My miniature roommate gave me the title of this post...because she actually said it to me.
If I had it my way, I would continue to live a poor life, due to my ultimate career goal of being a Broadway superstar. This is not as much of a career goal as it is a lofty dream inspired by my affinity for Broadway showtunes.
And by affinity, I mean obsession.
And by obsession, I mean I live, sleep, breathe, and eat showtunes.
While it's not what I would call a "well-balanced diet," I find showtunes to be inspirational, gaudy, and unrealistic--three qualities I hope I always possess.
I realize that saying I aim to be "unrealistic" can take on a negative connotation. However, my version of being unrealistic is quite different from the typical definition of it. For example:
Typical Unrealistic Statement: "I want to be an astronaut."
My Unrealistic Statement: "I want to own a miniature Shetland pony farm."
I find that my inability to think within the norm makes my life much more entertaining than it ever should be, which leads me to back to the point of this post: Showtunes.
So, rather than write all about how much I love musical theater, I'm just going to re-post the movie my dancer best friend made about me for a class and the unrealistic life I lead.
Much thanks to LW for filming my life as it circles the drain.
