I'm new to this forum and this is one thread that totally caught my attention.
Oh yes...I'm totally obsessed with Les Miserables, similar to many of you here. Here's why... 1. I named my little girl Eponine, after my fave character in the musical. I'm full of admiration for her strong character and undying spirit, and I definitely want my girl to be like her when she grows up.  People who are theatre-goers come up to me and say : "Oh my, you must be totally obsessed with Les Miz!".
2. I was depressed for 2 months after watching the musical and so badly affected by it. It has been almost 15 years since I last watched it. Till now, it still brought me to tears whenever I recall the scenes from the musical. 3. I've listened to the Les Miz international cast CD hundreds of times (maybe thousands!), more than any other CDs I've owned in my lifetime...and still listening! Just doesn't seem to ever get sick of it! 
4. I could sing and memorize the lyrics of all songs in the musical. |

So you want her to be a toothless, obsessed and delirious thief, who sends young innocent men to their deaths? |
||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Dearest Fantine.
We all know how delusional this poor woman must be. Rubbing it in her face is moot. Please, God, let them call this child Nina. |

| lesmisloony |
I don't entirely agree with your characterisation of Eponine either, but I dig that you named your kid that... she can play with my future non-existant daughter Cosette.
You should definitely read the Book, though, iluveponine. It's even better than the musical. By about nine thousand percent. On topic time! YKYOWLMW... you force yourself to write a oneshot through a frustrating case of writers' block, and once the entire thing is finished you realise you've completely screwed the timeline. So you delete the entire thing and start over again. And then you end up doing about an hour's worth of research on when the Cimetiere Montparnasse was established, when the Boulevard du Montparnasse was named so, which arrondissement is called Montparnasse, and basically trillions of other random details in relationship to all things Montparnasse. And then you see Catherine's picture and laugh for about four full minutes. And daydream through German class about how cool it would be to get off of a train and be in the Gare Montparnasse... I... am going to take a nap now. |

YKYOWLMW...
You have a dream that they made the musical LM into a movie and it was AWFUL. When you woke up you were still ranting. 
|
||||
| Vanessa20 |
What was so awful about it? Do you remember? | ||||
| bare24601! |
The only scene I remember very clearly is the Finale song, which for some reason took place in a church. Fantine was played by Jessica Simpson (  ), with her hair blown out like Farah Fawcett, and Eponine was Ashlee ( ). The camera panned out over the pews (they were at Jean Valjean's funeral I assume) and then it showed the two girls sitting close on a pew staring straight at the camera and singing "Take my hand and lead me to salvation", very bubblegum pop-esque. I woke up right after that. I'm actually thankful I can't remember anything else.
|
||||
| lesmisloony |
Did you wake up screaming? |
||||
| Orestes Fasting |
YKYOWLMW you see the words "wake up screaming" and your brain automatically fills in "My teeth are black, my hair is frizz..." | ||||

YKYOWLMW
You have Les Mis dreams period. Yes, I have had them. I just can't remember them. |
||||
| lesmisloony |
I had a dream once that I was playing the piano for Montparnasse in one of the practice rooms... but he just kept checking his teeth in the mirror... and then Eponine was calling him on his cell phone (which was a pink Razr  ) and he gave me a string of plastic pearls and left.
*shrugs* |
||||
| Tenalto |
A Razr's the closest a cell phone gets to being a knife! Teeheehee.... |

| lesmisloony |
YKYOWLMW... every time you go to amazon.com and they "have recommendations for you" you click "not interested" on everything that isn't LM-related just to confuse the robots, no matter how much you actually want some of those things.
And then every time you see something that *is* LM-related you either click "I own this" or add it to your wish list. It's fun cos the bot doesn't understand that it's Les Mis-related things that I want, so it keeps giving me recommendations for Broadway things, classic novels, and old movies... |
||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
I love the Amazon bot. It knows me really well. It keeps giving me all these Sondheim recommendations. And oodles of Sinatra. It makes me happy. | ||||
| lesmisloony |
It partially terrifies me and partially infuriates me. Because half the stuff they dredge up is something I never knew I wanted until that moment, and then suddenly I'm dishing out another twenty bucks for something I could have lived without the day before... *grumbles* | ||||

