A good time had at gaming and hanging out with Genevieve, Michael, Danielle, and Willow. It was one of the last few sessions that we have together until Willow moves to Massachusetts (which is "old news" by about 2.5 weeks, but respectfully not written about 'til Willow made the official notice to cast, etc.)

Gaming was good, and completely tailspinned into new, strange possibilities that may or may involve me ever again... I'm not in the primary action, and may have unexpectedly written myself out by not taking the same path as the others. We'll see how next Monday goes. I'm okay with this in the short run, as the long run cannot be determined hour to hour let alone session to session.

Fortunately, because we all had July 4 off, it was a long night. Even after we finished gaming around 2, Willow, Genevieve, and I kept talking until we each dropped off one by one til maybe 5.

On July 4 proper, Willow had to leave, and the rest of us headed to Ruby Tuesday's where we saw [squirrel]Phil from Union County. He's adorable, still. He was our waiter. He looked older. Do I look older? Does Danielle? I have no idea... but that he recognized us and we were able to figure who he was after a few years, was amazing. He looks really good. Missed opportunities, I guess. Not that he _ever_ expressed any interest in me in college.

Afterwards, we went back to Danielle's and played a new game called Burn in Hell, which was made by the people who made Munchkin. It was a solid game, if a little bloated and sketchy directions-wise. I lost both times we played, but it was fun.

We finished the night nearly getting all the way through Clue. I'm home now. I'm kind of ready to go to sleep. Matt's busy working, and I'm coming off a big socialization jag, so I feel kinda left out. I think I'll just take a shower and expect sleep soon after. I have a lot of work tomorrow, and the rest of the week.

Working backwards, like my memory does.

Monday: That's today! Today was a nice break in the monotonous workday cycle, as I got to have lunch with Amy and Crow. We went got lost, went to Applebee's, and I came back to work some more. Not a stressful day, but filled with a great number of different account happenings. I am going out with Willow later... either between 6.30 and 7, or between 7 and 7.30. I forget which.

Never mind. She's here now. Whoops!

'Kay, bye!

Let's just do this is some sort of day-by-day, ok?

Friday Night. Fun time with The Kids and Willow! We went to Borders and supermarket spelunking, which was lots of fun. I got the Dick Tracy and Cruel Intentions DVDs so I'm all aglow. The Tracy DVD is boring in terms of features (hey, anyone wanna watch "Sooner or Later" with French subtitles?) but I've yet to look at Cruel. That'll be later Monday I'm sure. Also got some extra food like cereal and stuff 'cause I'm still home alone for another week.

Saturday
More Kids! And more Willow! Plus, Danielle and Carrie! Wow... It was fun! We went government private property exploring... Excellent fun, even if cut short kinda sorta 'cause of buggism and over-grown-ded-ness of the plants. That's ok, we sorta replanned to check it out again.
Wetness! Watery stuff was fun, and by the end of "rinsing off our feet briefly in the ocean" we were mostly soaked. Fun, fun, fun!
Also that day - Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, where I stared at the Dogma and Chasing Amy memorabilia and really psyched. We also went through cool thrifty-but-expensive stores and a cool music place (I found Tim Curry's greatest hits but chose against it at the last minute... another time, perhaps). Fun!
As for the show... I had fun. I was Frank. But people are stupid. Stupider than they know, and should learn to proccess things before they speak. Or better yet, proccess and then don't speak. Regardless.

Sunday
Not much to say; slept at Danielle's. We watched Some Like it Hot following diner and I collapsed on the floor soon after. After waking up 4, we watched Madonna's Girlie Show DVD and... stuff... I know we did something to have the hours go by so fast... Oh, we ate. And played Scrabble. Cheating, uh, creative playing, is fun.
I got home, read a LJ comment that pissed me off, e-mailed the boy that plagues me effortlessly, and cut the necklace he gave me from around my neck.

And now I await for an absolution, which may never come.

