I can't get the video on new audiences to play.

"xoxRogue, it's a simile, it uses "like" in the comparison. "

I really didn't see 'like'. I read "Anthony is strawberry". Today's just been a wierd day..and a painful one. (thread-jacking alert) I was on the stage tonight for rehearsal and we were clearing off our props for the next group so I jumped off stage--I forgot how tall the stage is and I slammed my feet on the ground and had to fall foward on my hand in order to not fall completely over. And of course I had to yell "GOSH THAT HURT!". Some random person was like: "Are you ok?" And I just mumbled fine and stumbled away. My ankles are feeling fine now...

Hmm...a word to describle Anthony......... Indescribable! Ok...so I thought that would work....

This kinda random...but I really want them to start answering those questions that we all submitted on the Blog a while back. Since we just got the LMC clip, maybe we can expect answers on Wednesday?

Oh, Anthony=Amazing.

none of my questions ever make it up there, and there not rude or provocative in any way, shape or form....

hmmm... maybe someone at sony hates me

off topic: Rouge- last April i was finishing the last high school show i would ever do, we were doing 42nd Street and i was Peggy Sawyer and it was, although a boring show, SOOO much fun and as we were tearing down the theater i jumped off the stage to make way for prop guys and smashed my knee sooo hard on the side that im still feel it, it sucks....but glad to hear your alright

I wonder how long they'll continue the blog entries. Maybe till the dvd release.

So why I think Anthony is awesome: He just seems to be (and I'm sure is) giving, sweet, calm, and passionate about everything he is involved with. And of course, he is so unbelievably fantabulously wonderful to all the fans :)

Yes. Follow the great advice of rowers.

And yes, yay for Anthony love. <3

Yeah. I jupmed off of the stage last year and landed on a music stand that was laying on the ground, causing me to fall on my ass. Not fun.

[xoxRogue]

Posted: 11/21/05 at 10:09pm

See? Another experience! Don't do it people! It may look fun, but it's not since alot of the time it will hurt you.

And now, to turn it into something about Anthony,

I wonder if he has done anything like that.

A friend of mine fell off the stage into the orchestra pit back in high school. She completely shattered her wrist and they had to put metal pins and screws in to fix it, and she still has problems with it five years later.

Someone fell into the pit at my high school; now when not being used, it's covered by big slabs of wood.

Um.... I feel kind of silly posting this here because it's kind of off the topic of the current off-topic discussion, but Shiksa Goddess2 has been bugging me to post this for WEEKS, so I finally am. The reason I wouldn't post it before was because it was unfinished, but tonight we sat down in her room and she helped me come up with the ending while we really should have been doing schoolwork. *shifty eyes*

Anyway... I guess the proper term for this is probably a parody, but really, it's not so much that as it is a desperate, fanatic plea. I hope it amuses you guys as much as it amused me to write it. :)

RENT:
As sung by Behind_the_Spotlight and Shiksa Goddess2

How do you wait a whole two weeks
When minutes feel more
Like hours each day.
Trailers, cast blogs
Blow my mind
And now these screenings
They're so far away!
RENT!

How do you sing along
When some words are wrong
Though you once knew the whole show by heart
But they sound so awesome
And Thoms and Dawson
Sound like they were there from the start.

So we’re desperate and pleading!
The 23rd we are needing!

How we gonna live
How we gonna live
How we gonna live
Until Rent?!

How do you have some patience
When you know that it’s done
And it seems the whole world’s seen it but you!

How can you wait a whole year
But now that it’s here
And within your view!

You go slowly crazy
Your mind’s feeling hazy

How we gonna live
How we gonna live
How we gonna live
Until Rent?!

How do you handle the news
That while you’ve got the blues
There’s early views
In NYC!
Stuck here in Ohi-(o)
I just want to die,
Can’t pay to fly
Where I want to be!
When is it?
Want a ticket!

How we gonna live
How we gonna live
How we gonna live
Until Rent?!

The teasers and promo spots drive you slowly insane.
The soundtrack is on your iPod on continuous repeat.
You stare everyday at the countdown site
And feel there’s no way that you can survive.

