(Expect a short rant!)
Anyway, lately my life's been going really good - all my friends are finally happy with their relationships, and then bam! Stuff suddenly starts blowing up in my face. It's like the 'Angel' in my group of friends went *poof* or something.
I was listening to Goodbye Love on my way home from school today, and I realized how much I sound like Mimi in the first part of the song, and how I'm like Mark in the second part.
Sooo. . . spoonfed discussion:
Ever had a moment in your life where a certain song from Rent brought you comfort? Which one?

Oh I hope things get better for you.
I once had "Love Heals" on repeat for who knows how long, just sitting in my bedroom, crying because I found it so touching, and it honestly did help me out. "Seasons Of Love" always lifts my spirits a bit. Y'know, the songs about 'love', haha.

I'm kinda having a hard time with a friends right now. He's not in a very good place right now and I feel like he's pushing me away. Sometimes I just like to sing Goodbye Love, Mimi's part at the end. Not because I'm in love with him, but because he's one of my best friends and I love him and I don't want to say goodbye but part of me feels like I have to.
There's a few other ones.
Seasons of Love always makes me feel better, because I figure that there are different kinds of love, and maybe I'm not happy with the kind of love I'm getting, but there's other kinds of love. It's a different season and I have to accept that. It also makes me realize that when you measure your life in love, nothing else matters.
Oh, and I was definetly feeling Halloween on Halloween this year. Espeically the "And when I capture it on film, will it mean that it's the end and I'm alone." bit. It was kinda ironic.

Life Support and Will I? are the two songs I like to listen to when I'm sad and just want to cry.
I listen to Out Tonight when I want to cheer myself up. I can't help but dance around the room when it comes on.

Hm; The thing about this is that it is complicated.
Light My Candle, to me, represents the sparking of new possibilities and options for a flaming relationship. I've related this song to several periods of my life, and mostly, if not all, to the same person.
Then there is "Contact" (not featured in the movie; there is seriously a lack of provocativeness!! D<) which is what I listen to when I am feeling completely and utterly confused about my romance-life. I'm a strange person, leave my interpretations alone! O.o
And La Vei Boheme just SCREAMS what I feel about the modern world and my love for drama. =D And What You Own is what I go around singing when I'm like: "******** you America/World/School." xDDD

The lyrics in LVB actually helped the pro-RENT friends of my little group figure out to do when we were in a fight about RENT with our anti-RENT friends. It was really weird, because the words were the perfect fit. We all thought it was awesome.

YES! I just got home after a post-play-practice-dessert-gathering-thing, read this post and thought of a time that this happened just today at the resteraunt.
One of my close friends, a freshman, got together with a gril I've known for a while but never known well, a senior, a week ago. And at the resteraunt, I realized Jonathan wasn't just spurting pretty rhyming words when he said "Love's not a three way street". The girl loves my friend and herself(a bit too much at times), and the guy loves himself...but sadley not her.*I use the word "Love" looseley*.
It's just a petty problem in life where a moment/line of RENT fit perfectly.
*And Bkg-lessthanthree...I hope you get who this is...*

Goodbye Love, La Vie Boheme, Seasons of Love, and Another day help me out a lot, drilling their messages into my head with the spirit and the truth.
But I think the song that most affects me is What You Own. Just hearing someone say, "you're not alone", even with everything else going on, gives me something to hold onto in the best and worst of times.

Noooo. I don't understand it AT ALL.
It couldn't possibly be the gaurd and the tree, hm? xD
Since my recent.. free-ness, as I shall choose to call it, I have been listening non-stop to Out Tonight on my mp3 player. Mostly the instrumental, coz it is just that cool. But I am still trying to figure out if I am telling myself something. There is just something about that song that wakes me up. Same with LMC, because it is the only song I will actually start to sing randomly whilst walking down the street, or sitting in a car.
I'm so fricken complicated. I confuse myself sometimes. Dx

Soo...
Last night at Musical Rehearsal I had some sun glasses on.
My friend Shelly turned to me and said: "You look like a spy!"
I laughed and titled my glasses down my nose, staring at her in a silly-seductive kind of way.
"Bond... James Bond..." I said in a low, casual voice. Then I hyped up my voice and said.. yep, you guessed it...
"AND p***y-GALORE! In person!"
xD She is a mega OBC fan, so we then started to sing the rest of the song. All whilst being looked at strangely by our friends and strangers. xD <3

I really don't know what to do with my life, considering I have too many interests to count. But my dad wants me to go to a two year college that is way cheaper and will get me a better job as a pharmacist. On the way home from a football game for marching band one night, I was listening to 'Will I' and I broke down. Those are the people I want to help when I make medicines. I made a vow that every AZT or AIDS medication I make will be made perfectly and delicately to help the consumer. I have dedicated myself to stopping AIDS.
