I am seeing Wicked tonight! So we'll see if any of those songs get stuck in my head.
Well, I listened to the soundtrack nonstop for a few weeks after I saw it. But yes, I think several of them are very catchy. I'll be interested to see what you think of it.
The Oatmeal goes all billytea
I love that this is a sentence we all understand! Oh internet, don't ever change.
I'll be interested to see what you think of it.
I'm sure I'll post about it on LJ.
I could really use more caffeine, but I have no change.
Before I clicked through, I really felt a need to defend billytea's life!
Heh. I was thinking this too, like "But billytea has an awesome life now!"
anglerfish: knew that, but still funny. In fact, I think I learned that from billytea (who has an awesome life).
Teppy and The Boy: my relationship role models.
Teppy and The Boy: my relationship role models.
Oh my god. We are so NOT RIGHT. Consider that carefully before you continue with that "role model" thingy.
Seriously, though, I didn't know relationships could actually be like this (and by "this," I mean HEALTHY.) Here's an example: I asked him if he could not do a certain intimate activity as often, because I really didn't like it. Here's what he did NOT do in response: (1) protest how much HE likes it and should therefore get to keep doing it, (2) agree, but keep doing it, (3) tell me he'd find someone who wasn't repressed.
He just...stopped doing it, even though it IS something he likes.
It's a fairly sad commentary on my previous relationships that I was ASTOUNDED that he, you know, respected my boundaries. I really spent a lot of time assuming that I didn't even have the right to speak up if something was painful (bad-painful), let alone something I just didn't like.
It turns out that in a good relationship, "caring" for someone isn't just a feeling, but a verb.
See, that's why you're my role models! I would be astonished if a guy stopped doing something he liked just because I didn't. And I'd probably feel guilty, too.
See, that's why you're my role models!
Okay, but just remember all the ways in which we are SO NOT RIGHT.
Exhibit A: ANGLERFISH.
He just...stopped doing it, even though it IS something he likes.
Wow. I'm impressed.

Awwww.
