Weird Little Factoids

Speech &
Debate

— Above is a link to the new show I saw last night, Speech & Debate. It was brilliant, funny and cute. The cast is so young and talented, which makes me jealous. Sarah Steele stole the show and if you were ever the weird kid in your high school, you will love at least one of the characters. All the tickets are only 20 dollars! Lastly, Gideon Glick is kind of cute. Will not admit to that celebrity crush.

— Today, while I was at the gym I started listening to Passion by Sondheim. This is one of his lesser known shows despite the fact it was the Tony in 1994. I was unwillingly taken back to when I was in 8th grade and when I had my first gay crush. I didn't realize it was that at the time though, I just wanted to be his friend...and suck his dick.

In actuality I was crushing on three guys at the time. We were all friends and I was attracted to all three. I don't often create these torrid affairs, but when I do I have a tendency to make them complicated. They were my first male friends in like forever, I kid you not. So when I found myself sexually attracted to them, I mistook it as friendship. They loved me, thought I was the funniest person in the world. Before I left high school, 2 or the 3 still spoke highly of me. The third became a douche bag.

Moving along though, I remember after this "Friend" stopped talking to me I was lost. I would ride on my bike for hours re-listening to "I Wish I Could Forget You." Which is Donna Murphy's sensational end of Act I number. I won't have a thing said against Ms. Murphy ever. Seriously, I was 14 then? What other 14-year-olds listened to Passion? Let alone while they were going through their first gay heartbreak? Wait, in this day and age, I may actually have a few people who could agree?

Every musical has it's memory connected to me.

Lastly, did no one watch this?! No one has anything to say about it?!
