Wee! Responses rock my world, especially hand-written responses. Those give my world an earthquake. ^_^ I still need to write out that new batch still. But I think I'll wait to buy stationary until I get, if I get, repsonses. But everyone else uses notebook paper!? Darn, I could've saved a bunch of money if I knew that. Oh well. Yeah, I won't consider my second batch a true post-nationals. And lol at Megan's batch number. That tickled my funny bone a bit. :lol:

Oh man. Nearly everyone does NCAA bets at my school. I don't, because I'm a good boy and all that. ^_^ If the higher authorities ever found out about that, there'd be so many fines it wouldn't be funny. :mellow: But if I had to place a bet on who would reply to mine soonest, it'd probably be either Bianca or Ashely just becasue their from Ohio and it's really close to Wisconsin compared to Flordia, Cali, or Texas. But that's just a totally random guess. :D

Ooo, betting. Ehh, I'm not a betting man, for food it's fine but for money I don't care for it. Even if I were old enough I wouldn't do it. I don't have any money anyways either. Oh well. I just hope I get at least one reply, that'd totally make my day for a while. ^_^

Well, I don't think they will bother too much with that. I think they put it up so if anyone went in there and saw bad stuff, they couldn't complain to higher authorities that it was in there. And probably just to protect people from outside viewing who may complain. Or something like that. Wee! I just checked the USPS site and it said it only takes 3 days to mail to FL (the farthest state I sent fanmail to) so I'm pretty sure all of the gymnasts I sent to will get it today! Yay! ^_^

Here's the link he gave but it's currently not working at the moment, guess was a wee bit too late. Hopefully he'll get it back up. If I get anymore different links to it'll I'll post them. But if you want it nonetheless, here it is: Clickity (Temp. Down)

I totally get your point there, Jason. Now that it's been to "18+" I feel really bad for going there, but that's just me because that's how I am. ^_^ I won't post there, but I would like to hear some gossip and maybe some info about videos and other media. And surprise, surprise. Nationals wasn't in the top 20 for Neilsen Ratings and it's official. Just in case anyone wanted to know for sure. EDIT: The link for nationals doesn't work for me at the moment. It's on the hub but it's 400mb. I'd download it and yousendit for you and anyone else who'd want it, but that's quite a download and my mom might get a bit suspicious. :D

:o Oh no! Peer pressure, I don't like the sound of that. I am feeling kind of left out of everything though :closedeyes: ...Maybe I'll sign up only never post there.

Yeah, I totally agree that people do forget thet are normal people. That kind of gets to me when they want someone to get hurt, that just not right. Not just gymnastiics, but all sports. Quite sad. But personal pics are usually always fun to look at because like you said, they're just being normal. ^_^ Umm, yes I do have AIM, but I rarely go on. I'm still in the process of making a new s/n, but my current on is JagsTrack45. I'll try to get on sometime but like I said, I'm rarely on it. Random Fact: A person on Priess' site signed the guestbook under the name "Holly Vise". I don't know if that's how Hollie spells it but that's a bad attempt at poserism. :lol:

Yeah, GGMB went down and is at a new spot, but to see it you need to signup, but to sign up you need to be 18+. So I guess no GGMB viewing for me. *Sigh* :closedeyes: It did have some nice insider info though. And hope you can download the hub soon and get help to set it up, I was quite amazed how useful it is. Maybe ask your dad if you can download it? But if you can't and are really desperate for videos, I could probably put some on yousendit until you get the hub. And let me tell everyone, stationary is the absolute hardest thing to pick out. People started looking at me strange at store because I was looking at them and for how long I was doing that. But I finally got a good one, so those two hours of deciding was worth it. ^_^

Wee! Finally can get connected to the hub now I have access to all of the vids; the hub is quite cool! And I found that my Nastia montage is being shared, that makes me feel a bit good. Go me. :D Anywho, I'd so like to join that contest too. Lord knows I couldn't afford a Junior video with all the money I spent on letter stuff yesterday to send to the gymnasts. But if I had the money, I would surely buy it. And oh my gosh, Megan. That's such an unbelievably adorable pic of Tessa! ^_^ EDIT: w00t! Jr. videos are finally up! The first one I downloaded was Priess' fall on bars and let me tell you that did not look un-painful. I feel soooo bad for her.

