Why are things so ridiculously dead? Today isn't a holiday anywhere but Utah, is it?

And I'm so back and forth right now. Family's in town, and it's a state holiday (well, technically tomorrow is, but it's being celebrated both today and Monday), and so I'm all over the place.

Why is it so quiet today? I know it's usually quieter on the weekends but today...

It's quiet 'cause I've been gone at a family reunion. I'm just that special.

I had an absolutely amazing time at The Music Man, but then came home to my evil roommate. BUT... That is not going to ruin my evening. Now I just need to find out what my sister and her roommate (who are both staying at my house) are doing tonight/tomorrow, and then I'm set for the next 24 hours.
ETA ....And I kinda think maybe I sort of have a little bit of a crush on the person who played "Professor Harold Hill." ...Which is just weird, because he taught my acting class for a bit while his wife (and that just makes it even weirder) was on maternity leave.

That sounds interesting, BG. I dunno what to tell you.
And go for it, Ally. I'm bad with titles, but shoot.

Ok the story line is:
My characters the Freaks stumble upon this little boy dealing drugs in a playground, and they catch him ready to call the cops. But the little boy pleads for them to call his aunt, so they do. To there suprise the aunt is there age. Rachel, and the little boy is Michael. After they both display a heart breaking reunion as though they havent seen eachother for months some questions are asked, and as reluctant as they are to give answers there past slowly start to slip out. My characters bid them goodbye after hearing that they are going through some hard times and think nothing of the meeting, until one rainny day Rachel comes knocking on there door days later in tears, wanting to know if Michael is there of if anyone has seen him. When she finds out no one has seen him since that day she breaks down and he truth is revealed about there past. Michael's mother has kidnapped him again. A vial druggy alcoholic that has schaked up with a very rich dirty and evil man who seems to have his hands in every illegal activity in the book. With time running out before Rachel feels her sister will make Michael do something worst then deal drugs, my characters agree to help get him back, little do they know who exactly they are up against. Michael's mom Denise is utterly insane, and her boyfriend is one of the most dangerous men alive, for he already killed Rachel's parents to get to Michael and there family fortune, now they are after her, the only living heir still in her parents Will before Michael. Now the battle is on, to get Michel back and to keep Rachel from being killed.

I'd say Caught in the Fire. Poor Unfortunate Souls is far too Disney, haha.

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you, find it hard to take. When people run in circles it's a very very... Mad World. Mad World.
