I feel pretty, continued.

This is to clear up a few things from my last post.

The following is lyrics of "I feel pretty," from West Side Story, aka the Whateversexual theme song.

Underlying meaning of the reason behind choosing this song as the cult's theme: Feel pretty no matter what you gender/sexuality is today.

MARIA
I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and GAY!
And I pity any girl who isn't me today.

I feel charming, oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty that I hardly can believe I'm real.

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress, such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning and entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy!

GIRLS:
Have you met my good friend Maria,
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her,
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock.

She thinks she's in love. She thinks she's in Spain.
She isn't in love, she's merely insane.

It must be the heat
Or some rare disease,
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas.

Keep away from her, send for Chino!
This is not the Maria we know!

Modest and pure, polite and refined,
Well-bred and mature and out of her mind!

MARIA:
I feel pretty, oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key.
A committee should be organized to honor me.

I feel dizzy, I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty, Miss America can just resign!

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
(What mirror where?)
Who can that attractive girl be?
(Which? What? Where? Whom?)
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning and entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy!

~The end~

that's a fantastic song!! I'

that's a fantastic song!!
I'm gonna listen to it when I get home.

... I feel like writing more gender and sexuality queer lyrics to it... like she's loved by a chick, and then in the second stanca she's a boy, something like that... that would be cool...

isn't it weird to watch yourself grow up?

Be yourself. Because if you're busy being someone else, then who's gonna be you?
