This was one of the many funniest moments in my life. I was staying with my aunt in New York City.I had a small job at Brooklyn law School running one of the switchboards.Imagine a college during the summer. I do nothing. I answer maybe 10 phone calls per day. I did have one interesting phone call the other day:

Me: "Good morning, Brooklyn Law School."

Lady: "Um, yes, hello. I was told to call here to get some advice on my case."

Me: "Ok, ma'am, well if you'll just hold on.."

Lady: "See I just had this baby. Well I went to the doctor in February and he said I wasn't pregnant..."

Me: "Uh-huh."

Lady: "And so see I just had a baby last month. So see I wanna take this doctor to court for tellin' me I wasn't pregnant."

Me: "Uh-huh."

Lady: "See you know how you be gettin when you get pregnant? You.."

Me: "No ma'am, I really don't."

Lady: "Well when you be gettin pregnant yo vagina--"

Me: "Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am. As much as I would love to hear about your vagina, I can't help you. Hold please and I'll transfer you."

Even in a boring job, you have your moments.

I am what you call a triple threat; I can sing, act and sometimes dance. All of the communities I belong to involve the performing arts. I know I rave and rave about the performing arts, but its all that I am. I have many friends that branch out into all areas of the performing arts and I belong to most them. They are the thesbians, broadway nerds and musicholics.

The first community I belong to is the thesibains. I know a thesibian sounds weird but its what theatre people call themselves for a good laugh. Thesbian is based on the word thespian, which means an actor or actress. I don’t need to explain the other word; you probably already know what it means. Thesbians are very hard working people who never have a night off because they’re always in rehearsal. They really enjoy all aspects theatre, but plays are their fancy. Thesbians usually do not go out and audition for musicals, because they swear they cannot sing or dance. A lot of thesbians are also broadway nerds and some are even musicholics like me. A thesbian, for example, is a person who is always is near the theater and is always there helping build sets, is setting up lights, and building costumes. True Thesbians are very open with their fellow actors, and can be great long-term friends.

The second community I belong to are the Broadway nerds. Broadway nerds
are people who always have on a souvenir t-shirt from a broadway show and a original broadway cast recording in their iPod or CD player. I definitely belong to this community because every CD I own is a ether a Original Broadway Cast Recording or Revival Cast Recording and more than half of my t-shirts are from musicals. I even painted my room black and painted the logo of the hit musical “Rent” on my wall. Many people broadway nerds are musicians who love theatre, like myself. The most famous broadway nerds for a specific show called Rent are the rentheads these are young adults who wait for up too eight hours for twenty dollar tickets, which is a bargain in New York.
Many broadway nerds also do regular theatre and can even sing or dance.
I can compare broadway nerds to sports fanatics, who have painted bellies and weird looking wigs.

The final community, the musicholics is my favorite. Musicholics are people who live, breath, sleep, and eat music. I know that sounds excessive but its true. Being a Music Major, I an officially a musicholics. I know from personal experience being in music since middle school it comes with the territory. Many different types of people belong in this category such as the vocalists, instrumentalists, pianists and even the music educators.
Now there is a good number of musicholics who choose to do music theatre or even theatre. Musicholics are responsible, respectful individuals who will be there to always help you. Now you know thesbians aren’t that strange and broadway nerds are just like sports fans and musicholics are always near a piano or carrying a instrument case. The Various people that make up my different communities prove how chaotic and exhilarating my life really is.
