Bah. I didn't wish you luck because I have a history of jinxing people when I do that. But you ARE a finalist, and I think "not a total loss" underplays the amazingness a tad. Out of how many thousands, you were in the top, what, twenty? That's not a fluke.
I think you are entitled to mope for a day or two, but after that you have to remember that the whole thing has been an endorsement of your skills, not a rejection.
And when the winners are officially announced, we'll hunt them down and take care of them for you. "Say, nice fellowship you've got here. Shame if something... happened to it."
{{{Kristen}}} I'm so sorry, but what everyone else said is totally true, you rock!
Like they all said, Kristen. It does suck, but you do rock, and seriously -- what Strega said:
Out of how many thousands, you were in the top, what, twenty? That's not a fluke.
Kristen, I'm sorry. But yes, what Strega said is the important thing to remember.
Well, FEH! Sorry it turned out that way, Kristen, but keep knocking 'em dead.
Given that it's Disney, I wouldn't be surprised if the dark was a negative factor. Their loss.
Kristen - I'm sorry you didn't make it -- totally THEIR loss!
Allyson - that picture of your nephew and the dogs sounds completely adorable.
Kristen, they were obviously smoking the monkey crack. And Strega is wise:
Out of how many thousands, you were in the top, what, twenty? That's not a fluke.
I'ma go kick the Disney gates in protest!
Sorry you didn't get it Kristen. You are a rocking talented chica, though!
Kristen--fuckity. But you are a finalist, which as you know is a HUGE thing. It puts you in a teeny tiny talented elite.
