Fact Is . . .

At the Kaos 91.1 skate party on Sunday afternoon.

Morning, kudos to Nicholl at The Chiffon Diary for this linky party!
Here are the facts on this snowy Saturday morning.

Fact: I am getting really excited for my Halloween party on Wednesday. I hope it'll be super awesome and full of fun costumes.
Fact: Don't even ask me how many times I have listened to Taylor Swift's new CD Red. Don't even. No shame.
Fact: I often travel all by myself. I have flown by myself so many times, that the couple of times I have been with people, I didn't know what to do with myself. Do you make constant conversation? Do you sleep on each others' shoulders? What are the rules?
Fact: Tomorrow is a very special day on the blog *insert big, mischievous smile*.
Fact: The best three female roles in Broadway are as follows: Eponine from Les Miserables, Hodel from Fiddler on the Roof, and Christine from The Phantom of the Opera.
Fact: I miss playing classical music on big, grand pianos. However, I don't miss the amount of time and effort that went into piano.
Fact: I often sing very loudly when I am by myself at home, which is a lot during the day. Hopefully, the neighbours can't hear . . .
Fact: I love the snow. Sorry, but I do.

No. 260 - A Little Fall of Rain


Eponine: Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius.
I don't feel any pain.
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now.
You're here, that's all I need to know.
And you will keep me safe.
And you will keep me close.
And rain will make the flowers grow.
Marius: But you will live 'Ponine, dear God above.
If I could close your wounds with words of love.

Les Miserables is one of my favourite theatre productions (that and The Phantom of the Opera). In preparation for the movie coming out in December with Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Amanda Seyfried, I have been listening a lot to the soundtrack. I think my favourite song from the play is A Little Fall of Rain sung by Eponine and Marius. Eponine is my favourite character in the play, but also the saddest. Anyways, the rainy weather today reminded me of the song. Here is a cover by Nick Jonas and Samantha Barks (who will be playing Eponine in the movie) at the 25th Anniversary Concert.
