How many times have you seen RENT? Nine
How many times have you rushed? Six
Fave color: periwinkle
Fave food: Ramen noodlesFave book: I like too many books. Let's say authors. Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, Ray Bradbury, Dave Barry, sometimes James Joyce depending on my patience, and Shakespeare. Oh. And J.K. Rowling. Yeah, I'm one of those. (~*Side note from Katie: Don't worry, hon... so are Kelly and I :)
Fave movie: I like too many movies. Let's say: American Beauty, Billy Elliot, Gladiator (contrary to popular belief, I do not like it merely because I want Russell Crowe's hot sex), Fight Club, and, of course, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Fave animal: otters. Aren't they cute?
How much do you love Matt? Very very much. I love him as much as I can WITHOUT progressing to the scary stalker level.
Why do you love Matt as much as you do? Because he has an incredible voice, is an amazing actor (I love his portrayal of Mark--so natural and genuine), writes beautiful songs, and is a really nice guy, If I were Melissa, I would say he was my favorite shisnin.
Fave Matt quote: "No, see, the M goes down and becomes the C." [referring to his autograph]
Favorite Matt song? Road Less Traveled, followed closely by Sideways and Divide and Conquer and all of those other songs.
Fave song from RENT: What You Own
Fave line from RENT: "This lot is full of motherfucking artists." (I feel that 'motherfucking artists' is such a great phrase. I am petitioning to change the name of School of the Arts to School of Motherfucking artists. Somehow, I doubt that will go over well.)
Fave character from RENT: Mark, by far. After that, Mimi.
If you could be one person in RENT, who would it be? Well, I'm white as the newfallen snow, but I'd still like to be Mimi. However, I would need to learn how to do that "meow HAH" splits thing.
Fave actor/actress who's been in RENT: Matt Caplan. I must admit I have a great fondness for Jim Poulos as well. My favorite Mimi is probably Loraine Velez, and my favorite Roger is Cary Shields. (Although Jeremy rocks.)
OBC, Angel, Collins, or Benny Cast? Well, I have only seen the Benny Cast and the Broadway post-OBC. And due to my current vague dislike of Manley Pope and Trey Ellett (no one yell at me), I've got to say I love my Bennies.
