Where In The World Is Lindsay Dias?

She's been to the Dominican Republic. She's bought a new Jeep. She's gotten a raise. She's on a new diet. So many things have changed.

But she still loves Mark.

Or does she?

We need her to blog!

Oh yes, this is Mark.

Fire Island

I spent a week on Fire Island. It was my first time on the island. I shared a house with twenty-one people. Does that sound exhausting? It was. It was even more exhausting witnessing a threesome. Yes, if you're gay the majority of sex with happen in a threesome situation. Is it normal? Is it healthy? What is normal? What is healthy? When should the threesome expire? Is one night enough? What about two? Can it go on for five? No, I didn't have a threesome. I really didn't. I'd start laughing. And if one part of the couple wants the threesome to end and the other part wants it to continue is that a sign that maybe the relationship isn't worth it? And should you keep in touch with the guest star after it is over? I'm new to the whole situation. The threesome and the rules and regulations that come with it. I need to be educated. If anyone out there has any opinions please post.

Tired of Sitting

I am tired of sitting. I sit. I sit. And I sit again. Five days a week. For nine hours. I don't why there are so many periods in this paragraph already. My friend Bryan would tell me that this is grammatically incorrect. Lindsay wants to write a book with me. We can't even write a blog. She's written a book before. It's called Amber Shades of Grey. My sister is getting a divorce. She moved out this weekend. She has a small child. It's a hard thing. I go on vacation this friday for a week. I am going to Fire Island. I've never been. It's suppose to be very gay. And then I remind myself I am gay. But will there by any attractive people there?

Bewitching Hour / Wizard of Oz

Okay so my shows went up last weekend (the 21st and 22nd) and I was nervous as all get out! The week before the show was disasterous...the kids were forgetting their lines and stepping on everyone else's lines; the little kids had forgotten the dances; people were not at rehearsals; parents were complaining about the lateness of the rehearsals; the headshots weren't done; the programs weren't done - etc. etc. etc. So needless to say I was freaking out, as was my mom. Then the tech rehearsals were full of glitches and craziness...it was a wonder we were even going to be able to put the show up on that Saturday night and Sunday afternoon! And then the Bewitching Hour rehearsal...the last rehearsal where everyone could make it. Oh sheesh...three of the girls were forgetting their part of the show...and boy was I going nutty. And for that tech rehearsal, we were pushed aside so they could do crew to cue for Wizard of oz...so we had to do tech at 3:30 the DAY OF THE SHOW! Talk about hectic and stressful situations!


So then after our tech on saturday we got ready for the show. We got in our wings and awaited the lights to go up. And when they did, everything went smoothly. Bewitching Hour was amazing...each kid in it performed with all they had and I was so proud! And then on Sunday, it went even better! I couldn't be happier (as Glinda would say). It made my heart swell three sizes. :) I love my kids.


And Wizard of Oz also went so well. They did forget one scene (a different scene each day ha) but other than that everything went great!

Now I can't wait until next year when I take on the insurmountable task of becoming the sole director of the production. We will be doing "Beauty and the Beast" and I am thrilled beyond belief to have the full power, and can do things my way and have full say into what actually happens on stage! GO ME! :)

Flavors of Entaglement

I saw a free concert last night. Alanis Morissette performed for "The Artists Den" in an effort to promote her new album "Flavors of Entaglement" which is released today (June 10).

She looked good. She sounded great. The alcohol was free. I went with my friend Dana. It was a good time.

It could have been cooler inside. And cooler outside. I hate waiting. They made us wait. Nothing ever starts on time, but were waiting in the New York City heat.

But more importantly, her new album is very good. You must buy it (that includes you Lindsay).

I Like To Floss

I am flossing right now. I am at work. If you call what I do work. I'm not flossing at my desk because my friend Amanda tells me that it is not sanitary. So, I've pushed my chair slightly away form desk and I'm flossing. I like to floss. It makes me feel clean and healthy and I get satisfaction when I go to the dentist and he tells me that I've done a good job.

I also have a date after work. I don't know about this. It's a second date. But good oral hygiene is important; especially if you have some oral activity.

I'll let you know how it goes. I know this blog is wildly popular.

Hold up...wait a minute......

Wow it's been a while hasn't it?? Sorry for the wait all you faithful readers. Wait, do we have faithful readers? Do we even have READERS? Well, whatever. Sorry Mark for being so negligent of this amazing blog of ours. It has been a crazy month and I just have no explanation of why I haven't been able to post a blog about my amazing life. I know...it has been lonely and sad but I am writing now and that should cease your worrying and sorrow. So...the reason I haven't written? Is because I've had nothing to say. Nothing important. Nothing pertaining to anything worthwhile of reading. Not that I have anything important or worthwhile to say now, I just felt like expressing myself. Sort of. Eh, who am I kidding? I just felt like spewing my thoughts to the ghosts of bloggers past.

So...I work with children grades 1-8 every year for six months out of the year and it is my favorite thing to do. The kids are amazing and I love every one of them (okay, mostly every one of them). Oh COME ON! I can't like everyone! Don't harrass me now. Next year I have been appointed the official director. The main cheese, the MVD as it were. I don't know how I am going to do it. I have nobody to lean on if I lose my confidence and feel like everything is falling apart. I have to stop treating the kids like friends and become increasingly more strict and force them to listen to me. Oh Boy! How is this ever going to work?! I don't know. I am more nervous than I've ever been in my life. I have this overwhelming feeling that it will all fall to pieces once I take over and not only will the show end in a major failure but the program will die along with it. And if that happens, the parents and the kids will be disappointed and I will be the cause of the downfall of the North Kingstown Drama Program. Now, most people are supportive and tell me that I can do it; my mom for one, and Mrs. O'Brien (a mother of two of the girls in the program). And Leah, who has been in the shows since Sound of Music three years ago. But I've gotten comments from others, not mean or anything or negative comments. Just comments that upset me and make my confidence drop a few notches. Some saying that they'll be sad and angry if my mom doesn't do it. And one about how they want to be a director like my mom. When asked "not like me?" the response was "no, like your mom". I know it wasn't meant meanly or against me in any way, but that's the person I am. I take everything personally and take it to mean that I'm not a good director so I can't do it.

It's not their fault. It's mine. I treat them all like friends and am very bad at disciplining. I don't want them to dislike me, I enjoy that they treat me like a friend - it makes me feel good about myself. Yes, it's sad. It takes 11 year olds treating me like a friend to make me feel all happy. But they're great kids. So How in the world do I do this? Oh life.
