MariekeLovesEnjolras	YKYOWLMW -You reckon you'd rather have an appointment at 18.32 exactly than at 18.30... (Speaking about times and not years, obviously)
lesmisloony	YKYOWLMW you keep putting off making your Les Mis characters on the Sims because you want to make them Just. Right. And then you start to worry about how to go about it. Should you start out with the double quartette and try to get Tholomyes to knock up Fantine, then have Fantine "find her own place"? Should you start with Valjean and teenage Cosette? Should you just put all the barricade boys in one big house? It eventually takes you ages to get the looks of each characther Just. Right. and you find yourself really annoyed because you can't find any costumes you really like...

Augh, why do I have such a faily video card? Now I'm stuck when Sims1!Mizzies. Sigh.

NessaCosette	YKYAOWLMW You wait every Sunday because it's "Roommates Update Day". Going to church? What is "church"? You squeed today morning/yesterday night because there was two updates!
curlyhairedsoprano91	HEY NESSA! I know who you are! Welcome to MdN!
Alexia Dark	YKYOWLMW... You can't help but smile and sing along in your head when the accompanist plays Master of the House in Ballet. Every time a facebook quiz asks you your favorite number, you reply "24601!" Though I'm thinking of changing that to 'two-four-six-oh-waaaaanah!"
Marcellus	...when you see a big pile of junk and wonder when it will split in halves which start spinning.
NessaCosette	*waves* Hi, Soprano! I had to. Forum contains LM = Nessa must register.
Jaym	Haaay! I know you too! =D YKYOWLM when you're having this discussion with someone you don't know about which is better: Moulin Rouge or Les Mis. Unlike her you actually have arguments and when you run out of arguments you just say that 'Everything is based on Les Mis.' Which therefore includes Moulin Rouge. (And yes, that's an argument I stole from this topic.)
MariekeLovesEnjolras	*waves to Nessa* Hi, I guess we met as well (ok, that was SO off-topic )
Vanessa20	Random, slightly OT rambling Jaym wrote: 'Everything is based on Les Mis.' Which therefore includes Moulin Rouge. (And yes, that's an argument I stole from this topic.) I've probably spent way to much time comparing Marguerite in Camille, Violetta in La Traviata and Satine in Moulin Rouge (all more or less variants on the same character) to Fantine in Les Mis. And I get irritated. Everything Marguerite/Violetta/Satine is, Fantine is so much more: Both hookers with hearts of gold: M./V./S. is a glamorous courtesan, Fantine becomes a pitiful streetwalker. Both give all for love: Check. M./V./S. for romantic love, Fantine for love of her child. Both "despised by society": M./V./S. is at least popular in her circle; Fantine isn't even a successful prostitute. Both become impoverished: Violetta may have to sell her jewels and furniture, but at least she doesn't have to sell her teeth. Both die of TB: M./V./S. at least dies happy in her love's arms. Hugo's Fantine dies in horror, and even in the musical she never gets to see Cosette again. And yet M./V./S. is so much more popular than Fantine. Literature buffs love Marguerite, opera buffs love Violetta and Moulin Rouge fans love Satine, but in most of the Les Mis fandom, Fantine-love is almost non-existent. I suppose it's because M./V./S. gives all for romantic love, while Fantine is "only" a mother. M./V./S. dies in the arms of a hot guy who looks like Ewan McGregor, Robert Taylor, Rolando Villazon, or whoever it is depending on which version you want. Fantine has to make do with the unsexy old convict who's going to raise her daughter. It's just like with the Eppieboppers. People are just too obsessed with romantic love. YKYOWLM when you think about things like this and post them.
