illin' - RENT (not to mention countless street names for heroin)
calumnies - WICKED (it was one of my GRE words, but the lyric helped me remember it)
Nothing matters but knowing nothing matters. ~ Wicked
Everything in life is only for now. ~ Avenue Q
There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. ~ Rent
and MANY others. I stmpped people at hangman when I was in 6th grade. I wanted to see who would fall for it.
He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".

When people invite me to a social gathering I'd rather not attend but have no valid excuse to avoid, I have been known to refuse by saying "I have to finish the hat". It's nice to have an excuse that sounds plausible if you're not listening properly, or too implausible to question if you are. ^_^
Also I never came across the words crepuscule/crepuscular before Spelling Bee, now they're everywhere!
Avenue Q helped me learn how to spell schadenfreude. Lots of musicals are helpful for spelling; I can also do supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and pretty much anything from Spelling Bee. :3
I learned about lots of people/things from La Vie Boheme. When I first heard the song (11 years ago or so), I basically had no idea about anyone/anything mentioned in this song--- I quite innocent the first time I saw the show. As I finished high school and college, I came across the names one by one in my educational/real life experience. And said more than once --- "hey, that's in Rent!" Rent is definitely a show you can grow with.
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?
I used to stand in front of the stereo 'conducting' the soundtrack when I was four - and saying this line along with Mr. Harrison was my favorite part.
