Crazy Stuff about Les Miz
Hi! Welcome to our page of strange things that people do under the influence of Les Miz! If you've ever noticed, Les Miz is like alcohol. If you get "under the influence," you do REALLY strange things! Here's a list of weird stuff.
You know you're obsessed when...
1. You don't listen to any CD other than Les Miz for over a month.
2. Your English teacher yells at you for singing Les Miz in class.
3. During science, where you sit in the front row, you sing "To love another person is to see the face of God," and hold out the last note forever. Then, your teacher makes an exasperated voice and pulls her lips shut to indicate "Shut up!"
4. You think that being without your TAC for a week is utter deprivation.
5. You run around screaming with your other Mizzie friend when you find out that you've made a new convert.
6. Every time you go to Borders, you walk over to the CD section and gaze longingly at the Les Miz recordings you don't have.
7. You nickname your English teacher Cosette.
8. You print out the Les Miz logo, hang it on the whiteboard of your English classroom, and write next to it "Ms. ________at age 7."
9. Your teacher comes over to you and says, "I don't know whether to be angry or puzzled." and you reply, "Puzzled."
10. Your speech topic is "One person can make a difference" and you write part of it on Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil.
11. You act out the factory scene during PE with your Mizzie friend.
12. Even though you're a guy, you sing the part of the factory girl.
13. You walk through the halls singing "I Dreamed a Dream" with appropriate gestures and everyone stares at you.
14. You pick up an English accent from listening to the TAC too many times.
15. You dream of being Eponine (even if you're a guy) or Enjolras (even if you're a girl).
16. You make plans to skip school and fly to
17. You become obsessed even if you haven't seen the show (I've only listened to the recordings).
18. You don't laugh about number 17.
19. The people who sit next to you in class are constantly annoyed by the fact that you sing Les Miz 24/7.
20. You only use the Internet to visit Les Miz-related websites.
21. When your EVIL friend steals your sandwich, you sing, "I know that bag, I tell you, there's nothing there for you. Just the pastrami, and some bread! They live ordinary lives."
22. When your EVIL friend threatens to strangle you immediately afterwards, you sing, "I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here." Eventually (after singing everyone's else's lines), you sing, "Well I told you I'd do it,I told you I'd do it. AAAHHH!" I think the math class down the hall (which had their door open) thinks I'm crazy now.
Random things you notice from listening to the recordings too much:
1. On the OBC, has anyone ever noticed there's a guy who can't sing in Look Down? He keeps talking his lines angrily (loudly, no less), and when he DOES sing, it's in a very gravelly voice.
2. In "One Day More" on the OLC, doesn't Michael Ball sound like a country singer? (HowcanI leeve when we ahr parted)
3. I think that this might be just my crazy imagination, but on the CSR, listen to the finale. On the SECOND "Will you join in our crusade, who will be strong and stand with me..", do you hear a telephone ringing? I've told my friend about it, and she hasn't heard anything, so it must be my INSANE FREAKISH self!
4. Trivia: In "Plumet Attack," what's a "palaver"? ("What a palaver, what an absolute treat to see a cat and its father pick a bone in the street.")
5. The dictionary says (drumroll, please!), "palaver: a long parley usu. between persons of different levels of culture or sophistication." So I don't break any copyright laws, that's from Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary.
