I don’t believe in signs. I don’t believe things are meant to be. I do believe that sometimes in life, odd things happen, and that we are free to interpret those events however we choose. If you hear that song on the radio, or have that same dream again, and it encourages you to do something, to make a change, to take action, then good. That is a sign, to you. Let it give you all the initiative and power you need.

look, hamilton is great and everything but I’m pretty sure lin manuel miranda’s crowning achievement and most hashtag relatable content is that one vine where he’s lying in the grass going “come on brain, think of things, come on brain, be so smart”

godlessondheimite:

In honor of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s birthday, here are some of my favorite facts about Stephen Sondheim!

1. He absorbed several thousand twins in utero, as well as their potential futures and souls, which is why he is able to express the full range of human experience instead of the lifetime average of 4-5 emotions.

2. He created the world in six days and on the seventh day, he wrote Sunday in the Park With George.

3. When he was 18 he messed around with alchemy and, during a failed experiment, created a Homunculus from his own blood. The Homunculus became a popular musical theater composer in his own right, writing such hits as Cats and Evita. Rumor has it that their souls are bound, and neither can live while the other survives.

4. He is the inventor of the crossword puzzle, murder mysteries, language, music, and snark.

5. Nostradamus tried to predict Sondheim but the internal rhyme scheme of the prophecy was too tricky to put on paper, and the wordplay was too complicated that Nostradamus bitterly gave up and declared Sondheim’s future work “unhummable and pretentious, anyway.”

6. He has two black standard poodles named Addy and Willy!