Except whenever I listen to One Day More now, I'll expect Enjy to come out saying "Yo, yo, yo" Oh flippin' eck. |

Wow.
That's all I can say. |
||||
| Paula74 |
It's a parody from the annual BC/EFA Easter Bonnet benefit...I just checked with a friend who was there. | ||||
| Tenalto |
Hm. That was... something. I couldn't understand half of what they were saying, but... was Eponine being sung by a guy? If so, I hate him because he was singing in that range better than I can. Oh, the curse of the alto.... | ||||
| bare24601! |
YKYOWLMW, you're reading an SAT guide book and it says to prepare for the essay section, find a literary work and plan on using it as an example, such as Romeo and Juliet. You tell yourself no matter what the essay question is, you will find a way to related it to the book LM. And you do. =) | ||||
| EponineMNFF |
I did that! I used Les Mis as one of my references and I did pretty well too. They're impressed if you can discuss the novel well. |
||||
| musical4eva |
When told you can (loosely)base your GCSE creative writing essay on another novel/film you convinced yourself Les Mis would be a good idea until you realised that
1) It would take waay to long. 2) You would ruin it because you suck at English. |
||||
| Catherine |
I'll tell you all about my LM related dream. It was weiiiird. So I was watching Les Mis, and I was right at the back with my mum and all of these lads. It was in the prologue methinks. Then, suddenly the safety curtain went down and the orchestra started playing Look Down. So me and this complete random stranger started singing the Whore Duet (Well, what else do you call it?) starting from "What dya think you're at?" to "Something's gotta give". But the pimp's bit was missed out interely for some reason. (I was the old beggar woman, if you're interested. shows how much I value myself in my dreams, lol). Then I dreamt I was sitting in row BB, but there were 5 seats instead of 3, and all these guys kept kicking my chair. I fell over, and Eponine laughed at me (the ultimate low) then it went really weird and I dreamt I was dropping giant pencils on everyone.
I have very strange dreams... |
||||
| EponineMNFF |
Hahahahaha nice dream. Maybe you were dropping a giant pencil on Eponine for laughing at you?
That reminds me of that Spongebob episode when the pencil falls into the water and they draw pictures that come alive... Jeez. I haven't watched Spongebob in years and I still remember that.
YKYOWLMW... You're preparing for the AP English Language exam and the teacher recommends preparing some books to discuss in essays if necessary. Me: "Do they have to be originally written in English?" Teacher: "No, why?" Girl in class: "Because she wants to write about Les Mis." xD |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Dude. I made a five on my AP English exam and I'm pretty sure it's because I wrote about LM. With conviction and tiny details.
I asked that same question. |
||||
| EponineMNFF |
I wrote about it on my SAT essay and did really well. Hahaa. Go us! | ||||

YKYOWLMW... your little sister is complaining because everybody is teasing her for being short and you start singing "Little People" to her. She is not amused... but you are

Hi fellow Mizzies!
I'm new here and I think I'm clearly obsessed. I have many obsessions - including Wagner - but Les Mis is since I was ten. It began with some animated series, then the book, movies and finally the musical. I'm 26 now. Well, I often dream with Les Mis, too.
My last dream was something about the barricades, but the barricade boys were my former friends from the University. We were in the school and we built a barricade. I remember that later I escaped and somehow turned into JVJ, then I went back to Toulon and met Javert - and I felt I'm at home at last. It was a bit confusing dream.
I'm a big Valjean/Javert fan ,so I search and read every story about them. I'm writing one, too. I know Loony from fanfiction.net. (Please, continue the story of Richard ValJordan... and Inspector Norman Bates. *big eyes*) Br�nnhilde Valkyrie First Class Daughter of Wotan, Bride of Siegfried |
||||
| lesmisloony |
Squee!
Do not worry. Richard Valjordan is the Absolute Next LM-Related Thing I will do. And! Welcome to MdN! |
||||
| Brunnhilde |
Thanks 
And when will come Liam ValNeeson?  I just love your writings.
I really want see the miniseries (for Emo!Eponine and Very Snape-like Javert), but they aren't available with English subs... and I only know a few words in French, like "Libert�, Egalit�, Fraternit�", "guillotine", and "citoyen". Last night I had again a Les Mis dream. That is the punishment for reading "As Lucifer Fell" yesterday evening.
OMG, I was a little girl and I wanted something "let's fight all together against the bad guys", and I tried to turn the Th�nardiers to the Right Side. It was funny. The Madame was nice and she wanted to join me. Then I visioned Valjean and Javert kissing in some Dark And Melodramatic Place. I think I shall not read slash before sleeping.

