Yes! There's lots of shoving back stage. You have to slam people against the wall to get past them. We have a very small backstage so it's even more hectic. The last day of GSA we had this huge dancing/acting/singing performance with every student that attended it. It was like 80 people on the stage. We did "You Can't Stop the Beat." They had the theater people in the back because we sucked so bad at dancing! Hehe! I was right smack dab in the middle though. So the entire audience could see me messing up.
Oh sweet OZ! (I've adopted that from Wicked ^_^) I hate it when we're shaking everyone's hands after a show. We have to do a performance for the high schoolers as well and everytime the preppy girls walk by they say the same thing to me. "Oh Katherine! You look so good in make-up!" *slap* Hehe! It sucks a lot.

Ha ha... slamming people before they even perform... that would suck. That sounds fun... doing a dance to Can't Stop the Beat. I still haven't seen Hairspray. So You Think You Can Dance did a dance to it too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Kuzoa_Sqk I've been kinda obsessive about that reality show. I just wish I was as talented as those dancers... I wanna go to dance camp!! I feel jealous now. I would think it would be a good thing to shake hands or congradulate everyone on the cast... unless you utterly despise your fellow dancers... hee hee. I hated the preppy girls at my high school. If I had to dance with them, heck, I'd never wanna talk to them let alone shake their hand. People can be annoying... ha ha.

Oh wowza! That clip was fantastic. It was so cool. Ours was like.... really cheap. Haha! it was really fun though. Those dancers were pretty flippin sweet. The dancers at GSA were good too. They did this ballet performance at the showcase and it was brilliant. I would cringe every so often though because their toes would bend in the weirdest ways.
The night performaces are always fun for shaking hands. It's all the parents and they're polite. But the freakin high schoolers are so aggravating and disrespectful. I think our director might stop showing them the play because they're so rude. All I have to say is that they'll have to pay to see the night preformance. They get in free and all they do is sleep and yell random things out at people on stage. I really hate some of their guts. I said some because some of them actually enjoy watching the show. Wow.. sorry for ranting.

That's okay, as long as you're having fun. So You Think You Can Dance is a friggin' reality dance competition backed up by bijillions of dollars... I don't think anyone could put something on like that. I love watching ballet, just because I just understand how hard it is to pull off moves they do and I think it's just mesmerizing. I think I appreciate all kinds of dance, maybe that's why I love that show so much. Okay, here is the guy Neil I was talking about a while back... he's the guy with the no shirt on... hee hee.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSv2hQObs6I That wasn't my favorite dance, but that guy is so smexy, it's unbelievable. Good thing he's straight, or millions of girls would be terribly sad. lol. My fav was Sabra and she won! She's awesome. No worries... I know I'd hate to perform in front of people that don't care. It's hard. When I had to perform the Nutracker when I was younger, we'd have matinee shows for the elementary schools around the county. It was awesome! They're like little kids screaming when the King Mouse comes out and whatnot. And this one year, I was dancing one of the parts of a Marzipan and it's pretty uplifting music and then when the music came on, they started clapping to the beat and I couldn't stop smiling... until 30 seconds into it and the whole audience was off the beat, still clapping... ha ha. It was hilarious.

OH wow... Neil is very smexy indeed! Lacey's a lucky girl. Haha! I watched Pasha and Sabra's Broadway dance as well. That was really cool. I liked it better than Neil's and Lacey's Latin Jazz number. But Neil got my full attention! ^_^
We do shows for the elementary kids too! It is so great isn't it! We got fan mail from one school. And the school that I went to started clapping on our last song as well! It made me happy. I was like "Yep, that's my school." Haha! Whenever we would start fighting the kids would scream and yell out random things. Heck I was yelling out random things too. I'd be like "Knock his hat off!" or "Poke him in the eyes!" It was greatness. I would start laughing sometimes and that's really bad if you do that, but everyone was paying attention to the center part of the stage where the fatty fight between the good guy and the bad guy was going on. I'm quite proud of myself if that last sentence wasn't a run-on. Hehe!

Yeah, that Pasha and Sabra Broadway was awesome. I don't know how they got all that energy. My fav is the jazz with Neil and Sabra, just because it is awesome and I love the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaXrqYnvaPU Basically, I love those two. I think I ship them. But I also like this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ihnWNUjNFU And this is basically the most smexiest of the season: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih-NBbttiZA I have these songs on my itunes and much more of the season, they're so gooood.... gah. Sorry for the youtube overload, dance is so much fun to watch!! Yay for run-ons!! ha ha... I tend to do that too, but proper grammar also makes me correct myself, cuz it bug me so much. hee hee. I love audience interaction. Sometimes it's a little overwhelming to have so many people watching a performance, especially when you're in it. I dunno... it's a good feeling, I guess.

