Getting To Know You!

<p>Hey everyone! I figure we’ll be getting to know each other really well in the coming week, so why don’t we consolidate stuff about ourselves?! (Yes, I admit I stole this idea from the Dartmouth board. Thanks!) </p>

<p>So let’s do this… (a) your username, (b) your real name, (c) where you’re from, (d) your Brown status, and (e) something interesting about yourself. And keep the list going as you add your stuff.</p>

<p>I’ll start!</p>

<li><p>Cools875 Stace, Ct, waiting until thurs..., I want to swing dance.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Banana, I ADORE musicals, and Cools, I teach swing dancing (best dance form on earth!)!</p>

<p>Oh, now I really,really hope I get in to Brown!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Bananas, that's how I got the idea for the title. lol</p>

<p>"Getting to know you,
Getting know all about you.<br>
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me."</p>

<p>franklin, musicals are awesome. Which do you like the best? My favorites are A Chorus Line and West Side Story.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>it also reminds me of My Fair Lady...almost identical song</p>

<p>I know it's not a huge deal like 500th, or 1000th post, but I'd like to dedicate #200 to all of you Seniors waiting to hear from Brown! I know I'm going to be in your position next year, and I wish you all the best luck. Brown would be lucky to have all of you! Sorry, I know this isn't really related to the thread, but I didn't want to start a new one.</p>

<p>Dani-- hehe, I thought you might have. I REEEEEAAAAAAAALLLY wanted our graduation song to be "What I Did for Love." Everyone should listen to it, seriously, it's so appropriate.</p>

<p>*Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I can't regret what I did for love
What I did for love</p>

<p>Look my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
And I won't forget what I did for love
what I did for love</p>

<p>But, love is never gone
as we travel on
Love's what we'll remember</p>

<p>Kiss today goodbye
And point me tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won't forget, Can't regret
What I did for love.....*</p>

<p>Ahhhhh, more people need to be musical savvy. :( We still might do "For Good," which would be similarly awesome...but not quite as fitting.</p>

<p>I think my musical tastes are more in the non-traditional...my favorites are probably Rent, Avenue Q, and anything by Stephen Schwartz...though there are many more!</p>
