One of my most vivid memories of you was breaking the silence of a beautiful spring day with your shofar, and the discussion that followed it..

Bwahahaha. You were a lot quicker with that one...

How comfortable you were to be with when we performed together at the Broadway night.

I remember a moment that feels to me like the instant at which we stopped being simply people who knew each other and started the process of really becoming friends...at a party at steve & Tom's house, when I mentioned to you that I had heard you were putting some space into a relationship that had become problematic, and that some people thought it a harsh decision, but that I understood and supported you in it--and you gave me a big hug and thanked me and it felt as though we were suddenly communicating on a whole new level.

Not any particular moment, just that I like seeing you in a social gathering because you have such a welcoming smile and you're just the right stature for hugging.

I remember sitting on the steps outside the First Church during Act I of All in the Timing one night, with you sitting on my lap in an evening gown and wearing a fake moustache, and a passerby giving us a VERY strange look.

I remember sitting outside the Pru learning to share what were then tought stories about our relationships then current and past. We talked, and talked, and it was a real meeting of the minds. It felt so good to have someone special to share with, and it created a great deal of trust. You offered me good advice which I think I might have even taken. :)

So many of my memories are like that first one.

The cast party for Charlie Brown. You convinced me to dance with you to "Take My Breath Away" from Top Gun. You're one of the few people that I'll dance with/for, without fear of complete & utter embarrassment.

Breakfast at Blue Shirt. :)

So far, all of my memories of you have been since rehearsals started. We only have a total of 5-10 seconds in one scene on stage.

Fluting in the stairwells of the Park Plaza.

Shmoozing at TY on and off that summer.

Affectionate headbutting at movie night.

how it all started.

[missmhart.livejournal.com]

so, there you were... all velveted (is that a word?) up and looking sexy. you had a companion with you who was also quite a looker. somehow we started talking (i don't remember how that happened, do you?). next thing i knew, the two of you were dragging me (willingly of course) to a certain house in cambridge with a certain crazy basement.

the rest is history. :)

it's weird to think that both of those places are no longer in existence, but we're still around so that's a good thing!

Re: how it all started.

(i don't remember how that happened, do you?)
Must have been you -- you picked me up, remember? ;)

Dancing with you at Man Ray during a cast night out. You had this huge smile on your face, and I suddenly saw you in a totally new way. I think that's the night we became friends.

[gdaniels.livejournal.com]

Four came to mind - Baja. "Snooze". Lahaina. And a conversation about really listening to each other and taking responsibility for our own choices/actions, which I believe was the transitional moment between broken-us and better-us.

[gilana]

*hug* Treasured memories all, and I'm so glad we're still making more!

[macthud]

step together, step together, rock it back...

learning to swing with you is a treasured memory, not least because -- despite our significant height difference -- you were *so* easy to dance with...

You came to playreading. Late. We had already started, but you wanted to make an announcement. You had, you said, a girlfriend. We said "That's nice, dear, now come read with us." And you said "No, really, I mean a GIRLfriend." And we said "Yes yes, come read with us."

Later, we hugged and I said "Mazal tov" to you.

Halleluja.

[gilana]

Amen.

"Well, how did you get so many in there?" I said, as we extracted the wriggling tadpoles from the toaster-oven. "And why?" "I thought they'd catch cold," was all you'd say.

Seriously, walking in the August rain and our formal wear to Rudy's, you barefoot in the warm water pouring down the streets, me with an icepack under my vest to keep me from melting. Your smile, which illuminates.

[billmarrs.livejournal.com]

I remember looking at clouds with you. It wasn't even that long ago!

I think you encouraged me to start using LJ that day too. :-)

[gilana]

...and here you are! I love it when a plan comes together. :)
