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.
