Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers:
How are you? I've missed writing to you. Where have you been? Where have I been? Watching a lot of HBO's Season Three of Game of Thrones and the even better sassy Jonathan Van Ness starring in FunnyOrDie.com's Gay of Thrones. If you love sassy gay hairdressers, Game of Thrones and laughing your arse off - you need to watch "Gay of Thrones" but only AFTER you have seen Season Three of Game of Thrones - because there are some spoiler alerts!
(I seriously have watched the 9 episodes of "Gay of Thrones" ten times ... I have a problem because I loves me some straight up Winterfell Realness!)
And find out which actor used a "stunt tushie" in Game of Thrones on episode 3 of "Gay of Thrones."
(Here's a spoiler hint - he's singer Lily Allen's brother. I am all about anyone and everyone with the name Lily!)
And I am IN LOVE with Jonathan Van Ness' head wrap in the Episode Six Recap ... so fabulous!
Time to get back to the business of me writing and you reading and unicorns roaming the land. Deal? Deal!
I know you come to LilyOnTheLam.com to find out the real meaning of life and the whole "What's It All About, Alfie?"-ism of it all ... And today is your lucky day because this blog post is all about the true meaning of Friendship. Not the true meaning of Christmas because people it's June, OK?
(Side Note: Read more about my thoughts on "What's It All About, Alfie? in my blog post titled "Why It's Not A Good Idea to Get Drunk and Then Go To The Asian Dollar Store." You know you want to read it!)
In life, friends are important - they support and encourage and yet call you on your sh*t if your head is getting out of whack. And maybe they'll even share their popcorn with you at the movies. But on Monday I was reminded why it's worth having friends in this world.
(Side Note: However sometimes friends are not always the most responsive as when I went into all crazy hysterics about being stalked by a local prosecutor who wanted to date me and Nicky G's first response was "Is he cute?" Biatch please, the guy has a gun! Nicky G, you're on notice!)
Anywho ... Monday I got a big reminder of why friends are important and why I try to (most of the time) be a nice, loyal friend.
You may remember Miss LM from my previous blog post The Importance of Friends and a Tasty Belgian Wafel. Awhile ago, Miss LM was the victim of a car crushing hit and run about 10 minutes from my home. Being from Minnesota and growing up in Wisconsin, I did what any good Midwesterner should do. While Miss LM waited by the side of the road for Florida Highway Patrol officers who never came, I drove over and brought her some cheese.
Yes, cheese. Nothing says "I am glad you're not dead, but I am sorry your vehicle got accordian-smooshed" like a deli plate of multiple varieties of sliced cheese. Didn't your Mother teach you that?
But seriously, I did bring her cheese. Because sometimes you just don't know how to say "I am so sorry this happened to you." So you give some cheese and hope the person knows you care.
Now contrary to popular belief and rumors written in lipstick in various Tampa Bay area bars, I don't just run around giving cheese to everyone. You have to be a quality person to get some cheese from LilyOnTheLam. And I have found time and time again, that if you pick the right people to give cheese to - you will be rewarded. Hopefully with more cheese and some crackers and a bottle of wine, but sometimes the gift is even greater than that.
Monday was a perfect demonstration of that principle in action. Miss LM had found out that an actor we both like will be starring in my favorite musical OF ALL TIME on Broadway Spring 2014 and she sent me a link to the news article.
This was like a 20 pound brick of manchego, sitting on a 50 pound brick of Jalapeno Jack, sitting on a 1000 pound brick of aged white cheddar with a vat of Big Woods Blue cheese and Purple Haze cheese next to it.
This is why you make and keep friends - so that one day they will be your publicity crew making sure that you are fully aware of all social events that will be the highlight of your life.
If you have not clicked the news story link and if you are not a frequent LilyOnTheLam.com reader, I'll give you a heads up. My favorite musical and movie musical of all time is John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch. It reigns high above all other plays, television shows and movies about wannabe rockstars who cut off their penis to escape Communist-run East Germany searching for their other half to make them whole. I can quote all the dialogue, sing all the songs and I may just have a big old blonde wig in a box ready to be pulled out for spontaneous living room concerts of the Hedwig song "Wig In A Box."
(Side Note: Read more about my obsessive love for Hedwig and the Angry Inch in three, yes three blog posts: (1) Panic! Shazam! I'm Going To Guam! (2) Midnight Radio: How I Found My Doppelganger Via Twitter. and (3) Wicked Little Town: Please Don't Think I Am Creepy But ...
And read this beyond awesome clip reel article on Buzzfeed about the movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch - regardless if you're gay or straight, you need to read this article. It is fabulous and distills the Hedwig philosophy perfectly.
And if you live in Tampa Bay, get your tickets to Jobsite Theater's Fall 2013 production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.)
I have been avoiding going to the grocery store while I try to eat up things in the freezer and the cupboard, so my dinner Monday night was Quaker Oats Real Medleys Apple Walnut Oatmeal. (Don't judge me!) When I received news from Miss LM that we have to go to NYC Spring 2014 to see the Great Neil Patrick Harris star in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway, I looked down at my bowl of oatmeal and said "You are the most gorgeous bowl of oatmeal EVER" and then started singing Hedwig and the Angry Inch's song "Sugar Daddy."
In short, I was happier than a cat in a sink about the upcoming Broadway show news!
Of course Miss LM is going to rue the day she told me that Hedwig was coming to Broadway, as I fully intend on spending the next 6-9 months peppering her with Hedwig and the Angry Inch trivia, making her learn all the songs and possibly making her get the famous Hedwig tattoo. I met a guy at a Jay Brannan concert in Orlando who had the Hedwig tattoo and I wanted to clutch him to my bosom and embrace him as a long lost brother! But that would have been slightly weird. Just slightly.
(See this cool video of a gentleman getting the Hedwig tattoo to the Hedwig song "Origin of Love." God, I love YouTube.com!)
So you see Ladies and Gentlemen - this is why it is important to be good to people and occasionally give them cheese because one day they just might give you news that causes you to leap for joy and rate the attractiveness of oatmeal.
Neil Patrick Harris in Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Broadway is going to be spectacular. But what's even more terrific is awesome friends.
And cheese.
And gorgeous oatmeal.
See you Spring 2014 in NYC, Neil Patrick Harris - you bring the Wig in a Box and we will bring the love!
