Okay, I've caught up on everything:
The facial recognition site is down, I can't tell you who I look like.
My parents drive me bonkers about going to bed so late. And waking up late. The worst part is that I've been sick, so my sleeping schedule is off-kilter to begin with, but that doesn't stop them, they still feel obligated to complain.

Well, I just found out tomorrow is the last time Rent is playing near me 
Hopefully I'll at least get to take my friend to it in DC.
But it was such a great viewing. It was in a 93-person theatre and I actually enjoyed the front row, everyone's faces looked so big and I got clearer looks of some stuff around the loft that could have been Jonathan's.
And my friend...I took her to the show we she thought was okay, didn't grasp its deeper meaning at the time. Then she told me she loved the movie and would see it again, so we saw it tonight. And we talked after and OMG...she just totally grasped the meaning. See, her younger brother died a little over a year ago, so that's what I thought she would relate to and she said of course that, when she saw Angel at the end smiling she thought of her brother, but also she related it to her slightly abusive ex-boyfriend he didnt give her real love like in rent, and we talked about the messages within, the character's journeys and just...I was soo happy, she's not a big bway fan and w/ all the negativity STILL going on w/ the rent movie(*headdesk*) it was just a great night to have and to hear such a reaction from her.

It's a great feeling when you're able to share with a friend something that means so much to you, and then receive a positive response from them. It's especially great when they're willing to talk about it afterward! I'm glad that you got to experience Rent in that way with your friend.
My friend (who I'd taken to see Rent) recently took her mom to see the movie. Her mom's brother died of AIDS in the 80's. It was really touching to hear my friend's mom talk about the movie afterward - she said it really hit home, especially the song "Will I?" and the "Without You" montage.
Guess what...it turns out there was a misunderstanding about the green chair from the movie that I won on ebay - I'm picking it up next week!

Hi everyone! It's been amazing to see how Rent has touched so many people recently. A lot of my friends have come to love and understand it's message. Now my friends are talking about it and singing along with it more than I am. Hehehe
Since it's late and I'll probably be busy tomorrow and the day after, I just wanted to wish everyone in advance a very Merry Christmas! You guys are seriously the best! I've had so much fun reading this thread for the past year. Thanks for all the fun times.
Yes, I'm pinay. And I'm proud of it!

I was just looking for this thread.
Well, I hate being home, but such is life. My brother beats the crap out of me, my parents let it happen. They also make fun of me, and get upset when I'm actually offended. And, everyone gets mad when I don't adjust easily to being here, when I haven't been here for more than a day or two in about 6 months. My brother wants to go somewhere on Monday night, and my mom does, too, but it throws off plans I have for the rest of the week; I want to go to it, but there's that, and the fact that I just can't do a car trip with my family right now. I'll go nuts. My mom says I don't have to go, but I know she doesn't mean that; she'll be mad. Oh well.
Happy holidays, everybody.

JL hit it on the head, Emcee. You're changing and your family isn't as much. It's a difficult time. I hope things get better.
Thanks for the videos. I thought I could see the movie today because a couple of theaters here were listing it yesterday, but now it's gone. Sad, but my last screening was with someone special who really loved it, so I feel good about that.

*buries head in hands* I can't take much more of this.
My younger brother has a really nasty temper when he doesn't get his way, and when it flares, it puts everyone else at odds with each other. Last night, when we fought, it was on the grounds that I should give in to and abide by his rules because "I live in this house more than you do, whore." He told my mom about it this morning, but made up some story about how I lunged at him and "beat" him. She yelled at me and said I need to be less confrontational.
Before he got into his mood, he said he wanted to go upstate to see this orchestra perform, and I really would've liked that, but now that he's in such a nasty mood, I don't want to spend any time with him. So I told my parents no, but that wasn't good, because they'd get mad at me for not going and ruining the "family time" thing. So then I said I would go, because then they wouldn't be mad at me for not going, and besides, if I didn't go, I'd be stranded at home, alone anyway. That wasn't good enough either, because my mom said I should *want* to spend time with them. So then she decided not to go at all, which of course would mean that my family could now hold me responsible for ruining their night. I said the three of them should go, and I wouldn't ruin their time, but *that* wasn't okay either, because I already f'ed everything up and now no one was going.
I tried to fix it, but my mom and I just ended up screaming at each other. This is why I never come home -- I just can't be satisfactory, even if I try. Everything I do and say is wrong. I slammed the door, which my mother has now half-removed from its hinge. She basically threatened to stab me with the screw-driver while doing so, and threatened to kick me out of the house, literally leaving me with my bags outside in the cold. I told her that this is exactly why I never come home, and after she gave me an argument a month ago about being hurt that I don't come home often, she told me that I shouldn't bother ever coming home again. She got all upset and said that she thought this would be a pleasant week, but of course it isn't because I'm still the same brat I was last year -- and in my eyes, it isn't going to be any fun because I can never, ever do anything right. I will never please my family. I don't know what they want from me, but nothing I offer is okay.
I have no one to spend New Years' Eve with, either. I feel terribly awkward around all of my old friends, because living in the city has changed me so much.
I truly have no place here anymore, save for the physical space enclosed by my bedroom walls. I just can't do this anymore. I don't belong here.
I hope you all are having a nice Christmas Eve, though. Hannukah starts tomorrow night, but I can't imagine that will be very nice.

Emcee I feel your pain. I have been home a week now and the problems just keep building up. I have 5 older siblings who all live at home right now and make it their life's goal to annoy the crap out of me. My sister lives in what used to be my room so the only place that is "mine" is the living room couch. My dad is a complete and total bigot and I can't stand being around him when he is being anti-anyone who isn't a white/straight/American/male/rich/born-again Christian. My mom tries to take my side and make me feel better, but then I just feel bad for him yelling at her. It's crazy and stressful, and I think we college students need to knock some sense into our families to get them to realize that we aren't middle schoolers anymore- and that we can make our own decisions.
Okay, sorry that took longer than expected... When I talk about my family I just keep going like the Energizer Bunny or Adam during a bouncy song in sparkly pants (see how I brought that back on topic? That was talent at its finest!) Anywho, I hope the rest of your break goes well, happy holidays!!!!
