rt said:I hate musicals
I love musicals, whether theater or movies
You and I are complete opposites on this one. I love musicals, whether theater or movies, and have a very soft spot for the Disney movies where they sing.
Walking around the other day I was singing "Part of their World" from The Little Mermaid while walking around doing errands. People were giving me funny looks.
Even when I was six years old I'd fast forward through the singing parts of Disney movies. I've always hated it my entire life. It makes me feel extraordinarily uncomfortable and embarrassed. I feel like they're all making such idiots of themselves and they seem painfully stupid with their singing and dancing. It's hard to explain because it's a feeling and not a thought. But it makes me want to run out of the room. I've literally had to run out of the room before. I was forced into field trips as a child where they bussed us to musica theatre productions and I literally had to walk out and face disciplinary action from my school for failure to cope with the situation.
I just don't like activities is what I'm trying to say. I'll go on booze and food vacations without hesitation. I'm never going to snorkel or parasail or zip line or bungee jump or ride a motorcycle or go mountain biking or kayaking or river rafting or to a musical or any other kind of activity.

Bang on.
Nah. It's good for the get up and go. Not sure all things have to be corrected. Shame and anxiety get me through the hump on most days. I'm doing okay and it's born mostly from fear. I might just be more honest about that Han most people. Or more confused about it. Either way, seeing someone isn't in the cards. I'm generally happy.You should maybe see someone about that. Having that much anxiety isn't normal, though I don't need to tell you that.
I will be moving up to Payson on Wednesday. Gonna miss living in the valley, but a small town feel and cooler weather in rim country will be nice.
Plus, I'm only an hour and a half drive away from the valley up there. I'll need some snow-appropriate clothing though. I always enjoy clothes shopping.
I was just there last weekend. It was 90. You've got time.
Hope it goes well ... why the move?Payson City
The Lone Rangers???Airheads
Am I correct in assuming it's the choreographed dancing, not the singing in and of itself, that makes your skin crawl? I'm kinda on board with this sentiment if so. There's something super pretentious about two dozen people prancing around rhythmically while also singing ... like they're being too expressive. Unnaturally expressive. And it looks disturbingly unnatural.Even when I was six years old I'd fast forward through the singing parts of Disney movies. I've always hated it my entire life.

I've lived there before. It's a nice place, and I'll be living at a house in the nearby village of Whispering Pines actually, where the temperature is usually 5-10 degrees cooler than whatever it is in Payson city proper.
The main negatives of moving up there are that, being a Phoenix-area native, I'll be kinda far away from my friends and contacts. Oh well. It's a 90-minute drive to get back to the valley. In this day and age with long commutes and traffic, Payson might as well be considered a "distant suburb" of Phoenix anyway
I'll be just a small town girl, living in a lonely world
Are you going to go on and on about that?
Anyway, hope you have an easy move. We moved to Phoenix from a small town in Pennsylvania. My two oldest daughters, 8 and 6 at the time, were used to being the only people around who spoke Spanish. They found out the hard way that people speak Spanish in Phoenix when they commented to each other about a lady's weight in Spanish while we were walking around in Fiesta Mall, and she told them off. That was 23 years ago.
I wish that movie had a better title. It's so ****ing funny and that title is so ****ing dumb.
Finished my move to Payson today. Had an emotional breakdown on the way there the entire time.
Still can't stop crying for longer than a few minutes at a time.
These days I have to deal with my daughter going through her own separation anxieties every time she heads back up to Flag to attend NAU. She wants the independence but can't quite let go of her mom yet. This will be the third year of going through this.