lol @ Thomas. Yeah, I guess that would be pretty funny to see him fall on stuff and people. :lol: Gosh. That's nothing like Wisconsin, except football being our passion much like Oklahoma. We don't have many famous people from here that I know of (Georgia O'Keefe, Harry Houdini, and Frank Lloyd Wright are the only ones that come to mind). But where I live there is only 1 gymnastics center, which I'm thinkng about getting a job there, but that's a whiles away from my house. We also have the YMCA but that's just...something else. There literally isn't another gym for 50+ miles from Green Bay, so there aren't very many gymfans compared to elsewhere, or as far as I can see. So pretty much we have football and if you don't like that, than your an outcast. We even have a class that is pretty much Fantasy Football. :blink: I hate to say it but we have a bland sporting community up here, but a passionate one nonetheless. Oh well, we have Packer's and that good enough for me for now. ^_^ Go us! But I wish they would make a tour this year so I could see some live gymnastics, that'd be awesome if they made one for 2005. And that's cool that pretty much every girl has been to gymnastics once in their life. Yeah, definitely 2 hours would be fun to watch with more than 4 gymnasts. I mean, no offense even though my favorite gymnast was one of them, it gets rather boring only hearing about them when there is a whole lot more competition that what it seems. Even adding Juniors would make it better to watch.

I guess that's why I can't do a piked sit, I haven't worked on my legs in literally a year. My legs started hurting after riding a bike down the road last week, got to start running again. We have a speech contest also, onyl it's called Forensics. It's kind of cool how well they speak. Lord knows I'd never excel in that. By myself yes but with others no, too nerve-wracking. I guess I would have to be there, but I could picture how it'd be funny to see a really good handstander compared to a bad one. ^_^ Yeah, I only heard one advertisement for it and it was during a sports break on NBC during Volleyball. Not going to attract much there. And I can't believe no stations around here did anything on it, even with Chellsie living in Wisconsin. And I saw a little snipplet in like page 5 of the Sports section just about Nastia. Oh well, at least there's some people who like gymnastics; I hate saying I'm a gymfan at school becasue I'm afraid I'll be considered a bit awkward. Oh well.

Rohan looks quite strong. He must have quite the abs and arm strength to do that pose, I've tried that and it's not easy and I have good ab strength. ^_^ Must be nice to know a high-ranked gymnast. If anyone's interested, here are the glorified Neilsen Ratings for Nationals this weekend: Saturday's Article: Clickity Sunday's Article: Clickity Gah, those ratings are terrible, I can't wait to see the actual statistics. If this keeps up, I'm not too sure how long gymnastics will be shown on regular TV except for the Olympics. We even lost to a no-name movie on Saturday.

Yeah, I think it is a pretty good selection, thanks! Woah, congrats to him! That must've been quite a shock to hear he actually went. I'm not to sure about the number for Level 9, so I can't help that question. Yeah, I was kind of confused by American Twister's. I guess Jana used to go to AT becasue it has a bio but hasn't been updated in a year and it's not in teh city of Boca. So I think I picked the right one. Thanks for that bit of help, Megan.

I think I'll try mailing it to Twisters Gymnastics of Boca Raton. That sounds close enough. Hope it'll work. *Prays* ^_^

lol. I love the expression on Alicia's face in that picture. ^_^ Wee! I'm finally done with letters. Now my knuckles hurt. I ended up writing to Nastia, Ashley Priess, Tessa, Jana, and Bianca. I loved writing them, definitely going to write to Chellsie, Shayla, and many others at a later date. One quick question: Does anyone know the website of the gym Jana trains at for sure? Because I get various gyms and I need her gym address and I'm all confuzzled.

Well, I got it narrowed down to this: Seniors - Nastia - Jana or Chellsie Juniors - Ashley P. - Shantessa - Bianca or Shayla or Cortni I spent 2 hours riding around town to find stamps and stationary, so hopefully they respond. Plus I used some psychology and got color envelopes so it'll attract their eye and read it earlier. *Goes off to write letters* You know who your writing to for sure? EDIT: Dang. I didn't realize how small my envelopes were, they really aren't sendable. *Sigh* Better go find some different ones. -_-

I didn't see Sacramone's FX, but a 9.9 is way, way high for just about anyone these days. If I were Nastia's mom, I'd totally be scared to watch her perform, I mean flips and jumps and stuff, that could get on a mother's nerves. And lol to your guys friends and their thoughts. ^_^ Guys, can't live with, can't live without them. :lol: Wee! Found a place that has stamps! I got a 20 roll now I can write to 10 gymnasts (but I think I'll save some for future times, I can't write that much). Now all I need to do is wait for another store to open to get nicer paper and I'm off writing!

