RACH: Iāve been rather stressed out lately. Iāve got Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.
RACH: Please share your favorite shows. Documentaries and movies are allowed, too!
RACH: Iāll even throw in a free movie night with yours truly, but only if you provide the cheap wine. Iāll provide the heavily buttered popcorn, pretzels, and hummus.
RACH: And maybe you could hug me or something, too.

KITTY: It was my pastor's gift to me! What was I supposed to do with it? NOT accept it?
KITTY: Besides, it'll help us if we get stuck in any haunted theater or hotel.
KITTY: Right? I'ma bout to get a total migraine which is so not necessary
atm.
RACHEL: No, of course not. I just think itās adorable in a good way.
Rachel: Thatās a good point! I never thought about it that way. Hotels and theaters are both places that are likely to be haunted, since most are quite old and many have history.
Rachel: I considered bringing sage, actually.
Rachel: If we get a haunted a hotel room, weāre definitely sleeping in the same bed and with the light so on.

Sam: yea but now things are... bigger. like, more intense and stuff. it makes sense why ur feeling nervous
Sam: Gotcha. thats cool that they kno and stuff.
Sam: idk, dude. its just, u said it makes u feel like ur sneaking around right? wouldnt telling folks make it so you don't feel like that?
Sam: like i said, im not super good at this stuff. but im glad u felt comfortable enuff to talk to me about it.
Rachel: Itās just a lot thatās changing. I donāt want to dissapoint you. Or Kitty. Or anyone.
Rachel: Possibly. But either way, Iām going to keep it as a handful of people knowing for now. I donāt want the rest of the tour to get involved. Sometimes I already feel alienated enough.
Rachel: Thatās okay. Itās hard to not be comfortable around you, Sam. Not that Iām not comfortable enough with anyone else, I suppose.. but youāre just.. easier to approach and I adore that.

KITTY: Whoever is wearing that cheap ass perfume and spraying it all over the bus, stop it. Now. I'm about ready to douse our whole bus in holy water to help remove the contaminants of the smell and I'd prefer not to waste my whole collection because of some obnoxious spray.
Rachel: I still canāt believe you still carry holy water.
Rachel: Itās giving me a headache.
Rachel: The old lady smelling cheap perfume. Not the holy water.

Sam: ok, but even if u think that, that's not how it really is? like, ur felling anxious even if u don't think u shud.
Sam: Idk exactly how ur feeling but when I figured out i had dsylxia, it sucked. but gettin help really made a difrence.
Sam: yea but shed never judge u for needing help Rachel
Sam: ok. maybe we can work up to u telling kitty? ur dads kno ur seeing a therapist right?
Rachel: I suppose itās just hard to accept about myself. Especially the stage fright. Iāve been performing since I was a kid.
Rachel: Iām sure it did. And I mean, i am getting the help, I just donāt like it. It makes me feel like Iām sneaking around.
Rachel: They know I am, yeah. But I used to so it wasnāt a huge surprise. They donāt really know the exact extent of why Iām back in therapy, but they know enough I guess.
Rachel: I just donāt know why she has to know.

Sam: why do u hate it so much? its not lame to like get help for stuff, specially when its like, really hard mental stuff.
Sam: Sorry, im not good at this kinda thing
Sam: ok... I wnot tell her. just think abt talkin to her? she mite surprise u
Rachel: Because I donāt have a reason to be this anxious and afraid. Everything in my life is right where I need it to be. I shouldnāt need therapy.
Rachel: No, donāt be sorry. I mean, I obviously told you for a reason, Sam. I love Kitty, and i donāt know why I this relates to me, but she can be...judgy.
Rachel: Iāve thought about it. Every time i think about it makes me anxious.

