Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all...

Coming up, the answers to the unguessed lyrics from the quiz. Some thoughts spurred by writing this entry:

• Am I the only person who listens to Dido? I keep feeling that there's something, I don't know, relentlessly middlebrow about liking her, as though I should be embarrassed about it. But I have no idea where that feeling's coming from! Anyway, I just go on liking her a lot.
  
• My French kind of really sucks. Despite my listening to the Les Miz soundtrack a silly number of times. Seriously, I don't understand any of it -- but I do wonder why on earth the French version has "My prince is already on the way" and the English version has "There is a castle on a cloud." Huh? Never liked that song, anyway. At least the castle on a cloud version. I mean, among other things, the line about crying not being allowed irritated me, because I imagine the Javerts Thenardiers (Javerts, psha. What's wrong with me?) looked pretty harshly on crying too! I, um, may have thought about it too much. It's funny, I think I have some of the same issues with Cosette as with Harry Potter, in that their childhoods were supposed to be entirely dominated by these people who essentially hate and (at least emotionally) abuse them, but it doesn't have all that much impact on their personalities. Okay, really overthinking it.
  
• Apparently, the phrase "open palmed" appears in a fair number of sex-related sites -- Kama Sutra and erotica. I guess it doesn't come up all that much, but where it does come up it's often in the context of caresses -- or, in the case of the Kama Sutra, slaps, but in the context "kissing and slapping between her breasts", which sounds not particularly erotic, but hey. Kama Sutra.
  
• I overthink stuff a lot.
  
  Ooh! "William's Doll"!
