hold steady

So, I got Sim City 4 at Best Buy yesterday and I’m addicted. It’s almost embarrassing. Good thing I can only use it on PC’s and not my Mac or I’d be in trouble. WOO.

….. I can’t get into this.

Amanda Kathryn Revenaugh,

SERIOUSLY GIRL. I LOATHE YOUR GUTS. YOU ARE DUMB, YOU ARE SO DUMB, FOR REAL. I EVEN FOUND THIS SONG THAT SLIGHTLY EXPRESSES MY HATRED FOR YOU. HERE IT IS:

“GALINDA

(spoken) Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical:

ELPHABA
(spoken) My dear Father:

BOTHThere’s been some confusion
Over rooming here at Shiz:

ELPHABA
But of course, I’ll care for Nessa:

GLINDA
But of course, I’ll rise above it:

BOTH
For I know that’s how you’d want me to respond
Yes, there’s been some confusion
For you see, my room-mate is:

GALINDA
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe:

ELPHABA
Blonde.

GALINDA
What is this feeling?
So sudden and new?

ELPHABAI felt it the moment
I laid eyes on you:

GALINDA
My pulse is rushing:

ELPHABA
My head is reeling:

GALINDA
My face is flushing:

BOTH
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes!:Loathing
Unadulterated loathing

GALINDA
For your face

ELPHABA
Your voice

GALINDA
Your clothing

BOTHLet’s just say - I loathe it all
Ev’ry little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There’s a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It’s so pure and strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!

STUDENTS
Dear Galinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it? I don’t think I could!
She’s a terror! She’s a Tartar!
We don’t mean to show a bias,
But Galinda, you’re a martyr!

GALINDA
Well: these things are sent to try us!

STUDENTS
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We all just want to tell you:
We’re all on your side!
We share your:

GALINDA AND ELPHABA STUDENTS
What is this feeling Loathing
So sudden and new? Unadulterated loathing
I felt the moment For her face, her voice
I laid eyes on you Her clothing
My pulse is rushing Let’s just say:
My head is reeling We loathe it all!
Oh, what is this feeling? Ev’ry little trait
Does it have a name? Makes our very flesh
Yes: Begin to crawl:.
Ahhh: Ahhh:

ALL
Loathing!

GALINDA AND ELPHABA ALL
There’s a strange exhilaration Loathing
In such total detestation Loathing
So pure, so strong Loathing

STUDENTS
So strong!

GALINDA AND ELPHABA
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last ALL
And I will be loathing Loathing
For forever loathing Loathing
Truly deeply loathing Loathing you
My whole Loathing
Life long! Unadulterated loathing

ELPHABA
Boo!”

LOVE YOU, YOUR FAVORITE ROOMMATE MARY.

Elijah,

I miss you like crazy. All the time. Every day. I wish I could’ve seen you more. I wish you would’ve had a little longer. I know you’re in a better place, and I know you’re the happiest you’ve ever been, and I’m so happy for you. I just miss you is all. I can’t wait until I see you again. I know you’re watching over all of us. Keeping us all safe. I love you.
