can i please marry norbert leo butz?

saw wicked today and it was amazing. except joel gray wasn't there to play the wizard. sad. still amazing though.

i've decided that the book and the show are both equally awesome because they are their own different and absolutely wonderful entities.

however, since i had read the book before knowing that the show existed at all, i think i would have been upset about the way the show ended if someone had not told me about the ending beforehand. i'm just one of those people who will always think the book is better i guess. but the show ending made sense in the context so it's all good.

and i am in love with norbert leo butz and i want to marry him. not only was he awesome as fiyero, but he was also in "the last five years" which is equally amazing and a billion times more impressive acting-wise.

anyway, count down to pittsburgh = 5 days. not too bad. almost there. can't wait.