NessaCosette	I've never seen Moulin Rouge, and most likely never will. LM to rule them all. Don't forget to add Mimi, although she never was a whore... but she was the maitresse of some rich baron. YKYAOWLMW: You dream with it.
Vanessa20	NessaCosette wrote: Don't forget to add Mimi, although she never was a whore... but she was the maitresse of some rich baron. I wouldn't forget Mimi (or Manon Lescaut for that matter, another similar "tragic-tart-with-a-heart" heroine), but I don't really count her as a variation on the Marguerite character. She's a little different, though Moulin Rouge rips off them both. But I have another LM one: YKYOWLM when you spend time comparing characters from other Hugo works to the LM characters. Like Blanche in Le Roi S'Amuse, a.k.a. Gilda in Verdi's opera Rigoletto. She starts out so Cosette-like: sheltered girl with an overprotective, secretive father, who manages to see a guy and fall for him without even talking to him, and then he comes into her garden when Dad isn't around and solidifies the love affair. But then she becomes more Fantine-like when the man turns out to be more of a Tholomyes than a Marius, and in the end she becomes almost Eponine-like when she irrationally gives her life for him while disguised as a boy.
NessaCosette	Sparafucile (dunno his original name) can also be a grandfather of Claquesous... although he's a honest assassin.
lesmisloony	YKYOWLMW this happens and afterward you're so excited you can't sleep. ...*facepalm*
MlleTholomy�s	You seriously contemplate typing in 'lol frenchboys' for the lulz in LJ's interests search. Lord, let me find help. . .
eponine5	lesmisloony wrote: YKYOWLMW this happens and afterward you're so excited you can't sleep. ...*facepalm* Screenshots? Ages ago I tried making a Les Mis town on The Sims. I spent so much time trying to make the lovely ladies look like the ensemble of my favourite cast...and then I gave up and tried using the film function to make a sim movie of the musical. I think I got about five seconds worth of shots for At The End Of The Day before getting bored. Good times.
Buff Daddy	When you are still talking to friends about the production you were in......8 years ago. Buff
mezzogeek	On lesmisloony's blog: Quote: Valjean was upstairs playing with an exercise machine. I have no idea why that made me laugh so much!
What you own	mezzogeek wrote: On lesmisloony's blog: Quote: Valjean was upstairs playing with an exercise machine. I have no idea why that made me laugh so much! Omg I was just about to say the same thing. Hehe we think a like! Yeah I was like WTF Lol!!!
MlleTholomy�s	When you squee at this: "MARJAN: Dutch form of Latin Marianna, meaning "like Marius."
Jagienka	You are reading Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series, and squee every time when Marius appears... And he does a LOT. And he has super huge and awesome eyesbrows. I just love that man. * You compare said series' heroes to LM characters.
Orestes Fasting	You see a bottle of Abbaye de Tholomies wine in a store and burst into inexplicable laughter. And would've bought it if you'd had enough money.
Ulla Dance Again!	When you make your own Les Miserables cast recording, consisting of various audio clips from different London/Broadway productions along with selections from the CSR and TAC.
mezzogeek	When your French teacher misplaces her copy of the Notre Dame de Paris cast recording, and immediately assumes she must have lent it out to you, because you're 'The one that's obsessed with Victor Hugo".
MlleTholomy�s	You spend hours, upon hours, explaining, and explaining to your friend what the story of Les Miz is about. You're sure not to leave out any small details, and after two hours, you're just getting to Fantine's part.
mezzogeek	I'm going to Nice, France for a week next month to study at a language school there. I was ridiculously happy today to find that to get to the school from our host family's house, we'll have to walk down a road called Boulevard Victor Hugo everyday.
