The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, Part 12 — Page 88

by the way misschung I LOVE your avatar (is that spelled right?)did you take it yourself?

is that a choice or circumstance?

Of course it's a circumstance. Why on earth would fans big enough to post in an "Adam Pascal Love Thread" choose not to see him if remotely possible? You could ask them for yourself (or read the posts in this thread where they've talked about it) but Canadian Snowbird lives in, well, Canada, and Dancinqueen and brina both live in the Midwest. You're an adult, so you have the ability to decide to drop everything and drive 10 hours just for a concert. These other posters don't have the financial ability or the permission from their own parents to do something that extreme. I'm pretty sure you said in another post that if your daughter had not been having surgery, you *would* have flown across country to see Adam and Anthony in Rent.

I just think it's really spoiled and self-centered to whine about Adam not being at your beckon call, even if it is for "your daughter", when you both have seen him recently (yes, 6 months ago is recently, not a "looooong time") and these other posters have been very vocal in the past about how much they want to see him, but how their situations really do make it impossible to see Adam. In fact, Canadian Snowbird doesn't post as often anymore because she was so frustrated by posters whining about having to wait 3 whole months for the next opportunity to see Adam while she's NEVER seen him and is still managing to survive. They have an excuse to be pissed and jealous; you're just being greedy.

As skittles said I'm from the Midwest; plus I'm currently a broke 16 year old not having the ability to travel to NYC. It's also alot about my parents financial situation as well. I mean, I have to admit that most if not all my friends are incredibly spoiled. About 6 of them for there 16th birthdays recieved shopping sprees and theatre tickets to NYC; but my parents could never and will never afford to do anything like that. (Besides, I'd rather have the roses they gave me over anything that expensive )

My point is it's not that I don't want to see him; its just very unlikely and highly unrealistic for me to just drop everything and go see a show in New York. Its my dream and my goal to go to school in NYC, so I always hold on to my wish of being there someday.

Hmm, I honestly have not looked into it as much as I should be (*blushes*) Buuut I really love Barnard college (I hope I didn't misspell it, one of the posters use to go there!), and NYU. I love to write; but I also hope to look into a vocal performance program. I know this may sound silly; but I love to sing and would like to one day become an opera singer. It's my fantasy career none the less

You can make it there someday Jenna, I know you can!

My problem is I can hit all the high notes (currently my highest is a C above high C, but last week I miracuosly hit an E; which was shizzy), but my choir teacher stuck me in the alto section
:-X Ah well, it'll be fun all the same.

---

The thing is I have a very weird range; I can hit all the high notes and I can go really low as well (lowest is D below middle C.) Anyway, I think the thing at our school is the opposite from what was you'res; way to many sopranos and not enough altos lol. But it'll be dandy, I'm not to concerned about it.

"You're an adult, so you have the ability to decide to drop everything and drive 10 hours just for a concert."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say California to NY is probably more than ten hours.

Also, isn't that statement a little naive? I dont know why we always have to have these disagreements on this thread - I mean, we all love Adam and want to see him as much as possible. Is that so wrong?

---

Right, I agree. The key phrase is "if the situation permitted it" - all I'm saying is that stuff comes up and adult, teen, or not, it doesnt always work out, you know?


Anyway, Brina - if you're interested in vocal performance, I highly recommend SUNY Purchase in addition to the schools you're already looking into :)

I don't really see anything wrong with disagreeing from time to time. Just because we all like Adam doesn't mean we've got to be one big, happy family. No fandom is like that; that's just the way it is. I mean, just because we all like Adam, we don't have the right to think that some measures are a bit unreasonable? Everyone has their own comfort zone and circumstances. Everyone has a point they're willing to go to. I flew 500 miles to see the Company revival before it had any plans to come to New York. I was able to make the trip, it felt right, and it was very meaningful to me, but a lot of people (some who knew me and some who didn't) felt the need to make judgements about me for it -- a lot of times on the basis of "well, I wouldn't do that." That production has become the love of my life, and I know I made the right decision, even though many disagreed or wouldn't do the same themselves. While I don't believe in actually imposing your personal feelings about such matters on other people and telling them what they may or may not do, and while what people said to me in that situation WAS undoubtedly uncomfortable, people voice their feelings. It happens. Those decisions are personal things, but if you're going to do stuff that might seem outrageous, then you're setting yourself up for dissent.

so mature, but yet so funny! orangeskittles you are so amusing, so do you feel better yet, trying to put me down? you haven't the sightest clue who I am.and what you think of me doesn't affect me in the least.you are really wasting your time. cuz your just making me laugh.

Considering your response has nothing to do with my actual post and is basically the equivilant of "I know you are, but what am I", you've only further proved my point regarding your maturity level. The sad thing is that I'm probably half your age.

"hehe"? Seriously? I've been on the recieving end of scorn from contentious Adam Pascal fans, robin3. Maybe you should just give up before you bust a gut.

As far as the discussion of circumstance goes? There are those who can, those who can't, and those who shouldn't - but do. I'm proud to represent the third camp.

I still maintain he dyes too much to tell how grey he may/may not be. I'm thinking the grey could be pretty attractive. Five years from now.

Let's just hope we don't have to worry about any plastic surgery debacles. That's a much harder subject than hair, sparkly jeans, and loud print shirts.


(totally garnering nip/tuck advice from the ladies. hopefully he discarded any doctor recommendations.)
