I spent my holidays with my father, Michele, Daniel, Amy2, and Andrea. It was a fine, lo-key Christmas. I never really explained it all in my LJ, but I was not with Matt this Christmas; he was in Disney World with his sister, his mom, his sister's husband, and Jamie.

He is returning now; his plane is in the air. I have missed him (he was gone for 5 days, but it was a busy 5 days) and am glad he is returning. Very fortunately tomorrow is Friday which means I don't have too much stress until Monday.

Christmas itself was nice; I had my traditional 5+ hour conversation with Andrea, where we got personal and sociological. Always the best.

Matt and I are throwing a New Years Eve soirée this Sunday, which is sure to be the event of the season. Especially since we've finally hit a guest list of more than 10. Oi! Should be superfun, though.

I haven't been writing a lot, and I'm writing from the PC on the second floor, which I haven't gotten used to yet fully. I'll manage.

Matt and I went to see Andrea in Nunsense last night. I haven't seen Andrea in a show in a long while, and this was I think her largest role yet, as Sister Hubert. She was amazing... I had no idea that she could sing as well as that. She was always talented, but she became a soulful black woman right in front of me. She killed "Holier Than Thou;" it was awesome.

The rest of the show was very good, too. It's an entertaining show.

Michele was also there, so the four of went out to eat afterward, at the Sun Tavern (also in Westfield). We ate and talked for like 2+ hours, about lots of things, like work, and homosexuality, and houses, money, and just stuff in general. It was really nice, since that doesn't happen too often.

Tonight, Michelle and Amy are supposed to come to Rocky Horror. I'm a little bummed that I'm Brad, 'cause I wanted Riff Raff. But I have hopes for next week, and I'm working off of Danielle, who I haven't played with as Brad and Janet in a very long time. There aren't any Transies, though, and that sucks... I'm really hoping the audience has some energy. Small cast nights are always instant death.

Notice
The following remarks were written on days not necessarally in conjunction with this one. How I feel now may not exactly be how I felt then. However, I really wanted to be honest and post what I'd written even if it no longer holds true. That way, at least, it won't seem like some bizarre transition... or at least, less of one.

Thanks for the feelings of okay again, Genevieve. Last night, or this morning rather, I spent a wonderful six hours on the phone with here. Cost me a not-so-bad $10, but wonderful [insert smiley face here].
Right now, I am just really tired but unable to sleep. And really, I did try this night. Eh, that's okay. Not must else to say. I look forward to good stuff again.
At least it looks near.

I am at the beach presently, along with Andrea. Dad + Michele are off walking. And I'm here, slowly scorching my skin off.
I'm in Wildwood - hardly my favourite beach. I don't know... I used to like beaches a lot more when I was younger. I know I had insecurities when I went to them just as I entered puberty, but honestly I'm not all that asamed of my body. Yet, it took me an hour to even shed a piece of clothing and I'm still wearing a shirt. I look around me, see the yummy and destestable alike... No real pressure, I'm not here to impress girls and the boys I'm not worrying about 'cause I don't expect to hook up with anyone and, well, guys just don't openly stare at one another (I keep to extended glances, personally). So, I'm not sure what's up with me there.
At the moment, I'm also really tired - I wouldn've like to have slept more. Andrea and I did one of our famous AM conversations (til 3.30 this last time).
Water's strangely warm, by the way.
I miss you, Rocky people.
I miss other people too.

Burned.
Hurts.

One might think that after months of tension between the cast members, I'd be particularly happy to have the primary cause gone. I'm not, really. I hate the fact that she had to be gone. However, I do take note in my use of "had to be". Allyson's no longer on cast, and most of HOH is happy about it. I join the ranks of those annoyed that occured.
There were those, allegedly (I was not there to witness), that openly stated their disdain for her and her closing remarks were apparently very spiteful. More than spiteful; venomous. She was livid.
Richmond... Y'know, it was really ok. I am glad I went, even if the reason I went there was for Andrea and she was so spread out for family she didn't say much to me (she did approve Jake, though - saw his photo). Both her father and us came to see her, so we had to sort of alternate days. Wished I could've talked to her; it's been forever since we actually talked about much of anything.
Sort of sad.

Jake's about to call so I'll get back later.
