Hi!
starting tommorrow, i will be unable to post anything on the blog for about a month *tear*. (i'm off to music camp)

anyway, i have recently come to the following conclusion (with the help of my sister's obsession with "Wicked"): Glinda (the "good" witch) was a backstabbing traitor, Dorothy was evil, and Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West), was horribly misunderstood and really cool! and everyone in Oz is very confused, very, very confused...
although this may seem extremely random, my sister recently got the "Wicked" soundtrack and has been listening to it most of the day. and i feel i must point this out: people are sympathizing with the wrong characters!
and i have a question for anyone who has read or seen "Wicked": who is the Tinman, really? (i think i know, but i'm not sure. since i have yet to read the book, which might be entirely different from the musical anyway. but at the monent that is beside the point...)
and does anyone know what the Wicked Witch of the East did to be considered wicked anyway? i am slightly confused...
and while we're on the topic, in the "Wizard of Oz" what did the wicked witch do anyway? i know she sent flying monkeys after Dorothy and her companions, but they were coming to kill her... wouldn't you send flying monkeys after someone coming to murder you in your own home...
i'm done now... for the time being...
okay, i do sound a bit obsessed at the moment... oh well...
i do belive i must read "Wicked" now...

see ya at Lord of the Rings!
