Legally Pink

Just got back from the Betty Comden Memorial. Waited outside 2 hours and it was totally worth it. Here's some memorable songs that some of the divas performed:

Beth Leavel, Karen Ziemba and Stephanie J. Block — New York, New York from On The Town
Lucie Arnaz — 100 Easy Ways to Lose a Man from Wonderful Town
Christine Ebersole — Our Private World from The 20th Century
Phyllis Newman — A Shoo-In from Subways are for Sleeping (she won her Tony in that role)
Judith Blazer and Mary Testa — Ohio from Wonderful Town
Carolee Carmello — I'm Going Back from Bells Are Ringing (my favorite performance in it all)
Ann Hampton Callaway and Liz Callaway — Neverland from Peter Pan
Lillias White — I Can Cook Too! from On The Town (She was a hot mess! Broken leg, funny green sequin hat and reading the lyrics off some paper)
Leslie Uggams — My Own Morning from Hallelujah, Baby! (Her Tony Award too)
Elaine Stritch — Some song from a movie they did Lyrics too (haha!)
Lypsinka — A BRILLIANT act while syncing to another song from the movie Stritch sang from
Barbara Cook — Some Other Time from On The Town (SHE SANG THIS TO AN ENTIRE HOUSE WITH NO MIC! It was unbelievable!)


Now onto Part two of today...Legally Blonde! I feel so gay...wanna know why...here's why:



It's not permanent don't worry. I just figured it's a rare occasion, might as well go a little out. I'm gonna feel like such a weirdo riding on the subway, but alas we do what we must do...

How did we come to this?

Some bad things have happened today, things that are pushing my toward tears. For example:

I'm meeting my ex (who I am friends with and is coming to the show with me) boyfriend's new boyfriend who he has gotten very serious with and blah blah blah. It's not that I'm jealous, hardly jealous. From the way he describes him, the new guy has the same hobbies as me. That's normal, but I then wonder what I've done wrong to not merit the attention. Does that make sense? I know it's nothing I've done WRONG per say, but it brings me close to tears when I think about it. I don't know why.

Another issue BIGGER that's bringing me close to tears and might just do it is that my mom called me today and informed me that my parent's health insurance no longer covers me. I've been on it since I'm still in school. Well, apparently my dad intelligently took a new health insurance that doesn't offer a Student Rider. Meaning if your child is in school and they have proof they are included. Nope. He didn't.

Since I'm now 22 that means I don't count as a child in general. So I'm currently without health insurance. Here's the REAL kicker and the reason I may cry. It may be the sole reason I can't go to China with my school. I'm going to write an email after this entry to the people asking what I should do. I need a photocopy of my health insurance card for the application. Even if I get it, the card won't be here by October 12th.

I refuse to cry now, but I may be shortly. I don't believe that it's over so quickly. Before it even began. My throat is closing up...I have to go.
