the ballad of Sweeney Todd

There was a barber and his wife
And she was beautiful
A foolish barber and his wife
She was his reason and his life
And she was beautiful
And she was virtuous
And he was...naive





Wait! What's your rush, what's your hurry?
You gave me such a
Fright, I thought you was a ghost
Half a minute, can't you
Sit, sit you down. Sit!
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks.
Did you come in for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if me head's a little vague
What was that?
But you'd think we had the plague
From the way that people
Keep avoiding (no you don't!)
Heaven knows I try, sir
but there's no one comes in even to inhale.
Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale?

Mind you, I can hardly blame them
These are probably the worst pies in London
I know why nobody cares to take them
I should know
I make 'em
But good? No.
The worst pies in London.

And no wonder, with the price of meat what it is
When you get it.
Never
Thought I'd live to see the day
Men'd think was a treat finding poor
Animals
What are dyin' in the street
Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop
Does a business, but I notice somethin' weird
Lately all her neighbor's cats have disappeared.
Have to hand it to her
What I calls
Enterprise
Poppin' pussies into pies
Wouldn't do in my shop
Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick
And I'm telling you, them pussycats is quick.

No denyin' times is hard, sir
Even harder than the worst pies in London
Only lard and nothin' more.
Is that just
Revoltin'
All greasy and gritty
It looks like it's moltin'
And tastes like--
Well, pity
A woman alone
With limited wind
And the worst pies in London!
Ah, sir
Times is hard
Times is hard

that's no reason why they can't be friends

So here it is. Here are the facts about my love life thus far, and some of my opinions on subjects of that nature.

- In my mind, if I have "liked" someone, I have had feelings for them for the duration of at least one year. Otherwise, it's just a crush.

- I have had crushes on many, many boys.

- According to my definition, I have "liked" a total of 3 guys.

- I have never held hands with a guy for a reason of any kind of romantic nature. (I've held hands with guys during games and whatnot, but not otherwise.)

- I have never kissed a guy. (or a girl, for that matter...)

- I have been asked out once. We never actually went on a date. And this was 4 months ago. It's not like it happened in high school...

- It goes without saying, therefore, that I have never had a boyfriend.

- I have never even had any boy "like" me. At least not that I've been informed of.

- I am generally of the opinion that guys and girls cannot be really good friends without it becoming of a romantic nature for at least one of them. Of course, the definition of "really good friends" can be tricky, so this rule is very subjective.

- I am not at all a fan of high school relationships, mostly because they almost never last past high school. Plus, I am also of the opinion that if you date someone, that should mean that you have in mind that you might marry them. And I feel like you shouldn't be worrying about that in high school!!! And in high school, you're too young to know if you're in love. I sure thought I was in love in high school...and I was oh so wrong.

- I think, as a girl, that one of the WORST possible things to say to a girl is, "I like you, but I don't want to actually DO anything about it." Guys, in general it is NOT a good idea to say this to a girl. Yes, it is good to have that confirmation of your feelings, but if you don't intend to do anything about it, it's not worth it. Why don't you want to do anything about your feelings? Are we not good enough? Are we not worth the trouble of a relationship? So...don't do it. Don't tell us you like us unless you are willing to pursue that relationship!

- Ladies. PLEASE ATTEMPT to dress modestly! Guys are always aware of your body, much more so than you think. I am SO not a fan of bikinis, Sophie shorts, short shorts in general, and much more. Ladies, this isn't about dressing the way you want, it's about protecting your guy friends and dressing in ways that make you look beautiful and yet doesn't draw attention to your body. Guys will notice you enough without that kind of help...

Okay, that's enough of that. Oh, by the way, I happen to think it would be freakin SWEET if this is how life could really be....


JUNO
You know, I’ve been thinking. I’m
really sorry I was such a huge
bitch to you. You didn’t deserve
that. You never deserve any of the
poo I unload on you.

BLEEKER
You know it’s okay.

JUNO
Also, I think I’m in love with you.

BLEEKER
What, you mean as friends?

JUNO
No, for real. I think you are the
coolest person I’ve ever met. And
you don’t even have to try.

BLEEKER
I try really hard, actually...

JUNO
No, you’re naturally smart. You
always think of the funniest things
to do. Remember when you passed me
that postcard during Spanish class,
and it was addressed like, “Junebug
MacGuff, Row 4, Third Seat From the
Blackboard”? And it said, “I’m having fun in
Barcelona- wish you were here”?
That was hilarious.

BLEEKER
I was just bored. I only think school
is awesome like, 80% of the time.

JUNO
Plus, you’re the only person who
doesn’t stare at my stomach all the
effing time. You actually look at my
face. And every time I look at you, my heart
starts pounding.

BLEEKER
Mine too.

JUNO
Basically, I’m completely smitten
with you, and I don’t care if I’m
making an ass out of myself right
now, because you’ve seen me make an
ass out of myself a million times,
and you still want to be my friend.

BLEEKER
Well, yeah. You’re the best friend
I’ve ever had, even when you’re
being kind of evil.

JUNO
That’s all I need from you. That’s
more than I could ever ask for.
You’re just golden, dude.

BLEEKER
Can we make out now?

JUNO
Okay.
