Class of 2013!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
yea we went to this club called duvet. I think it was on sex n the city once (it has beds in it)... and I got to see Wicked! that was lots of fun! I'm jus used to going to waking up at 6am not getting home at 6 lol


Oooh fancy! Sounds like a good time 🙂 I've never seen Wicked but it's also on my To Do list.

I never really had a clubbing phase, per se. It always sounded like a fun thing to do, but every single club experience I've had has been disappointing so far. Maybe if I end up in NYC or Houston next year, I'll enjoy a real clubbing experience. I don't think Mr. Nola's up for clubbing much, but I bet I could convince him. 😉
 
I like to dance so we usually do bars/lounges with good music. Clubs/bars in Boston were a bit easier for me to do because the whole city shuts down by 2am... but in NY thats about the time the party starts to its an adjustment.

Clubs can be fun with good friends. It was f'in freezing tho and most of the girls were half naked with no coats waiting to get inside aka CRAZY
 
Hello everybody!!!
 
Oh I had two amazing highlights to my weekend:

1) fur coats! Sooooo many fur coats everywhere it was hysterical. Even men in full length fur coats. Made my weekend!

2) I wear a promise ring so everyone assumes I'm either married or engaged. This guy in a bar saw my ring and asked me if I was married & how many kids I have & if my husband knew I was wearing that outfit...
 
Oh yeah, I totally forgot to give my audition report (sorry in advance for the super long post)! :laugh:

I think it went really well. I sang "All I Need is the Girl" from Gypsy, which is my typical audition song for any show pre-1960's... there were 4 other guys there singing that song as well, which is fine, it just means that I have to be the one that does it the best. 😉 Anyway, the pianist was actually my drama teacher from when I was a kid, so it was kinda cool to see him again (and he's the music director which is good since I know someone who'll be making decisions) - he actually taught me the song that I used for the audition so that was cool. Anyway, I sang my 32 bars and did pretty well, and then the assistant choreographer was like "awwww, I just want to give you a hug!" and I said, "Ok!" and gave her a hug, which was kinda awkward. I'm guessing my delivery of the song was spot on since the lyrics talk about how I have all my fancy clothes and the "time and the place" but no girl to go with them, and I made her feel sorry for me not having a girl. :laugh:

They asked me to stay and dance, and they wanted us to tap but not in tap shoes (!) because it would have been too loud (the auditions were held in a very small theatre space). That was weird, but I did fine... none of the other guys there were tappers so I definitely had a leg up on them. All in all I think it went pretty well - callbacks will probably be this week or next week, but casting decisions probably won't be announced until March (they're super slow at casting - and rehearsals for this show don't start until May 18th).

Oh yeah, I also asked about the run of the show, and it's definitely going to be ending on August 9, so that shouldn't be a problem! 👍
 
Hey Lyss! How are you today? Sounds like you had yourself a great weekend. Kinda missed you around here!
I missed you more 😍 I didn't have internet i was dying. i tried to go on my phone and see if you posted any news but I couldn't really get it! I sent you a facebook message btw
 
YaY Chad! I hope you get it!
 
YaY Chad! I hope you get it!

Thanks! Even if I don't, I have another option for the summer, and it was a fun audition in and of itself... I have auditioned for summer shows at this theatre every year since I turned 17 (so this would be my 5th year auditioning) and I haven't been cast yet. It would be awesome to make it my last summer of "freedom."
 
i hate blackboard...i have assignments due and blackboard is being queer.

Haha! I love it! I want to see men in fur coats, Lyss 😀

Yeah, I somehow sense that Mr. Nola doesn't dance much. 😛

haha yea you better make that summer count!... and its great that it won't interfere with orientation. I know you were worried about that.

