I created a beautiful blog post and it did not go through. My post was deleted and I am mad. Very mad. I'm trying to avoid cursing.

THIS IS FOR YOU NICK HOOP!

I am going to quote my husband, Stephen Sondheim, for my newest post.
The following quotes are from musicals or from the man himself.

This is all very random.

1. "Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos."
2. "I really don't want to write a score until the whole show is cast and staged."
3. "Musicals are, by nature, theatrical, meaning poetic, meaning having to move the audience's imagination and create a suspension of disbelief, by which I mean there's no fourth wall."
4. "Nice is different than good." - Into the Woods
5. "The dumbing down of the country reflects itself on Broadway. The shows get dumber, and the public gets used to them."
6. "I chose and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. You have to move on." - Sunday in the Park with George
7. "The worst thing you can do is censor yourself as the pencil hits the paper. You must not edit until you get it all on paper. If you can put everything down, stream-of-consciousness, you`ll do yourself a service"
8. Listen to "Losing My Mind" from Follies.
9. Listen to "Finishing the Hat" from Sunday in the Park With George.
10. "One of the hardest things about writing lyrics is to make the lyrics sit on the music in such a way that you're not aware there was a writer there."
11. "Everybody says no stop. Mustn't rock the boat mustn't touch a thing. Everybody says don't. Everybody says wait. Everybody says can't fight city-hall. Can't upset the court. Can't laugh at the king! Well I say try. I say, "Laugh at the King or he'll make you cry. Loose your poise. Fall if you have to but lady make a noise." - Anyone Can Whistle
12. " Green finch and linnet bird, nightingale, blackbird, how is it you sing? Whence comes this melody constantly flowing? Is it rejoicing or merely halloing? Are you discussing or fussing or simply dreaming? Are you crowing? Are you screaming? Ringdove and robinet, is it for wages,
singing to be sold? Have you decided it's safer in cages, singing when you're told?" - Sweeney Todd
13. "Pretty women, at their mirrors, in their gardens, letter-writing, flower-picking, weather-watching. How they make a man sing! Proof of heaven as you're living, pretty women." - Sweeney Todd
14. "Can you see me? Be you anything from king to baker of cakes. You're a vegetable unless you're free. Such a little word, but oh, the difference it makes! It's the necessary essence of democracy. It's the thing that every slave should have the right to be and I soon will have the right to buy a slave for me. Can you see him? Well, I'll free him!" - A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
15. Listen to "Not a Day Goes By" from Merrily We Roll Along.
16. "Somebody crowd me with love. Somebody force me to care. Somebody make me come through, I'll always be there, as frightened as you, to help us survive being alive." - Company
17. "Careful the wish you make, wishes are children. Careful the path the take, wishes come true, not free." - Into the Woods
18. "You may know what you need, but to get what you want, better see that you keep what you have." - Into the Woods
19. Listen to Stephen Sondheim music.
20. "White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities..." -Sunday in the Park with George

TIME FOR A SPECIAL DREW DISON EDITION OF SAVANNAH'S TEN RANDOM THINGS BLOG.

TEN RANDOM QUESTIONS.

1. Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying that because you saw it?
2. If a tree falls in the forest and x is 4, then how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if the two trains leave for Dallas at the same time? Solve for y.
3. What do you say when God sneezes? - I already asked that, Drew!!
4. Has anyone thought to make Oedipus into a musical? Because it seems like someone, somewhere would have at least THOUGHT about it besides us.
5. Do you hear the people sing?
6. There are two people on opposite sides of a wall. A ball rolls onto one side of the wall so that only one person can see it. Does the ball no longer exist for the person that can no longer see the ball, or is the ball a concrete fact of reality that exists no matter who perceives otherwise (or will we never know, and is this question a load of crap)?
7. Who was behind 7/11?
8. Do heaven and/or hell have a backdoor? If so, do you think God and/or Satan ever forget to lock it at night?
9. Is earth closer to heaven or hell?
10. If you could live through ANY musical, which one would it be?

AND NOW, TEN RANDOM THOUGHTS

1. Good lord, Brad Major may be an asshole (in fact, I'm pretty sure he is), but Janet Vice...I mean, Weiss is such a freaking slut it makes we want to vomit out my butt.
2. Human nature is something used to justify ignorance and violence. Even if we evolved from animals, the point is that we have evolved, and we have a duty to ourselves and our fellow man to act as such.
3. I remember doing the Time Warp (I'm also watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show)
4. I want to start a band called the Rocky Whores.
5. But there's already a band called the Mary Tyler Whores, so...shit.
6. Race is a recently conceived idea of man. There is no genetic basis which determines or can predict one's race. Most things we see as racial factors in people's behaviors and thought processes are cultural (some even being self-fulfilled prophecies based on stereotypes). In fact, humans are the most genetically similar species on earth. Two monkeys that looked exactly the same would be ten times as different as each other. A white person and a black person that looked nothing alike wouldn't be very different at all (genetically speaking). Racism is founded on...uh...NOTHING!
7. I wanna make a short play about a traveling shoe salesman who traverses the world by the end of his career. It would be called, "The Man who Soled the World."
8. I don't laugh at over half my jokes, and if I could meet myself, I doubt I would find myself very funny.
9. Tim Curry's face when Janet sings, "I'm a muscle fan," during I Can Make You a Man (reprise) is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
10. Savannah shouldn't haven't let me do the Ten Random Things for today.

Did I update my blog yesterday? No.
To be honest, I didn't think that anyone took the time to read my posts so I didn't want to continue. I mean, my blog is important to me but it didn't seem important ENOUGH.

Even if Roger is the only person in the universe that is going to read my blog, I will continue to make daily posts because he's worth it. :p See, my blog is worth my time if Roger is going to read the posts. I don't care about the rest of you!!

I'm going to think of a topic, and get back to you with TWENTY random things later.

Ten random things you may not know about me.
1. I came very close to being named Jordan.
2. I can wiggle my ears.
3. My very first stuffed animal was a pink pig named Petunia.
