I agree 100% with Chica and I do apologize for causing people to feel "out of the loop". I hope you guys realize that the thread regulars are certainly not people we are trying to keep information from. It's just that we can't control the amount of people who lurk the thread, and posting things publicly is never exactly safe.

Sometimes you just write something to amuse the ONE person who's going to "get" it. It's silly, and it's immature. It's not done out of malice, or "haha, let's try to fool some people", but just because it's late and you're bored, and you found something funny that you CAN'T post on a public board, so you make a vague comment about it.

I think that about sums it up.

Oh, we (or at least, I) know that you guys don't do it intentionally or mean anything by it, I just start to feel like I miss something, which makes me confused. It's not like I have the utter urge to have to know what you guys are talking about. (And I kind of feel like I'm prodding if I should want to ask). It really has nothing to do with what, in fact, you don't (or can't) say.

I don't think any of us are offended, or think you're doing it on purpose. It's just, we aren't able to add anything to the conversation because we don't know what's going on. Hehe

I hope that made sense.

Oh, and I just want to clarify that these aren't attacks! Because, from me, they really aren't, and I don't think they are from anyone else, either. Or, at least I hope.

I totally understand that you can't post some things, and that's fine. The vague statements are just really frustrating for the other people who don't "get" it, you know?

I'm certainly not mad at anyone, and I know you're not intentionally excluding people. But, they *do* get left out of the conversation.

I don't know what else to say. :)

I certaintly didn't mean to put anything on you! Nor did I want you to be upset. I'm just trying to convey the feelings of DRS (or iheart) because they weren't here, and I knew, in some respect, where they were coming from.

I'll just talk for myself now.

I really didn't harbor any feelings of resentment or hurt! In fact, I loved the fact that people who are able to see him many times are willing to share stories, pictures, or whatever with us. And I wasn't getting fustrated (only confused) at the few "vague" comments. I apologise if my posts did anything to increase this..."disharmony", as you put it.

I personally didn't mean for this to create such an upset. (Well, I didn't create "this", but you get the point).

Well, I guess for any feelings that are harbored by anyone, that this will help resolve those issues. And I would like to thank you for the gesture of us being able to PM you about anything in this thread, and the flowers that were given by whomever on the thread's behalf. And....if this helps, I don't think that was the longest post. Nor the most annoying.


Edit: *hugs back*. You know, the random mention of confetti makes me wonder if they'll ever make confetti you can eat. (I have NO idea where that thought came from)

I'm really, really sorry that this has ended up being so upsetting for everyone.

I know you weren't referring to me, but I was kind of curious about how the flowers went down. I didn't ask because I didn't want to bother anyone and the blog entry seemed sufficient. Thanks for posting the pictures. They're beautiful!


*hugs everyone*

*gasp* Guess what I just found!

Candy confetti!

Mandi, do you mean from the luncheon? Last year they had around five different videos. Broadway.com, why are you so SLOW?

[xoxRogue]

Posted: 5/29/06 at 8:30pm

You know what's odd? They had the two that are up now practically up at the same time. And now...nothing! :-/

Yep, that's what I mean. *pokes them*

Since Chica said I was the one who organized it, I'm sorry I wasn't around for whatever misunderstanding went on this afternoon. It was my idea, yeah, but leading into it it did become more of a group effort, and the day of, I was home sick and didn't really participate.

Anyway, since explanations have been given and all, my sincerest apologies if anyone felt left out. I don't know what else to say other than that I'm very, very sorry. It's crappy of me to write off any slip-ups by saying that I've been having a really, really tough time with some things lately, and that during the time this was going on I was stressed and upset, and on top of that, physically ill. I feel terrible that I in any way caused people to feel left out, because I know I did, amidst everything else, try to make sure everyone knew what they wanted to know and was up to date, and the like.

And while inside jokes do happen, and that's part of this, I've learned a lot of lessons in caring lately, and about my pitfalls as a "caring individual," or who I am as the individual I pride myself on being -- and I find that I have a much greater capacity to make people feel badly than I once thought; such things often need to be brought to attention, for whatever they may be worth. It's unnerving, sometimes, to find out how others sometimes interpret good intentions. I feel badly for being, or coming across as that person who ring-leads a clique, all in the name of getting an 'in.' I'm afraid of truly being that person. In that vein, I suppose that effort should be placed to remember that this is a public forum.

Speaking from a personal standpoint, a lot of the stuff alluded to as far as I was concerned didn't come from contact with Mano, because I really don't have a lot of it; we don't communicate much online, or anything. More of this was inside joking amongst friends than it was about ins with the actor. Not to disparage anything, I mean, that's cool and I'm not going to push it, but I feel like there's a distinction between posting about stuff that *he* tells people and stuff that like... a bunch of us get silly over on AIM late at night. Not to say either is truly excusable, but it's also not to say (I hope this isn't bitchy) that sometimes inside jokes slip in. It doesn't mean anyone is trying to exclude anyone else, and my sincerest apologies if it came off as bragging or otherwise. Those who know me well know I'm in a fairly close (platonic, don't worry) relationship with a fairly well-known actor, and you also know that I don't talk about it a lot, because I don't want to create hostility or awkwardness. It's sad to me, and makes me feel badly, that this happened unintentionally, when I'm usually really strict with myself about what gets said, implied, or not. Sorry, I just often feel inexplicable levels of need to defend myself.

I don't really know what else to say other than that I'm sorry for causing hurt feelings or discomfort, and to echo Chica's sentiment of... if you're confused, ask! Nothing we say here is like, taboo, or whatever and it's certainly true that none of it is intended maliciously, or to tease people or to make people feel like outsiders -- it's just sometimes random silliness that anybody can be in on, for certain.

Mano added a picture to his myspace profile, if anyone cares. It was posted here recently; it's from one of the bajillion events he attended last week.
