-I also scared the daylights...out...of...Oh, that's right! There was no one else in the theater when my friends and I saw the Rent trailer. We screamed, and squeed, and sang along, and catcalled Anthony Rapp (er, that may have just been me).

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
