This is Kelly Woods. He is going to play Lucas in Bare. He's only been in Pemberly for a few months and he came in search of his father, ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) woodsm. It took him a few months to get up the courage to really track him down. Not to mention that he came to Pemberly with nothing and so he had to spend every waking moment getting himself a job and find an apartment. Of course, music theater is his passion and so when he auditioned for and landed himself the role of Lucas in Bare, he put all of his energy into that instead. Currently he's living at the Y, though he has finally gone in search of his dad and now may or may not be crashing on the couch there until he can get on his feet. I could use any lines for him, I'd love anything. Potential roommates, lines with the cast mates, etc.

(A lot later than intended, IJ hates me :b. AIM = sedatedlives, new journal is charlesatticus)
'Ello, all. Meet Charles Atticus who will (hopefully) play the Bishop of Digne in Pemberly Players' Les Miserables. He hails from London, England and decidedly hobbled over to New York in 2001 in hopes of kick-starting his acting career once more. He's a classically trained theatre actor who frequented performing at the Royal National Theatre(company). He's been in the Pemberly Players for four years, having been convinced to join (all too easily) by renes , an old friend (and former flatmate) from his years in preforming at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Charles was relatively well known in the London West End until he dropped off the map in 1993, when he went through a divorce with his wife. At the beginning of his acting career he was well respected by fellow students in the Marlowe Society during the years he studied at Cambridge University. He's well known for his performances in The Seagull and Macbeth.
Charles is a soft-spoken man for the most part and as he's finally segued into his 60s he's starting to take it slower – by no means does this say he's not trying his best, the man is just careful not to rock the boat too much. He's renown for his method acting and outside of the theatre he's a wee bit of a hedonist. He respects the people who've earned it from him and is generally kind, but he does not refrain from telling the truth or giving criticism. Though he takes acting very seriously, all else is quite laid-back for him. Charles sports a dry sort of sarcastic humour, and at times he can sound patronizing but it'll present itself very clearly when he's doing it on purpose. When the man is driven to do something, you should be warned to stay out of his way as he'll stop at no means. Yep, stubborn is how he rolls. Despite this, the man is kind and open to conversation even if he rarely goes out of his way to speak to others.
If anyone wants to tie in their back story with him or be friends, that would be coolio.

This is Vera, who'll be playing Rory in Rhymes With Orange's production of bare. The baby sister of a large family of attention whores, Vera was the quiet black sheep of her family; socially awkward, painfully shy, and preferring to go largely unnoticed in public whenever possible (which was most of the time). Her parents enrolled her in dance classes as a child in hopes of forcing her into making a few friends and she fell in love with them, dedicating all of her spare time and energy into practicing. Eventually, she expanded her interests to different branches of performing, but dance always has and will be her forte.
A recent Orson graduate, she's come a long way from the almost perpetually silent little girl she was for the first two thirds or so of her life; unfortunately, the reason for her quietness these days has more to do with her thinking that she's so far beyond the petty quibbles of nearly every person she interacts with that wasting her breath on conversation is a pointless effort. While she isn't openly divatastic, she takes pretentiousness to a new level, and thinks she's too good for most of the shows she participates in - not necessarily in terms of talent, but just as a human being. She'll avoid anything that could be considered "cliche" (which in her mind is just about everything), unless it's being performed ironically, and unfortunately, Grease: Version We're Too Good For This Shit doesn't pop up every day. She's worked with RWO for a few years now because they're the least likely to announce that they'll be putting on a production of High School Musical anytime soon.
She's not the most pleasant person to be around, but I'd still like lines with anyone who's up for them - friends, enemies, people with Metamorphoses who have to deal with her obscenely picky dinner orders when she stops by their restaurant for dinner/to harass her boyfriend, you name it.

