"i don't look like a monkey"

Observations while watching the American Idol auditions:

1. I miss watching them with Laura. We would convulse from laughter, gasping for air and make proclomations of "going to hell" (us, not them.) Now we text. Not quite the same.

2. Makes me wonder, which I frequently do, "how do people get like that?"

3. Pink mesh netting does not disguise sausage arms. Or legs. Please, no matter how punkalicous you are: don't. do. it.

4. Wherever you go, whoever you are, you will find a friend. The world, it turns out, is not that cruel. (See title of this post).

5. If your boobs are so big that they visibly swing back and forth as you walk, newsflash!, you need a bra. Always.

6. Yelling is not singing.

7. You do not need to wear a costume to get noticed. Unless you want people to laugh at you. Title of the show?

8. If you believe, try and try again. Sometimes the third time is a charm.

9. Singing the part of the Cowardly Lion is not going to get you to Hollywood. Not on this show anyway.

10. Count your blessings friends. We are a very fortunate, lucky group.
