| It's time for a new start. I don't want to lose the past. So I'll keep this one alive for a while. But please find username: lukaili. That's where I am now. That's where the new start is! www.xanga.com/lukaili See you there! | | |
| Though I have to say, I wish I wasn't. It's back to the same old, same old. My dad's a bitter old man, my mom follows along with everything he says, and they join together to blame me for things I couldn't possibly have control over - as I do not live in their house. They are incredibly mean, unhappy people. And I swear it's not my fault that they're unhappy, and I know their unhappiness must terrify them and that must be why they blame me for their misery whenever I'm home, but I swear that I can't control it all the time. It makes me want to leave. Then I remember where I'm going when I do leave. And I feel like I have nowhere to go. I almost want to revise my graduate school decision. Because graduate school means more years on their insurance, more years "under" them... And I just want to be done. I miss Nick and I miss London. I want to go back where the city around me is alive, the people have accents, and the person who loves me is only a phone call and a bus/train ride away. Overall... A very unhappy lady today, I must say. | | |
| We just did a show at the Globe Theatre. Seriously. Shakespeare's Globe. It was so amazing. I just kind of smile, now, knowing that I've done that. Been on the stage. Kathleen took pictures, which I can't wait to steal from her. I will reflect later. For now, it is time to take a quick bath, change my clothes, and go spend some more time with my incredible boyfriend in this incredible city. It's getting closer and closer to being over. | | |
| Sometimes I think about going home, and my stomach hurts. | | |
| I don't think I like Idina Menzel any more. Reason number one:
Saw her in Wicked. Thought she was just so-so. I actually started crying when she came out, just because I was so excited. I remember saying, "Oh holy shit there she is," when she walked on, much to my later chagrin, because aren't I the one who always preaches about how "Everyone's the same they're just people for crying out loud"? Not so long afterwards, though, I remember thinking how completely average her performance was. Sure, they were in previews, so she could have just not been giving 100%. But that makes me respect her less, not more. I loved Ana Gasteyer in that role. LOVED. Idina Menzel = just so-so. Reason number two:
Had an interesting conversation with my vocal coach, who told me that people backstage are not-so-fond of our American Broadway princess. She's an utter diva and terrible to work with... Or so I hear. They blame it on the way we Americans treat our Broadway stars. They don't really like her and they're looking forward to shipping her back to America. She's talented, but not in the blow-me-away, I've-seen-it-all-and-can-die-now way that so many see. She's certainly not irreplaceable. So boo. If you want someone to cast a spell, pick Alan Cummings. I'd even pay to see him play Elphaba. | | |
