining. Judges liked her fire and confidence. Reuben shouted put your hands together before he sang Sweet Home Alabama. (go on a cruise ship with southeners and you’ll hear this song a million times at karioke). Did a good job, even smiled. Simon said he was infectious. Julia sang Breath, soft and mumbly. Judges said it was her best. It must have been hard to go on after her scathing criticism the previous week. But Clay was there to console her, kissing her during group songs and hugging and holding hands during Results Show. Hey Mr. Aiken, did she join your fan club? Does she regularly contribute to your charities? Does she do charity work, including Wrapping for Inclusion at a ToysRUs far away? Is she behind you in everything you do and what people do to you? Does she spend hours a day on the computer. following every news story or board message about you? Oh, got carried away there. Sorry. Last and never, never least, OMC singing the good ole country song, Wishing On Someone else’s Star. I wish he had done I’ve Got Friends in Low Places to knock everybody’s sox off, but no. Guess he doesn’t know how to swagger. His rendition was soft and full of longing. He got a standing ovation. Sweet smile. Judges said, very sweet, but identical to last week. Results Show: Filling Time to make 10 minutes into one hour show. --Translating Randy’s comments into English. --Talking about guest host and showing her comments. --Asking some of the competitors about their fellow competitors. Clay said Reuben owns the stage and that Jlo’s song was haunting and you get sucked into her music. --Questions from the audience (who cares????) One directed to Clay What movie star would you like to play you in a movie? I think he said Ryan, and then turned to others and asked if they know someone from “yahoo????” who looks like him. Ryan brought to close by saying Brad Pitt. --Group song: Where the sidewalk Ends. Clay paired with Trenyce. I’m Proud to be an American (going to be a patriotic song to be sold for the troops?) Clay kissed Julia and Klo teared up. --Bert Bacharack made out new arrangement for What the World Need Now is Love, Sweet Love and the group will make another single(this benefits the Red Cross). He told group to make it sensitive and asked Clay to sing first. Clay was happy to get a signed sheet of music, gonna show friends. Everyone was saved but 3, Kimmee, Julia and one other, Corey, Rickey????. Some thing happened to my download, so I will have to find out from other reviews. Bye!

Movie Tunes--AI2 Finals Do we have to see old pictures? Next week, Paula. Results given with singers’ paragraphs. How long was results show, three hours? How long can you drag it out, AI? Bottlecap: How do you know so much about Clay’s bedrooms? Mmmmmmmm? Ansa: the movie was Hollywood Homicide with Harrison Ford. Gonna rent it to see GK. Maybe she sings in it. Yes, I read all your reviews. Thanks, knocks my inferiority complex down a notch. But I got an excuse, ha, ha, just out of the hospital. Have to think of another excuse for next week. Guest judge was Gladys Knight. I love the lady and her music, but I think she was prompted in her comments. In all her Clay compliments, she said she doesn’t know where he would fit in (I’m paraphrasing) and I think the knickname for Reuben was planned, as well as the name sound. Since Reuben got a nickname, let’s give one to everybody! Corey Clark sang Against All Odds. I thought he was boring with no passion or style. One good high note. Didn’t move much. Carried a towel for “sweating”. Who does he think he is, Elvis? Randy good, Simon painful. Paula thought he took risks and moved nicely around the stage to please his fans. (see above). Nickname: I can’ t think of one. Results: One of bottom 3 but saved. Reuuuuuuben next with A Whole New World. As much as I think Clay should have won, this man does have a great mellow voice. I will have to do some research. How is he doing now? What will be his music longevity? Seems Kelly is hitting the stars and she worked for it. He needs medically to lose weight, his legs are like tree stumps. Judges raved, of course. Nickname: Let’s see. I think I forgot it, ha, ha. Results: You can guess. Trenyce sang I have nothing. Little Whitney imitation, but she interacted with the crowd and gave her best. Great red dress. Judges liked her, but Simon though dress made her look old. Nickname: Sultry Siren. Results: saved. Clay sang Somewhere Out There. Said he chose it because it showed his range and was from a movie for kids. Wore blue shirt and black pants, drool. You can now see those beautiful facial features. Yummy, want to kiss screen!!!! He stayed with the mic and looked so comfortable. Gave us a glory note. Randy: same old, where does that voice...... Paula: natural, effortless. Gladys: You all know it. Mystery, pure, etc. She did qualify it by saying she doesn’t know where he would fit. We know. Nickname: Sorry James, but it’s now Sweet