Testimonials

But Chet is. He calls her stints "medical dildos". She says that his interest in her medical stinting has gone from interest to him just being mean. And an immature ass, I would like to add. Ryan overhears the conversation, and when he finds out about the stints, he reacts exactly like Chet. Great, now there's two of them. "Is it ribbed for your pleasure?" Chet smirks while Ryan giggles. Katelynn, to her credit, doesn't smack either of them. Although she does threaten to "disembowel" anyone who messes with her medical supplies.

You should leave them in the boys' beds.

The next morning, Katelynn is confiding to Baya how hard it's been transitioning, and how sometimes she's just tired of fighting. Well. Awwww. Baya gives her a hug and tells her to keep fighting. Baya's a sweetie. Katelynn tells us that she wants to help other people going what she's been through. So she heads over to the community center to start up a website. A girl who looks like a boy tells Katelynn they want to do a presentation. Big time!

Man up! Wait sorry I meant no offense.

And Katelynn's not the only one hitting the big time. Chet's headed over to Atlantic Records to meet up with his friend Christina, who he met at Angels & Kings, an MTV sanctioned bar. Christina's another one who latches on to the free PR associated with the camera crew following him around, and is having him do an interview with one of her bands, Danger Radio. Ever heard of 'em? Me either, til now. Well played, Christina.

Chet's really excited about the opportunity, and he's broken out his pink plaid bow-tie for the occasion. When he left Salt Lake City, he told everyone "I'm gonna make something of myself!" Oh, it's all so bright lights, big city. Chet sits down with the band for a little of what he calls Chet Chat. He starts out the interview with some dumb random fact about dog toothbrushes having been invented their hometown of Seattle. He played this same dumb trick with Pete Wentz. Ugh, by the way, Ashlee on Melrose Place? Why? And more importantly, why? Overall, the interview goes pretty well though, the band really likes him and Christina's impressed. And not just with Chet's built in camera crew. At least I don't think.

Back at home, Baya's doing some spins and Ryan wants to know when she starts at the conservatory. She breaks the news that she declined their invitation. "Why?" Ryan wants to know. She explains that their style of teaching was too militant. "Yeah, break you down and then build you up their way," he agrees. But Baya didn't likey. Ryan goes off on a rant about how there's no quitting in the military. "You can't quit...because, literally you can't. And if you have that mentality with everything you do, then you can do things that you think you can't," he explains. Well, he has a point. Who would have thought the army was all positive thinking?

Deserter! Hang her!

But Baya just "didn't appreciate" the way they treated her. Ryan points out that when something doesn't work out, she runs away. She left school to go to California, she's not going to the conservatory. "Somebody needs to just slap her and say, Baya! Work! Harder!" he admonishes. Hmmm. I wouldn't mind Ryan following my lazy ass around.

Baya tells us what a struggle dance has been for her since she's been in New York. She's wanted to be a professional dancer for so long, but then "I get to New York, and reality sets in." Reality being that it seems like she enjoys dancing, but never took a class in her life. She dances around the gym to some melancholy music and tells us the big city can swallow you. Well, until you learn some technique. Come on White Bread, don't give up on your dreams before you get to dance class. You've already got the Broadway Dance sweatpants. You're halfway there.
