I like that he's getting out of NYC for a while. I think it will be good for him. Even if it is only for a month.

We would totally rock Cincinatti.

I was just thinking how I would explain to my parents how I knew you guys. Parents seem to be in the mindset that all people on the internet are pedophiles and rapists, so nothing good can come of it. I already told my mom how I knew the people I was seeing Chitty with through "mutual friends."

My mom is pretty good about it.

Maybe you could say we met at a stage door? Or something...

hiiiiiii everyone! just got back from le city. decided not to see chitty (a decision i'm kinda regretting...but i just had to get up so EARLY!!) saw Colin's last in Rent...it was sad. I was sad. my friend in the cast introduced me to him after...and long story short, he baaaasically told Colin that I wanted to smell him. WHAT? I'm sure he thinks I'm completely insane. but it was fun, and i heart him. (not as much as I heart the Spicer, of COURSE!)

I tell my parents about BWW people on a need-to-know basis. Like, if I absolteuly have to tell them exactly who I'm with, I say you guys are people I've struck up conversations at stage doors with, or who I've met at things like B'way Under the Stars, where you spend long periods of time in one place full of theatre people.

Aw, Colin! I like him. He went to Syracuse too!

I don't even think my parents would understand the concept of a stagedoor. But I have met people there, so it's not too far-fetched.

My mom's been to stage doors with me, so she knows it's plausible, but she's never known me to randomly strike up a conversation with someone just because they're there.

This year, my birthday is actually on a Friday in March, so it is going to be quite perfect. I am telling my parents I want to go to Cinci for a short vacation and Birthday hoo ha. I'm gonna make a whole weekend out of it. I don't know what else there is to do in Cincinnati, but who cares. It's John Doyle, Raul Esparza, and Company.

I've met some of my best friends at stage doors and on places like this.

Heee. I just found this picture somewhere. Somebody get this man a dog!

I'm afraid that one day, I'm going to be caught in some wacky situation where the world is just THAT small, and somehow my parents find out about this.

It's kind of a shame that I can't tell my parents about this, because... well, because it all means so much to me -- especially the friends I've made here.

He looks drugged! Aw, he doesn't have a doggie? He should. That face that used to be in kook's av was priceless.

Emcee, I know what you mean. That's why I was worried about Cincinatti, just in case (I don't know) I bump into g and her mom and my dad asks which mutual friend we met through. I'd probably be like "Emcee!"

awwwwww, that's such a cute picture. I love men who love animals.

He's so ridiculously beautiful.

[greatdct]

Posted: 12/12/05 at 1:59am

And so many people don't see it! People say to me all the time "How do you find him attractive?"

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/12/05 at 2:00am

Me too.

It's certainly a whole-package concept with him, but physically, I think he's lovely just as well.

[greatdct]

Posted: 12/12/05 at 2:01am

He just has such a great spirit. I think that's what I like most about him as a person. And his outlook on life and love. It's so inspiring.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/12/05 at 2:03am

I lofe him.

And with that, my iPod and Model Prisoner are going to sleep, because I have class in 7 hours and my stomach is in a really big knot. UGH.

g'night.

[greatdct]

Posted: 12/12/05 at 2:04am

Sleep well!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/12/05 at 2:05am

Thanks! I hope I shall, if only for a short while. Sunday night is always more like a nap than a night's sleep.

I have a final at 9:00 tomorrow which I've been cramming for all day/night. My alarm clock is set to 6:30. I don't think I'll be able to function. But, I had to drop in a quick goodnight. And I think I'll ask my mom to take me to Cincinnati as a "bonding experience" or whatever. I hadn't thought of it before until G or skittles or someone mentioned bringing dear old mom along. Ok, I'm not making sense. Goodnight!

.......Em's avatar is gonna give me nightmares.......

Good luck on your test; I hope you got *some* sleep!

Wow...

I understand how parents' reactions to internet friends can be and stuff but I never realized so many of you never say anything and try hard to avoid it. I told my mom from the start. Heh, I always made a joke something like Mom...it's a BROADWAY message board...if there are rapists on there do you really think theyd want to rape ME? That always worked.

Certainly my mom was nervous at first but that was eons ago and now she knows how many of you I've met and hung out with. I mean Emmy I think you were the first one I met at the Rent set so i showed her your facebook page and then she calmed down. I think the first couple of people she never said anything to me but my sister later told me she called her panicking and such, again I said mom do you think I meet people in abandoned alleys? And now she knows how close I am with some of you guys, I tell her about you, once in a while I get calls on my house phone if my cell phone isn't working...she met BSo at Light in the Piazza and briefly saw Chrys at the Lea Salonga concert...she thinks Zeppie's adorable...ooh and Middy stayed over here a night...so now she's totally cool and understanding about it. She knows how great this is for me and the positive effect it's had and such...actually the other day was pretty funny when I went to the concert last night she asked if I'm going w/ someone who I hung w/ Friday and I said no someone else(she knows all these ppl) and then she was like well excuse me, I can't keep up with you!

I wouldn't be able to hide this from her, I'm glad she understands. Are you guys sure that aside from getting a brief lecture on the dangers of the internet that if they meet some of you and see how close you've become and such they'll realize it's a good thing? Or am I underestimating parents?

If I don't want to be put under house arrest *forever*, I'd better keep my mouth shut.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 12/12/05 at 11:55am

There are so many things my parents don't know about me, one more thing won't hurt them.

Yay! I bought my ticket to the first preview of Company. Seat A-7. So, front row!! I'm so excited. My mom totally embraced the "bonding" idea, so I don't have to take the train. Another yay! Anyone else gonna be there around that time?
