Hi all...I just wanted to stop in and say hi...it's been a long time since I've been on. My costumes are due on Saturday and I'm starting to freak out. Augh...

I'm definitely down for 2010!!! I love the idea of having an IEBAG convention!!!

2010, absolutely!

Weez, I've seen various episodes of Oz but haven't watched it in full. My mom LOVED it and kept encouraging me to watch, but I don't have HBO when I'm in Ohio. I have so much spare time now though that I also think I'll rent it from Blockbuster. And now I have HBO again, thank god (I would die without True Blood).

I'm watching a special on the Buttafuocos. This story never fails to amuse me, which I think reflects my taste (or lack of) pretty well...

I think I'm going to rent the first season of Oz from blockbuster. Everyone has such good things to say about it, and I love love love Chris Meloni.

... you might wanna rent the second season as well. I'm just sayin'.

Life on Mars got mercy-killed. The only good things about it were Dean Winters and the occasional Broadway (and Oz 8D) guest actors. It was terrible. Stick with the original UK version, which is BEYOND fantastic. :3

Tofu, you think *you've* got saving problems? I have a theatre habit worse than crack, and a job which scarcely rises above minimum wage. XD I'm job-hunting though; pretty much anything would pay better than my current position, so if I get a new one with more money but act like I'm still on my current awful wage, I should be able to save up enough. Touch wood! (Later in 2010 and away from tourist season would be fab, I'm just sayin'. )

When I had a job I spent money on stupid crap like a drunken sailor.

So this guy that's working on the pool is smoking a ciggie around Henry. Which is sort of annoying. But I won't say anything because I'm too non-confrontational.

Be super passive-aggressive; prime Henry to go and ask him all sorts of annoying questions about lung cancer and death an' stuff. ;D

HAHAHA! I do want the guy to do a good job vacuuming the pool though.

.... wait, did you just say you bought a drunken sailor?!?!?! 'Cos that would be freakin' AWESOME and make you EVEN MORE of a heroine! XD

[StockardFan]

Posted: 5/11/09 at 6:24pm

No I bought things like I WAS a drunken sailor. But buying a drunken sailor would work as well.

I read it like you bought a drunken salor,too! I had to read it twice lol

I wonder how much drunken sailors are going for these days.. ya know, with the economy being what it is..

[StockardFan]

Posted: 5/11/09 at 7:25pm

Well - they're drunk so I guess they'd be pretty easy.....er...cheap.

[killertofu333]

I think they come free with a Heineken...or is it a Sam Adams? Damn I can't remember. Either way they're within my budget so...

Ok so guess where I've been for the past 3 hours. C'mon guess!! At the effing hospital. I got a call on my cell phone that my grandmother was in a car accident. My grandparents just made their last payment on a brand new Pacifica and it's TOTALED!!! Apparently she was stopped at a light, completely still, and her friend in the passenger's seat looked through the windshield and saw this van that wasn't gonna stop. The van hit them head on but they're both fine just a couple bruises on their legs. I cannot express how much I loathe North Carolina drivers, they are CRAZY and super rude down here. I'd swap NC drivers for New Yorkers any day of the week...and New Yorkers give you the finger for almost nothing at all. My life has never had this much excitement in a span of 2 weeks. I need to start blogging and making a sh*t load of money just by bitching and moaning about my life. SHEESH!!!

TOFU!!!

That's terrible! I'm sooooooooooo glad they are both ok, but that's terrible about the car.

Whoa.

Driving is always a scary proposition. I never thought that until I had a kid in the car with me.

Posted: 5/11/09 at 8:25pm

Oh my gosh, Tofu, my heart jumped into my throat when I read that. Oh wow, I'm so glad no one was seriously hurt. But yeah, this is why I'm scared to learn to drive... I'm seventeen, but I've still never driven.

Dude, I'd buy a drunken sailor anyday.

I still think you should've seen Ragtime instead, Piano. It's one of the most phenomenal shows I've ever seen, if not THE most. It's still running for another week!

Tofu, that is so scary. I was in a car accident like that last year... very scary.

I am officially done with this semester! Woot woot! I am so wiped out though... and I have to work 9:30 - 6 tomorrow.... eek! Ah well, I have Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday off and it shouldn't be too busy tomorrow, so I'll be cleaning if my managers are there... and if not I will be gossiping with the other girls
Oh, did I tell y'all that I get to wear any of the jewelry during my shift?? Pretty spiffy, right?

The doctors gave my grandmother a prescription for some Percocet...so she's flyin' high right now and in a pretty good mood . 69 years old and floating on cloud 9 from pain killers...good LORD!!!

Okay, I have to post a big, angry rant.

I'm a high school theatre critic, and I've been working really hard all year. This is my first year, but I did a pretty good job for a first-year critic. I realized that I was ahead of all of the other first-year critics in terms of numbers of reviews published and would probably win an award.

Well, the nominations for the high school equivalent of the Tony Awards came out today, and I was excited to see them... but they nominated me for RETURNING critic by mistake, and three of the nominees are much better than I am and have had more published. Now I have no chance of winning-- I had thirteen published, and one of them has had twenty-three published. I sent an email telling them that I'm a first-year critic, but I doubt they'll kick some poor first-year-critic off the roster of nominees just for me.

But I've been working so hard because I really wanted that award-- and I'm usually the least competitive person ever, but this is the one thing that has really mattered to me all year long-- and I just don't think it's fair to have me judged against critics with one or even two more years of experience than I've had. There is a reason why first-year critics are judged separately. I'm really upset, but I can't complain publicly because it would seem ungrateful for my nomination.

Stock, I want a drunken sailor now.

Schmerg, That sucks! I really hope it all works out!

Tofu I'm glad your gmom is okay. North Carolina drivers is just one more reason why you should move back to Philly. (Hint hint)

The lady in charge of Cappies told me I was nominated for Returning because I'm in eleventh grade and that only freshmen and sophomores are eligible for 'new.' Everyone else who was nominated for returning was nominated for 'new critic' last year except for me, and they all have experience as critics and are their schools Lead Critics.

So I know I won't win... but winning's not everything, and getting nominated is a huge honor. There are loads of other really hardworking critics who didn't get nominated at all.

Schmerg, you'll win it next year! But that does suck.

So I have a story.

The last school I taught at I was also the varsity cheer coach. The summer before I went to that school (Schmerg's school!), one of the cheerleaders (I didn't know her yet) was broadsided by a drunk driver and almost died. She spent the entire school year (which should have been her senior year) in the hospital and rehab.

The next year, she came back to school as a senior. She walked with metal crutches and her speech was very slurred. She obviously couldn't cheer, which I know broke her heart. She took my fashion marketing class, and came to all of the football games and sat with me and cheered on her friends on the squad. A dear, sweet girl. By the end of the year, she was walking with a cane, but her speech was still slurred.

Well this morning I wake up to a facebook friend request from her.

She's graduated from college and gotten married. But the part that has me in tears is looking at her wedding photos. She's walking - unassisted - up the aisle. Dancing with her father and new husband. I don't think anyone ever thought they'd see that day. I'm so flipping happy for her I can't stand it.

*sigh* It's made my day.

Stock, that story just made my morning

I know. It's so happy!

Forgive my intrusion, but I wanted to see what this thread was all about (at least the last page to get an idea), and I'm glad I did 'cause Stock's story brought a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing... even if I'm just a brave and free male who enjoys having girls like you. As friends, that is. :-P
