Day 224/365 (March 30, 2009)

i didn't get much sleep and ate a ton of the yummiest purple grapes (ok technically red but i call em purple) ever!  i also watched lots of TV... then finally i got ready for the day and headed over to Lincoln Center to see The Music Of Bobby Cronin.

i met mark outside and we headed in to wait in line and get out of the cold, eventually carina came in and joined us. slowly everyone else started to trickeled in. (Krysta, Michelle, Lynette, Michelle, diane, karolina, nicole.)  Mark and i had run into andrew as he was leaving sound check, and then we all saw michael come in but logan was with him so i chatted with him for a bit. eventually we all went in and took seats in the front.

I had never heard of Bobby Cronin before and just knew that there were a ton of people that i love to see perform participating in it. Aside from the people who were all great let me tell you he is such a talented song writer! i enjoyed each of the songs very much, especially the understudy song and music from BRATT Camp. Michelle, Nicole, and I were maybe going to leave during part of it to go to something else but shortly before the time we were going to leave i had decided i wanted to stay and continue hearing the songs which was a great decision!

they were just really well written, played, and performed! the host guy was funny because he kept referring to in the heights as into the heights. The first song of the evening was sung by michael kadin craig, andrew call, marcus paul james, and jared gertner... i was quite excited because they are some of my favorite performers and i was like 3 of my favorite shows are being represented on stage (note that MPJ represented Rent for me). then michael sang another song, and andrew ended up in two more, and kate pazakis did some killer vocals and it was nice seeing her sing again since i had been absent from mostly sondheim for so long!

afterwards the group of us chatted for a bit and eventually parted ways, i was about to go home when mark was like lets do something so we walked down to vynl and i got the BLT sandwich again, and then we headed to TOL and enjoyed part of open mic night before heading our seperate ways.

Day 223/365 (March 29, 2009)

i still felt sick but headed out to meet Karolina and David in SoHo for another wedding thing. this has turned out to be my favorite so far because it was informative and not a zoo! there was a really yummy drink we got that was made of passion fruit, edle berry (spelling?), and some sort of vodka, and yummy appetizers, and some chocolate to try. we got a nifty gift nag with chocolate in it that came in handy later... well tried to at least.

then we parted ways and met up with Mary and Devon and went and got dinner at Vynl. I got the most yummy BLT and we had fun, then headed over to NWS for altar boyz/cookie delivery. While waiting we were ran into Nicole who was volunteer ushering for Rooms and then were joined by michelle and tim while they waited to see toxic avenger. i dropped off the cookies and we had our usual bought of fun and diane joined us too.

the show was great and neil had a wonderful flub of losing the van instead of wrecking it... then there was a BC/EFA photo shoot for mary and devon and neil's mom. (other people too but i didn't know them.)

then we headed to TOL but never actually stayed in there, instead spent the whole time outside because they had moved the tables and chairs out for some sort of TA talk back. we were able to say our goodbye to neil and had lots of fun with each other. then finally it was time to head home!

Day 222/365 (March 28, 2009)

This bottle of pepto-bismol became my best friend for the next two days because i felt so incredibly nauseous/sick... and basically tried to starve myself (until i got home) to prevent any possibility of throwing up while out and about. even though i was sick i got up and headed out because i had made plans to meet sarah for a bit since we hadn't seen each other in forever. i foolishly choose to wear flip flops and just a hoodie because it started off warm, but then by the end i was so chilly!. Anywho i met her in the courtyard then we went over to DTE since Lympus had texted me telling me to come there. When i got there we chatted for a bit and he gave me tupperware to replace the ones that i had brought that got accidentally thrown out. they are pretty nice and hold lots!

then Sarah and i went back to the courtyard and chatted for quite sometime until it got too cold for us and we began a pursuit of a starbucks to sit in for a while but the three we went to were filled to the brim so after lots of walking we decided to split up so we could go get warm. I then headed to Path Mark to do some grocery shopping. I got a bunch of stuff and much needed ingredients for a baking endeavor.

i got home and did a TON of dishes then began the lengthy process of my night. i had started to feel slightly better so i made a real dinner with stuff i had bought (later to regret this) and then i baked brownies for myself because i had been wanting to for a while (also a mistake) and then i baked cookies to give to neil for his last show and did more dishes. it was a long endeavor but fun in the end.

Day 221/365 (March 27, 2009)

this is from the karaoke the night before but it was taken after midnight thus making it this days picture and well i liked it better than the others i took that day! i slept alot since i had been up so late before and i really had wanted to go to mostly sondheim but i ended up feeling so sick that i decided it was best for me not to go... i wish i had gone but it was a good decision not going since i felt like major crap!

Day 220/365 (March 26, 2009)

i headed to New Rochelle in the morning because paula needed some help putting stuff in quickbooks and that took a good portion of my day, which i also did laundry during. Then i spent some time watching and playing with my cousins before i had to head back into the city to meet Mark to celebrate his birthday.

I got in and swung by Sasha's since she said Marty was there and we played with Pip for a bit. (Then she let me leave my laundry there while i went to NWS.) then i went and met mark at chipotle for dinner (yum!)  Then we went over to NWS to see altar boyz which was fun, though i HATE that they use a spear now instead of a whip since the whip broke. It was werid because although i had seen the show the week before it was almost a month since i had seen some of them so it was kind of like seeing the show for the first time all over again, because mihael was back, and i hadnt seen travis since the anniversary because i saw the show when jesse did mark.

then Mark and i went to TOL for some karaoke fun and of course i sang lots and eventually susie and kim came and it was so much fun having them be there again and i am glad they decided they need to come every week now too! we closed the karaoke down then kim and i went to sasha's to pick up my laundry and ran into the boys... then i headed home!

Day 219/365 (March 25, 2009)

the day was so much fun. Lil and i headed to the Bronx Zoo since on Wednesdays it is donation day. we roamed around the zoo and saw lots of fun things, our first official stop was to see the tigers and they were right up next to the glass so we took lots of pictures. we also spent a lot of time watching the sea lions and really it was just a really good day of fun and i realized that old habits are hard to supress. (spelling?) I packed a bag filled with water for me and lil and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so we could have a snack while we were in the zoo. i guess i will always be programmed to take care of little kids.

When i got home we were having severe internet problems and i finally called time warner and they had to schedule an appointment for a technician to come out and fix it... NOT PLEASED!

i also worked on a ton of cards for various reasons and it became an arts and crafts war zone!

i had also swung by NWS again to buy more altar boyz tickets for mark and i to see the show to celebrate his birthday.

