I'm going stark raving mad. I was meant to move in August until things got messed up.

Maybe you'll be there while I am.

G! you should TOTALLY see rent then...not because my friend will be in it by then or anything...i'm just sayin. :)

I was thinking about it, actually. I haven't seen Rent in so long. And I'm really curious about the current cast. I also really want to see Sweeney.

I'm thinking maybe Dec 3-4. Then I can go to the 2 other shows and still see the Chitty matinee on Sunday (which is good, because then Raul has to leave!)

I'll be at the Chitty matinee on that Sunday!

G! I thought you were laying off the Chitty for a while! haha...yeah, you should definately check out the current Rent cast...I was actually WAY impressed. super talented.

I'm trying! But I have to see it once while I am there. I don't have much more time.

I'll go incognito. Hair up and glasses!

Don't forget the trenchcoat!

So, it's penciled-in my planner. My credit card bills are going to be throw the roof for December. Then again, I think everyone's are supposed to be because of the holidays. I'm just being selfish this year.

I haven't seen Antonique yet, but the rest of the Rent cast seemed good. But just a tip: if anyone hears Marcus Paul James is going to be in as Collins, RUN don't walk to the Nederlander. He's UH-mazing!

I've heard SO many good things about Marcus as Collins! SO MANY! I would LOVE to see him.

You guys, I am so bad. SO BAD. Yesterday at Hebrew School(3rd grade), we were writing in Hebrew, looking at English letters and writing the word in Hebrew. So, it was my turn to write the word on the board, and guess what I wrote? Yup. "rah-ool eh-sp-ahr-za" I am such a lunatic.

I dare you to wear a trenchcoat, g.

Elphie, the kids are going to think you're insane!

[greatdct]

Posted: 11/15/05 at 9:35pm

I don't own one. How about a big pea coat?

I probably will have to hide in some way. The ushers there HATE me. I mean, absolutely hate me. They try to make my life hell. It's funny most of the time. But sometimes I'm just not in the mood.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 11/15/05 at 9:36pm

Why do they hate you??

My co-teacher thinks I'm insane! The kids just thought it was a funny word.

It's quite a story. I don't really know why. It's mostly one usher. As soon as she found out that I'm a fan of Raúl's she's been a bitch to me. And she doesn't even know me. Haha. She puts on a snob act and says things like "Well, I work at his theatre. We've been friends for a few years." Random stuff like that to try and make me jealous, I guess? But I'm not.

It got really bad, though. To the point where she started following me around. She always gives me death stares. And if I start talking to a cast member (especially Raúl) then she watches every move I make and runs over to try and take the attention off of me.

It's very weird. I actually feel kind of sorry for her. I guess she thinks I'm invading her territory? I actually talked to some of the stage moms about it and they said that the girl used to think that Raúl was interested in her. So maybe she doesn't like him talking to me.

I really don't know. It's amusing but a pain in the ass.

I hate people who flaunt the fact that they know someone as a reason to make people who don't, or who haven't known them (or known OF them) for as long feel badly. I hate people with an air of entitlement or sense of ownership. A lot. It bothers me; you don't have some claim on the actor. It's annoying, obnoxious and honestly, a little creepy.

The fact that she used to think he was interested in her is just laughable! And I love that she feels threatened by a fan.

Elphie, where'd your avatar go to?

I hate it, too. And if she really is a "friend" of his - what kind of friend would try to scare off his fans?

It's just gotten so uncomfortable, though. Because she ALWAYS is watching me. There was one point where I was standing outside of the theatre and happened to look inside the glass door and there she was... watching me.

I think it's funny, too. And she must still think that he is. I can't see why else she would be so determined to keep him away from me.

It was kind of shocking how much my being there was upsetting her. People are so weird. I was just seeing the show. That shouldn't bother her.

I want to see Marcus as Collins with Justin, I only saw him on tour. I was so bummed the last time I went there and Destan was out, but Phillip Dorian McAdoo was on as Collins instead. He was horrible. And Marcus is totally #1 Collins understudy, so it just sucked that the one day they have Phillip on is the day I go.

Anyway, back to Raul.

Elphie, I said earlier that I started singing "You Two" at work. I work in a daycare. I started dancing around with the kids, until one little girl pointed out there were four of them with me. Oops.

g, I've had some interesting Chitty usher experiences as well. One woman was so nice, she talked my ear off. The other guy told me I had bad taste for liking Raul. It's like the polar extremes.

hahahaa. Sounds familiar.

Like you're going to take his attention away from her. God forbid. All of the LOVE he has for her, I'm sure.

UGH, I don't know! I mean, I deleted it to try and upload another one, and it won't work! I don't know what to do. I tried taking it from photobucket, fan photos, and my files on my computer, and none of it worked! I keep getting either that grey box thing at the bottom of the screen, or a blue box with pink writing. HELP!

Are they JPEG images?

[Alix7272]

Posted: 11/15/05 at 10:04pm

ooo, maybe I can see Chitty that weekend too? I have to just pick a date and go no matter what.

I wish I could help Elphie. I don't have much avatar experience - I've never changed mine since the day I set up my account. I've thought about it, but I like Sydney. Although, recently I thought that it might be a little weird, even though people have pictures from all kinds of things.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 11/15/05 at 10:06pm

I tend to get confused when people change their avatars, because I'm so used to associating someone's posts with the picture.

[greatdct]

Posted: 11/15/05 at 10:06pm

Haha. Exactly!

I guess I should thank her for the entertainment, though. But when she followed me down the street talking really loudly about Raúl trying to hug her... obviously wanting me to overhear. That was just pathetic.

Anyway, I need something to munch on.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/15/05 at 10:09pm

That's so weird. That's all.

[Alix7272]

Posted: 11/15/05 at 10:10pm

I get really confused that way too. Plus, I like to think that it's a symbolic picture of me, since I have red, or more reddish maybe, hair. Corny, I know. And who wouldn't want to be Sydney Bristow?

That is pathetic and immature.
