When you have this conversation:
imcatandimsnappy: Babet�s footsteps moved a few paces away, and then he muttered, �Is that what Claquesous looked like, then? Ugly bloke.� imcatandimsnappy: aww! you could have at least made hjim pretty! lesmisloony: why would he cover a pretty face? lesmisloony: oh, wait! lesmisloony: because lesmisloony: HE'S SECRETLY ENJOLRAS imcatandimsnappy: no!!!!!! imcatandimsnappy: well, at least it proves that le cabuc could not have been clacky lesmisloony: that's TRUE imcatandimsnappy: hmmm imcatandimsnappy: YES! imcatandimsnappy: and it gives another side to enjolras lesmisloony: thereby making Enjolras slightly more interesting! lesmisloony: and explaining why I don't like Claquesous imcatandimsnappy: aww but now you won't like him even more! imcatandimsnappy: but at least claquesous had some love in his life lesmisloony: Monty? imcatandimsnappy: no!! imcatandimsnappy: grantaire!!! lesmisloony: ohhh imcatandimsnappy: if enjolras = claquesous imcatandimsnappy: grantaire <3 enjolras imcatandimsnappy: grantaire <3 claquesous lesmisloony: true lesmisloony: oh, and as Clacky lesmisloony: Enj would totally go raping in the night lesmisloony: and probably stop by R's house at least once or twice imcatandimsnappy: yes imcatandimsnappy: imagine is he was petit gervais as well??? lesmisloony: wait, who? lesmisloony: Enjsous? imcatandimsnappy: yes! imcatandimsnappy: there was a fic of it lesmisloony: well, obviously! imcatandimsnappy: oh my wow Thus leading to: Petit Claqujolras Oh yes.

Another conversation.. niot quite as outlandish this time though.

Oh yeah, it's much better for the forum to be completely dead. | ||||||
| Catherine |
I don't talk like that... Forgive me for not using capitals all the time in an IM conversation. I'm just contributing to the thread, I thought it was quite funny, if you don't, who cares? Not everyone has the same sense of humour. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
I don't use capitals on IM either, but forums aren't IM, and it's a pain in the butt to read a giant block of uncapitalized text with screen names attached. A lot of old LM fic consists of dressed-up chat logs formatted as stories, and it works because they read as stories and not as chat logs. | ||||||

Alright, next time if I post a conversation, I'll captilise it. | ||||||

...when you are at the Louvre, and you are the Rubens section, and you hate big overwhelming museums, and you've spend too many hours working there, and you are exhausted and incredibly hungry, and YET you cross the whole damn building to the other side, because you don't want to leave without saying hello to "La libert� guidant le peuple"... |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Heh, my friend and I wandered over half the Louvre looking for this. We couldn't find it and the employees were completely unhelpful, so we just wandered back into the hall of huge paintings and got another tourist to take our pictures in front of Liberty Leading the People.
How's Paris, by the way? I'm jealous--I want to go back so badly. |

| bigR |
Allright, you win.
Paris was great, as always. But short. |

YKYOWLMW...
Your drama teacher is talking about people playing roles for a long time. He says, "Okay, does anyone know who was the first--" And you immediately say, "Colm Wilkinson."

I do that all the time, sometimes out loud, and when someone says they think I missed a line/got a word wrong, I pull the libretto out of my backpack, open it to the right page and point to the exact line, all without looking. People tend to avoid me after that... -You dress up as one of the characters from Halloween, and when the really clueless girl in your English class asks what you are, all your friends look from you to her in horror, then scream, "She/he's (character)!" -You bring the music book for your instrument to orchestra pit practice for another musical and have your entire section playing it within two minutes -You've memorized said music book -You've stayed up way later than your parents would let you normally because you just had to finish the CSR once you started listening to it -You nearly boycott the school library for only having the abridged edition of the brick, and proceed to complain about that fact to everone who will listen -Your parents tell you to get a life -When you're really bored, home alone and it's raining, you get into an Eponine costume from a previous Halloween, go outside and sing "On my Own" and no one in the neighborhood thinks this is weird -You read a newspaper article about a new, unfair policy at a school you used to go to and one of your old friends is talking about how much he wants to rebel, and you decide to refer to him as Enjolras and the principal as Javert and the next time you see your Les Mis fan friend from that school, you tell them this and the two of you laugh for ten minutes, almost causing you to be late for something |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
I think these exact same words came out of my mouth when I was younger. Seriously. I'm having intense flashbacks to being fifteen. [PS. Keep that Eponine costume. Surprisingly enough, it comes in handy. I've worn it to two Halloweens and one themed party.] |

