Manifesto Ultimatum: Day 8

Write something about musicals you love, something that made you cry, and something you're embarassed of.

Ok. This is definitely a hard one. Musicals? I can't write about musicals I love because I just love musicals. "It's the best life", I say to myself. Who wouldn't want to listen to, watch, and chat about Broadway all day long? It's the greatest.

Let's talk about H2$. I saw it in New York, yes with Daniel Radcliffe, and I wasn't even expecting to see or like it. Fricken' changed my life, guys. I love it so much. I must be in it before I die. As far as Golden Musical Comedies go, easily the best.

Then there's Next to Normal. Not for the faint of heart, but man, that show could bring me to tears, if I cried (which we'll chat about in a second). Sooo good. Saw it at the Pioneer and it's just...gah. Miraculous.

Dreamgirls. Someone in my family has to watch with me before I go on my mission. Beyonce? Jennifer Hudson? It could not get better. The singing will knock your socks off.

Les Mis. Enough said. Except that it comes out while I'm on my mission, which is really showing sacrifice in my case.

In the Heights. Must say, that I'm waiting to love this. Yes, I'm a total poser, only know like four songs, but I'm seeing it this Friday! So HA.

Hairspray will always be my first love. That's another I must be in before I die. I could probably watch that movie a hundred times.

Newsies is also legen...dary. There was a time during junior year when the routine went like this. 1. Come home. 2. Pee 3. Play Santa Fe on the piano and belt it out at the top of your lungs. Real Life.

I'm also very obsessed with the Johnny Depp Sweeney Todd. So good.

Promises, Promises, The Last 5 Years, Memphis, Rent, Aida, etc. Ya, I'll spare you on the rest.


Crying.

Guys, I don't cry. I just feel, but no crying. Considering all the emotions my face is capable of making, even the ones I don't want it to, it's actually odd. Because I rarely cry. If I almost cry in a movie, it's almost a guaranteed favorite. The only movie I've ever cried in is Lord of the Rings Return of the King. I know. But you have to understand, LOTR was my life in fourth grade. When they sailed off to those grey shores, just couldn't handle. Life=over. Other close ones include East of Eden, Gilbert Grape and Titanic.


Something I'm embarassed of?

I don't get embarassed that easily, so it's hard for me to think of one.

And now after letting this blog sit in draft form for three days while I thought, I still can't think of anything. Maybe I should be more embarassed about some things, but I'm not.

I LIKE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.

Sorry this post was so indulgent.
