Description
O.k, if you don't know ho this guy is than you shall be smacked with a live octopus!Seriously!
Fanart of the Phantom as you see him in the Andrew Llyod Webber version of "The Phantom of the Opera". That's about it. I'm really hoping I can find the opportunity to see the show again soon.
I loves me some phantom, be in Crawford, Cheney or any of the countless other versions of that mysteious masked man living beneath the Opera house of Paris.
I must say, the mask that shows up in Webber's version is really, realy hard to draw. It's so wierdly shaped. Also, this got some water on it, and I wasn't ble to get the wrnikles out of the paper because of that.
Done in about 20 minutes on my break at work, This version of the Phantom of the Opera belongs to Andrew Lloyd Webber and the estate of Gaston Leroux. But this drawing belongs to me, no stealing.

I adore "Phantom" by Susan Kay. That's what got me all tingly about O.G. My college roommate (the one from Pagosa Springs--all you CO girls know good lit.) loaned me the book and when I got back to Texas I looked all over for it. Finally I found a copy and I can die happy.
This is great! Makes me want to pull out my "Phantom of the Opera" c.d. Loves me some Michael Crawford.

Oh it's the best! I just wish it were easier to find/less expensive . We only know good lit because we quickly run out of things to do in our small little towns
Ohhh, I adore Crawford. I think he is always going to be the Phantom in my mind. That's character he has in his voice, it's hard to match.

Yeah, my "Phantom" copy was expensive, especially for a paperback. I got it for Christmas last year and I danced a jig. You are only the second person I've met who knows about it! It's so wonderful I don't know why it isn't more popular. Maybe it's just Texas... But we have some boring little towns here, too.
My CO roommate was such a cool person I just automatically think of all people from CO that way. You are just confirming that little bias.
I agree, Crawford has something special. He's the Phantom to me, too.
How many times have you seen the play? I've only seen it once, but I'd love to go again.

I've seen it twice, and I'm hoping to possibly see it for a third time for my 21'st since Las Vegas isn't that far away. But I've been a fan for a really long time and have been fortunate enough to be able to find cheap tickets for the show.

I wish my mom was insistent on taking me to Vegas! She's a pretty prim (but cute) Christian lady and she's firmly convinced gambling is a sin. She thinks Vegas is just one huge den of iniquity. She puts up with my weirdness, so I'll put up with hers.
Have you been to Vegas? If so, I'm even more jealous of you. I may even pout. You can draw AND write AND you live in pretty CO. AND you get cheap tickets to "Phantom" AND your mom wants to take you to Vegas! Enough is enough!

My mom is kind of strange about stuff like that, we're not hard-core Christians, butshe is kind of against a lot of things. She was always really anti-gambling, and anti-occult stuff (which sucked when I was 13 and wanted to watch Buffy). I don't know where Vegas suddenly came from, honestly I think she just wants to see the shows. It's funny too, because my dad thinks it's both a den of eveil and an environmentla injustice beyond imagining, so I'm not sure what's gonna happen there.
But then she'll have this wierd habit of just out of the blue, letting you do things she wouldn't before. Doesn't like the occult, but buys me a tarot deck, wouldn't let me see Titanic for months and then randomly takes me, hates Vegas, but decides we should go. She's funny though, I love her
I've never been to Vegas really, I've driven by it, but never actually entered it. I'm sorry, I don't mean to make you jealous, if it makes you feel better, I bruise myself a lot and I live a good hour from a decent movie theatre.

I love Buffy! I want to marry Spike. Too bad he's fake.
We both have funny moms! They are so adorable, aren't they?
My parents are Evangelical Christians and I am agnostic and, honestly, more a believer in science. I'm the skeptic. I respect their beliefs and even admire their faith, but the sentiment is not returned. They're really upset that I'm bound for Hell. Sigh. Oh well. They just love me.
I'm not sure if I would gamble, mainly because it doesn't really interest me, but I would love to see shows! Go, your mom!
I live an hour from a decent movie theater, too! Ah, the price we pay for being small town girls.
I like to learn about all sorts of things, even stuff I think is completely unreal (like ghosts and UFOs). Just because it's kind of fringe doesn't mean it isn't interesting! It's probably more interesting. So, I don't think you're sacrificing babies to Satan because you were curious about the Occult. In fact, if they have something about it on Discovery, I'll be watching it.

