What do you think of Madison, Blaine, Quinn, Santana, Ryder, Finn, Kurt, Jesse and Rachel?

@madsmccrthy: I don’t know her very well...but she seems very lovely!

@blaineandersnyc: Honestly he and Kurt made New York home for me when I wasn’t so sure about the city. He’s super talented and kind and sweet and I’m so lucky to have him as one of my best friends.

@quinnspired: She’s always been very kind to me. I used to be able to talk to her at the office here and there, but now it’s different. I’d love to get to know her more!

@sxnlopez: Honestly she’s one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. She’s the best person, and so kind to me. I know whenever I need a friend or someone who has my back 100% it’s Santana.

@nycryder: I honestly love Ryder. He’s so talented and funny and I hope now that I’m back in the city we can hang out more.

@numberfivefinn: Ugh, can’t stand him. Honestly over the Quarterback thing...Need new friends. ;D

@krt-hmml: The most talented hardworking kind person ever. He deserves all the happiness and good in the world and I can’t wait to watch him get it.

@jstj: Very talented, hardworking theatre guy

@bberryrach: Very talented, hardworking theatre girl

what was your first impression of everybody?

Oh um...I guess I’ll go in order of how I met them

Kurt: Kurt was super nice to me right off the bat, so it was easy to become friends with him right away. He and I bonded over coffee runs and chats about what we wanted out of our lives. I’m very lucky to have him.

Sam: When Kurt introduced me to Sam, I was nervous cause what if he didn’t like me, but he’s treated me like a big brother the whole time I’ve ever known him.

Jesse: He’s a bit of a flirt and a bit of an egomaniac but in all the best ways. He’s very full of himself, but he’s very talented and on the rare occasion you can get him to open up to you, you’ll never find anyone better to talk to.

Finn: He’s a super nice guy and very fun to talk to. I’m very grateful that he’s taken to inviting me to hang out...I’m in need of a good group of friends

Rachel: She’s been so kind to me. And listening to her do her morning warm ups have definitely made me want to do a little more with my own voice.

Exhausted By Prayer

We did a Google search on the phrase “exhausted by prayer.”  Only a dozen results came up, and only one that actually charmed and intrigued us, involving an unlikely pair of dice:

In a small chapel belonging to the church of St. Dominic, were formerly exhibited relics of St. Rose, the patroness of Lima. Among them was a pair of dice, with which it was gravely said that, when the fair saint was exhausted by prayer and penance, the Saviour would appear and revive her drooping spirits with a friendly game.  [Harpers, Oct. 1851]

Forgive my modest collection of vintage patron saints.
