See, I love Travis and Benji and Ivan all! But Dmitri and the other guy, NSM. The girls...well, I hate Heidi because of her scrunchy face, and I only liked Martha for a moment, when she referred to herself as "diesel" (hee! she does have amazing Tina Turner arms!), but the other three, I like them OK, but I"m not all "Eeee!". The boys, I'm like "EEEE!" Travis was SO CUTE last night! And Ivan is adorable! And so is Benji!

I love Travis and Benji. I like Ivan, but he was kind of weak yesterday. I don't really like Dmitry or Ryan. I love Allison and Donyelle and Heidi (I don't like her face, but her smile is infectious and love the way she can do everything). I like the other one a lot too. I liked Martha early on, but recently her dancing hasn't done much for me.

It is so funny that I am critiquing these dancers, because I think the worst of them is so immensely better than I could ever hope to be.

OMG, yes--I have never been that coordinated, flexible, or in shape, that's for damn sure! They're all so pretty to look at! But it's funny how much their personalities come through, even if they didn't have the non-dancing bits on TV.

I knew Ivan was a baby (he's 18 and looks 12!) but OMG I just looked at the show website and saw that Travis is 18 also!!!! Dear lord, it's a good thing I don't know any 18 year olds that look like that, I'd be in danger! Goodness!

I am libkitty. As I said in Natter, I am so happy with the bottom two guys and girls. I've been so-so on Heidi, but I thought she was awesome last night, as was Travis.

Just for you, -t

Thank you! That's wonderful.

typing on Treo keyboard is hard, esp with too little sleep and too much travel. Brackets and glitter and appropriate words for all.

I'm going to have to see an episode of "Dance" one of these days. Tripping the light fantastic always looks like good fun. I wish I did more dancing myself but alas, I am clumsy and DH would probably rather eat a bug than dance. Makes things difficult.

Jars, the big Comic-Con is happening right about now. There's got to be scads of fabulous merchandise available there... (wistful drooling). Oh well. Maybe I'll get there myself one of these years.

Totally loving JZ's stories today: THIS MUCH.

Nicole, I have the cell number you were using when you were F2Fing. I think we're set. I have a phone but I never turn it on unless I want to make a call. Perhaps I'm a bit of a Luddite in the matter.

Going on vacation without telling anyone where you live? Niiiiiice. See where that crap will get you if it turned out something bad had happened instead, turkeyboy.

(waves) Bye everybody. See you in a week or so.

Prepare for it...

Really. Any votes for jingoism?

This would imply that the person asking the question needs something a wee bit stronger than caffeine at this point.
