Is Broadwayworld a secret for anyone?

I'll explain.

I read a lot of posts on here (and have written more than my share) that I don't think one's mother would approve of. Do any of us vent a bit more freely on here than in front of our loved ones?

example: I would truly be mortified if my mom saw that pictures I posted a few months ago.

Yes, my family (mom included) knows about this site. I think I'm the same (and then some) off the boards.

I'm the opposite - I censor myself more on the board than in real life. I have faith in my ability to get my true point across when I have use of inflection, eye contact, etc. On here, my uneasiness with being completely misinterpreted holds me back frequently.

some people know, but most don't. I would rather people didn't know but it's not that big of a deal.

i tell my friends about it but then i go "but dont go there... it sucks!" haha

DG, I'm the same way. It's so much easier to misconstrue words than it is to misinterpret gestures or the inflections. I'm more careful with how I present myself on the boards (and on the internet in general) than I am in real life.

I'm just me. Actually I think I am a little less fabulous in "real life". So far everyone I have met from these boards hasn't seemed too put off or upset that I wasn't as I seemed (as far as I know at least **evil stare**) or anything.

My friends and family know I post on a broadway message board, but i doubt anyone other then Buzz actually knows the name of it. I'm not hiding it, they just have no interest.

Same. It's not like my posting on here is a secret, but it's something that really just hasn't come up with most of my family and friends. Though, my two closest friends are both posters or lurkers on here, though neither of them posts too much.

Our deal is as long as I don't go off and meet random ppl without their permission or without them being there, etc...and as long as I don't post my exact living area.
That being said, I swear a lot more...but that's not too bad.

hail to the cabalia.

as far as posting, with me what you see is what you get. ask anyone who knows me.

Yes, it is a secret, but not my best kept one. A few of my friends and family know.

I'm not much different here than I am in the real world. I'm shy with people I don't know well, but my good friends have a hard time shutting me up.

you have secrets, shh?

[shameless]

Posted: 6/9/07 at 6:49pm

Uh huh. I have to keep some mystery between us, Papi.

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 6/9/07 at 6:50pm

as long as the only thing separating us is mystery and not fabric, love.

When did you become such a romantic?

Even as I type this, I'm tyin' a red string around my wrist so I can join the cabalia too. According to Jane Krakowski on 30 Rock, cabalia has all the cool parts of Judaism, plus magic.

And speaking of magic, I recently reread "The Year of Magical Thinking," the book not the play. People should totally read it. It's a super awesome idea to learn to put aside magical thinking.

magic reminds me of one of my new fave jokes (shamelessly stolen from ron white)...

a magician works on a cruise ship. the captain of the ship owned a parrot who would always come with him when he went to watch the magician preform. the problem was, the parrot could talk, and he understood the magician's magic tricks. he would always give away the secret to the trick. "brrawk! he's putting it in his pocket! brrawk! he's putting it in his sock! brrawk! he's putting it up his sleeve!"

one day the magician got fed up with the bird ruining his shows and pulled out a pistol and shot the parrot. the parrot ducked and the bullet hit a propane tank on the ship, causing the whole ship to be blown to a billion pieces. the only two survivors were the parrot and the magician.

the two had been floating for hours in the ocean on two tiny pieces of the wreckage when the parrot said, "ok, i give up, where's the damn boat??"

Good one!

Thanks tazber, I'm drinking Kaballiah water even as I type.

Did you ever notice how sometimes something takes over your imagination and you believe it to be real and you suddenly find yourself revealing what you think you know but you don't really know what you think you know but you're so strident in your assertion that what you're saying comes out with such a certitude that you even come across as vaguely threatening?

Yeah, me neither. But it does happen.
