[ilovetheshins]

Sami and Dream, wow you are amazing! And doing a wonderful job with the episodes! Yay for increasing our reasons by almost 10-fold in the past 3 days alone! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[SamiJoe]

'Cause she had a whole system to get out of gym (forging signatures).

Where's this from? Thanks.

[fear x less]

Figured I would just post this here since it's Alexis, and you guys love Alexis!

[A. B. Normal]

Oooh, that's really pretty fear x less! Thanks for sharing!

Reasons are updated, keep em coming ya'll!

Sami, it's from the YM article when Alexis was on the cover. It's a Gilmore Girl's World.

Like Rory, Alexis stuck to academics rather than athletics. "The only things I can do, without hurting myself, are pilates and hiking," admits the actress. She was so bad in gym class she had to scam her way through it. "I had a whole system," she explains. "It's not something I'm proud of, but my friend and I would write excuse notes and sign each other's parents' signatures."
