Wow. Thanks, hackers!

Holy crap, has a lot of stuff happened since I have been blogless. And now, for your viewing pleasure, a list of stuff that’s happened since then. I would have gone into significantly greater detail, but I don’t have the time (or net access) now to really give these little gems their due.

JOB-RELATED THINGS

1. I got the dream job.

2. I gave my two weeks’ notice.

3. Last Thursday was my LAST DAY AT YE OLDE CHILDREN’S THEATRE!

4. My coworkers took me out for happy hour.

5. I showed up to rehearsal that night drunk.

6. I start work at “the J” on Monday morning.

7. I get to use their weight room, swimming pool, racquetball court, hot tub, and sauna. Free. (Whenever I feel like driving to Mercer Island.)

SHOW-RELATED THINGS

8. Rehearsals for 7 Strangers have been going smashingly well. The show is going to rule so much more than I’d even anticipated would be possible.

9. Amandalee and Corey Q. are our new castmates, and they are fantastic.

10. Everyone who loves me, knows me, or has ever met me needs to go to this show, whether we are currently on speaking terms or not. You owe it to yourself. We run Th-Sat, opening May 1 and closing May 17. Seriously, you have no excuse not to go.

11. Remember the costume I bought for the show last year? It’s been upgraded in a major way. Ask Ida or Pwe about the miniskirt and the fishnets and the boots. As for the crowning glory, I just bought it - a ripped-looking mesh shirt. I will burn your fucking eyes out, and you will love it.

FRIEND-RELATED THINGS

12. Something unfortunate happened a couple of weeks ago. Someone did something they shouldn’t have done. They should have known better. I won’t go into details, because I don’t want to stoop to this person’s level by posting about it online in front of everyone, but needless to say it’s probably for the best that I didn’t have blog access that day. I would have regretted it.

13. I called my friend Max while he was doing his radio show the other day. I haven’t talked to this boy in almost three years. The conversation proceeded as follows:

Me: Hello, is this {College Radio Station Call Letters}?
Mark: Yeah, it is.
Me: Is this Max?
Mark: No, this is Mark. I’ll get him.
(brief pause)
Max: Hello?
Me: Hi. I want to make a request. But first, I need to ask you a very important question.
Max: Okay…
Me: Are you still as hot as you were in 2000?
Max: Um, what?
Me: Are you still as hot as you were in 2000? See, ‘cause here’s the thing. If I’m going to be flying hundreds and hundreds of miles to see you, I want to make damn sure that you’re still as foxy as you used to be. Y’know, that you didn’t get all ugly and gross since then. ‘Cause, I mean, seriously. You were pretty hot.
Max: Who is this?
Me: It’s Freesia, you dork! What’s up?
Max: HOLY FUCKING SHIT! You guys, it’s Freesia! Jesus Christ, hot stuff, how the hell are you?

We proceeded to have a long and ridiculous conversation, none of which (hopefully) made it on the air. He starred in my senior directing project, and he is doing HIS senior directing project the same weekend I am going to be in MN for the wedding. I’m going to get to see Ernie and maybe Sarah and my date to the wedding is going to be Townie and I am so excited about the whole thing that I can hardly stand it. Watch out, Northfield. Mama’s coming home.

14. Sarah Rudinoff’s show at Re-Bar is brilliant. Seriously, go see it. You will hate yourself later if you don’t. While at her opening night party, her mother thought Pwe and I were a couple. Her grandmother loved my fishnets so much that she kept asking me where she could go to get some. I told her that I’d found them at (yes, I admit it) Hot Topic. Grandma says “Well, I’m never going to remember that. How about I write it on my tits? HOT TOPICS. ‘Cause, you know, that’s what they are.”

BODY PART-RELATED THINGS

15. Finally got my tongue pierced. I’ve been wanting to do it for almost six years, but for certain reasons I never did. Now those reasons are out of the picture and it looks hot, if I do say so myself. Ida’s comment was that it was kind of amazing that I’d never had one before.

16. Pants size now half of what it was just over a year ago.

17. Fat Boys are officially in full effect. Hoods up, world. We’re coming for you.

Okay, that’s all I have to say about that. Just for future reference, once I’m at my new job I won’t have net access very much anymore. So, if I’m not posting or responding to emails, it’s not for lack of love. Promise.
