- When you get distracted while navigating someone through Geelong because you find 'Anthony Street' in the street directory and try to convince the driver to take a detour Ooh, you could've visited me. A two-man US convention! - When you're half tempted to join up here, even though he's probably only said two lines. *paws at* want ... but I'm too cheap to fork over 25c. Me too. XD |

Your London-based Brother announces his engagement and your first reaction is to tell him:
"Not March or April 2009, Anthony will be in Perth for Phantom and I can't go to both Perth and London. Don't make me choose, it will not end well!!

- You smirk to yourself when one of your TAFE tutors says "Just In Time System"
- You stay behind a little longer after class and ask said tutor to explain the Just In Time System and count how many times she says it ((9))

- When you swear, it's always, "Damme."

Why "damme"? I thought the root word for "damn it" was "damnare" ((should have a little accent over the "a")), and doesn't Corcoran say "dammit" ? Or does he say "damme" and am I just going down a different path?

"Damme" according to the libretto I found. (I wasn't sure what he was saying so took it upon myself to do some research! XD)

I wonder if he was aware that he was singing the name of a place in Belgium.
"Dammit" just seemed logical; even though I could never hear a consonant on the end no matter how hard I listened.

I wonder if he was aware that he was singing the name of a place in Belgium. Don't tell Sir Joseph. He'll probably declare war. At first I thought he was saying, "Dammit," but like you say, no consonant. |

- When you (finally) find the Haigh's store in Melbourne, walk in and instantly think "If I was Ant what would I buy?" followed by "He's probably been in here!"
- When you arrive at Spencer St Station, your nan says "It seems to be ant central here" and you smile like an idiot.
- When you have a 20 minute conversation pondering whether it's strange to 'miss' Phantom.
- When your mum accidently slams the lid of the piano and you exclaim "It's the Phantom of the Opera!"

If that's strange, count me.

-A radio DJ says "And now we'll check out Unexpected Song" and you think they're talking about here. They weren't even talking about the song, it was just some feature they were doing about new music. Underground Melbourne Music= ick.
I had a decidedly Warlovian day yesterday with Lauren- we went to see Swan Lake and were wondering around Melbourne. Phantom and Ant-related flashbacks kept occuring. XD

- Caramel is now on your list of banned substances.
- You're willing to endorse Phantom of Manhattan if it means getting an Australian Cast Recording.
- Chopping up the veggies for tea always ends with you murmuring, "The way you hold your knife."
- You're disappointed when you don't get Haigh's for Easter.
- You freak out when you're told your cousins and Anthony both went to the same church back around 1990.

At first I wasn't told this was back in the day -- father made it out as if they were still at the same church -- so I was all, "Which church? Tell me! Tell me now! I think I've suddenly became religious."
Apparently it was an "arm-waving" church too! XD

I'd be too mesmerised by Anthony's waving to take in the Good Word.
...Besides, church is meant to be a holy place!

Who said anything about taking it in? Church is a good place to develop acting skills.

I know I'd struggle, I'm not that good an actor....plus, you know pretending doesn't seem fair on anyone attending for real.
I do wonder...if he'd not followed the path of opera....he looks mighty comfortable behind that pulpit (see photo in US collection where I believe he's speaking at a memorial).

- You jump when you see the words, "A local authority from Wollongong..." in an article and read the whole thing looking for Ant's name. XD

- When you're reading an article about Natalie Bassingthwaite and jump when it says she's from Wollongong. You then try and do maths to figure out whether her parents might have been friends with Ant's.
- When you spend 3 hours trawling through the microfiche files of the Wollongong paper from the sixties and seventies. I gave up at 1969.
- When Unwinding's new knowledge makes you consider re-thinking your whole view on religion...