Your homework is to research Robespierre, and while everyone else is busy copy and pasting from wikipedia you're flicking through the Brick and Ninety Three for quotes about him. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
YKYOWLMW... you think that's the most exciting homework assignment ever. |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
YKYOWLMW...
...your brother gets assigned a paper on Robespierre and he sends it to you for revision because "you like that Les Mis, French Revolution type stuff." ...you worm your way into a French class you're wretchedly unqualified to take, because it's about the year 1830 and you want it like burning. And it's an excuse to finally read Hernani. By the way, eponine5, see if your library has a copy of The Terror by David Andress. I'd recommend it over Simon Schama any day. |

I'm not really Les Mis obsessed compared to everyone else on this board, but this is how people off-line know I'm obsessed:
Me: Netflix keeps putting off sending me this movie! I'm so annoyed! Friend: What movie? Me: (slightly embarassed, because I know they don't approve of old movies) Oh, some old version of Les Miserables. It's an old black-and-white version. Friend: Oh my God. Me: All in French. Friend: What? Me: And it's five hours long. Friend: (pause) you should be GRATEFUL they haven't sent you this! |

-You get extremely annoyed when you see that the only LM film they have in HMV in the 1998 version, and spend 10 minutes ranting about it. - Then you spend ages in Waterstones flicking through the Julie Rose translation and quoting to your friend, (even though you have the same translation at home) who hates reading and then says "Isn't that the book of that film you saw in HMV? Why are you so obsessed with that book?" |

| lesmisloony |
I'm sick.
I started trying to sing Come to Me this morning when I woke up. I wouldn't advise that on a sore throat. My roommate gave me a lot of WTF looks until I finally gave up. Still, it was totally worth the extra lozenges just to be able to have that moment. |

...when your friend tells you about an actor she loved in a local production of hers, and, having never heard of him, she sends you a recording of him singing a song that isn't from the show. After two bars, you know what character he played even though she didn't tell you.

You registered for Les Mis, and only then did you see there's more. | ||||||

Oh yes, I did the same, I'm afraid!
YKYOWLMW: - you go to see the dutch musical Tarzan and you see Hans Peter Janssens playing Korchak and you start shouting "he played Javert in Les Mis" *like Eponine in The Beggars* "It's Javeeeert"...without actually having seen him as Javert..

Because the cast is currently AMAZING. I've seen it loads, but am always a bit disappointed with the cast, but this cast is just brilliant. And Combeferre is a bit hot. |

I need to see that cast. I measn I've seen all of them cept Valjean, but gosh darn it they're awesome. If they're still there by summer (unlikely but I'm keeping my fingers crossed, I'm so going. With someone. If she's still going to Paris) | ||||||

Re-reading the Brick, you realize that �ponine kicks ass in the Plumet Attack, and she isn't that annoying you remembered. I have read too many badfics and have seen too many hysterical Eppiboppers. They scare me more than our fanatic priests. She deserves better admirers than some emo 14-year-old girls. In the second Gorbeau action scene, you get angry because nobody followed Valjean. Hey, he wasn't that far! They could totally follow him (and we could have another big night chase...). |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Your French teacher, when explaining the details of an essay: "And if you want to use a work about Paris that we haven't studied in class--for example, if Orestes wanted to cite Les Mis�rables--that's all right too..."
This is probably a direct result of me hijacking my half of a ten-minute oral presentation on Les Halles to talk about 19th century urban poverty, barricades, cholera, Saint-Merry, and Victor Hugo. And all the gross morbid stories about the Cemetery of the Innocents. |

Your watching SNL and when they have a fake french guy name Jean K Jean you immenditly think JEAN VALJEAN! Its a parody of Les Mies. Of course it not and it a a rap song about Sarah Palin. (Which was too funny) |

YKYAOWLMW-
- Your friend assumes that if a character in your sketch book has sideburns, it's Javert. - You created a historically sound first name for Javert... for the sake of RP.
- You once plotted out how a modern day Les Mis could act out... out of thin air. -You take french, JUST to learn how to pronounce the character names. |

You then proceed to get lost in game!Paris but find the convent wall and a nearby lamp... which inspires you to flip out again. But I can't figure out how to defeat Napoleon! I'm getting frustrated. |

...You noticed Pip and Jean Valjean's strikingly similar childhood while reading "Great Expectations."  It's the truth, though. According to the brick, Valjean was raised by his sister and never knew his parents...basically, the same as Pip. Which came first?
|
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Great Expectations, but only by a hair. It was serialized in 1860-61, and Les Mis�rables was published in installments in 1862. No real possibility of plagiarism or influence, since LM had been in the works since the 1840s and the parts that center on Valjean are among the first that Hugo wrote. |

