The Royal Wedding

Imagine being Kate Middleton, about to marry a prince! But what if in the middle of your long, elegant wedding ceremony, you desperately need to go to the bathroom! I'd think it would be a serious problem, I mean, you can only hold it so long . . . so while I hope the couple has a long and happy life together, I also hope they have bladders of steel

          

New Music.

I recently became obsessed with a new Broadway show, it opened last week, and since then the songs have been stuck in my head! You know the feeling, the same melody repeats itself over and over and over again, and relief only comes with listening to the song, and the satisfaction that comes with that moment is blissful. But what if there are no recordings of the song? If the cast recording doesn't come out for another week? If there aren't even any illegal recordings? If all you have is a few short snippets of songs that only leave you wanting to hear more, but it doesn't exist.

Happy Easter!

Just keep staring at it forever. Nothing else matters

My Party Dress.

Ever seen someone take an otherwise boring song and act the hell out of it?

When you apply for a job...

They should tell you if you don't get it, right? For example... If I applied for a job as a counselor at a summer camp, then my other friends who apply tell me excitedly that they got the job, shouldn't I have gotten some sort of notification that no, I didn't get it? I know its awkward, but its still courteous . . . and then I have to send an awkward email asking about it because I'm going away for a week and I want to let someone else know that I can work at a different summer camp that I did get the job for . . .

This is an odd feeling. I'm not angry, sad, upset, disgruntled, or disappointed that I didn't get the first job, I just wish they would tell me!

Time Well Spent.

Talyor Mali

I had the privilege of seeing Taylor Mali perform today. He's a slam poet. Poetry, that's kind of lame, right? Wrong! He is absolutely incredible. I would try to describe him, but I could never do him justice. Take a look for yourself!

Cupcakes.

I just made cupcakes that are as adorable as this little girl.

The Icing on the Cake.

I want to make a huge cake. At LEAST seven tiers. Bright colors, edible glitter, funky shapes . . . I'm just in the mood!

Snuggling and Long Days.

Sometimes you snuggle with people you love and stay up literally all night talking and cuddling. Then in the morning you have that oops epiphany where you start to regret staying up, but at the same time it was totally worth it. Then you have a full day of singing, teaching, shopping, eating, walking, staying awake, and other things you're not really capable of.

And it's the best.

Dinner.

Sometimes you walk out to dinner expecting some leftovers. Something grey, unrecognizable, and in a large bowl. But today I was pleasantly surprised to find avocados stuffed with a chick pea and carrot salad, with chocolate covered strawberries on the side. Looks like mommy had some spare time this afternoon!

Opening Night!

As I type the cast of Anything Goes is tapping and singing their way through the opening night performance on Broadway! If you haven't heard about the show, the reviews are already great, and the show's not even over! The only criticisms thus far? This revival is too different than the original (seriously?) Shouldn't the cast and crew of a show be praised for making it original?

"It’s Ms. Foster who leads these numbers, both as a singer and as a dancer. And her triple mastery of words, music and moves is unmatched by any performer on Broadway at the moment. It’s not just that she nails every step, note and joke. It’s the attitude with which she does so — an aw-shucks kind of casualness coupled with a dizzy exhibitionist’s delight."

New Kicks.

New shoes are weird. They're stiff and clean and smell good. You can wear them inside without worrying about getting the house dirty. The laces are still white. They smell good. A little too new if you ask me.

Seriously, SO much better than a pencil

SNL

Netflix just put all the seasons of SNL online . . . my mind is filled with bad jokes, celebrity impressions, scarring commercials and political controversy. And it's wonderful.

Prom Dress Shopping

IT'S THE FIRST WEEK IN APRIL. Who needs a prom dress this early? Oh, that's right, the entire Junior class . . . I went prom dress shopping today, the first round of it at least. It's so sparkly and tacky and filled with sequins. Moms you don't know will tell you what colors look good on you, and which dress is definitely not for you. It's ridiculous.

I'm Coming Out!

Or something? When people ask me if I am gay, straight or bi, I usually tell them straight. But it's not as simple as that. Sure, for the most part I'm attracted to guys, but has there been a lady or two who has given me butterflies? Of course. What about someone who doesn't fit in the gender binary? Sure. I've tried to explain that I'm not just attracted to guys, I'm attracted to people, female, male, intersex, trans, queer... whatever. It's just not important to me. And I've heard this term thrown around a lot, but it wasn't until I looked into it that I realized how strongly I identify with it: pansexual. The wikipedia definition?

Pansexuality (also referred to as omnisexuality) is a popular term referring to the feeling that one has the potential for sexual attractions, sexual desire, or romantic love, towards people of all gender identities and biological sexes. Some self-identified pansexuals refer to themselves as gender-blind—that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.

So basically everything I just said, right? Sometimes you ask people it they want their partner taller or shorter than them. And sometimes they're really passionate about being either the tall one or having a tall partner. Sometimes they couldn't care less, they tand to be attracted to taller people. It's like that. I really couldn't care less, its just usually guys. It's not that I'm attracted to both men and women, its not about that. I'm just attracted to people. Simple as that.

Or maybe I just really like pans....

Just some thoughts . . . I'm still kind of against identifying with a term like this. Everyone is different, right? These terms are too broad to describe how someone feels.
