Seriously. 40 bucks shelled out for the RENT discs. Although I certainly think they're worth every penny but I think I've spent almost 90 bucks on RENT merchandise. Again, not that I regret it (that bible is my treasure) but geez. For that I still live off cereal for lunch sometimes. :-P

Quiz I made! Check it out!
Woah...I got a 71 and I've never met you. Does this mean I'm really good at sensing stuff about other people??? Hmmmm....
Anyways, what are some of your favorite RENT lyrics? The reason I ask is because for my next free project in art class I'm going to do a text painting with lyrics from RENT. It's going to be really awsome (I hope) and its going to have a very bohemian artist, urban feel. If anyone has suggestions for what to put on it (I'm gathering lyrics by flipping through the booklet but I may easily miss some) that would be great. Thanks!
WOOHOO!
Eighty-six!
Dream, some of my faves:
"Leave your conscience at the tone."
"Everything is rent"
"The music ignites the night with passionate fire"
"Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground and feel the heat of the future glow"
"Let's find a bar so dark we forget who we are and all the scars of the nevers and maybes die"
"Strangers, landlords, lovers, your own blood cells betray"
"Glory in the eyes of a young girl"
"From the soul of a young man"
"I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs"
"Might as well dance a tango to hell!"
"Because reason says I should have died three years ago."
"Don't forget--get the moonlight out of your hair!"
"Give into love or live in fear"
"Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?"
"Live in my house. I'll be your shelter..."
"I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love. Now I know you can rent it. A new lease you are, my love."
"She said "would you light my candle" and she put on a pout and she wanted you to take her out tonight?"
"It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicial Mickey Mouse!"
"Not in my backyard, utensils! Go back to China!"
"To days of inspiration, playing hookey, making something out of nothing..."
"Mucho masturbation!"
"I should tell you"
"To people living with...not dying from disease"
"The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation!"
"How do you measure the life of a woman or a man? Measure in love."
"Take me for what I am--who I was meant to be!"
"The world revives, colors renew..."
"How can a night so frozen be so scalding hot?"
"Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory when single frames of one magic night forever flicker in close-up on the 3D Imax of my mind?"
"You pretend to create and observe when you really detatch from feeling alive!"
"Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive!"
"Don't breathe too deep, don't think all day..."
"Connection--in an isolating age"
"For once the shadows gave way to light"
"NO DAY BUT TODAY"
Awsome Lael, thanks! That'll really help. I'm having the biggest problem trying to figure out which parts to cut etc. I basically want to put everything on it but theres only so much canvas. I'm sitting here going "Hmmm well I could take this line out...but no that's a great line...then there's THIS one...but no I love that one too..." arg. :-P

Well, you said most of them. But...
"Auf Tage der Befruchtung,Schuleschwänzen, Hakenschlagen, etwas wagen....." (German)
"No one knew her worth, the late great daughter of mother earth"
"The Pretty Boy Front Man"
"'Oh Hi' After Seven Months?"
"No way, can I be what I'm not but hey, don't you want your girl hot?"
Keep it coming you guys. I've decided to do a series piece. So it's basically 2 canvases with slightly different color schemes and layout etc, but can essentially be shown together as a group. I just couldn't fit it all on one canvas! :-P I hope it turns out well but even if not, it'll be alot of fun.

Just started the companion piece. The first one was using cool tones (blues, purples etc) but this one is using browns, reds, maroons, and black. It's turning out pretty well so far, and I'm thinking about adding in some pictures even of the cast. I dont know yet. but thanks for the quotes you guys. If the piece ever goes up in a show I'll be sure to give you guys some credit.
Haha I'll take some pics when I'm done and PM them to you. Maybe in a week or two, they should be near finished. The purple on is done but I still need some black spray paint...

sure thing. I'd love to get other people's opinions on the work anyways. So I know what I did right and what needs to be worked on some more.
