January 7th: Opposite Day
Man... I just got this incredibly random and unprovoked urge to make a livejournal post about my day with LIZZ DESIMONE. Hm.. go figure!
So, today fucking rocked. Woke up at 6:45 and realize that Craig and I were already late to Basking Ridge so we quickly jumped in the car and I drove him to his debate tournament at Ridge High School. I got back and got picked up by LIZZ DESIMONE about five minutes later. We drove to Paramus high school where we had our Regions Choir audition. I thought that mine went really well in all aspects, and if you know how I critique my auditions, ESPECIALLY vocal ones, you know that thats a big deal. Either I'm getting to be a better singer or worse at judging my auditions. Lets hope that its the former.
ANYWAYS
LIZZ DESIMONE and I had a grand time meeting up with Leah from MoCoHoCo and she invited us to her sweet sixteen! That should be a blast. I also bumped into Zac Szoke who I was just mentioning at New Years that I haven't seen in a bajillion years, so that was awesome.
Then LIZZ DESIMONE, her father, her mother, and I drove into the city, where we proceeded to go to Strawberry Fields and St. Patrick's Cathedral, both of which you are apparently supposed to be really quiet in. After some brief shopping to pick up supposed Rent paraphernalia, we moved on. We then went to lunch in a Cuban restaurant where we danced the same dance no matter what song played. Various stories were told over the tardiness of the meal which was quite entertaining as well. LIZZ DESIMONE's parents are really nice and crazy people which makes me like them quite a bit. LIZZ DESIMONE's mom also looks INSANELY like her daughter... almost in a creepy way... but I guess you should expect that from the woman her birthed the girl in question.
After lunch, we headed over to the theater to see Hairspray which was GREAT. I had heard from people that it sucked but I really really disagree. It was a blast, had a few funny lines, a few serious moments, but overall just a great pace and flow. I didn't like how a few songs had two endings which seemed to be purely for more applause, but besides that I really have no complaints. The girl who played Penny was extremely talented and I was really jealous. The show really reminded me why I love theatre, the energy that draws me to the stage. I like getting that feeling and so I like the show even more.
We then all went to Colony, a sheet music store on Broadway and 48th, and it's one of my favorite places in NYC. It was great hanging out in there and especially great having the cashier make fun of LIZZ DESIMONE for her Harry Potter scarf. That really was quite humorous to me. We all then drove home watching Top Gun on a very scratched DVD but still loving it none the less. Who knew a biting sound could be so scary and intimidating?
Overall today fucking rocked.... really an awesome time. I always think that I don't want to be social until I actually do something and then I end up having a great time. Broadway, friendship, laughter, and NYC always make for a great recipe.
Thanks LIZZ DESIMONE for an awesome day.
