What song on Broadway do you feel best defines you? Me- "There's a Fine, Fine Line" and "Schadenfreude"- Avenue Q.
Yes, I know it's random. But it's midnight, and boredom is a monster not to be left to it's own devices.

Posted: 8/28/04 at 12:52amBesides the fact that that is not his name "Jimmy" From "Millie" describes how I feel about my boyfriend perfectly! I dont know if there's one song that describes me - just, me! I can kinda relate to part of "La Vie Boheme" and "Moments in the Woods", though.

Posted: 8/28/04 at 1:06amWell right now "All I Ask of You" is the song that defines me. It was kind of "our song" for me and my girlfriend. I just waved goobye to her, she's off to start her freshman year in college 3 states below me lol. Im only 16 so its been hard enough. I didnt realize how many people are against girls dating younger men. After 1 year and 4 months its hard to say goodbye. Anyway yeah, that song is very moving and says a lot about love. So that one for now. It all depends on my mood :)

Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, because I feed people to giant plants and feel bad about it.
But, seriously, uh...Keep It Gay. I'm not even going to bother with an explanation, the title should be enough.

ARTIST: Jerry Herman
TITLE: I Am What I Am
[La Cage Aux Folles]
I am what I am, I am my own special creation
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say, hey world
I am what I am
I am what I am, I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum, some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud
I am what I am
I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
There's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say, hey world
I am what I am!

Maureen's part in Take Me or Leave Me in Rent.
I clicked on this half expecting every answer to be On My Own. Thank you, thank you all so much.

WHERE WAS I WHEN THEY PASSED OUT THE LUCK?~Minnie's Boys
Where was I when they passed out the brains?
Right at the head of the line.
Where was I when they passed out the talent?
Right up front getting mine.
But when it came to the line where they handed out luck,
Where was your smart clever friend?
Back, showin' off my talent and brains
to the bums linin' up at the end.
Where was I when they passed out looks?
Needless to say I was there.
Who'll deny in the charm department
I got more than my share.
But when the time rolled around and they handed out luck
Where was your good-lookig clown?
Off, tryin' out my profile and charm
On a girl in a neighboring town.
I sure got a great sense of humor, A-ha-ha!
The day they were passing the pot.
I sure got a great sense of humor, A-ha-ha!
And I need all I got!
Where was I when they passed out guts?
Mister, I opened the store.
I'm the guy who invented chutzpah
Show me a guy who's got more!
But when they yelled, "Get your luck,
'Cause it's running out fast!
Step up and get your supply!"
Me, with my brains and talent and looks
Blew the one thing you need to get by!
Where was I?
Where was I?
Where was I?
Where was I?

Noooo there's really nothing from Chicago that describes me lol
Although "Ladies and gentlemen: You are about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery. All those things we hold near and dear to our hearts" could define my life a bit
For those who don't know -- these are the lyrics to Unusual Way
In a very unusual way one time I needed you
In a very unusual way you were my friend
Maybe it lasted a day, maybe it lasted an hour
But somehow it will never end
In a very unusual way I think I'm in love with you
In a very unusual way I want to cry
Something inside me goes weak
Something inside me surrenders
And you're the reason why... you're the reason why!
You don't know what you do to me!
You don't have a clue!
You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you!
It scares me so that I can hardly speak....
In a very unusual way I owe what I am to you
Though at times it appears I won't stay I never go
Special to me in my life since the first day that I met you
How could I ever forget you once you had touched my soul?
In a very unusual way you've made me whole.

Though scattered and divided we are still its heart...AIDA SEPTEMBER 5th, 2004...one more longing backward glance...
