As those of you who read my facebook know, myself and some of my coworkers are participating the the Mega March for the Animals on October 4th. Any amount that you can donate will go a long way. You can talk to me or go online to donate. If you go online you can just search for a walker and type in my name "Shila Buchholz"
Thanks for any help you can give.

It's been so long since we've talked.

I haven't posted anything real here in so long! There's been so much going on in my life but I haven't really known what to say.

I'm dating, that's something. I don't think I'm very good at it but it's nice.

Saw Sara, Austin and Lily last weekend, it was so much fun! Sara and I went out to the bar with her friend Amanda, and boy did we have a lot to drink! Amanda and I both got very giggly! Good times. Hope there will be many more like it to come!!

This weekend was a lot of fun too. Friday was the Cheap Trick, Poison, and Def Leppard concert. I agree with Tall Man, I don't care for the fact that Poison didn't headline. I got to here some great songs but their set could have been longer. That aside, the night was just too amazing! We all met up at Bennigan's for dinner before, where we were also supposed to be waiting for Grace's dad to be dropping off a van for us to borrow. We were so silly for falling for that. When we all walked out of the resturant there was a limo waiting to take us to Pine Knob!! It was a great surprise from Grace, I was so taken aback that it took a minute for it to sink in for me that the limo was actually there for us! I had never been in a real limo before so it was very exciting! I was pretty buzzed when we got there! I don't even have the right words for how awesome it was!

High: Limo! Grace rules!!!!
Low: yeah... my own evil thoughts.

For Sara

When I'm back from the road
and you're out on it
And I'm tired of this distance
And I believe it's over, it's over-rated.
And this phone tag game is endless
the novelty is wearing
I'm hoping time will pass
without any assistance
or convincing.

Road rules apply
there's so much action,
you're getting busy.
So I'll call your cellular phone
to tell you TV night was
lonely without you
and so am I...
so am I.

It seems our day keeps falling on a leap year.

So many high points on this last leg.
I can't wait to recount them
it seems like nothing's happened
until I've shared them with you.
And the note that you had called
says you're half a day away
and you are heading home
just in time for me, for me to leave.

Road rules apply
there's so much action
I'm getting busy.
So make sure that I'm up to date
on TV night,
I hate to miss out.

I think I miss you most
on Wednesdays
and Saturdays.

It seems our day keeps falling on a leap year.

poo...

I know it's lame, I really do.... I haven't cried about my cat Baby Bowie dieing in a long time. But today his foster mom (who I adopted him from) came into the store and I ended up having to tell her the whole story. I think I would have been fine if she had not cried. *sigh* I guess there are just some things that never fully get better with time. I know he was just a cat but he was my baby.

Other than that I had a very good day. It's nice getting out of the house on a Saturday and having fun with friends.

High: Going out tonight.
Low: see above.

What kind of magic spell to use?

Tonight I got to go see Labyrinth at the Redford Theatre! I've loved the movie for as long as I can remember but I was too young to go when it was first released so tonight was a huge treat! Labyrinth is the reason that I first fell in love with David Bowie, that movie was just a basic part of my childhood. I remember actually being afraid of the Chilly Down group I was so little when I first saw it.
When Tall Man and I got in the theatre a woman who worked there asked me if I had seen the movie before. I replied "like 100 times" as Brian said "well, she owns it". She informed me that they wanted audience participation for the scene in the bog of eternal stench (I don't know how to explain this if you've never seen the movie...) and gave me a whoopee cushion. I used it at the proper time along with half the theatre which made many people giggle. It was great fun. Then Brian decided that it would be funny to set it off during a sort of serious scene. When he did the girl behind us lost it and couldn't stop laughing. Good times! It was really fun to hear the audience applaud when David Bowie's name came up on the screen.

I also saw The Hangover this week. It was hysterical and I recommend it to anyone who likes that kind of goofy humor.

High: BOWIE!
Low: Wings... I hated those stupid reports who interviews Chris Osgood.

