Here I Am

Yes, it's very long. And it contains spoilers throughout the movie, in case you've never seen the show and/or movie.

( And realize this comes from a girl who was obsessed with the OBC when it was on broadway...I was a renthead, one of those who did the lines, and then the lottos, and got to know everyone...OBSESSED! )

So that's one viewing down and about twenty more to go!

So what did y'all think?

Can I tell you how excited I am for the rent movie? In the early days, I was scared because they hadn't cast my obc, but now - now not even my dislike of Rosario Dawson could ruin this movie. And surprisingly, she's not too bad as Mimi (no Daphne, not even a Yasmin, but good enough).

ladybug218 and I keep exchanging emails today about it and it's only making me more and more excited. How many days left?

My only fear? Getting sucked back into that obsessive Rent place that held my heart from it's opening until Ant left the show. Can I tell you how hard that show was? First off, the audience was mostly comprised of the Rentheads and the other OBC who had already left (Ant was the last to leave) and it just...there was much crying and a feeling of such loss.

And now we get it back, sorta. We get Ant as Marc and Adam in the Roger pants (though without the Roger hair - where the hell is the Roger hair?) And I hope Adam does his Roger knee bends. Hee. This could only rekindle the obsession...

Seriously, I hardly decorate my apartment, but I have a signed rent poster by the OBC and a signed "the three Marcs of Rent" poster signed by Anthony Rapp, Neil Patrick Harris, and Luthor (eep - I forget his name...he went on to play Roger on Broadway, but he started as Marc in Boston...). Telling you that is to prove how obsessed I was. Further proof? My mother is actually excited about it because she misses hearing me and my sister playing the music/watching stuff with the actors, going to see the play all the time.

Oh, Lordy, please let it be good. let me forgive adam for the bad hair (can't be worse than the shaved head, can't be worse than the shaved head) and let me overlook that Freddy and Daphne aren't in it.

::pulls out all her bootleg videos and interviews and clips::

Gah.

No really. Even before there was Nsync, though that's my first internet fandom, there was the OBC Rent. You don't want to know how many times I saw it - I came to know the cast and crew and a lot of the people in the line (the line days - long before the lotto!).

Double gah.

I'm so excited. Rent brought so many cool people into my life that I consider very dear friends (some of whom I'm going to see the movie with - to properly "moo with me" and clap and do all the stuff one should with Rent).

So, if come the week of November 23rd I revert to talk of nothing but Rent, consider yourself warned. Hee.

In the meantime, I'll settle for excitement at new Supernatural - one week of reruns was so sad, imagine what I'll be like during the spring WB haitus thing. Although, I don't do well with bugs of any kind. It's a memory that involved Girl Scout Camp and a gypsy moth catepillar infestation...and now I just can't even see a picture of a bug without running away screaming.

So yeah, that will make tonight's episode interesting...

But I gotta. Can't miss out on the brotherly bonding and snarking and fighting evil supernatural things.

Jersey people - don't forget to vote for Corzine! (I'm not even trying to avoid my bias here). Everywhere else, don't forget to vote either. But really Jersey, I'll cry way too much if we elect that crazy lunatic, Forrester, as governor.

If you haven't already, be sure to fill out 12 Fandom Days of Christmas Poll to determine what fandoms I'll be writing for and what prompts I'll be filling and maybe even what characters. So yes, I can't do the cards/drabbles this month, so this is to make up for that. So please fill out the poll if you haven't.

Also, svmadelyn does so much for fandom, and she's running undermistletoe again, but this year for both Smallville and SGA. She needs people for SGA! I know we can do it, friends list, so go sign up! Don't we all want lots of fic to read throughout December?

Finally, l_vera01 is finally posting the early chapters of her ongoing Smallville, Clark/Lex A/U WIP. It's called "Destiny's Journey" and it's addictive with angst and fluff and original characters. I love it a lot, and not just because I'm betaing (really do need to beta chapter eight soon) So go check it out - chapter one and chapter 2

Okay, off to do some writing and reading (I'm so behind on my fanfiction reading because of last week) and beta work.

Have a good day!
