HAMILTON!!!!!
Ok, so about two weeks ago I started listening to Hamilton and now I am COMPLETELY OBSESSED!!!!! You all need to listen to it. I'm serious; it's sooooooo good oh my goshness even if bits are a bit... explicit... anyways... The music is just soooo amazing and beautiful and sad and awesome and intense and hilarious and oh my gosh I can't even say how much I love it. I'm completely obsessed and I've memorized a few of the songs and I should probably stop talking because I could go on and on forever about its awesomeness; you definitely need to listen to it!!!!
Quick survey:
1. Favourite song: You can't make me answer that.
2. Least favourite song: Farmer Refuted (UUURGH SO ANNOYING)
3. Favorite character: Hamilton Laurens and Lafayette
4. Least favourite character: Samuel Seabury and Charles Lee actually nevermind Charles Lee is hilarious but Seabury is sooo annoying.
5. Wow I just ran out of questions this is a really sad survey: Yup :)
(April 23, 2016 - 7:19 pm)
I love Hamilton! I tell my friends that I'm not obsessed, but then they look at me like "Mhm. Sure. We all know that's true, yup." So, I guess I'll just have to accept my fate, right? Anyway, on to the survey!
1. Favourite song: Umm...How is this a question?!
2. Least favourite song: I'd say "The Election of 1800", because I find the part where Burr sings "Talk less..." To be very annoying. My ears don't appreciate it. However, zZI do like the rest of the song.
Or maybe my least favorite song is "Say No To This", Zjust because of the content.
3. Favorite character: Thomas Jefferson! He is just so hate-able and hilarious that I can't help loving him.
4. Least favourite character: Maria Reynolds. Y'know what I mean, right?
5. Wow I just ran out of questions, this is a really sad survey: I wouldn't have been able to think of anything else! There's not much about Hamilton that can be discussed in simple questions. It's much deeper than that.
(April 24, 2016 - 7:44 am)
What's up with all of those z's? It looks funny.
(April 25, 2016 - 6:45 pm)
@OtR, #4 & #2. Mm-hmm. I've listened to that twice...my head always hurts from banging my head on the desk in front of me. ("Stupid! Idiot! No! Are you kidding?! No! IDIIIIIOT HAMILTON REMEMBER ELIZA OH MY GOSH ARE YOU MAD?")
Say no more! We shall never speak of this again!
(April 25, 2016 - 7:37 pm)
1. Favourite song: I have like 46 favorites, but I really like Non-stop. <3 <3
2. Least favourite song: SAY NO TO THIS
3. Favorite character: ELIZA! she is so sweet.
4. Least favourite character: Maria Reynolds.
5. Wow I just ran out of questions, this is a really sad survey: HAMILTON IS THE BEST

(April 25, 2016 - 7:19 pm)
I MEMORIZE ALL THE ACTORS.
SAME^^^^
(May 3, 2016 - 5:51 pm)
The second time I listened to it, I ended up crying on the floor of my room in the darkness. it was more emotional the second time, for some reason.
I was depressed for about a day because I haven't seen it.
(I am officially relistening to it for the 11th time right now....I am on the opening song.)
(April 25, 2016 - 7:22 pm)
Can I just hijack your thread and start posting? Yes, yes I will.
(April 25, 2016 - 7:23 pm)
NOTE TO THE WORLD:
LISTEN TO HAMILTON.
I'm telling you, you'll get love for it. You'll get hate for it. But you will get NOTHING if you wait for it.
Wait for it.
Wait for it...
DA ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!!!
(April 25, 2016 - 7:25 pm)
Can I just repost a bunch of stuff?
This is what happens when you join a RP in which CBers go to New York:
Owlgirl: Yes! I will come! I will bring my CAPTCHA Micna, an owl, andAE Grace, who I am coming to appreciate more because of...well, the comparison to Umbrija, who...wait a second, where is she?
Grace: I may or may not have locked her in a broom closet.
We have a broom closet?
Where there's an AE, there's always a broom closet handy to lock somebody in.
Okaaay...I will pretend not to have been disturbed by that. Anyway, I am excited to be on this trip...I went to NYC once, but only for a few days. Oh...oh...I feel a song coming on...
Owlgirl: New York, New York...
Grace: New York, New York...
Micna: New Yrk, New Yrk...
All: It's a wonderful toooooooooown!
