ah, totally agree. still, the idea of the whole thing is quite funny.
I'm off to bed. Send me all your good wishes tomorrow - I think I'll need them. I have to get up real early and go to the theatre and try to get it ready for a swarm of kids. I'm working a special early matinee for DC school kids. (The last time I did this, two of the ladies pulled a knife on me when I asked them to sit down so we could start the show). Then I have to run about a mile and a half over to the Smithsonian to work there in the afternoon. Then home so I can crash in a bubble bath. If I survive that (OR if I can get my pc hooked up in the bathroom) I'll see some of you during the cam tomorrow evening.
Good night!
good lucky mamie!
Good luck Mamie.
Aww, I'm upset, one of my best friends is going through a *really* tough time. First one of her good friends' boyfriends died and her oldest sister has been having symptoms where she got a CAT scan and said nothing was wrong w/ her but she's still been having problems so she's getting looked out again and her younger sister has this disease not life-threatening, but can cause some psychological disturbances, I was just on the phone w/ her for an hour.
Fortunately, she is as close as any of my friends as being my clone so I know how to cheer her up, she mentioned watching stupid shows she doesn't even know what they are, corny I'm like I'm you, you know whatever it is I watch it...she admits Full House I'm like of course! Who doesn't? And then I started encouraging her to watch more little kid stuff and she has Disney videos and then once at her house we watched a Disney sing along videotape we were soo embarassed we laugh at ourselves but we can admit to each other we liek it...she admitted she watched it the ohter day, so I started singing the theme song for her which is now stuck in my head...I totally cracked her up on the stupid bird who says "but I don't know all the songs." She hates him. I think i helped cheer her up, but still I feel awful. i told her to call me absolutely anytime except of course during a bway show.
aww amanda, i'm sorry. i love that disney theme song!
guess what mamie? I'm watching To Kill a Mocking Bird.
Aww, that's such a great book Dre! One of my favs I was forced to read in school.
I am hardly an asshole. I feel terrible for anyone who thinks I attacked Amanda because if you think that was an attack or in any way implicating jealousy then you're wrong and your immediate deffensiveness presents the question of "If you thought that was an attack, what's going to happen when someone really does say something mean and hurtful to you?".
I am not a person who assumes. I told Amanda this (and she readily agrees with me) that I have a job to preserve the good nature of people's names who are in this business or who work closely with me. Amanda admitted to me that she was in deed not friends with anyone in the cast, so please, stop calling me an asshole. I don't think you have a clue what you're getting yourself in to. I know who most every single one of you are. I see you all on a regular basis. And no, you don't know me, so don't try to figure out who I am. We've never spoken. You don't need to know who I am. And believe you me, I'm sure you're all going to take what I'm saying to be harsh and with the desire to hurt someone, but I'm not typing this with dreadful intentions in mind. I am typing this with a level head and an informative hand. Do not call me an asshole or assume (because it is hypocrtical) that I am jealous.
If it is fierce loyalty to your sweet friend Amanda that invokes you to call me an asshole or to assume that I am jealous, then you are wonderful, amazingly good friends, and I am applauding you. So please, don't take this post as a message of attack or fight. I appreciate you all. And I did not attack your friend. I'm not here to pick fights. I know you're going to percieve that (probably from my writing style) that I am attacking you, but I am not. I have a message to you from a broadway star that you need to hear: "It is hard for us as celebrities to make ourselves available to you guys. Some people get attatched and take the relationship for more than what it is. No hard feelings, but it's just the way things are."
So while you may think I was attacking your friend Amanda, I was in fact making a small statement that everyone needs to hear once in a while. Things between Amanda and I are wonderful and I can assure you she is going to continue being treated wonderfully at the stagedoor, at benefits and at bowling, so you do not need to worry about me.
SirLirr- You're a good friend to wickedrentq.
By the way, if anyone feels so inclined to give me a smart ass response, you can be warned that you're the one who is partaking in the attacking, because I have already told you that this post is simplistic and despite what the words are, completely void of any attacking or intent of being an asshole. As far as my jealousy goes, I admit I am extremely jealous of those girls who can eat whatever they want and manage to stay quite thin!

mamie! you changed you avatar! and this time the whole thing! wow! love it! (it's actually my desktop picture)
Hi Dre. (I have insomnia) Yes, with Annie's permission, I now will use Gregory Claus as my avatar. Scout will return after the holidays. She's my soul sister you know. Since I can't sleep anyway, I think I'll put "Mockingbird" on the tube and watch it again.....for about the 300th time!

wow, everyone likes my work, right Mamie and Dre?
Oh and I have the To Kill a Mocking Bird soundtrack in my mp3 player so I am listening to it every day...I love it!
Cam today
Marcy X: I withdraw my asshole comment. Peace
Marcy X you are scaring me lol.. You know us? Do I have to watch myself when I am in the city hehe Anyway, thank you for explaining your position in an intelligent and well thought out post. Now that is settled and our viewpoints clear, I hope everything will be peaceful. Thats my job on the boards it seems. To be the peacemaker. Oh and to hopefully provide some intellectual discourse. That hopefully happens ^^ (Edit: And to promote Norbert. Can't forget that)
Kerrie, Kat and I would love to get a card and maybe something small for him as a small gift (won't say as Greg may be watching >.>). How should I get it to you? If you are coming to the Rent with Fredi next Friday, I could give it to you there?
I figured it out...Marci X is God!! This explains so much...
"By the way, if anyone feels so inclined to give me a smart ass response"
Oops...
*runs out*
Ryan, yeah, you can give the card and whatever to me at the Rent thing, that'd be good. I'm happy to deliver anything. That goes for the rest of you, as well. Though if you need to mail something, do it soon, I leave to go home on December 22nd.
Greg went to Michigan State right? Was watching college b-ball in the union last night and they were on TV. They won against Boston College 77-70. I don't normally watch b-ball on TV, but I was eating dinner so I figured why not.

So we send all gifts, cards to this address, right?? That's the address on the DRS site...but what's the zip code? It's left off the address, is NYC so elite that zip codes don't apply?

Dre, I'm not witty enough to make slogans like that. It's a slogan generator.
