Wicked Songs

Some that I really really love.

Elphaba singing about her dream of meeting/working with the Wizard:

You've all heard this one...: 

Best friends Elphaba and Galinda go to visit the Wizard in the Emerald City:

Elphaba after finding out The Wonderful Wizard isn't what we all think he is...(one of my favorites..):

Elphaba and Galinda(now Glinda) at the end of musical, still friends after everything:

Variety

it's good stuff.  so um... to stray away from our favorite four irishmen and a scott, we have something new!

WICKED!!!!!

Which is the BEST musical ever. Seen Wizard of Oz? Of course, you have, who hasn't? Of course some of you have probably seen it and totally forgot it. Here's a recap. Poor girl from Kansas gets transported to a world called Oz, via tornado. There she gets mixed up with good and bad witches (from almost every direction), some odd people/animals who all have problems of their own, a remarkable pair of shoes, and of course the wonderful wizard who turns out to be not so wonderful ("pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"), then wakes up and it was all a dream..... OR WAS IT?

Well going on the assumption that it wasn't, we get Wicked. The musical telling us more about the Witches of Oz, a particular two to be exact. Elphaba - later the Wicked Witch of the West and Galinda/Glinda - The Good Witch of the North. Now these two's stories begin in... well collage. Elphaba, a young remarkably smart girl was born with a certain flaw. She's green. This scares people and basically keeps her from making any friends. That's until she meets Galinda, a popular pretty girl, who eventually sees past Elphaba's odd looks and becomes her friend. Of course a lot  of bad stuff happens and the friendship is tried many times. Especially when the rest of Oz turns on Elphaba as being a "wicked witch" .

Great musical. Great songs. Great story. Love it. 

back again!

The forums are up again, and it's treated as though we haven't each other in months. Still, the happiness and hugs were great craic. 

Here's an expert of some conversation we had jsut as it started up again. (my username is Miss. Sunflower, the other ones are some of my friends on there)

Miss. SunFlower: *cries and hugs forum* oh how I missed it! Missed it SOOO Bad!

Wildcat: I agree! I missed everybody so much!

FiddleQueen: I know what you mean! I feel so pitiful! I couldn't go on for one day and it felt like weeks!

Miss. SunFlower: It's not pitiful! okay yeah it is. BUT we can all be pitiful together again!

CraicN: Excuse me for a moment [*walks outside**yells* ->] OH MY GOODNESS!! IT'S BACK!!! Geeze, I swear one more day without this place and I would have burst at the seems.

Yeah. we all love it. So I'm so happy right now!

Getting your hopes up....(part B)

okay.... I've already told you my stance on this right? Don't do it. 

Yeah.... well I did. Again. Easier said than done, and all that....

Let's see. It all starts with a forum, a fan forum, for Celtic Thunder. A place where a bunch of fans can get on and talk about our one common interest. It's more fun than that though. Just because it's about Celtic Thunder doesn't mean that was all we were confined to talk about. WE could chat about anything (G-rated, mind you) and soon a bunch of us were really close friends. Ages and distance didn't matter at all. I loved it there.

It crashed. Boom! Gone. Means I've now lost contact with my newest friends, likely to never talk to them again. 

Well, I didn't know that ever again part last night, when it crashed. So I go to bed thinking for sure tomorrow it'll be up again. It's a one night thing, it'll be up in a few hours. And before i know it I'm not depressed anymore, not depressed because it'll be up tomorrow. Of course.

Wake up this morning, nothing.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why one doesn't get their hopes up. 

HAPPY BELATED ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

making it easier...

you know on the post about Damian's voice... here's a better, youtube video of it. :) no fast forwarding needed. 

Getting your hopes up....

....Don't do it.

That's my advice today. I'll explain later, I'm really not in the mood now.

Damian McGinty...

Sorry Aunt Barb, "4 Men And A Boy" can't describe Celtic Thunder anymore. Because well... you'll see.

Wait for the video to load all the way then fast forward to 9:o8. That's when Damian starts singing.

This was video taped YESTERDAY. Firday, March 13th. so you know.

I'm 15!!!!!!!!!

well actually I have been such for a few days... but anyways I'm now a year older! YAY! 

and to add to the celebration I also have SPRING BREAK! And a lot of free time! Yay again!

Fun with Vocabulary.

I thought I ought to do a word of the day/week sorta thing... and I still might but one word just had to get it's own post. It's also in my inside jokes list. 

Craic

Already said, it's pronounced like crack. Thankfully the definition is different. Craic = fun, jokes, good times ect. Used in sentences it would go something like;

"That was great craic."

"We'll be having the craic." 

"I just enjoy the craic."

Two things I'd like to point out right now. First off, it's not an English word... it's Gaelic. Second, all three of those quotes have been used........................ by members of Celtic Thunder. Yeah. That's not the only reason I love it though. It's just so much fun to say, especially because when most american people hear any of those phrases they're gonna look at you weird. Which is always fun. 

Inside jokes...

A little insight on how insane my friends and I can truly be. 

I confess, NONE of this will make ANY sense to any of you... that's why they're inside jokes. They are all still fun to read, even if you don't get it. 

Oh and by the way, we have A LOT of jokes. I'll try to limit them to the oddest most fun..

-TRUE FEELINGS.

-The "Family Tree"

-PRETTINESS! OMG!

-Multiple personalities

- I like Banana's 'cause they taste like chicken 'cause the matrix messed up!!! (yea... that one's odd...)

-This chocolate milk is AWESOME.

-Avocados... they're a fruit you know...

-in the fanfiction of our life...

-part B!

-What kind of resort IS  this?

-Disco Pirates (also very odd)

-Tangerinkle (Tangerine+Periwinkle)

-Candy Mountain

-When in doubt assume it's a guy.

-Craic (pronounced like crack.)

Like I said there are plenty more but these are just some one line things that if said to any of my friends would get us in hysterics... some more than others...
