Jó estét kívánok!! Shall we reminisce about the old country?

Hello justlikeThomas! I would be interested in writing to and corresponding with you! Send me a PM if you'd like.

Despite my username (which I made before a recent break in genealogical history of my family) I am almost fully Hungarian! I loved being raised in an Hungarian family!

I have traced my family tree all the way back to 1547 and I have NOT paid a dime! Between the free 1 month trial on Ancestry.com and an old Bible that belonged to my great-great-nagymama I got off to quite a start. Put those with online sources and libraries you can get back quite a lot of...

How very true...you know, I always wondered why it seemed I only saw INFJs online. That makes complete sense! HAHA!

My favorite play is W;t by Margaret Edson. Some of my other favorites are Our Town by Thornton Wilder, Othello by William Shakespeare, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Edward Albee, Masterclass by Terrence McNally, and especially Doubt by John Patrick Shanley.

I do understand that, my comment was more sarcastic than anything. I find his music uninspired and compositionally empty. I love a good Leitmotif, but Webber re-hashes way too much. It feels like he writes a few melodies and re-uses them at every chance he gets. Nothing against him, I am...

As much as I dislike The Phantom of the Opera, I don't understand your issues with that mediocre song that is a rip off of Quello Che Tacete from Puccini's La Fanciulla del West. I saw Book of Mormon a few years ago. It was hilarious. It did place Mormonism at the center of it's jokes, but...

So being a thespian or being in a opera makes me "immoral" and my "ways Godless"? Not to mention the difference between living a lifestyle sin and portraying one on the stage.

HAHA! I know, right? It's the last think on my mind in the middle of it. I am thinking about my aria coming up, how dry my throat is getting, not wanting to mess up the makeup that is now dripping of my face, am I going to miss her mouth, so much disconnect. The best part is remaining in an...

As one of my past pastors told me: "I don't find it preferable to have a woman in the pastor position, but if she is teaching Biblical truth then it isn't a big issue." (That was a little paraphrased, but had the same point.) Personally, I don't see it an issue having a woman fulfilling the...

It has been a few years since I have read any Nietzsche, but I do remember him saying that we must struggle to find meaning in life and that nothing is worth anything so we must enjoy life while we can. What if you were to tie this in to a study in Ecclesiastes where you go through the first 11...

I am studying Voice and Opera Performance.

I heard David Platt speak at Urbana this past year. He is a great teacher/speaker!

One thing that truly saddens me, mentioning one of the stories the original poster gave, is when pastors use the prosperity gospel to encourage tithing, or use the prosperity gospel at all. There is a story in one of David Platt's book (I believe Radical) where he talks about a small house...

I see your point though, I don't think it is totally fair to compare a role, or "person", to a single song. In the context of an opera or piece of musical theatre we spend a few hours with these characters learning who they are, what make them tick, and ultimately asking questions and...

I completely agree! And I love the idea of the group you perform with (I have been thinking of starting a theatre around that premise). I was recently in a Britten opera The Rape of Lucretia. It was a really great experience. Especially because at the end of the opera after very disturbing...

Haha...thank you! I had a bad experience at a church that I stopped attending and among other things they made me feel very guilty for my singing/acting. It really got to me and I didn't really know what to make of it. In bocca al lupo!