This is Caden Kingston, who plays Beethoven in Dog Sees God. He graduated from Orson last semester, and decided to stick around because he was pretty sure he wanted to keep performing, but didn't necessarily want to go to grad school for an MFA, but figured he should get more experience before going somewhere like New York City to try to make it professionally, and why would he want to leave when he had five companies that knew him and knew what he could do already? He worked mostly with Rhymes With Orange, but joined Metamorphoses when they split off to get more creative freedom, and has been getting more interested in directing and production, though performing still is and probably always will be his first love.
Caden spent the majority of his life being the shy, awkward, overlooked baby brother of the popular, manwhorey football captain and prom king before finding his niche in the high school drama department, though rather accidentally. He eventually became a pretentious artist type who thought he was better than everyone else, both in terms of talent and as a human being in general. Basically, there will always be a part of him that's desperate to prove that he's good enough. And though he's calmed down and matured since then, he's never been the most outgoing or loquacious, and is more likely to roll his eyes at everyone else while reading some Brecht alone in the corner. If he doesn't like you, he's more likely to pretend you don't exist than care or get upset, because those people just aren't worth his valuable time and energy. He takes himself and his craft very seriously, and could definitely use some lightening up. He also has a tumultuous diva-fit bipolar relationship with his long-term girlfriend, ver, and they'll be screaming at each other one second and making out the next and then flirting with other people to piss each other off.
Lines with everyone would be excellent. Friends, enemies, former classmates from Orson, people he uses to make Vera jealous, people who try to teach him how to have fun, RWO people who are pissed at him for leaving and/or are trying to get him back, whatever.

say hello to josh emery, the man known as gaston in center stage productions' rendition of beauty and the beast. josh is a native of pemberly, born and raised, having been attending theater every month since he was in diapers and became a bit of a theatre junkie as he got older. all his life, he wanted nothing more than to be the center of attention so what better way than to be on stage! at 18 he moved away to the city and began auditioning for the big time and after a few small roles here and there, he noticed how competitive things were and found that he wasn't having fun anymore. all the while, he was attending nyu and studying childhood education. his parents (both teachers as well) urged him to chase his dreams, but also urged him to find something to fall back on, thus, teaching! since he's surrounded by a bunch of 8-10 year olds all day, he's one of those big kids who never quite grew up.
ever since moving back to pemberly, josh went back to regularly attending theatre and being reminded of why he got into it in the first place. and obvs, center stage is definitely the place to have a good time.
josh is 35 and extremely motivated. he's a bit of a carefree spirit in that he doesn't let little things get to him, but he also knows when to be responsible and act like an adult, almost like the older brother/mentor figure to most. he's been doing plays at center stage regularly for almost a decade, so he's definitely the guy who tries to welcome everyone with open arms. that said, he's a very friendly person and loves meeting new people so i totally want lines with everyone! even those from rival companies! he enjoys checking out the competition and has even auditioned for other companies, depending on their current production, so there's that if all other thought fails. i'm game for pretty much anything so throw something at me, otherwise, i look forward to interacting with all of you!

This is Rosalie Hartford, who'll be playing CB's Sister in Dog Sees God. She's twenty-one, and one of a currently undetermined but probably obscenely large number of children who have lived in Pemberly all their lives, and are sort of known in the area as a prominent "theater family" - their father is a professor in the drama department at Orson College; their mother is a board member for one of the area companies, and most of the kids who've remained in the area are involved with one of the companies in some way, be it on stage or behind the scenes. Ro, who's finishing up her senior year at Orson, started working with Rhymes With Orange after graduating high school, and continued to do so in between shows at school, but as soon as talk of a split began stirring, she immediately jumped ship, making her one of the founding members of Metamorphoses - and also among the first traitors to RWO, so there's probably a fair amount of bad blood between herself and some of the people who stayed behind.
Rosalie tries to keep things as professional as possible when she's working, because while having a good time is important to her, but being well put-together and presenting herself in the best light possible holds priority. Outside of the theater, she's much more fun oriented, and is big on cast bonding - she hosts Tequila Tuesday in her off-campus apartment every week. She's not one for subtlety or tact, which gets her in trouble now and again, but she tries to always be as honest as possible, whether it's for better or for worse. Though she'll be getting her bachelor's in theatre arts in the spring, she's not entirely sure if she wants to spend the rest of her life acting, but right now it's the one thing she knows she's good at, and she plans to stick with it until and unless something unexpected comes along to make her stop. I'm up for basically anything, so hit me with your best shot.