You joined just to post in this very thread. Which probably means you have no life. *cough me cough* You volunteer to write an essay about why Les Miz songs are a successful way to guarentee sucess in political campaigns. "M'sr Social Studies teacher, no, no. You didn't do anything wrong. It's not you, it's me." You're known to lug a "dictionary" around. |

- You beg your boyfriend, who you took to Les Mis, to write a report for HIS school about Les Mis in London - The Dutch Eponine us and trombone player in Les Mis even talk about you and share their information about you (a fan)... (Yup, that really happened During premiere in Carr�, Amsterdam )

(unfortunately it is not on a Les Mis-related topic.) - You try to memorize the Dutch, English, French and Swedish lines to the songs. And you desperately want the albums in more languages than those. (I refuse to listen to the German one, though [A]) - Your French teacher asks you to tell the class what Les Mis is about, instead of doing that herself. - You watch a Charmed episode over and over again, because 'Les Mis' is mentioned in it. The episode itself is not that interesting. |

Is it really that much? It might be cheaper to fly to Paris when it's on there... For me getting there and back is �2-3 on the tube. *runs away* |

For me it is 100 pounds for flight, then another 50-100 pounds for hotel and then i still have to eat. It's not nice to live in The Netherlands when so many good musicals are on West End! | ||||||

If you go to a matinee and book your train tickets online a long way in advance surely you could get it cheaper than that? |

In History class, when your teacher confuses Marianne with an assumption that it's the Queen of France, your first thought is: Enjolras wouldn't approve. And you tell him so. |
||||||
| Disney-Bway27 |
Well,
In English, we're writing an essay comparing three of Charles Dickens' works. YKYOWLMW... -You compare Sydney Carton's experiences in A Tale of Two Cities to Eponine's. -You compare Pip (Great Expectations) and Jean Valjean. ["They both had a single person in their lives that completely changed the course of the rest of their lives--for Pip, it was Miss Havisham, while for Valjean it was Myriel."] Then again, that might just be how much of a lit geek I am. I also compared Ebenezer Scrooge to Don Quixote. |

Same here for my French oral. Though I think I messed up. She asked all these question's she'd promised not to asked and of course I knew the answer, I just didn't know the words in French.

You're sitting in a French revision class, staring at the big map of France on the wall, when you spot Toulon. A little way above it, you spot Digne. You then spend the rest of the lesson plotting Valjean's possible routes through France to Montreuil-sur-mer. |
||||||
| MariekeLovesEnjolras |
YKYOWLMW...
- Your history teacher asks "What happened in 1815?" (aiming at Napoleon's defeat), you say, all excited, "Valjean was released!" to a friend.... - Your history teacher then says "What did you say?... Oh wait, no it's NOT about Valjean's release.." then mumbles "poor girl.."! |
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Was Montreuil-sur-Mer even on the map? It's a tiny town... near �taples (which is probably also too small to be on the map), in the same region as Arras and Calais. |
||||||
| mezzogeek |
Nah, it wasn't, but I estimated I've seen pictures, it looks like a beautiful little place
|
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
Yeah, it was really bizarre wandering around there and trying to imagine anyone starving and destitute and driven to prostitution--it was such a stiflingly cute town.
On the other hand, Fauchelevent's cart crash was exceedingly easy to imagine, since I almost got run over by my own wheeled suitcase while dragging it down the Cav�e Saint-Firmin. Think really steep and unevenly paved with cobblestones. (Yes, YKYOWLMW you have been to Montreuil-sur-Mer.) |
||||||
| Gargamel |
Let alone if you've lived in Paris, close to Montreuil sur Mer, and Digne, and that of course you've been to Paris, Toulon, Digne, Montreuil sur Mer, Arras, all of them dozens of times... but those cities are always linked to Les Mis�rables in your mind, and for example every time you see the Pont Notre-Dame, you think it is where Javert jumped in the river, even the 100th or 200th time... 
|
||||||
| Orestes Fasting |
I've been to Paris twice and the "En cas de noyade" signs on the Pont Notre-Dame always made me laugh.
If Montreuil (and Digne and Toulon etc.) were all within a few hours' train ride I would've visited them all multiple times, but unfortunately they're an eight-hour airplane ride plus a train ride away, so it would get kind of expensive to take weekend trips. But I just applied to study in Paris next year! And then the obsession will really commence.
