I started writing this blog at the time that I should have been ready backstage, hearing the starting music of 9 to 5 and pumping myself up for a great show.
Only there are no more shows! And it’s depressing!
This is where I’m going to divulge all the feelings at you because I can. This is my blog, thus I can do what I please. Deal with it.
“… and it seemed like your whole life existed between the hours of 9 to 5…”
I’m in the lull. The “5 to 9” part of my day in the context of being between shows. I’m eager to get into the next production, but also heavily reminiscing over my last show. I teared up several times over the past 48 hours, mostly when songs from the show came on my shuffle. Happy it happened. Bummed that it’s over. Sad that I don’t get to see my new favorite people as often as we used to. Heartbroken that I won’t be performing 9 to 5 again… unless I happen to do another production down the road. Thrilled and grateful that I had the opportunity to perform a dream role and in an awesome show with an even better cast.
And I’ll be honest… I haven’t washed out my Dolly curls yet. Yes, I’ve showered, but… I’m not ready to give up all the Dolly like that!
A little Cowgirl’s Revenge…
Closing night was Saturday. It’s been two days and I miss my 9 to 5 family like crazy. It’s different when you have a three-day break between shows than when it’s because the show has actually ended. I don’t know when I will next see the amazing, kind, hilarious and talented people that I’ve spent a majority of my time with during the past three months. I’m addicted to them, addicted to their energy. The withdrawal symptoms are pretty crippling. Seeing all of their posts on Facebook is completely ruining me. I need a frickin’ bucket for all the tears they are all causing me to cry.
En francais
I’ll be thinking of you.
En francais.
I will always love you.
Au revoir.
It was because of those people that 9 to 5 was one of the most rewarding and positive theatre experiences that I’ve ever had. Yep, there were a couple dramatic moments, but then we addressed them and moved on. Because of that, I feel like we developed even stronger bonds.
I made some wonderful friends, pretended to date the director for a night as a joke, had some thrills and spills at the theatre, had an amazing double who provided much help, love and giggles, and busted a gut on multiple occasions at Village Inn. We better hang out again really soon or I might slap someone.
Or eat all the pizza alone. Whichever comes first. *orders Papa Johns*
Tanya Rasmussen as Judy, Chrisanne Greer-Sueltz as Violet in our drunk scene.
Oh, then I was able to be on stage. A high all on its own. Best thing ever in my world. Performing is amazing! The effect that Celine Dion and Lea Solanga had on me I hope to spread to more people. By the fact that a few people approached me applauding my performance and the little 4-year-old who came and hugged my legs then bolted away before I could say hi, I think I delivered. It’s been amazing. That’s all that can be said really.
Doralee has been an absolute dream role to play. Amazing songs, some sass, some anger and a couple great one liners.
“I say we hire a couple of wranglers to beat the shit outta him!”
“If you say one more thing about me, I’ll go get that gun of mine and I’ll change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot!”
Matt Green as Mr. Franklin Hart during my threat to castrate him.
Yep. Best role ever.
I’M GOING TO MISS ALL OF THIS SO MUCH.
So what do I do?
I audition for new shows immediately. Anything to shrink this 5 to 9 lull. To make the heartache and missing the stage stop. The same day as closing night, I auditioned for Into the Woods at Centerpoint and I got a callback. If I don’t get cast in that, then Jekyll & Hyde at the Empress is next on my list. And I still intend on auditioning for A Christmas Carol at Hale. I will perform there if it’s the last thing I do!
Okay, I will stop being dramatic. Okay, maybe not. I’ll go eat my pizza and watch Into the Woods in solitude while I recover. And think about all the wonderful 9 to 5 memories for the rest of my days! Until I get back to the stage and a new “9 to 5”.
Mon amour, je t’adore
Cinq a neuf…

This may be the shortest Saying Saturday ever… my attention span has both increased and decreased with my insane work schedule. Able to focus for long periods of time, but when I’m not required to focus, I might as well be watching clouds because my brain is just not willing to remember witty sayings as much any more. Hopefully this will change since I always enjoy saying Saturdays and such.
Without further ado… I present the 29th edition of Saying Saturday. Remember if you’ve missed previous Saying Saturdays and wish to see them, go here!
Talking about seeing Zorro with one of my bosses…
Boss: There comes a point in a musical when I think, “Just stop singing and fight! Let’s get this over with!”
Me: That makes my heart hurt.

Post-shopping spree …
Shea: So I got my new sweet camera today and haven’t had a chance to use it yet, you got new clothes, and we see each other tomorrow. See where I’m going with this?

Behind the scenes at ABC 4 studios…
Brent: Give me Diet Coke.
Me: Not until they change it! (I meant make it healthier… was a news story that day)
Brent: Don’t make me hurt you.
Me: You wouldn’t hurt me.
Brent: If you became me and my Diet Coke, I would. It’s a part of my personal religion.
Me: What’s your personal religion?
Brent: A 12-pack a day.
—
Watching a movie with a certain someone…
Me: Man, this scene looks familiar. I think I’ve seen it before…
*a few minutes later*
Me: Yeah, I’ve definitely seen this but I don’t remember what comes after this. Wait a second… wasn’t I in the mood for Adam Sandler last time I was here?
That Guy: I think so.
Me: Pretty sure we’ve tried watching this before and we failed.
—
Talking about a photo shoot with all my besties in Utah…
Carlos: C’mon a gay guy knows his outfits like he knows his Broadway shows.
—
At the St. Paddy’s Day/Mom’s birthday bash…
Carlos: He just wants to tap you like a fat kid wants chocolate cake.

Derika: It’s not so fun when so-called “friends” smash your face in with a cupcake.
Brandi: F*ck that! I’m not a friend with quotes.