Oh my goodness! That dance with Neil and Sabra and the table was so cool! I loved it! That was the shiznit. The disco one was really fun to watch too. Well I guess any of them with Neil in it is fun to watch! ^_^ Lacey and Danny really got into it! I should call them Dancey! Haha! That was so cheap. Dance is super fun to watch! So is this season over?
It really gets on my nerves when I'm talking to someone face to face and they keep using the wrong verb tense. I have a huge urge to just yell out the right thing to them. When they do it once I'm fine but if they keep doing it it erks me. Erk? Whatever that means. Haha!

Who knew dancing with a table could be so smexy? ha ha. I would totally want to do the disco... it looks like fun. And do you realize that all the dances involve the girl to wear like, 4 in. heels? It's ridiculous. Dancey is the name they made up and it is a bit cheesy. It's basically a cheese fest. Yeah, the season finale results were last Thursday and Sabra won. Now I just download dances and watch them over and over again. It'll kill my computer. They're gonna be on tour soon... it's a good thing I'm leaving the country so I CAN'T go see them. I'm a little sad about that. Then again, I don't know why I didn't just get tickets to see a taping in L.A. I'm a little stupid like that. Oh, now I remember now... it's because I get easily annoyed at little squealing girls/teenagers. ha ha. Yeah, my dad does that a lot... where he doesn't pronounce things properly and it makes me annoyed like no other. I think the word 'erk' should be a real word, just because it does describe a feeling... lol.

Indeed it is so very smexy! ^_^ Was Neil a cheerleader or something? I'm guessing that's a really stupid question considering he did that hugish backflip. There is a guy at our school who is really good at gymnastics stuff, but he doesn't cheer. He's better than half of them. Those heels would kill me. Kudos to them for being able to dance in them. I think they're coming to WV. Near Huntington or something and that's not far from me but American Idol is coming to Huntington as well. I got tickets too! That amazed me because they sell out really fast. I wanted Jordin to win so.. woop woop!
My dad has a horrible sense of humor. He makes fun of stuff and says things that aren't funny and expects you to laugh. The other day I was watching the Fellowship of the Ring and he came up and said that J.R.R. Tolkein was on crack when he wrote it. I strongly disagreed with him. I told him he just had a really good imagination which in return he got mad at me for not laughing at his crap of a joke. I use erk a lot. We need to get that word in the dictionary.

I think Neil did just a lot of gymnastics and ballet/jazz ever since he was little. But he's so good at combining the talents. I wish I knew gymnastics... I remember only being able to do cartwheels on my left, never on my right... ha ha. I'm weird. I don't think he did cheer... my school never had guy gymnists, let alone people that could do real stunts. It was sad. Just wannabe dancers... as they say in Bring It On: "Cheerleaders are dancers who have gone retarded." Sorry, that was uncalled for, but that quote.... I just laugh at all the time. Ahh!! You must see SYTYCD on tour for me... ha ha. I'm so jealous right now. Maybe I'll ask for them to come by Florence on their American National tour. I'm going to make my cousin go see them, so she can try out for next season. She'd totally make it. I don't watch American Idol, just because I'm not too big on criting singing, dance is my thing. But, I do enjoy Kelly Clarkson... at least that show has potential and produces some good stars. Exactly... the whole family just sits there while the dad laughs at his own joke. Don't worry, I've experienced it quite a lot this summer. He also rants about reffing for soccer... I just don't care. I mean, I like watching soccer, don't get me wrong, but I just don't care for angst between refs... ha ha. So stupid. It's so funny, everyone that I know is freaking out about packing and scrambling to get everything together for Italy... I've got 6 more days...