- You took Psychology because they study the Brick and you wanted your extensive knowledge to come in handy when it came to grades. (But then they changed the curriculum  )
- Your friend and you share two lockers, and one of them is known as the Les Mis shrine (complete with rambling about various characters scrawled in pencil, and a pamphlet from the musical) - Before checking your emails, you check Abaisse, MdN, Official London Theatre and London Musicals Online (to see if there have been any casting updates) - Your friends are so sick of hearing about the show that you promise them that if they go to see it with you, you'll pay |

You know when...
You are watching the TV and see an ad for a TV show about the most stern jail in the USA and then it mentions that "It has the last Chain Gang" and in your mind you sing 'He's a convict from the Chain and he's been ten years on the run' |
||||
| Brunnhilde |
You start to think about a small talk between Valjean and Sirius.
Sirius: 12 years, and proud of it! Valjean: That's nothing, brother. I've had 19. Sirius: But Azkaban is way worse than Toulon. There are... dementors! Valjean: Dementors? Don't make me laugh! There was Javert! Sirius: Who is he? Valjean: Think that Voldemort fell in love with a female dementor and she brought life to him. Or better... imagine Snape with sideburns. Sirius: *horrified* Okay, you won. Well, I always thought Sirius' prison number was 24601... and the stupid film makers didn't do it. |

You're sorting papers at your place of work when your supervisor gives you a few more things and says, "Add them to the pile." You automatically think, "Add it to the stack, here among the sewer rats a breath away from hell." And you haven't listened to Les Mis in months. | ||||

Continuing on the Harry Potter note...
You know you're obsessed when one of the main characters in your Harry Potter fanfic's name is Colm. xD I tried so hard to give him a different name, but after calling him Colm in my head for so long... well... *sigh* Nobody's noticed yet though, except my beta. <.< >.> <.< Ssshhhhh. |

This was from ages ago but...
YKYOWLMW.... You've just got off the plane into Paris, and you have to wait in a huge queue to get to the passport checking thing, and you're staring at this random French woman in front of you's suitcase cozs you swear the little label says "63 Rue de Cosette". You spend the whole queue craning your neck (and trying not to look like a freak) trying to read it. Turns out it was something like "Rue de Coette" or something. =[ |

You are looking at a picture of Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and realize that he has sideburns and dark blue uniform, and start to giggle. http://noredhel.deviantart.com/art/Hvorostovsky-and-Villarroel-76995957 I did the picture, just cutting it out with Print Screen from a youtube video. He is a Russian baritone, and he could do a great Javert, I think. He has gorgeous voice, is sensitive, cold and passionate at the same time. And plays tragic characters in almost every opera. OMG, I'd like to be the girl on this pic. (It's from the London 2002 production of Verdi's Il trovatore and the Russian Angel is playing Count di Luna. I'll never understand the idiot hussy who wants the tenor and not him.) |

You make Les Mis sims to fill the lack of them and after making Cosette and Eponine (becasue they are the easiest ones to do) you decide it's time for Montparnasse becasue that was the charicter you most want in your sims then go insane because you can't do it right and then get sad... When you have a fight with yourself when you found out that Kanbe Miyuki was cast as Eponine in Japan a year ago about wether it was a good or bad thing (I love her as Sailor Moon in the Sailor Moon Musicals...) and then like her even more when you see a picture of her in costume only to be dissapointed when she pulled out because of medical reasons |

| Brunnhilde |
YKYOWLMW
you are seeing a wonderful Die Walk�re, and while Wotan sings "Leb wohl, du k�hnes, herrliches Kind" you think at Valjean and Cosette. Not to mention this Wotan was really Valjean-ish in look! I'll upload a photo when I go home. In the dressing room, he was in white shirt, tuxedo pants and he has half-long, very fair hair. He's Finnish. No, Br�nnhilde was not Cosette-ish. Too bad. |

| lesmisloony |
Every time you mention Wotan I get confused.
*sad, sad little fangirl* |

| Brunnhilde |
Why? What the hell has this... thing to do with Wotan/Odin?
Here he is.
I askjed him where to find Walter Fink, (the bass) and he said: "Hunding ist tot". OMG better than "Zed is dead, baby, Zed is dead". |

