If you can call this board discrete, Jaily.
Don't you mean "discreet"?
(That was a spelling correction.)
You are correct, SM2 - discreet is the word I meant to use, although discrete is a word as well. I always get them mixed up. Thanks.

And see, Amanda, that is the GRACIOUS way to react to a well-meaning correction.
I played Barnaby in a production of HELLO, DOLLY! when I was in high school and I had a major crush on my Cornelius.
paparazzi
That would be "paparazzi," coined after Signor Paparazzo from Fellini's LA DOLCE VITA.
ETA: Damn you, D2!

oh my word, only in like, every show I've ever been in! The worst (best?) was two years ago. My community theater group was doing Aida, I was Aida and I was madly in love with Radames! In fact, I had a long and abiding crush on him even befor casting. Then, came blocking and rehearsals. We were staging Written in the Stars, and our director says, "you two, you need to be more comfertable touching eachother, you're supposed to be playing to people deeply in love. Practice!" -Insert melting here- During the song he holds me close and gently strokes my arm and kisses my forhead. It's good he was holding me so close because i don't think my knees would have supported me. -Insert happy sigh- I don't see him very much anymore, though...
You know, if RTFan married D2 she would become RTD2Fan.
No, she wouldn't, cuz it's never gonna happen. D2'sJ2 would have something to say about that, as would I.
Nice try, though, SM2. No face for you.

The star wars character is R2D2, not RTD2.
It was a marginal joke, linnie. *eyeroll*
D2, what am I supposed to _uck? (Is the missing letter an S or an F?)
Which would you prefer?
Broadway Legend Joined: 6/19/06
It's an S, because if it was F, 'what' would have to be 'who'.
And SM, you know I've always tried to reject your humour.

Hey, is that 'was F' or 'were F'?
Linnie, it's after midnight in Ireland, you have school tomorrow. GO TO BED and practice fingering your clarinet.
It's obvious you've never heard of face_cking.
FYI: That's "humor." And it's "if it were F."

1. Ok, were.
2. D2, it's late, I know. And I have loads of things to do tomorrow.
3. Amanda, Ireland is famous for Stout, Whisky, and Gin, not Beer.
4. I don't drink, never have, never will. (Hopefully)
You will. You're a pushover.

Back in my Broadway days there was this guy. We had mutual feelings for each other... Then we dated. And we thought we kept it pretty quiet. We didn't. Apparently the entire cast of the show he worked for at the time knew. I found out they knew months upon months later.
There is no such thing as a secret in theatre.

I pray not, Amanda.
Don't y'all be corrupting my adopted cyber son! Linnie, if you don't want to drink, then don't.
But do GO TO BED!
Broadway Legend Joined: 6/19/06
Sorry Dad2. (That works on so many levels)
Night, Crushers!
You can't corrupt the corrupted.
I always develop a crush during every show I'm involved. Nothing has ever developed from it, and it's non-gender specific.