The only thing I could ever do in gymnastics was a cartwheel! Haha! Quite a horrible cartwheel at that. When we were warming up for a ball game one time, the cheerleaders were doing all of their backflip stuff. So I ran out in the middle of the court and did a stupid roll into a retarded cartwheel. They gave me the death stare. It was great. Anywho that's a lovely new avatar. ^_^ And banner! I never really started watching American Idol until the third season. My sister got me hooked on it.
Last night the boys had their first football game of the season and we got cheated big time. My dad wouldn't shut up. It was really bad though. We were ahead by a touchdown and the other team was on 4th down with 17 seconds left then the reff says it's a first down. So the other team gets a first down for no reason and the reff gives them 8 more seconds on the clock. Then when they scored the reff closest to the play said it was incomplete and the reff that was in the corner of the end zone said it was good. Whacko! Haha! It was a bit odd.
6 days? Well have fun on that 647905 plane ride! *thumbs up*

Yeah... I pretty much envy someone that can do tricks. Is it called a somersault? I can do those, but only until my head hurts... hee hee. I remember my really mean ballet teacher would make us do those split jumps like the cheerleaders do... and I swear all of couldn't do it. Make us do 16 fouettes (turns) and we could do it, but not jump in the air and do splits.... ha ha. We were annoyed. I still can't do it... I think it's because I don't have enough air, or leg power. I wanna join the dance company on campus when I come back from Italy. I just want to perform again. They do ballet, jazz, and modern... and some weird cowboy dance... ha ha. I know the coordinator from the last year, so hopefully I'll get a leg in. Thanks for the compliment. I've recently discovered how to use Imageready and .gif to make animations on avis. I've been working on an animation where Neil is suppose to be grinding with Sabra for the hip hop routine, but he ends up just doing this tongue thing. He's so bad. And they didn't even use the move in the dance... how stupid. I made that banner awhile back... I started hating the last one and I missed seeing O/K. I think I've only been to like, two of my high school football games... both were for homecoming. I'm not a big one on football. I went to a lot for college, since they let us in for free and give us T-shirts. They call us students the Mustang Maniacs. They redid the stadium, which looks sooo awesome, but I won't be able to go to a game till next year. A train goes by the stadium too, and it honks it's horn when a game is going on.... it's pretty odd for a football game. Yeah... my roommate met up with some So Cal students going on her flight off of LAX... she bluntly said they were stupid. ha ha. So at least I know I'm not the only one suffering.

I think it is called a somersault. Bu they do all of this other crap too. Tucks are the coolest things I've ever seen. They stand straight up and just jump and tuck their legs into a backflip. What if you landed on your neck? That scares me. Toe touches suck major monkey embryo! Haha! They made us do that at GSA. They hurt so bad and especially for someone who can't even touch their toes. What is Keira doing in the last picture? It looks like she's smoothing Orlando's mustache. Haha!
I hardly ever go to any games either. It's bad of me too because a lot of the players are in my class. But I'm not intersted in sitting on a cold metal bench for 2 hours to watch us lose. We're not very good.
Have fun with the stupid kids then. Haha! I'd bring my iPod if I were you.

Yeah... if I did a tuck, I'd probably literally, kill myself. I just wish I could do it all. I mean, how do they DO it??? I need to know the secret... ha ha. With toe touches, you can kinda cheat... I think a lot of people do that. Like, it doesn't have to be a real split... you can lean forward and touch your toes. The only time you'd see it wrong, was if you saw your profile. I think Keira was pretending to smooth out Orlando's cheek... she only wanted to touch him so bad... lol. I think at the time he was still with Kate, you can tell he's super restraining himself by keeping his hands in his pocket... ha ha. I like to make up stories for pictures.... that's kinda bad. They're just sooooo cute together!! Let me hear an "Awwwwwwww." Yeah, sitting out there in the cold sucks soooo bad. I have to bring like, a blanket, two sweatshirts, and a scarf to the football games. I start out with a t-shirt and by the end of the game I have all that clothing on and I'm jumping around to keep warm. The weather is soo weird like that. I like the part of the football game when the pep band plays... sometimes I just watch them instead of the game... ha ha. Thanks, I will. I'm definitely bringing my shuffle... it's so cute and it's lasted me like, days until it needs to be charged, which is awesome. But then again, I don't want to make a bad impression and be super anti-social. Because no one wants a Debbie Downer.... ha ha. I love that SNL skit.

There are some cheerleaders that can do the backflip with the twist in the air. I think it's called full. I'm not sure but those things are wicked. It looks so cool. That's what she's doing! Haha! Orlando tried really hard to keep his hands in his pockets at the press conference after the DMC London premiere too. "Awwwwwwwww." ^_^
I wear a sweatshirt and bring a blanket. When it starts getting colder I bring two blankets; one to sit on and one to use. Cold bleachers feel like your butt is being eaten by frost bite. It sucks. I don't think any high schools have a band near us though. So I have no entertainment except to watch the cheerleaders screw up.
I love Debbie Downer! Haha! The one when they were at DisneyWorld was the best. But Lindsay Lohan was the host. She has hosted so many shows. They should get Orlando and Keira on there!