Golly gee, I missed the first half of the competition on NBC again. Just my luck. :D But from what I saw, the scores did seem a bit high and I wish they would've shown more than 4 gymnasts and maybe make it a bit longer (I mean, a beach volleyball exhibition game was 1.5 hours) but oh well. Congrats to Nast! The new National Champ! *Waves novelty flag in the air* ^_^ And congrats to all of the other gymnasts as well! Wee! Now I got to start writing mail!

Thanks for the compliment. The replay thing was definitely the thing I worked hardest on, even though it still isn't the greatest. I suppose one would get that feeling of computer crashing. lol My Nastia one would probably be one of my better ones. Hope she liked it; maybe I could write that in my congrats note saying I made it. But then that'd be the second one I made for her she's seen and she'll think I'm a nut, so I may not. ^_^ Oh lord yes. That's one of the best parts of big meets, all of the updates. I've only been on one site and it was crowded with updates. Better go on some other ones to compare.

Ahh, yes. Mini-camps are quite fun. I think I've only been to 1 or 2, I definitely need to go watch those, not as many poeple as the summer camps, it's crowded as heck this time of year. Glad to hear you had fun. True, Brett hasn't had the greatest years the past few years. He knows that, so that's why he rededicated himself to the game and got a Personal Trainer to help him. He looked nearly flawless during the preseason game, this might be a turn around year for him. Random Fact: Coach Sherman was at my church today. Go us! ^_^

True. I would really like to see her do a quad, but if she can't that's fine. I was just kind of surprised when she did a 2.5 during the prelims and the judges scored it as a 3.5 (not sure about the scoring part though, just heard that). :mellow: It will be interesting to see how the US stacks up among others. But I think Jana will probably have quite a bit of respect becasue she's from Germany, but I'm not to sure about that. I think I'll have to go somewhere to get stationary, envelopes, and stamps. I just looked and I didn't have anything. Let's see, if I write 5 gymnasts thats...10 stamps, 10 envelopes, and 5 stationaries. Hmm...luckily I still have my b-day money on hand. ^_^ Oh, and congrats to megan on winning the Fantasy thing, forgot to say that before.

I do agree that they were all highly scored. But I read somewhere that they already somewhat handpick the athletes they want to compete at Worlds but make it seems like they won it by competition. That may very well be possible, so that may reason wht the scores were so high. Oh, and if anyone's interested, probably only one person here, here are the results from Fantasy Gymnastics at AMG. These are the only two entries I got, so if I missed yours, I'm deeply sorry. I was gone when AMG shut down. Anywho, here they are from finals: Seniors - Megan (Nastia, Chellsie, Jana, Alicia [Alt.]) Score - 150.364 - Kelsey (Natsia, Hayley, Alicia, Chellsie) Score - 146.578 Juniors - Megan (Shantessa, Shawn, Samantha P., Bianca) Score - 145.111 - Kelsey (Shawn, Samantha M., Catherine, Christa) - 136.827 Junior Fantasy Champion: Megan Senior Fantasy Champion: Megan I may do this for worlds on Gottalk, but I'm still thinking about that.

I guess I don't mind the fluff, shouldn't have said that; the Nastia one was nice. I guess I was just flustered because I was late watching it and didn't get my fill. But NBC definitely should've shown more than 4 gymnasts (or what I saw it was only 4). But oh well, I'm juts going off in one of my petty rants. :D Don't mind me. ^_^ Better be on time tomorrow watching it. I'm pretty sure the whole meet will be recorded. A guy named Abomb recorded the Tessa FX from prelims, so I'm guessing he would record most of the meet.

Wow there were some high scores tonight! Nastia with 9.8, 9.766, 9.6; Alicia with 9.9, 9.6; Chellsie with 9.5, 9.6. Seems a wee bit overscored in my eyes. I can't wait to see this on NBC tomorrow! Eek, I can't hold it in, sorry if anyone wanted to wait! (Copy and paste to read) CONGRATS NASTIA!!! THE NEW NATIONAL CHAMP!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!! NAST ROCKS MY WORLD!!! WEE!!! Congrats to my Wisconsin girl, Chellsie on doing so well too! Same with Jana and Alicia!!! Same with Price! Looks like I'm be writing out quite a few letters! ^_^ Saw the prelims on NBC. Gosh those announcers were harsh on Nastia. <_< they weren't that great anyways. Not very impressed, should have shown more gymnastics and less fluff, even though the Nastia one was nice. I guess I shouldn't say that because I only saw one. But oh well, at least I got to see it on my regular TV. :D
