My Weird Journal Title

[back_to_or]

So, not that any of you necessarily wanted to know, but the title of my journal actually does mean something. It's a very small part of a song that I love. A Sondheim song, of course, because he seems to be the person I'm quoting, if ever I'm quoting anyone. And so, I'll post the lyrics to that song. It's starts out sorta specific to the

i will never get over being passed up for the role of jack's mother in my high school's production of into the woods...

Awww. I had a similar experience with getting passed over for Rizzo in Grease. Of course, that play doesn't have quite the same resonance . . .

My high school did it my senior year. It was intense as shit (from the technical side), but a fun one.

Good times...I'm glad that musical had a relatively profound effect for you! I never really bothered to analyze it too much just because I grew so sick of it...but hey, that's cool. ;-)

Haha, I can understand that. Although, my freshman year of college I'll bet I listened to it at least as many times as you would have working on it. I had that damned CD on repeat for months. Of course, it has worn a little thin now, but reading the lyrics still makes me really happy.

That's so awesome that your school did that play. The most difficult play I did was Little Shop of Horrors.

hey, so you left me a message on birls about us being in the same family. hahaha. so i thought we should at least be friends. and then i came to your journal and you were quoting into the woods! and that's when i knew we must be destined to be friends or something. haha. because i absolutely love that musical and i played jack's mother back in high school. it's so great. so yeah anyway, can i add you?

oh p.s. sondheim is an absolute genius. or a god.

well, anyone who can appreciate Sondheim should obviously be one of my friends.

I feel like I need to have a disclaimer that my journal can be a little, um, whiny sometimes, ha. But anyone who can put up with it is welcome to join, heh.

[youngjamesdean]

haha. well i never really post in my journal, and when i do, it's always when i'm upset. so my journal is pretty whiny i guess as well. i should try to change that.

woah, i always thought it was a science fiction planet. this changes everything.
