alicia, hahaha of course I know the wicked_fanfic LJ. I go to it all the time. I'm boysnoggage on LJ, look me up!
(p.s., I'm also a chenzeller. Shhhh.)
And aldine, I totally do that too. I went to a ballgame with my dad, and I was like, OOH, intermission! He looked at me very funnily.
And to not make this post a complete threadjack, here's another.
--You go to Panda Express for lunch with a fellow musical theatre addict, and spend 2 hours in there because you got caught up in a conversation about who was the understudy for Elphaba in Wicked at a certain time. No, seriously. We were sitting there talking about where the hell Eden Espinosa was at a certain time, because we couldn't figure out if she was the understudy, or Shoshana was, or whoever. And then we finally figured it out when we realized that Eden left to do BKLYN. WOO WE ROCK SO HARD.
--You are willing to sit in the 115 degree weather in direct sunlight for 4 hours just to see a mini-concert dedicated to Jonathan Larson. WOO!
--You can't have anyone around you make a comment SOMEWHAT related to Broadway in some way without giving them the entire background, cast list, and any other information you can remember on the subject. (for example, my mom was randomly talking about Nsync today, and I insantly started going off on how Joey Fatone was in RENT and listed all the other cast members who were with him in the cast at the time. My mother was just like...SHUT UP.)
--You have to work at 9 in the morning, but you're STILL up posting on BWW and listening to your musicals playlist.

I do the La Vie Boheme thing . . . I have a friend who has a habit of saying "hey mister" and you can just imagine where that goes!
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."
~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

When you're getting ready to go somewhere you HAVE TO blast "Out Tonight" and sing along (RENT)
When walking into an especially nice theatre you're tempted to yell "even the orchestra is BEEAUUUTIFUL!" (Cabaret)
You hate yellow, but you've always wanted a yellow dress just to be "the girl in the yellow dress" (Contact)
You can talk about a failed marriage/murder in Hungarian (Chicago)
You get out of bad dates by talking about your distant relative Ruprecht and start quoting "All About Ruprecht" (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels)
You want to live in Baltimore just so you can sing "Good Morning Baltimore" from your bed every morning when you wake up (Hairspray)
When someone mentions RENT, you confirm your geekiness by mentioning La Boheme, the character/plot parallels between the two, and then launch into a detailed analysis of EVER performer you've ever seen perform in the two shows

Aldine: I do that sports/ theatre reference mixing up too!
For instance, I was watching my friend's soccer game, and at one point asked "so, how long is the intermission?" She just looked at me like "WHAT?!" Then she laughed and was like, "okay, I'm beginning to speak your language now, I think". I just acted offended. Later on, after someone got hurt and they had to replace her, my friend goes, "See? She's like the...*understudy*. I just laughed and laughed. So true... but I had to resist saying anything about how it'd probably be the *standby*...

..you can't help getting super-pissed off when you're trying to sing along to a CR (while alone in the elevator) on the way out of your building to go to work, and then some stupid perky person interrupts you by getting on to *walk their dog at f*&%@ing 6am!* (thus interupting your singing)

When you're competing at a spelling bee, you get all excited because you're #11 and that's Olive's number!
When you're travelling in Ohio, you tend to sing things like "I prefer to be going slowly batty 40 miles east of Cinncinnati." (My friend's, not mine.)
You actually correct your history teacher on the names of the assassins of Presidents McKinley and Garfield.
You notice your Starbucks counter boy's name is Tyler, and then sing Taylor the Latte Boy under your breath while waiting for your caramel macchiato.
You break out into songs from Into the Woods every time somebody mentions a fairy-tale.
While shopping, you notice an article of clothing and equate it with a Broadway star who's worn something like it. And then buy it. ("Oh my god! This is such a Sutton Foster hat! It'll go so well with my Sherie Scott scarf and my Sarah Saltzberg sunglasses!)
When you bet your friends that you can associate any random word with a musical in under 30 seconds. And you can. ("Swimming pool" and Aida, anybody?)
Oy.

That happens to me every single second! There are musicals that I just love, but then, I feel I'm leaving out some of the CDs out, so I spend at least 5 minutes trying to decide which song to listen, when I could have been done listening to a song or two...

-Knowing full well that your volleyball practices are 'practices' but always thinking of them as 'rehearsals'.
-You drive your friends crazy bcs no matter what the situation you know that there is a song from a musical that applies. And you insist on singing or quoting said song.

-you and a friend are standing outside on a chilly evening and she says "You're shivering." And without missing a beat, you sing, "It's nothing, they turned off my heat, and I'm just a little weak on my feet. Would you light my candle?"
And then she joins you.
And she picks up Roger's part and you sing Mimi and you go through the whole rest of the song at the top of your lungs together on the street corner.
Ahhh, good times.

Whenever you go to a store, and you see a razor, and you automatically pick it up and start singing Sweeney Todd.
I remember the other day I was talking to one of my friends, and she said something, and she was like, "Yeah, i'm gonna have to do this on my own.", so then I immediatly started singing "On My Own."
Whenever your in ballet class, everytime you go to the barre, your tempted to pull a Mimi, but you know you can't because you tried that last week, and you broke the barre. (My friend did that one.)

You go on BroadwayWorld.com
You have wished that your favorite stage couple will get together more than once.
One word that ticks you off: Eye-Dee-Nuh.
You want to vomit every time you hear someone gush about Wicked.
You find look-a-likes of actors on the street, and compare to find out if it's really them, because you are too shy to ask.
