First off....I have tumblr! :P But no worries, I won't leave Blogger for Tumblr. :P Tumblr basically serves the purpose of thwarting pure boredom, when I just feel like spamming or blurbing without feeling like I've wasted a lot of space. My main blogging purpose still remains on Blogger. :) here's the link, if you want to check it out, I haven't had the time to fix it yet since I'm still getting the hang of things:

And yes, if anyone asks, my url is an Eclipse reference. :P
Aaaand I want to share my newest indulgement!
My title isn't the start of a page-long rant, no worries. It's simply a reference to the musical, Spring Awakening. Now I've heard of Spring Awakening a long way back, it's just that I never had the time to listen to the songs, though I knew fairly well about the story. To put it simply, it's Romeo and Juliet with sex. Only Romeo doesn't die. :o shocker. The Broadway musical is actually an adaptation of an 1891 German controversial play by Frank Wedekind. Apparently the original play was banned for almost a century because of its portrayal of sexual themes, abuse and suicide. It was after all in the 1890's...who can blame them? :P
I got so interested about it after looking up Glee on the internet...after all, when I search for one thing, I always end up finding something totally new. :P Then I ended up with Spring Awakening, sometime during my Googling. Lea Michele, who plays Rachel Berry on Glee, actually originated the starring role of Wendla in Spring Awakening. Then, curious, I looked up the music. AND IT'S SEXX LOVEEEE. <3 :))
For one, my first exposure to rock musicals was Rent, my all-time favorite, but Spring Awakening...it caught the very angst of modern rock, and most of the music pretty much resembles today's rock, soooo hats off for that. :D I'd actually recommend the music to people who aren't much of musical fans, kind of like a taste of good musical theatre....just in case they thought musical theatre=HSM. :)) SA's music speaks more to my generation, people my age, which is just awesome. :D
I want to know more about the story of the musical itself though, reading the plot on Wikipedia doesn't give it much justice. I hope they do an adaptation sometime here in the Philippines, after all it's just ended on Broadway and is now touring across the US. Maaan, why is that every musical I want to see on Broadway, end their runs before I actually get to see them? :( Except for Wicked. Heaven forbid that show ends.
SA....my newest indulgement. :P One of my favorite songs from them, The Bitch of Living:
I recommend you check out Totally Fucked as well...it's like Fountains of Wayne meets Broadway. :P
