g! Did you like Rent?

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

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

---

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.

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.

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

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.

I adored it!

Family... can be such a pain.

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

Two showings a day. But better than nothing.

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

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.

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!
