Teehee, I love that part. He and Billy Crudup are so hilarious.

g! Did you like Rent?

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 5:45pm

Yay, Rent! I'm going to see it with my dad in about an hour! I'm slightly scared...

Okeydokey, I have two questions!
1) When exactly is Company playing?
2) When sending pictures of you and Raul to be signed, how big are they? Do you send 3x5s or bigger pics? Also, are they actual photos on glossy paper (ie, the kind you get from the photo place), or are they just printed from your computers. Thanks. I want to do this right!

1. March 14-April 14.
2. As big as you want.

Did I forget to mention yesterday that Raul is sexier in person than he is in his photos?

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 6:06pm

Now I am so tempted to send a life-sized picture of him to sign, just because Em said I can.

HA!

DO IT, SKITTLES!

The only way I would ever do it would be to send a note along saying "I only did this to make you laugh" or something. I wouldn't want to scare him.

And this:

"Did I forget to mention yesterday that Raul is sexier in person than he is in his photos?"

Is definitely true.

Thanks. Oh my GOD, Raul is so sexy in person.

I feel wierd sending him an 8x11 photo of us. But then I could hang it on my wall! hmmmmmmmmm.

Oh my God.

I just got an angry IM from my mother telling me that next time my grandmother calls me, I should actually talk to her and not act like having a conversation is pulling teeth. Now, this morning, my grandmother called me, and her call woke me up. I felt bad telling her I'd call her later, because sometimes I forget and then she gets mad at me, so I figured I'd just talk to her then. But I was really groggy and just out of it, because I had LITERALLY just woken up. So now my mom is ranting and raving at me that it's always like pulling teeth when SHE talks to me herself. When she insists upon calling me 9837493874398473 times a day to know exactly where I am and what I'm doing, how does she expect me to ever have anything to say? She asks me a billion questions, but I never have anything exciting or noteworthy to tell her. I don't know what she expects me to have to say. What does she want me to talk about? The clouds? It's like she just needs something to fight with me over. UGH.

Poor Em.

You know it's a Jewish thing though...as Jewtopia says, all Jews must call family members, particularly kids calling parents or parents will call them...5 times a day, always have a meaningful conversation and always it end it w/ an "I love you."

Hehe, response from Non-Jewish guy: "Every time?? Like you have to say I love you 5 times in a day??"

Hahaha, I gotta go back to that play.

Just finished the video, it was great, Raul cracked me up...would have been curious to hear his best fan story, oh well.

That's no fun. Mothers can be so annoying and...always there!

[luvtheEmcee]

My mother's lost her f*cking marbles. She's mad that I don't spend enough time at home?

Would you go home if you saw your family every week and talked to your parents four times a day? There's no novelty.

It's another one of her ploys to keep tabs on me like she used to be able to do. On one hand I feel bad that she *clearly* still can't handle me not being at home, but on the other hand, I'm really, really mad because she's being totally irrational.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 6:52pm

I'm sorry Em. That really sucks. Was she like this all last year too? It just seems like she's in denial about the fact that you're not living under her roof anymore (sorry, psych major).

In my family, that's basically what my mom has to deal with from her mother. Remember that lovely experience I posted about on the main board about my grandmother and I talking about Rent?

The next day, she called my mother and complained that I wouldn't explain to her why I liked Rent, even though I specifically told her that I can't really articulate what it is. She got on my mom's case for me "not wanting to talk to her" when she went out of her way to do something for me and how I'm so inconsiderate, when that's not how she expected her grandchildren to be raised.

I found out about this yesterday when my mom told me. Thankfully, my mom knows my grandma has lost her f*cking marbles, so she just rolled her eyes along with me.

My grandmother has her marbles, so I feel bad, since she just genuinely misses my brother and I (my grandparents live in Florida). But that's why I tried to get it together and talk to her.

sigh. My mom is definitely in denial. She gets really on-edge about it a few times a year, but she's not sad, she's just ANGRY.

I adored it!

Family... can be such a pain.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 8:42pm

yay!

The theatre was totally empty, though. :/ No one in the bible belt will see it, I'm afraid.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 8:43pm

At least it's playing out there.

[greatdct]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 8:46pm

Two showings a day. But better than nothing.

Now I'm really anxious to see it on stage again. I haven't since May!

At first I didn't really want to see it on stage again that badly. Then yesterday I was walking through Times Square, and suddenly I really wanted to go see it again. I didn't have enough money on me, though.

[greatdct]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 8:51pm

Aww.

I'm so curious about the new cast. I would go this weekend but I've already got lots of plans. Hmm. Maybe around New Years.

I need to be rich. Or marry rich.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 8:54pm

heh.

They're alright. I want Matt not to be in it anymore.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 8:55pm

I was thinking I would see it again around New Years, this weekend is packed for me as well.

I got my credit card bill for this month. It wasn't pretty. And this weekend will only do more damage. Oh well. Chitty again!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/27/05 at 8:56pm

You're seeing it this weekend?