I actually woke up at 4.15 and slept the day away. I got home like at quarter past five, which is the latest (or earliest) venture to my home after Rocky. Normally I'm home 3.30 - 4.00 but damn, this was late (or, early once again).
Rocky went well! Kristen actually went! She seemed to have a really goos time too, so that was nice. She hung out with John (as in Willow's John... I'm not sure how else to define him, seeing as I met him through Willow... Uh, Rutgers John?) and Chris. Chris did not go to the diner, but it was his loss 'cause we had some serious fun there. The table included Marc, Genevieve, Mike, Danielle, Willow, Willow's John, Kristen, the Kilt Man, Gary/Jason, and myself. We made interactive bohemian poetry. You'll probably be able to find it over at Marc's (see my friend's list).
My sister rawks by the way! Last week she came to see us and she took photos and made a site for us! http://afterophelia.com/rocky/
I'm going to talk to Larry about linking to it from the official HOH site - she got some awesome shots!
This week I think everything went well. I was nervous before the show, which I've not been for a while. It was very odd. I'm not sure what was going on.
Cast SexyGenevieve as Dr. Scott, Carrie as Columbia, Sean as Frank, George as Brad, Larry as Eddie, Teresa as Magenta, Jason as Rocky, Marc as Riff Raff, Allyson as Janet, Gamsby as Criminologist; Transylvanians: Willow, Nate, Wednesday, Danielle, SexyJen. Tech: Angelo, Mike, Gary/Jason. Lights: Erin.
I don't remember screwing up really, but "Superheroes" was done topless 'cause I forgot it and started to take my corset off and didn't have enough time after Ally clued me in. Normally she forgets so this was an interesting change of pace. Maybe I've gotten used to her and I've accepted her difference of performance (as opposed to Danielle, Lea, Willow who is learning the role) but criticism on her performance usually goes over my head. I don't always like what she does ("Dammit Janet" shuffle, "There's a Light") but I'm usually able to balance myself with it. I don't know her really all that well personally (to which some have responded that I'm lucky) but I have generally have no problems with Allyson directly. I'm probably the least confrontational of the cast (and certainly the least passive aggressive, hair-ball-hack-up in the direction of Nate) so maybe that's why. She often feels attacked and I've never given her cause to think I'm attacking her. I don't know... I think a lot of shit she got backstage from other castmembers was ridiculous. I'm definately all for talking about other cast people and I've got opinions and things I like and do not like about their performances but I'm generally only speaking about their performance, and not masking my contempt for their personalities or what they've done backstage or outside of the show.
By the way, I am seriously in love with Alanis' "Narcissus"... Under Rug Swept - the new album. Best tracks: "Narcissus", "Flinch", "Utopia", "21 Things", "Precious Illusions", and "So Unsexy". Yay!

So, Saturday was a little awkward. I think it went well in terms of performances, but behind-the-scenes from undoubtably stressful for some people. Something like that for me as well.
I love Willow, really I do. However, it'd be easier if conflicts she was happening didn't involve people I'm friends with. I don't mean to be selfish; it is much more difficult for her. I just feel sort of awkward. I feel like talking to Ally or even Sean in a friendly way would make her mad. I don't know if it would or if it should. However, guilt over being friends sucks. Even if she were to tell me that it doesn't offend her probably wouldn't help. Apparently I have loyalty issues. I love y'all, damn it. And, Willow, find peace in the depressing music I gave you.
However, in terms of SHOW, yeah, I think it went well.
I had a few fans in the audience, which was strange. I especially had one who I refer to fondly as Gay Ghetto Whore. He could not have been older than 16. However, he was fairly flirtatious, but not even to me, but talked about me to others like Nate. It was strange. I can't explain it but it was slightly exhilarating. Maybe (maybe?) it's from me never being considered attractive from other guys (Nate doesn't count; maybe he should, but he doesn't). It's not even like this guy appealed to me (except in that gay-ghetto-whore kind of way). And, really, if I were a gay-ghetto-whore kinda guy, maybe I'd stick my tongue down his throat like have the girls(!) in the audience.
I found the attraction amusing and very unhealthy. Needless to say, it was an ego-boosting night I reeeeally liked.
Haven't talked to Brandon recently (or been to the Forumz in a few days) but spoke with new guy Piano on Fire. Nothing exciting thus yet, but seems like an interesting person, and he appraoched me after reading some of my posts so he knows some of my interests and opinions (and still called upon me!) I know nothing of him really 'cept he lives in Ottawa.
Kentucky. Michigan. Ontario. I am so good with boys from locations nowhere near me.
Let's hear it for the Dent Boys. The sincere ones.
