Warning: this post is not funny at all!

If you used to read me over at BestWeekEver.tv, you know I am completely obsessed
with So You Think You Can Dance. If you have never watched this show, you should
start right away. It's currently in its seventh season, but it's the type of show that just
keeps getting better. This season is staggeringly good already. If you think it's some
kind of kids' version of Dancing with The Stars, or some niche version of America's Got
Talent...you're wrong. Dancing with The Stars is where washed up tabloid uggos try to

well I told my mom I didn't need to bring the sheet music. She asked, "Are you
sure? What if you forget some of the notes?" And I said something along the
lines of "Don't sweat it mom, I've got this." (Can you guess where this is
going??) When it came time for me to perform, I walked out onto the stage,
brimming with confidence, in front of an attentive audience of about 500
Southern Baptists.