This is Freddy Kramer, who plays Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. When he was about eleven years old, he was taken in by one of the Center Stage board members, and started getting involved in productions and fell in love with performing. But as much as he loves it, he's not necessarily aiming for Hollywood or anything. He's not the most ambitious person in general, actually, and at twenty-five, he's still in this limbo state where he doesn't feel like a grown-up with responsibilities or anything, and has no idea what he wants to do with his life. For now, he's helping out with high school productions in the area as an assistant director/vocal coach/stage manager/what have you, and figures that's not the worst gig he could have ended up with, so he'll take it.
Freddy's basically a big kid. At his worst, he's a lazy, irresponsible slacker who thinks of nothing but himself and having fun, and makes dumb impulsive decisions that tend to get him into trouble. But if he ever hurts or offends anyone, he doesn't mean to. He'll tease, but deliberate malice isn't his thing, and he's generally well-meaning and friendly and wants to like everyone. Friends, co-stars, people who don't like him for whatever reason, exes and flings, people who try to get him to be more serious, people he tries to get to lighten up, I'm up for anything.

Hello, hello! I bring you Eva Mizrachi, twenty-one and currently playing Belle in Beauty and the Beast. While not originally from Pemberly, Eva was moved there from the city by the time she was eight years old as her mom and step-dad thought suburbs would be a better environment to raise a kid, so she split her time between there and with her dad in Queens. Growing up, she didn't really have any aspirations to be famous, at least not more than kids normally do, but she was put through singing and dance lessons to gain a sense of self-confidence/get her out of her shell and give her something to do after school and she was a very avid fan of the different productions that went on in Pemberly. It wasn't until her sophomore year when she auditioned for a school production and got cast that she was even bitten by the acting bug and went on to do other high school productions and a couple in college as well -- she's currently a junior at Orson. Beauty and the Beast just happens to be Eva's first production that isn't affiliated with a school, so she's incredibly thrilled to be there. Basically, she's impressed, even if Center Stage tends not to impress anyone. Since the process hasn't jaded her yet, Eva has a good work ethic, especially feeling like she needs to step up and prove herself for getting in the game so late in life compared to some of her peers, she's always prepared, always on time and rehearsed, probably would drive her understudy nuts by only missing a night for a) school or b) swine flu. Outside of "work" (and yes, she does consider this work, even if she has an actual job in a bookstore), she's much more low-key and relaxed, bordering on the nerdy side. I'm game for basically any lines, because that's just how I roll.

Hey everyone. This is Michael Woods and he will be the choreographer for Les Miserables. He met renes a few years ago while working on another show together and they quickly became great friends. Now they are roommates and Michael may be harboring hidden feelings for the older man.
Michael's lover passed away five years ago and he hasn't been in a relationship since. He comes across as stuck up sometimes but it's only because he guards himself so closely and it takes a lot for him to become friends with someone.
He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Choreography and has choreographed over fifty shows during his professional career. He's been with the Pemberley Players for four years and isn't planning on going anywhere else anytime soon. For the first time in ages, he's pretty content with his life except for those few moments spent alone before he drifts off to sleep at night.
I'm looking for any and every sort of line for Michael. For those in the show, he is serious business about his rehearsals and takes the musical numbers of his productions very seriously. If you miss a rehearsal, expect to hear about it from him. :]
Michael's screenname is 'fear of woods' and mine is 'tico brohey'.

greetings all! this is wendy sachs, a 23-year-old new york native who is currently starring as van's sister in dog sees god. similiar to her character, wendy tends to be acerbic, sarcastic, a touch neurotic but a quietly kind hearted indiviual. raised by her grandmother after her parents divorced, she is an only child and it often shows in how unintentionally self-involved she can be. theatre is her true passion so she takes it (and herself) very seriously having graduated from a private academy with arts honors. she's currently enrolled at the new york conservatory for dramatic arts so class mates (current or old) would be great! i would love to work some lines out with her cast mates and crew, too! let's also discuss friends, enemies, an ex (male or female) she still randomly hooks up with, a mentor-figure and an older man/woman to flirt with would be fantastic. i can be reached on good grief wendy any time.