Of course I can believe we have years of friendship now, Iāve been there for all of it. Do you remember when we first met? Because I definitely donāt have that date memorized, Rach.Ā
ā¦You feeling okay? Youāre blabbing a bit more than usual. Have you already indulged in that red wine?
I wrote it down in my planner one year, but I canāt seem to remember the actual date. Letās just pick a cool one during the month we first met!
Yes, Iām simply just..superb! Donāt worry. No, no red wine for me yet, unless you want to have a wine night..Ā and Iāll be game as long as I donāt end up horribly hungover and the lights on stage donāt make me want to vomit. Iām just a blabber, Kitty! Itās what I do, after all. No problem here. How are you on this fine Wednesday?

a rachelĀ barbra berry playlistĀ ā
lorde; bravado
I learned not to want the quiet of a room with no one around to find me out
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go oh
ryanĀ gosling & emma stone; city of stars
City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
It's love
my chemical romance; SING
You've got to make a choice
If the music drowns you out
And raise your voice
Every single time they try and shut your mouth
jessie mueller; she used to be mine
She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
barbra streisand; being good isnāt good enough
Then that's the way it's gotta be
There's no other way for me
Being good just won't be good enough
I'll be the best or nothing at all
christina perri; arms
You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

Everyone has predictable elements to them, like how Iām very likely to bring up Jesus or how Sam will bring up her family. And since we know each other well, we can predict those things easily. I think Iām the biggest expert on what makes Rachel Barbra Berry tick at this point. Iād be insulted if I didnātĀ know what was going on in your head at this point.
Thatās a good point. Yes, yes you are. But just because youāve known me for so long and weāre the best of friends. Weāve got years under our belt Kitty, can you believe it? We should have a friendship anniversary party or something just so I can drink red wine and blab about you on social media. Also, I can be pretty obvious with my emotions, most of the time-- that probably helps, too. Yeah..you definitely know everything thatās swirling through this talented head of mine.

I meant where you are in life, but thank you for the offer.Ā
I know that, Quinn! Which is why I thanked you for being so nice to me! I was just thinking about how much fun we had when we sat together on the bus last time, is all. It really was the most relazing bus ride in the books. Although maybe it was because I had someone next to me who actually talked to me and let me get all cozy with them. Although really, I think it was just you.

I used to think I knew a lot of trivia, but alas, I need to study.
To be fair we were poor, but it was the only shoe related story I thought I had.
Thankfully, thereās a plethora of trivia apps you can use to refresh those skills.
Ah, well..still! I think thatās the only shoe related story I have, too. Just that I used to wear actual loafers in high school until Kitty slapped some sense into me. Iāve really gone on a shoe glow-up.

Apparently itās the state official soft drink. I read that in one of those tourism guides they have at the hotel. Itāsā¦sad, really. I always thought Jersey had some weird history, but man. The midwest is just so weirdly innocent and bizarre to me. As is the idea of having a lemonade stand at all. You might be a bit less city-like than I expected, Berry.
Really? How interesting and disappointing. It does make me feel rather nostalgic, though. The midwest just screams corn and innocence and weird soft drink obsessions, but Iām enjoying the charm of this place. Itās very mellow. And I can see the stars. Donāt say that! I did what all kids had to do to make money, hustle! And sell sugary drinks on the front stoop. I donāt think the other kids did performances, though..not that theyād need to because at that age I already had more talent in my toe than theyād ever have in their lives.Ā

Random childhood story? Check. Random fact about something sweet? Check. Random mention of Broadway? Check. This might as well have been made by a bot, because itās the single most Rachel Barbra Berry post of all time.
Thatās a good thing, right? Iām glad Iām still the same Rachel Barbra Berry we all know and love, of course-- I just didnāt think I was that predictable.

Rachel: Doesnāt mean she needs to know this. I donāt even know how sheād respond.

Thatās something no one can fault you for, Rae. Especially where you are now.
There you go being way too nice and supportive again! I swear, you just make me blush and blush and blush. But I do appreciate it, of course. I appreciate you!
You shouldāve come sat by me this time! I had a few seats all to myself, which was definitely fantastic and I got to stretch out and actually cover all of myself with a blanket, but I wouldnāt have minded your company. At all.Ā

I feel like such a bad Nebraskan because I had no idea about this.
Thatās anā¦ interesting story, though. I once sold my shoes to buy my mom dinner for her birthday?
My dads know way too much pointless trivia-- more than the average man.Ā
Oh, goodness. You did? Way to make me feel like a bad daughter, Marley. I never really had to do that myself..but thatās very inspiring of you.

Lemonade Koolaid and cookies sounds like a dream.