Eponine23	YKYOWLMW... ...You run into your guy friend who worked as a concession stand person during the production of the show last summer and the two of you sing Lovely Ladies for the rest of third period...and you know the words better than him. (Our other friend was very disturbed by this. The look on her face was priceless.)
MariekeLovesEnjolras	YKYOWLMW... ... You go to see the Dutch Tarzan and bring your copy of the Brick to get it signed by Hans Peter Janssens
MlleTholomy�s	YKYOWLMW. . . Your grandmother doesn't know why you squee'd at 'Gaius Marius,' and 'Euphrasie Nalpas.'
lesmisloony	That JUST happened to me! The first one, anyway. And I freaked out even more because I've become a fan of BBC's Merlin, so I was like "...GAIUS? MARIUS?"
Jagienka	Guilty in squeeing over Gaius Marius. Dude was consul of the Republic seven times. Definitely not a dolt.
Forest	YKYOWLMW...your friend is talking about Les Mis to you as you walk into your house to put the burglar alarm off (so you're only half listening), and instead of typing in the correct code, you automatically go to type "24601".
MlleTholomy�s	YKYOWLMW . . . When you see a kid with a "Match of the Etoiles" (probably for the Canadiens, the only sport I follow is Tennis) sweatshirt, you immediately go "Oh, Javert!"
lesmisloony	YKYOWLMW one of your friends tells you that she read the wiki page for Les Mis so that she could better understand you. ...and was very confused that it said nothing about Montparnasse.
Lara	YKYOWLMW... In Latin class, you are to write a poem about a random historical Roman drawn from a hat and you freak out when your friend gets Gaius Marius. You even ask her to trade with you, even though you got Plautus and you totally had just performed A Funny Thing... Forum earlier that year.
NessaCosette	YKYAOWLMW You got some advertisement paper from a local hipermarket and there's a pan named "Bienvenue". You squee. You even begin to think about buying the pan, although you have a perfect one already.
lesmisloony	YKYOWLMwhen... you read the entire wiki page on Vidocq with rapt attention for no real reason. ...you see that he inspired Valjean and Javert and squee. ...you then see that he was hired by Gisquet and squee out loud. ...your brain starts writing fic about Vidocq and Javert facing off. ...this sentence practically sends you into a panic: "That same year, Charles X's abdication and the rule of a new monarch Louis Phillipe caused more insecurity and therefore more work for the police. An additional problem was the 1832 cholera outbreak and a revolt that erupted on June 5. Vidocq's Surete arrested dozens of rioters." ...you then find yourself at the Jack the Ripper page and start doing some quick math. No, Monty would've been about seventy and that seems a bit old for him to live to and for him to still be committing murders... but he might have had a son, you know, and that son might have... *babbles on*
Jagienka	YKYAOWLMW You re-read Livy, and when you reach the story of Mucius Scaevola, you squee. You know exactly why did I squee at this.
Christian_is_the_Lawr	YKYAOWLMW: 1. You became a policeman because of it. 2. You registered here because you just can't have enough of LM. 3. You are googling for something non-Mis (an opera), you find this, and you 1. can't believe it 2. squee 3. sing: "Do not forget my name! Do not forget me, 24601!" It's not LM. But for Hugo's sake. This cannot be an accicent. I googled that certain opera and found a lot of LM-ish pics. But this one is Teh Epic Win.
music is my life!!!	You've written out a potential cast list for both at school and youththeatre..... auditions in youth in a month ANDDDDD i sang IDaD like 20 times today, and my voice is going, and i've got a show 2mz and 2 on sunday ..... oh dear.... not clever belting somebody to love earlier :/ lol

