Wild Party opening weekend was good...hopefully this weekend will be even better, now that everyone has the jitters worked out.
I hope.
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:32pmYou should all just smoke up together before the show. That always gets rid of my jitters.

I can't say what I used to do to get rid of my jitters.

Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:37pmActually, I generally have a drink before I go onstage; always have.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:41pmI wish I had my own wine cellar. It's such a hassle to go out and buy it one or two bottles at a time.

I could use a drink.
I have a slight case of writers block. I have three projects I need to work on, but I'm not able to work on any of them.

Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:44pmI said a drink, Deeter, not a bottle. :)You won't find ME whittling down any champagne corks backstage!

It's fun.

Not backstage, Jaily, I'm sure.
And remember, she started with a drink. She ended with a bottle.

I wondered who made this!

Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:49pmMeh. I feel like a glass of wine would definitely loosen up my creative side (I'm writing an essay on my ideal libel law, woo!), but sadly our fridge is completely devoid of alcoholic beverages, so I'm stuck with sugarfree Red Bull and tortilla chips.

I love sugarfree Red Bull.
With champagne and vodka.

Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:50pmVodka and I haven't been friends in a very long time, but definitely on the champagne. Jager, too, trashily enough.

I feel that I get in touch with the impulse better when I'm drunk. My conscious loses focus, but my subconscious works wonders.
Sure, it may be long and messy, but at least it's there. I think it's better to overwrite and have too much than to underwrite and need more.

Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:53pmI was a creative writing major as an undergrad. I rarely embarked on a new project without some kind of bottle in my hand. It just helped let the ideas flow.
#893re: Is That You In Your Avatar? - Sweet Sixteen!
Posted: 2/4/08 at 3:54pmSee, I drink to *stop* thinking. Otherwise, my brain won't shut up, and it makes me insane.

I've got the drink, the paper and the pen, but all I've got is:
"Bobby's apartment."
I want to write about the struggles of being a gay man in a small town.
Bobby, the protagonist, fears that his sister will abandon him if he comes out, but he hates lying to her about what he does and where he goes. He works as an assistant manager at the grocery store.
Cindy, the sister, wants to be a wife and a mom. Her boyfriend, Gene, is happy with the way things are. She's a waitress at the diner and Gene works as a mechanic.
There's another character there, a gay guy, but I'm not sure who he is or what to do with him. I know there needs to be a reason for Bobby wanting to come out. He needs to meet someone. But, what would make this new guy move to this city? Maybe he should already live there? Maybe he and Bobby could work together? Or they went to high school together and this other guy was a completely closet case?
I have all that and I can only get two words on paper.

Posted: 2/4/08 at 4:12pmDo a character sketch or a dialogue exercise to get yourself rolling.
#896re: Is That You In Your Avatar? - Sweet Sixteen!
Posted: 2/4/08 at 4:15pmI'll try the second choice.

I'm all out of wine.
I should probably delete my idea.
