Day 164/365 (January 29, 2009)

Lizzie and I went to Borders to see the cast of Altar Boyz perform. It was super fun as always and well nothing like being embarrassed by the super awesome press guy beforehand (david).  OK so it wasnt actually embarrassing but being told you could perform the show i the event a cast member could not be found is a sign you have seen something quite a bit of times! (not that it would ever stop me from going back!)

This was the last day Lizzie was here and we went to karaoke later that night... it wasnt very active but we still had a great time and did some singing... we sang you cant stop the beat in honor of us singing that the first night she had come, and i ended by ad libbing "unless you go back home to north carolina" 

i am glad she had a good time while she was here, but i still miss her!

Day 161/365 (January 26, 2009)

i did lots of laundry, including my bed sheets and decided to use my down comforter. i really love this blanket. Not only is it really pretty but it is so comfortable. When i was in the laundry mat with krysta and lizzie we played with this little boy who's mother wasnt really watching him all that well. we played peek-a-boo and he would throw himself on the ground and we would have to pick him up and kiss his hands better. krysta was the best at these games.

Day 158/365 (January 23, 2009)

This day was spent sleeping, watching TONS of Hannah Montana and other things, and job applying. I also spent quite a bit of time trying to get a good shot of fred playing... here he is playing with a catnip mouse and doubled over himself in a swatting manner... good times!

Then i went out to Mostly Sondheim, and although it didn't start until after midnight i shall write about it as Friday, since i got there on Friday... but it was lots of fun and it was nice to have Kate back... and i even sang I'm Not That Smart with finger puppet and everything!!!! I was quite proud of myself :D and Lizzie even came to watch it with me!

MT even said i did good and should sing it again next week (very nice of him)... and before i sang he informed the room that i was shy... ha! in that setting i was just a LOTta bit, but it made me chuckle inside because i havet been called shy in at least 8 years!

Day 157/365 (January 22, 2009)

So Lizzie decided to stay longer for her job hunt and we spent the day applying to places online, and then we headed over to TOL for karaoke night where we met up with Lil.

There wasnt that many people here this week (which was kind of nice) but it was still lots of fun. By the end of the night i had seen two people sing that i never thought i would see sing (RL and "george michael") and i had sang a bunch of songs... there was my favorite which ended up being the maureen part to lizzie's joanne of take me or leave me, techno its gonna be me with the wrong words on the screen (good thing i knew the right ones), the shoop shoop song, and walk away by kelly clarkson.

Lil even sang! i also was a little offended because a drinking club approached me and assumed i was a drinker and asked if i wanted to join there club, i was like dudes i have been drinking like 4 shirley temples and they were surprised... just because i sing karaoke in a bar doesnt mean i am a drinker! i just like to have fun!

i also was involved in a conversation with some people that made me a little sad but i kept a straight face when in my head i was saying TMI TMI TMI.... need to leave. It wasnt bad but we all know how i am easily scandalized and it doesnt take much...

i also learned this evening i need to get my happy self to Texas in March... i will make this happen somehow, if it is the last thing i do!

Fred and Emma were also being really cute!

Day 155/365 (January 20, 2009)

I failed at finding something at the Spring Awakening load-out but i did see the Moritz and Wendla stairs outside and a part of the brick wall and it actually made me a little sad.

Then i walked in times square and saw everyone just at a standstill watching the many TV screens as the inauguration was going on, and that was kinda cool to see so many people so invested in something so important.

Then i met up with Lizzie briefly before going over to Sasha's... there i applied for some jobs and fooled around, then Sasha left me her keys and i used her place as a base of operations while helping people with the wicked lotto, and the avenue q lotto... and i even got to luck out and be there for a UPS delivery which made matthew and sasha very happy. Afterwards i hung out some more before packing up fred and bringing him back here for us to cat sit him until Sasha comes back from CA.

Day 154/365 (January 19, 2009)

The day was all kinds of fun! It was a holiday so Krysta was even home for the most part too!