Who's the Javert-looking guy in that pic? The shirtless one is Simon Keenlyside, I'd know his face anywhere (and WHERE can a person in the US find his new Don Giovanni DVD?!), but who's the other one? Just being a curious opera buff, wondering if I've heard of him or not.
MlleTholomy�s	YKYOWLMW. . . A guy says "2468" on tv, and your mind automatically goes, "No, that's not correct. It's '24601'." You then vocalize your thought, and when your Dad looks at you oddly, you just shake your head and walk off.
Christian_is_the_Lawr	Javert-looking guy is Sir John Tomlinson. I'm sure you know him. A great voice. And yeah, Shirtless Hottie is Simon. Best Don Giovanni ever. In this opera, I'd love a Keenlyside/Langridge OR Shicoff/Halfvarsson OR Ens OR Petrenko trio best.
What you own	^ I adore your siggie!!
Lara	YKYOWLMW... While you're flipping through THE WEEKLY WORLD NEWS one day at the grocery, you stumble upon this and HAVE TO BUY IT: (It's old. Like, from 2007.)
Quique	You know you're obsessed with Les Mis�rables when you get seriously depressed over not being able to see it again in the U.S. I'm considering grabbing my savings and going to London. I last saw it on Broadway in 2007, but with a disgusting orchestra. It has been 2 years too many. I need to do this.
Eponine23	YKYOWLMW... You decide to teach yourself French, dig up your dad's old textbooks and stop paying attention in all your classes and don't do homework.
music is my life!!!	when you keep singing IDAD and having dreams about singing IDAD and have dreams about rehearsals! XD or maybe that's just me... I've also started learning IDAD in German
bellaenchante	YKYAOWLMW you not only have read and reread and rereread ect. the brick in more then one language and start singing randomly whilst doing so you have every recording you can lay your hands on and have made your own recording with your friends when you've writing fanfic about eponine or other character that span over 100 pages... when you actualy took the time to read all of these posts...
MlleTholomy�s	bellaenchante wrote: when you actualy took the time to read all of these posts... That's a fun thing to do at midnight, lol.
ilovebway	...you get weird looks from people when singing On My Own or Bring Him Home on your way home from school. True story.
What you own	When you are driving (Well I wasn't..I was in a car...) An yway so when your in a car and you see a street named... Larkfield and you get really excited and think of Field of the Lark.
Despina Loves Snow	YKYAOWLMW: You dream being kidnapped by Patron-Minette, and you are happy. You know very well that every fandom can be mizzified. You find some pics where Enjolras is fat, you declare it's sacrilege, and you make this silly avatar. < In which Inspector Javert suffers martyrship for saying out the truth.
MlleTholomy�s	Whenever someone asks you what you did on your vacation, you answer: I saw a barricade! Only your music teacher gets the joke.
Bramblefox	YKYOWLM when you try to explain to the kids you're babysitting (ages 9 and 4) the basic plotline with Javert and Valjean (sans slash, you weirdos!). And when the 4-year-old points to the picture of Javert and says 'he's the law' under her own volition you have a conniption fit of happiness.
mezzogeek	When you insist on walking down this street every single day to town while you're staying in France, even though it takes 10 minutes longer than any other route ...and you take a picture of the street sign...
Catherine	When Elaine Page plays the OBC of "One Day More", you can tell it's the OBC straightaway and correct her (outloud, mind) when she says it's the OLC.
MlleTholomy�s	When you're going the supermarket, and on the way there you see a building akin to the Musain. You read the sign, which says "Le Cafe", and you squee.
UKDeer42	Quote: Catherine said: When Elaine Page plays the OBC of "One Day More", you can tell it's the OBC straightaway and correct her (outloud, mind) when she says it's the OLC. sounds like a very interesting story. Is it just a "worst case scenario" or have you actually lived it? As for me I know that I already know I'm obsessed with Les Mis with plenty of reasons why * You wake up and fall asleep to The Symphonic Recording on your iPod every day and become depressed when you can't * You find yourself constantly marching everywhere to the time of "Do You Hear The People Sing"? * You compare everything, yes EVERYTHING to Les Miz in any other stage show you see (a barricade could improve every stage show from Hamlet to Hairspray ) * You try to write your own musical which, even as preliminary ideas in your head, feels like a rip off Les Miz * You try to write your own musical and can only come up with variatons on Les Miz songs for its soundtrack * You try to write your own musical and think "Look Down" will go perfectly for one or more of the scenes * Everyone else tells you you're obsessed with it :s Yeah that's a lot there ^^; I think I'll go lie down for a bit now...
MlleTholomy�s	UKDeer42 wrote: * Everyone else tells you you're obsessed with it :s My friends tell me that I need help. Even the Les Miz obsessed ones. (NO, I'M DEFINITELY NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU, JAYA. MS. DUTCHIE.)
UKDeer42	MlleTholomy�s wrote: My friends tell me that I need help. Even the Les Miz obsessed ones. (NO, I'M DEFINITELY NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU, JAYA. MS. DUTCHIE.) That's the same with me. Even all of my friends who are completely obsessed with all sorts of musicals think I'm obsessed with Les Miz, especially when I was going on about "Eppie Bobbers" to them... Well they're mainly obsessed with Wicked, one of them who's always playing Defying Gravity whenever he's in range of a piano. These days it's mainly my brother who tells me I'm obsessed whenever he can find me singing a bit of the show (which is all of the time)
Muscialperformer92	You often ends singing the whole score, pretending you're playing your dream role (for me it's Marius) You find it very fun to sing "One day more"- doing all characters

