um, other people think Valjean's kind of an annoying tool, right?

...and that Javert is MIGHTY WITH THE AWESOME*?

People Who I Love in Les Miz:
-Javert (so much omg)
-Eponine (even my wacky sang-it-phonetically-in-English Japanese Eponine!)
-Grantaire (I have a rough-voiced OTT American Grantaire who reduces me to *tears* during "Drink With Me")
-Enjolras (dumb! But he believes! And um, I really like "Do You Hear the People Sing" and "Red and Black")
-The rest of the students (see above)
-the Bishop (AWWW BISHOP DUDE!)
-Fantine (dumb! so dumb! but awesome! Also, my CSR has like, the robust Australian Fantine, who sounds like she could break Valjean in half with her pinky even while dying of consumption)

People Who Annoy the Crap Out of Me in Les Miz:
-Valjean (such a tool)
-Cosette (god, SHUT UP)
-Marius (...except during "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" and, because I am not made of stone, he is also not annoying during "A Little Fall of Rain". *wibble*)
-Victor Hugo (because seriously, Victor, did we REALLY need like, a 30 page essay on the evils of Waterloo in the middle of your book?)

This post brought to you by Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel singing "The Confrontation."

and by "awesome," I pretty much mean Interesting and Complex and Sympathetic despite being a complete dick and closeminded and all of that. Still a good guy, though. *loves*

...every time I read "Confrontation" I somehow scan it as "Concentration" and imagine the big showdown between Javert and Valjean going the way of the elementary-school handgame-- concentration! concentration is the game! keep the rhythm! keep the rhythm of the game. Words like? Loaf of bread! Prison cell. Jean ValJean! (ValJean messes up the clapping, then takes off*)


...*skitters off, spamming*