I don't know. I think I might have missed you more!!! Thank you for writing me back. I got it. I greatly appreciate it. I will be looking out for BIG BROWN!!! :laugh:
 
Hey everyone 🙂

Wow Chad, that's cool! Good luck with all that! I feel a little awkward, cuz it seems like everyone around here has some big plans for their last summer before med school; I think I'm honestly just gonna sleep in a lot and hang out with my family, get re-charged and be rested before I jump back into the gauntlet... not as glamorous, but I think I'll enjoy seeing Ms. Spurs (hope it's OK if I borrow that format from you, Ms. Nola 😉)on a regular basis (unlike when we're both in school 😛)
 
Haha! I love it! I want to see men in fur coats, Lyss 😀

Yeah, I somehow sense that Mr. Nola doesn't dance much. 😛
so I met my bf via dancing together (haha it was actually milkshake by kelis - anyone remember that song?). I feel so duped. Somehow from then to now he has lost most of his ability to dance! I didn't sign up for this dang it.

BD2B do you & your wife like to dance?

awww Ms Spurs. I think you should do whatever it is that recharges your battery. It doesn't have to be fancy.

Hey Chad! Congrats on your audition! I will be praying for ya!

BD2B do you & your wife like to dance?

Oh yeah! Me and my gurl, we giggs! :banana::zip::lock: We gets DOWN!!! We just went out last night for one of my co-workers bday.
 
Chad: 2 Questions...
1)Will you be performing any shows in the first week of Feb?

2) Is that you dancing in your avatar?
 
awww Ms Spurs. I think you should do whatever it is that recharges your battery. It doesn't have to be fancy.

ditto! Ideally I'd like to spend my summer in *[insert the city where I decide to go to med school]* getting a feel for my apartment, the city, where I can go shopping, etc. etc.

But it may not work out that way since I'm so late making a decision. 🙁

I guess it all depends.
 
Is it weird for me to say "I like it that my guy doesn't dance."? Cause then I know he's not out dancing with any other chick. 😉

Haha, I doubt there's a "grinding 101" class Mr. Nola can take (if you young people still do that these days). 😛

I see this summer as my last decent stretch of time responsibility free. For all I know I could be married or have kids in the next 5, 10 years or I'll have career worries that will prevent me from doing whatever I want... so I want to do as many things as possible that I will never have the opportunity to do. I'm ThIs close to convincing my bf to go to europe with me. THIS close!

haha I never thought about it like that... maybe thats why he doesn't like me going dancing!
 
Lets cuddle and watch grey's season 1 together

more SDN flirting? and i have seen season 1 way too many times 😉

Haha...🙂 Yeah, but there's so many better things than being young and single (and you are younger than I am!) 😉

I like being old and in a relationship! 😀

What did you guys get up to?

my bf isn't much of a dancer, but he's cool with me going out clubbing which is nice 😛

Oooh fancy! Sounds like a good time 🙂 I've never seen Wicked but it's also on my To Do list.

I never really had a clubbing phase, per se. It always sounded like a fun thing to do, but every single club experience I've had has been disappointing so far. Maybe if I end up in NYC or Houston next year, I'll enjoy a real clubbing experience. I don't think Mr. Nola's up for clubbing much, but I bet I could convince him. 😉

NYC clubbing is pretty different from other places i would assume and it is pretty fun to say the least lol. I once went out for my friend's bday who is a model and it was me and a bunch of models (thankfully i wore reallyyy high shoes and didn't seem too short.. im also 5'7 so they only have a few inches on me) and we just strolled up to the club, the guy lifted the red velvet rope and smiled us in.. we had a VIP section roped off, free champagne and cake (for her bday).. it was pretty outstanding and what a trip! to experience something like that. maybe i should join her more often, but I am not the biggest clubber. I've gone maybe a total of 4-5 times.

I like to dance so we usually do bars/lounges with good music. Clubs/bars in Boston were a bit easier for me to do because the whole city shuts down by 2am... but in NY thats about the time the party starts to its an adjustment.

