I didn't find anything (gasp!) except for your awesome, hilarious, poignant, and very very sweet blog.<BR/><BR/>I love you so much for embracing the goofy shlockiness of the moment not only by coming and getting emotional with me, but also for making a damn SIGN with my picture on it! You know you are just like me, girlfriend. A closet sap.<BR/><BR/>I love you so much for getting me like you do. I love you for knowing me so damn well and being able to put into words EXACTLY what that night was like. What this whole experience was like.<BR/><BR/>I was watching the footage today when I got home and was seriously having a split-personality moment where I was actually pissed that it was me I was watching because I SO wanted to make fun of myself for being so damned melodramatic. And then I got even more frustrated when later in the evening I saw my little miniature five-year old version of myself (my daughter Devon) displaying eerily familiar antics: <BR/><BR/>"Mom," she sobbed, dramatically, "I'm just so sad..."<BR/><BR/>"Why, sweetpea?" I asked her, genuinely concerned at why she was working herself up to real tears.<BR/><BR/>"Because, last summer ... *sniff* *sob* ...when we were at the pool where the frogslide was... *snort* *snuffle*...I just missed Raymond so much."<BR/><BR/>You don't even need to know that the pool where the frogslide is is where we vacation every summer or that Raymond is her best friend at school that she had just seen three hours earlier to know that I have created a melodramonster. But hey, I plan to support her dreams all the way to the Oscar stage if that's what she wants. <BR/><BR/>I do want to go on record to underscore and completely agree with two things you said:<BR/><BR/>(1) They were absolutely real tears. (Although I was aware of the fact that NBC was most likely drooling down their First Sunday sweatshirts over what good TV we were all making for them with all that raw emotion.)<BR/><BR/>(2) More than half of my choir was also snarking under our breath in rehearsals about that creepy "Silent Night, Deadly Night" voting music.<BR/><BR/>Love you, girl. SOOOO glad you were there.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>LiimuLiimuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500191546997263087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086564.post-37280675599055775752007-12-20T15:38:00.000-05:002007-12-20T15:38:00.000-05:00Oh, she is WONDERFUL, danator! it made me tear up....Oh, she is WONDERFUL, danator! it made me tear up.FirstNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387748372500478809noreply@blogger.com
