Wow. Well good for me. I actually got this huge project finished today. I was convinced that it would ride over until tomorrow.
But nope!
(insert golf claps here)
I failed to mention in my last, ridiculous entry that I received my plane tickets for Florida yesterday!
YAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYSNARF! I am so excited. Want to hear something embarrassing? (Sure Joe)
I sat and read every detail on the tickets and brochures. Then a tear slipped out of my eye and fell on my leg. No joke.
The reason for this is simple:
I have never been on a real vacation without my family. This is such a huge step in me becoming an adult. I can't believe that I am almost 25 and have never done anything like this before. In the past it meant nothing to me to do this. Now...it's all I think about. For a whole week Paul and I are going to be attached at the hip. Loving eachother, fighting with eachother, kissing and hugging eachother, (maybe even fucking eachother by that point). It's pretty unbelievable. I don't have to share him with anyone for a week and he won't have to share me.
I spent almost my whole day at work yesterday printing out information about things to do while we are in Orlando. I found some gay clubs for us to go to. I ordered this $10 coupon/brochure kit that is based out of Kissimmee. (Kissimmee is 5 minutes from where we are) The kit has over $3500 worth of coupons/free passes to places, etc. It will give us some idea as to what else to do while we are there. Also it will hopefully save us some money. (And the kit comes with a free t-shirt, so how could I NOT order it?)
I also ordered a free Disney Vacation planning video. The tickets to the theme parks are very expensive and I figure the video will give us an idea as to what parks we want to go to. We ain't doin em all...cuz that would cost just under $500. Uh what?
Disney...you be robbin me blind.
I am more excited for Universal though. I definitely want to do both of the parks they have there.
Also, I talked to my mom last night about renting a car for when we are down there. She can score me a phatty deal and then we will have it for the whole week! Aren't moms the best? I just love her. She is making this vacation turn into the most amazing experience of my life.
She is so good to me.
So that's the vacation update.
Now lets discuss RENT for a minute.
First off...I think it was Roger and Angel's first performance. Not only did Roger absolutely suck to the point of embarrassment (no...I am fucking serious...he was ugly/had horrible pitch/and no stage presence whatsoever...yikes), Angel was also not good at points and OK at other points. At the end of the show when they show the video on the wall...both the old Roger and Angel (from when Paul and I saw it a couple months ago) were in it. They should beg those two to come back and boot these amateurs.
Manley Pope was the old Roger...and YUM! Also, I don't know if you memble or not, but the old Angel hit on me outside of the show last time. As soon as I saw his face in the video, I about melted all over again. Damn he was cute.
And not too feminine...in real life that is.
The first act of the show was really off. My mom actually said to me, at intermission, "Doesn't this seem like a college performance?" I burst out laughing and said "Yes mom...yes." Thank God she has seen it before.
The second act was SLAMMING! I burst into tears during Tom Collins song...as always...but this guy did it (as Rita said earlier) Mary J. Blige style. He screamed the ending and I sat there with my breath having been taken away. It was so wonderful.
They really got their act together during the second half and I was so relieved for that.
I would LOVE to see the show again tonight if I had a billion dollars. Or maybe if I have $50 that would work too.
I didn't get home until really late. My room looks like shit and I was exhausted. Gotta catch up on rest and clean my shit up. Paul will be here and my room stinks of STANK! Plus I gotta do laundry and damn I got a lot to do.
Does it ever end???
Alright...I think that is it for today. I hope everyone is enjoying the weather. It is fucking so beautiful and toasty. Stop complaining you babies. Summer is a time for smiles and tans. Well at least tans, ok?
Hi Jeannie! Are you still reading? I miss you and love you! Come see us again soon, k?
I will rest my voice before you get here so that my RENT performance will be up to par.
PEAYCE!
But nope!