I'm bumping this thread because I love it.
YKYOWLMW... One of your favorite moments was when you found out you have the same last name as an actor in Les Mis and from then on ponder a plan to get him to think you are related so you have connections. |
||||
| Catherine |
I like this thread..
When you're reading a story to this littlekid in Nursery about this rat called Rat who is misjudged. And I quote: Duck: Huh. Rats are always stupid Rat: Actually, I speak 3 languages: English, French and German Me: Its Marius in rat form!!! Little Girl: Huh? |
||||
| Brunnhilde |
YKYOWLMW...
You're re-reading Deathly Hallows, and Harry says: "We should barricade the school". Voldy speaks to the people at the barricade two times... and you hear the voice of the National Guard! And in the Elder Wand chapter Snape thinks for a moment he'll be REPRIEVED! (but then Nagini attacks, and our Severus can't sing the high note) When Fred dies (I'll kill you JKR), you begin to sing: "He is the first to fall..." |
||||
| lesmisloony |
I didn't *exactly* lol at this. It would more of a very ladylike SNORT. YKYOWLMW... you sit about knitting your little Doctor Who dolls and then think "...why are there no Les Mis knitting communities?" And then you start to wonder if you should knit LM finger puppets. Just for lulz. |

YNYOWLMW: You actually shouted, "Barricades?!" when you read that the first time....*raises hand* (good thing I was alone in the house). More Deathly Hallows stuff: One of the Gringotts guards is reffered to as Marius (page 529, US edition). And (spoiler warning if you didn't read the book) Ron and Hermione name one of their children "Hugo."
|
||||
| Brunnhilde |
And Harry's Big Speech To Voldy is almost the same as Valjean's Big Speech To Montparnasse.
* YKYAOWLMW... You are playing WoD and you begin to think: "If Mizzies were vampire,s which clan would they be in?" And I thought: Babet is a Ravnos Gueulemer is a Brujah HANDS UP Monty is a Toreador Claquesous is a Nosfie Th�nardier is a Nosfie, too... Madame T is a Brujah �ponine is a Malkavian ("Live inside my head") Gavroche is a Gangrel Fantine is a mortal Valjean is a Giovanni, and he tried to "embrace" Fantine, but we know the Giovanni's kiss is painful... so Fantine died Javert is a Garou - that's why he chases Valjean, and he's one of the Silent Striders (Gypsy, yay!) Cosette is a dhampir, so she's beautiful and able to recognize her kind Marius is a Ventrue Enjy is a Toreador The Bishop is a Vampire Hunter *evil* |

You are re-reading your fave drama Julius Caesar (100th time), and you try to make paralels between the Conspirators and the Amis. And Brutus makes an Enjolraic speech after killing the SOB dictator. (I'm a Brutus-fan. Oh, and I'm a Brutus/Cassius shipper, but that's really OFF.) |

YKYOWLMW - Um...
1. You spend hours writing another chapter when there's fifty other things you should be doing? And then can't bring yourself to feel guilty? 2. All your friends back away from you when you mention Les Mis. 3. You want to 'indoctrinate' anyone who hasn't heard of it and it takes an inhuman effort not to kidnap them and force them to watch TAC while you provide helpful subtitles like: 'Javert isn't really evil, you know'; and 'that guy's Montparnasse...I don't care that he's only got one line, he's IMPORTANT.' 4. You find yourself drawn to police stations. And you always think of Javert. |

You completely piss yourself laughing when reading this bit in Johnny and the bomb. So they've gone back in time. And I quote "In those - in these days they didn't lock churches" said Yo-less "But there's silver candlesticks (!!!) and stuff isn't there?" said Bigmac. "Anyone could walk right in and nick 'em" Oh God, I'm starting to relate everything to Les Mis now... Was still funny though |

