The first four were voted off the preliminary rounds of AI: Melinda, Jared, Sarah, and Judd. Melinda looked like a Hispanic version of Kelly Clarkson. Although she wasn't the strongest vocally (she did sing a Celine Dion song, which you really shouldn't do - you're never going to sound as good as Celine!), but she did call Fox out on saying that other people get more face time and she wasn't one of those people. I was like, "You go girl!" Actually, none of the people that were voted off tonight got any pimp time. Gee, I wonder why they were voted off, says I in a highly sarcastic voice. Jared, I didn't care for, he was a little too boyband for me, though he was pretty. (He was probably gay - heh). Poor Sarah, I wish she had a second chance. I like her voice, I want to say she sounds like Martina McBride. She also had a unique look, someone on TWoP said she looks like a catfish, and yes, I do see it! And poor, poor Judd. Ryan was such an asshat. Judd was sitting in the front row, and Ryan assured them they were all safe and called the backrow up to the stage. Two by two he went through everyone, telling them they were safe until everyone had sat back down. Then he says to Judd, "You're out." Grrr! That's just mean to toy with people like that. God, stupid fucking asshat Seacrest! I liked Judd though. He kinda reminded me of Michael from Ten Things I Hate About You. He was goofy in a cute, endearing way and I liked how he got the audience to participate during Mustang Sally. He could have been our next JPL. :::sniff:::

I got an interesting e-mail today. It was from somebody who posts at Fiction Alley. Here's what it said:
Hey Mariposa! This is PrettyVeela from FictionAlley.

The Good Ship has reached it's 100th thread, the first ship to do so. We hope you take some time to sign in and say a quick hello to everyone, all the old heads are!

Hope to see you!

I was pretty surprised to see that she had found me since I hadn't posted since like two years ago, lol. But I went and said a quick hello. It's kind of a pain to post there because they fill up quickly and it's a lot to read. But OMG, what's really cool is that everyone kept spelling Hermione's name like HeRmiONe and I was the one who totally came up with that! I said "You can't spell Hermione with a R,O, and N!" So that legacy lives on! LOL. How cool! That's my shoutout! WHOOO!

There's even a poll, "What's your favorite R/H saying?" and mine is on it! It's winning second place:
We believe in trees! 47
Rocks don't speak. 20
It's so obvious! 15
R/Hr are puzzle pieces that fit. 6
Chocolate Body Paint. 9
HeRmiONe: You can't spell Hermione without Ron. 29
It's canon! 26

Aww!
