so, finally saw Rent. Oh my gosh. it was incredible. Myself and two of my friends were the only ones in the theatre. I shed a tear when angel died, then cried a bit more at the cemetary, then tears were rolling down my cheeks during "Your Eyes." I haven't cried so much in a movie theatre for a long time. Then after it was over and the credits were rolling, one of my friends said "That was so worth it." (or something like that). then about 20 seconds later, I'm wiping my face with my sleeve while saying, "Ever since they sang "Santa Fe," I'm been dying to go to the bathroom." Both my friends look at me and start cracking up. And it was so true. I couldn't just leave Rent and go to the bathroom, I would have missed too much. But I'm glad I didn't go. I must say that I didn't cry as much when watching the show than watching the movie, but some of the things in the movie were a bit weird. Like the engagement. Don't get me wrong, it worked, it was just weird. But overall, it is a film that I will definately get on DVD when it comes out. So worth it.
Oh, and I did 'moo' during "Leap of Faith."
My friend wanted to walk out cause both me and my other friend were doing it. But, I mean, there was no one else in the theatre. Why not? Hope all of you have had a great weekend. i have a final in 8 hours. wish me luck! haha.

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.
