  I can guarantee all of you that this will be an extremely long post so for anyone not up to the challenge of sifting through my puzzling prose, please accept defeat now and stop reading. Alright, with all the slackers gone I can begin. Thank you so much Jeremy for inviting me to this page and, “Hello to everyone.” I've been reading this page faithfully- well maybe obsessively- everyday for the past 3 weeks now and maybe it won't be so very weird if I can post here as well. Amy- I cannot tell you enough how amazing it was to work with you on stage in KMK. (Kiss Me Kate: I think we should make it into an acronym from now on. Perhaps it will start a trend ands everyone will start to abbreviate everything.
It would really add great efficiency to all our conversations. ) You and so many others in that show [Pam, Erin, Jill, Kristine and ...OMG... definitely Jeremy] have been blessed with a gift for acting, singing and leading others. You really brought a great dynamic to the show and I thank you for all your hard work, even if I didn't aways give 100%, or at times even 77.896%. In regards to the whole “Drama Department Drama” (abbreviated DDD or even D^3 [D to the 3rd]) I think it would clear the air (ELPHABA: And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness, for the things I've done you blame me for. GLINDA (Or the Artist formerly known as Galinda): But then, I guess we know, there's blame to share. BOTH: And none of it seems to matter anymore...) if I just re-posted my note here for closure: “When Jeremy gave me your note, and I saw that the very first line started with “I'm sorry” I knew you had made your decision and I knew that decision did not include me as your date.
After I read the note, I folded it up and put it back into my pocket with a smile on my face. “Why are you smiling?” Jeremy asked me. His confusion was understandable. The girl who told me she was going to Prom with me had decided to go with my best friend instead. “Well” I said “I have two very clear and very different choices: I can choose to mope and sulk or I can choose to be happy because I am able to give my friends Amy and Brian a wonderful gift for Prom; I get to allow them both to have a wonderful time by taking one another. I am so happy for them, and I say to them Congratulations!
I immediately chose to be happy for Amy and Brian, not sorry for myself. What do I have to be sorry for? Amy and Brian are both my friends and I still see them and hang out with them. This isn't the end of the road for us, its merely a pothole made to make us stumble. But we're not going to. Amy, I wish Jeremy was by you, because if he were he could give you a really big "C'mon!
" for me. Goodness gracious girl, why would I be mad at you? I fully support your decision. You need to do what you feel is right, and I hope I don't appear as the type of critical and unforgiving person who would judge you without regard to your feelings. Was I sad because we weren't going to go to Prom together? Yes, I was sad that I wouldn't get the chance to dance with a very good friend of mine.
However, I was never mad. On the contrary, I was happy. I was happy for my friend Amy, who gets to have the Prom of her dreams. Amy is such a great girl and such a great friend, she deserves to have the best Prom possible, even if it isn't with me. So, Amy, are you on my “sh*t list”? Of course not!
First of all I don't even have a “sh*t” list and second of all, you and Brian are both my friends and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time together and I wouldn't want anything less for either of you. Amy and Brian are two extraordinary people. I wish them the best and I hold no grudges. Amy it sounds like you are having a hard time dealing with all of this stress. What kind of a friend would I be if I wasn't there for you? What kind of a man would I be if I didn't treat you with all the love and respect you deserve?
If you would rather be at the Prom with someone else, who am I to stop you? I don't mean that in an apathetic way because Amy, I could never be mad at you. All I have ever wanted was your happiness and I'm glad you found it after all. Thank you for all your hard work in the play. I hope we can still be friends. I really hope so.
I'm sorry if I ever did anything to hurt you. Its me who should apologize, not you sweetie. Please accept my humblest apologies, my thanks and my best regards.” Thank you for allowing me to do that. “Even flowers have their dangers, And though scary is exciting, Nice is different than good. Now I know, don't be scared. Granny is right, just be prepared.” Kacy- Into The Woods was great and you did an amazing job.
You and Nick had a good dynamic and you even had Amy and I singing along during It Takes Two (much to Jeremy's dismay). I'm very happy I got to see it. Pam- I hope the 1 Act goes well for you guys, sorry I won't get to see it I'll be in Munchen (German for Munich). BTW, I heard you were a little peeved at me from that whole thing with the conversation Brian did or didn't have with Yomi that time. I hope you're not still sore about that. It'd make me unhappy if I couldn't throw grapes at you anymore, or miss telling Yomi to “Be Quiet Dammit!” because I was kissing your booboo to make it feel better.
Kristine- Awesome job during the play! I realize all this encouragement comes a little belated but I wasn't in the right frame of mind these past couple of weeks to give it out until now. Like Amy said in her speech, we couldn't have made it through the show without you and I will also be sad when you leave next year. Alas, just think that we may have already had the last of our “Train Talks” during make-up time. How Bittersweet. To My Daughter and My Wife- Jill and Erin, you guys are swell!
Jill, we should get together and watch spice world sometime. Erin, sorry I never answer my phone on the first try, BLAST! I'm shaking my fist at myself. Erin if you hadn't gone to do Tae Bo the other day, you could have joined the family reunion between Me, Mitch and Jill; we played BALL, not just “ball” but BALL which was a blast until Jill and Elyssa started to hog it. Oh well, you guys are great no matter what. And just think Erin, only 6,132 days until we get married!
Jeremy- I guess it was good that we stole that booth at Bennigans because they refused to sit us or give us CrunchLunch, otherwise we wouldn't be such good friends. I'd have a Chicken Club Salad with you anyday, just as long as you don't leave me alone with James and Mrs. Espel again. Thanks for the invite to the blog, besides this we donj't always get to chat, what with General Ledford keeping us SILENT during gym announcements. Great Job in the play you too and by the way, I was being sincere because I know with me you have a hard time telling, just kidding. Isn't it nice to know a lot? And a little bit...not.
