Today was my 3rd time this week wearing this outfit. Marcus clearly noticed.
"Let me take you shopping" he suggested.
No. "Hell no."
"Sweetie, you need clothes."
I shook my head.
"Sar, let Marcus take you. He's really good at shopping" Mitch encouraged.
"Fine. But I hate shopping"
Mere hours later, Marcus and I were on 5th Avenue.
"I can't do this." I protested "This isn't right for me. Especially not places like these"
He smiled and held my arm tighter "This is perfect for you. You need something as sophisticated and awesome as you"
He pulled me into Sacks and my stomache sank.
The first thing he picked up was this absolutely gorgeous mini-dress. A piece of me wanted it. Like really wanted it. But it wasn't the type of thing I could pull off and my god it was expensive. My eyes widened in shock at that label.
"I can't pay for that!"
He laughed at me "First, you can pay for it. Second, I'll pay."
"I can't..." I tried to protest
"Just try it on. I'll get you some other stuff."
In the dressing room I practically had a panic attack.
"Sarahhhh. Let me see you"
I crept out.
"You look gorgeous."
I shrugged. It didn't feel like me.
"Something's wrong with you." Marcus shook his head and grabbed my wrist. He pulled me in front of the mirror. "Seeee? You look beyond pretty."
I shrugged. "I guess. It's kind of cute. We'll see."
"Well, we're getting it. And I'm going to get you some other things that we'll look this gorgeous on you."

Day 131-1/30/10
Show: Next to Normal
Date: 3/12/10
Cast: Jessica Phillips as Diana
Type: Audio
I have committed to full on love for Jessica's Diana. It's exactly how I feel that works. My problem with Alice is that she plays it crazy, but bipolar depressive isn't crazy. I have manic depressive tendencies so it sort of bothers me the way that Alice plays it. But Jessica played it realistically and sincerely and her voice was pretty much flawless. I really loved it.

Day 130-1/29/10
Seth’s Chatterbox with Krysta Rodriguez and Wesley Taylor: So much cuteness and happiness :D Wesley’s story about the Addams Family Audition was sooo awwwdorable.
Day 129-3/28/10
Show: RSO
So I ripped 36 songs from Ryan Scott Oliver’s youtube cannel which only took, like FOREVER. But the outcome was positive. It’s really nice to have all these awesome songs. I gotta say, I really love Jay’s Song of the Dead Fairy and he and Lindsay singing Make Me Happy. Out of the two versions of Hemming and Hawing I think I like Alex and Natalie more than Alex and Lindsay. Not that Lindsay isn’t awesome, I just like that Natalie’s is a little more mellow-ish. I also fell in love with Jay singing The Seraph. Uch. So beautiful. And To Do. Gosh.

Day 127-3/26/10
Show: Hair
Date: 3/14/10 PI DAYYYY!
Cast: Kyle Riabko, Ace Young, Diana DeGarmo, Annaleigh Ashford, Josh Lamon, Rachel Bay Jones, Briana Carlson Goodman, Jeannette Bayardelle
Still not 100% about this cast. Ace is just not quite fitting. Kyle is pretty decentish. Jeannette was a fierce Dionne. I hardly even missed Sasha. Diana, I was iffy about. Maybe I shouldn’t have listened to this right after Addams Family because I thought Josh’s Maggie sounded like a younger version of Jackie’s Grandma. And omg, Rachel’s Buddhalirama sounded just like Grandma. And I’m still on the fence with Annaleigh. I feel like she’s pushing too hard. Trying to sing Air a little bit like Kacie. My biggest problem was sometimes in Air it didn’t even sound like she was singing, it only sounded like acting.

Day 126-3/25/10
Show: American Idiot
Cast: John Gallagher Jr, Tony Vincent, Matt Caplan, Will Espers, Mary Faber, Rebecca Naomi Jones, et al.
Type: Video
I sort of understood this better seeing it, but I’m not going to lie, I was still kind of confused. But it was fun. I don’t know if it’s just because he wrote on my wall, but I really liked Tony Vincent. And Theo. Whenever I listened to Holiday before I had wondered who had that part and when I saw that it was Theo and that made me happy. Also I had been wondering if Gerard was in the ensemble or if he was just an understudy or something. And then I saw this little spazzy kid run across the stage and my question was answered.

Show: Addams Family
Date: 3/8/10
Type: Audio
I found this really great and funny. Except there were some changes I wasn’t crazy about. I liked Clandango and I missed it. I also missed At Seven. And I wish there was more of the swordfight. Also I missed Wesley’s “Married, yeah, freaking married” But everything else was great. And I love Jackie Hoffman. She is absolutely hilarious. It takes every fiber of my being to not literally laugh out loud during some of her moments.

Show: Kacie Sheik and Caissie Levy at Joe's Pub
Date: Forgot
Cast: Kacie Sheik and Caissie Levy
Type: Audio
I wasn't a fan of all of the songs, but those two have gorgeous voices. I've never realized that Kacie's speaking voice was so pretty. One thing that bothered me was that the person who tracked this titled a song as "Teenage Wasteland." What song is that? I only know a Baba O'Reiley
