Wow, that's great! When are you going?

Ooh, I got a cookie!

August 9-14. I've never been off the east coast.

Or the tightness of your corset, semi-expertly tightened by moi.

Hey, if they're going to make cute off the shoulder and halter type thingies, I'm going to need a corset. That's just the way it is. So what if I can't sit and breathe at the same time?

anonymous June 30 2005, 20:31:56 UTC

Yay you!
Congrats and have fun!

(& y'all are the cutest team ever, btw.)

blackstone July 1 2005, 22:42:20 UTC

Yeah, how about those cute boys? If you can't terrify them with talent, crush them with cuteness!

Will you be there?

asthecrowflies July 3 2005, 16:43:49 UTC

i'mma need to stay put this year - i'm in a really weird place with Slam still, but maybe it'll pass - the last IWPS helped some, tho'.

spread up the love out there, woudja? if ABQ is anything like the lovefest that February's competition was, i'll wanna be back in fer shur next year, right?

y'all kick ass out there, ok?

blackstone July 3 2005, 22:46:04 UTC

We will! We are planning on being very serious about having fun in ABQ.

I can see why people burn out of slam, so I am striving to keep a healthy attitude about it. When I first decided to slam, I told myself that if I wasn't any good or it wasn't fun, I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't feel badly about it. So far it's fun and I'm improving, so I'll stick with it.
