Confusion.
About everything.
Yep, that just about sums it up.

There's always that one person in every group that no one really likes...
So, 62nd Annual Tony Awards were tonight.... so what does that mean? The Tony Party. And what does that generally mean? Drama. Of more than one kind.
First of all, Patti LuPone wins... AGAIN... really? For a show that was just revived a few years back. And In the Heights won for Best Musical? Really? But then again, considering that the nominees for that category were all pretty lack-luster, I guess it was the lesser of the evils. It truly was a year of revivals, and great ones at that. South Pacific - words can't express my love. Sunday in the Park with George - ah-mazingness. Gypsy - eh, could've lived without Patti LuPone in it with her billion and a half curtain calls, but whatev. Fingers crossed for a better season next year.
Second, Can't we all just be friends and get along? Do we really have to participate in middle school drama? AND people who have never seen the Tony Awards before have No authority to say anything to anyone... you have No idea what you're talking about. Thanks, but sit down and shut up. If we want your opinion we will ask for it, but we don't, and so we won't. Also, murmuring under your breath? Really? We're not stupid, we can hear you... and we're still not impressed. Please note: the party was much better AFTER you left, and thanks for that.
Overall, it was a learning experience. I learned that: Jon would make an attractive UPS Guy. Trevor gets a little over-excited when it comes to hot, openly gay musical theatre actors. Patti LuPone wins Tony Awards simply for showing up. Clara requires costume changes mid-Tonys. And there is always that one person in every group that no one really likes.

My Return to Therapy
Alright so, I used to blog every single day and found that the act of blogging is very cathartic, and seeing as how if I went to therapy I'd only get a "How Do You Feel About That?" reply... I figure, I can do that same for myself and for a hell of a lot cheaper. So, this is my official return to blogging and my self-commitment to a "True Janian Reply"... and yes, I did just steal that from Charlotte Bronte.
Anyways - I am in Kiss Me Kate this summer at Hart... having a blast with my faves there. I'm single-ish, but having lots of fun. I seem to always have some kind of drama going on when it comes to men... but I'm going to TRY my best to keep those blogs to a minimum.
My brother just got married... to a woman ten years older than him with three kids of her own... I love them and all, but I'm having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I will never "really" be an aunt... at least in the sense that I will never meet Adam at the hospital and hold HIS child in my arms and know that the baby I'm holding is MY niece or nephew. But, all that aside, I'm truly very happy that he is happy.
All my friends are moving up to New York City and leaving me in North Carolina to rot... Tony started it off, now Ian, then Adam, and finally Trevor... sure it's technically not going to be that long until I'm up there are well, but still... it really sucks in this present moment.
I've complained a lot already - see how easy it is to fall in to catharsis mode and spill your guts on a blog? - so I feel like I should talk about something positive for a minute. Hmmm... let's see... OH! Okay, so I feel really stupid admitting this, BUT I just finished the third book in the Twilight saga... Clara made me read it... I really didn't want to, but she made me do it... well after about the first 20 pages or so I was completely hooked, so I can't really blame her. Anyway, I'm a little... okay, A LOT obsessed with those books, that storyline, and of course Edward Cullen... and I feel my IQ dropping ten points just talking about it, but I can't explain the ah-mazingness, so I won't even try. Just trust me, and go read those books. Now... especially, you, Jon Milner.
Ahhh... I feel better already... yes, this was a good idea... and another good idea is sleep. I'm working at the JBJ tomorrow and if it's anything like today was... I need to get some Zzzz... lots of Zzzzz. Tomorrow is more work and more Kiss Me Kate rehearsal... and I'm exhausted, overworked, and underpaid, but aren't we all?