Owlgirl: The famous places to visit are so many, or so the guidebooks say. I promised Dad that I wouldn't miss on any, and we have just one-
Grace: *throws down sailor hat,"On the Town" poster, and NYC keychain* All right, enough Broadway stuff-
Owlgirl: Oh! And speaking of Broadway, when I went to NYC, I saw one Broadway show: Oscar & Hammerstein's "Cinderella." Will we see a Broadway musical-
*gasps*
*starts hyperventilating*
*jumps up and down*
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grace: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????
Owlgirl: HAMILTON!!!!!!!!!!
HAMILTON!!!!!!!
HAMILTONHAMILTONHA. MIL. TON!
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we HAVE to see it! It's only with the original cast in NYC! I have to see it!
Please, please, please, please, Abigail S, please, we MUST see it! Oh gosh oh gosh, my life will never be complete until I see it. Even so, by the time it comes to my town, it won't be with the original cast. it won't be with-
*sobs hysterically*
It won't be with LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA!!!!!!!!!!
*fangirls*
*fangirls*
*fangirls*
Please, we must see it! But not on a weekend, because Lin doesn't perform on weekends.......
*fangirls*
*screams*
*continues to hyperventilate*
WEEEEEEEEEEEEE MUSSSSSSSSST SEEEEEEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have listened to the soundtrack FIVE TIMES. And it's two hours long. Any questions about it, you ask me, I will answer it. I memorized the list of all forty-six songs. Start to quote it, I can fill in the blank. I have memorized "Alexander Hamilton," "You'll Be Back" the majority of "My Shot" and Jefferson's argument for "cabinet Battle #1"
PLEASE! WE MUST SEE HAMILTON: AN AMERICAN MUSICAL
*fangirls*
*fangirls*
*faints from exhaustion of all the hysterical screaming, sobbing, and fangirling*
*awkward silence*
Grace: Well. I...I would suggest you agree to her demands, or else she could be even more destructive than I am. And that's saying a lot, since I'm pretty destructive. I guess that, even more than the lunatic AEs, in the end, the fangirls are the most dangerous.
Motto of today, children: Never underestimate the power of fandoms.
**********************************
When Grace and Owlgirl are in a crowded room...
Grace: Owlgirl?
*looks around*
OWLGIRL?
Where are you?! (to herself) This is my problem with crowded places. Your counterpart is always running off.
OOOOOWLGIIIIIRL!!!!!!!!
Alright...
*takes deep breath*
EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICA'S FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCHMAN!
Owlgirl: (from the other side of the room) LAFAYEEEEEEEETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grace: Found her.
***************************
Ten minutes later...
Grace: Come ON! Again? Owlgirl, WHERE are you? (to herself) I want her to buy me some gummy bears...(louder) OWLGIIIIIIIRL!
This calls for desperate measures.
*grabs microphone*
How did we know that this plan would work? We had a spy on the inside. That’s right...
Owlgirl: *trapdoor in the floor flies open, Owlgirl pops out, knocking over fifteen people* HERCULES MULIGAAAAAAN....
Grace: *runs over* Great, found you. Now, I need you to buy me some gu-
Owlgirl: A tailor spyin’ on the British government I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it to my brother's revolutionary covenant I’m runnin’ with the Sons of Liberty...
Grace: No.
And I am lovin’ it. See, that’s what happens when you up against the ruffians...
Grace: Be quiet!
Owlgirl: We-
Grace: No.
Owlgirl: ...in-
Grace: TAKE A BREAK FROM HAMILTON!
Owlgirl: REALLY? Do you mean...
"Take A Break" from Hamilton song number twenty-six coming after Cabinet Battle #1 and right before my least favorite song in "Take A Break" in which young Philip reveals he’s got revolutionary potential, while Alexander, Angelica, and Eliza explore the possibility of spending some time together by also in this song there is Eliza played by Phillipa Soo and Alexander Hamilton played by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Phillip Hamilton played by Anthony Ramos which is kind of funny becasue Phillip is a nine-year old at this point and is played by an adult actor. Hey did you know that Phillip does this really awesome/cute rap? Do you want to hear it? Sure I'll start doing it...
Grace: That's not what I meant!!!
Owlgirl: (ignoring AE)
My name is Phillip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem
Just to show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes
But you can't write mine...
Grace: OWLGIRL!
I practice French
And play piano with my mother-
O. WL. GIRL. Now YOU'RE acting like the AE. I thought you were the one who was supposed to interrupt ME with pleas to be quiet.
*stops rapping like nine-year-old Phillip*
Grace?
What?
Do you know why I am acting so crazy?
*rolls eyes* Because you can't get over Hamilton?
That's about 80% of the reason.
What's the other twenty percent?
You.
ME? What do you mean?
I'm acting like this 80% because I must be a loyal fangirl. The other 20% is to give you a taste of your medicine.
