skygiantsThings accomplished today:
1. Handed in finished creative writing project, with cover letter and everything, five minutes before deadline. Yay!
2. Had obligatory panic attack because I couldn't remember where to turn in seminar essay. Not unexpected!
3. Handed in finished seminar essay two hours before deadline. Was first one there, which explains panic attack, resolved when second person there came to hand in her essay. Yay!
4. Painted tea mug at Color Me Mine, because we have nothing to do at work until January and thus it was decreed that we would take today to go paint things and each acquire our own personal tea mug. With money from the keep-workers-happy budget. Because my job and boss are awesome. GREAT YAY!
Therefore, basking in the glow, I join the herd. Unpopular Fandom Opinions meme!
The rules:
01. Post this on your journal.
02. Your friends will comment with some of your fandoms or some general topic about fandom.
03. In a new post (or in comments) respond back with one or two of your unpopular opinions for that fandom or topic.
Caveat: I don't actually know a lot of what's unpopular. Um. So I put a popular opinion by accident, oops?

Date: 2006-12-13 03:30 am (UTC)- I get Erik as Tormented Romantic Hero, but alas, he's also a stalker and a murderer. As Jez put it in her answer to the same meme, he can be redeemed, but these are, uh, important issues to be addressed. Nor have I ever had any desire to run away with him to a tropical paradise.
- Raoul really entertains me. I have no more desire to elope with him than I do with Erik; in my mind, having either of them take a romantic interest in you is probably a good cue to leave the country, 'cause they both get kind of intensely creepy about it. But he's so oblivious! I am fond of him, in the way where I want to ruffle his hair and tell him to get a life.
- I love Philippe de Chagny. He doesn't even appear in the musical, and he's a teeny-tiny character in the book, and I love him regardless. He's the only moderately sensible character in a completely ridiculously operatic story, and he runs off to save Raoul like a good older brother should. It's not his fault that he gets eaten by an improbable plot device offscreen.
- It is my firm opinion that Phantom of the Opera is eminently mockable. It is meant to be mockable. It is, at least in part, a giant sendup of operatic traditions, and that's one of the reasons why I love it. I like the movie because it gets this! It totally doesn't take itself too seriously.
- I. Uh. I don't actually love Sarah Brightman's voice. As far as just singing goes, I prefer Emmy Rossum.
- Carlotta/Piangi is so cute! Diva love!
