Pairings:
My Wicked pairings would be both Fiyeraba and Gelphie. But don't be angry with me, in the musical I can see Fiyero and Elphaba seriously hooking up cause it actually happens. But I see Glinda sorta pining for Elphaba, but Elphaba seeing her as a friend. Similar to Marius and Eponine (Hmm, idea for a fanfic! Paws off peoples, mine!), I picture 'For Good' as 'A Little Fall of Rain' where Glinda confesses love to Elphaba, Elphaba just realizes that Glinda's in love with her. In the novel, I see Elphaba as sorta bisexual, going for both Glinda and Fiyero, because A) She has flat out sex with Fiyero and has a kid with him, so she must like him and B) She is always in lover spats with Glinda and I see them starting to kiss afterwards. It's just me, I'm not forcing anyone to believe it.
My Phantom of the Opera pairings vary as well. I understand Raoul/Christine (The deformed guy never gets the girl. Sad, it's true.) but I support Erik/Christine more because in Susan Kay's novel, Phantom, (Which is a fine novel, I suggest you read it!)Christine has sex with Erik WILLINGLY, for Erik could not rape her, rape was the crime he could not commit even after murder and torture. Obviously, since Christine shared that with him, she must of loved him. Again, just me, not forcing my beliefs on anyone. I don't care really for Erik/Raoul, Erik/Meg and I may like Erik/Mme. Giry, no promises though.
RENT pairings, let's see, ALL CANON ALL THE TIME!! In my RENT fic, "Bohemia Never Died!' Mark does donate sperm so Maureen can get pregnant, but Maureen only sees him as a friend. They don't have sex, no touching at all, just well, you know the rest from TV innuendo. I do like FRIENDSHIP fics between any of the bohos, such as Mark/Roger, Mimi/Angel, Collins/Maureen, etc., etc., etc. I don't really have to explain myself much in this area, so moving onto...
Les Misérables! Let's look into the depths of my brain. I do think Marius/Cosette is a good pairing, MAINLY because if it didn't exist, Eponine wouldn't sing 'On My Own,' (Oh, Marius/Cosette-haters-but-Eponine-lovers didn't think of that!) one of my favorite songs, and in the book it shows a relationship you rarely see nowadays. (And it's good, isn't it? Grand isn't it? (-Continues singing-)) I might also like Javert/Valjean because I think Javert is in love with Valjean. What one man hunts down another man for twenty years, without any help, and is not in love with him? Maybe that isn't such a valid explanation, but hey... Moving on, I despise hooking Eponine up with anyone, (Except maybe Montparnasse or Javert, when it's love and not something else.) God, it seems like I have to explain myself a lot when it comes to pairings.
Quotes:
"None of us can choose where we will love."-Erik
"That's why I call myself a witch: The Wicked Witch of the West, if you want the full glory of it. If people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention."-Elphaba
"Deep on the inside, aren't we all a little...wicked...?"-Me
"All I leave is a blood red rose..."-Me
"You know what the world's coming to when they name a city: Hannah, Montana."-Me
"Elphaba lives! The Wizard Lives! Ozma lives! Everyone lives, but us!"-Nor's message to Oz
"I am the girl who did no wrong, I am the woman who slept with my father, the Pope, I am a rock whose hands have appetites, I am the hunter who cannot kill, I am the mercenary with the French disease, I am a girl who lived among rocks, I am a woman who poisoned my enemies, I am a rock and my brothers are rocks, I am a cleric who trafficked in curses, I am the monster who let the child go, I am the dog with an unlikely past, I am the hunter who followed the coffin, I am the girl who did something wrong, I am the other side of the snow, I am a mirror, A mirror am I...
Mirror, mirror on the wall, whose the fairest one of all...?"