Baby Clay. Results: Jump into that pool, Clay. I’ll save you, too. (What happened to him. I took my kid to the Y early on so he would learn how to swim. Clay worked at the Y. Did he not have an opportunity to learn?) Kimmee sang Shoop, shoop. Good voice, appearance, seems to be having fun, but not Cher. Judges, good, but Simon said she has not found her X factor, potential yet. Nickname: Her own cheerleader. Results: saved. Josh sang I don’t want to miss a thing. Strong country voice with a long note. Judges said best he ever sang, sang with his heart. Nickname: Sarge or Sergeant Country Results: Saved Carmen sang Hopelessly devoted to You. Twangy and boring. Nickname: Miss Perfection Results: Saved. Charles Grigsby sang You Can’t Win. Sadly prophetic. Pleasant, moved nicely, tried hard. Loved his hat. Nickname: Fashion Dude. Results: 1 of 3; sent home. Rickey sang It Might Be You. Tries, but doesn’t have the same quality as Reuben. I always liked him because of his upbeat personality, but I guess he could be wearing. Judges gave him high praise. Nickname: Mr. Sunshine. Results: saved. Julia sang What a Feeling. She tried hard to sell the song, some success. Judges said she lacked confidence. She seemed to come undone by this but rallied to talk to Seamonkey. Nickname: Chic Chick Results: 1 of 3, saved. Kim Locke sang Home with strength and feeling. Great job with a nice ending. Judges liked her dress, but I thought she looked lumpy. Nickname: Silky songstress. Results: saved. Clay looked so cute in the second group sing. The light showed his handsome profile. He looks so happy being there. He seemed to know how to move in a production. I guess the previous stage experience helped him. He’s such a darlin

Hi

Now you got me! I've read all of Deaver's books at my library. Got one of his quotations pasted above my computer. See, I try to write myself. I love to write stories and books for children, but have hard time submitting. Scared of rejection. Deaver said "rejection is a speed bump, not a brick wall." Great attitude, but I need an injection of determination. Love mysteries. Has anyone read Edna Buchanan's books? She was a journalist at a Miami paper and now writes about her experiences and fiction. I feel like I'm in Miami when reading her books. She writes about Cuban coffee and the last time I was in Miami, I had to have Cuban coffee, am now addicted. They also have quava pastries. Yum! My confession: I'm writing a Claymate Mystery. Got five chapters down. It is not fanfic as I've seen on other boards. I think it is unseemly to use Clay that way. It is about people who are fans of Clay. No romance here at all!!!!! Of course, my characters talk about Clay, buy pins and go to concerts, but they have their own lives. I may have Clay as a character at the end when mystery is solved, but very small reference. I have no plans to publish it, as I am using Clay's name. If it is good, I will send it to the fan club. If it is not that good, I still had fun writing.

Motown Review with Results Songs by Lamont Dozier, well known favs and easy(?) to sing, when you heard them, you’ll join in. Songs are happy even when love is lost. Great choice for opening session. Songs offer chance to singers to really emote, move and sing heart out. A video showing the contestants’ background was filmed to make contestant look good, naturally. Mostly repetitious, with hometown, family, friends, singing career and home welcome. Tried to make video heartwarming, generally succeeded. First up was Kimberly Locke. Video showed a happy girl with her loving family in a friendly town. She sang when she was a child and now leads church choir. She came out first, hot and sassy in a lipstick red dress. She sang Heatwave with pazazz. Screens showed flames in the back which inspired Simon to think of a Burger King commercial. Why be nice when being nasty makes you a well paid TV personality? As much as I dislike him, sometimes he’s right on. Other comments were lukewarm. Results: Kim was in bottom three, but saved. Next, Josh Gracin. Video showed all American boy, married to HS sweetheart, has a baby. Joined the Marine Corps to defend his country. Enjoyed base camp and friends. Whatever one says, country needs people like this. Can’t remember what he sang. but Motown didn’t seem like his best genre. Looks like a country boy. Critique so-so. Results: Saved Charles Grigsby. Video show Charles beloved by his home town and all. Sang How Sweet It is. Pleasant voice, only moving by pointing at audience. Critique less than lukewarm Results: Saved. Kimmee always wanted to perform (no kidding). Born in Texas and moved with Mom to Branson where she worked in the theaters. Isn’t this professional experience? Ok, it’s not the Olympics. Sang No Where to Run. Very comfortable, moving around stage. Sounds good. Judges liked her. Results: Saved. Rickey born in Wichita, but video only showed Keene College where he is loved by everyone even ducks. (I’ve always liked him and wish him well.) College Prez paid him to go to audition. Mom says he is a breath of fresh air. He sang 1-2-3- in white pants that made him look fat. Called nicest guy in competition. Sounded good. Pleased judges. (Why did Simon bring up homeless people and Rickey answered “you should see where I live.”