Clubs can be fun with good friends. It was f'in freezing tho and most of the girls were half naked with no coats waiting to get inside aka CRAZY

haha yup!! whoever is on facebook, i have photos from the above mentioned clubbing experience.

Oh I had two amazing highlights to my weekend:

1) fur coats! Sooooo many fur coats everywhere it was hysterical. Even men in full length fur coats. Made my weekend!

2) I wear a promise ring so everyone assumes I'm either married or engaged. This guy in a bar saw my ring and asked me if I was married & how many kids I have & if my husband knew I was wearing that outfit...

i've always wanted a promise ring..

same here. i think moving will be enough for a summer

so I met my bf via dancing together (haha it was actually milkshake by kelis - anyone remember that song?). I feel so duped. Somehow from then to now he has lost most of his ability to dance! I didn't sign up for this dang it.

BD2B do you & your wife like to dance?

aww.. i didn't know you were married BD2B. what will your wife do next year?
Oh yeah! Me and my gurl, we giggs! We gets DOWN!!! We just went out last night for one of my co-workers bday.
👍

Oooh good luck with that. And good point. I think what I really want to do is stay home, take a cooking class with Mr. Nola, and get in shape for a semester of really hard work.

haha I never thought about it like that... maybe thats why he doesn't like me going dancing!

Haha, I KNOW Mr. Nola wouldn't want me to go dancing and I haven't even brought it up with him. :laugh: I'm not really very good, but I'm not horrible.
 
I never understood promise rings. What are you promising? If it's to get married one day then call it a future engagement ring lol

We have a don't ask, don't tell policy haha. I'm hispanic. Dancing is in the blood.
 
Hey Guys! The football game was pretty exciting, I'm still pumped up.

Yeah, I want to travel this summer as well, need to find someone to go with me first though!
 
aww.. i didn't know you were married BD2B. what will your wife do next year?

I sure am. I will be in DC and she will still be here in LA cuz she will be finishing up her MPH at Charles Drew. After she finishes she will move out to DC, which will be at the end of our first year.
 
i guess i always thought of promise rings as a "i promise to love you and i understand that we are not ready for wahtever reason to get married just yet" lol

and yeah, i totally agreed with you pianola about wanting to take a cooking class. I have been trying to find some options for the summer but they are so expensive!

and bd2b, good luck with everything! it may be more difficult being apart but it sounds like you guys have a plan to make it work. 🙂
 
I plan on traveling the globe and inseminating as many woman as possible....I only want to do my evolutionary duty.

It will be tough but we are some tough SOB's!!! Hahaha! But we also were apart until the day we got married. So we know how to make long distance work, even though we are married now. God is the center of our marriage and He is in control so I am not worried at all. He will take great care of us!

Oh...I thought it actually WAS a promise to get engaged. I guess there's a reason that I don't know this 😉.

Re: the cooking class Hmm...yeah I need to start looking in the Gainesville area and see what we have. My mom has guaranteed there will be nothing good here. But anything I can learn will be better than what I know now (nothing).

Haha, well I hope your little sperm manage to do their evolutionary duty, as well 😉.
 
Hey Chubs, I thought you had a girlfriend?

Have you notified her about your summer plans? :meanie:

2) Is that you dancing in your avatar?

1. Sadly, no. This is a slow period for me (Jan/Feb). The next show I'm in opens in April.

2. Ha ha, nope, although that'd be really cool.

There are a couple of videos (and some audio) of me floating around the net, though.
 
How much do promise rings usually run these days anyways? Ms. Spurs and I are coming up on 4 years in early February... it's times like this I wish I had a job (you know, making money rather than accruing debt) so I could actually get her something NICE. 🙁
 
so I met my bf via dancing together (haha it was actually milkshake by kelis - anyone remember that song?). I feel so duped. Somehow from then to now he has lost most of his ability to dance! I didn't sign up for this dang it.

BD2B do you & your wife like to dance?
👍Quality song 😀
