"i can't wait forever" is all that you said before you stood up

▼ First off, new LJ header/theme! I wanted to do an entire new layout, but then couldn't find one I liked, so in the end I stuck with the old one with a new header. But it's there, anyway.

▼ On the job hunting front, I still do not have a job. I do however have an interview on Tuesday, and I unexpectedly had an interview today, so that's something.

▼ My little brother on the other hand has his college graduation this week and then he's flying to California for a job that pays about $100K per year as a starting salary. Not that I'm blindingly jealous or feeling like a failure in comparison or anything...

▼ Apparently I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo this year. I'm not entirely sure why; I don't even have a clear concept in mind, much less a story. All I've got so far is "It might be cool to try to write high fantasy for once", and that's ... virtually nothing. So there may be meltdown posts come June. You've been warned.

▼ I'll put up another 100 Things post sometime tonight.

007. "You And I", bare: A Pop Opera

"You And I", from the off-Broadway production of bare: A Pop Opera, as sung by James Snyder and Matt Doyle.

What we have is perfect.
Then we'll tell my mother?
Let's lay off the crack.

And now we have a song that's mostly just fun.

"You & I" is the second song in bare. And while the first song ("Epiphany") introduces one of the main characters (Peter) with a heavy dose of Catholic-inspired sexuality angst, "You And I" introduces his love interest (Jason) with a fun, flirty song that also introduces one of the main conflicts of the show: Peter wants to come out of the closet and Jason doesn't.

Two main moments I want to point out here: Peter's snarky response to Jason shooting down the idea of auditioning for the school play ("And as for 'acting's not my thing', it's obvious it's something else"); and Jason's hilariously douchey and narcissistic way of ending the argument.
