My high school was small enough (actually it was part of a K-12 school) that there really weren't cliques like that. There were popular kids and unpopular kids. My class had 93 students at graduation, the year after me was 100 or so. So the athletes played multiple sports and were in band or whatever.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Sorry, I had a brain glitch. "A Little Fall of Rain" is the instant cry point. "On My Own" teenage angst-fests still happened, though.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Too old here to link Les Miserables with teenage angst, but I saw it On Broadway during a business trip to NYC during the '90s. 15th row, on the side aisle.
I broke down for "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables." I started thinking about all I'd left behind when I transitioned from school to work, and....
Am I the only one that reacts to that one?

move out and draw fire
No, that's my cry point also, Fred.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
As I mentioned in Natter, by mistake, my cry point is the candlesticks-

I teared up just now reading the title, so it's definitely not just you.
My teen angst song from Les Miz was "On My Own".

I know nothing of this show, except my friends on litmag used to draw the posters. Clearly my heart is a charcoal briquet.Anne's hair looks cute like that, though.

Jilli, I've been meaning to ask you if you have seen the Addam's Family musical and if it is any good?
I haven't seen it, and specifically chose not to when it was here in Seattle. A few years ago I purchased the soundtrack without having heard anything, because HELLO, ADDAMS FAMILY. But most of songs are nothing special, the lyrics try too hard to be ooky-spooky, and the plot makes me want to punch people. Whitefonted for anyone who doesn't want to know:
Wednesday is in her late teens and has fallen in love with a normal boy. He and his family are coming to the Addams house for dinner, and Wednesday pleads with her parents to pretend to be normal people for just one night. Ugh, no. There's also a subplot about Morticia having some sort of crisis because she feels she's old, ugly, and that Gomez is no longer interested in her.
From what I remember, it all works out in the end, with everyone accepting each other for who they are, but I can't get past those plot ideas to give it a chance.
However, the opening song of "When You're An Addams" is a lot of fun.

Yeah, "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" is another gut punch.

Ugh, that sounds terrible, Jilli. It sounds like Wicked is a MUCH better gothy musical, with good music and intelligent plot and character development.
