Wow… It’s Been A While!
I’ve been a little busy… at times. So let me see what I remember about the past 2 months…
Valentine’s Day, my first with Jason. Didn’t go at all how I had wanted it to. Brian ended up having my car till around 6pm, and I wasn’t at all happy about that. When he finally got home I went over to Jason’s house though I was already all upset cause I couldn’t do what I really wanted to do. I really wanted to go to Colorado Fondue Company, but I didn’t make reservations cause every time I would start to talk to Jason about Valentine’s Day he kept saying don’t worry, you worry to much, everything is going to be fine. So I kept thinking he was going to surprise me or something, but no. I had 3 presents for him, a box of chocolates that he said he liked, a little stuffed puppy that I named Fluffy, and I made 3 little heart shaped cakes that I wrote I love you on. And I made him a card. I was all excited about that. Well, I got to his house and his present to me was a brown paper lunch bag with my name on it with Winnie the Pooh cards, mini Three Musketeer bars, and 2 drawings he made. He said he wanted it to be like when we were in school and we had to do that. It was sweet, but I’ve waited so long to finally have a Valentine that I wasn’t very happy about his present. And then to make my night even more upsetting to me, we ended up eating at Burger King and I paid for us. I don’t even eat there. And I was getting upset as well when he kept saying, it’s just another day I don’t understand why people make such a big deal about it. Well, cause every other guy I’ve been with never even bothered doing anything for me for anything and I was finally with a guy who would. And I was just sad.
This year was a leap year. And with that came one of my brother’s latest performance art pieces. “Leap Year Day.” He leaped off of a ladder outside of Orlando City Hall for the entire 24 hours of leap day. Every 3:56 seconds he leaped into a giant air bag. There were so many people would saw him, and he was even letting people leap off the ladder between his leaps. I was too chicken, I got up to the top of the ladder and freaked out about how high it was. Jason leaped and he was so excited too, I took pictures of him. Brian made so much press that day locally, nationally, and even internationally. In fact the following day, he made it onto the front page of The Orlando Sentinel. Wow.
I started rehearsals for ‘Doubt’. My Equity Stage Management debut the first week of March. The cast is amazing. And I was a bit confused as to why I had no ASM, it just meant I had to do more work. But everything came together oh so well. Jason came to see our final dress rehearsal and he said he really liked it. Yay! We had a very good audience on opening night and the reviews so far have been great. Hopefully our last two weeks of the show will have better size audiences.
I’m going on a cruise! Finally!!!!! I’ve never been on one before and all it took was Jason’s mom telling him, we’re going on a cruise in August. Wow… and I’ve been trying for almost a year to go on any vacation with him and he kept saying he needed to work. Yet he listens to his mom. Well, we are going to the Bahamas. I applied for my passport last week. Jason still needs to apply for his, I keep telling him. My only problem is money. It’s $400, and I don’t have it. I also owe $400 by August to Equity. I’ve been trying to get a job, but I never have any luck. So I’m a little scared now, but I really want to go on the cruise! I will finally get to be with Jason all night without him leaving me for work. For four days! I went with my mom and I got a new bathing suit. I’m all ready for this cruse minus not having the money to go yet. Oy!
Continuing on with Brian’s performance art, he planned a pillow fight at Lake Eola on World Pillow Fight Day. I never heard of such a thing, but he found out about it the day before and like that he had the press all over it a day before. There were so many people who showed up to participate in this huge pillow fight. There were pillows flying everywhere! But it was fun.
Jason and I will be together a year April 13th. Yay! I don’t know what we’re doing yet, I keep hinting to him of course about Colorado Fondue. Like always he says he knows what I want. I have my last show of ‘Doubt’ that afternoon. I’m hoping I won’t have to stay too long after the show for strike. I already talked to Jim about that, and he said I shouldn’t have to stay. I really wanted to go on a vacation, but since we’re going on the cruise now in August, I don’t think we can do that. And I have no money. And I know I’ll be sad when he leaves me that night for work, cause I’ll want him all to myself. I’m not selfish, I’ve just been with him a year and have never had a day where he hasn’t left me for work. People never seem to really understand that he works every single day of the year. And since he works nights, he sleeps all day. I totally can’t wait for this cruse. Actually I convinced him to take one day off from work so we can go to Ft. Lauderdale next month for my grandpa’s birthday and then he can meet him. And we’ll also visit his grandparents who live down there too.
Ok, well that has been my update of what I can remember. I just didn’t want this diary to get deleted. I have to much stuff on it. Oh, and Brian’s birthday was yesterday. Not that it matters, I didn’t even get to see him since he didn’t want to do anything with my parents or I.
Ok, well now that this won’t be deleted I’m happy! And Yay for 11 days till one year with Jason! Actually to be more technical one week (7 days) till we first met and went on our first date!
Love,