Day 218/365 (March 24, 2009)

i got up early from my "sleep over" on staten island and then karolina and i headed out (her to work, me to home.) when i got back even though i didn't get much sleep and was sleepy i decided not to go back to sleep and ended up watching lots of TV. i also made a trip to NWS to buy some tickets for altar boyz so i could get good seats for neil's last performance for myself, mary, devon, and karolina. i also made a stop at the post office and bought some much needed stamps to make mailing things easier... not speedier because i still have a hard time following through with that whole putting envelopes in a mailbox thing.

i left my coat on the table and this was the first time in a long time i hadn't hung it up and Fred took full advantage of this because he has always loved to sleep on my coat.

Day 217/365 (March 23, 2009)

this was an entirely fun/crazy day.

i met with Karolina (after waiting for her for a bit) outside the Roosevelt Hotel for a Wedding Expo type thing. Seriously the line to register for the event took forever to get through... i think they said 1900 people had signed up for the event! While we were waiting in line i ran into Will.. as in the Will on mine and krysta's apartment wall via a HF poster.

The event was kinda mayhem! tons of people everywhere and tons of vendors giving us information. there was even a wedding band playing that i thought was pretty good. We got cupcakes and enjoyed some fun rock candy hypnotiq drinks that karolina enjoyed highly. i was still sort of getting over being sick so i din't really enjoy them as much, but the bar they came from was made out of ice! and there were ice sculptures that were rockin!

eventually we left and i accompanied karolina to her home in staten island which was a trip in it self and then i spent the night there since we got in so late!

Day 216/365 (March 22, 2009)

my saviour! i slept for another ten hours then finally woke up...  i knew i had a problem when i almost fainted going to the bathroom. I then nearly fainted on my way from the bathroom to the couch. This was not good. I had no one around that could go get medicine for me and i knew i needed it so i put a water bottle on my head for a bit, then i squirted some jelly in my mouth to get my blood sugar up. after a little bit i felt ok enough to walk to the bodega on the crner where i was able to get some Dayquil... i took it and a little while later i started to feel better than i felt in two days. i am still not feeling good, but the pain is bearable and i was able to take a shower which helped, and i havent been asleep since i woke up at 11... i feel like progress is being made!

Day 215/365 (March 21, 2009)

SICK was the word of the day. my body ached, my head hurt, my nose dribbled. In the span of 24 hours i was probably only awake 17 of those hours... i needed medicine and i couldnt get out of the apt to get it because i was feeling so sick... this is me feeling dead

Day 214/365 (March 20, 2009)


Hope left at almost 5 in the morning to head to the airport to go to London for the week! Then I chatted with Krysta for a bit before I went back to sleep. I woke up with a really bad headache and an achy throat… but the throat was from lots of singing and screaming last night. So I made tea with honey and my throat felt better, but my allergies are flaring up from having two different kitties taking turns sleeping on my chest. If only my headache would go away!

I have also been watching charmed and fighting a really depressive mood. I usually am never a down in the dumps type of person so it scares me when I am feeling really sad. I also realized i was feeling sick, and not just  little sick but deathly ill sick. I still wanted to go to Mostly Sondheim but i finally realized that going out would be a really bad idea. i ended up going to bed 
fairly early for myself.

Day 213/365 (March 19, 2009)


I went grocery shopping; I baked, and got ready to go out. After I dropped off some cookies I spent some time walking around times square pretending to be a tourist and even walked up the TKTS steps and then because I was just chilling by my lonesome I became like the official photographer for a bunch of people. Then I went to visit Sasha and Pip. I also discovered the popcorn store was no more :(

I spent lots of time there and it was nice and at one point Pip ran a marathon my face and stuck his paw in my mouth and then licked my face. This resulted in a very red/splotchy/itchy face. Sasha let me use her face wash and it stopped itching but took a little while for the redness to go away. Eventually I had to leave to meet Hope at starbucks and then we headed over to NWS/TOL to do some karaoke.

It was so crowded there because there are now three shows going on and it was lots of fun singing and I even got Hope into the action! Then we went home and went to sleep before she had to leave. I also left TOL with quite a feeling of OH NO, but luckily Sasha helped me feel better about that via a text conversation.

Day 212/365 (March 18, 2009)


I woke up in such a cranky right foul mood! I was trying to finish cutting HSM audio but the world wouldn’t leave me alone… texts, twitters, phone calls, emails I couldn’t take it anymore! I tried shutting out the world and failed slightly, but that ended up being for the best!

I got a call from Krysta asking if I could do her a favor and while we were talking she asked if I had gotten the battery’s down filming email and I said no because I was tuning out the world… well she told me about it and I saw the time and by the time I got off the pone with her I had 50 minutes to shower and get to NWS. This means I had twenty minute to leave my apartment if I was going to be there on time. This is no small feat for me since I take 20 minutes just to shower usually, but somehow I made it and went on my way.

The filming for this episode was the most fun of the ones I have been to yet because we weren’t just audience people we got to pretend to be doing things… I was a stage manager with a headset that ended up giving me a headache from squeezing my poor head, but I didn’t care! When we were filming the backstage stuff I got creative, and had fun “acting” with one of the other people over where a prop went.

Then I went to help with hair lotto and deliver krysta’s clothes. They were filming something for the website and I decided that I should be interviewed since I am a camera whore so I asked them to and they did. Then I went to bed, bath, & beyond to meet Karolina for the bridal registry.

It was lots of fun and we got some good information, and Karolina made out like a bandit! I also proved my worth as maid of honor… woo~hoo! They had hors d’oeuvres for us and some yummy pomegranate martinis… I only had two (they were non-alcoholic though so don’t go there) but if I could have I would have had more, they were so great!

Then we parted ways and I went to pick up the kitty food from Sasha, then I went home. I finally finished cutting the HSM audio and edited all the info on itunes and sent it out to everyone… it felt good to get that off my list!

Day 211/365 (March 17, 2009)


St. Patrick’s Day! I got up and went to meet Karolina at a place on 35th and met some of her other friends, then I went to say hi to Brian the birthday boy at the house of brews. I ended up spending lots of time at 3A with Sasha, Matthew, Mary, and Pip… and eventually Nick and Mackenzie. We performed some SA and 13, and took lots of pictures, we took Pip on a walk to the Wicked Stage Door and I wore no coat… stupid! But I was so green. Someone told me Pip was a summer dog, not a winter dog… what does that even mean? Eventually Matthew, nick, and Mackenzie walked me to the subway but they ran into someone so we spent time doing nothing much and I showed off my “cartwheel” because well I cant do them. I also spent a good portion of the day cutting HSM audio.

