The Things I Learned From Musicals

While going through some of my stuff, I found my big green notebook that was supposed to be my Journal. I filled it with dedications from my friends, a few sketches, a short story and some notes. Of course, it would've been nice if I'd continued using that notebook the way I intended to, but somehow I forgot about it. What with all the stuff that had went on this year, I was bound to neglect its very existence. Anyway, as I went through the pages of my pretty green notebook, I came across a list. A list that made me smile. A list of the things I learned from musicals.

It's a pretty stupid list, but I thought of sharing it anyway. Especially since the inspiration for this list was found somewhere in the crazy world of the world wide web as well. And, well, I've revised some of it from the one in my journal, but it's pretty much the same list. Here goes.

1. No one mourns the wicked.
