Yes, I am in CATS. Now and forever. The way I see it, I was too young for Chorus Line, and too “happy” for Les Mis. I never did get that show. It’s about a guy, who steals a loaf of bread, and then suffers for the rest of his life. For toast! Get over it.

Is it worth the waiting for?  
If we live 'til eighty four  
All we ever get is gru…el!  
Ev’ry day we say our prayer –  
Will they change the bill of fare?  
Still we get the same old gru…el!  
There’s not a crust, not a crumb can we find,  
Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge,  
But there’s nothing to stop us from getting a thrill  
When we all close our eyes and imag…ine

Food, glorious food!  
Hot sausage and mustard!  
While we’re in the mood –  
Cold jelly and custard!  
Peas, pudding and saveloys!  
What next is the question?  
Rich gentlemen have it, boys –  
In-di-gestion!

I am the Dragon. And you call me insane. You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is your nature to do one thing correctly. Before me, you rightly tremble. But, fear is not what you owe me. You owe me awe.
