He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 6/11/08 at 1:34pmInteresting question. I used to always buy tickets for me and my boyfriend, then I realized, he didn't enjoy every show as much as I did, so I just started taking him just to the ones he really wanted to see. This realization first lead me to see the Assassins revival at Studio 54 alone.

Apparently, theatre is a social activity because a lot of people give you an odd look when you say you went to see something by youself. Oh well.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 6/11/08 at 1:57pmLastmidnight its strange you say that because I go to live shows alone and I know plenty of people who see live shows alone, but I can't think of anyone who sees movies alone. Anyways I don't think it is strange to see shows alone.

Secret Garden - I was 11. I'd seen it the night before with my family and was desperate to go back. My mother walked me to the lobby of the St. James, and told me where to be standing when it was over.
It was totally fine with me. I of course prefer going with friends and usually do, but I have no problem going alone to shows.
Now what would you say if today I started over?
Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover
And I'll pretend like everything is already alright
And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

Posted: 6/11/08 at 2:16pmThe History Boys, I think. I don't see stuff alone that often; most of the time when I do, it's stuff I'm sent to for work.

I was having a bad week and needed to get out of the house. So I just went and it ended up being a great experience and I ran into a bunch of people I knew during the course of the night.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".

Posted: 6/11/08 at 2:23pmThe majority of shows I do see I see alone, although pinning down the first...I think it was "Amadeus" in 1981.