Hi! This is Cecilia Stoppard, a 24 year old Londoner and the adoptive daughter of Rene Stoppard. Her parents died when she was 12 in a car accident, so she was taken in by her Godfather. After secondary school she moved to Pemberly and has been here for the last five years. She isn't one for formal education, so instead she began building up her credentials as a designer based on the merit of her hand made clothing and is now working as the costume designer for the Pemberly Players. She has been working there for four years. She also works as a barista at a local coffee shop, Cream'N'Sugar.
She has no real solid aspirations and is sort of a free love, go with the flow, live life to the fullest kind of girls. Despite her parents' deaths she is a very optimistic and cheerful person; she feels lucky to have Rene. Sometimes she can be a little naive and occasionally overemotional, but she's generally sweet to be around. She is flirtatious, has no trouble being forward, and can hold her own.
I could use some friends for her. People she met when she first came to Pemberly, hopefully. A roommate, boy or girl, would be nice too. And, of course, anyone who is a friend of Rene is likely good in her book.

This is Rene Stoppard, who I am looking to cast as Jean Valjean in Les Mis. He is well known in the London West End and only came across the pond five years ago to become a part of the Pemberly Players. He has been a headliner for the players since then, and is awfully happy to be so. He likes the steady work, after all.
Rene is a widower, his partner having died eight years ago, and is generally seen as a pleasure to watch work and work with, but is not overly social outside of practices and performances. He is kind but private. He is a hard worker, and looks to the young actors to pull their weight, since he has been acting since he was a young man, and working hard at it, so why shouldn't they? He is classically trained, and because of this, he can come off as arrogant and aloof. And sometimes he is, admittedly. He has an adopted daughter who is twenty four. He wasn't originally going to be an actor, going to Oxford to get a theology degree, but then went on to acting, becoming a part of the Royal Shakespeare Company when young to then shift on to other companies in London later on in his career. Recently, he is dealing with the slight blow to the ego of having to play the 'older' male lead.
I'd love to have some friends for him to spend quiet evenings with, perhaps actors he has worked with, behind the scenes people, etc., that sort of thing! Even his daughter would be fantastic!

After much procrastination, I bring you Scotty Evans, or Matt in Metamorphoses' production of Dog Sees God. A child star with his own kids' show starring him and a puppet dog, Scotty was sure he was all set for a life of fame and fortune until he "outgrew" his cuteness, his show was canceled, and he was left without a job and quickly headed back down the road to being a nobody. What should have been a humbling experience wasn't for Scotty at all - on the contrary, in fact, since he was no longer a strong presence on people's TV screens, he decided he'd just make himself impossible to ignore instead, which unfortunately led to him being as obnoxious as humanly possible. Acting was always his primary interest, and he pursued it through high school, and continued studying it at NYU, where he graduated from in the spring. He participated in a few Rhymes With Orange shows during his summers off from school, and fully planned on making himself a regular fixture in the company whether they liked it or not after he graduated - which, of course, was conveniently right around the same time they split. He was convinced into going with Metamorphoses by a friend who had been pushing for the split, and while he probably has the least idea of what's really going on between the two companies out of everyone in the DSG cast, he's pretty good at acting like he totally gets whats going on.. as he tends to do with many things in life.
Scotty is definitely an acquired taste, and I'd love people who've grown to love him as well as people who think he's the most obnoxious thing to ever hit the ground in Pemberly. Although his mouth moves a lot faster than his brain, leading him to say not only stupid but sometimes mildly offensive things, he really is that jackass with a heart of gold, and despite his poor way of showing it, he does mean well. He's fiercely loyal to his friends, and tends to take the side of the underdog in any situation, offering his help whether it's needed/wanted or not. In addition to the rest of the Dog Sees God cast and people associated with Metamorphoses and the restaurant, I'd love to talk to anyone he may have known during his time at RWO and anyone else who would like to establish some sort of connection before the game opens.

