Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

While watching Dancing With the Stars, I have two questions:

1. How can you have Idina Menzel as guest judge, on Broadway night, and not have a single team do a dance to Wicked or Rent?

2. Why is Julianne Hough always yelling?

So I auditioned and got a chorus part in Chris Gosslin's RENT showcase tonight.

*Squee*

I mean, everyone who showed up got in, all he really has to decide is which of the soloists will be doing which solo, but I didn't try out for a solo part, because I can't sing.

But it's RENT.

When someone says, "Do you want to get up on stage and sing songs from RENT?" you just don't say "No, I can't really sing, sorry." You say "YES SIGN ME UP!"

So we'll be singing quite a few songs, but he doesn't know which ones for sure yet except Seasons of Love, of course. I really hope he can get the music for La Vie Boheme cause that'd just be fun.

If anyone's interested the show is May 5th. I have no idea what time, but... ROAD TRIP!

Cause it's RENT!

Ok. Everyone go here http://www.uvm.edu/~bored/ and look at what's happening on Thursday. (That's tomorrow.)

All right, all together now: SQUEE!!!

We buried my grandmother today. And it was hard. But I'm not really upset about that, I'm only upset because my mom cried. And my brother. Those are two people who just do not cry, and so of course watching them I started crying.

But the Shanahans (Mom's maiden name) are a tough bunch. We went to my uncle Michael's last night and they had like 10 bottles of soda on the table in front of practically every kind of alcohol imaginable. That's what the Irish do, you know.

And I came to the realization that all these crazy people are going to come to my wedding, or most of them at least, and I really want to live to see that. And I want to get a video camera and tape them all and show it to my kids and be like: this is aaaallllll in your blood. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I can't imagine not hainvg a huge family, and it's a real shame because they'll probably never be all together again. There's nothing strong enough to unite those seven siblings. No wedding is as powerful as the death of their mother. It really is the end of an era.


In other, less depressing news, I saw RENT with Renee, and it was very very good.

Renee, I love you so much you do not even know. You just make me feel so much that is good. Peaceful.

And, ummm... there was something else... eh, I forget. Well, I'm sorry about the quotes in my buddy profile. I've been sort of slacking on that. I've had a lot on my mind.

And on top of my mental breakdown and the ensuing issues, and then the death of my grandmother, I think I'm getting a cold. Fuck that.
