The Good News

So my family and I, since discovering my new obsession and learning that Las Vegas will no longer be showing The Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian in play format after September 2, 2012, that I may be able to go if I pay for most of the trip. It. Shall. Be. Brilliant. I am. So. Excited. And. So. Lucky. I cannot stress that enough. *squeals* Omg omg omg omg.

But I did not come on here to gush about this. *shakes self* Well, it was part of it but of course I have more.

Some of you are probably wondering how far my obsession extends in Phantom of the Opera. Well, here is a small list of things I have done in honor of my love for even just those four words, in order from the earliest things to latest:

1. I have played a POTO song in band class on my Alto Saxophone. Greatest song ever. Well, Angel of Music may beat it actually. And all the originals on the soundtrack to the movie I can actually sing to.
2. I begged my mother for the movie, and I got it. Love. It.
3. I bought the book and will soon get a spin-off sequel. Haven't read more than 5% on the first, though. I'm too busy right now. (If you were wondering, yes, that is how busy I am. I am so busy I cannot even find the time to read my next favorite book. Should I be doing that now instead of posting? No, I can't, I'm doing school).
4. I made a screen saver set for myself on my computer made from various hot snapshots from the Andrew Lloyd Webber version. LOVE it. And of course there are none of that brat Raoul. My favorite picture? At the bottom of this post :)
5. I am getting front row tickets to one of the last three plays going on in Las Vegas for Phantom. And I'm paying for three, one for me and each of my parents. PAYING MYSELF. Talented, aren't I?
6. I have now bought the soundtrack. It is amazing as well. Love each song.

Now, isn't that a lot? I'm obsessed. But it's a good thing. Good good head noise...

He just seems so gentle, and yet so strong here. And trust me, it was hard to pick a favorite.
