You know you’re a musical nut if…
~you start discoursing on colors in your head when anyone just says the word red or black (the BLOOD of angry MEN!)…
~you of course have to look DOWN and SEE the BEGgars at your FEET when you’re up high anywhere…
~you can sing everyone’s part of One Day More and have to cut off musical phrases to get every part in…
~you start singing ‘Music of the Night’ whenever you’re outside at night (night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation…)
~you sing On My Own while vacuuming the kitchen, even if you don’t have a Marius who’s ignoring you…
~you start singing ‘Do You Hear the People Sing?’ whenever you’re feeling Ruffled or Angry…
~you would never ever be in any flash mob – unless it was Les Mis…
~you speak-sing, “A ghost you say? A ghost maybe… she [he, it, they] was just like a ghost to me” if anyone says anything about ghosts…
~if anyone says “you know what that means” you immediately say, “yes, it means I’m FREEEE.” And then you answer yourself, “NO. FOLlow this to the LETter of your ITENerry…”
~you sing “so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong”… while doing math at the kitchen table…
~you sing “a world that’s full of happiness that I have never knoooown” when anything sad happens…
~you actually know how to spell Les Miserables…
~you learn astronomy from ‘Stars’…
~you paraphrase One Day More before any big event. Or you just sing it.
~you get excited while actually listening to ‘A Heart Full of Love’ because you don’t have to sing male and female vocals at the same time…
…and so on. I’ll be adding to this list as time goes on. What did I miss? What is it to you that distinguishes being musical-crazy? Why is the grass so green? Why is the sky so blue? How many fish are in the sea? And why does the cow say mooo? (Kudos to anyone who guesses what that’s from.)
And yes, the vlog is coming, if I can get it to upload to the internet. Also, a big picture-heavy wedding post is coming soon.

Ahem. I am a musical nut. But I don’t sing one day more, I sing stuff like ‘Missing’ and ‘Light It Up’ and ‘Middle of your heart’ – For King and Country. And I do not vacuum the kitvhen floor thank heavens.-Miss Bennet
Heehee dear, a musical is like King & I or Les Mis. You are a fan of MUSIC, but not MUSICALS. And about King and Country, YES YES a thousand times. 🙂
~Miss Elliot
I know that! Okay so I really like the song: ‘Run Eliza’ from the ‘King and I’ in the small house of uncle thomas. So there you go. I enjoy your posts only could you please do more of ‘The Piano Guys’? I just LOVE the Piano guys! And I was trying to do the face that Miss Jenny does on her e-mails but it will not work. -Miss Bennet
Hahaha, this is very true!! Though I’m mostly a Les-Mis-Wicked-and-Phantom fan, and I just pick up information about Other Musicals by proxy. Heehee.
Anywayyys…two things. Number one, I ended up renovating my Answers Post and somehow your comment got deleted. Buuuut I still have a copy of it in email–would you like me to send it to you somehow so you can re-post it?
And two–you’ve read Betsy-Tacy?! We MUST talk about this!! (Not to be bossy or anything. :D) I don’t know anyone outside of my family who’s read them–well, except you now. 😉 Which book is your favorite? Have you read them all?
Okay, I think that comment got Quite Long Enough. 😛 Ttyl!
Yeah, I’m mostly a Les Mis-Phantom phan (haaaa) and kind of glean the other stuff. Haha.
AHHHH the blogger-dragon strikes again!!! :-p And sure, you can try to send the comment so I can try to post it again. And about Betsy-Tacy – I haven’t read them in awhile; perhaps I should read them again! The first one I read was Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Hill, or something like that. The one where they find that middle-eastern princess. 🙂 I read it in second grade (it was a school reader) and I really liked it, so when I saw the whole series at the church library a few years back, I decided to try the others! I can’t really remember how many I’ve read – it was sooo long ago – but the one I remember liking a lot is the one where the other girl that’s NOT Betsy or Tacy – the shorter plump one, what is her name??? – gets married to or is ‘going out with’ this guy she doesn’t like, just because he has money. I mean, that wasn’t the reason I liked the book (heh), but that’s the only thing I remember specifically from that book. And I remember the one where Joe’s aunt comes to stay with them. I’ve got to admit, though, that I think I put them down because I got sick of them. I should give them another go-round! 🙂 Oh, and I just remembered the other girl’s name – it’s Teb or Tib or something like that. 😉

It is ‘Go Over the Big Hill,’
A musical is a bunch of singers pretending to make a movie.
Sigh.
Let’s *not* be snarky, now. 😉

BWhahaha! GUILTY AS CHARGED! (Sorry bit excited) I am so guilty of all of these! There are so many more too!
Here are some I am gultiy of:
When you scroll through your iPod, every other song is called “Overture.”
Whenever you hear someone refer to Kristin Chenoweth as “that lady from Glee,” your ears explode in a fiery ball of goat stomachs and rage.
When on your birthday someone asks how it feels to be a year older, you sing in a creepy hag voice, “I am old, I am ugly, I embarrass you, you are ashamed of meee…” (Into the Woods)
When your best friend has a personal crisis and starts questioning their true identity, you unintentionally yell “I’M JEAN VAL JEAN!” at the top of your lungs.
You’re the go-to person when it comes to anything Broadway, such as remembering shows’ titles/plots/songs, recommending shows, finding out how to get tickets, etc.
When talking about Broadway performers you use only their first names, as if you know them personally, lol. =/
At least 30-40 songs on your iPod have the titles “Overture”, “Finale”, or “Finale Ultimo”
Heeeheeee! How was the wedding? 😀
Ev
Heehee, YES YES. 🙂
Oh, the wedding. I need to post about that. I REALLY DO. Okay, in a nutshell, the wedding was the best thing that happened to me in two months, and be expecting a post about it if I… no. No conditions. XD
