Canadian Pride!

[_billyklippert_]

Dudes, I'm so proud of our country: in the past week, our national hockey team brings home the GOLD in the WORLD CUP (oh hockey, how i will miss you) and MANITOBA LEGALIZES GAY MARRIAGE. Which is, you know, FUCKING AWESOME.

Oh, and the second Canadian Idol has been crowned. That's kind of cool, too.

*blushes, changes the subject*

So, what Gordon Lightfoot song are you listening to?

[_billyklippert_]

"If you could read my mind". Although I told myself I'd stop listening to it after it almost screwed me over that one time. Oh well. Great song.

[k_porter]

Great song. And your version of it was awesome.

[_billyklippert_]

*laughs* Believe it or not, that was one of the hardest things I've ever done. When I was auditioning? Completely blew my voice on that song. Couldn't even talk anymore. So conquering it was important.

Thanks. Your version was fucking fantastic too.

[k_porter]

I remember that. My sisters made me watch CI, I swear!

*laughs a bit* Thanks. Apples and oranges, eh?

[_billyklippert_]

I audtioned as a joke. Funny how these things work out. Then I just got so sucked in to this year's: it's like a sick addiction. You'd think I would have been done with the franchise after all the crap, but no: you just keep going back. It's fucking ridiculous.

Haha...yeah kid. I guess it was.

[k_porter]

That's how Jacob ended up in Idol, too. Funny how these things follow a pattern. Does that make me Ryan?

[_billyklippert_]

Did he? Haha...oh, that's funny. He was extremely talented, that one.

I don't know...do you weigh less than a sack of potatos, dance like you're stomping roachs and have an overblown adoration for Avril Lavigne?

[k_porter]

Yes, he certainly is.

Yes, probably and thank god, no.

[_billyklippert_]

Probably a very good thing then: Malcolm's been whining about how you're replacing him in every way. I tell him not in every way but once he goes all fucking emo and shit it's really hard to stop him.

[k_porter]

Has he? Ugh. I can't replace anyone and I don't want to. He can keep the title.

[_billyklippert_]

*laughs* Malcolm's a nut. It's only been what, three weeks? Hating it already?

[k_porter]

Knock some sense into him for me, will you? Not even three weeks yet, has it? I don't know. I don't hate it, but I'm sure that you got to see what it was like for Ryan. And I'm sure it was hard, right?

[_billyklippert_]

*laughs again* I don't know, Malcolm liked the experience, I think, so I was happy for him. The only downside was that he was busy and I didn't get to see him for long stretchs of time. That was the only hard part.

[k_porter]

It's a neat experience, but it sort of sucks too. Being away from home and my family and all. Hopefully I'll enjoy it eventually if Ryan did...touring might be kinda cool.

[_billyklippert_]

Don't say I didn't warn you guys: didn't I tell you that you should all aim for third? Anyway, best of luck kid: I'm sure it'll be great for you in due time.
