Juliana's Journal - Entry #23 now online... — Page 2

Zola-

A question for you since I notice you just love posting in all of these threads like some other people...

Why do you read every entry if you really don't like it.. is it simply to gripe about it in every thread?

Stating your opinion is one thing... stating it over and over again just comes off as bitterm ill-tempered and somewhat pathetic.

Like I posted in another thread, if you don't like it fine, but there are plenty of people who are obviously enjoying it. To each their own...

Surely you can come up with some topic on here we could all discuss intelligently instead of wasting your time posting an opinion WE ARE ALL VERY AWARE OF...

Oh Zola Zola Zola..

I'm not the one going onto every thread of yours and commenting. I posted on ONE thread...this very one. A little different IF we are talking logic and semantics...

You are deliberately posting on each thread the same drivel - I am reading various threads and HAPPEN upon your drivel. THAT is the difference between you and I.

Irony.. perhaps... but that doesn't make you any less annoying to me or anyone else here.

As for you wanting to write your drivel every day, feel free. Set up a journal online and link every day if you like. Then we can all CHOOSE to read it or not...and perhaps even comment on every little detail of anything we find not entertaining about it as well.

Go ahead and reply, because as you have already shown us, you want to have the very last word.

Jack, please don't presume to speak for anyone else here. I don't find Zola annoying. That's because I find it interesting just how personally some seem to react to certain topics.

The final word has been spoken.

"She's an understudy on a tour for crissake people, let's try to gain a modicum of perspective."

Al. I find it VERY amusing now that this bothers you SO much. Why? Why does it bother you that someone on tour. Wait. ANYONE is getting so much attention about something they are passionate about?

As for "private" messaging, I have this to say. I have nothing to hide and I am happy to discuss anything you either agree or disagree with me about. Your PM to me was nothing more than you complaining to me that I called to you task. It certainly wasn't' ANYTHING secretive that you couldn't have posted on the board.

As for how many PMs you are getting about me.. I could care less. What other people think of me is their business. It would appear, like YOU, that they have to hide behind a PM rather than simply posting their opinion on here.

I won't say that I enjoy Zola's scathing commentary - nor do I hate it. What I was reacting to was her "need" to post on every thread the same opinion. Pick a thread and post there....posting to every thread that mentions the topic is just noise.

Like my friend Mr. Dente, I'm also amused at the the hoo-ha one tour understudy's journal causes on this board. I find it an amusing read -- albeit vapid at times -- but I certainly don't think about it past the millisecond it takes to scan it. If Juliana is as effective on stage as she is in print, they need to mount a multi-million dollar broadway show just for her pronto -- and I want to invest.

Being as I am not a die-hard fan of Juliana, and until just recently had not a strong interest in even reading her journal, I just find all the criticisms to be trite and quite petty and stupid. I don't see what is so wrong about this girl posting her experiences on her first National Tour. I for one, am happy that this young girl is doing what she loves and is very passionate about it. I find the comments questioning whether she has time to perform while doing all these things to be quite silly. Despite what some may think, actors DO have a life, and do engage in fun activities. What is wrong with her talking about all the foods she enjoys? Or shopping? Or hanging out with friends? That is what young people do. Hanging around a lot of young women, I know for a fact, that young women really love food. I mean, they might obsess about eating something that might be to fattening, after the fact, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they still don't enjoy it. I REALLY think there is an issue with jealousy from a very select few on this board. There is no real reason to attack the posts of Juliana. I am not a crazed fan of hers, but I just read a few of her journal entries out of curiousity, and I don't see what all the complaining is all about. I just think it comes down to some of these members being older, and being envious of her youth and enthusiasm, and realizing, probably that they will never be that age again, and never experience having that kind of joy again. And that's not Juliana's fault. And it is not her fault that these posters are bitter. I say, if you don't like the damned posts, don't flamin' read them! It's that simple. And while I am at, I have some more advice: To all the nay-sayers - Get a LIFE! Really. Juliana, keep on writing, and enjoy your experience. However, I'm sure she doesn't need me to tell her that. She could probably doesn't give a crap about what criticisms a few faceless, nameless posters on a internet message board have to say. And good for her.

Cheers,
The Balladeer

Wow. Sutton has spoken. :)


Actually, no kidding, Zola has made a good point. A VERY good point. It's great that Juliana has a healthy regard for herself -- but perhaps its not a good idea to toot one's own horn. I used to be involved with someone who always came in from auditions saying -- when asked "how it went" -- "Well....sigh...I was quite wonderful." Erg, erg, erg. That relationship didn't last long. Sometimes a little humility can be worth gold.

I've noticed that after Juliana describes in great detail her meals, she gives us a *wink*.

I think that *wink* might be a 'shout-out' to the Broadwayworld.com messageboard!

Could Juliana be as interested in us as we are in her?

Balladeer:

Actually, the part that really got me was the "quite": "I was...quite...wonderful."

But bless his heart. He's dead.

Just a clarification. :)

Ron Darling:

I have explained why I issued my warning. I am not concerned about her diet (as some are); I am not interested in what she does in her free time (as you are).

Au contraire.

I have heard from too many people close to Millie that she is becoming a laughing stock. I am not certain if I can be any more direct, so if anyone out there is as dimwitted as Ron please re-read the above and perhaps it will become clear to you.

If you doubt me, ask anyone associated with the production.

The last word has been spoken.

I love you Mamamia Sammy!

It was funnier the first time.