Day 210/365 (March 16, 2009)


It was so great to be home! I fell asleep about 5 am so I am unsure why I woke up about 10:30 on my own! However when I did Fred came over to me and nuzzled me for a bit, and then he left and Emma came up and took her place on me.

I finally got up did dishes, ate a little something, spoke with my mom on the phone, finished my blog, then began my tireless internet pursuit.

It has been not working unless I steal unreliable wifi from someone so after hours of fighting I was finally able to send a few emails and send off some more resumes. Now I am getting ready and going to NWS in the hopes of Jesse going on as something in Boyz since it is probable…. But I am only seeing it if he is on… which causes me some stress because I really was doing good about not seeing it and I can make it until April but it isn’t often he goes on so I will if he is.

Turns out he was on and I got like the second to the last ticket to the show! Somehow I managed to lose my ticket within 60 seconds of having it, but luckily I found it 5 minutes later, and the show was great! I was made extremely happy by running into Mr. Cookie outside NWS! It was nice to see how Jesse has made the role his own and he was super bubbly and bouncy.

After the show I of course needed to get a BC/EFA picture and MKC had come to watch the show after he got back from TX… I was so busted since it wasn’t April, but I mean Jesse was Mark!

Day 209/365 (March 15, 2009)


I woke up, packed, and checked out of the hotel. Since I had some major time to kill before I needed to get to the airport I decided to go to visit the stockyards since I was told I should check it out. I got there in time to see the tail end of the cattle drive and roamed around a bit. The people in Texas are really quite nice! I poked in the stores and roamed the brick lined streets. I pet a horse and found my Texas magnet! I also bought a really fun necklace that is called “ a princess necklace” which is so fitting for me… but it comes with a “cage” and you could pick one stone to put in it so I chose a pretty purple one… but when I was exploring the rest of the store they had a gem bin… which I have always had a problem with since I was little because I LOVE collecting those types of semi-precious stones. I was responsible and only bought the small bag, not the big… but the fun thing was that all the stones I got I can use to change in and out of my necklace cage so I got different colors to match my different shirts and now I can always have a necklace to match since I have been liking to wear necklaces lately! AND I am not allergic to the chain since it is a rope… I am just afraid I might be allergic to the “cage.” Time will tell… When I went to the register to checkout the woman behind the counter told me that she was listening to me pick out the stone I wanted to go with the necklace and said that it had been a long time since she heard someone as excited about the stuff in the store as her.

This trip really was amazing and worth the crazy money I ended up spending on it… I made some new friends and actually explored an area I traveled to and didn’t just see a show. It was also really nice to just be able to drive.

Then I went to the airport and allowed lots of time figuring I would get lost, and it would take forever to return the car since it did to rent it, and I figured the security checkpoint… well I didn’t get lost, there was no line to return the car, the shuttle cam right away, I didn’t have to wait in line to get my ticket, and there was not one person in line at the security check point! I was three hours early for my flight that ended up taking off two hours late! I was able to take a nap and charge my ipod for a bit since I forgot to do that the whole trip. It was kind of nice because I ended up listening to all 4 of my mix CDs during the trip and at the very end the last song I listened to was Honey by J.L. sung by MKC, which made it kind of full circle.

Also there was a little girl on the plane behind me and she was so cute and pronounced her Rs like Ws and I loved when she said I love Pwincesses… and at some point she told her mom that everyone should wear undies.

At this point I am afraid I am going to miss my connecting flight… as in unless that flight got delayed I will definitely be missing it because we left so late. The flight was delayed a little bit! I landed in New York sometime well after midnight, and got on the M60 bus to go back home. Whilst on the bus someone opened the window I was right next to and my face froze from the wind. When I got to 125h st I didn’t feel like taking the subway so I walked back home at like 1:20 in the morning! It was a nice walk, and then I watched some TV and fought my lame Internet connection by giving up and stealing wifi… I am calling time warner tomorrow to complain!

I also hate newnew facebook, I don’t see how it is better, and I will try to use my phone even more so now!

I also haven’t finished writing my LJ entry at this point… I need to do that and the kitties have barely given my 5 seconds to myself, I am both in love with this and annoyed!

Day 208/365 (March 14, 2009)

I got up so very early and took a shower in one of the worst water pressure showers ever! Then I dressed and headed to get some breakfast form the hotel lobby… a blueberry muffin and orange juice. Then I went outside and found it was so very cold so I had to change into sneakers and long pants… so glad I brought my hoodie!

I have no idea how I made it to meet Hope’s sister Sara at the train station in Dallas without getting too lost. (I did have a tiny detour) and by the way the Texas highway set up is really annoying and confusing! Not all the exits have numbers and they have so many routes that collide and have weird names… like 35E… but that doesn’t mean it is 35 East… that means 35E in either north or south… it messed with my mind, and there aren’t random signs along the road that let you know if you are on the right highway still!

I waited a bit before meeting up with Sara then we went to use the dart and took it to Lover’s Lane… then we walked a bit to meet up with her friends. Let me tell you the St. Patrick’s Day parade was all sorts of fun! There were people everywhere dressed in green and having a fun time, almost all he floats that drove by threw beads into the crowd and I got really good at catching them. Other stuff was thrown too, most unusual a jalapeño and oranges.

Her friends were all really great and when the parade was over we walked to find a bar they said was great and had food. It did seem like a pretty fun place to go hang out but because the parade crowd was all there after waiting for like an hour or so we still hadn’t gotten a table and I had to leave so we walked to our cars since we were already more than half way there and I passed girl scouts selling cookies and bought a box of somas… best and worst thing I could have done. In the parking lot there was also a couple sat on top a cooer in the middle of the roadway making out and cars had to go around to avoid them and we all found it pretty funny! Another thing to note was that people were tailgating the parade and it was just a really fun environment/atmosphere. It was also fun to walk in the middle of the street to get to the bar called Ozona… since the roads were still closed off because they needed to be cleaned before cars could drive on it again.

Then I made my way back to Fort Worth so I could meet up with some people to go to dinner. On the way I found someone’s credit card in the ground… sadness for her! We went to PF Changs, which I had never been to before and got some yummy food. The shrimp dumplings were my favorite, and I got sesame chicken and then some sort of banana thing for dessert. It was an interesting dinner since the waitress just kept coming over and talking to us every chance she had, and she was really nice but I kept thinking “don’t you have other customers?” There was also a little mishap with finding glass in someone’s food… seriously glass! (good thing it wasn’t me!)

