She is 22, cute, and is graduating college this year. I SO wish she would continue on for her master's, but... kids!

Also, I have a friend who tried out for the Voice and made it through the first round. He has to go to N.Y on April 21 for the second audition.

Has anyone you know tried out for any TV reality shows?

    I know a girl who has auditioned for American Idol every year. She's even road tripped to multiple venues, standing in line for days and days.

    I would recommend talking to her about adult relations and things like STDs and condoms. The kids on those shows copulate quite frequently.

    Went to college with Colin Steers from Make Me a Supermodel. There was a viewing party every night to cheer him on and he became a bit of a campus punchline (his face was on every poster promoting every event for the entire year). Gotta tell you: not as cute in real life. REALLY skinny.

    I went to high school with Casey Carlson from American Idol. She made it to the semi-finals. It was a HUGE deal around here when it happened.

    I visited my friend in the hospital down the hallway from Pedro from that Real World. Sad.

    Yeah, that's true. She is on birth control, and is responsible in that sense. I mean, she made it through college without getting pregnant, haha! And she had a boyfriend the whole time, although he left her for California. He is a musician. So he graduates and wants to make it big as a musician, and she graduates and wants to be a reality star! Her major is marine science. At least they tend to have educated young people on that show, so maybe she'll meet someone nice.

    I don't know. They look dirty to me on that show. I hope she's safe.

    Wow. The Real World? What a train wreck. Nothing good is going to come from that.
