Wow, I feel so ignorant.

Ellen who, and por que?
I've met them both, a number of times. They're both more wonderful than I can tell, in their own ways.

ellen degeneres, the talk show host one.

:) the idea is, once she reads 300 emails asking to have anthony one the show, she will give in. and thus prevent anthony from having to be interviewed by horrible interviewers (still trying to forget the isaac incident)

Hmm, where did you meet them, Emcee?
opiv: Definitely, I shall. But someone needs to tivo the show for me, since Ellen is a daytime show, and I can't bare to miss it! :)

The first time I met Adam was after AIDA.... October of 2000. The rest, we say, is history. 
Stage doors (AIDA, Cabaret), after his concerts, when he was promoting Civilian, CD signings (Rent and Civilian), on the film set, and then random stuff in the past few months -- The Today Show, The 24 Hour Plays, Brilliant Mistake -- a lot of the stuff he's done recently, basically. It all became sort of an attempt to get myself to stop being afraid of him, because I think he's so fantastic and I just wanted to be like "hey, what's up?" but every time I'd chicken out and just come away with another autograph. So, I'd keep trying. If at first you don't succeed...
Anthony and I first crossed paths on this board, actually. We met for the first time on the movie set. He's been so, so incredible to me over the past almost-year. I've seen him many times since, surrounding various projects and Rent-related events.

Wow, to have so many oppurtunities is amazing.
Up here in Boston I sort of hope they'll appear, and yet no luck...so far. Maybe I'll try to track them down once I get out of the house and on my own, because my mom hasn't come to grips with my obsession yet. :)
Take me with you the next time you meet them!

Sure, you can hide in my backpack. 
But you'll have to share the space.
I grew up like an hour outside of the city, but now I go to school IN the city, so usually if something's going on, I'm there.

Well, I have high hopes for Harvard, which is also no good for catching events in the city, but perhaps I'll attend a college in New York. Know of any good drama schools?
I bet I could hide in your backpack. I'm quite the munchkin.

I'm not the person to ask on that one -- I'm the farthest thing from an actress. Rather what you'd call a spoiled fan with a lot of photographs.
I can fit in a duffle bag, so I know how it goes.

Pfft, I can act for beans, but I hope to learn.
Though after a while your legs start to cramp up and you feel like a fetus again, not the greatest feeling I must say.

No, I can't imagine that's comfortable.
I just suffer from severe stage fright, so my only desire is to watch. Actually, I want to be a critic. :-X

Not very, but you get used to the numbness, I suppose. :)
Heh, I suffer from severe stage fright, too! And, I'm a complete introvert, so acting is not really a career that matches my personality, but it's fun!
Back to School#10714
Posted: 1/3/06 at 12:45pmI'm just not good at it, because I have a hard time getting over feeling silly doing things in front of people.

Posted: 1/3/06 at 12:46pmMy friends are encouraging me to get used to it. My mom almost signed me up for auditions for The Music Man without my knowledge. :)

Posted: 1/3/06 at 12:54pmhah. How's that for parental support? :)

More like a push than support.
I appreciate it, though, since I don't have the guts to do those things myself.

Well, whatever it takes.
My mom's finally just giving in and letting me do my thing. She doesn't get it, but she accepts it. Granted "mom, he kissed me!!!" isn't really going to fly.
Back to School#10719
Posted: 1/3/06 at 1:04pmAnd what is this thing that you're doing, and she's giving in to?

Playing professional (yet well-behaved) fangirl, at least while I'm still in school. She gets upset and thinks that my going to all of these events and stuff severely f's up how I do in school. Honestly, it's the time I spend on the net that really affects it, but she got mad that I was constantly going to all of these Rent-related events this semester. In the past few months, she's just come to get how important it is to me, that it's about more than a hot guy, and she's just like "fine, have fun." I guess that's cool, from my mom, anyway.
My parents are the types I'd expect to be like "honey, that's nice, but you need a LEGIT career." Ironically, they're okay with this thing that might be a pipe-dream. I don't know what the market it for what I want to do, but I'm sure gonna go for it.

Haha, my mom hasn't come to grips with my RENT obsession, since it just recently started when my friends infected me with it. I've come to be more obsessed then they are, which freaks me out.
All those events makes me want to move.

The movie didn't quite do it for my mom, but she's agreed to see the show within the next few weeks. I really want her to tap into it, but if she doesn't, what can I do? She knows I love it, which from someone like my mom, will have to do. She thinks Anthony is adorable, but hasn't yet met him -- though she's come to grips with the fact that I've connected strongly with him, and she thinks Adam is the adorable sweetheart that he is.
Anyway, my last post wasn't very clear, but I mean to say that my parents are okay with me playing around now, more than they had been in the past. As for REAL career stuff, they're okay with me wanting to do the theatre... journalism... thing. That surprises me, 'cause I'd expect them to be like "honey, do something real, so you can actually pay your rent."

I think I understand now. I tend to take things the wrong way.
I think the movie for my mom was just like "Okay, it's a movie. Now I can say I saw it." But I'm trying to persuade her to go see the show with me when we take a trip to NYC over February vacation.

My mom said it was campy and that she wanted to tell them all to stop whining and go out and get jobs.
Sorry again for my poor wording; I realized it sounded like I wanted to just be a fangirl for the rest of my life.