I'm not discriminating when it comes to roles but I think I'd love to play Javert mainly because he suits my singing voice, is awesome, is increadibly awesome and people have told me I would make a perfect Javert already I did a similar thing to the second in a production of Oliver! I recently did: backstage before I came on with the rest of the chorus I'd mime to "Who Will Buy", hopping to the side and pretending to be each of the characters.

Sometimes it can be more fun, like you make some "additions" to the story - "A Heart Full Of Love" doesn't always have to be sung between Cossette and Marius now does it? But if you ever came together one day then yes it would be fun to put on your own version of it together! I support any casting arrangements of Les Miz as long as Susan Boyle or Jamie Pugh don't feature amongst them But even with my online friends it is annoying because they're all anime heads and are completely obsessed with Tokyo Hotel. At least they aren't Jonas Brothers fans but it would be better if they were Mizzies now, wouldn't it? We can't have too many Mizzies in the world, right?

XD Have we now managed that even you guys think we need help?
UKDeer42	Nope I only think you need help if you think your life IS Les Miz and you think you ARE a character from it, but otherwise it's fine.
lesmisloony	An actual excerpt from my history notes: Quote: The government of Louis XIV--absolutism -the king was put on the throne by God, so whatever pleased him pleased God, so it was absolutism and WHY DOES THE SLIDESHOW SAY BOSSUET AHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH BOSSUET (1627-1704) WAS A POLITICAL THEORIST HIGH IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WHO AGREED THAT THE KING HAS A MYSTIC POWER AND THAT OTHERS SHOULD DEFER TO IT -HE ALSO SAID THAT THE KING COULD CURE THINGS LIKE SCROFULA Anyway, about Louis XIV: Our professor put an outline of his notes up on a slideshow while he talked, see, and I never really read ahead, so that came as a shock. A good shock.

Proud Dork	Quote: The government of Louis XIV--absolutism -the king was put on the throne by God, so whatever pleased him pleased God, so it was absolutism and WHY DOES THE SLIDESHOW SAY BOSSUET AHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH BOSSUET (1627-1704) WAS A POLITICAL THEORIST HIGH IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WHO AGREED THAT THE KING HAS A MYSTIC POWER AND THAT OTHERS SHOULD DEFER TO IT -HE ALSO SAID THAT THE KING COULD CURE THINGS LIKE SCROFULA Okay, that totally beats what I was going to post regarding history notes and the Roman emperor Marius. ...it did inspire a friend to draw the character in 300 garb and screaming "THIS IS SPARTA", which was a bit disturbing to say the least.
MlleTholomy�s	Gaius Marius, ha. I squee'd so loudly when I first saw that.
Mistress	I apolgize if this has already been said: YKYOWLMW Once you find out that Judy Kuhn did the singing for Pocahontas, you immediately dig out your copy and start watching it again. Same goes for Lea Salonga and Aladdin/Mulan. You feel bad for Mel Gibsom while watching the "If I Never Knew You" outtake from Pocahontas because he sounds reeeeeeeeeally bad next to Judy Kuhn in the duet.

The same friend who drew him in The Costume later decided that it was a sign, and that it meant "Gay is Marius". *cough* Anyway, When, after saying "Grr" after a rant, you feel the instinctive urge to finish with, "-antaire!"

Orestes Fasting	You have eight copies of the novel: five different English translations, a French edition with historical notes in the back, a hilarious bowdlerized French edition, and the terribly shiny and annotated Biblioth�que de la Pl��ade edition which you treasure as if it were a small child. Yeah, um, I spent a lot of today reorganizing my bookshelves and was reminded yet again that I have a problem. In fact, I can't even fit all eight copies, the other Hugo works I own, and the various criticism/commentary/biographical books about Hugo and LM onto the same shelf. This is mostly because Graham Robb's biography of Hugo is enormous in hardcover, but it's still kind of embarrassing.
Vanessa20	Orestes Fasting wrote: a hilarious bowdlerized French edition Care to elaborate?
MlleTholomy�s	You cry when you realise that, oops, your Brick is at home, not in your bag. You sat through the three-hour "Marius" movie just because it was eerily similar to Les Miz, and then, when Marius left Cosette, you imagined that he died on a barricade. During the movie, you gave your Mizzie friend updates, and squee'd when they proffessed their love for each other, and raged when Marius left her. You seriously consider getting an autograph addressed to "Camille Enjolras", just for pure lolz. You simply have to go to that "Gavroche" cafe in the city. No exceptions. Then, you very well might go to Rue des crepes, just because it's modeled after a Parisian cafe, and omilawd, French people might be there. Your Les Miz things take up 12 disks. You buy the terrible '50's and '35 American versions, just because they're Les Miz. You seriously contemplate saving up to $200 dollars to get the ultra-shiny-and-annoted Pl��ade edition described above. You make up silly crossovers in your head--with no intention whatsoever of writing them. You beg your Father to let you go to Canada, so you can see French!Les Miz. Seeing as you live in NY, Lancaster!Les Miz is more do-able, even if it isn't French. *epic sob* You think that Dorian Gray is Courfeyrac in disguise. When you see "angle ABC" in Math class, you immediately stop what you are doing, and scribble down two geeky lines, which go as following: Who were the Friends of the ABC? They were a group that was meant to educate circles, but really rehabilitated squares. And as such, you fail epically at Math. I could go on, and on, bt I think I've provided that I don't have a life.
lesmisloony	YKYOWLMwhen you get an email from the Obama people titled "June 6th: It All Begins" and disagree strongly. In fact, June 6th: it all ends.