Then we finally left and this was the first moment of the trip I saw something and didn’t take a picture of it which I kind of regret… but there was this building that had windows and stuff painted on top… so it looked like there were windows, it was pretty random!

Then I passed sometime talking on the phone with mark and roaming the area. I am happy I decided I had to use the bathroom when I was in the performance hall because the stalls had music bars on them and I liked that lots!

I saw the show again and was the awkward person to start the standing ovation at the end… I mean really people the performers just worked really hard to entertain us; standing is the least you can do to show your appreciation!

Then I went to the SD one last time and said goodbye and found my way home… I didn’t get lost and towards the end I dint need my directions anymore… I was quite proud of myself!

The more fine details of this will be found in a livejournal entry if you are one of my LJ friends.

Day 207/365 (March 13, 2009)

Barely 3 hours of sleep, but nothing could bring down the happiness! I got up, got ready, fed the kitties, said goodbye to the kitties, and headed to the bus to take me to LaGuardia… Sadly I just missed one by the time I had walked to 125th ST but luckily I only had to wait 6 minutes or so in the cold. Then the bus got me to the airport and I got all paranoid because when I went to use the kiosk machine to check in and avoid the lines it said Please See Agent. So I had to wait in a long line while freaking out that somehow my tickets had been cancelled. It turns out it was because my seat was in the exit row and they needed to ask me if I would be willing to help out in an emergency situation if I wanted to get my ticket on the plane… I said yes. Then I waited through the security checkpoint, which didn’t take that much time in the grand scheme of things. I grabbed a bagel from Dunkins so I wouldn’t starve and wait to board the plane. I was stuck in a middle seat but it was still all l good in the hood. I fell asleep for a while we taxied and waited for take off. It got backed up we left so much later than we should have which caused me worry that I would miss my connecting flight. However in a very rare moment for myself I told myself “I have no control over if I miss the next flight and that what will happen, will be and not to stress over something I can’t control.” You know what it made the trip so much nicer! I spent the majority of the trip reading the final Princess Diaries book, but after like 75 pages I got tired of reading and began rocking out to various boots of Bitch Of Living (unusual) until we had to turn off our electronics. We landed and pulled in and they made an announcement asking the passengers to let the people off that had to make very tight connecting flights… I ran off and got to the terminal at 12:05, which was 5 minutes before they stopped letting people board! Lucky lucky lucky! There was some sort of team on board and when we landed they pilot wished them luck on their competition…. It was a gymnastics team that seemed like it had about 20 junior high schoolers in it.

The next flight (layover in Atlanta) put me in the middle again, but I made a “new best friend” when the window seat guy got to our row and was like you can just move down if you want so I don’t have to step over you and I was like THANKS! (So lucky)… I know most people think I am crazy but when I fly I love to look out the window and I think it is wasted when people shut the flap or sleep the whole time. My favorite is take off or landing when you can see the ground below. It always makes me think about how amazing people are and how everything was built like roads and houses and buildings and how it all somehow seems to fit on this space we call earth and we have this incredible technology that can bring us like 30,000+ feet in the air… so crazy! I would also like to point out how stressful it is to transport cookies through air travel? (I stuck a few of Matthew’s cookies aside to bring to Texas. I listened to music, wrote yesterdays and this part of the blog, then nothing until I go to the airport. Our stewardess had a strong Scottish accent.

So it was freaking freezing, 39*!!!! And rainy, and I had to wait over 90 minutes to get my rental car because their computers were down! (Everything was being done by hand.) I reserved a small car because I am only one person with not that much stuff… but they didn’t have any small cars so they gave me this beast of a car, a KIA rotundo. Guess I finally get to drive a KIA even though I don’t care about that anymore. The car also cost WAY more than I was told and I had a little heart attack but freedom right?

So I get in the car and I pull out my 4 mix CDs. I made them by selecting songs I would want to listen to, I mixed them up in a crazy nonsense order, burned them to 4 discs, then I shuffled the discs so I had in idea what came first so I wouldn’t know what was on any CD. I put in the disc I later labeled 1, pushed play, and know what the first song to play was? Honey by J.I. as sung by MKC… was that not crazy? Then a little ways driving I found this place and it made me giggle… I got so lost finding the hotel and I am bummed I cant go swimming because it is too cold, but I am excited to get settled in, then I am going to go exploring a bit before I get to see High School Musical.

The show itself was actually quite good! I think the cast did a great job. The theater (though it is actually a “performance hall” is really quite pretty and radio Disney was there to entertain the mass of kiddies before hand. I cant believe that show was put together with only two weeks of rehearsals! Before the show started though I had about 4 children and three adults think I was an absolute kook! I put my ticket in my “playbill” as I always do and put it in my bag. Well I went to double check my ticket was still in there and I couldn’t find it so I looked up and down the aisle to locate it to no success and it was no where near my seat… the people around me could tell I was looking for something and when I told them my ticket they couldn’t understand why I still needed it since I was already in my seat, but they helped to look nonetheless. One little boy told me he thought he saw something flutter down form my stuff like a leaf when I went to sit, and the little girl next to me looked down in the orchestra pit and found it on the ground, so I had to ask a keyboard guy if he could please hand it to me and he did thankfully! Well then I went to find my phone so I could turn it off… yea couldn’t find it again and the same little boy behind me found it on the ground under a seat down the row form me… how it got there I have no idea! But yea I was a bit of a discombobulated mess!

I waited at the Stage door after and it was nice to see MKC. The little kids were all so cute and excited and it made me smile. I was able to chat with him for a bit before I left and got so very lost… I ended up at a 7/11 where the employees thought I was hilarious when I told them about my night and that I had come from NY to see HSM… but eventually I found my hotel and played online before going to bed.
The more fine details of this will be found in a live journal entry if you are one of my LJ friends.

Day 206/365 (March 12, 2009)


So much happened on this crazy day.

It was an early day that brought me to do laundry because I hate to come back from trips with a messy laundry basket (and sink but I forgot to do the dishes). I felt like Krysta going to do it because I was wearing flip-flops even though it was slightly chilly and I was wearing her ASU hoodie. I needed to wash the Kentucky one and I realized I couldn’t bring that one to Texas because it says wild cats on it and well I am going to see high school musical which of course has wildcats as their mascot!