-Lucrezia Borgia's poem in Gregory Maguire's Mirror, Mirror
"Let’s say, for instance, I’m out of cheese. And then I’ll think, oh, but what if I go to the store and they’re out of cheese? I’d be like, “How can you be out of cheese?” “What do you mean ‘How can we be out of cheese?’ You’re out of cheese. People run out of cheese.” Then I’d be like, “Yeah, but you’re a store. You should have cheese stocked up in the back for people like me coming in looking for cheese.” And that’s when they send the manager over, who thinks he’s so cool for being the manager ‘cause his picture’s framed in the front of the store ‘cause he’s the manager, you know. And he’d be like, "What seems to be the problem, ma'am?" Which to me is so condescending, like “little lady.” I’d be like, “The little lady’s problem.…” He’d be like, “Who’s the little lady?” I’d be like, “Shut up and listen to me. You’re out of cheese and I want some.” And, he’s like, “Well, how about some cottage cheese?' Like he’s going to negotiate the situation, he’s a diplomat because he’s the manager. And I’d be like, “I don’t want cottage cheese; I want cheddar cheese. Sharp cheddar cheese is what I came in for. Sharp cheddar cheese and cottage cheese are not the same things. Just ‘cause they have the name cheese in the title doesn't make it a cheese at all. That’d be like going into a musical instrument store and saying ‘I’d like to buy a trumpet,’ and them saying 'I’m sorry, we're all out of trumpets, but would you like a shoehorn?’ See, that’s not the same thing, is it, Mr. Manager?” (‘Thank you for the shoe horn,’ you know.) And he starts getting all nervous and everything, because a crowd has formed and he starts feeling humiliated because they’re all sitting around mumbling “What seems to be the problem?,' I don’t know, she wants some cheese.' And, so, um, he just slaps me right across the face. And, umm, so that’s when Skip, the part time guy who works there, who hates the manager ‘cause he thinks so cool for being the manager and treats Skip like shit because he’s just the part time guy. And Skip’s going to quit in the fall and go back to school anyway. He doesn’t even need the money; he’s from a wealthy family. He’s just doing it for the experience because his family wants him to work one summer. And, so anyway, so, he takes the hose, and he goes to spray the manager right in the eye, right, and so, but that’s when he’s leaning down to pick the cottage cheese, so he misses him and he gets this old woman who’s standing right behind him, and she’s there picking out an avocado, because the older you are the less you eat and she all she wants is the avocado. So she screams out, “my eye, I’ve been sprayed in the eye with a produce hose.” And so then that’s when her nephew who's visiting from Austin, Texas is two aisles over buying tortilla chips because he thinks they're going to have guacamole. Little does he know it's one avocado. And so, he starts running “I’ll help you, aunt so and so,” running, and then when he’s running down the aisle when he slips on some water from the produce hose, breaks his leg, breaks his arm, bruises two ribs right there… gets a stitch put in his cheekbone, just one, but still, it’s a stitch. Chaos breaks out and it’s all over Hard Copy and Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood… "Lesbian Demands Cheese, Causes Riot" And I’m like, “I didn’t even want the cheese.” You know?"

Gay marriage:
1) Being gay is not natural. People always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Briteny Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans... --

Personal Notes:
I HATE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! It annoys me and I will never consider it a musical! Actually include that statement with Jonas Brothers, Naked Brothers Band (They just repeat lyrics over and over again, it's not intelligent and thought provoking.), and especially, (cringes) Hannah Montana.
PHANTOM PHANS UNITE!! In other words, wanna join a Phantom rpg? We are in need of male characters, but all are welcome if they abide by the rules! Let the Dream Begin (I'm Jean Jondrette and Lucien Faure on there!)
Wanna join a Wicked RPG? I run it and am Fiyero on it. I need people because it just opened. Here it is: Mourners of the Wicked
Progress:
Updating fics: Bohemia Never Died
Fics on hiatus: Les Simpsonables, Phantasma (Until I can get further with the story.)
Have you read the whole profile? Wow, you deserve to shake hands with Jonathan Larson (Pulls out giant cut out) What? The real one's dead, I ain't diggin' up no graves. May he rest in peace...