Welcome to the world Miss Lily

For those of you who don't know, my best friend Sara had her baby, Lily, this past Wednesday night. I drove out with Brian to visit her in the hospital on Saturday. Lily is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. I can't even put into words how hard I fell for that little girl. I was nervous to hold her at first, she's so darn tiny, but once I was holding her it was just magic. She's amazing. I'm so happy for Sara and Austin! Thanks to the Tall Man, I hate driving all that way by myself, it was nice to have company.

Sunday night was a ppv. We've only missed one but it felt like it's been forever since Brian and I have been to one. It was a fun night, which oddly enough ended up just being the two of us even though we had originally planed on having at least three other people with us. We were both tired, and at one point Brian closed his eyes and told me to let him know who won in the match between Jeff Hardy and Edge. I leaned in and whispered "C.M. Punk". I was just kidding but after the match ended C.M. Punk's music hit and he cashed in his money in the bank case and took the belt from Jeff, awesome!!! I never manage to predict stuff like that! Sorry if the only people who got that were Sam and Grace....

New song, same rules as always:
"Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief"

High: LILY!
Low: Ear ache.

I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me, so I can say this is the way that I used to be...

I haven’t updated in a long time, and I believe that a big part of that is because I haven’t really shared something important that has been going on with me. I’m going to put it in an LJ cut because, well, I’d prefer people to have the option to not learn about it if they’d rather not know.

light problems + Adam = happy dance (?)

I SAW ADAM PASCAL LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so nervous walking into the theatre. Sam and I checked our programs for an understudy sheet, which there was none. Then I waited, squirming in my seat and playing with my necklace until the usual announcement began. I held my breath as the voice spoke through the speakers into the theatre. “Please turn off all cell phones, no recording devices…” and so on. I held my breath waiting to here “And in tonight’s performance the role of Roger Davis will be played by…” but it never came. The seats I got were four rows from the stage and in the dead center of the house so as Adam Pascal walked out I could tell it was him, blond hair and all (movie mullett, just say no). It was hard to take my eyes off of him, I had waited so long to see him perform live! The show was amazing, making me cry several times, during One Song Glory, What You Own, and Your Eyes. Like Kelley had said before, Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp ARE Rent! And Sam and I got a special treat that, according to Anthony Rapp, had never happened before, they had to pause the show. During the first big number Rent, the spot took it’s sweet time turning on to give the character Mark light to sing in, then was slow to switch to Roger. After the song was over the announcers voice came on again to tell us there was a lighting problem (really??? Ha!) and that the show would start again soon. Adam Pascal then stood up from the table he was sitting on, danced a jig then left the stage. The actor who plays Angel was already up on the “Christmas tree” to start You Okay Honey and we were close enough to the stage to hear him laugh and say “Well, I’m not getting back down!” Adam then called out, “Well, I’ll stay out there with you!” and ran back to sit on his table. It was so much fun to see them interacting out of character… but if Professor Hartman asks I thought they were very unprofessional, lol!
After the show, like many other fans, Sam and I headed to the stage door to try and get autographs. We met Anthony Rapp, and spoke to him!!!!!! Sam told him we had seen the show in Detroit too and how much we loved him. He said thanks and made a crack about how we had missed Adam then the first time we saw the show. I said that that was part of the reason we were seeing the show again. We didn’t have time to take pics with him but I got a couple good shots while he was with other fans. Adam Pascal didn’t sign autographs but that’s fine. I have a small fear he might not be as nice to the Rent fans as Anthony and I’d rather still like him from afar. *squee* I’ve seen Adam Pascal sing live, it was amazing.

There is much more to the Chicago trip than this but I think I should maybe make it a separate entry.

High: ADAM PASCAL
Low: There isn’t one that I can see!!!!!!

happy fan girl!!

I got my new car. She's a 2006 Saturn Ion and she's beautiful! I'm calling her Serenity cause that's how I roll, LOL. Leaving for Chicago tomorrow morning with Sam and Stephanie, very exciting times!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New song, no cheating. Also, the version I'm listening to is a remake, so bonus point for guessing right on the remake:

"Just like a paperback novel
The kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you wont read that book again
Because the endings just too hard to take"

High: New car!!!!
Low: An actor who I loved on Angel, Andy Hallett passed away at the age of 33. For those who don't know, Andy played Lorn, a green empath demon who ran a karaoke bar and would tell you about your future after hearing you sing. Much tears for a funny actor with a great singing voice. My fandom lost a good actor who should have been better known.