I used laundry time to go to CVS and pick up travel sized items and then had an unusually pleasant conversation with my other on the phone that last for over an hour! When I got back I put away my clothes and begun to bake. I made some M&M cookies because I was going to see Matthew is his show later that night and I always promised him that I would bring him cookies if he was in a show! In the midst of baking I began to pack and must say I was very proud of myself because I have never packed so efficiently in my life! Everything fit well and was easy to carry!

Eventually I made dinner and took a shower to get ready for my outing into the outside world. I was also excited to find out Krysta would be joining me since this was also the only performance of his she would be able to catch and I got to see her newly cut hair with bangs that looked great!

Our train moved us along to W 4th street and record time and when we emerged we found a place that had such yummy gelato! Then we went to the performance space and waited. We lucked out and had Matthew’s mom, and brothers at the performance too! Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen his show, A Strange Serenade, which is part of The Short Attention Span Festival of musicals.

The first show was comprised of two guys and a girl. As a musical it sucked… there was no book, it was just songs and these songs didn’t really string together a story they were just individual songs. As far as talent the songs were pretty good, and some down right funny and the people were great singers (most of the time). There was a song about sticking a knife in someone’s heart (and other violent things) that I found downright amusing… and there was a song that had a Patti LuPone freak out moment in it… you know Patti that may have been the most unprofessional thing but it has given us so many wonderful comedy moments now because of it!

The next show was torture. Krysta even put it up there on the list of the disaster that was Nero! All I know is they needed to stop singing about twine and the guy needed to know his lines better. This was part of the SHORT ATTENTION SPAN Theater it should have ended long before it did.

I was so relieved after Matthew’s show was over because it was actually good. I was excited to see Matthew in a show and he (and the others) rocked it. It was about a guy and a girl meeting in a coffee shop on a first date and the girl has this barbershop quartet that follows her around and adds musical moments to her life, and one of them says some funny things to the guy. The guy turns about to be a little crazy and carries a stuffed animal frog around with him everywhere and speaks for him in a frog voice and his name was, I believe, Finneas The Frog. The show was super cute and pretty short, but it had the elements of a good story and was done well. I really am just so proud of Matthew for jumping into this show and making it seem like he had been with it since they begun rehearsals… He is going to go far I am sure!

The final show… oh my goodness! So many things to say about it. As a musical not so much there was a very loose story line and towards the end of it I did feel like they were just sort of beating a dead bush and no book… however it was still hilarious and the people that were in it did such a terrific job! They were all rats and dressed that way (including some seriously long tails). When the show was over we couldn’t stop singing “rats in the city” and “these titties ain’t going to sell themselves, but if they could baby that would be all sorts of good.” The songs were just funny and outrageous and catchy! One was even a rat singing about watching his family being stepped on and him having an eyeball of one of his sons on him… good times! I wouldn’t mind seeing it again sometimes you just need songs that are about nothing with a catchy tune to have a good time!

****END SPOILERS****

After the show our superstar was excited to get cookies, and then we walked to the subway… Krysta failed at stealing a Rooms poster because it was up there pretty good, but fear not we will try again! Then Krysta and I went to karaoke at TOL. She discovered a new drink thanks to Karolina… an amaretto sour, and I sang two songs. I usually only sing songs if I know them well enough thanks to the problems the karaoke tracks have but I really like the song Pour Some Sugar On Me… even if I only know the chorus… yup basically never singing that again train wreck would be putting it lightly but I sure had lots of fun! Later I felt the need to redeem myself so I went with one of my better songs Oops I Did It Again,…, and was highly amused before the music started when Chris yelled from the audience Britney! They know me so well there!

We also had a conversation with someone about Pogs and what kind of slammers we had… yay for real dead scorpion slammers with a purple background, and random sparkly ones that actually worked. Then we headed home.

I did some last minute packing items like chargers and I don’t remember what else but I got everything done and had a little bit of a nap before having to wake up!

AND at some point while packing I remembered I had a hoodie I could wear to Texas and it was green so I chose to bring that since I will likely be wearing it at the parade I am going to and I would like to have some green seen since it is a St. Patrick’s Day parade and my “everyone loves an Irish girl” shirt will be covered by it.

Day 205/365 (March 11, 2009)

Today was a really great day! I slept until the last possible minute, did dishes, took the trash out and Sasha and Pip came over. Fred and Pip met and had an interesting time but they will become friends in good time i am sure! Pip was just too excited to see him. I had shut Emma in Krysta's room before Pip came ovr knowing she wouldnt be happy with him and she was upset with me, until a little while later i brought her out (holding her) so she could see why i shut her in there... then i could tell she was very happy with me.

Then we walked down to 125th street to go clothes shopping for me at Marshall's since i dont have that many wearable clothes and i am going away and would like to wear something new! I was surprised at how easily we were able to find things i liked, and even more surprised that i found a pair of pants that i liked... i never find pant si liked! They were a little bit more money than i would have liked to spend on them but they looked great and it felt nice to wear jeans that fit correctly and do not require a belt to keep them from falling! Pip was a stellar shopper and i would have had a hard time without Sasha's help. The checkout line took longer than the shopping experience!

Then we went to go to Sasha's voice lesson down by columbus circle. The subway was being mean to us, so we had to take a cab the last few streets to get her there on time. Then sasha asked if i could go to a bank of america for her, then take pip to the park for the first time, which i totally had no problem doing. Carrying around Pip was kind of fun because everyone that got within a foot or two of him would go "awe" "he's so cute" "look at that puppy" and one woman even stopped me and we spoke for like 3 or 4 minutes, maybe more. i let her think he was mine since it was easier that way and she said i was going to be a good mommy for him.... i was chuckling on the inside, but i will be a good auntie!

We eventually stumbled up the bank and took care of the transaction... i love having a bank that is everywhere... because i know that when i need one i just have to walk a little bit and i will find one... in fact we found two in less than 6 minutes!

Then i took him to the park for his first outdoor walking experience... it didn't go so well. At first he just stayed in one place and wouldnt even move with gentle tugging on his lease. Then i tried coercing him by making him walk after part of a doggie treat... he took like three steps then stopped, and then he started to whimper and cry. I let him eat the treat then i picked him up and decided that we would let Sasha try next time when the ground wasnt so moist from random sprinklings of rain. He was kind of cold despite his jacket so i went into a best buy, then later a bed, bath, and beyond to kill some time and keep him warm. Eventually the time came and we went to meet Sasha at her lesson and Pip got to meet another dog called oscar who i think is a pug, is black, and is super cute... Pip wasnt so much a fan of him, then we went back towards Sasha's place and made a lunch pit stop in Subway and found Matthew, Mackenzie, and Penski in there!

