Day 348/365 (August 1, 2009)

this is how i woke up with them cuddled next to me and i am not sure how i pulled off getting this picture. the day started off slow but then things picked up. Mark called because he had found out Jessica was going to be going on as diana and since he is CT he asked if i could go see about if they had any standing room tickets available. i was going out anyway because i wanted to take pip to the dog run so i said of course. 

i got myself ready then pip and i headed to the next to normal box office and inquired about the tickets, we failed as i had suspected but it was worth a shot, then i went to the TKTS booth to find out what they had to tell mark. Even though it wasnt good news he had still decided he was coming in. So Pip and i headed to the 72nd St dog run and hung there for a while. he took a liking to this pretty dog and kept following him around and chasing a thrown tennis ball with these other tow dogs. there was this tiny fluff ball that was my favorite of all the other dogs named riley, he was only a couple weeks old and he was a yorkie/maltese mix and i wanted Pip to be friends with him so i could play with him... didnt work out for me lol. eventually i decided we need to leave the park because pip spent too much time trying to hump another dog so we headed home.

i showered (from being sweaty) and put on some new clothes and headed back out to meet mark by next to normal. He asked again about standing room since they had said to check back later and failed, so we went to TKTS and the seat they had to offer was partial view so he decided against it and we went and grabbed some chinese food and brought it to the courtyard to eat so we werent inside on a beautiful day. he walks really fast! anywho there was only one table open in the courtyard and of course it was right next to some of the boyz. i dont know why i always feel so awkward about situations like that i dont ever want to seem like i am annoying or stalking... i should get over that, but eh. anywho we ate and chatted and killed some time before going back over to the box office and he ended up buying a third row center seat that the people in front of him had just returned since alice wasnt in the show. (their loss and his gain). i stayed with him until the doors opened and then because it was so nice out i just didnt want to go home so i went to the courtyard and started to reread harry potter and the sorcerer's stone. however i was really sleepy and kept dozing off so i was literally in the middle of getting ready to tweet i was leaving when liz w. texted asking if i was still there to hang out a bit. so i said i was and she and lizzy k. came and we chatted for quite some time before they had a ride come pick them up. i still didnt want to go to the subway yet so i walked to 72nd st and finally made my way home. i ended up staying up way later than i should have but what can ya do?

Day 307/365 (June 21, 2009)

emma has been my cuddle buddy since i got back, especially today! she just kept curling up all cute like on me! anywho last night i actually got in bed before midnight and was asleep by 12:30ish which was monumental! this resulted in me waking up around 9!

the morning started off quite nice with yogurt, and yummy sausage made by krysta. we watched way too much tv and all that jazz.

eventually i got myself together and headed to run an errand and meet up with the family. i met my cousins (paula, clare, and winnie, and their awesome Aunt Ming) at Vynl for lunch. it was nice hanging with them in "the city" and they enjoyed the food and restaurant, because duh it is amazing! clare and winnie kept going to check out all the bathrooms. then after we finished i escorted them over to see wicked, and then headed to the NWS box office to buy my AA Day ticket. then i went to the courtyard and read for a bit. while there i checked my twitter app and saw they were still looking for phone banking volunteers for the marriage equality bill in NY State. so i said i was willing to help. it was quite fun and kayla was there! (someone pointed out how humourous it was that everyone who was doing the phone banking were single and we were calling about marriage! the interesting thing was the day really turned out wonderful complete with clear blue skies and white fluffy clouds...

well as i was walking from the courtyard to the human rights campaign office it all of a sudden turned gray and not so pleasant looking. it began to rain just as i got the building (it was mere droplets when i went in). well i was in there we could see out the window the downpour that began... then just before i ended up leaving the rain stopped! i was able to get home without rain, and then when i got home it started opening up again! i was a pretty lucky girl for sure!

ended up having chinese food for dinner and feeding tucker more peach than i intended! i also worked on fixing the next to normal audio someone sent me and creating album art. i didnt fix the bad splicing, but i did put the songs in the correct order, AND give them all the same type of nomenclature. though i feel i should add a little something special to some onf them, but we will see if i ever do that. oh yea i also did a bunch of dishes...

also i woke up in the morning having the strangest dream... it was about my dad, which is kind of fitting on father's day EXCEPT in my dream my "dad" was kind of a non-formed being (as in i never saw him even though i was looking at and speaking with hom... and to make a long story short he told us we were moving to brooklyn and i in my dream i started to cry because i didnt want to move to brooklyn and i was freaking out about how long of a commute it would be to get back and forth from manhattan and brooklyn... then i woke up

