I LOVE 'THE KING AND I'!

Sat Sep 26, 2009, 7:49 PM
  • Mood: Disbelief
  • Listening to: Happiness - The Fray
  • Reading: Pride & Prejudice & Zombies - Seth Grahame
  • Drinking: water
Yes I do and I don't care who knows!

It is also late at night and I am very tired, but I could remain silent no longer. I searched for The King and I in deviations today, you know what I got? NOTHING! ZIP! ZILCH! ZEROS ENTRIES! Nothing, not a single scrap is tagged 'The King and I' which I found so unbelievable my jaw literally dropped. I thought "Surely, for a musical so sweeping, so epic, so beautifully portrayed, there MUST be fanart..." NO DICE! And this was after severally slights against a most beloved classic musical! I cam here in serach of solace, PFFFT!

YOU ARE ALL CULTURALLY DEFICIENT IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE ORIGINAL 1956 ROGERS & HAMMERSTEIN MUSICAL!

And as much as I do love 'Anna nd the King' THAT DOESN'T COUNT! It's not the same, though probably more historically accurate and less romanticized for popularity.

Also, if this entry fails to convince you that you must see said musical, MAY THE GHOST OF YUL BRYNNER HAUNT YOU!

This rant was brought on by the TMC showing yesterday. I was so moved by it, now at an age where I can truly appreciate it and after so many years of avoidance, I wept. It is a beautiful love story that any lover of Pride & Prejudice, Troy, A Great and Terrible Beauty and any other epic story or epic love story, would enjoy. Please, I am so disappointed that this seems to be fading in the passage of the time. I would not have it so.

I'm a 16 year old Anglophile fangirl living in the American heartland. My fondest wish is to gain citizenship in the UK and move to Great Britain. Long live Brittania! When/If I grow up, I want to be an actress/poet/writer, but most likely will become the latter of those three. My skills include rambling on about nothing in particular, a fervent love of all things British (not just English, mind you, everything on those little islands) with particular emphasis on Doctor Who, good public speaking skills, a phobia of all forms of religion, singing, being able to relate anything and everthing to Doctor Who, a good background knowledge in all core subjects (History, Science, Math), a wiz at probabilites and like forms of algebra, and a terrible hatred of the Twilight and Eragon fandoms, read both, thanks very much.
Any questions just ask, I promise I don't bite upon meeting, but if you type in text language I will require a straight jacket to continue speaking with you. Cheers!

Twelfth Night is November 12 - 15, you should come see it. SERIOUSLY.

:D

Yeah, I'm Sir Toby, the old, fat, drunk guy. John's the sea captain/priest. And Jamie Miller is Viola, but she's double casted with Margo Leitschuh, yes, Mitch's little sister. The funny/really weird part about this? Mitch is... Duke Orsino, Viola's love interest. Yeah...

And yes, as per my sig, we ARE doing a SUNDAY SHOW. IT WILL BE THE MOST EPIC THING YOU'VE EVR SEEN! But do come see one of the other days too :D!

Other than that... same old, same old really. Scored a 28 on my ACT. Taking three AP's. Oh, and as of tonight, there is an official Josh Saboorzideh fanclub. We have T-shirts. And buttons. I'm vice president. Jamie MIller's father is the president. And best of all, Josh has no idea.

... want a T-shirt? :D
