Well those other greetings are pretty standard here, particularly the fake kissing when it comes to older people. I often shake older peoples hands and hug my female friends and do some kind of awkward head nodding thing with male friends.

@rochellaine

Our anthem is quite long too, and we usually only sing the first two verses.

Well I guess its not weird…I’ve just never seen anyone do it. It just sounds awkward, trying to handshake and hug at the  same time.

I like all of them!! How do I choose just one? I like If Dreams Came True the best probably. 🙂

@jenwriter17, possible. I have youth group tonight, so it depends on how tired I am

@seekjustice, I think I do. I’ll probably have to listen to it two or three more times to fully understand it. which is your favorite song?

@alia

Okay, so the basic rundown is this:

1. Prologue to You’ll Never Be Alone: Lucie comes to meet her father who has been imprisoned for her whole life and takes him home to live with her.

2. The Way It Ought to Be (London) to The Trial: introduces the character of Carton and Charles is framed for treason by Mr Barsad.

@rochellaine

Have a good time at Newsies!!! *tries not to be toooo jealous*

@alia

That’s great news! Do you mean the musical or the book? I can attempt to explain it either way.