Day 287/365 (June 1, 2009)

i went out on an errand with tucker for krysta. it was so frustrating because tucker just flat out was not cooperating in the walking department and i had to carry him most of the way. anywho i finally found the drop box i needed because krysta had given me the address it was by. so when i couldnt find it i went in the building who had the address she gave and CARRIED tucker. well anywho i asked the security guy if he knew where the ups drop box was and he told me it was right over there by the other security guard. (about twenty five feet away). anywho i told him thankyou and he said but you cant go there because no dogs are allowed in the building, then asked if i had someone else who could go drop it off for me, and i was like no it is just me and him and i am carrying him, cant i just drop it off? he once again said there are no dogs allowed in this building and i was like well i am going over there now pretend you dnt see him and he was protesting to the other guard like i told her no dogs and he looked like she just is trying to drop off a package, no big deal! really that guy was one stupid person.

on the way home i finally stopped and bought fruit from the street guy and got so much yum! i mean look at those cherries and peaches! i even bought a super yummy tomato and a fresh avocado to eat. i came home and ate the tomato and avocado, two peaches, and like half a pound of cherries!

anywho mark had called and said he was coming into the city to try avenue q lotto, and i said i would come meet him and help. krysta asked if i could bring tucker then and she would help, so i did. i ended up being the first name called and well afraid my lotto luck is maxed out right now. then mark and i headed to next to normal to try and buy tickets for him, michelle, and i think nicole... but there lady there wasnt so cool so we failed. then we got some yummy chinese food. since i had sweet and sour chicken not too long ago i got chicken and broccoli... i really LOVE broccoli!

then we hung in the courtyard until he went to the show. i headed home and watched part of i'm a celebrity get me out of here... i can sense this will be a new guilty pleasure! then i went back out and met him at TOL for some open mic night. we stayed for a while and had fun and i was skeeved out at one point and also made really happy by something mark had done for me... yay!

i missed kate pazakis' cd release party which made me really sad, but i just couldnt spend the money on it... i am getting more careful with the use of my money... and yea i know it totally ricked and had a great turnout and thankfully sasha didnt end up being there by herself.

also on my way to meet mark after Q let out i had a showdown with a rat... i was brave and stood my ground... the subway people cheered me on!

Day 185/365 (February 19, 2009)

Today was an interesting day. i consider the day beginning at 4:10 when i met up with Mark. I met him at the Marriot and we hung there for a really long time until we headed to get dinner before seeing Altar Boyz. It was a nice surprise to find out Mary would be joining us.

After yummy chinese food and good conversation we headed over to NWS. We hung in TOL for a while until it was close to showtime. Mary had fun playing with my phone and getting a feel for it since she is likely getting an iPhone soon, and we all kept up with our lovely conversation.

Mary went home, and Mark and I saw Altar Boyz. I love this show so much, but i think for the sake of me continuing my love for it i need to take a little bit of a break from it. There have been 19 days in February and i have already seen it 5 times! After Diane's anniversary celebration, and the actual anniversary celebration i wont see the show again until April... unless there is a special wunderstudy action reason.

After this point the rest of my day can be found in my LJ account, but only if we are LJ friends since it has personal stuff in there. Except this is a picture of krysta's room and i am proud of her because this is the first time in at least a month she has had floor space.

Day 149/365 (January 14, 2009)

So i was at work until 11 in the morning and had already planned on trying Wicked lotto with Sasha for the night show, but when i saw the time thought "why don't we try the matinee and if we lose we can still try the night show." Sasha liked this idea so i met up with her and Matthew and we tried our luck... Sasha won the Wicked lotto for the first time ever, and i was so happy for her and myself.

Then we went back to Matthew and Sasha's place and ordered CHinese Food... it took FOREVER to come! like over an hour and we barely had time to eat before heading to the theatre, sadly Kyle Dean wasn't in the show that day. I won't lie i was more than a little crushed, i really am not a gigantic fan of Wicked and feared i would be in pain watching the show... luckily the current cast is pretty great and that made the show actually kind of enjoyable and i enjoyed the understudy that was on for Elphaba.

After the show was over we didn't bother stage dooring since i had already done so the past Sunday, and there was no kyle dean to say hi to, shallow i know but it was COLD! we went back to the apartment and just hung around for a while which was nice to catch up with Sasha and Matthew... then i left them to meet up with Mary and Kavin... they were hungry so we went to The Olive Garden, too bad i ended up feeling sick, but it was nice to socialize with them before i went home and went to bed!
