And, of course, it's amazing you got as far as you did. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure it was completely devastating, though.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-36497636811766353472008-06-16T07:28:00.000-07:002008-06-16T07:28:00.000-07:00I think I would have wet my pants the first time a...I think I would have wet my pants the first time and would have given up.

There's much MORE dancing and the talent is PHENOMENAL this year.

I knew I would never be able to handle it. Look at me and Cre8buzz for goodness sakes! I can't even stand THAT rejection. I may have become a different person if I had pursued it, a more hardened person, which may have been a good thing, but it's all in the past now. <BR/><BR/>Poor little eight year old you. I can imagine how that felt. I really can. But I can also see that you probably got a lot of your strength from these kinds of things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-84818606558435275052008-06-13T19:45:00.000-07:002008-06-13T19:45:00.000-07:00I am sitting here, so very sad for your 8 year old...I am sitting here, so very sad for your 8 year old self. :( <BR/><BR/>I thought Cody was good.Maríahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222253058280821035noreply@blogger.com
