So, I'm forcing myself to grow. I hung out with some friends I haven't hung out in awhile. It was very refreshing to be with them again, but hanging out with them brought back old feelings, unanswered questions, and a slight awkwardness. Because I want things to be somewhat "normal" again, I'm making myself grow: stop getting feelings for high school-ers or those under the age of 18, don't make a mess of the circle, stop being a huge slut, get my work done and just chill.
I'm pretty sure I mentioned this on my last blog post, but I still keep thinking of that guy that moved away. I'm trying to get over him, but I don't know that I can make it go away so easily. Growth is hard, but I don't really expect any less. It just complicates things a little more when I look forward to his visit home in March (I don't know if it already happened, if it's going to happen, if he changed his mind and decided not to come in). Also, I think about the time right before he moved he said he wanted me to visit him. I don't know how to get these things out of my head. I mean what's the reality of us being together when we live across the country from each other. I'm so crazy.
Katie asked me some random questions today that I really couldn't/didn't know how to answer. She asked who was my favorite Broadway performer. If you know me, I love LOTS of performers, but I needed to decide. I told her Sutton Foster with Kerry Butler as a close second. I youtube them looking for new videos almost everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. Yes, I realize this seems a little obsessive. No, I don't think I have a problem, so suck it! She also asked me who my favorite composer is. I had no (and still don't have any) idea(s) who could fight their way to the top of my list. As I am typing this, I'm thinking of other questions like this that I can't really give a definite answer to: favorite movie? favorite food? favorite musical? favorite song? I can't narrow it down to just 1. It's impossible! I mean look at all the videos that I post. I love them all. Then new stuff comes out every day. I hate to repeat myself, but "I can't narrow it down to just 1. It's impossible!"
I think about this all of the time, and I felt the need to do it again. Note to self: do the random fact game. It should be fun.

Since I gave you a bunch of videos last time, I am only going to give you 2 or 3 this time. [It depends on my mood.]
This is Natalie Cortez singing "Nothing" from the revival of A Chorus Line (OBC). The info that youtube gave about the video says this was Natalie's last performance. This is probably one of my favorite songs/scenes from the show because, in addition to singing, it incorporates a great deal of acting and story telling. Such a great talent.
This video is features Brian d'Arcy James (as Shrek) singing "Who I'd Be" from Shrek the Musical. Towards the end of the song, Daniel Breaker (as Donkey) and Sutton Foster (as Princess Fiona [she can barely be seen because of the dark]) join in and create this beautiful, heart-warming trio. This is from the November 15th Broadway preview performance, so this should definitely be part of the final product of the show and seen 8 times a week (probably). This owner of this video doesn't allow for this video to be embedded, so you are just going to have to go to the website HERE or you can click the website link below:
Ok, so I'm feeling giving. This is Carly Jibson singing "I'm Not Pregnant" at Katie Thompson's Birdland in February. Carly has a knack for finding great songs that are extremely funny and fitting for her character-type. It's like the song was written for her. So funny and well-sung!
BAM!!
