       #NotEvenSorry It's Tuesday! That means I had voice today and I get to post my songs of the week and theatre stuff, and all that jazz. Whether or not this shall be monthly, biweekly, or weekly, has not yet been determined. YES! Tuesday shall be my stage day. Oooh, William Shakespeare quote coming in 3... 2... 1... "All the world's a stage, the people merely characters, the events merely a script". Can anyone remember what play or sonnet that's from, or is it just a quote? I don't know. A sonnet, what was I thinking? A sonnet is a musical piece. My apologies.
     
        For those of you who are full-on thespians, or even if you're not, I demand you to go watch "The Sound of Music" this very second. I don't care if you've already seen it, watch it again. The reason I say this, is because the song I'm working on from my book of showtunes is "Sixteen Going on Seventeen". I like to think that I'm getting good at it. Whether or not I actually am is a completely different story ;) Maybe one day I'll post a video of myself singing. Don't worry, I won't make you watch it. But if I had a video of me reenacting "Defying Gravity" from "Wicked" with my headphones on, that would make you watch, because it's hilarious.

         A word to the stupid, don't ever bite a gel pain reliever. NOT COOL! My mouth will never feel the same again. Those things light your gums on fire. I'm serious, it felt like someone dripped asaxyphalichloric acid all over them. Yea, that's an undiscovered acid. It's native to the planet Galifrey. And here all the Timelords are staring at me like, "Umm, not even the TARDIS can translate your stupidity". Yea, they're right. But still! Biting into one of those makes your tongue go numb, and they make you salivate like a rabid animal. Just don't be stupid. Don't do it.

         So all you (What are we up to now? Two, globally) Adam Lambert fans (Glamberts), he's mentioned quite heavily in this post. And all you Ackleholics (Jensen Ackles fans), I found him covering Adam Lambert's "Runnin'". (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVxHED1KfHs) I have to admit; even though I'm a fully registered Glambert, I like Jensen's version better. He just has this deep voice. I think if they did a duet of that song together, it'd be like my version of porn, it's seriously just that sexy.

         Because I'm 50% of all Glamberts, I wanted to post one of his songs that's really personal to me and hits close to home. It kinda goes along with his song  "Underneath" (Link to this track- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3LwG8IRLQo), but it hits a happier note. Now if you don't mind, or even if you do, I'm gonna post a link and the lyrics to his song "Better Than I Know Myself" because this song means that much to me.

Cold as ice
And more bitter than a december
Winter night
That's how I treated you
And I know that I
I sometimes tend to lose my temper
And I cross the line
Yeah that's the truth

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

[Chorus:]
Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

All along
I tried to pretend it didn't matter
If I was alone
But deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn't know which way to turn
Cause I'm lost without you

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say

[Chorus:]
Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

[Bridge:]
I get kind of dark
Let it go too far
I can be obnoxious at times
But try and see my heart
Cause I need you now
So don't let me down
You're the only thing in this world
I would die without

[Chorus:]
Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
But I really need you near me to
Keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself


     I really love this man. One of my favorite quotes by him is: "Never be afraid to be who you are, no matter what anyone says or thinks". So that is why we have so many of his songs up on the list this week. Oh, and also, fellow Glamberts, HE"S NOT GAY! He's bisexual. But still! Bigger percentage of getting to him. Because Benedict Cumberbatch had to go and get engaged. Grr. Still, I think
I deserve to sing Panic! At the Disco. *singing* So pour that champagne, pour that champagne!





                                               
 
 
And there should be another fanart, but it doesn't feel like uploading, so, screw it. Well everyone, have a great rest of the day, don't be afraid to sparkle a little brighter, I'll see you tomorrow, and peace out!
