How Gay am I?

And as you read this, realize that I mean that as a kind of compliment...

So I had a dream last night once I finally got to sleep after 5 in the morning for no reason at all and in my dream I was proforming in a musical, playing the romantic lead. The musical was about a hot but nerdy young fan boy (played by me) who goes back in time to meet Maralyn Monroe and save her from a life of drugs and dissapointment. He succeeds in going to the 1950's and meeting a breath-takingly goregeous young brunette pin-up named Norma Gene who just moved to Hollywood to become a star. But he's allready too late to save her as she's left home and done nude photos and left a husband and had an abortion all before she got to that point. So me as the lead boy meets a much more dowdy and mundane girl in the 50's and she fals in love with him while he's busy following Maralyn around. Halarity and three-part harmonies ensue. I think that the best part of this whole thing (other than I got to play the cute boy) was that the whole play is improvised, music especially. We were just given our characters by the audience (a time travelling Fan-Boy, Maralyn/Norma Jene and a clumsy paper-girl) ten minutes before the start of the play so we could get into costumes and plan some kind of plot. That means that I wrote all those two and three part harmonies literally in my sleep. I feel silly and strangely proud and sad that I can't remember more of the music or how it all ended or why I dreamed this up at all. I wish that I could have recorded my dream and shown it to all of you, but this is the best I can do.