Another moment with my PCTV boss…
Boss: Wait, there’s a snow storm? Why am I at work? That’s it, I’m going skiing.

Last year I tried to do a blog post here on MikShorty every day for a year. That only lasted… what? Not even two months? Eh, my senior year of college got in the way.
Well, this year’s Project 365 on my poetry/writing blog Something Write is going so much better! Today is the 60th day and I’m intent on finishing this out! Question though… Should I start numbering the posts? I’ve noticed that a lot of Project 365ers number them so I feel like I’ve already missed the boat. Is it bad to start numbering at this point in the game?
Since I constantly have creative things bumbling in my head, I feel like there is less pressure than actually having to put together a substantive blog post. Little poems are so much fun to write, and if I hear a great quote that’s worth sharing, I share it. With my work schedule so crazy, I like having my little five-to-ten minutes of creative juicing. Having the WordPress app on my iPhone helps loads too.
I’m starting to feel like a lovesick sap with my poems lately, but sometimes you just can’t help where your creative juices want to go. Bear with me… maybe I’ll write about something like my meal at McDonalds again soon. ;)
So is anyone else doing a Project 365?
If so, we should totally help support and remind each other to keep going! Comment below and let’s get through this together!

Brandi: Marinara?
Me: Marinara is tomato sauce.
Brandi: I mean, mozarella! It’s not my fault Italian words are confusing!

Brandi: People get insta-jealous and it’s so dumb.
Talking about work with an old friend who added me on Facebook this week …
Tom: Oh! Where do you work?
Me: ABC 4 News, Park City TV, Sinclair Oil Corp, and just started at Salt Lake Chamber last week.
Tom: Wait I don’t get it. You work at all those places?
Me: All part time jobs.
Tom: That’s too much work.
Me: What makes ya say that? Haha… I need money!
Tom: I know…we all need money. I just think there are better ways to get it than working. I just haven’t thought of any yet.

Watching Spartacus with my brother. There’s a lot of blood, gore and naked bodies…

Me: Well, mine actually look good.
Stin: Well, so do my moobs!

I’ve been a super slacker when it comes to Saying Saturdays, so please forgive me. Some of these date back to Thoroughly Modern Millie days. I was going through my Evernote and came across these and was like, “Oh, I should post these.” Haha! I need to be better with this… Away we go!

Me: Eff that!
Brandi: That’s my girl…

And the random conversations…
Brandi: I love killing zombies! I’m so ready for the zombie apocalypse. When it comes, we are going to the Costco on 56th and State since they sell guns, ammo and they have a shit-load supply of water and food. Basically we could lock the doors and stay in there. We’d just have to guard the front door.

Water-cooler moments again!
Zach: Hello, oh tall one…

An awesome conversation I shared with someone over my Formspring… The bolds are questions the guy asked, the regular my responses.
You’re a genie in a bottle. How would you sweet talk me into letting you out?
Whoever said that I wanted to share my magic? Because if you let me out, then I’d owe you three wishes and who knows what kind of crazy things you would wish for (world peace/destruction, etc.)? I’ll keep my magic in my bottle with me. Thanks for asking!
World peace would be okay. Considering all the turmoil in the world. Actually the plan was you and I would hop on your magic carpet and find a deserted island somewhere. I’d have you turn it into a tropical resort with a casino. That’s where all the rich
You’d have to promise me full reign over everything and anything I say goes. ;)
Heck no. You’re my genie and you’ll do as I say! Now back to your bottle!
See? Now we are back to where we started… Hahahaha.

I admit to shamelessly having a Grey’s Anatomy marathon tonight, so don’t judge…
In one of the episodes I re-watched, a shooter overtakes the hospital. There is a moment when he is faced with a surgical intern who immediately starts listing details from her life like where she’s from, what her family is like and more. In a way, this killer now knows more about her than most of her colleagues at Seattle Grace Hospital. She later reveals (because the shooter told her to run rather than pull the trigger) that she’d heard on Oprah that telling a killer personal details about you makes them see you as a person and less likely to kill you. This got me to thinking…
If you were face-to-face with a killer or any kind, what kind of details would you divulge to make you seem more like a human being who deserves to live? What details would you tell them so they would spare your soul? Would you keep it to shallow details or would you tell them really really personal things? And lastly, do you think it would make a difference?
I think what got me thinking the most was that a lot of people don’t even tell their friends about these little things… at least until the subject of them comes up anyway. Their closest friends, yes, but every day run-of-the-mill friends probably aren’t as privy to that information. Heck, my own family doesn’t know everything about me and I consider myself really close to them.
There are always seems to be some details you either keep hidden or push aside, either because you don’t want to admit it for fear of being judged or because you’d rather forget it ever happened. Or there could be the rare case where you want to keep something to yourself so you can savor it on your own. Or sometimes a detail is not meant to be shared for a legitimate reason.
Another thing this episode reminds me of is that life is too damn short to not do what you love, to not spend time with the people you cherish, and life is definitely too short to not tell the one you love how you feel. Some of the reasons we were given these lives in the first place is to gain experience, learn from mistakes and succeed wherever possible. Not to mention to love unconditionally… even if it’s not required.
I bet that is a common question most people ask themselves… “Who am I?” That’s something that those reasons for living in the aforementioned paragraph can help you define. I can say that that is definitely one of our objectives while on this earth–discovering ourselves. But once we uncover that little mystery, how many people do we actually allow to know us in our truest form? How many people do we let down our guard for to share those details we may have hidden away?
Just something to think about…
So who have you allowed to know all of the little details that make you you? And what would you tell someone who was poised to kill you?