We closed already!!??!!

It has been way too long since I’ve posted on here. I had every intention of posting after opening weekend but I ended up getting very sick early Wednesday morning. I spent most of that day and Thursday in bed sick then Brian came over Thursday night and brought me something to help settle my stomach.

The first two weekends of the show did go very well, despite being tired from work. It always makes such a difference when there is an audience. Even for me sitting on the side of the stage, it makes all the hard work put into the show worth it when you can tell the audience is really into the show and enjoying themselves.

Last Sunday was pretty nice. I had been having a hard time at work, with my not being a morning person and having to be there at 8 am. So, when I was hanging out with the Tall Man Sunday night he says to me that we have to leave to go to Target at 7:30, explaining that he wanted to have time to spend there and still get back on time for Rock Of Love Bus. I didn’t thing too much of it and just bought his logic. But once we were out he ended up pulling into the AMC 20 parking lot. I asked him what was going on and he says, “I promised my friend John Cena that we’d meet him here.” He had checked show times earlier and surprised me with Cena’s new movie 12 Rounds. It was better than the Marine and helped cheer me up!

Closing weekend was so much fun! People already read about mine and Grace’s failed prank on video night… it would have been freakin awesome if the prop girl had any amount of smoothness at all, poo.
After the last show I stage managed where I only had one other tech person working with me (I miss Joey *sniff*) it was a much different experience having 6 other people with tech jobs in the show. It was a lot of fun working with Grace, and Todd was really nice and put up my head set every night, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say about the tech crew. I really like Rachel who did makeup and at least the makeup girls pretty much kept to themselves but the prop girls…. They really loved to talk and didn’t see a reason to follow a script or check the lists they made about what came on and off stage between the acts. Grace could see things they missed every night. It made me long for the days of Marat/Sade when I was the stage hand, although it might have been hard to change the set and call cues, ha!

Scott and Sabrina threw a great cast party. I was dead tired and still wish I had talked to more of the people there, especially people like Rebecca who we never really get to see. But it was great to sit and talk, laugh with Brenda.

I am not looking forward to the first Tuesday that I’m not busy and it really hits me that the show is over. I always feel a little empty when a show ends. Miss the theatre already.

So, I have actually been keeping track of who’s guessed what on my LJ song game. The highest scorers so far are: Richard and Brian w/5 songs, Grace and Sam w/4 songs and Stephanie w/3 ½ songs.
( full rundown in the cut... )

LEAVING FOR CHICAGO AND RENT PART 2 ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!

High: So, I may have new wheels on Monday. Please keep your fingers crossed for me, it would be great to drive a car that doesn’t stall when it rains… and isn’t rusting out.
Low: Losing 2 days off to food poising is never ever fun.

"So I own not a notion I escape an ape content I don't own emotion- I rent."

Dog show: I went to the DKC dog show last Sunday with my mom and had a blast. I've always had to work in the past so this was my first one. Got to see a lot of beautiful dogs, like the adorable C. Corgi Reggie. I spent a lot of money and got new guard combs, a new blade and a amazing new pair of thinning shears. :-)

My B-day (reviewed): So much fun. Started the day off with the Tall Man. He got me the Undertaker DVD's (lol, wrestling stuff), a bottle of wine and he actually found me a card with a Corgi on the font, it was so cute. We went to the movies and he very nicely let me pick a chick flick, Confessions of a Shopaholic. We had dinner at Noodles and Co. after then headed out for some extra karaoke. I had way too much fun singing RENT songs with Sam and David Bowie with Brian. Horace sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow to me and made me cry. My gifts were pretty kick ass this year too. I'm already enjoying the short ghost stories from Grace and plan on saving the gift card from her for the new Chuck book due out in May. Sam made me a framed collage that you just have to see to get how amazing it is. I must say now that I have my theatre friends, getting older is actually injoyable.

