theatrical_muse. Topic 394. Talk about your favorite vacation.
Can I say Philadelphia? Is that cheating? I mean, it's not really a vacation, because I used to live there ( Read more... ) -
theatrical_muse. Topic 391. It's late at night. The phone rings.
It's late at night. The phone rings. Who is it and what do they want?I'm used to the phone ringing late at night. When you work for the LAPD, even if you're technically still an intern for a decade (I know, I know), that happens. Problems don't only happen during business hours ( Read more... ) -
theatrical_muse. Topic 384. Stranger.
Stranger.I probably shouldn't even be talking about this. I feel really petty even bringing it up, you know? But ever since she met Jason, Tara and I have been feeling kinda like strangers. Not that she means it, or that I mean it, but she has her boyfriend now and she doesn't need me as much. And I don't really know what to do about that ( Read more... ) -
theatrical_muse. Prompt 356. Have you ever been persecuted?
First of all, I feel like I owe everyone an apology, because I haven't been around when I should've been. For awhile. Let's just say that late 2009 and parts of 2010 have been pretty weird and busy for me. Anyway, I'm going to try and give this thing another go ( Read more... ) -

Uh, that's like all of them. Seriously. Dinner in my family is an experience. There's always a story to tell, whether it's something that happened at the restaurant, or something that I did at work. It only gets weirder if any of my friends have been invited over. Brendan is never short of some weird story to tell, usually of his own making ( Read more... ) -
theatrical_muse. Prompt 306. How far would you be willing to go to prove a point?
I suppose that depends on the point. I mean, are we really going to have a massive argument over something trivial like what's the best Halloween candy? (It's Butterfingers, by the way. Totally.) But if you're arguing something important, like something you really believe in? I could see being willing to go pretty far to stand up for myself or ( Read more... ) -
theatrical_muse. Prompt 303. Collection(s).
Oh, I'm a collector. I perpetually fear fire season in California because I know if it ever came near my apartment, I would not have the time to save everything. But whether it's my stack of books (yes, I am an avid reader, which shouldn't surprise anyone who really knows me), or my collection of Styx memorabilia (and yes, I did just buy the new ( Read more... ) -
theatrical_muse. Prompt 299. Madness?
Apparently, I have a look ( Read more... ) -
theatrical_muse. Prompt 295. Talk about the weather.
I saw this question, and all I could think about was that Lewis Black joke, from his first special in the 90's. He's discussing his last trip to Boston, and goes off on a tangent about the weather. He insists that being a weatherman in San Diego is the easiest job ever created:
"How's the weather out there, Lew?"
"...Nice." [awkward pause] "Back ( Read more... )
