jumping out of my skin
Hmmm..."Jumping Out of My Skin" might be a good song for the musical that Whitney and I are writing. What do you think? Other song titles include:
- "Little Kids...Little Kids Don't Care!" - A hard-rockin' metal number about how little kids just don't care
- "I Love Bacon" - A big, theatrical, eight-part, choral number, the only lyrics of which are "I love bacon!"
- "In Like a Lamb, Out Like a Lion" - And inspirational, hope-building number about embracing one's 30's with even more passion than that with which one lived one's 20's
- "Jump Back (Shut Yo' Face)" - An 80's pop/rock song, with choreography reminiscent of Footloose
- "I Should've Been a Gnome" - A wistfully contemplative look back on life, love and regret
- "Be the Freak That You Are" - Another inspirational, hope-driven ballad about embracing oneself as one is
- "I Don't Want to Be Ugandan" - self-explanatory
So? Should we add "Jumping Out of My Skin" to the list? The biggest problem we're going to have is devising a plot that will, with some amount of sense, incorporate all these songs. Maybe we should just cut an album? Hey Whitney, we can make beauuuuuutiful duueeeeeeetts.
But that's not what I intended to say here today. Not what I intended AT ALL. What I wanted to say was that I'm so frickin' excited about going to New York that I'm about to jump out of my skin! Brookie and I will be on the road in t-minus five hours and counting. I've got the JanSport all packed up, and I went to the Wal-Mart last night and bought me a shiny new pair of Silver Series (right). I'm ready, folks.
4.5 hours. Oh, Day, would you please hurry up!

That musical sounds effing spectacular--a shoo-in for a Tony when it goes on Broadway (and it WILL).
hello dear friend. I am not actually commenting in response to this post about your musical, although it sounds quite fabulous. I was in the Republic of Kalmykia and got behind on my reading, and only now discovered the post of your desire to get married on New Year's Eve. It is very romantic and has potential to be quite beautiful. Also, I will probably be in the US for holidays most of the time, so that means I can be there. Yay! But, as a good friend, I feel that I must caution you. You will not receive good presents if you get married then. People will overspend at Christmas, and just be sick of buying gifts in general, and then your showers will be quite disappointing and you will never have those things you always wanted but will never buy for yourself. It's something to think about when you're weighing your options. But I'm sure your wedding will be splendid no matter when it is. xoxo
