For Good

Wicked song of the day (this one is stuck in my head)


ELPHABA

You’re the only friend I’ve ever had.


GLINDA

And I’ve had so many friends. But only one-- that mattered.(sings)


I’VE HEARD IT SAID

THAT PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES FOR A REASON

BRINGING SOMETHING WE MUST LEARN

AND WE ARE LED

TO THOSE WHO HELP US MOST TO GROW

IF WE LET THEM

AND WE HELP THEM IN RETURN

WELL, I DON’T KNOW IF I BELIEVE THAT’S TRUE

BUT I KNOW I’M WHO I AM TODAY

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM ORBIT

AS IT PASSES A SUN
LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER

HALFWAY THROUGH THE WOOD

WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?

BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD …


ELPHABA

IT WELL MAY BE

THAT WE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN IN THIS LIFETIME

SO LET ME SAY BEFORE WE PART

SO MUCH OF ME

IS MADE OF WHAT I LEARNED FROM YOU

YOU’LL BE WITH MELIKE A HANDPRINT ON MY HEART

AND NOW WHATEVER WAY OUR STORIES END

I KNOW YOU HAVE RE-WRITTEN MINE

BY BEING MY FRIEND...
LIKE A SHIP BLOWN FROM ITS MOORING

BY A WIND OFF THE SEA

LIKE A SEED DROPPED BY A SKYBIRD

IN A DISTANT WOOD

WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?

BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...


GLINDA

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...


BOTH

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD...


ELPHABA

AND JUST TO CLEAR THE AIR

I ASK FORGIVENESS

FOR THE THINGS I’VE DONE YOU BLAME ME FOR


GLINDA

BUT THEN, I GUESS WE KNOW

THERE’S BLAME TO SHARE


BOTH

AND NONE OF IT SEEMS TO MATTER ANYMORE

[They sing simultaneously]


GLINDA
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM ORBIT

AS IT PASSES A SUN

LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER

HALF-WAY THROUGH THE WOOD


ELPHABA
LIKE A SHIP BLOWN OFF ITS MOORING

BY A WIND OFF THE SEA

LIKE A SEED DROPPED BY A

BIRD IN

THE WOOD

BOTH

WHO CAN SAY IF I’VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?

I DO BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER


GLINDA

AND BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...


ELPHABA

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...


BOTH

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...

I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR GOOD.

Wicked!

That's right. The time is finally here. I'm going to see Wicked.

I went last June in Chicago and have been obsessed every since. I've had these tickets since November and I can't believe the day finally here!

I just hope it's as good as I remember and I hope that the people I'm going with love it as much as I want them too. I've been really trying to pump them up. They haven't been jumping up and down when I talk about them. I, however, bounce off the walls when I talk about it! :)

True embarrassment

My friend and I were 90 miles from home in a smaller town Walmart. We had just spent over two hours at the beach. We're burnt to a crisp and looking tired. She is wearing some cut off jean shorts and her swimming suit, boobs smooshed flat, no make up, hair in a ponytail. I'm wearing a swimming suit, jogging shorts, and a short sleeve jean shirt and some old, ugly sandals from K-Mart. I'm 60 lbs more than I was in high school, I have zero make up on, eyes are puffy from the sun and heat, and my hair is messed up from lake water and in a bun on top of my head. We've got six kids with us ranging in age of 13 - 3 and they're running wild.

We're walking down an isle and we run into someone from high school. My friend that I was with used to have a serious crush on him. He's there looking great with his pretty wife and nice looking kids.


I don't think we could look as bad as we looked if we tried! This was just pure bad looks at it's best. You always think your safe when you're miles from home. Here's proof that you're never safe no matter where you go! We turned down the next isle and laughed so hard and just couldn't stop.