You got infuriated with Pheonix Requiem because A. they killed off the Javert lookalike early on and didn't even seem to care. B. Everyone seems to think the new Javert lookalike is a bad guy. 5. French things make you squee |

YKYOWLMW...
You can't walk in rain without beginning to sing ALFOR. You write a HP-LM crossover. When you travel to your capital, you listen LM on train and you begin to listen Javert's suicide in time that he'll be screaming the final line when the train crosses the river. I did. Several times. |
||||
| Sythar |
That is so much win. YKYOWLMW - You start singing 'Stars' every single time you are outside and the stars are shining. No matter who you're with or where you are. You indoctrinated your whole family to A. Like Les Mis. B. Sing Les Mis. and C. Understand Javert Is Not A Villain. You indoctrinated your brothers to such an extent that the four of you performed most of the musical in front of friends and family several times. You directed, produced, and created the costumes. And played the entire female cast and random students. You were listening to the Original London Cast and Javert kept making snide comments in your head after the lyrics. (Or is that a You Know You're Obsessed With Javert When... point?) You tried out for Eponine in a town so far away from your own that you would have to travel 2 hours either way to get there. And while auditioning, a young man trying out for a Student asked 'how many students are there anyway?' and you rattled off all nine (including Bahorel, thank you so very much) and only just stopped yourself from telling him what their characters are like. And you were disappointed when you didn't get a part. Even though you didn't live in the city, and would have to MOVE to be able to perform. |
||||
| Brunnhilde |
We should also start a "You Know You're Obsessed With Javert When..." thread. Really.
YKYOWLMW You are reading Colleen McCullough's Rome series and you giggle because Cato Uticensis is soooooo Javert-like. (Including he can't accept Caesar's pity, and... yes. He does it, too.) |

Heh. We absolutely should. I think I could come up with a couple of dozen... hundred... reasons. I love your sig line, by the way. However, I am never going to be able to think of that line of the musical in quite the same way ever again. YKYOWLMW ... People ask you who your favorite actor is, and you say Philip Quast. |
||||
| Catherine |
OK
YKYOWLMW... You go to this "masters of the House" thing coz it has former Les Mis people and Les Mis songs in it. It was quite good. I was hoping for some Confrontation or Javert's Suicide, but of course they didn't do that. They did all the generics, On My Own, I Dreamed a Dream, Empty Chairs, Bring Him Home, One Day More and DYHTPS. But I got to meet the OLC Little Cosette so that was cool. And also YKYOWLMW... You ask another woman in Masters of the House who was in the TAC who exactly she was so you could look for her when watching the DVD. (She's the one in the grey t-shirt behind the timpani drums at the very end if anyone's interested) One more YKYOWLMW... You find faults in the official London programme. OK, maybe I'm being picky, but since when was Javert's Suicide called Soliloquy? And The Waltz of Treachery was only called Thenardier Waltz, and Drink With Me was called Drink With Me To Days Gone By. I could have overlooked those if it didn't also say that in the Songs section, it says that Castle on a Cloud was in Montreuil Sur Mer. What?! So Cosette magically teleported to Montfermeil in time for Madame Thenardier? The whole thing stinks...

YKYOWLM When You realise that your exam candidate number is almost 24601, (6024) and get so excited about it that on every single piece of French Coursework you actually ended up writing 2460 and filled the back of your book with various bits of lyrics that you loosely translated instead of describing your daily routine.
Also YKYOWLM when you're probably going to fail your French GCSE for these reasons. |

When twenty-two out of your top twenty-five are from Les Mis.

You've never been to the top of the Eiffel Tower, but you have been to the rue Mond�tour. And the Paris sewers. And the church of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas. (No scolding. Heights make my knees go all wobbly; the first observation deck was quite enough.) |

| Brunnhilde |
But Orestes, there is a paternoster, or what's the English word.
YKYAOWLMW... You have two full recordings on your mp3 player and also a lot of different versions of your fave song (guess which). The two full recordings are sometimes changed, now I'm putting on TAC and PRC instead of CSR and OLC. |