We then went back to the apartment and Nick woke up.... while there Pip tried to eat my food, tried to dig to china on my leg, lots of singing happened, i feel asleep and they had fun with me because i am a fierce sleeper, and lots of fun was had!

Eventually i left and went home because i had Texas stuff to tend to and i made a folder with evrything i need printed out... confirmations, directions, and a cover sheet. I also called a couple places to ask some questions i had about packing and all that fun stuff.

I also ate some left over pizza and asparagus and watched TV and played online... it was a very good and productive day! i didnt take any pictures of the clothes so y'all can see them when i wear them... oh and i am going to a place where more people say y'all!

Day 204/365 (March 10, 2009)

bag my ballet slippers came in

This was quite the day! I had decided i had lots of stuff i needed to do and after taking care of job hunting i set out on my errands for the day. This is the first time i spent lots of time doing errands. Although the weather wasn't technically "a beautiful day" i still left the house with nothing but a hoodie and it was good for me!

My exit began with some door troubles, no idea what happened but it decided that it didnt want to shut so after fighting with it for like 5 minutes i won and went on my way. The plan for the day was get stuff i needed to be able to take the ballet class i want to take and look for stuff for Texas. I headed to 34th street to get athletic wear and sunglasses. I looked in K-Mart and then went to old navy. Nothing worked at Old Navy (and i didnt even find any shirts for texas but that is why sasha and i are going out wednesday), so i went back to K-mart since i saw some there. In between i stopped in H&M hoping to find some sunglasses, but i will grab some cash and look on NYC streets some point soon. I also went to Bank of America to get my temporary debit card. Lucky for them i was in no rush since i ended up waiting 45 minutes for something that was finished in 5 minutes once a person saw me.

i got a chance to catch up on the phone with Mark as i walked.

then i walked over to Broadway Dance Center on 45th to get my photo taken for the ID card i need... sadly no one was at the kiosk so i couldn't do that but i got a feel for the place and asked some questions i had to an actual human and got answers that made me excited and feel better. Then i headed over to Sasha's and was greeted by Matthew and Pip, who he likes to call Nibs. It was nice having the pit stop there and chatting, sadly matthew wasn't feeling so well so he went to go for a long nap and i left before he woke up. Finally i had to leave to get to the Capezio store before it closed. I found the ballet shoes i needed for a very reasonable price and made my way out.

I decided to walk up to columbus circle and go to the Whole Foods there and ended up buying asparagus (asparagoose) and pizza supplies. The line was soooooo very long! but worth it. As i was walking to the store i gave Zina a call on the phone and ended up talking to her for almost an hour as i went on my crazy cheese hunt in the store and waited in line and then went outside. FInally i decided i didnt want to get off the phone and was sick of walking around columbus circle so i just walked to the 72nd street station while talking. and let me tell you it was a much needed talk. i have been having random really depressed moments lately and talking to her really helped, i cant wait for the cold to go away so we can hang out again (she doesnt come into the city when it is cold).

then i came home and made another real dinner of yummy pizza with onions and ate my beloved asparagoose! I finally went to watch Tv and we record Law & Order: SVU every week, and if i am home i usually watch it but today i decided i was going to watch without a trace... well as i was doing that i was checking facebook statuses and saw about 6 people with ones saying Gallagher was on the episode of L&O, and i had gotten a twitter from devon saying the same thing. So as soon as WAT was over i put on L&O. i was excited he had a large part on the show this time and well as yo may know i tend to be a little psychotic when i am watching tv shows and movies... i like violence, and i love bad guys, and i i love to see people cry! poor krysta had to deal with my craziness! he did such an amazing acting job on the show but i kept thinking gallagher!  So before i knew who his character was i was hoping he would be the murderer and he finally was! at one point his character was being interviewed by the psychiatrist and he got upset and i started yelling push him push him, and then he did and he feel to the ground and his character picked up a chair to hit him with it and i was screaming yes! the whole time causing krysta to die of laughter! later on he had a dramatic scene and ended up crying and i was like yes crying, and i got to see him dragged away in handcuffs... i dont know why i like to see the bad guys (though his character wasnt actually a bad guy but still) dragged off in cuffs and crying, and why i like so much violence (i like to call drama) but i do!) then instead of going to bed i stayed up way late playing online, writing this, ordering a leotard, and reading Devon's recently updated photo blog.

At one point while watching Without A Trace i stumbled upon someone's blog that had a really funny post that made smile, laugh, and be a little sad all at the same time, but it was a great read!

Krysta and i also decided it was time to throw out our High School Musical shower curtain because it was falling off its HSM hooks by ripping, so now we replaced it with a super cute duck one that i really like, but i miss HSM and it will take some getting used to! At least our bathroom is now primarily blue and not pink.

Day 203/365 (March 9, 2009)

i slept in so late! i woke up at 12:40 which in theory is bad since at one point last week i had been doing really great, but the weekend and lack of sleep finally caught up, and i will get back on track... i will! I spent the day at home feeling not so good because sometimes being a girl just plain old sucks!

the day was spent doing this:
job hunting
tv watching
paying bills
balancing checkbook/calling bank of america
figuring out basic schedule for the week
putting away my now wrinkled laundry
dance class research (that is a picture of one of the schedules)
dishes, lots of dishes
quality kitty time

p.s. Sasha named her new puppy Pippin, and Pip for short... can't wait to call him his name to his face

Day 202/365 (March 8, 2009)

I got up SO early compared to when i went to sleep, showered and made my way to New Rochelle. I knew enough to not bother spending time on my hair since i knew i would be spending quality time with my cousin Dennis who has it out for my hair!

I got into the station and my cousin Paula picked me up and on the way back to her house Clare called to find out if i was coming or not because she thought i would have forgotten about daylight savings and not make it... silly Clare, i am so never late, but she is 10 so it's ok. I had a quick visit with my Auntie Margaret before she and my uncle went back to Ma.. then the day really began! I spent the majority of the day with my five year old cousin Dennis. (ps i took pics of them but don't want to post their pictures in a public place since you know they are kids and don't belong to me). There were different times spent with Winnie and Clare too but they rotated because they had separate basketball games and a birthday party to attend.  My time was spent playing baseball, soccer, watching Wii, being a human slide for Dennis, making sure they ate lunch, playing with Thomas The Tank Engine trains (which Dennis apparently only plays with when i am around because he says i make the best tracks) and getting a drawing of me done. I got to do some catch up time with my cousin Paula. Then we went to Winnie's basketball game, hers was a championship and luckily her team came in first place... but we spent over two hours at the gym and i am not into sports... (her game didnt last that long but they couldn't play until another team finished and well these things never move in a timely manner. Then we headed back to Paula's and tried to have a quick dinner (but not so much for me) before i got back on the train to head into the city. Paula and Ted have gotten a new minivan that is super fab, and has a rear view camera! I also had to set the car clocks in both Paula's car and my Uncle's car.

