(via schatar, my new celly cell)

so, this picture is very much how i feel at the moment on the inside.

yeargh.

i have rehearsal tonight for both woods and i wish. i just wanna go home.

and curl up into a ball.

yep.

that’s right bitches, i’m the narrator.

amongst other things, i’ve just turned twenty. yes, twenty, next stop: dead. and, as you can see from the above photograph, i have shaved my hair off again.

change is good.

jeremy got me the moleskine day planner for my birthday.

i love him.

why does everyone elses’ wishes change but that bitch still just wants to go to the festival???

so, last night were callbacks for the f.u.d.g.e. theatre company’s production of into the woods. out of a record 80 auditioners, around 40 were called back, including but not limited to the fabulous shannon rosa, chris smith, ian flynn, ashley fetyko, kacee staiti, kerry farrell, andrew darcey, and myself! and a bunch of other people who don’t really matter. jk! jk! i was called back for the roles of jack, rapunzel’s prince, and narrator/mysterious man.

we sang pieces from the show first, and then read a few sides from the script. i got to sing the ending of “giants in the sky” as well as part of “agony”. they both felt really good. then i got to read the jack/mysterious man “sack of beans” scene, as both jack and the mysterious man. ’twas interesting.

there were so many talented people at callbacks, i’m very anxious to see what the cast list is! no matter who gets what role, this show is guaranteed to be amazing! i’d highly suggest you all come see it. it’ll be sexy.

speaking of sexy, the “i wish…” miscast cabaret fundraiser is almost upon us! it’s sure to be a delightfully irreverent romp through musical theatre! come join us at the regent theatre’s cabaret space in arlington, ma (t accessible) on june 2 at 6 pm. all proceeds are going to benefit our production of into the woods so come out, support a good cause, and be amazingly entertained with rousing, slightly-off renditons of your favorites, from classics to contemporaries. think: dreamgirls, with no black people. seussical, with no elephants. little women, with…no women. it’s going to be amazing.

today, i’m thankful for

1. all of the people i got to see at callbacks last night, and for being called back.
2. one more day until the weekend.
3. closed-toe shoes.
4. the prospect of mary and brian this evening (?)
5. a quiet day in the office.

well kids, it’s official.  i own a business.  and no, fellow members of david kelleher’s digital media class, it’s not being operated out of my dorm room and featuring awful rollover effects produced by a windows version of dreamweaver mx 2004.  it’s an honest to god we have a business certificate and bank account to prove it business.  it’s hot.

too fabulous for words is its name, in case you couldn’t guess from my most recent post.  and yes, that’s another link to it.

so what else is going on?  this weekend i’ll be in the berkshires with jeremy.  that’ll be nice.  norman rockwell, MoCA, a nice little condo, and an amazing man.  i’m amazingly happy with how that sounds.

tonight brings completing the into the woods publicity for the f.u.d.g.e. production.  auditions are next week!  dear sweet jesus, that’s soon.  i need to practice my audition pieces.  the poster is going to be awesometastic, though.  i’m using the witch’s beans as the visual theme.  i’ll post it up here when it’s finished.

i’ve exhausted things to say.  i’m going to go do some real work now.

peace, friends.

so, where the hell have i been lately? things in my life have been so incredibly hectic i have no idea where i stopped blogging about it. hectic usually makes interesting blogs. anyway, let’s recap where i’ve been and talk about some fabulous happenings.

so, let’s begin with the fact that i’ve officially finished my second year here at camp emerson. two more of these to go and they’ll give me a piece of paper that says that i can design websites. it’ll be grand to have slappy hand me that degree on the citi wang theatre’s stage. i’ve decided i’m inviting leslie cormier to my graduation party. we can drink classy drinks and discuss art.

as of this morning, too fabulous for words is officially a business as recognized by the city of boston. we have that piece of paper and everything. jeremy and i went to city hall with our notarized application to establish a partnership and operate under the name “too fabulous for words,” and the nice lady at the city clerk’s office photocopied, folded, and stapled our way into establishment. we even have a tax id number. i’m rather excited. tomorrow we will be opening our too fabulous for words business account at bank of america.

i’m rather frightened of how real this all is. only a couple months ago, too fabulous for words was an idea and a plan to pursue sometime in the future. the future is now and i have a business card. i have an effing business card. i am the lead designer of a real business. i no longer will tell my tourists that i do freelance design work. i will tell them that i founded an actual business. they will be super impressed. and totes jeal.

i’ve also moved into my new apartment in dorchester with the fabulous shannon rosa and ivette rivera. y’all should send me happy things in the mail:

kyle hemingway
6 brinsley street, apartment 1
dorchester, ma 02121

i’ll post pictures sometime soon. it’s really quite a fabulous space. decorated, of course, in the asian style.

the boston pride committee remains well.

auditions for f.u.d.g.e.’s production of into the woods are coming up rather quickly and i’m quite nervous and excited for them. i am very happy but also very nervous to be revisiting this show. but it shall be wonderful.

oh! oh! also, i am going to the berkshires this weekend with jeremy. from friday to sunday, i will officially be on vacation. it will be nice to have a little getaway before the real work schedule for the summer begins. it’s been nice coming in at 11 and leaving at 5. what’s going to happen when i have to be here at 9? eep! whatevs.

i think that’s all i’ve got. i’m going to end it with the five things i’m most thankful for maintenant.

1. jeremy and too fabulous for words being official.
2. my parents for being fabulous lately.
3. my amazing apartment and roomies, most notably the ever-fabulous shannie m. rosa.
4. my paycheck which i deposited this morning.
5. the trip to tarzhay that shannie and i will be making this evening. j’adore le tarzhay.

p.s. go see VACANCY right now. right now. stop reading this and go see it. it is amazing.