A TASTE OF MY OWN MEDICINE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
"What do you mean" should be your new catchphrase. Anyway, I am doing this partly to give you a taste of your own medicine. You are always ranting about things that make no sense, and by the way, at least I am going crazy for a reason, for the sake of an amazing musical, instead of yelling about GUMMY BEARS and DESTROYING THE WORLD.
Excuse me? Gummy bears are a VERY important cause.
Whatever. That's not the point. I want you to have a feel for how I feel. If you apologize now, I'll turn it down...but I will not stop completely, at least for this thread.
*huffs* Fine. Sorry for annoying you and not stopping when you ask. Geez, happy now?
Relatively.
Good. Now please turn down the Hamilton stuff. Just talk less.
*grins evilly* TALK LESS, SMILE MORE...
Noooo! You agreed.
You didn't make me swear on the River Styx. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
The River....what?
Styx. Anyway, did I mention that part of the whole "taste of your own medicine" thing means never keeping promises?
UUUUUUUGGHHHHHHHHH!
I am not throwin' away my...shot!
I am not throwin' away my...shot!
Hey yo I'm just like my country I'm young, scrappy, and hungry, and I am not throwin' awya my...shot!
I must post and end this torture!
History is happening in Manhattan, and we just happen to be in the greastest city in the wooorld!
IN THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WOOOOOOOORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posting...
...Work!

Mwahaha that's exactly what I do to my parents: annoy them with Hamilton lyrics until they have to ban Hamilton until I finish homework!!!!!!!!
(April 26, 2016 - 6:46 pm)
Yay for the obsessed-with-Hamilton crowd! I, too, have fallen victim to its awesomeness.
1. Oh man. I'm biased in favor of the earlier songs because, like in other fandoms, it feels so much better to go back to the parts when everything was happy and sunshiney rather than the parts where all this bad stuff happens to your favorite characters. So I'll say "Aaron Burr, Sir."
2. Probably "Say No to This." I'd say "Farmer Refuted" but the part where Mulligan's like "tear this dude apart" cracks me up every time.
3. Lafayette and Laurens are tied for first place because one is awesome (and so didn't have to die!!!) and one is everyone's favorite fighting Frenchman. And Hamilton's trailing close by in second because dag, he amazes and astonishes. And then Angelica and Thomas Jefferson. And then everybody else in this musical.
4. Charles Lee is hilarious - "I'm a general, wheeee!" - but Maria Reynolds by far.
5. That's OK! There's so much to say about Hamilton anyway, maybe we should just start a mass Hamilton appreciation post. (Has someone done that already?)
Sorry this turned into a rant!
*By the way, every time they have a cabinet meeting it sounds like an Epic Rap Battle of History, am I right? XD
(April 25, 2016 - 9:57 pm)
I'm torn. Hamilton is coming to my town in about 2 years.
I want to see it, but...
WHAT IS THE POINT IS THERE IS NO LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA OR DAVEED DIGGS (Who I think is amazing, by the way) OR RENEE ELISE GOLDSBERRY OR PHILIPPA SOO OR--You get the point, right? What should I do?
I feel as if I should quote a song now, but nothing comes to mind. However, I will share with you a conversation that I had via email chat with a couple of my classmates. I'm going to call them A, B and C. I'm not really friends with them, but in a small school where there are 24 in the grade, everybody kind of has to be friends. Well, except for the guy who bullied me last year...but he has some serious problems.
A: **Sends picture of random hockey player poster whose name is apparently Thomas Somethingorother**
B: Thomas, my bro!
Me: THOMAS JEFFERSON???!!!!!
Me: You simply must meet Thomas, THOMAS!!!!
A: That BC poster was autographed by the entire team.
B: Sick, A. Nice.
Me: Thomas Jefferson's comin' Ho-ome!
C: I have signed cards of Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle.
Me: He's been off in Paris for so long! Thomas: France is following us to revolution, there is no more status quo. But the sun goes up and the world still spins...
I had Lafayette draft a declaration, then I said "I gotta go"-- I gotta be in Montechello.
B: Ok OtR.
Me: Now the work at home begins...
B: We get it.
Me: So what did I miss?
Anyway, Thomas Jefferson rocks! He is also the most hate-able dude ever!
B: Great, gtg.
Me: Bye!
I think you just want to get away from Hamilton Lyrics...
Y'know, take a break...
Heeheee!
Take a break!
There's a little suprise for supper and it cannot wait!
I inserted correct punctuation into their messages, because it seems that I am the only person in the world who actually uses grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation in my messages. **Sigh**
