No, I know you didn't say it that way. I understood.

I think the reason why broadway and show choir is so prominent for me is because in high school I wanted so badly to be part of the musical theatre group that we had, but I was never brave enough to audition for anything. Our school won so many awards, and the theatre kids were always really popular with everyone else in the school and I didn't feel comfortable enough to try and get in more with that crowd even though I knew most of them individually. As a collective, they scared me.

Which is kind of why I like Glee so much. I love that the Glee club is so low in the social food chain in that story because it makes them more approachable. At my school, the choir and all of the arts programs were very intense and people really kind of looked up to those kids. There were no negative connotations associated with those kids. But they were also winning awards left and right and they brought in more money for our school than any of the sports programs did so they were just more popular.

I was that kid in high school that knew everyone, but never actually joined any of the social groups on campus. I wouldn't let myself join any school clubs or activities and I didn't want to stick myself in any one group at school so I just kind of lurked through all of the groups equally. It was easier.

But back to the theatre thing. Since I wasn't brave enough to join myself, I just followed trends. Kept up with the plays they were performing and went to all of the shows. And because I keep up with most forms of entertainment media now, I try to keep up with which shows are playing on Broadway that I would love to go see.

I'm mostly doing the theme contest to get more participation from people. I don't know if it will actually work, but anything to try and evolve the contest. It feels so standard now : (

I try not to write the challenges to push my own opinions on people. I would like to think that what I write out for my informational portion is something that would influence others to look further into the history of something or make them curious enough to want to learn more about a subject. But I have no intentions of trying to force it on them by any means. I don't know if I meet that goal sometimes, but I try my best to make the information something that isn't just read and forgotten two seconds later.

I actually took your suggestions pretty much to heart when I sent you my sort of action plan. I made changes to try and make the challenges more diverse, and this challenge grew on me the more that I thought about it so I'm glad I told you about my plans earlier.

And its also why I decided to try and have someone else theme the next cycle. I want to see what they would want to have a cycle based around instead of just coming up with things that I think are interesting. I don't know if it will work, but it's a theory I'm testing I guess to see if users would take to PM more if I was catering it more towards what the contestants wanted to do. I have a feeling that a lot of people weren't really interested this cycle just because of the theme. How many of the younger kids on here do you think even know about a play that's currently showing on Broadway? Or about any of the older shows that have made any historical impact there?

It took me a while to come up with the writeup. I wanted to make it more about the task at hand, but it's hard to talk about a stage and be informative at the same time. Because that's kind of my new thing. I want to teach something with every challenge. Even if everyone already knows the little facts that I tell them, I still think it's fun.

I almost did a different challenge but thought this one was perfect for an opening challenge. I left out an actress that I really like from that list because I'm using her for a specific challenge later on and didn't want to give anything away because I'm trying not to include anyone in a challenge twice. Which is really difficult!

What do you think of the first challenge? It was kind of your idea after all : )

I swear its there. Any LG fan would hear it haha.

I tried it on and off. I seem to do better with it on than I do off so I just keep it there. Sadly though, I think today will be the only day that I actually play this game and then I won't touch it anymore. Not that it's not great, because whack-a-mole games are amazing, but its just not as easy for me the way I have to play it. And I have multiple things that I think should be changed but I don't think that there would be anything done about my suggestions. I can just kind of see the response in my head that my feedback would be taken as complaining and not as helpful.
