The only Valentine's cards I've ever got were from my dad (I'd rather get nothing than a pity card) or my boyfriend (who was an emotionless husk of a being who thought it appropriate - and he was not wrong - to buy a "With condolences" card for Valentine's day).

... when I write it down like that, it's gotta sound a lot worse than it is. :/

Nah they just put one in my tray and then told me but still prentended it wasn't them...god it was weird.
And don't worry Sam, the main guy that everyone thought liked me is now very much gay, and enjoys dressing like Liza Minelli...I'm not quite sure how to feel about that haha

Exedore, we have nothing like that here, at least there never was in my school! I don't believe in Valentines Day anyway.

Sorry Sam - I see your confusion and have edited my post.

To clarify: do try and get to see A Little Night Music.

I've never heard of the classroom valentines tradition - it wasn't done when I was at school.

I think the classroom Valentine thing is an American thing.

Exy, any point asking which secret is yours, or do I have to guess? It's not one of the bazillion 'Wicked' ones, is it?

Of course you have to guess.

And I have only done one Wicked secret EVER, and that was to point out that another recent London show was far, FAR superior to it.

Ah, I think I remember that one. Was it 'Betwixt!', perchance?

BroadwaySecrets. It's a fearful place, although sadly not as drama-filled as it used to be.

It's another website. I saw Exey and Weez talk about it previously and googled, but came away not having quite understood what was going on. So that makes me even dimmer...

Broadwaysecrets is a livejournal community where people submit anonymous images regarding theatre and theatre fandom which are then collated and posted on a weekly basis. They range from silly to bitter to obnoxious (see: all the Wicked and Orfeh entries.)
See it for yourself here.

Weez: Yes, it was the "Betwixt > Wicked" secret.

Don't be confused. Just look at all the silly images and laugh.

Then when you're shell shocked into acceptance, start finding ways to shock and rile up the other posters/readers. =)

I'd like to take a week or so around Easter to catch the new shows popping up in Germany which, in many ways, is work but at the same time is work away from home and that allows me to chill the hell out during the day.

I'm currently trying to convince my parents I can totally afford to go to New York in February. Which I can. Now, I know I'm an adult and parental opinion shouldn't be an issue, but I'm interested in maintaining good relations and showing them it's a good idea (and getting lifts to and from the airport) instead of doing it regardless. XD

I've totally already booked my birthday weekend of London theatre-going as well. Which is nice.

(Exy: if you're number 9, I will totally mock you forever. Any hints?)