Alright guys, I bring you Spencer Biondi, ensemble member and Eponine's understudy in Les Misérables. She's twenty-six, grew up in Pemberly, and has been doing theatre work since she was around seven or eight, both regional and with a few touring companies, despite her mother (who was an actress before she had children)'s hesitations to let her get involved while she was so young. Her parents were as anti-stage parent as a couple could get, constantly reminding her that she could stop whenever she wanted to, and in true form of any kid who doesn't listen to their parents, she became that much more determined to do as much work as humanly possible. For better or worse, she loves what she's doing, at least to the point where she hasn't found a reason to stop yet.
Spencer takes herself and her career very seriously; often a little too seriously, and after being loyal to the Pemberly Players for the past three years, she's more than a little bitter that she couldn't even manage to secure any better than an understudying spot for a role she's convinced she was made to play - and though more than anything, she blames herself for not being good enough, lately she's turned that super-critical eye on those around her in an effort to figure out if it's really just her or if the director was high on crack during the casting. Fortunately, she's not so socially inept to actually say of these things out loud, and instead is a classic bottler; quiet, broody, and prone to nodding her way through conversations with people she doesn't like rather than actually bringing herself to speak. The stick up her butt isn't so large that she's completely unable to make friends, and though a good percentage of them are fellow malcontents, she does have a handful of friends she's willing to loosen up around. What she doesn't have is an abundance of patience - for diva antics, stupid questions, waiting in line to use the ladies' room, you name it. Confrontation isn't something she's scared of, so if something is going on on stage or off that is gumming up the works, she'll be one of the first to speak up about it. Admittedly, she's not always the easiest person to get along with, but she does try. Sometimes.
So! Hit me with what you've got. Friends? Castmates, former and present? People who drive her crazy and vice versa?

This is Grant Ely, the understudy for Marius in Les Mis and a newcomer to Pemberly. He moved into town from Maine to stay with an as of yet undecided connection (some sort of relative, probably) after his now ex wife kicked him to the curb for being too boring and predictable. Since the divorce was finalized he's been trying his best to shake up his life a little, and he's making an effort to follow his impulses and try things he normally wouldn't even think about doing, which is what led to him auditioning for the production in the first place. He doesn't have any professional background in theater, and although he studied music through most of high school and as a side project in college, it was always expected that he would join his father's company after he graduated -- and he did, and stayed with them up until the move because it was a steady paycheck that paid the bills and because he knew it was what his parents wanted and it never really occurred to him to act on anything but blind obedience. He found the notice for the audition while he was searching for a new job, and decided to spend an evening auditioning instead of handing in resumes, because he thought if he was going to waste an evening chasing an opportunity that wasn't going to pan out he might as well have some fun doing it. He wasn't expecting to be cast, and is still sort of shocked that he was, even as an understudy, considering the company's reputation. But he's having fun, even when he isn't really doing anything but hanging around backstage doing nothing.
As far as his personality goes, he was raised a polite little gentleman and it's something that stuck with him, and he's a little on the reserved side so although he isn't against meeting new people and making friends, he doesn't often go out of his way to introduce himself to new people either, in fear he'll be bothering them. He isn't an antisocial, though, and it doesn't take much to talk him into going out for a drink or something of the like after rehearsal... or before rehearsal, or whenever, because he doesn't have a whole lot else going on otherwise unless sitting at home watching Seinfeld reruns counts. While he isn't really a ha ha funny kind of guy, he does have a sense of humor, it's just very dry and usually self deprecating.
Any and all lines would be great, especially with his castmates, people who frequent the same bars he does, and maybe a future potential roommate for when he finally stops mooching off the generosity of his family.

This is Aidan Sullivan, who plays Enjolras in Les Mis. He's a twenty-six-year-old Pemberly native who went off to college with vague dreams of someday becoming a musician, fell in love with a girl, decided to major in business instead to plan for the family that was suddenly much closer in the future than he'd originally planned, and worked his way up the corporate ladder for a while before realizing he hated his job, hated his life, and was starting to hate his by-then-fiancee because he subconsciously blamed her for how miserable he was. He broke off the engagement because he didn't want to actually start hating her, but on the other hand didn't think he could give her the life she wanted while pursuing his own dreams, and quit his job before realizing he had no idea where to go from there, so moved back to his hometown to figure things out for a while. Pemberly definitely isn't where he wants to stay for the rest of his life; when he left, he swore he was never coming back. But it's been quiet and peaceful and kind of therapeutic, so he doesn't really mind all that much. And he has plenty of free time to do stuff like write songs, try to get a band together, and do community theater. He dabbled in musicals on and off all through school, though he never particularly cared about acting or dancing and got cast based mostly on his musical ability, which definitely pissed some people off.
Personality-wise, it's kind of hard to tell because he's still a bit in shock and that makes him more reserved than he usually is, and he's kind of snarky and slightly broody to begin with. In his normal state, he's not exactly outgoing, but definitely a social being, who likes going out and hanging out and is a bit of a guy's guy. He's also a huge flirt, which people don't always expect, given his whole quiet tortured genius thing, but he's charming when he wants to be, and knows women like him and isn't above taking advantage. He doesn't fall often, but when he does, he falls hard, hence the whole putting his life on hold thing. There's probably nothing short of his One True Love that could make him give up music, the thing he's most passionate about, and apparently even that wasn't enough. But the romantic in him would like to think she wasn't it, and that the person he's really meant to be with will understand and support him.
So yes. Lines! Lines would be fantastic. Les Mis castmates, childhood friends and people he knew in high school, girls he flirts with, a roommate, and bandmates, especially a lead singer/guitarist for a specific line.

