I just sent out my first-ever college application! (It's for the College of William and Mary. Chances are very slim that I'll get in, but I just wanted to apply early to get it over with.) I'm kinda nervous now.
Oh, Schmerg...William and Mary is such a fabulous school! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
In the past 12 hours I did some laundry, went to my son's football game, updated my FB status and made fishsticks for dinner. This is the boring life that you too shall have if you become a housewife....
Oh and I am working on my resume, cause I am gonna get a job! Of some sort. I just have no idea what it will be...
In the past 12 hours, I've had a lie-in, played Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii with my family, and gone to Stratford-upon-Avon with my dad, where we ate delicious pizza courtesy of a "buy one get one free" offer then saw Twelfth Night, which wasn't mind-bogglingly awesome, but certainly was a good solid fun night out.
Pantomime rehearsals are currently going rather well. Still haven't found an "I'm ugly so no one will ever love me" song that is both sad and generic enough, but I'm almost off-book completely so it could be worse. There's also a production of My Fair Lady about to kick off. I'm sure I'd make an awesome Eliza, but as I'm planning on overlapping shows for a while, I think I'll just go for chorus or maybe a teenyweeny role. Having run out of West Wing, I think I'm okay throwing myself into shows for a bit. :)
Still hate my job, so maybe I should work on my resume too!
Tofu, that's kindof adorable. As long as you didn't get awful bodily fluids all over her, I reckon you're still in with a shot!
Kels, ack on the power front! That's ridiculous that they wouldn't even let you know. I hope you get it sorted soon, and I hope the guy situation continues actually going in some direction!
luscious, yay for off the meds! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Schmerg, keeping my fingers crossed for you too! The worst part of applying for things is the anxious frenzy you can work yourself into while working on the application, so it's good to get into the "sending things off" swing NOW.
Danmag, I was going to come up with job suggestions, but it's nearly half past midnight and my brain scarcely functions during daylight hours. I shall instead send you a great big MWAH! through the web.
Thanks Weez!! I like MWAH's better than job suggestions any day!!
Weez - What about something like If I Can't Love Her from Beauty and the Beast?
I know it's a male part, but still.
Weez-- I've provided like a million terrible suggestions already... but how about "I'm All Alone" from Spamalot? Not QUITE saying you're ugly, but it's definitely "No one loves me." (Of course, in the real show, he DOES have his sidekick there with him, and eventually the whole chorus, but eh, details...)

L, I am soooo effing happy for you!!!! Getting off your meds would be so amazing plus you lost like 35 pounds?! You go GIRL!!!!!! (That's the only "black" thing I know how to say while rolling my neck and snapping my fingers with attitude, so take it or leave it)
Weez, playing Wii, eating pizza and seeing Twelfth Night sounds like a pretty good day. All you need now is some delicious red and a slice of that cold pizza and you've got a drunken midnight snack in the works. YAY!!!! Oh and I didn't spit up on the poor girl or anything, I just looked all icky in the face with it.
Danmag, I wish you all the luck in the world on the job front. Just remember that most people are "Bastard covered bastards with bastard filling." I got that from an episode of Scrubs and I recite it when a potential employer is a jackass to me. Good luck lady!!!!
I had a conversation with a coworker today that can only be classified as "interesting" with major air quotes. It always amazes me what people will say to you when they don't think that the topic applies to you. Today there was a guy at work, someone I'd never met before, a rather attractive white guy, that needed some help with something. I thought I was normal enough in assisting him and sent him on his way. But my coworker, a black guy, said that I damn near melted for the guy and asked if I was into that "sorta thing". Excuse me for being as dumb as a rock but I had no idea what he was talking about. He said that I was practically blushing over the guy and that I wanted him. Granted he was cute but there's one little hitch....he's a DUDE!!!! Nothing matters less to me than race when it comes to other people I find attractive, but apparently my coworker has issues with that "sorta thing" as he affectionately called it. I told him that in actuality it really wasn't "my thing" and tried my hardest to steer the convo in another direction but he wasn't having any of that. So he pressed me until I finally blurted out that I wasn't seeing anyone and that the aforementioned man that I helped certainly wasn't what I was into. I thought I had finally gotten him off my back but then he started talking about another guy that we work with who is obviously gay, saying that gays are disgusting, he doesn't understand how 2 guys could EVER be together blah blah blah bullsh*t. Immediately after basically calling me and every other gay person a repulsive piece of garbage he said that he wasn't one to judge others. WTF?! You just stood there and talked out of your ass for 5 minutes lecturing me on the dirtiness of who I am and interracial dating and yet you don't judge others? Yeah ok. Even though I'm not out to him it always gets me what people will say about you when they think they're not saying anything about you. What an a**hole. And to think that I almost felt comfortable enough to come out at work. Dodged a bullet there huh?
