Very weird that that was my gut reaction but from that moment we kind of knew it was over and we were past it... As the season played we didn't keep in touch or anything and it was definitely weird to relive the intensity of it all but seeing her at the reunion was just as "fine" She was hanging out with Ashli a lot by that point and although we weren't bff'd out voluntarily, being brought together by MTV wasn't uncomfortable.
Part II: I think seeing Dunbar's confessional about the "he's just not that into you" really hit me hard because I never saw it coming. We were pretty good friends leaving the show and I was kind of jaw-hanging open shocked that it got so mean.
Part III: I don't know what Dunbar and Julie's status is at the moment but I'd rather not waste any energy contributing to the "turbulence." AcidAnd: Alex called me on Christmas and left a nice voicemail. Every once in a while we exchange a myspace message. What's the link to his myspace? I haven't seen it. Katiedid: Shauvon and I are fine. I don't talk to her outside of the random encounters we have for an appearance or MTV stint but I think the lack of communication or resolve to "agree to disagree" about that issue in particular was why it seemed like there was some sort of rift. Other than that, we're chill .
Aaand there was no tension or catfighting between Ashli and Julie because Julie didn't come to NY! stacee_danielle: Thank you I'm working on a BUNCH of stuff right now!! Writing and recording pretty intensively (about 11 songs deep right now) and after all the legal stuff gets squared away, an EP should be on iTunes. In between all the album work, I'm still traveling around to universities every now and again to do speaking engagements on cultural exchange/inter-faith dialogue and the plurality of growing up Muslim in America (immigration/race relations, etc.). Other projects include a few commercials in the works, nothing major until I get in the union and some work for a few causes I'm really into chopkins: will you be my valentine? My family was really supportive. I think in the beginning it was hard for my younger sister. Those first few episodes she was like "are you ever going to be cool?!" and I felt bad that she had to deal with other kids approaching her at school about what a ****h her sister was. It was hard for my mom to watch the way the girls treated me and then hear me on the phone with Ashli or KellyAnne. She really couldn't grasp how I was friends with them after watching all of that... but in the end they were all really proud of me and again, super supportive that I went through it all and came out alive
They've definitely come around on the music goals as I've spent so much time in the studio and bringing home new tracks and they see I'm actually doing it! I'm not just saying "I want to sing, I want to make an album," I'm out there singing in front of 20,000 people at a Nets game and coming home with new material all the time. My mom has my stuff on her iTunes and listens to it at work
Dunbar and I are good. I don't talk to him too often but in the few times that I have we've been very friendly and supportive of each other. I hope all is well for him. roundables I first met Ruthie and Paula back in August at a convention. I met Evan and Alex in Boston at College Fest in October. Met the entire Denver cast in October at a speaking engagement in Manhattan later that month and Ryan from Fresh Meat at an outing afterwards. Met Kenny one night in NJ while driving back from a convention in PA with Paula and Evan. Talked to Nehemiah and Johanna over the phone a few times. Exchanged messages with Zach from KW and talked to Lori from BTNY on the phone a few times at length. Met Tyler in NYC back in November and actually went to a private Kanye West/In Touch magazine party. Met Evelyn, Rachel and Veronica at that convention. Met Katie, Robyn, Miz and Coral (who were out with Paula, Ryan and more MTV production folks) at their post-Gauntlet special soiree in NYC last month. Coral was very nice to me but I did watch her put a guy in his place at the bar. Don't try to be cute with her, she won't have it haha.
Everyone has been really nice... out of vets Ruthie, Paula, Lori, Ryan, Tyler, Brooke, Evan, Alex, Jenn, Johanna, Nehemiah and Coral have reached out and been especially sweet. | Deal, I will be your valentine, it might be a little awkward though since i have a husband and you like boys!  . Thanks for answering about your family. I felt for them when all that BS went down with the girls. It was painful for me to watch , can't imagine what it was like for people who love you. Keep us updated about your music! I so hope you make it! |