You know you're obsessed with Les Mis when in your French class, you get mad at your teacher because he admits he doesn't know anything about Les Miserables besides the little he's heard from the musical.
You can tell this very early on though, because he states Javert was an "obsessed, religious-crazed man." The kicker though is he pronounces Jean Valjean as you would here in America. You wonder how such an ignorant person became a FRENCH teacher. So you end up letting everyone know detail by detail how the musical and book differ and how to properly pronounce names. When the same arrogant teacher announces you will be watching a movie, you somehow know before he says it, and when he pulls out the 1998 DVD you yell "NO!". |
||||
| Sythar |
Oh NO! Not the '98 film! *makes sign of cross*
YKYOWLMW: 1. You ride on the bus early-ish in the morning and you notice a man sitting across the aisle with sideburns and a swarthy complexion. You think... Javert! Than you notice a girl wearing an Eponine!Hat - and you think Eponine! Then you decide that the bespectacled you man talking to 'Javert' is obviously Combeferre. And as you pass through a tunnel, you realise that a gentleman close to the back of the bus looks like PQ - with Javert!Sideburns. It's about this point when you decide not wearing your glasses in the morning is great fun. 2. You were watching a little of Shoujo Cosette and you could tell which student was which (Okay, Okay... Combeferre and Jehan Prouvaire) before they were introduced. 3. You introduced Les Mis to a friend and they didn't connect with it - and it nearly drove you mad. Does anyone else have the problem that all your friends think your LM craze is nuts?? |

As the--ahem--resident LM movie collector, I'd like to point out that that is exactly why I love Shoujo Cosette. In the other movies you're lucky if the boys even have separate personalities, and there's almost no chance they even resemble the characters of the Book. |

My only matter with Shoujo Cosette is that Courfeyrac has brown hair and blue eyes. I always imagined him with black hair and dark eyes... but that's my own social problem.
Other Amis are perfect, except that Laigle has hair.
1. You think that Shoujo Cosette Enjy is the best Enjy ever. 2. You are so mazochist that you sometimes watch the 1998 movie, only to annoy yourself how bad Claire Danes is. 3. And how they made poor Javert OOC, but GR did all to keep him in his normal mode. If you watch him well, he's pretty book-like when they let him play free, and makes random OOC actions when the director has some "great" idea. But he is the only thing I like in that movie. He makes Javert really so tragic and respectable. And says LAWR.

--You take every opportunity possible to ramble on about certain aspects of Les Mis. --Your parents have songs/the plot/sections of the Brick memorized because you talk about it so much. --Your parents refer to your Les Mis converts as 'victims'...*looks around shifty-eyed* |

...when you're on the bus, on the way back to your campsite after a day at the Edinburgh Festival, reading the program, when you read a description of a production of Les Mis, saying it's 'set against the backdrop of the french revolution', and you find yourself shouting 'NO! WRONG! WRONG! IT'S SET YEARS AFTER!' in bus full of people. Your sister doesn't even need to ask what show description has offended you...

You just watched a 'Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em' episode (The Public Relations Course to be specific) and one of the students of the course started complaining about the instuctor.
When he called him a 'hypocritical sycophant' you sat up and took notice. When he then started complaining about his 'bourgeouis' father... yeah. You formed the opinion that he was Enjolras. And then when after Frank Spencer starts a fight all the other students pile (scrum!like) on top of Enjolras!Student... on one bed... Let's just say that you giggled manicly. A lot. |

YKYOWLMW...
You watch the TAC with friends. You force them to get up amd march during One Day More. It was fun... and erm.. they are now rather obsessed with certain Amis... 0.0 |

Oh! Also!
Well, this is kinda different, but... You know you've been talking about Les Mis too much when... You're playing this game with your friends when you have to do all of these weird things (e.g., hop around the room like a kangaroo) and my friend Hannah's was "Tell a joke in a French accent" And I quote Hannah: (in her own voice)A man walks into a bar... wait, I need to get in character (closes eyes) OK (in a crap French accent) Jean Valjean walks into a bar... Me: Yayyy!! |

I HAVE DONE THIS. We were in the second-floor lobby of my dorm, and I hopped up and started marching and tried to get my friends to join me, but just them someone walked in to use the snack machine and I ended up looking like a retard. |

Haha but the march is so awesome, you just can't not do it. | ||||

... when you're a member of a forum who're able to list 50 pages worth of why they're all obsessed with it.