? Results: Saved. Julia DeMato is another small town girl. Was a quiet, shy child says Mother. Works and enjoys hairdressing. Sang Where did our love Go. Was okay, Judges talked about how good she looked. Results: One of three with lowest votes. Then, an angel descended from heaven, sigh, aaaahhhhh. Ok, back to normal. Clay Aiken, mmmmm name is like honey on the lips. Why don’t they just let him sing every song??????? Ratings would skyrocket. He wore a stripped shirt (big surprise). He should have swapped shirts with Charles. Hair lightened a little more. Kidded with Ryan about flat irons and spray. Video showed Clay talking about his southern accent, (soothing to the ears) and living in capital City Raleigh. Camera showed a large colonial house with nice ground. Was that his family’s? A house like that in my neighborhood (Philadelphia suburbs) would cost a very pretty penny. Anyway, I’ll pass family stuff and go straight to Gonzo period where his love for children developed and decided his career of special education. I’ll shorten his comments to “It’s important that I make a difference to someone.....” He sang Sugar Pie Honey Bunch like it was written for him. Moved around the stage like he was having fun, very professional. Camera showed a row of straight haired blond friends rooting for him. After a darling lip bite, the judges et al gave him a standing O. Simon was booed down when he called his performance, Motown, the Musical (foreshadowing the future Broadway comments.) Results: What do you think????? Vanessa is an only child from Atlanta. Wants to be center of attention. Loves her little brother, animals and her pot belly pig. Is a hair colorist (What else? She practices on herself). Sang You Keep me hanging on. She is lively and entertaining as Simon pointed out. Results: One of three with least votes. Corey Clark a young man from San Bernardino who has traveled around the country. He wasn’t going to graduate from HS, but a few teachers helped him. He was “devastated” from Grand father’s death and father gave him the estate to run. His grand dad was a prominent police officer, the first black one in area. and there is a scrapbook of his good deeds and many certificates and pictures of GF with prominent people on the wall, He confessed that he plays around at night, but judges said that’s ok. He’s young. My opinion: if he had stayed home and practiced, he might have gone on farther. Sang This Old Heart of Mine. Judges good. One thing out of the ordinary, this time Paula did not echo Randy. She said a lot of nice things about Corey. Results: Saved. Carmen, a beautiful girl from Utah (a Mormon??) with the most perfect life. Great and loving family. Very talented, dances along with singing and goes to be taught every summer in NY by prominent dancer. Plays piano and guitar. (Starting to sing The hills are alive with a sound of music. What? Shut up. OK) She sang you can’t hurry love in a pair of cropped pants that made her look awkward when she moved. Judges Good +. Results: Saved. Trenyce is from Memphis and started singing at two and a half. Went into nursing school and left to start singing. Mom was disappointed but Trenyce promised to return. She sang Come see about me with panache and style. She is young, sultry with a voice to put over song. Judges very happy with her. Results: saved. Last and never least. Reuben is considered by parents as a blessing from God. Has a cute, bantering relationship with bro. Proud of Birmingham Alabama. He sang Baby I need your loving and did a great job. Got standing O. Ryan Seacrest is exaggerating his name so he now has his own signature name sound, RRRuuuuuben!!!!!!! Simon took opportunity to pitch Kelly Clarkson’s new album and said Reuben is same caliber. Final result: Klo and Julia were save and Vanessa went home, saying she hoped people would remember her for her fun and her talent. The whole group danced to Heatwave. It looked like Clay was looking down at Vanessa’s boobs, but I could be wrong. The group sort of divided into twos and Clay who was on one end, moved down to be Carmen’s partner. While the others were just sort of moving, Clay was eyefunking Carmen and dancing with her. Maybe I can lose weight, cut off some legs parts, let hair grow and bleach blond. move to Bountiful Utah, have plastic surgery, make a pact with the devil. Won’t work???? Oh well!!! KAndre: Don’t count exclamation points, huh? How about 23 in Clay’s paragraph and only 3 others in whole review. Ha,ha Bottlecap: Thanks for info. Ansamcw: Put me where I belong? A lot of people want to do that, but not as nicely as you.
