I don't think Harris qualifies as a closet case. Well I'm off to bed kiddies. I have to go to school in the morning.
When the only people you're (half) out to are on the internet, and you pretend to be straight to the people who see you in real life everyday, you're a closet case.
I have nothing (well, not too much) against closet cases, but Harris was taking a jab at me, so I had to stick him back with something less subtle.

Just chillin' after a long day. I see you've been keeping busy.
I feel like staying up late for no particular reason.
So do we.
But we call it something else
You're welcome to use that quote foster, but it may be dangerous to your health!
Thanks, Tazzy!
It looks great!
Oh lord! This id gonna be fun!
How was the show? Was Raul good?

Raul? Where? Here?
I saw THE HOMECOMING tonight, mauri.
Raul was pretty good. He and Eve Best got the love letters from Brantley, primarily, I believe, because of who they are, not because of their performances.
There are six cast members, and while Raul and Eve were very good, I would say that the most detailed performances came from the other four actors: James Frain and Gareth Saxe most especially; and Ian McShane and Michael McKean.
Raul was rehashing a lot of his TABOO shtick, and he lost his accent a lot of the time (the play takes place in London).
His character also came off as very feminine and gay, which felt out of place with what the text and directing were providing.
Hi! Bye!

Deet, I think the word you're looking for is aloha.
I can't wait to watch AI tonight!
We're also baking peanut butter cookies. For the longest time, I thought my granddad made them from scratch, so I asked for the recipe.
He sent me two bags of Betty Crocker cookie mix.
Gotta love him!
Good evening everybody!
I have an essay to finish halfway tonight, and a Romeo and Juliet scene to fully memorize.
Anyone want to keep me company?
Hey, Roz! Which scene?
We finished GREASE 2, and then started ANNIE, with Bernie and Carol.
GREASE 2 was awful, but ANNIE is better. We're only about an hour into it, but too tired to finish. Ivan has to wake up early for an interview.
We watched AI later than we though, and after about half an hour of trying to vote and getting busy signals, we realized it was after midnight.
I'm thinking about taking a break from BWW. This is going to sound really sad, but why do I feel like an outsider on a message board? I dunno. The **** that's happened over the last few days have pissed me off. First its that asshole somms who just doesn't do anything but provoke me with his lies and bad behavior. I've put up with my bullies all my life and I never though I'd encounter such assholes here. That goes the same for Elphaba. If you don't like me, great. Fine. I don't ****ing care, but ****, be an adult and ignore me. Don't lie and pester me and get me all pissed off. It's so not worth my energy or yours. I feel sorry for people who constantly fight and bicker and just have a all-around negative attitude.
Where does Elphaba get off thinking I abuse men? What the **** gave her that impression? Huh? SOMMS did the same thing the other day and none of you did anything. You laughed along with him. What the **** is up with that?
Here's some of what he said:
"I was referring to your freeloading skills not your writing skills. But then, I have the same opinion about both of them."
When have I ever freeloaded? And he's never read any of my work, so he can't really comment. But some of y'all have. Why didn't anyone say, "I know Austin's a good writer." Why didn't anyone stick up for me that day?
"Here's to the ladies who WORK. Cheers!"
I work my ass off every ****ing day. I write every chance I get. I wrote 10 pages today. 10 yesterday. What do you call it? Wasting my time?
"Posting here does not count as writing."
Like I'm the first one to multitask? How hard is it to think, "oh, so he's doing both at the same time."
Why does everyone presume to know who I am? I try to be as civil as I can be. I don't go around making fights or calling people names. I mind my own business. When I feel like it, I voice my opinion and I'm sorry if it's not like anyone else's.
I want to think of y'all as my friends. I read what y'all say and do with each other and the nice things y'all say about each other, but I don't get any of that. Lately, it's been better, because of Shia, but most of the time I feel looked over. Like, oh, there's Austin. Whatever. Maybe it's because I'm stuck in Vegas. I don't know.
I don't know why I'm taking this so hard. I don't know what I do to make people feel so much animosity. I know I have some different opinions, but I've got as much of a right to express them as everyone else. I'm not sorry for that, but that's no excuse to start a fight.
I've been thinking about this for the last hour and a half and I don't know if I could be friends with any of y'all outside BWW. I've always had trouble keeping friends. I love meeting new people, but after a couple of times hanging out, I dunno what happens. I'm surprised Ivan and me have been together for so long, actually... I would like to forge some real life friendships. I'm a little bit jealous that y'all actually hangout in real life. Or at least know each other.
I know I'm a good person. I don't lie. I don't cheat. I don't steal. I hold doors open for other people. I have pretty well-rounded tastes and hobbies. I know I can write well. But why doesn't anyone else know that? What happens between the time I sit down and the time I press "Post Message"?
Tink said something a while ago that kinda irked me. She said something like, "And you wonder why you're not liked?" I forget the thread, but Emcee jumped on the I-Hate-Austin bandwagon too.
I seriously don't see why people feel the way they do about me. If it's just about my opinions, fine. Whatever. I can handle that. But is it something else? I can only remember one time where I went off on another poster, but he deserved it.
Some of you might not know this, but I was born with Hep C. I'm gonna die sooner than I want to, and before I go, I want to make a positive impact on the world. I want my work to live after me. I'm not saying I want to be Jon Larson, but it'd be nice to have a few fans. I don't want to die with anyone having this false sense of me. I don't want to die knowing people hated me.
This might help, but it might not. I've been upfront and truthful ever since that Zelda incident, which people still bring up like it happened yesterday.
I know what life's about. Life is too short to bicker and complain and start fights. I'm not going to waste my time defending myself anymore, so the bullies can just use it against me.
Be honest. Would you really miss me I was gone?

Good morning everyone!!!
I had to write this paper which I don't even get, so instead I decided to go to sleep early and attempt to write it after ballet.
Morning all!
Foster - I felt very similar to the way you did in regards to The Homecoming. I was just waiting for Lenny to come out in a sack of lemons. It's interesting to hear you say he is still acting very "femine and gay", because some of the Raul girls who used to complain about that and saw it again recently said he toughened up a bit. But then again this is Raul, love him, but tough was never exactly his strong suit.
I TOLD you. :) Not only does he lose his accent all the time, but in NO way would anybody EVER believe that he wants to bone his brother's broad. Do her hair, maybe, but do HER? Not so much.
And he really just is not the strongest actor in that cast, and it shows, tremendously.
Great material, though.
"Do her hair, maybe, but do HER? Not so much."

Ballet was pretty much amazing today!
How's everyone else?
Sore and anxious.
I hate Wednesdays.
