Obsessed

I'm not quite sure how or when this happened. Maya let me listen to Seasons of Love in 9th grade and then gave me the best of rent soundtrack. I listened to it forever and ever and got a little bit tired of it, then I would start again in a month. Then, sometime this summer or something I found out that they were making a movie. So, I started listening to rent a lot more often: at the gym, studying, walking to class. I saw the commercials on TV and then I searched online and everything. Eventually I found their blog (the cast members regularly submit videos) and got hooked on that. Then, I finally saw it last wednesday (opening day) and cried and was amazed. I saw it again tonight and have decided I'm in trouble. I literally cannot get enough RENT right now, as Jesse was saying on one of the videos "It's just a screensaver for my mind. When I'm not really thinking of anything it automatically comes on like a screensaver." Except, I don't think of much else. I can see myself getting it on DVD and locking myself in the room for days crying and singing my heart out.

At first, I didn't know the plot at all. Maya told me a little bit of it, but I still didn't really understand it all. When it was all pieced together for me by the movie, I just fell in love. Collins' voice makes me melt and Roger is my favorite character. I can't pick a favorite song, it changes all the time. And, so many of the lines in the songs really hit me emotionally. ie. my new icon, it's exactly what I was looking for.

yyyyeah, back to that paper.
Love,
Franny