The train ride back on metro-north ended up rocking because they never collected my ticket so next time i will only have to get a one way ticket... sweet deal! I also totally did some laundry whilst there. Then i went to Sasha's to drop my stuff off before my next destination. When i got there Sasha scared me because she was all "i kind of did something today" and i was like what did she do that could be bad, and she was like "i might have gotten a puppy and he is in my room>" Seriously she made the right decision... he (as you can see)is so adorable and beyond sweet and fell totally in love with me! Sadly i seem to be allergic to him, but only if he licks me, since i was holding him and he licked my neck and within seconds it turned red, had bumps, and was itchy. Sasha was like are you allergic to your necklace and i was like this one i am not and she was like is it him, and i was like it is... how does she pick the ones i am allergic too? but it is apparently ONLY i he licks my neck or face. (they are so sensitive). we chatted for a bit and i ate my dinner which was left over cookies and carrots, so not healthy or really dinner! it fille dme up though :D

Then i pried myself away and head to Jesse's birthday party. On the way i called Mark back and spoke with him in a non-chaotic moment then i went in. The birthday party was lots of fun and i ran into someone i hadn't seen i a really long time so that was nice and we caught up on the happenings of our life. Krysta, karolina, and diane came as well. i also learned a very important lesson... perhaps i should not drink around certain people since when i do my sensors for what i dont like to talk about with people who arent in my close circle of friends goes away and i let my uncensored honesty shine on through. It wasn't anything bad or hurtful so that is all good, but i dont like to let everyone know i am crazy... i mean everyone is, but i dont like to unleash it all at once!

I also have real motivation to take a dance class so i will make it happen. Afterwards i literally ran back to Sasha's because i had to pick up my stuff and most importantly i needed to go to the bathroom like NOBODY'S business and i refused to go there.... i like clean bathrooms what can i say?

well then we got to talking and i was playing with the puppy... at this point he didn't have a name so we just kept calling him he or puppy. trying to figure out a name that was not chocolate and i told her about the party and such what. I ended up staying there really crazy late but it was ok because it was nice talking and petting a puppy and eating more cookies! I got home by 4, then chatted with Krysta forever (pit fall of having a roommate you like and get along with really well! LOL). then i went to bed! Sasha even let me eat a cookie on her bed and i felt really special!

Day 201/365 (March 7, 2009)

Our dinner at The Westway Diner... Our Waiter Sucked so Sasha took it...
...So here is Sasha

The day was beyond totally brilliant and amazing! It began by going to the grocery store and getting the final ingredients for cooking baking, then i came home and made 60 oatmeal raisin cookies! I decided to take a shower even though i really dint ned to, but it ended up being a good thing i did later on! The weather was absolutely amazing out by the way.

To most people the thought of my plans for the day would be so wrong since this was the first "perfect" day since last spring but it was much need and more fun than anything else we could have done that day! The day was DISNEYPALOOZA!!!! Sasha, Krysta, Marty, Jenny, Nick, and me spent the entire day watching disney movies!

We watched The Lion King, Meet The Robinsons, Sleeping Beauty, and The Little Mermaid... 101 Dalmations will have to happen at the next one! At one point i was on the phone with MArk when someone accidentally spilled gingerale on our movies and then we all started screaming for paper towels and someone to turn on the light and we scared poor mark off the phone... i called im back the next day. We also spent the entire time eating nothing but a mix of: oatmeal craisin cookies, red vines, jelly belly jelly beans, carrots, peanut butter M&M's (not me though), Hot Tamales (not me though), lollipops, gummy bears, and i feel like something else. basically we all ate a crazy intense amount of sugar! Krysta was speaking in code about dead guy festivals and coffin races, marty and nick pretended to be disney anime characters, we took turns sitting in different places, and laughed at the jokes in the movies that were meant for only big people to get... the we decided we needed to go get real food and not die of sugar coma.

We headed to the westway diner and on the way nick kept singing "hamster on a piano" and even sung it into chipotle and ran out on the way. Our waiter was a major loser for being so weird and telling us we weren't funny. we were dying of laughter the whole time over various things, and waiter guy kept sneaking up on sasha. Eventually we headed back to the apartment and we were making a riotous amount of laughter and dying from it on the street. At one point Nick accidentally stepped on my flip-flop causing it to come off my foot and i rocked in the hopping and not stepping barefoot on skanky new york street. sasha helped me by letting me lea on her for balance as nick played soccer with my flop and we all laughed... this lady though was all "you sure have great friends" and we were all "why cant you take a joke?" then we crossed paths with ryan and jesse... oops i really am one of those crazy loud street people! but hey lots of sugar and disneypalooza in full effect!

Then we got inside and started watching some youtube videos... some were funny others were not, but one of them was hamster on a piano. while doing this i got a phone call from Emily asking if the band was doing a secret show at Rockwood and i was like i don't know, hold on. So i texted and found out they were! So we rallied the troops (ok just megan since hope was home, and laura far away, and the others were already there) and went to rockwood. This was at like 11 at night and i so was not dressed to really be in public but oh well! 

They said their names were Sven, Sven, and Gretchen t one point and well it was just really awesome to see them since it had been like two months since the last gig we saw, and that is the longest i have gone between shows since i first saw them literally two years ago! It ended up being almost all the regulars at our one table despite the big old crowd when we got there. We chatted with them and each other before heading out... i got home and chatted with Krysta and finally went to bed (thanks daylight savings!) at like 5 and got no sleep since i had to get up so early the next morning... but the day was so much and the day was filled with moments and stories i am sure i will be talking about for years to come!

Day 200/365 (March 6, 2009)

i put a heart on the oven to symbolize no hard feelings, even if we will never be friends!

um 200 say what? i am beyond excited i have made it this far!

This picture may not look like a celebratory monumental picture for the big day... but i promise you it is!

