He's usually pretty chill and friendly.

What did he say to you? I would've been like 'uhhhhhh um.... *die*'

oh I cannot remember at ALL. it was like, a thousand years ago...but I was actually pretty calm about it...I had met a few people by that time and was very much in this chill with the Broadway stars kind of place...now, when Nathan Lane called on the phone, I nearly fell out of my chair.

For my internship this summer, I almost had to call Edward Albee, Michael Cerveris, Kevin Bacon and Daphne Rubin-Vega... to name a few. I was petrified, and made someone else do it.

I freak out around Adam more than I do about most people. And that's A LOT. I just go totally, completely mute. He tries so hard, too! He'll be like "hi, how are you?" "*stare*"

Aw, I'm sorry you didn't make those calls, but I understand your feelings. So... completely mute? Not even a "hi?" The poor guy must be starting to wonder if it's something about him.

Kook, you've reminded me of a moment recently when I saw Nathan Lane wandering down a hall where I work. He was looking for the men's room and had gotten turned around, so I pointed the way to him. He seemed very relieved.

Oh. My. God. If I had to call those people, I would probably faint, revive myself, then freak out. I have no idea if I would do it or not.

I have a phone complex. I don't call people, even people I know, unless it's absolutely necessary. So, calling people like that was just way too much. I couldn't do it.

I usually just grin and stare. Sometimes I say hi. It depends. And it IS something about him! He's just so completely stunning. I hate that I let myself get that way.

Yes, I was pretty stunned when I saw him from around fifteen feet away recently. He just... radiated. I had the same feeling when I saw Jennifer Ehle in the lobby after the Noel Coward play she was in a few years back (with Alan Cumming and Dominic West, I believe). She and the other cast members were collecting for BC/EFA, and she just totally stood out. She was like a goddess, one of my friends said. Adam emits a godlike quality too.

I hate calling people, because I'm always afraid I'll dial the wrong number. Once, I was trying to call my friend Molly, whose number has a lot of 4s, 5s, and 0s, but instead called the number of a family whose house we'd been staying at. They have a very similar number, and I misremembered. Ironically, they also have a daughter named Molly, so when I asked to speak to "Molly," the mom didn't think anything was out of the ordinary. She said 'Can I tell her who's calling?" I told her, and she was like "Oh, HI! How are you?" Then I got confused, because my friend Molly's mom doesn't know me. I realized as the wrong Molly was coming to the phone, and I had to make up this reason for calling her that sounded SO stupid. I was moritified, and never told them what happened.
ETA~ She's also three years younger than me, so I really had no real reason to be calling her, which made it even worse.
So that's one reason I hate calling people.

When I meet Broadway people, I'm usually able to be coherent and say SOMETHING. But, I haven't met Raul or Adam yet, so you never know...

Thank God for him.

I'm usually very quiet, but mildly coherent. I must look like I haven't a brain cell when I meet Adam. Maybe Mr. Rapp will put in a good word. heh. "You know the one who never talks to you? She actually speaks!"

Amen, Emcee!

That's a funny story, Elphie. I've done that too. After a couple of decades I learned that it's okay to say something like "I'm totally out of it and dialled your number by mistake. Please just shoot me now." Honesty often is the best policy, but it seems to take an awfully long time to come to believe it.

I am deathly afraid of calling people for that reason. Once I tried calling my friend and ending up calling this lab place. It was weird.

*is listening to Civilian*

[Chloe]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 6:30pm

Civilian, yum. I just listened to Love Heals for the umpteenth time (it's the only soundtrack song I'm listening to at the moment - want to save the rest for the movie). It sounds better every time.

Hi theatrebabe. I wonder if lots of people have phone issues, or if there's a concentration of them on this thread for some reason? I had trouble making calls for years.

[theatrebabe]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 6:33pm

Yea, it's weird. And, I hate calling people I don't know.

Hey lovies! I spent the whole day at a five year olds birthday party. What joy. I finally got that soundtrack ( there were shipping problems yada yada) and I even got pretty Adam on the cover! Score!

I hate calling people as well. I get all nervous that I'll say something wrong.

I was speechless when I met Adam. It was just brain pleasure process overload, with Adam, Idina, and the rest of the cast infront of me. I remember smiling a lot, saying thank you a bajillion times after the signed my book. But it was a little rough because of the exchange of books, playbills, and posters being shoved left and right.

When I met Anthony I sort of had a conversation with him, which was very nice.

I just know that I'm awful at putting people on hold.

*joins* I hate the phone, too. I think it's a pretty common thing. Once I get talking to the person it's fine, but to pick up the phone and call, like, the bank or something? Not. Good. I have to call the student loan people tomorrow. *shudders* I've been putting it off for a week already.

I had to work in a call center this summer so I got used to calling strangers. It's not so bad because they're not talking to ME, they're talking to the company. I am nobody. Friends, on the other hand... too wierd. What if you're interrupting them? What if you get the wrong number? What if their parent or hot older brother pick up and you're not sure how to talk to them or whether or not to leave a message?

*breaks out in hives*

[Allie]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 7:36pm

Whoa... all the writing on the site got SMALLER... all of a sudden. *blinks*

I have two friends who are brother and sister. Whenever I call for him, I always feel bad asking, if she answers. Then there's the whole, "Well, I only need a question answered. If their mom answers, who do I ask for? I want them both to feel loved!"

Do hives itch? *scratches*

Did you change the settings on your web browser Allie?

The phone isn't terrible, you can always hang up and hope that they don't have caller id.

[Allie]

Posted: 10/2/05 at 7:45pm

Uhmmm... no. I didn't think I did, until I went to View: Font Size: Increase and it went back to normal. *blushes* Oops!

Marlene: always the voice of reason.

I've been known to make calls are really obscure times, so I know I'll get an answering machine. I'm far better at leaving messages, because you can know what you're going to say and it won't get thrown off by how the person on the other end acts toward you.

That's also why I like cell phones -- because your friend's family isn't going to pick up their cell phone. You know who you'll be talking to.

But, everybody knows that the best way to reach me is via internet communication. I really dislike phones.

[colleen_lee]

I totally have a phone complex too.

I'll call when I KNOW I'm going to get an answering machine.

Otherwise I do most of my communication via e-mail/internet. If I need to call a business or have some sort of question, etc. I'll look all over the internet or try and send an e-mail before I'll call. Calling is always a last resort.

I don't even like answering the phone though I am more willing to do that than to place a call.
