Egad, caught! Hubby called and asked if I'd been texting alot lately. I said, "Some......why?" Seems as if I'm close to going over our text limit for the month -- who knew?! He says, "You're going to have to get some other soldier in the GLARMY to do the texting!" GLARMY!! He thought he was so clever. This is really interesting. Here normally, a great amout or unlimted texting is included, and additional sms' are like 5 cents per piece? How is it in US. I know from old times that texting was common in Europe much earlier than in US, in here we do that for everything and by everyone? The only person I know who is not actively texting is my mom, and she is quite old  ETA: Text messaging was invented by a Finn . |

IMO, Adam would move heaven and earth to stay in touch with someone that is really close to him, his family and bestfriend Danielle and other really close friends like the Cherries, Allisan, etc. He said himself that he's not good in keeping in touch. Not sure about resentment from the other alumn of S8, but we know and pretty sure they also know that Adam is very busy and the other from S8 are also busy with their life and career .. I think everybody's moving on. But I'm pretty sure that if Anoop or whoever from S8 come to LA and need a place for couple of days and they ask Adam's help; He will be gladly to help. I'm just glad that Adam mentioned this, so there's no assumptions like "Ohh pretty sure they're keeping in touch and we just didn't know it".  Dunno... You don't make the same kind of connections with everyone. Like, his relationship with Kris and other alumns may have been different from (for example) his relationship with Scarlett when they were in Hair together; like less deep, even if it seemed pretty strong (with Kris, for example). We know how his relationship with the Cherries etc. is now, but we don't know how they were when they started being friends. Maybe it was completely different, and even more strong than the relationships he developed with certain S8 alumns. I don't know if I'm making sense, I'm really tired. And still trying to catch up with everything that's happened in NZ. :-[ Based on my experience with shows and musicians, Adam's comment about being a gypsy and creating families during shows made perfect sense to me. When you are thrown closely together for rehearsals and performances, where everyone has a common goal, you get very close very quickly ---- or you hope to. If the cast doesn't gel like that, you have big problems. But, after the show is over, everyone goes on to their next project. The reason you bonded with everyone was the close proximity, amount of time spent together each day, and the common goal of the production. You may not have that much in common once those things are removed. Adam has probably been in over 100 shows over time. From those he has maybe a dozen close friends? These are folks he found more in common with than just the current show. They clicked on a deeper level as kindred spirits. I don't picture the cast of AI Season 8 to have had that much in common with Adam other than wanting to win a TV contest. It doesn't seem strange they don't chum around with each other now. It wouldn't mean they are estranged, jealous, or anything else, IMO. I imagine if/when they happen to reunite, it will be with good feelings all around, until the next time. |

I'm not exactly sure where you are from but in my area (DC metro) everyone texts, but most have some sort of limit on their data plan package that includes texting, internet AND streaming. So while the 'cost' on straight texting is not significant, internet access can be pricy - thats what can kill you. |

You may not have that much in common once those things are removed. lol This made me smile. I completely understand. In spite of the obvious differences, I'm in a similar situation right now. Of course, I'm no artist. But I'm studying for a competitive exam (it's called the MIR) with other doctors, and a bunch of us are living together in a dormitory. We wake up, have breakfast together and then we start studying, then we eat lunch together, go to class together, go to the gym together, have dinner together, watch TV together... We breathe MIR, we eat MIR, we talk MIR, we dream MIR. It's sort of like a Big Brother experience, with all that this sort of experience entails. We've created really strong bonds in a short amount of time, because we're working towards the same goal. Even if we're working for all of us separately, and not for the whole group. In this dormitory there have been new relationships, domestic quarrels (black eye and screaming in the middle of the night included), new friendships... It's crazy. It's an interesting social experiment I'm getting to live here. lol |