I dont have to have the oven as my sworn enemy anymore! i can't go into detail but if you know what the oven is, this is a major win moment for me... but pretty please do not comment as to what it is since this is a public thing

i watched the rest of She's The Man (started last night before i went out), and have been enjoying watching Spin City and Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and Full House during the day.

I also began helping Sasha with her quest to break the world text messaging record... translation i will be texting her alot! if you have her number you should too :D

I also realized that today is my two year anniversary of Old Springs Pike, even if they are now The Spring Standards i am so happy to have found them. their music is really something special and i can't imagine these past two years without all of the friends i made by going to their different shows... especially my facebook thread of doom people. it all started with my being terribly directionally challenged!

the day isnt over yet, so i might update this later but i doubt there will be anything worth while mentioning until i get to mostly sondheim which starts around midnight so it will catch tomorrow's post!

I am sad i will not be seeing NB at The After Party tonight since i know he will sound great and i havent seen him sing in a while, but i just cant get over my sheer hatred of stupid BC and his hurtful ways. The After Party is a great thing, but not when the host insults people and hurts their feelings and people still go back, i just dont understand it!

Day 199/365 (March 5, 2009)

I baked and ate a lot of brownies... but the birthday boy got them no worries!

I saw Rooms from front row and liked it alot. It seemed a little slow to me until Scottish Jewish Princess and then it was awesome! i cant wait to see it again... i went with Matthew and Mackenzie which made me happy because i hadnt spent real time with them in a while... then i hung out at TOL for a tiny bit of karaoke before going to Sidewalk Cafe to meet Karolina and see Frisco Verdes. The lights were too bright at karaoke and since i was barely there i only sang once.

technically i shouldnt talk about FV since they started playing well after midnight but i wanna break up my happy news posts. (this photo however was taken before midnight). THEY HAD LIKE 4 NEW SONGS AND THEY SOUNDED GREAT AND (stupid caps)... it was just fun to see them perform again, and i am sad i am missing the next show, but not too sad since i will be in Texas!

After the show something seriously awesome happened... and it is proof that "I am that good" so karolia asked me to be her Maid of Honor! but she did it in a fun/clever way!

She handed me a hangman game... it had no punctuation just dashes for the letters and slashes for the line breaks. She wouldnt give me any hint or subject and wouldnt even let me guess letters... she just said to figure it out.... and scarily i did on my first try
_ _ _ _/_ _ _/_ _/_ _/_ _ _ _/_ _/_ _ _ _ _   now if i am not amazing for figurng out will you be my maid of honor i dont know what i am!

Then after we chatted with the band we cabbed it to dianes parked car by NWS and i rode the subway with her to chambers street... then i got on my train there and headed home.

I didnt go to bed right away since krysta and i caught each other up on the happenings of our night,

Day 198/365 (March 4, 2009)


March 4th was a great day! It started with me getting up on the early side to go help Sasha and Jenny get The Little Mermaid tickets since their student ticket policy is lame and only one per ID, and Jenny doesn't have one.

I ran into KD at 72nd St while transferring and was glad i didn't look like a crazy person this time, then when i got to the theatre Matthew and Todd had walked with Sasha on their way to an audition. I had never met Todd before and he was pretty fab :D

 We got the tickets (ended up getting front row center... too bad i wasnt seeing it) and then went back to Sasha's. I played on Rex (computer) for a bit until Jenny got there and i met her puppy Cashew. He came into the city for a doggie birthday party. He was so cute and we all loved him lots... Matthew and him didnt get along so well at first but once he conquered his fear they became besties as seen above. Todd pretended that Cashew was an understudy for Bruiser Woods and did a lovely scene from Legally Blonde... hilarious!

Then eventually Sasha, Jenny, Cashew, and myself headed down to South Street Seaport to drop Cashew off at the party. There were so many adorable dogs there... they were all so timy and happy and cute and many kept walkig on two legs they were so excited. There was even a mini dalmation which i didnt know existed. There were so many doggies clothes including some st. patrick's day themed ones that made me want a dog so i could i buy them for it.

The we headed to the Life Cafe to get some lunch... the food took forever to come but it was so yummy! Then we headed back uptown and Sasha and Jenny went to mermaid, and i went home to watch High School Musical 3 which Sasha let me borrow and i liked it lots.

Day 197/365 (March 3, 2009)

The day wasn't that eventful... the biggest events were going to the grocery store and buying lots of different things, and i made homemade mac and cheese for dinner that night... and it has enough leftovers to last me until saturday...

Krysta and i ate the mac and cheese for dinner and fred was a crazy cat! no clue what he was doing

Day 196/365 (March 2, 2009)

The day wasn't eventful until Krysta, Mary, Karolina, Mark, Michelle, and myself went to a reading of a musical called Homeland that Kyle Dean was in. The musical was pretty good but it was only selections from it so i feel like they cut back on the secondary story line which made sense to feature the main story line, but sometimes i felt like something was missing.  The cast was perfect, and the music was quite something. Deborah Lew has such a pretty voice, and well everyone was just fantastic.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Michael, who was co-host at mostly sondheim last friday, was in it. Kyle Dean did a great job and got to sing one of my 3 favorite songs that was performed. ("something in the key of d" is what i refer to it as)

We chatted with Kyle Dean after for a bit and he was surprised to see all of us there.

The most random favorite things of the day for me though play to my "i am so totally a superstar" mindset. so when we went to check in the person with the guest list didnt even ak for my name, and was like sheehan you are all set... and i was impressed he knew my last name too!  then the best part so when we were waiting around for the house to open this guy asked me :excuse me, have i seen you perform at the duplex?" and i was like oh you mean mostly sondheim and he was like yea... turns out he saw me and grace sing church rulez and remembered me... that made my day. Especially since he said perform, not sing... which makes it sound like i had a show there or something which would never happen in a million years but still! and to top it off turns out he was the one who wrote Homeland!

ps there was alot of snow on the ground! apparently it was a blizzard.

Day 195/365 (March 1, 2009)

I had lots of fun on March 1. It was Altar Boyz' 4th Anniversary and i also had an invite to the Party at Hooters. I spent the morning making and putting together Altar Boyzopoly. It was great seeing everyone and the show was fun and the cake looked, but didn't taste, amazing.

The actual post of the day will be in my LiveJournal if we are friends... but as of March 5 i haven't written that post yet.

unfortunately i needed to charge my camera battery and FORGOT to put it back in the camera before i left so on what was one of the most important picture days i didnt have a camera and this was the only picture i took with my phone
