Tapping therapy is stupid. I miss meds. I miss happiness.
Wah wah wah, etc. etc.
“He’s going to frustrate you. Hell, he’s going to annoy the hell out of you. He’s going to contradict everything you say. He’s going to prove you wrong. He’s going to always want to be right. But he’s going to make you laugh and smile. He’s going to make you second guess things. He’s going to take care of you when you’re sick. He’s going to drive when it’s 3 in the morning to your house when your cat dies and let you cry in his arms and he’s going to just whisper that things will be alright into your hair. He’ll trace hearts into your back as he lies with you in bed. He’ll kiss you with such happiness and passion, even when he’s angry. He won’t be perfect. Fuck, he’ll mess up every damn day of his life. He’ll break things, he’ll break your heart a time or two. He’ll forget your anniversary and what day you two first fell in love or your dogs birthday, I don’t fucking know. But he’ll make up for it. He’ll hold your hair back when you’re throwing up, despite how disgusted he is. He’ll put up with your sarcasm and you’ll put up with his sexist jokes. He’ll make fun of the way you laugh yet secretly love it. The most beautiful thing between the two of you will be, I swear on my life and all that is holy, that you complete one another. That’s all. Like two pieces of a bigger puzzle.”

I am entirely overwhelmed and underwhelmed.
Everything is way too much, and not nearly enough.
Kyle Riabko is in a movie AND on 90210? Yum.
Things that are amazing today: the cooler weather, BCJ as Moritz, and red bean mochi. :)
1) I cannot WAIT to wear hoodies. It’s something to look forward to when you live in Texas.
2) ESPECIALLY in “Don’t Do Sadness”. I just had a musicgasm.
3) Except now that it’s gone, I want red bean candy AND mochi ice cream. D:
Spring Awakening Survey Meme
EDIT: forgot to answer a couple. General Questions:
What is your earliest memory of having heard ‘Spring Awakening’ mentioned? When Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist came out, and I wikipedia’d Jonathan B. Wright. But I didn’t know anything about the play until 90210 came out (sadly).
How long have you considered yourself a fan? Since October of last year - I know, I’m behind. :(
Do you have a favorite scene or song? Touch Me will always be my favorite song. Favorite scene is probably My Junk.
What about the song you listen to the most? Is it the same? Yep, Touch Me is my most listened to song, followed by Whispering and All That’s Known/Those You’ve Known (I have a habit of listening to them back-to-back).
Favorite character and why? I think Otto gets the best lines, musically. But… Moritz. It takes a lot to play Moritz.
Character you’d want to be friends with? Otto.
Do you ship any particular romantic pairings in Spring Awakening? Which? Obviously Moritz/Ilse, but also Otto/Thea because of pictures from the In The Flesh book.
Favorite costume in the show? Ilse’s romper and Wendla’s “kindergarten dress”.
Favorite line or song lyric? “And he touched me, and I let him love me, so let that be my story.”
Favorite part of the set? The friggin’ neon lights, man. XP
Have you ever been a Spring Awakening character for Halloween or some other dress-up event? Would you like to? That sounds like something I should have done already, but nope.
What is something unrelated to Spring Awakening that reminds you of the show? (A song, a picture, etc.) Uhm, anytime Lea Michele sings on Glee, or anytime I watch Degrassi (Jake as Melchior ftw.)
Have you read the Wedekind play? Did you like it? I have. It doesn’t have angsty rock songs, so I can’t get into it as much, but it’s a good read. XP
Live performance questions:
Have you seen the show live? Where and when? Yep. In April, in Dallas. :) Would’ve had stage seats in Fort Worth but they sold out, and I didn’t want to have to love the new cast yet, anyway. :\
If so, continue (if not, leave blank):
Were you a fan of the show before you saw it? Yesss. <3
Have you ever waited at the stagedoor? Did you have any particularly interesting interactions with anyone there? I haven’t. :(
Was there a particular moment where it really hit you that ‘i’m seeing Spring Awakening, this is amazing’? When I bought my merch from the table beforehand. Even though I could have gotten it for cheaper elsewhere, it made the experience fun.
Productions and casting questions:
What’s the first production of Spring Awakening you fell in love with? Is it still your favorite now? The original… yep, I’d say it’s still my favorite. :)
Do you have a favorite cast member? Brian Charles freaking Johnson.
Is there a performance you initially disliked but grew to love or vice versa? Gideon, but now I think he’s super adorable. Maybe eventually I’ll like Christy?
Who’s an actor you think is underrated? BCJ. You’re going to get sick of me saying that.
Who’s an actor who’s never been in Spring Awakening that you would love to see cast in the show?
Do you enjoy Spring Awakening in languages other than English? In languages you don’t speak? Yess. Korean, even though I don’t speak it. My fiance is Korean, and I loves me some pretty Korean boys. <3
Who’s your favorite Melchior & Wendla pair? Lea & Jonathan, naturally.
Moritz & Ilse? BCJ & Emma Hunton - but my favorite Ilse overall is Steffi D.
Melchior & Moritz? J-Groff & JGJ… though I’d prefer BCJ if they ever paired them.
Hanschen & Ernst? JBW and Gideon.
Favorite Touch Me solo? BRIAN CHARLES JOHNSON. :)
Funniest performance (by any actor in any role)? Skylar Astin was funny as Georg, but so was Shishi, really.
