[cortnie330]

so miracoulsy mary and I got tickets to so you think you cand ance for a second time. it was so amzing. we got there super early like 930ish or so i think. then i dore ont he freeway for hte first time with out my dad! it was so not scary......even though we ha da little bit of traffic we still amde it there in time. benji's dad was alredy in line and so were a few other people. thne made a sign for benji ont he back of the one i had made with the girls for travis and beji's dad came over and we chatted with him for a while and practiall learned benji and heidi's life storeis. it was pretty funny. but he was really nice to us. they are first cousins i learned btw. thne we waited for a long time and finally got to go in. then we walked in and they were still putting ppl in the cool places and we got to be right at the stage on the right. like we could rest our arms ont eh actual stage. then the dnacers cmae out and did liek a millin takes of the group dances. the first one was a shane sparks hip hop routine and it hought it was great. so in between i chatted with benji and stuff. he was sooooo nice. like ti was so wierd to see how these ppl act on tv and how they act in real life. i also got ot talk with natalie for a while baout the show. i guess she has had a lot of injuries and actually thought it was time for hersle fot be out cause she was in so much pain. it thought she was amazing so i was sad to see her go. then i got to talk with ryan for a little while. he seemed like the sweetest person in the world. benji was like a huge goof off. travis was really serious and focused and kept worrying about other ppl's hair. lol martha seemed bitter about having been voted off. ally was in a lot of paina nd almost didnt' perform. heidi seemed like a sweet girl. donny seemed nice too. joy, jessica, and jamyz really liked to interact with the crowd and chat wiht us.ivan was pretty funny adn he tried to ge the crowd to do the wave. and i can't really remember much else about the others. so the tapings were so much fun and we got to go to a second one and then we got to have seats for that one cause we were so tired. lol.

after we went ot the cheesecake factory and ate and we wee like talking because these girls said that the dancers come to the grove afterwards and hang out there. at dinner i told mary there was no chance that the dances would ever come to the grove cause everyone would like stalk them and it would never happen. and like right ater i said that we see benji's dad and bro and then we tlak outside and donny and dmitry are stanfding right in fornt of us. oops. lol ironic .....then we ran back into the cheesecake factorya nd ran upstairs so maybe we could meet benji again and ran into the hallway where the bathrooms area and l;iiek casually came out aand walked back downt he staris but he wasn't there. lol ahhhh to feel lik i'm in junior high again. then we were driving out and mary sees dmitry and screams out the open window at him as we speed away. it was pretty funny. but it was sucha "benjiriffic" night! 9ok so you really had to be there for that one :-)