Oh, and JAG is alive right? Jus' checkin'.
HAHAHAHAHA, NOOOOOAH! That was day-making... and a little frightening!

Oh good gracious have we been infiltrated by Maisie's BF????!!!! Jeez, now I'm gonna have to tone down my naughty and ridiculous behavior on this thread. So much for free speech.
I kid, I kid. Hi Noah!!!

Hi tofu! And schmerg! And everyone else. Nice to meet you after hearing all about you (on an almost daily basis! lol).
Yes, I request a tofu breakdown as well
Sounds like fun!

Ok Noah at your darling Maisie's request I found this little summation of "The Girl Thread" that I posted like 4 months ago with a few updates to it as of today (updates are in bold):
TOFU: Resident lez, potty mouth on occasion, and loves Tequila going in but not coming out. Eww. I am way too graphic about my own life from time to time so please bear with me and try not to get freaked out when you read my long winded, raunchy and hopefully coherent posts. Other than that I'd say I'm a f*cking delight.
BB: Dancer extraordinaire, Pam from "The Office", sweet as friggin' pie. Is currently like the busiest human being alive, but we miss her terribly and want her back in the worst way!!!!
DANMAG: A Hellcat with an even better potty mouth, enjoys wine and weed...I'm kidding, or am I? She's also a local mom here. She and Stockard are evidently in a national minivan gang of housewives together called D.B.U.A.T.K.S.P (Drunken Blondes United After Taking the Kids to Soccer Practice) Yes it's a long name but hey according to their charter that's how it goes.
STOCKARD: Also a mom of the thread, cute as a button, and the mother of a mini Bruce Lee. And has an unrelenting love of Chris Daughtry. Is the president of D.B.U.A.T.K.S.P but may be stepping down soon due to upcoming nuptials with Daughtry. Not just Chris but the entire band. What can I say, the girl's got skills.
SHANNON: Cool as sh*t but she lives out West so she misses our bullsh*t sometimes but gets caught up later. She hasn't been here in forever, but I miss her and hope she's ok.
CLEVER: Dammit the woman's just funny and dare I say spunky?! Right now she's going through hazing trying to get into the minivan gang with Stockard and Danmag. She has to drink 6 glasses of red, 9 glasses of white, 4 Sambuca on the rocks, 3 Mimosas with 2 Belgian waffles and do the dance routine from Coyote Ugly perfectly with an athletic supporter on her head singing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" in order to be a member for a probationary period. Eh that gang is sadistic. Seriously just take a moment to picture that.....classic!!!!!!!!
PIANO: My brother in arms on the gay front, I'm secretly in love with him but we'll just keep that between us...He's probably extremely busy with school right now but I hope he can be here more often to help me keep these broads in line!!!
MAISIE: The cutest lil' thing ever, a dancer like BB, and we have yet to corrupt her with our sordid stories and comments but we're getting there...BWAHAHAHA!!! I'm sure Noah's already figured out how sweet she is. She's obviously very busy with school but we're all very proud of her and wish her luck with her beau.
SCHMERG: The originator. She started this thread over 3 months ago and that alone makes her awesome not to mention she's a sweetheart. The girl is like way beyond most people her own age which is a good thing. Some people might try to dumb themselves down, but Schmerg says screw that and keeps that whole intellect thing going.
JAG (Justagirl2): Ok. Where to start with JAG? Number one the girl's a bad ass in all the best ways. Like if you f*ck with her she might say something to the effect of: "Today I'm handing out ASS WHOOPINS and lollipops, and I'm ALL outta lollipops!!!" She's cool as f*ck. If possible I'd marry her. Yes it might be a sham of a marriage filled with lazy afternoons playing drinking games with Woodchuck, but like I always say "Give me a woman who can drink as much as me at the bar and I'm golden".
