I am obsessed with Wicked. I went crazy with it for awhile. I read the book, and I tried extremely hard to get tickets the last time it came here when Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel were in it ( I reallllllly wanted to see them) but I couldn't. But the songs are amazing. Especially " No One Mourns the Wicked" and "Defying Gravity."
And last year I went through my Rent phase, where all I listened to was Rent songs and I watched the movie constantly. I still love it

I haven't seen Wicked yet though. I haven't even read the book.
But, um, if I do like it, I'll be rather freaked out.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Well, I'm warning you: the book is extremely boring for most people. It's pretty difficult to get through. It's good, don't get me wrong, but you have to really be into it.
