I totally manipulated it from how it began (I think it was 3, 2, and 1). I'm glad you followed suit. Is Sanjaya or whoever that American Idol guy who supposedly stinks?
yes, that is the sanjaya that is on american idol. He's the only one that I actually know about because he's been on the news. I don't watch it
I also don't watch it but when he got voted off we texted my sister (who is away on a choir trip) and she said her life was over :)
She is a funny girl.
Also, do you use wikipedia because of Michael Scott's fondness of it? I think it's in the episode titled, The Negotiation. We just watch it. I really am not that obsessive. Maybe.
Oh wow you share a b-day with Sanjaya! That is kind of cool though. He is a major pretty boy and I was so happy when he got voted off!!