NEWGIRL: Hails from Chicago, her ex is an asshole but she's really very nice.
WEEZ: Our buddy across the pond, like Shannon she misses things from time to time but she's great. She has the uncanny ability to balance being awesome and smart-assy (is that a word?) in a really good way. There's a good chance I'd hit on her if she was in a coffee shop reading a lengthy novel pushing her glasses up from the tip of her nose.
LUSCIOUS: My secret (well not so secret now) crush. (I think she's cute) I'd better not go any further, I fear I've said too much as it is. Right now she's dabbling in the "love that dare not speak its name". Maybe not dabbling, more like doing the back stroke in it. LOL!!!
KELS(WithoutLove): A sweetie but she's underage so when we all meet up in 2010 she can't drink with the rest of us...dammit!! Ok I have to call it how I see it, this girl is an electromagnet for ALL KINDS OF CRAZY!!!! If it's not the fellas giving her guff it's something equally stressful. I think we should start a "Get Kels a vacation fund".
New People:
SHH: To be honest I don't know Shh all that well yet but I hope to remedy that shortly.
SAMN: I don't know how everyone else feels but I REALLY like her. She's funny as hell and is apparently "gettin' down" with other folks' BF's or was unless I just dirtied up her post from yesterday for no good reason? I don't know but she's super amazing and lives over on the West coast. Lucky. Oh and she doesn't have FB just like me so HA!!
JAZZY: Has joined the ranks of "Gay" with me and Piano. I'm the Sergeant cuz I guess lesbians are supposed to be all butch and what not. Piano's the Specialist because...well I guess he does "special" stuff with his hands...don't ask. Jazzy's our PFC-Private First Class, ummmmm because his privates are first class? I dunno I tried to explain it without being dirty but I think I failed.
StarStruck: She's been on BWW for a long time but she just ventured into The Girl Thread this week so I don't know her as of yet. But she's cute in her avi so that's an A+ in my book.
There did I get everyone?!
Hope that helps Noah.....
Hi Noah! Welcome...I hope we don't drive you away too quickly.
tofu, I'd marry you. Totally.
Oh, I would marry Tofu in a hot second....she's the bomb.
Welcome Noah, and I am really not the drunken mess that these people portray me as. I am just your ordinary everyday housewife who happens to enjoy a showtune from time to time.
Hahaha nicely played Mais :)
HI NOAH!!! I hear about you all the time, too! Nice to get to say hello. Oh and I think you're a great photographer!
Tofu- You make me laugh. My description still says nothing about my personality, but it's awesome. You are silly. :P
Broadway Legend Joined: 7/23/08
L, c'mon now woman if I delved that far into what I actually think of your personality it'd just get weird and I'm trying to mellow out that "uber creepy" vibe I give off. GOSH!!! I'll just have to PM you later.
People I beg you, please forgive me. I was jacked up and bugged out on 2 cups of STRONG coffee last night when I wrote that. *hangs head in shame*
Welcome Noah!
TOFU! LOL! "Piano's the Specialist because...well I guess he does "special" stuff with his hands...don't ask." Have I ever told you that I love you? LOL those descriptions on everyone are SO GOOD!
And yeah, school... bleh. I'm over this semester. Right now, I should be in Econ, but uh... let me show you the teacher. The class is just as boring as she is.
No way Piano...that is NOT your teacher!!!
ROFL!!! LMAO!!!! LOLOL!!!!
I bet he gets lots of dates. WAIT....did you say that is a female teacher??? Oh good lord.
LOLLOL I wish that wasn't her. If only you could hear her... LOL Maybe I'll record her voice one day.
Baaaahahahahaahahahaa.... I love you Tofu... that just made my day! yes, I am a total crazy magnet! Speaking of which, my mom just got her hours cut in half at work.... over the phone... starting next week! I am thinking of going after her boss with a nerf gun (because I can't get arrested for THAT).
I am having a good day just because I got a txt from the boy saying "keep your head up."
Oh and of course...
HI NOAH!
Welcome!
