SoM Mood Theme

I have wanted this ever since I got an lj. *points to mood theme*

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] imnotacommittee for directing me to it. It's here if anyone else is interested . . . but somehow I don't see [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue giving up her "full" Xander-in-a-speedo mood, and she's the only one I can think of besides INAC who cares.

BUT IT'S THE SOUND OF MUSIC YOU GUYS AND MARIA AND CAPTAIN VON TRAPP AND OMG I'M JUST SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY THAT YES, I DO HAVE TO USE THIS MUCH CAPSLOCK. /the hills are bloody the frak alive.

!!!! For a while, a few years back, there was an ongoing sing-along/MST3King of SoM in town, and they were giving out prizes to people who showed up in the most creative costumes, like as BROWN PAPER PACKAGES TIED UP WITH STRING!

No one wanted to go, including TFMN! Everyone was too cool for SoM school! I totally missed that sing-along, meh.

I went to a Sound of Music Sing-a-long. I met up with some fellow SoM fangirls (I knew them from online. From writing SoM fanfiction. This is how I first met in person fandom friends.) in London, where they were doing it. I dressed up in Maria's nightgown; [livejournal.com profile] imnotacommittee was a blue strawberry (Captain: "it's too cold for blueberries." Friedrich: "they were strawberries! It's been so cold out, they've turned blue!") and our other friend came as edelweiss--she won the costume contest.

The sing-a-long was hosted by a man in a red sparkly dress named Candy, who had better legs than me, and [livejournal.com profile] imnotacommittee brought poppers and we popped 'em when Maria and the Captain kissed, and when the nun said that the Captain was "a fine man, and a brave one" INAC shouted, "and a hot one!"

They circle around fairly often; one should come by you eventually. I highly recommend going to one, if you can find someone to go with you!

Oh, that sounds very fun! Yes, I think it swings into NYC now and again since then, but that was a really long run (I think for some anniversary? For the film's release? Or maybe release on video) and seemed extra cool somehow.

oh yeah, the anniversary was two years ago, I think! Yeah, maybe it was specialer. I'm sorry you didn't get to go! I'd've gone with you! I would've frightened you with my utterly and complete slathering pantyfannishness.

SoM pantyfannishness... oh my goodness. Does this have anything to do with the "boxers or briefs" conversation that got us in trouble on Vanessa's boards?

hahahaha! Pantyfan is the new fangirl/fanboy. Because it's not gender specific!

I still wonder about that. Poor Captain.

Oh, dear. I thought it was new internet lingo.

I'm trying to make it new internet lingo.

Look, I have icons to advertise it.

[identity profile] imnotacommittee.livejournal.com 2006-10-22 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see.

As long as a Friedrich pantyfan doesn't get popular, then I think I'm OK ;-)

Good times! Good times!

Man, that sing-a-long was a good time.

"Hellloooooo, Candy!" This all makes me want to go to another one. OK, let's get the little bags packed for London.

Another fond memory, Sandra winning the costume contest as Edelweiss.

It's amazing that Kerry is still friends with me, after scaring her like that.

OK, let's get the little bags packed for London. where we belong.

I want to go to another one too!

She did seem pretty freaked. It's hard to be a fan among people who are not. Well, it wasn't hard around Kerry. She was a great sport.

Did I tell you I am going to London next month? Kerry and I are seeing Wicked, and then we're visiting her parents up in Carlisle. I cannot wait. I need a jolly holiday.

It is hard to be a crazy fan with someone who isn't (esp someone who is a "real world" friend). But she fit right in and even was an avid Julie spotter during that year's Oscars (while I was dead asleep - the girl watches it LIVE)

But nothing will top that 2004 London weekend. Such fun! We do belong there. For at least a month or two, until our money runs out.

You told me about Wicked, but I think I forgot it was in London! So cool!

We do belong there. For at least a month or two, until our money runs out.

We need Elsa's money desperately.

I can't wait to go to London. Get me the freak out of here for a little while. I also heard a new West End production of The Sound of Music has opened, and I REALLY WANT TO GO SEE IT!!!!! Live Climb Every Mountain has become one of my most very favorite things (pun unavoidable)

I'll take Elsa's money. Just not that horrid poof on her gown.

the nun said that the Captain was "a fine man, and a brave one" INAC shouted, "and a hot one!"

Damn straight he is.
