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.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Kristen, I'm sorry. But yes, what Strega said is the important thing to remember.

Strawberry disappointment.
I'm sorry Kristen.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'ma go kick the Disney gates in protest!
Sorry you didn't get it Kristen. You are a rocking talented chica, though!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Kristen--fuckity. But you are a finalist, which as you know is a HUGE thing. It puts you in a teeny tiny talented elite.

Condolences on the (sorta) bad news, Kristen. But given how much of a narrowing-down process was involved, and the connections you made at the interviews, I bet it will still pay off down the line.

Well, crap Kristen. Disney's lamer than a thing that's really lame but like everyone else said you made it to the finals which is rockin' good.
Allyson, that picture sounds too cute.