Watchmen: WTF????? I still don't even know if I want to tell my co-workers to see it or not. I think I liked it...

The joys of zombie killin: I just got the game Dead Rising: Chop Tell You Drop and it is too much fun. It has helped me to again appreciate the many ways to kill off a zombie, like mowing them over with a lawn mower or spinning them around with a weedwacker ( I actually did this right after talking to to you Tall Man and thought, or that's what he saw in the preview).

Castle: Nathan Fillion is hot. The end.

New song, same rules:

"Drive you crazy, really lazy, eye rollin', funky strollin', ball playin'
Hip swayin', trouble makin', booty shakin', tripping, passing, jumping
Bouncing, drivin', stylin', creeping, pouncing, shoutin', screamin'
Double dealin', rockin', rollin', and a reelin'
With the mackin' sex appealin'.
Can you dig our groovy feelin'?

So when things get too tough (get too tough)
And your chin is dragging on the ground (dragging on the ground)
And even down looks up (down looks up)
Bad luck heh heh,
We can show you a good time (show you a good time)
And we don't charge nothin' (nothin' at all)
Just strut your nasty stuff,
Wiggle in the middle yeh
Get the town talkin', fire gang"

High: Things going really well at work. Also taking steps foward.
Low: Bad dreams.

"And they said you were stage managing or something."

Deadly Nightcap: Very excited about the play, so happy that I can work on it this semester. Congrats to Grace for landing the sound job. It'll be fun working together, at least we show that a girl can stay focused on the job.

RENT: Sam and I went to see RENT last Friday with her friend Melissa. We had a lot of fun and it was beyond amazing getting to see Anthony Rapp playing Mark. He was the first Mark ever and will always be the real Mark to me. We also saw what I thought was the best Roger I've ever seen, and his character is the one I'm most picky about. Although I ended up liking the guy who played Roger, it wasn't a perfect night. We were supposed to see Adam Pascal but he was hurt and couldn't make the Detroit run. I knew about this and had made peace witht the fact that I wouldn't be seeing Adam AGAIN, but apparently no one told the guy who was sitting behind me. I was sitting forward a little looking at the set when I heard "SHIT" and felt something hit the back of my seat. The man behind me had just seen the understudy list and hit the back of my seat with his program. I turned around and he applogized right away. I told him it was okay and that I felt his pain. Hopefully Sam and I will be seeing the complete cast soon (April 7th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Oscars: I was very happy with the turn out I had for my Oscar party. It was a tight fit having 10 people in my living room but it was a blast. Sam came early so I could finally show her the NPH epsiode of SNL. Thanks to everyone who could make it, the Oscars are less fun without friends.

My B-day: I would have written something about this sooner but I wasn't sure if we would have this coming week off from the show. We do have it off so it had been decided. Whoever can make it, meet up at Frankies for some extra karaoke this week on Wednesday the 4th of March. It starts at 9pm so since Tall Man and I don't know the whole set up there we figured people could show up around 8:30ish. Hope everyone can make it!!!
Just in case you don't know where it is here's the address:
31268 Ford Rd
Garden City, MI 48135

New song:
"I think I should be laughing
but I forget, forget how to begin.
I'm feeling something inside and yet I still can't deside
if I should hide or make a wide open grin.
Last week I wanted just to dissapear.
My life was dust but now...."

Oscar night

My house, it'll be fun! People can show up anytime after 6pm. I can get pizza or something. Stephanie and I are trying to figure out what this years "special snack" will be. Last year we had milkshakes for Daniel Day-Lewis so I'm open for suggestions for this year. If you need directions just e-mail me for them at S_M_Buchholz@yahoo.com.

Seeing RENT with Anthony Rapp this freakin Friday!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, new song. This one is a hit right now that's stuck in my head so it'll be fun to see who gets to it now.
No cheating:

"A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame"

High: Being named stage manager. I'm so happy to be able to work on the show this time.
Low: No Adam for me again. :-(
