First post
I've been needing a place to blab about the thoughts spinning through my mind, so I figured this place would be good. It looks easy to use, it has a nice name, and the homepage didn't hurt my eyes with an upchuck of colors and buttons. All of these are things I look for when I look at websites. All of these affect my initial (and usually permanent) opinion on the site, which in turn decides if I will return or if I will avoid.
First-impressions are what tend to stick with me. Not just with people, but also with things. Like musicals: if I hear the revival cast before I hear the original cast, chances are I will be more partial to the revival cast. I do listen to the counteract if there is a movie version, but I try to stay away from them so I don't get pissed off by the changes (*cough*thephantomoftheopera*cough*).
Don't get me wrong, I love the Phantom movie, but I never really appreciated it until after I saw the live stage show at the Fox Theatre, ATL. After seeing it live, I was able to finally see that the stage show will always be superior, but the movie is simply wonderful in the ways it was able to expand upon those parts of the stage show that were somewhat limited by the abilities of the live theatre (a good example being Notes/Prima Donna).
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my most favorite musicals, but thankfully I am not the type to limit myself to a favorite.
I don't have a favorite movie, musical, singer, or food because I have too many things in all of those categories that I love enough to allow myself multiple favorites. Some people are critical of me not having a favorite this-or-that, but I just don't see why it is that people would want to limit themselves to simply one thing and not branch out a little (though I will admit that out of all of my favorite things I tend to be more partial to those that could be called my favorite favorites).
It's nice having a place to just put down my most trivial of thoughts. In school, we have a quote/topic to write about in Language Arts class every day, but I don't always want to write about the quote/topic sometimes, and I would much rather just have ten minutes of free-writing (which we gave gotten a few times; I filled about six pages of free-writing once).
Well, I feel like I've written enough for now. All this writing and I've yet to really introduce myself. Oh well, that'll have to come later. I'm out of ideas to write about now.
By the way: I love Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Patti LuPone.
