Hi, ho! Lovable and friendly, you get along well with everyone you know.
You're a big thinker, and sometimes you over think life's problems.
Don't worry - everyone know's it's not easy being green.
Just remember, time's fun when you're having flies!

Hi Susan, how are you? It's been a while since I checked out your space, so just thought I'd drop in, listen to your music and send some love and support your way! Hope everything's going well, and please do drop in anytime to say hey, OK. Till next time, keep up the great work!! Warmest regards, ~Nick x
So, I'm just sitting here hanging out, watching TV and BAM! There it is, Susan on "House"! Looking good, I might add. Love seeing Sus in random TV shows. =)
I just wanted to let you know that I have two daughters, 2 and 5. The 2 yr old always requests that we listen to "Broad-a-way Belle" in the car. And the 5 year old can't get enough of Meg, her impression of the line "Get off my case" is just hillarious. Abigail, the 5 year old was SHOCKED to find out that they are both you. Thanks!
Susan, I just watched Hercules with my 2.5 year old and we had a great fun. I forgot that you had such a big part in that movie. I hope I didn't miss your House episode yet. If I did, I'll be sure to catch it in reruns. I hope you and family are doing well.
I just read your letter on BroadwayWorld. com and am still weeping. It hurt my very soul to see Prop 8 pass, but knowing that you and others are out there in support gives me hope that love will win out in the end.
Hey Susan, hope things are going well. Are you planning to do any shows in the near future in NY? I would love to be able to see you in something. I will hopefully be going to NY in the Fall to see Eqqus.
