So yes... Wicked was amazing!
It was so much more than I could have expected. I had constant chills and my eyes kept tearing up, and I totally cried once or twice. I have no problem admitting it.
Sadly, I had no extra money at all so I couldn’t buy anything after the show, which is really really sad. I was hoping to get the Grimmerie and maybe a shirt or mug. And then there was a cast signed posted that both Cuban and I...

I'm going to see Wicked tonight!
I haven’t been to see a musical or play production in ages. Not to mention it’s my first time seeing Wicked. I’m soooo excited! We’re driving like 45 minutes to Birmingham tonight, getting dinner, and then to the theatre! It shall be wonderful and I shall geek out.

The Onion cracks me up again.
‘completing chapter after chapter, seemingly of his own free will.’
‘It’d be nice to read it again at some point,” Meyer continued, as if that were a perfectly natural thing to say.’
Would be funnier if people I know didn’t treat me like this:
‘Mr. Meyer, unlike most healthy males, looks to books for gratification,” Schulz said. “Really, it’s a...
thepianist86 asked: So, I found your tumblr via HGRB, which I've followed for awhile now. Apparently I don't follow closely, though, because I had not realized there was a hot guy posting there until just recently. All that to say, I'm following you now because I really like what you've posted - both on HGRB and here. Being relatively new and uninitiated to the world and etiquette of Tumblr, I...

I have a job interview at Books-A-Million!
After weeks and weeks of calling back and talking to people and asking about my application. I left my name and number several times, and finally just spoke to a manager myself. The great part is when I spoke to her, she told me they weren’t doing interviews right now. Less than 24 hours later she called back to set one up for me.
…Now I just need to get the job.

Fun movie time!
Well I’ve been home alone like… all day. All alone. It’s weird, but I like the quiet. Except now I’m about to watch this Polish movie I just got. It’s called Suicide Room. Yeah.
I found it because I saw a link on youtube of Polish guys making out, so how could I not watch it? Turned out to be clips from this movie, so I found the trailer. Turns out it’s not gay...
