Clay Aiken - Master of Androgeny

Wha huh?

[Moonshot]

Pamela - I'm registered at Promosquad

Well frankly, I don't blame a bunch of guys for not wanting to be stranded on an island with Clay Aiken.  I don't want to be stranded on an island with Jessica Simpson either.

Here's an interesting article from FLY magazine from December, 2005.  I'd never seen it before.

FM: Another thing that’s changed is that you’ve become this full-on sex symbol for a lot of people!

CA: That part scares me! I haven’t wrapped my head around that. [laughs] That just frightens me. I’m worried about America’s taste! [laughs] That’s probably something I’m not ever going to quite get. It’s flattering, so I won’t complain, but I’m baffled.

It's so sad that he's baffled by the fact that we all find him sexy. I mean in some ways it's good because he's not getting a big head about it or anything but still it's kind of sad.

FM: You’re almost becoming as known for your humanitarian work as you are for your music. Why is that so important to you?

CA: I kind of came into this not necessarily wanting to or knowing how to be a celebrity or whatnot. I mean, I was a teacher! And I made a promise to myself as I did it. “If I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna try to be something other than self-serving.” I think that every single person who’s in this industry and who’s a celebrity and making money off the public – I make my money directly from the public – has the responsibility to pay them back in some way. I think each person in my position is a role model whether they want to be or not. Somewhere out there are kids who look up to you. And some people take that seriously, and some people don’t. To me, I don’t understand why people don’t take it seriously.

UNICEF does amazing work. I thought I was a worldly person, and then I started working with them and realized I don’t know as much of my world as I need to. And if I don’t know as much about my world as I need to, then many, many, many people don’t. So I’m thrilled to be in a position to be able to talk about it. And so I’m gonna.

Makes you love him even more doesn't it?

Micki thank you so much for bringing that over!!!

omigod-you would not believe what is going on at my company. The boss Billy is kicking out his partner John- the one who has been trying to get everyone jobs. Everyone has to get out tonight-they are changing the locks. There is still stuff in my old office that I was going to turn over to either one of them once they figured out what was going on- accounting information so that they could get their taxes done.
I was supposed to meet with them tomorrow to do this.

Its a bloodbath- there is a skeleton crew except for the loan officers and processors-and they are going to be working for a new company as of Monday- they have been sort of working with them now. Which is probably why Billy is kicking them out.

You would NOT believe what has been going on- it is really scary stuff-the animosity between the two former partners. What a shame!

Marilyn that sounds so HORRIBLE! I'm so sorry things have happened like that!

I just read in a survey that Raleigh is the 3rd-most educated city in the US.

I wonder why they didn't ask me....

Susy - I was on Promosquad and they just had me listen to a song from High School Musical!  I told them I loved it.

EVENING.  JUST GOT BACK FROM TAKING ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS TO DINNER FOR HER BIRTHDAY.  NOW I AM SO FULL.  WE DID A FONDU PLACE.  FUN.

SO, CAROL.  PPROMOSQUAD WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WERE FAMILIAR WITH CLAY AIKEN?  THAT IS BEYOND FUNNY. 

I LOVE THAT CLAY DOESN'T GET THAT HE IS SEXY.  IT MAKES HIM EVEN MORE DESIREABLE.     IF THAT IS POSSIBLE. 

I REWATCHED THE STANDARD INTERVIEW.  CLAY IS SO ARTICULATE AND PASSIONATE ABOUT THINGS.  ANOTHER THING I LOVE ABOUT HIM.

Did they have chocolate??

[WilsonClaymate]

Hi Everybody

I see we are still growing by leaps and bounds.  That's great.

I had all sorts of computer problems last night.  I think I have finally got most of them straightened out (probably an overload of Clack).  I'm running a backup now because I sure don't want to lose everything I have saved recently.

GWEN - Congratulations on your student's accomplishment yesterday.

MARILYN - I'm so sorry for what you are having to go through.  At least when I lost my job a couple of years ago the company was closing so everybody was in the same boat.  I am sure you will be a survivor just like I was.  GOOD LUCK.

TO ALL YOU LADIES WHO WERE ON THIS AFTERNOON -  You crack me up.  It really makes my afternoons when I get to check in from time to time.

I STILL HOPE WE GET SOME NEWS "VERY SOON" NOT "QUITE SOON".

[GWENN]

WE DID A FONDU PLACE.

Did they have chocolate??

OH, YES.  FOR DESSERT WE HAD FLAMING "TURTLE"---MILK AND DARK CHOCOLATE WITH PECANS AND WINE FOR DIPPING FRUIT AND CAKE.  ALMOST BETTER THAN SEX. 

GWENN

[Sundancer]

OH, YES.  FOR DESSERT WE HAD FLAMING "TURTLE"---MILK AND DARK CHOCOLATE WITH PECANS AND WINE FOR DIPPING FRUIT AND CAKE.  ALMOST BETTER THAN SEX. 

Why choose? Surely, you could find a way to combine the two.

From austinclaymate at OFC (reposted w/permission) :

Okay, so I found a link to  Kyle Jacobs myspace (be sure to check it out  ) where it says "Other artists whom have recorded Kyles songs include Lee Brice, Plumb, Clay Aiken and Joy Williams." So I sent him a message asking about Clay and he responded!! Here's my message, and then his:

I wrote:
On your profile it says you've recorded with Clay Aiken--is that for his new CD coming out? What songs have you recorded with him? Thanks! Your songs are great!!

thank you for your interest in my music...which song is your favorite on my profile...?

Here are the lyrics :

I can see you standing in the pouring rain
Waiting for
changes to carry you away
I can see the light fall from
your eyes
As we get lost in the tears of this goodbye

But you can't go farther
Than my heart can
go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Through the
sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with
you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me

I can hear you laugh
When I close my eyes
I
can picture your face
And the strength inside your smile
I can see the words
Dance across your lips
I'll
remember forever
Something more than this

And
you can't go farther
Than my heart can will go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Thought the sadness
and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
Fom me

So you can't go farther
Than my heart will go
Cause I'll still be loving you
Thought the sadness
and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me

And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me
That has taken you
From me

[Sundancer]

I can see the words
Dance across your lips

Oh, pretty lyrics.

Thanks for bringing this over, Meesa.
