List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers♡
Thanks also to @cody-helix02 who sent this over to me.
Kelli O'Hara and Audra McDonald singing Lily's Eyes from Miscast '22. It's perfection and I watch it regularly.
2. Going to find Blair Mayne in Newtownards recently, and the elderly lady who said "Oooh, he does take a good picture, doesn't he?" as I snapped a pic of his statue.
3. Live theatre. After a long time of not going nearly as often as I've liked, I've seen three musicals, one play and an opera in the last few months and I am living for all of it.
4. Nate Mann singing a bit of Marry the Night in this one interview clip.
5. Horror movies. It is difficult to explain how much I adore a good horror movie. One of the best ones I've seen recently is Speak No Evil (2022). Fun fact about that, one of my besties sent an article headlined "This absolutely traumatizing horror film does its job too well", about this film at the *exact* moment the credits rolled when I watched it. Anyway, I loved it but be warned.