How do you focus on your class
When you’ve got all the music stuck in your head?
It reaches way down deep and makes you sing so much
Your friends wish you dead.
RENT!

How do you stay sane during days
Where strangers, teachers, roommates
All sing Seasons of Love?

What binds the lyrics together
When, each time, they sing the numbers wrong
Scream none of above!

It’s not all that hard,
You stupid ****tard!

Keep the soundtrack at hand.
At your command.

Rentheads unite- it’s in our sight!
How we gonna live
How we gonna live
How we gonna live
Until Rent?!

Give us Rent,
We need Rent
Rent Rent Rent Rent Rent!
We just wanna see Rent!
Cause our lives suck ‘till RENT!!!!!!!!!!!



lol... And what I love about Anthony? Well, to be really random, I rather love the fact that he's a vegetarian and doesn't smoke. <3

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 11/21/05 at 10:54pm

LOL, that's awesome.

Actully, he's a vegan or something. He eats fish, yes? I forget what that's called...but anyway, still awesome. I could never be a vegan. I love milk and cheese way too much.

And not smoking is a huge plus. Anthony, you should remind some of your fellow cast members what smoking will do to their lovely voices.

[colleen_lee]

Posted: 11/21/05 at 10:54pm

yay! much love for the fellow vegetarians!

[Behind_the_Spotlight]

Posted: 11/21/05 at 11:03pm

A vegan is someone who doesn't eat any animal products at all, including milk and cheese and (I've sometimes heard) honey. The term 'vegetarian' is generally inclusive of people who just don't eat dead animals... though I have gotten lots of "Well, do you eat chicken/fish?" from people over the years, so I include him in my view of vegetarianism. I'm pretty sure he said somewhere the actual technical term for what he is, but for my own purposes, vegetarian works. :)

Nonsmokers are the coolest people ever.

[colleen_lee]

Posted: 11/21/05 at 11:08pm

There are different "branches" (for lack of a better word) of vegetarianism.

For example, I am an ovo-lacto vegetarian because I still consume egg and milk products.

Lacto vegetarians eat milk products but not the eggs.

A person who also eats fish is often called a pescatarian (or a "pesco" vegetarian). A person who also eats chicken is called a pollo vegetarian (which I really don't think should be considered a vegetarian....).

I am proud to say I know nothing about Anthony's eating habits, so I don't know what he is considered.

And honestly, as horrible as it sounds, I have no patience for smokers these days. I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke, and the habit in general just grosses me out. Thank goodness the bars and restaurants of Minneapolis/St. Paul are smoke free.

Pescatarian! That's the one! Lol, I feel really lame for knowing thas... I just remember him using that term in some interview or article I read... somewhere... I'm really not a psycho, I just enjoy knowing there are actually other vegetarians out there. We are few and far between where I come from.

I have very little patience for smokers, either. My mom and sister have recently picked up the habit, and I got into my first honest-to-god fight with them in years because of it. But they've agreed to at least not do it near me.

haha jumping back a subject or two..i think i remember someone in my area dying about 10 years ago because he fell off a stage at his high school and broke his neck! it was terrible

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 11/21/05 at 11:42pm

They're adults; they've made the choice to smoke and in public, it's not your business. If you have a problem with it, that's just it, it's YOUR problem. And no, I don't smoke. I'm just sick of all the public outrage over it. There are much bigger problems in the world than cigarettes.

I'm a pescatarian. I'd be a vegetarian, but I need the protein and tofu grosses me out.

someone wrote up a summary of the bcefa sony screening last night with a q & a with anthony and tracie on compulsivebowlers. I recommend you to go over and read it - it's pretty hysterical. Whoever wrote it has a great memory - they recapped so much behind the scenes info and just quirky little antics and convos at the q&a. I would repost it here, but I don't know if this person wants their review (its not a review of the film) up here.

Yay, Sandy went with the green dress. And Kyle...have you cut your hair at all since you made your video this summer?

I like Kyle's hair longer. Suits him.