I remember in studio watching this ridiculous clip of Russian gymnasts that did these amazing balancing/acrobatics on each other... and then we decided to project it onto the wall during class while the professor was in.... ha ha. Everyone just stopped and watched. It was hilarious. I promise, college is NOT like that all the time. Yeah, I remember that photocall for DMC in London. It was sooo cute. They seriously need to take another photocall/photoshoot together. Yeah, I know the feeling. When I came home for winter break, I'd watch some of my brother's soccer games... one night it was soo cold, that I my butt and my hands were numb. I was wearing a friggin' sweatshirt, scarf, hat, gloves and parka and I was still freezing. That's when hot chocolate saves the day. Ha ha.... I like watching cheerleaders screw up too. Yeah, I remember that skit. It was wonderful. I've never been to one of those morning meet and greets. I don't like Lindsay anymore... but yeah, she tends to host a lot. Definitely... Orlando and Keira need to do some. Seriously, they're really good at thinking and acting on the spot.

I enjoy watching the Olympic gymnastics. Those are the best of the best. They're so perfect at everything! Yes I know! I think everyone is having Orlando and Keira depravation since Keira didn't go to any of the AWE premieres. I hope they go to the Nickelodeon thingy in London. I have a strong feeling that Keira will get nominated for an Oscar for Atonement and Orlando usually goes to the after parties. So.. fingers crossed!
I would have gloves too but the coldness would find its way in. The hot chocolate definitely helps. Especially with the mini marshmellows! Mmmm. ^_^
Have you watched Bronx Beat with Amy and Maya? Those are so funny. They say the most random things and they're so redundant. It's great. I don't why but I think Keira is funnier than Orlando. Orlando has got some funny moments but Keira's facial expressions and randomness make me laugh more.

Yeah, same here.... gymnastics is my most favorite summer olympics event. I wanted to go to the Beijing games in '08, but I've been to Beijing in August and it's the worst... it's incredibly humid, you can't stop sweating. And it stinks... ha ha. Plus, I'll be poor by then because I've bought too many gelatos. lol. Yeah, I feel the deprivation right now. It sucks. Why couldn't she just go to the premieres?? It was the last movie for her, so I would think it would be special. Ah well... can't rewrite history. Here's to them meeting up in London and at the Oscars!! I think Keira is in Venice right now for Atonement... I missed her by like, a day. Darn. I think the cast from Heroes is around Paris... maybe I'll see them in Charles DeGaulle... ha ha... I'm so hopeful, it's sad. Mmmm!! MINI MARSHMELLOWS!! Lovely. My gloves are woren (sp?) out... I'm going to buy nice leather ones in Florence. Omg, I can't believe in less than 24 hours I'll be on a plane to Paris!! It's sounds romantic, but it's not... ha ha. I don't recall Bronx Beat, but it sounds funny. Amy can be soooo white trash, it's ridiculous. lol. I think they're equally funny... I can't really compare, just because they haven't done much in comedy.

China Town was really stinky as well. That's the closest I'll ever get to going to China though. Haha. Wait, gelatos are the heels right... or am I getting confused with stilletos... or am I being stupid. Haha. I was so excited for you with the whole Keira Venice thing. Maybe she'll stay a couple of days longer. You're not that far from Venice. Buy an apartment there and drive/take a boat back to Florence for school! Haha, that's so unrealistic.
Yes mini marshmellows! ^_^ I think you mean worn? Hahaha! Yeah, leather ones would be lovely. I've always wanted to go to Paris. Have fun! ^_^ I mean that non sarcasticly. *thumbs up*
Amy and Maya are these 2 women in Bronx who have their own talk show. They complain about everything. It's great. I loved it when Amy would do Kaitlyn. That was so funny!

Uh.... gelato is like fattening ice cream... ha ha. I had one every other day here. I'm not fat though, because I do so much damn walking. I walk, from like, 9 AM- 5 PM and then at night, 9 PM-1 AM. It's ridiculous. Yeah, I would be completely broke if I bought an apartment in Venice. I haven't got the time to look at Keira's Venice pictures... are they good?
I don't think they have mini marshmellows in Firenze. That sucks. I was in my 4 hour lay over and then a bunch of us were watching people pass by and we got so bored that we counted how many people walked by with striped shirts. There were a lot. I'm glad I brought my striped shirts... they're the coolest.
I miss SNL... ahhhh!!! Well, no. I lie. ha ha... I was watching Grey's Anatomy in Italian the other day. It was horrible. Plus, they're a year behind too, so I had seen the episode already.
