go, have fun...

don't go, if what you say is true, it won't even dawn on them that you are not there, and you'll be missing out

Go - make a big scene - bitchslap the whores.

OR...just gently say 'what's the deal? How come you didn't let me know?' Consider their reaction carefully. If they give you a suitably humble apology, forgive them and move on. Or if they blow you off with a 'whatever', come back to me and I'll see what dastardly plans I can rustle up, because then you may have a slight problem.

You're right. But if it won't even dawn on them that I'm not there, aren't I wasting my time going to begin with if my positive contribution goes unnoticed?

Plus, is it only me or does it seem like a dumb idea - 10-12 people (including several...porty types) squished into one hotel room (2 queen beds that will likely go unused aside from us cramming to sit on them). We bring in food and just sit and...I don't know...eat? Hang out? Watch TV? And like, are we going to go home at the end of the night? I mean, with the dough they're dropping on getting the hotel room and then buying food to bring, why don't we just go out for a good dinner and a night out instead?

Eh, I dunno......I'm not so much pissed that they planned this without me - more the fact that I wasn't told about any of this and they would have been fine leaving me in the lurch tomorrow and not contacting me. And the fact that they didn't ask my input - it's basically, if you're going to come, let us now. I mean...I dunno, I'm thinking "F*CK them." But hey...

You're right Ellie. I should find out their reason for leaving me in the lurch. And they REALLY left me in the lurch - I talked to one of the ppl in the group on the 26th and she gave no inkling that anything was being planned.

But should I attend the shindig and find out why I got screwed? Or should I find out tonight? Because if it's a stupid reason, I don't want to hang out with these SH*Theads for the rest of the night.

I guess my other option is sitting at home drinking. (I've drank way too much over the last few days. I have a permanent headache.)

tiff (and cam)

here goes Ma Fredi again but....

seriously - the beauty of being an adult is that you actually get to make your own choices for yourselves..

you can always be civil and polite and take the higher road (which i always recommend on spiritual level) and still feel free

TO BLOW OFF ANY MOTHERF****RS YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN OR WHO DO NOT TREAT YOU WITH THE LOVE AND RESPECT YOU DESERVE!!!!

Sample dialouge:

for tiff -

sorry guys - but i didn't hear from you in so long and my family has made subsequent plans for that night....

for cam -
gosh (b*** whose name i don't know) i just got back from the east coast and i'm sooooo behind with everything and exhausted and blah, blah, blah,...

the bottom line...

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCOMODATE ANYONE UNLESS YOU WANT TO!!! And

if you CHOOSE to accomodate users and losers, don't b*** about it. take the experience for what it is and learn from it - even if the lesson is NOT TO FIND YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION EVER AGAIN!!

Keep drama ONSTAGE not in your life!!!!

Okay, I like this advice more, guys. Blowing them off, it will be! (But with the family excuse. Or better yet, the "I'm going out with my glamorous cooler friends at BWW---I mean, from work, instead.")

Oh goodie, I like that convo. (Like my icon? No MJ in sight!)

Where shall we start? Perhaps remarking on the Broadway shows he graced, even though most of us were probably too young to have seen him live?

For Jerry. I had no idea it was this serious.

Tiff - blow 'em off, but why the excuse? Did they show you the same courtesy? Or am I being immature?

IN LOVING MEMORY of the Late Great Jerry Orbach

Posted: 12/29/04 at 9:37pm

now you're talking tiff..

F*** 'em - but always in the nicest way possible...

the first step to true and lasting self esteem is to not allow yourself to be used or treated badly by others just for "something to do" or the "need to hang out"

we are all creative people here - and this is not to say that we don't get lonely at times for "actually connection" as Jonanthan says...

but - it is a matter of STANDARDS and the best possible thing for your psyche and your spirit is NOT TO LOWER YOURS!!!!

you are much better off here on bww - or doing something creative with your time than allowing people to suck your energy, emotion, time (which is the most precious thing in life as it is not replacable) and -in many cases- money to feel like one of the "in " crowd.

especially once you're out of high school!!! - the world is YOURS - MAKE CHOICES!!!

THANK YOU for saying that (about being better off on bww with actual intelligent people).

My parents are always pressuring me to go shopping, go to football games, go to movies etc. with school friends...who aren't really my friends at all. I HATE IT. I have so little free time, why should I spend it with the people I'm forced to tolerate all through the week?

before dedication, i'll answer the first question:

AMAZING - better than i remember....first off, house seats, center front orch - so close....the music (after listening to it all last night) was so much better and the crew was much tighter. i see where people have problems in their reviews and all, but still - even my mom liked it and she went in PISSED as HELL...

then i got autographs and the cast is so nice - tom hewitt has to be one of the nicest ppl. i actually felt bad for saying stephen Henderson is so bad b/c he was so nice....the cast (darren, melissa, (something) hoch and whoever played quincey) were very outgoing and friendly.....plus it was so organized - the stage door guy gave markers to the cast has they came out and the cast returned the markers when they finished signing...they all took pics, etc...

NOW JERRY

When I was little, my parents, my aunt and uncle, and I went to a Greek restaurant in the city (something with an A). I was eating all these "exotic" foods and all these ppl were surroudning me watching. When we left, Jerry Orback stopped us and said to me, "you probably won't remember this, but thank you: this was the first time i was able to eat in peace."

(the above story is from my parents as I was a baby)

A ew years ago my friend (or stalker) was in L&O and he recounted the story to Jerry who said he remembered me (i doubt he did)...

ah yes... Jerry

I've had the pleasure of seeing him live on broadway (42nd STREET) and working with him on L&O

he was the nicest guy ever and such a SUPER talent!!

I also have video of the TONY's the year CHICAGO was on Bway - doing "All I Care About Is Love" and stripping down to his boxers!!! *WOOT*

I've seen the FANTASTICKS several times as well (though not with him in it of course....)

did you guys know that CHICAGO got dissed the first time around?

Posted: 12/29/04 at 9:42pm

Ellie, if you're being too immature, I am too. Part of me feels I shouldn't even explain myself, and just not show up at all tomorrow. But if they ask, then I'll tell them my excuse. In reality, I'll likely be chillin' with my homeys dawg brothas and sistas here. (Wow, even online I am too Asian to pull that off.)

You're right, Mama Fredi. Things just get worse when you're an adult, doesn't it? I hated high school, but sometimes I hate the invisibility of being an adult more. It's so surreal because a few of my friends in that circle are the same age as my mom when she got married and had me. (Late 20s.) I think even though intellectually and academically, we're equals, we're also in different places in life, so I feel like an outcast.

But anyway, let's discuss 42nd Street. I haven't seen it, but my parents saw the tour last winter and said it was fantastic. Didn't Jerry originate one of the roles?

yes - Jerry originated the lead guy - (the director/producer whose name I can't remember... help anyone?) the one who turns Peggy Sawyer into a star...

he actually had that EXTRA corny line and still made it work

(you're going out there a nobody but your gonna come back a STAR!)

he was terrific!!!
