Reasons to love Ashlynne.Hi Ash.
We all feel really sorry for you about the Company audition... everyone felt really bad after reading your post in the Random Facts thread. I needed to cheer you up... so I sent out a few PM's, and here's what we came up with...
--------------------
Reasons to love Ashlynne (BroadwayObssessed)
From Musikal_Geek
Hey Ash!
Look. You’re amazing. Everyone knows it. You’re always kind- I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a post by you with something mean on it! You have a lot of patience, and that is one thing that more people in this world- myself included- need.
I have so many awesome memories with you… mostly on Gabbly! Haha. Oh, the inside jokes that our little group has… peanut butter, potholders, secret rooms, futons… oh, and our sing-alongs. “EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!” And of course, “LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX!” Good times. Good times.
Chin up, kiddo. Every actor faces many, many rejections in a lifetime. They’re hard, but once you get past them you can really shine. Your moment will come. All will be yours one day. All will be yours.
From Quique
BroadwayObsessed is a very sweet, kind girl who is a joy to have around in this community.
From Lepitot
Ashlynne has an adorable wide-eyed innocent outlook on life. She also wants to name her kid Ticonderoga, like the pencil. I mean, how cool is that? She likes Wicked, which in my opinion is freaking awesome. Oh yeah, and she adored Boq's goofy little foot kick in the beginning of Dancing Through Life. She also loves KYLE XY!  And, in all the time that she's been here, I don't ever recall her posting anything rude at all. Rock on!
From Robinflamingo
Ashlynne is a very sweet and caring young woman who is one of the first to say nice things about other people. She has a great sense of humor, and she's from a good state...even if the people immediately around her don't see how wonderful she is.
Ash, I truly believe that when a door closes, you have to look for the open window. You didn't get company because something big is in store for you.  Who knows...could be....it's only just out of reach, down a block, on a beach, under a tree!!
From wicked_boy
Ashlynne knows a lot about musicals and is always happy to voice her opinion in a kind manner as to what she thinks about them. She will always guide a n00b in the right direction and I think helps keep all the regular posters in control! Three words: Kind, clever, wonderful.
From Set_Buildin_Dad
Ashlynne,
I know you're disappointed about not getting your dream part in Company. I have no doubt that you worked very hard toward this. Not getting the part is not a reflection on you personally. You are a great person! You have always been a supportive individual here at MdN. We all appreciate you contributions. Don't let this get you down. Keep working hard and I know you will succeed. Remember, good things come to those with a positive attitude, a solid work ethic, and a little patience. Oh, and by the way, big daddy hugs (((HUGS))) from me.
From ActingDude17
Anybody who can do a double peekay followed closely by a triple is one great person, and nowhere near talentless!
So what if the upperclassmen laughed at you and you were embarrassed? The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself and no one else. If you don't have contentment and self-confidence, what do you have?
Keep your chin up and look for another audition, and I'm sure things will work out!
From Matthew
Dear Ashlynne,
You're beautiful. And you're brilliant. Just so you know.
Love, Matthew

REASONS TO LOVE ASHLYNNE:
1. Her contagious enthusiasm
2. Her sparkling wit and personality (no really, it's true!)
3. Her periodic randomosity, which makes us all laugh
4. Her often-useful knowledge!
FEEL BETTER, ASHLYNNE! Bad auditions get the best of all of us sometimes
From pish123c
I love Ash because she's funny without trying to be. Our little inside jokes never cease to make me laugh. She's a role model in perkiness.
From ilovebway
Ashlynne has got to be the nicest person I've met on MDN and is one of my favorite members. She is always such a fun person to have on here and on the AIM chatrooms. Please, do not get discouraged by not getting into this showchoir. It was just one audition. Please don't throw your hopes, dreams, and potential down the drain just because of one rejection. We have all been there and have felt the same way you have. But everything happens for a reason. Who knows? It might not have been the amazing experience you thought it was going to be.
From kiwi
Don't worry about a thing, k honey? It's their loss. You're super talented and a really fun person, and there are going to be tons of auditions that you go to and kick kiester and get good roles because you totally deserve to. Feel better! We're all here for you.
From kozafluitmusique
Ash, you're amazing. You are so sweet. Don't give up! I understand the feeling of wanting something so much and when you don't get it how devistating it is. I wanted to be in the wind ensemble at my old school so much freshman year. The wind ensemble was one of the reasons why I chose that school. I auditioned and just missed it because the wind ensemble director cut the chairs by two. I was devistated for awhile ... but I figured, "If I was this close this year, I'll make it next year". I just worked, and scared to be disappointed, I had a really good audition the next year and made it! I'm obviously not in it this year, because I moved...but I achieved my dream. You can do this! Don't let the upperclassman get to you - besides, although I never have heard you sing, I'm sure you have a pretty voice and are amazing. It's like what my private lesson teacher said about select auditions - "Because it has to be perfect and they can't accept everyone, they lose a lot of amazing talent."
From Not Dead Yet
I don't know you very well, but you seem like a great person. Don't let something like this ruin your self image. You're only as beautiful as you make yourself out to be. In order to achieve any type of greatness you must achieve confidence. And knowing how great a person you are is already half the job done. Some things don't happen the way you want them to, but accepting defeat never ever helps. The only way to MAKE things happen is to step up and work hard to better yourself. Plus, you already know you've got great people here supporting you. So do your best and one day they'll wish they made you part of the Company!
From Catherine
Ash, you are such an amazing person to talk to. Honestly, any time I chat to you I always have a laugh, and its great how we can chat for ages and ages. Ash, you are incredibly pretty, and when I saw that pic of you with blonde and curly hair, I honestly went: "Woah there". You're such fun to talk to, about anything really, and although we don't talk much anymore I wish we could, I can't seem to think of what to talk about which is a shame, but whenever we do talk, conversation always sparks and I always have a laugh. I absolutely love your voice (speaking), and your little mannerisms that make you so awesome. You're very very pretty, and I've never heard you sing, but damn I want to, and you can dance, too! Come on, what a package! I never want you to be upset because, honestly, it sucks, and it passes on to me, and then basically the whole of MdN in upset. So I hope this makes you SMILE!! Because me writing it all down has made me smile, and you're gorgeous face doesn't look right without a smile. So Ash, cheer up, and remember you're beautiful, and at MdN, we all love you!!!

You know you're loved, hun. Keep a happy face.
I sincerely hope that you feel a little bit better after reading this comments! Thank you to everyone who helped in any form. I apologize to everyone I didn't PM, because it was really hard to PM ALL of the frequent users here! If anyone didn't get a PM, or didn't receive the message before I posted this, I'm very sorry. EVERYONE is welcome to contribute any positive thoughts to this thread!
We love you, Ashlynne. Don't let that panel get you down. You're above that.
Love,
Luc & ...everyone else <3