Krysta, Lizize, and myself went and helped with Avenue Q lotto for a few people then we all headed to Europa. I didn't get anything there surprisingly... then we sat there for a while and parted ways... Krysta, Lizzie, and myself went to putter time before heading over to TOL for Michael's birthday party. We went to Virgin and i found this guy... the photo isnt the best but it is hard to take a sneak picture of someone with their friends around... but he was wearing this flash hoodie and it even had the lightening bolts coming out of it and i loved it!

Then we went to Starbucks for a bit, and then finally we went to TOL for the festivities. We got there early enough to get a seat and let me tell you the night was so much fun! It was also ope mic there and it turns out alot of the Mostly Sondheim regulars come to TOL for Open mic night and it was nice to socialize with them in a more casual setting and before midnight! Lizzie and I even sang My Junk Is You... though i had to read the words and later i sang Friend Like Me which was a crowd pleaser and i was extremely surprised that i didnt have to look at the words and was able to sing it on my own, and the few moments of uh-oh i didnt have to worry about because everyone was singing along with me :D

Michael's party turned out to be lots of fun, and there was even yummy cake!

Day 152/365 (January 17, 2009)

I left the house to go help Lizzie with In The Heights Lotto... sadly we lost but the lotto that night was a massive reunion of running into so many people! i shall try to list them all: Mary, Kaitlyn, Becca, Andrew, Frances, Lindz, Her Mom, Stef, Penski, Sami, Sami's Mom (ok she was on the street as i was walking there), Michelle (SA), Brian, Kate, Katie, seriously i know i am forgetting a few! Also Jo Ann had called me earlier to ask if i wanted her extra Spring Ticket... so i said yes.

Then Jake, Lizzie, and I went and got dinner at a diner and it was really yummy... then they walked me over to Altar Boyz and we parted ways... or so i thought! I went in really early so i could do a cookie delivery before the show... well as i was downstairs occupying myself the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the building! i then went to Starbucks and hung with Lizzie and Jake for quite sometime until they let us back in... i give NWS and everyone involved with Boyz alot of credit because even though we weren't even let back into the building until about 7:48 they still managed to get the show going only ten minutes kate! I was also glad i had gone in earlier because there was such a crowd of people that were trying to get in for the practically sold-out show, and if any other show was playing t that time they were ripping people's tickets instead of scanning them, but since i was already scanned earlier to go in, i was spared a ripped ticket! The show was great of course, and after i did the stage door thing i headed out to a place called the Crooked Knife.

I went there for Whitney's goodbye send off (part one, but i cant go to part two). I met Whitney at my first ever Altarholics day and even though we don't see each other very often i really think she is quite great and i will miss her now that she is heading off to live in Chicago... before i left she, one of her friends, and myself were talking to these random two boys... and well quite frankly i found it amusing since they were the first straight boys i have spoken to that i didn't already know in well a REALLY REALLY long time! Then i snapped this picture of us just before midnight and headed home.

Day 150/365 (January 15, 2009)

Lizzie got in from North Carolina!!!! she is spending the week with us while she is job hunting in NYC and we somehow convinced Krysta to come to karaoke with us in TOL at New World Stages. We got there early at 9:30 and the place was the most crowded i have ever seen it with people i didn't know and that kind of annoyed me because i couldn't even get a seat! but it was still great fun and the best part was Lizzie actually likes to sing karaoke too! My favorite moment of the evening was singing "you can't stop the beat" from hairspray with her because i didn't really know the words too well but we just sang (and i danced) and let loose and it was tons of fun.

It was funny because at one point when i was standing around in the back these people came in and were talking about how shocked they were at the vastness of the crowd and how it usually only has like 12 people, so i turned around to put myself in their conversation as i like to do, and then as i started commiserating with them i realized one was Gabe from SA, and Robi Ha ger was there too and i LOLed inside. (ps i put space in there to prevent google alerts from finding this blog post, crafty i know)

The only reason you can see this photo for the day is because my camera which i thought missing the next day was found in TOL... so happy to have it back!