Hey there. I am hiding from the world of finals to bring you Erin Biddle, playing Nadia in BARE. She's 21, a Pemberley native, and when she's not in a show works as an Avon lady. Since she graduated high school she's been doing shows whenever she can with Rhymes with Orange, where she wasn't getting very big parts. But, she was there when the big split went down, and ever since she's been getting leads. So she's conflicted, because she was friends with several of the people who left to form Metamorphoses but is really glad to now be getting leading roles.
Personality wise she's really confident, but not cocky. She's got a sarcastic sense of humor that's constantly present, and loves to laugh. She's a loyal friend and really cares about acting and singing, though she's not obsessive about craft or anything since she doesn't have much training beyond what she learned through performing. She thinks Shakespeare is pretentious, and she'll openly hate on it. She likes to thank her dog in her bio.
So! Friends, especially in Rhymes with Orange, and Metamophoses members who left RWO but she maintains friendships with? Shakespeare lovers for her to hate on? Pemberley natives she's known forever? An unrequited crush for her to make awkward jokes around? A Cousin, roommate, girls she sells makeup to, a BFF who shares her sense of humor? The possibilities are endless. I've been crazed 'cause of finals but I'll get to commenting everyone's posts ASAP. Thanks guys!

This is Christine Ashwell, a waitress at Legends. She's not involved in any of the productions, but her two best friends are with Dog Sees God, so she figured she might as well work with people she didn't hate, as long as she needed the money anyway. Needless to say, she's not the friendliest person, though that mostly stems from a whole lot of insecurity and a constant need to prove herself to everyone. She's smart and sarcastic and a little bit aloof, but once you manage to get past her defenses, she's... still not exactly nice, but easier to be around, and will make jokes and hang out and act like a relatively normal human being, a far cry from the ice queen head bitch she was in high school. She was born and raised in Pemberly and attended Watson Academy, and returned home after graduating from college to try to figure out what to do with her life, as well as save up some money to do whatever that might be. Mostly, she's torn because she always thought she was going to go to law school or business school or some kind of field with job security and decent income, but being surrounded by theater, which she used to love but haven't done since high school, she's starting to have second thoughts.
Lines of all kinds would be great. Friends, enemies, co-workers, people who try to get her to try out for shows, people who try to get her to lighten up, whatever.

Michael Harris-Fainn is a classically trained actor who has been doing a variety of theater productions for nearly fifty years. A RADA and Royal Shakespeare Company alumnus, he has a soft spot for Shakespeare. He's been with Tenth Muse for over twenty years and has seen it at its best and worst. He's been a board member with the company for nearly a decade and has his own ideas as to where the company should be headed in the twenty-first century. As a member of the principal cast of King Lear (he's playing the title role), Michael feels that he is doubly invested in the company.
He has a common-law wife who works with one of the rival companies (I haven't decided which yet) and daughter who is also an actress. Fellow castmates, old friends, children of old friends, etc are all welcomed!

Hi everyone I'd like to introduce Abigail Sorenson who is starring as Cosette in Les Miserables. Originally she's from New York City where she was born to a divorce lawyer and his society wife. Her mother always wanted to be a Broadway star but lacked any real talent so she pushed her daughter into it. Abby has been singing and dancing since she practically before she could walk. She went to the best private lessons her mother could find for her and studied at LaGuardia Arts High School. She had a few small roles on Broadway when she was a kid. She then went on to study at Orson College where she graduated last spring. It was at Orson where she met ainsel whom she is currently dating.
Personality wise she's a pretty driven person, she's always practicing and working on her craft. She's normally a very sweet person and very outgoing. She tends to get a little freaked out the closer opening night gets because she sets a very high standard for herself and doesn't want to screw up. Lines with anyone and everyone. Just throw ideas at me.
