I randomly wound up in a conversation with Leslie (the AA for my department who sits next to me) about musicals. Which was fun, because really, I haven't gushed about musicals in quite some time. She went through the same Phantom of the Opera obsession that I did. Of course, after my PotO obsession came my Les Mis obsession. And then…well, I go through phases. Most recently it was Ragtime, but nothing like what it was for Phantom and Les Mis. Maybe it's because I'm older. Maybe my musicals obsession has switched to my Buffy obsession. Well, tv is a lot cheaper to experience than theater, that's for sure. Or maybe it's just that I've gotten older. And have matured.
It's amazing how quickly time seems to be going. I don't remember days, months, years, flying by this quickly when I was younger. I blinked, and it's November 1. Again. And four years have passed. And we're all very different people than we used to be.
edited to add: We all lose our innocence at some point or another. That day was my day.
Current song in my head:
"Look Down" from Les Miserables
