No no, it's quite okay, because I've joined you on that crazy train. I've watched it twice already since last Tuesday (would've watched it over the weekend if my boyfriend didn't take it to Jersey), and I've watched all the special features, and I just downloaded the soundtrack. I was pissed this morning because I couldn't get my mp3 player to hook up so I could put it on there for today. I'm definitely obsessed, too. My favorite scenes are "I've Just Seen a Face" and, even more, "Let It Be". I cry every time during "Let It Be." Did you watch on the special features the making of the music? There's a clip that shows Timmy Mitchum and Carol Woods (the two that sing Let It Be) recording the song in the studio and the power and emotion with which Carol sings brought me to tears, and it was just the making of it!!

Oh I have so many things I wanna talk about now! Like the scene during "Because" and what's actually happening there, because I have my own interpretation, haha.

OOOOHHHH PaN my twin!

"I've Just Seen A Face" is my favorite scene, too! I also love "Come Together". Listening to that song while I drive and sing can be dangerous And I have a little grade school girl crush on Jude. He's adorable and British. <3

And omigosh yes Carol pelted out that song!! Dang!

I for one was blown away that Max is actually British. I heard him talking briefly on the special features and I was like "wait...what?!" LOL

What'dya think about 'Beacuse'? I have a theory, too..

And back to Jersey? I thought you guys were living together? Sorry to sound like I'm prying, but is everything okay?

I've barely left my flat for a week because I haven't wanted to be outside alone. So tonight, I decided I have to start getting some of my life back and I arranged to meet a friend for drinks and pool. I had a really great night, neither of us can play pool so after a couple of drinks it gets quite funny! Anyway, normally I would get the tube home but various stops are closed at the moment so since I was feeling quite confident I decided to walk. My friend stayed on the phone for a while and then when I was about 10 minutes from home he had to go, but I figured I'd be OK on a busy road and everything. So I was walking opposite the football stadium and there's a pub on my side of the road, and I noticed this old guy who was obviously drunk standing at the edge of the pavement like he's going to cross to the pub, so I kind of slowed down thinking that if he crossed the road then I would too so I wouldn't be too near him. I was walking really slowly and there were no cars coming but he wasn't crossing, and then he started yelling stuff at me so I walked faster to get away from him. Just as I kind of drew level with him, a car came up really fast from the traffic lights and at the same moment I noticed this guy step off the pavement... I don't think he'd seen the car. It all kind of went into slow motion, and I think I shouted in the man's direction but the car hit him and he went flying over the roof and the car just carried on. So I was in complete shock, I rang 999 and asked for an ambulance and everything and I ran over to this guy and I was doing everything I knew to help him but there was so much blood from his head and I didn't want to move him and then he stopped breathing and I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to do CPR. Someone came out of the pub and came over and I was crying and just saying "I can't do it" and they said they didn't know what to do, so I ended up explaining and they did what they could, but then the paramedics arrived and pronounced him dead. I had to spend ages giving statements and stuff and I just wanted to come home. He didn't even have ID, I don't even know his name. I watched him die, and I don't know his name.

I just... I can't even explain how I feel. I'm so disappointed with myself. And I'm so scared to leave the flat again, and when people come home I don't want to have to tell them what happened. I really didn't think things could get worse; why do things like this have to happen when I'm already at such a low point?

First, I should've clarified, everything's fine here, I just meant to Jersey because he went to his parents for the weekend.

Anywho, I too have a grade school crush on Jude. Except I'm not a big fan of his hair in the movie. However, I'm SO excited to know that Jim Sturgess is starring in a movie called 21 which is based on the book Bringing Down the House about 6 MIT students who ocunted cards in Vegas and won millions of dollars. That means he was in Boston at some point and I didn't know it! But regardless, he's even cuter with an American accent.

And I must've missed that special feature where "Max" talks, I definitely thought he was American.

I think they're having an orgy during "Because". My bf thinks I'm crazy or overanalyzing, but that's my two cents.

I think my favorites singer out of the group though is the guy who plays JoJo. I was honestly blown away by him from the second he opens his mouth in "Come Together".

Hmmm... I think that's it for now...

You never know though who certain members might be or connections members might have. For all we know, someone here could be one of the stars from Wicked undercover. (That would be awesome!)

I make an early prediction that Christian will take the competition. He's actually kinda grown on me.

Our school newspaper said: Happy (Woman's sexual organ) Day! across the top, and had a large diagram of a (Woman's sexual organ) and said the c-word at least twice. So the administrator people tried to gather up all of them, but of course that didn't work. So now we have risque' school newspapers blowing around with this wind.

Munchkin, I am proud of you for being there and having the courage to even go see the man. I dont know what I would have done, but you should be so proud. He passed away with the sight of a friendly, caring and beautiful face in his mind. I admire you and i send my hugs and love across the ocean. If you want to talk about anything, I am here.

I have however heard wonderful things about the music program as a whole, and of the trombone prof.

One of them left. Uh... I don't remember who it was. But someone left, one of the professors.

I'm sorry, but it has nothing to do with your personal choices. If seeing sick and tortured cows makes you crave a cheeseburger, there's something seriously wrong.
