@seekjustice Oh my goodness!ย I was just watching a song clip (that we’ve seen before) with my sister and laughing over it with her, but it really reminded me of Newsies!ย Since you love Newsies so much, I think there’s a chance you might like it. ๐ย Are you able to watch YouTube today?

July 12, 2018 at 10:20 pm #75040What’s it called? I’ll be going into town today, so I’ll probably be able to get some time at the library. ๐ And because of that, I’ll probably be going very soon.

July 12, 2018 at 10:26 pm #75041@seekjustice It’s “Gee Officer Krupke” from West Side Story.ย West Side Story is a Romeo and Juliet retelling set among the New York street gangs during the 60s.ย So the boys in the song have New York accents, like the Newsies, and the song is complaining about the adult authority figures, like Newsies.ย It’s a bit different though.ย Hope you like it!ย (watch the movie version.ย Russ Tamblyn is really cute and funny and great and amazing. ๐ )
Family worship, be back in a bit.

July 12, 2018 at 10:40 pm #75043Oh yes, I’ve been meaning to watch/listen toย West Side Story.ย I’ll have to see if our library has a DVD of it. ๐ I’ll listen to it anyway, if I get time ๐ I feel I’ve heard of Russ Tamblyn before, but I can’t think why.

July 12, 2018 at 10:46 pm #75044Your way sounds far more effective than my cringing-over-each-word-I-type. ๐
Hey. See you later.
July 12, 2018 at 11:02 pm #75045@seekjustice Cool, let me know if you do. ๐ย Oh, you’ve probably heard of Russ Tamblyn because he plays the absolutely adorable youngest brother, Gideon, in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which is the movie nearly everyone here has seen but you, and everyone loves to talk about, but which you probably wouldn’t like because no one dies in it. ๐ ๐
Ok, I’m not back actually, because I’m going to watch something with my sister for about an hour.ย Maybe you’ll be at the library by then?ย Anyway, see you later.
@valtmy Hi, bye. ๐"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
July 12, 2018 at 11:17 pm #75046Ah, that’s probably what it is.
Hey though, my favourite musical at the moment is a romantic comedy. ๐
Its at least half an hour into town and we haven’t left yet so it’ll probably be an hour or so.

July 13, 2018 at 1:19 am #75049Hey, I’m back.
@seekjustice What musical is that?
@valtmy You still around?"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
July 13, 2018 at 1:26 am #75050Yep.
July 13, 2018 at 1:35 am #75051@valtmy Hey, how’s it going?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
July 13, 2018 at 1:41 am #75052My MC is still wading through her pit of despair…
Until, ahem, a certain someone comes along… ๐
July 13, 2018 at 1:46 am #75053@valtmy My MC is in a pit of despair as well. ๐ย Guess they can be in a pit of despair together.ย Do you think they would commiserate well?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
July 13, 2018 at 1:51 am #75054I don’t know. You have read a little of mine already, haven’t you? So you know my MC isn’t the most sympathetic person around. A lot of my MC’s sufferingย is veryย much her own fault so your MC may not really empathise. Not that I know much about your MC. You are not speaking of Chara right but another story?
July 13, 2018 at 1:56 am #75055@valtmy Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.ย I’m talking about Bathshua from Daughter of Judas, so she’s nearly the same age as your MC, perhaps a little older, but I think she would definitely look down on your character as stupid and annoying. ๐ย However, right now she’s in a tough place where she’d be thankful for any kindness, and your character, while she might not out of pure kindness, would probably enjoy the thrill of helping someone just because it would be like one of her beloved “plays”, so they might tolerate each other for the first bit until they got to know each other.
Do you agree?
Say, do you even know who Bathshua is?ย I showed @seekjustice and one other person the opening to her story, but I am pretty sure it was Ariel Ashira, and not you… *confused face* ๐
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
July 13, 2018 at 2:00 am #75056Sorry, that took longer than I was expecting. I’m back now. ๐
The musical isย Schikaneder, which is the one I mentioned aboutย The Magic Flute, I think it was you I mentioned it too ๐
