musical theatre groupchat!

okay so if you, like me, are really into broadway but your friends are not and you desperately need a place to let all of the feelings and thoughts out this is the thing for you! if this doesn’t work out it never happened and i will hide under a rock for several years to come

rules:

you don’t have to follow me but it’d be cool ya know

reblog this post, likes won’t count

the groupchat will be in english (shocker) but anyone is welcome to join!

i’ve been thinking of using whatsapp for this but if everyone hates that idea some other platform can work

fill out this typeform (everyone who applies will get to join so this is not me choosing which answers i like best and handpicking people so don’t worry about it it’s just a formality) 

i will start going through answers this weekend because i’m working until then so you can apply until sunday 23/7 and then i’ll contact you on tumblr when i’m done!

what do you get out of this?

friends with the same interests as you

most likely cool musical recommendations

full access to all of my bootlegs (if we’re friends my bootleg collection is your bootleg collection)

a virtual hug from me

people who reblog your selfies, edits, textposts etc

emotional support because lord knows we need it

if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me about anything!

my chinese teacher once shared this story in class about someone who went to the grocery to buy chicken, but they forgot the english word for it, so they grabbed an egg, went to the nearest sales lady and said “where’s the mother”

When I was a teenager, we went to Italy for the summer holidays. We are German, neither of us speaks more than a few words of Italian. That didn’t keep my family from always referring to me when they wanted something translated because “You’re so good with languages and you took Latin”. (I told them a hundred times I couldn’t order ice cream in Latin, they ignored that.) Anyway, my dad really loved a certain cheese there, made from sheep’s milk. He knew the Italian word for ‘cheese’ – formaggio – and he knew how to say ‘please’. And he had already spotted a little shop that sold the cheese. He asked me what ‘sheep’ was in Italian, and of course, I had no idea. So he just shrugged and said “I’ll manage” and went into the shop. 5 mins later, he comes out with a little bag, obviously very pleased with himself. How did he manage it? He had gone in and said “'Baaaah’ formaggio, prego.”

I was done for the day.

This makes me feel better about every conversation I had in both Rome and Ghent.

I once lost my husband in the ruins of a French castle on a mountain, and trotted around looking for him in increasing desperation. “Have you seen my husband?” I asked some French people, having forgotten all descriptive words. “He is small, and English. His hair is the color of bread.”

I did not find my husband in this way.

In rural France it is apparently Known that one brings one’s own shopping bags to the grocery store. I was a visitor and had not been briefed and had no shopping bag. I saw that other people were able to conduct negotiations to purchase shopping bags, but I could not remember the word for “bag.”

“Can I have a box that is not a box,” I said.

The checkout lady looked extremely tired and said, “Un sac?” (A sack?)

Of course. A fucking sack. And so I did get a sack.

In paris in the early 2000s i was trying to find a cell phone rental booth in the airport and i was exhausted. “Excuse me,” I remember asking a security guard. “Where does he find himself, the house where one can buy for a short time the little phone?”

“Buy for a short time?” repeated the guard. “The house?”

“The hat,” I said desperately. “The castle. No – the newsstand. If it pleases you, I want to buy him and then return him: the little phone.”

So, because of the NORMAN FUCKING CONQUEST, English has lots of Romance vocabulary, but because conquerors are by definition Fancy, the vocabulary is mostly for Fancy Things. Which means that it can be much easier to say something academic and rarified than something basic and ordinary. So it befell that when I was  a single day I managed to explain the basics of string theory: “This theory says that all matter is formed of little strings of energy that vibrate in a multi-dimensional space.” Because “teoria”, “materia” “energia” and “spazio molti-dimensionale” are basically the same as the English words.  And then I went to a shop near my home to stand staring hungrily at an enormous barrel of chocolate-covered coffee-beans, eventually asking  with great effort::  “So, please…. those. And …. not all of them?”
