Seriously. I’m in my 50s and sometimes I can barely remember my own name some days, much less do such a fantastic speech! 🤷‍♀️I think I shall spend this weekend watching as much of his work as I can possibly find on every streaming service and my collection of DVDs.

(wow… I actually own a bunch of his work. Yeah me!)

The Crow. I was easily stuck on that page for 15 to 20 minutes the first time. 🧐 I think I might go dig out my copy of The Crow right now.☺️

OMG. Thank you so much for this. I didn’t realize I still had it memorized until I saw the title. Bringing back so many good memories.🤔

Now I have that song stuck in my head. 😁

“Sometimes we writers take hours Finding exactly the right word It, it, it, it It was a dark and stormy morning Packed, flat, trite It was a dark and stormy evening It was a dark and stormy night Night, right!”

Reply to comment by lizzpop2003 in I finally watched hairspray and loved although I love the other musicals I watched this week better read them in the thing below and if you have seen them tell me if you liked them or not I love musicals I just love them awesome dancing and singing and drama and acting and ships by OppositeMoney9391

Watching Tick tick boom works a little better (especially in regard to understanding/liking the main character) if you have seen Rent. IMHO .

Reply to TIFU by finding out my sister's secret by [deleted]

Yeah. You fucked up. You are upset at her for having lied about her grades (those are still her grades not yours) but you went right ahead and felt justified in breaking into her account.

So are you now going to lie that you didn’t do it? Are you going to spend the rest of your life holding the secret? Or are you going to let it out and cause a tremendous amount (I’m assuming here) of drama and trouble and angst for everyone?

What you need to do is mind your own business. Your sister has her own path and her own life to lead and it is not up to you to make choices for her.
