    quickie

    Good times...

    I saw Match Point tonight.  Human race, you suck.  Jonathan Rhys Meyers, you're hot.  Remember Velvet Goldmine?

    Have I mentioned I love Pandora.com?

    Intimate Apparel starts rehearsals tomorrow.  Bad Dates continues to be a good time.  And Sueno, which I'm no longer on, opened last Friday.




    You Are a Bloody MaryYou're a fairly serious drinker, who's experimented a lot with different drinks.
    You're a drunk, but a stable drunk. You don't ever let your drinking get out of control.
    What Mixed Drink Are You?


    The Keys to Your HeartYou are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

    In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell.

    You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

    You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

    Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

    Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

    You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

    In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.
    What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

    5 guilty pleasures

    The Rules: The first player of this game starts with the topic of "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

    1. the Stackner Cabaret (and of course, all things involved with it - alcohol, goldfish, olives, etc.).  Now, seriously, going there ervery night of my week is getting sad.  I would vow not to go there this week, but that would probably be a lie.

    2. LOST.  Duh.  It has filled the void left in my heart by the passing of LOTR.

    3. US Magazine.  It might be the best thing ever to read backstage during Bad Dates.  More so than Entertainment Weekly, believe it or not.  Well, and He's Just Not that Into You, but that is just one book rather than having a new issue every week. 

    4. Sleep.   I would much rather sleep than vacuum or shower or eat or read or...  seriously.

    5. finding people online.  AIM, facebook, myspace...they're all just shiny new ways to stalk people, and I enjoy them wayyyy too much


    Tag: Screw that.  Anyone who wants to do it.

    an update

    It's been a while.  A long while.  So, here's an update (of sorts) on my life.

    Work... really good right now.  This past week was especially nice, and actually a bit relaxing for a change.  Sueno is now in tech, which means that my duties on the show ended, and I walked away from it rather happily.  It'll be good, and I love the people, but it was also gonna be a bear in tech and I was happy not to have to deal with it.  Now I'm on Bad Dates, which was in tech last week and opened last night.  Because Melissa is leaving, they put me on the run of the show, which wasn't originally one of my shows, but now it is.  I'm acting as ASM for it.  It's a one-woman show in the Stiemke, with LOTS of shoes, shoeboxes, and clothing.  I get to touch things, and do scene shifts!  Yay.  Next week we start prep for Intimate Apparel, so I'll be in rehearsal for that during the day and then go do Bad Dates at night.

    Melissa is leaving tomorrow.  She's the other SM intern, and decided to leave the program and go back home to Tennessee.  I support her decision and blah blah blah, but I'm gonna miss her so much.  She's definitely my best friend here, so it's going to be weird to shift to NOT having her here.  When I need someone to bitch about work with, unwind with at the Cab, hang out with  late at night, eat breakfast with in the Cafe, walk home with, etc., she's the person I go to.  She's also the person whose door I knock on with huge puffy red eyes and snot and tears and grossness all over my face.  So yeah, she will be missed.  Last night we had a farewell party of sorts for her in the Cab...it was also the opening night party for Bad Dates, so free beer, and it was fun.  Sigh.

    The Holidays were lovely!  I really meant to send Christmas cards to sooo many people this year, but then I only sent out like 15.  So if you didn't get one and thought you would, sorry!  I really meant to send you one.  Beth got here on Friday the 23rd, then mom got here on Saturday the 24th, and both of them stayed until Saturday the 31st.  I'm so glad they were able to come here since I only had two days off, and it was a nice week.  The dinner we made in my kitchen was pretty impressive despite how few kitchen utensils I actually have, haha.  After we ate on Christmas I got sick and started throwing up though, so that wasn't the best thing ever.  So I laid in bed for two days straight with a fever, and threw up a lot at night, but at least my mommy was here to take care of me!  We watched a LOT of Lost season 1, I skipped a day of work, and Moth had lots of company for once in her life!

    My birthday was fun enough.  The cabaret had free champagne, so we went there; I think everyone had a good time.  Lesley (the Sueno SM) made me truffles (SO YUMMY), and Cristina made me brownies, and I felt generally loved.

    The Golden Globes just came on, and I'd like to watch them, so I'll wrap up with the top five things running through my mind right now.
    -Brokeback Mountain...AMAZING
    -Last week's Lost...not so great, IMO.  But I can't wait for this week's!
    -Being single for the first time in three years is quite an adjustment.  Crazy how much you have to revise the way you think. 
    -I love Becky and Amanda (B Sizzle and AW Dizzle).  I'm so glad I got to work with them on Sueno.
    -Johnny Depp is hot.

                                      The Window Shopper   Random  Gentle Love Dreamer      (RGLDf)

    Loving, hopeful, open. Likely to carry on an romance from afar. You are The Window Shopper.          

    You take love as opportunities come, which can lead to a high-anxiety, but high-flying romantic life.  You're a genuinely sweet person, not saccharine at all, so it's  likely that the relationships you have had and will have will be happy ones.  You've had a fair amount of love experience for your age, and there'll be much more to come.          

    Part of why we know this is that, of all female types, you are the most prone  to sudden, ferocious crushes. Your results indicate that you're  especially capable of obsessing over a guy you just met. Obviously, passion like this makes  for an intense existence. It can also make for soul-destroying letdowns.          

    Your ideal match is someone who'll love you back with equal fire, and someone you've grown to love slowly. A self-involved or pessimistic man is especially bad. Though you're drawn to them, avoid artists at all costs.

    interesting, but, alas, incorrect


                   Joe Normal
          39 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 30% Dork                        For The Record:

    A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
    A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
    A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
    You scored less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal.

    This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast.

    I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal.

    Congratulations!

    If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback!