If only, if only...
My whole family is Roman Catholic, and I identify myself by that group, but my beliefs are so heavily influenced by science, personal experience, and other belief systems that I don't think I really fall into the Catholic belief system. That being said, I know a lot of other Catholics who are like that, so I geuss I'm not that wierd. (I can believe Darwin and St John the Baptist at the same time, fear my belief splitting powers, Mwa, ha!)
Yeah, not really into gambling, and neither is my mom. I wonder if she doesn't have an ulterior motive...
That's the price you pay for having small town charm, I suppose.
I'm almost always on the Discovery or History Channel, (or cartoons, I'm not gonna lie on that one.) I still do kind of like occult stuff, but mainly from a literary/storytelling standpoint, or a historical one. I'm that kid who looked really normal but had a copy of the Necromicon and the "Big Book of Undead Things" shoved under my bed.
Learning about random topics of interest is soo awesome. (Nerdity! Whee!) Have you seen the Discovery Channel commercial where all the scientists sing songs about their work? I love that, I'm always singing the song.

I love people who question and work- out their own beliefs--even if they are different than mine. So, hoorah for your conglomeration of beliefs! I kind of worry about people who believe exactly the same way at twenty-five as they did at thirteen. :/
Nerdity is the awesomest state ever! I just adore watching all those History Channel and Discovery shows. You are my kindred! Happiness! If there is anything about vampires, mummies, the Middle Ages or big cats I've probably seen it about five times. Then I watch the ghost and UFO shows because I'm mean and they make me giggle.
You are dead-on when you say learning about random topics is soo awesome. I know more useless stuff than I can name, but I dig it. I rule at Trivial Pursuit! Well, my mom is a little better because she's insanely smart. Her IQ is genius level. Of course, I got Dad's genes on the intelligence quotient. Curses!

Ohhh, Histories Mysteries is my fave. I also love all those like real life murder cases shows like 'Most Evil" and "48 hours". I don't know why, since I don't this kind of behaviour at all, but the more reprehensible the act, the more fascinating the documentary about it is.
Ohhh, your a smart one too Novel, besides, you could be like me where you know a whole bunch of random crap, but have no capacity to make it apply to the real world.

I watch "Most Evil" all of the time and, just like you, it ickier it is the more I watch. I feel kind of creeped out because when there is a profile of a serial killer on TV I'm like, "Jackpot!" What IS that?!?!
I do know a whole bunch of crap I can't apply to the real world. :/ Sad, sad, sad. And the stuff that really matters? I hardly know about it at all! I purposely avoid the news because I get so frickin' ticked off. Sigh. I'm so uneducated.

People getting killed in movies, even brutally, doesn't really get to me. I can watch gory things and be fine. If a person is raped, though, I change channels. It chills me to the core. I just can't handle that.
Also, I'm like a kid. Really passionate kissing or sex scenes make me really uncomfortable. Sometimes I'm glad they happen because I want the characters to get together, but I just can't watch it. I can read sex-filled novels, but if I see it I start blushing. Dumb.
I sometimes read the news on Yahoo so I'm not a complete idiot. It always infuriates me. My dad says, "Don't take things so personally," then he turns around and yells at Katie Couric. We're passionate little critters.

If violence is really exageratted I don't mind it, so stuff like "Sweeney Todd" is no problem. But if violence gets realistic or is done specifically to the genitalia or face, I can't handle it. I have never been able to watch "The Green Mile" all the way through because of the scene where they botch the electrocution and the guy fries. I just can't handle it. I refused to see that "Planet Horror" film, after my friend told me about violence in it against a girl involving a knife and a trampoline that was done as a joke. I don't care if it's done to men or women, I can't handle watching even the insinuation of genital mutilation if it's done for laughs or horror, it's so demeaning and horrible that I get ashamed and nauseated.
And for some reason, I get nightmares from slow, dumb zombies. Make them fast, make them smart, there technically more lethal and that's o.k. I'ts the dumb ones that get me.
I don't mind sex if there's a reasson for it, but if it's just randomly in there to get your attention I get annoyed. I can't really read romance novels partially because of that.
That's o.k, my dad used to get ticked off at the t.v too. I get irrate a lot now when I watch it, I'm just like "grain of salt Laura, grain of salt."

Yeah, there are some freaky movies I can't watch after dark, either. There is this movie called "The Descent" and, though it is not the goriest or most suspenseful movie I've ever seen, it is the scariest movie in the world (to me). I don't know why.

You fell asleep?!?! Actually, it may not be scary at all, but it freaks me out for some reason. I think horror movies appeal to people for different reasons. Maybe I had a run-in with flesh-eating cave monsters that I've repressed.
Harry Potter! That's funny! I'm giggling because, now that I think of it, you're totally right!
You just need to send me all your commentary on movies so I can be properly amused. I need a brain that thinks like yours. Have one that you're willing to part with?

I can't help but wonder if it was accident or design.
