Day 35/365 (August 21, 2014)

The day started out really terrible. I didn't get that much sleep because there were two hungry kitties wanting food but since Charlie couldn't eat because of his dental surgery poor Fred had to suffer too. (they ended up extracting 12 teeth!) Then on my way to the office, even though I was far from the curb, a cab shot up yucky sidewalk water and hit me, then I stumbled across a poor dead bird underside up with his feet sticking out that sickened me terribly. All of this is making my tolerance for things extremely small and I keep trying to turn things around but its difficult.

I headed home after work a took a little me time to get into a better mood which worked thankfully, then I got ready for Shoshana and Michael's birthday part with the help of Sasha who did my hair and makeup. I borrowed one of her dresses and actually wore my silver wedges. I always think I look so funny with makeup on. When I was walking there a police officer on a horse saw me and shouted "hey princess" which of course made my night!

The party was lovely as expected and I had a great time. They had a photo booth set up which is always fun and besides seeing some of my friends I also made some new friends that night which is always nice.I will say one of my favorite moments was quite late into the evening when I ran into Natalie Weiss. I am always surprised when she remembers me (which is silly because she always does) but it has been such a long time but when she saw me she told me how great I looked and noticed my significant weight loss from the last time we saw each other. Its little things like that when people notice that really help me feel so much better and gives me the push I need when I start to have a few bad days, especially coming from her. The day started terrible but I am so happy it ended on such a great note. It wasn't even bad walking home in the rain!

Day 311/365 (June 25, 2009)

well i ended up doing another overnight rush for next to normal... this time i slept a tiny bit more than last, mark ended up showing up and mary was able to get a ticket. after i got my tickets i went home and slept for a while. eventually i went and met krysta to drop off tucker and that was the last time for a while because he ripped my pants and almost pantsed me!

then i met up with mary and devon and sasha and marty. after some time there mary devon and i went and filmed some stuff for mary's demo reel for twicon with allison case.

then i went to next to normal and met up with jo ann there too! and finally shoshana. we had an excellent time at the show and meghann (natalie u/s) was FANTABULOUS! all of us hung out after the show for a bit at SD chatting with each other and what not and had a lovely chat with Kyle Dean. then mark and i headed back to my place and i baked cupcakes.

as we were leaving next to normal i stepped in some gravel and it got stuck to the bottom of my flip flops until i pried it off!

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 22/365 (September 9, 2008)

Tuesday I was surprised with the news that my friends had gotten me a standby ticket for Hair in central park. I had seen it a few other times between this year and last year, but I hadn’t gotten a chance to see it with Christopher J. Hanke as Claude. I ended up with best seat in the Delacourt I had ever had and even though Act 1 got paused briefly because of the rain it was still amazing. The cast of this show is so incredibly talented and I am excited they are moving to Broadway but I think some of the magic of the piece will be lost in doors. It will be difficult for everyone to dance on stage at the end, and one of my favorite parts is the end of Act 1 when they have all run off stage, and are singing and you can hear their voices echoing up from underneath you. I managed to get a Be In flyer and a flower right before the tribe was called in because of the rain and I stuck the flower in my head. It started off tucked in my ear but that didn’t work so I stuck it in my ponytail, and I ended up being told more than once (separately) that I looked like Cindy-Lou-Who :D