MlleTholomy�s	When your Father schedules a dentist appointment for you on 6 June, you proceed to gawk at him, and then, when he asks what's wrong, you scream that's it's Barricade Day, and the other people in the office chuckle quietly, and shake their heads. Your Father, of course, automatically assumes it's from "Lay Miserahbulles-or-whatever-that-thing-you-like-is-called".
lesmisloony	YKYOWLMWhen... the moment you work out how to create outfits and stuff in Sims 2 Body Shop you make an Enjolras outfit. Complete with sash. Now if only I could figure out how to export stuff...
Ulla Dance Again!	When the music of Les Miserables enters your dreams, whether you intentionally want it to or not.
music is my life!!!	^^^ speaking of dreams.... i dreamed a dream that i went to see he show in london with my school, except it was 2008 anyway, the prologue had no convicts or anyone, and in at the end of the day, there was a jutting stage so they were basically like a meter away from you! and i dreamed a dream was FUNNY!!! yet somehow, i was still crying at it. Then i had to get onstage to be part of the crowd at one point (fantine's arrest/lovely ladies ) Then! i woke up twas a good dream while it lasted too

Ulla Dance Again!	Oh, goodness. Now I just got an image of Grantaire saying to someone, "Gimme a chicken sandwich. And some waffle fries. FOR FREE!" In the dream I had, it wasn't even Les Mis related. My friend and I were in a car, and the radio was on. For whatever reason, he started to make advances on me and I said, "Um, buddy...I have a boyfriend." Then "The Confrontation" came on the radio, and I thought that the only way I could ward off any more advances from my friend was to sing along with Javert's part. And it worked.
GabrielleLaRue	-- Not only do you have cast recordings on your IPOD/Zune, but also school versions. --All of your friends know everything about it, despite their never seeing the show. --Three words: Les Mis ballet (Ahem...). --You know what Shoujo Cosette is. --You have translated episodes of Shoujo Cosette on an online translator. --You know what The Game of the Book is.

Eponine23	YKYOWLMW... Every time you type the word Mary, it ends up as Marius.
flying_pigs	You were in your English exam last week writing an essay on Hamlet and for some reason you were thinking about how the current cast of Les Mis was leaving soon. Then you ended up writing Marius instead of Hamlet and only figured out at the end when you were reading through!
Madeleine	YKYOWLMW You get a Wii for Christmas and create loads of Les Mis Mii characters. I had so much fun making them look as close to the characters in the Brick/my favourite actors as possible. Its very amusing going for a jog on Wii Fit and having Valjean/Javert/Enjolras/Courfeyrac/Combeferre/Montparnasse etc. jogging along next to you. Its even funnier when they fall over.
MlleTholomy�s	YKYOWLMW Whenever someone mentions "Corinthe" to you, (which, thankfully isn't a common occurrence), you display the characteristics of a war veteran.

Haha, I don't have Les Mis characters on the Wii (I have Russian Communist dictactors instead), but I have them as animals on Harvest Moon! There's Parnasse the sheep, Azelma the cow, and everyone else (Claque (Claquesous won't fit), Enjolras, Valjean, Gueuely, Babet, Fantine, Javert etc) as chickens
music is my life!!!	YKYOWLM when at a rehearsal, my thenardier said to me "I've never met anyone as obsessed with Les Mis as you are"
