*hands Emcee self-discipline*

I need to talk with my parents, because my mom is fine with my going, but I honestly don't see how my dad is going to be fine with it. "Why do you need to go to NYC?" "To see Rau- I mean, college interviews!"

Thanks, Chrys, I'll definitely check it out, and thanks Emcee. I'll let you know.
Now I'm all excited! *bounce*

A Chitty party needs to happen. It just does.

well here is what my sad little mind thinks...if we can get enough people together...we HAVE to be able to swing something like going backstage or SOMETHING....in my DREAMS AT LEAST! haha. i mean really though! we are like the ULTIMATE Chittyheads...haha...chittyheads.

My mom calls me a chithead. Haha.

I was supposed to go backstage. But the girl got sick. Oh well. But you know, first on my list is getting a minute or two to talk to Raúl and just thank him... for everything.

lol, if it were that easy, kook.

g, that's so mean!!

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:14pm

i like to pretend sometimes that it is that easy, em. haha. i don't know if i could ever express to Raúl to his face what i really think of him. i know it would come out all wrong.

I think it will be hard. But I also think he deserves to hear the words face to face. Even if it would mean the same to him on paper... I just want to do it in person.

It would be fun to meet up since I spend so many hours yapping on this thread to you all. Haha.

I meant going backstage, but that too! I think that may be harder, 'cause it's some personal thing you have to go and do.

I'm open for a meet-up, though.

I went backstage for Cabaret. And I will *never* forget it. Ever.

I'm trying to get backstage at Sweeney, but he said if it does happen, it will be after previews. Boo hoo.

[thetheatrekook]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:22pm

i've never been backstage. and i don't have any connections to get me backstage. boo for that. hehe. i think a meet-up would be craaaazy! but crazy fun, of course.

k, wait. So, should I try for the weekend of the 28th? decisions...

Chrys, I don't see x fares. Is that what it's called? Is there a button on the main airtran page I should click on?

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:24pm

I've been backstage at Wicked. It was something I will never forget. I stood on the stage and it was so powerful. I don't even want to be an actress or anything but there's just something about standing on a Broadway stage that so many incredible people have stood on. It was great.

Oh gosh. I think it would be a lot of fun.

Damn, It says you have to bee 18. I didn't realize that. But, just for future situations, here is the link:

The thing with being backstage, as honored as I felt to be there and as unforgettable it was and as lucky as I am, etc, is that I felt really oddly out of place. :-/

g, I don't want to act at all either, so I didn't think standing on stage would be emotional for me at all, but it WAS really powerful. You feel so tiny, but like you can take over the world all at once.

Oh well, thanks anyway, Chrys. I'll keep searching around.

You guys, I'm taking the SAT tomorrow. I don't wanna. *pout* It's so LONG.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:31pm

*patpat* Good luck!

[greatdct]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:33pm

Yeah exactly! I felt so small! But you're right. It does feel like you are in the way. And I happened to go backstage before a show on the day that there was a fire in the theatre. So people were running all over the place trying to stop the fire and get the smell out before the audience came. I was uncomfortable.

It is weird that I'm literally counting down the days until I get to see the show again? I just feel like I've learned so much more about him and been so moved after The Noraml Heart. It will be like seeing a totally different man. Ah. I can't wait.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:34pm

ugh, you guys, my roommate just put on "American Pyscho" and I'm petrified after reading the IMDB synopsis.

And no way, not weird.

[greatdct]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:36pm

Oh my gosh! I can't believe you just mentioned that movie. It was on TV a few nights ago and it scared me to death!

[thetheatrekook]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:38pm

i've seen parts of it...it was more wierd than scary....but i didn't see the whole thing. that's the movie with Christian Bale, right?

[gavrochegirl]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:38pm

Oh my god. Leo is too cute...and is very playful!

My mom and I were watching "50 Great Things About Being Queer" when Leo was playing with his feather toy.

"Could Leo be gay?", I asked.
"Maybe....", my mom told me.

Don't worry, we were kidding.

Just the name sounds scary. *shudder* I HATE scary movies.

OMG! How long has it been since you guys have seen The Lion King? The movie, that is. GO WATCH IT. Or at least watch the part where Timon "dresses in drag and does the hula." THE. FUNNIEST. THING. EVER. It's so funny I actually couldn't laugh. We rewound it about 5 times.

[gavrochegirl]

Posted: 10/8/05 at 9:41pm

I think I actually have The Lion King...but I think I might watch a few episodes of 3rd Rock and Robots tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
