Lexi, you're never alone in having a dirty mind here! a lifetime of Banality

I was never a pen-chewer, but when I was in elementary school I chewed on my erasers all the time.

YES, KATT! I have a hard time lending people my books for precisely that reason. My brother once spilled an entire bottle of water in the Harry Potter book I lent him, and I still haven't completely forgiven him for that.

I HATE it when there's a noticable crease in the spine, if that makes any sense. Looking at a paperback with exactly one or two creases drives me insane. I accidentally did that to my Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath paperback in eighth grade, and I still hate looking at it.

OCD? Probably.

Jessica, I chewed on my Yikes erasers. They never really worked in the first place, and they certainly didn't work after I got them all wet.

I'll chew pens and pencils every so often.

I have an awful habit of chewing on pens. In fact, I was doing it while reading this thread. It's just a nervous habit I guess, but it's probably preferable to nail biting or something.

Sorry to complain (I feel like it's all I ever do lately), but I have a really painful cough. I hope that it goes away soon.

I wish I liked high school better too, but I don't. The least I can say is that I learned a lot, and that's not such a little thing... so maybe it was worth it?

You might like PostSecret, SD (maybe you already read it?). Sometimes I read the things people send in and their feelings are the same as mine, even if the context is a little different. It's sort of comforting.

I don't lick my pens either. Or suck them. Actually, I don't have a pen...

Books should not have any creases. It makes the pages lay funny.

You aren't OCD Lexi...I'm the same way. I let my friend borrow White Oleander a few years ago, and she kept leaving it on the ground and creased the cover up horribly. I haven't read the book since because the cover pains me to look at. I think I need to buy a new copy.

Another friend spilled Smoothie on my copy of Harry Potter, and bought me a new one like half a year later.

ANOTHER friend spilled Lemonade on one of my books, and just gave it back, saying it wasn't that big of a deal.

I'm never letting people borrow my books again.

I sent a secret in! It hasn't been posted though.



I don't suck on pens unless I know where they've been.

...I should stop.

One of the more pointless fights I've had with my mom (and that's saying a lot) stemmed from her bending and creasing of the Princess Diaries book I lent her and her inability to understand why I wanted to buy a new copy.

I know about PostSecret, but I can't say I read them on a regular basis. I pathetically continue to check rentsecrets (why I have no idea), though.

I'm biting my nails as I'm reading this thread. It doesn't help that I'm nervous about AP tests and a million other things.

Feel better, Ash. Go listen to The Arbiter. a lifetime of Banality

I will end up buying a new copy of that book eventually. That definitely is my pet peeve. I hate seeing my books messed up.

So Mandi, do you buy your pens, get them from friends or pick up the freebies on the street?

I really like your avatar, nia. Les Mis was my first Broadway show, and probably my all-time favorite show as well. I'm really curious as to who I saw and should probably dig up my old Playbills sometime.

I have a MySpace account that I use only to view other's photos, but apparently I was invited to some sort of a group. Weird. I'm trying to open the link to the group, but per usual, MySpace is apparently having technical problems.

Oh, and Ashley, how can you resist a sweet sweet piece of manmeat such as this?

I think that's one of those photos that should be posted every so often, kind of like the Hair one and apparently, that Anthony one.

I always get invited to random myspace groups also.

What Anthony picture?

Katt, I'm talking about the one that they post over and over again in his thread. I think it's actually on the current page now, if you take a look. Heh.

a lifetime of Banality It's so wonderful. I really want to see a staged production of Chess, although I can't imagine that that's the typical Arbiter costume.

I've never seen Les Miserables before, but I really hope that I get to this fall.

I have four shows that I love before all others: Les Mis, Cabaret, Chess and Sweeney Todd. I finally got to see the Les Mis tour on Sunday and it was wonderful. I didn't get to see Randal Keith as Jean Valjean, which was a disappointment after having heard so much about him. His understudy was fine; a bit stiff in the beginning but sang a beautiful Bring Him Home.

The tour was in Cincinnati, and I saw a poster up for a production of Chess. I really wish I could have gone to see it.

When did you see the tour? I wonder if you saw anyone famous nowadays- didn't Lea Salonga and Melissa Errico join before they made it to broadway?

I can't see your picture, Lexi. Weird.

I saw Les Mis right before it closed. I can't wait to see it again in the fall.

I know that Melissa Errico did do the tour first. I'm not sure about lea, but probably so.

nia, not to answer for someone else, but that's a picture of the Arbiter's costume in the Danish tour production of Chess. Which is just too amusing.

I actually didn't seen the tour, although I've seen quite a few touring productions when they stop in Minneapolis. I saw it on Broadway twice (a few years apart). My mom's side of the family lives in Manhattan, so we try to see a Broadway show every time we visit. Given my parents' taste, this causes me to miss a lot of the quirky, smaller-name musicals that I wish I could see. Convicing them to see even Cabaret was quite a task, although they ended up loving it.

I first saw Les Mis when I was about eight. I had no idea what was going on for most of the show, but I loved the songs and the scenery. A year or so later, my mom and I sat down with the synopsis and I understood it. Thankfully, I had the oppotunity to see it again.

Nia, it's the Danish Arbiter! He's kind of become an inside joke. Isn't he horrible? I think it's the cape and the pleather that really take the cake.

Ha. I know which picture you mean. I don't understand why I can't see it.
