aaaaaaaaagh Adam is performing in Boston. On my mother's birthday. I have people I can visit there, even!

Oooh, that's exciting, Emcee! Where'd you hear that?

Scroll down. Compared to Cincinatti, going to this is so fully-baked. I have friends at schools in Boston that I should visit, and I can get from here to there REALLY cheaply on the Chinatown bus. Why are they testing me like this?

Won't your mom understand? Or is she hardcore about wanting you there on her birthday? Maybe you can celebrate with her the day after...

And he's not only performing, but it's an evening with Adam Pascal. I wonder what that means. *is excited that Adam's doing something and for anyone who will be able to go!!!*

Ahh, reading. I have to admit, I often go to the bookstore right before a boring class and buy something that looks interesting from the remainders table to read during class. I know that's bad, but I wouldn't really be paying attention in the class anyway and it's a great chance to read a book without having the computer around to distract me.

Oooh, Boston. *searches for excuse to go visit high school friend who goes to BU*

Oooh, Jordan Knight! Go see him instead, Em!

I would TOTALLY use the "I must go visit these friends!" thing. Dooo it!

Well, I don't know. She had a huge party last year that I made a special trip to go home for even though I had way too much work. I thought maybe she would go with me, but if I can stay with my friends it's cheaper -- and I'll be damned if MY MOTHER wants to spend her birthday seeing Adam Pascal. For all I know it might be during my midterms, alas.

yeah, Allie ... it sucks.


I think the letter is a good idea ... It is sad that it might not win awards, but when I think of all the movies that are "classics" in the sense that we've all seen them and love them and picture them as important pieces of our lives ... it gets sad in general. Sure, I liked Million Dollar Baby and it won awards, but it sure isn't a movie that I will wear out like Dirty Dancing, Wayne's World, Cutting Edge, Center Stage, the disney movies, etc. (Hmm, I'm kind of dating myself with that list!)

Posted: 1/10/06 at 7:46pm

Em -- oh, I see. My mother's never really been one to throw huge parties for her birthday (or my birthday, for that matter), so that's why I didn't see the birthday as a real potential problem. Well, good luck figuring everything out!

Does anyone know of any scheduled shows for Adam in late 2006?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/10/06 at 7:51pm

Well, last year was her 50th, so she wanted a party. We're in a rather big fight right now, but in the long run, she knows that Adam is embarassingly important to me. Maybe I'll stop home first and go from home to Boston, since the show is late that night.

I wish I could go. I'm assuming that he won't venture across the border.

While we're on the subject of mothers and birthdays, my mom's birthday is today and she's busy being pissed off that certain relatives and family friends forgot to call and wish her a happy birthday or send a card (my mom is slightly obsessed with cards, and no matter how nice a gift someone gives her, if they forget to put a card with it, they're on the sh*t list big-time. I learned this the hard way a few years ago.) Strangely enough, she likes to get all of the birthday hoopla out of the way before her actual birthday so she doesn't have to spend that day worrying if people will acknowledge it.

Posted: 1/10/06 at 7:59pm

heh. Today is my 1/2 birthday. I celebrate all by myself while people look at me oddly. :)

If a 6 year old can celebrate turning 6 1/2 I can celebrate turning 26 1/2 :)

My mom's birthday is the day after the DVD comes out. She doesn't like having birthdays, so we usually just do quiet things, I think she enjoys that but she doesn't want to say anything about it. My dad on the otherhand, likes to party. It was his 50th on Halloween and we threw a surprise party for him, he complained the whole week leading up to it because we weren't doing anything for him.

Em, you can't miss midterms, but otherwise I'd say go... your mom has been... well, slightly undeserving of a daughter.

Happy 1/2 Birthday JL!

My mom's birthday is 4 days after mine, so we usually just have a nice dinner to celebrate them both.

[CanadianSnowbird]

Posted: 1/10/06 at 8:05pm

JL, I celebrate my half birthday too. It's not 'til March though.

[orangeskittles]

My mom's birthday is 5 days after I go back to school. I had lunch with my grandparents today and my grandma got on my case about me not being able to be there. What, was she expecting me to fly home after 4 days back at school? Or just skip the first week of classes?

I would so go there, but I feel like I'm not a big enough Adam fan yet to justify the 20 hour bus ride to Boston from Syracuse. I have 2 months to work on it though

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/10/06 at 8:09pm

It's 20 hours? Yikes. It's three for me.

Posted: 1/10/06 at 8:15pm

Ooh, this is exciting. I have two good friends at BU--sure I could stay w/ one. Granted, neither of them would care the least bit about Adam. Ooh, but my friend I'm seeing tonight goes to Brandeis and loves him, I'll mention it to her. I could drive up for the weekend. Maybe if some people who live in or near the city/suburbia can get to me, we could do some carpooling--beneficial for everyone including me--company and less money spent on gas

Well, if I go I'm not driving. I don't have my own car.

"my mom is slightly obsessed with cards, and no matter how nice a gift someone gives her, if they forget to put a card with it, they're on the sh*t list big-time. I learned this the hard way a few years ago.)"

Hah! Sounds like my mom. She saves every single card I've ever given her.

I wish I didn't live in the miiidddwest.

I can't figure out the time, but it's about 550 miles away from me.

Posted: 1/10/06 at 8:23pm

I go to Boston fairly often; it's really close to home. This isn't so half-baked.
