60 Things Newsies Taught Me:

1. Guys who run Newspapers are really mean, always stand up to them as much as possible
2. Have a nice reporter pay for your lunch as much as possible.
3. Never ask a smart ass how he slept. You'll always get a smart ass answer.
4. Don't sleep next to short annoying fellows that are likely to steal your cigars. Unless of course you want to start off the morning with a musical tirade.
5. Try to make sure the towel is next to you if you plan on smearing shaving cream all over your face. Then you won't have to make a scene causing Skittery's vibrato to go out of whack.
6. Give a newsie a curtain and he'll dry his hands on it.
7. Pelvic thrusts are better then Christmas presents.
8. Dancing in an alley, trying to look exasperated makes you look incredibly hot.
9. It takes an orphan with a stutter. God knows why...but it does.
10. Pretty much anybody can lie. Even Mr. Goody Two Shoes Walkin Mouth and his liddle twerp of a brother.
11. You can get away with wearing clothes that don't match, but having a gold pocket watch, if you're a street rat.
12. It doesnt matter that the woman you're drooling over looks like she could be your grandmother...
13. Size doesnt matter. *smirks*
14. A little cane with an intricate golden top and a wooden slingshot can do wonders for your level of intimidation.
15. You don't need to actually be there to have a mother thats looking for you.
16. Even if you give a nun a dirty look, she'll still smile and give you a piece of moldy bread.
17. When people raise the prices of anything, always listen to a guy named Jack. He'll tell ya what to do!
18. Climb statues as much as possible, it'll make you feel like you're near 10 again !
19. Your friends will always be there for you, and they'll defend you to the end with their sling shots !
20. Writing the word STRIKE on chalkboards makes ya look really good!
21. Don't ever wear spandex if you're involved in a boxing match.
22. If a fast talking, delusional, Irish boy tells you his name is Kelly...he's lying.
23. He's only being nice to you because he thinks your sister's hot...
24. If you have a family, trying to blend in with "poor orphans and runaways" is most likely a bad idea. You end up looking stupid and being accused of having an affair with the reporter.
25. All you really NEED is a dime a day and a few black eyes if you look like Jack.
26. Anyone can be a vantrilaquest. (example: I'm not like you!)
27. In New York City you can just break out into song whenever you feel like it. Although I suppose a reason is always good...did Kenny Ortega have one? No...

33. Smoking helps ya think better. (remember: Never take me too seriously...)
34. If you're the only female influence in a crowd of young boys you have a pretty good chance seeing one of them without their...papes.
35. You can wish for a porcelain tub with boiling water until you're blue in the face and nine times out of ten somebody will mess up your order and you'll end up with somebody elses new shoes with stupid matching laces. It's just the way life works.
36. If you're buying lunch nobody cares that you ripped up your couch to make your bowtie.
37. Never depend on a guy named Racetrack to watch your little brother. Where WAS Les in that next scene???
38. Don't be surprised if your friend (who happens to be a pathelogical lying, obsessive, delusional, lunatic) turns on you to fulfill his own dreams.
39. If you are planning on becoming a newsie, get there before all the good names are taken. How did you think he ended up with the name Snoddy?
40. Guys named Oscar and Morris always stink, don't bother questioning this, just take my word for it...
41. Always accept rides from anyone named Roosevelt. Odds are they're really nice and'll help ya as much as possible.

43. Never dress like Little Bo Peep when you're going to a Rally.
44. If you know you're going to get another three months in the House of Refuge leave his sauerkraut alone! Stories based on actual events are always LOOSELY based. Sure Spot Conlon wore pink suspenders. Did he tap dance on tables? We aren't quite sure...

50. It's harder then you think to sing and shave at the same time.
51. The easiest way to distract a newsie is to talk about a girl...or a bet...or a fight...oh hell it aint hard to distract a newsie. Try shoving him in the head.
52. If you grab someone's towel don't be surprised if they do a little leap thing over your head. These boys are flexible! *grins*
53. If you burst out into song and dance people will look like they're used to it but they are really thinking, "I wonder why they don't just explain to these poor boys that they couldn't dance themselves out of a hole?"
54. If Mush runs in front of you and starts doing flips just nod and walk away.
55. It's physically impossible to actually eat a newspaper, so when Weasel tries to make you eat em...don't.
56. There is no point in lying if you can improve the truth. Same thing? Nah...
57. Grab a bandana and jump up on a statue and all of the sudden you're God.
58. Make friends with Spot Conlon. It's just easier that way.
59. To live is to be a newsie, to be a newsie is to live.

i hate it when the voices in my head go silent, i never know what they are planning

some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head... with a hammer

i didn't mean to push your buttons, i was just looking for mute

Some people are like slinkies. They're not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

i know the voices aren't real, but they have some great ideas.

i know right from wrong: wrong is the fun one.

i'm not clumsy. its just the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies, and the wall gets in the way.

And then Satan said: Put the alphabet in math.

I am unable to quit, as i am currently too legit.

Sometimes I sit quietly and wonder why i'm not in an asylum... then i take a look around and realize... maybe i already am.

Good friends don't let you do stupid things alone.

Its just a matter of time before they add the word syndrome after my last name.

Words cannot express how much I don't care.

When you're dead you don't know you're dead, its only difficult for others. Its the same when you're stupid.

I shook my family tree and a bunch of nuts cam out.

Dear Karma, I have a list of people you missed.

Im always dissapointed when a liars pants dont actually catch fire.

People keep thinking that i care... weird.

sometimes i question my sanity. sometimes it replies.

i cant go to hell, satan has a restraining order against me.

light travels faster than sound. thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Sometimes i wrestle with my demons, sometimes we just snuggle.

Nerd? i prefer the term intelectual badass.

When people ask dumb questions, i feel obliged to give sarcastic answers.

My degree of sarcasm depends on your degree of stupidity.

I'm just a radioactive spiderbite away from greatness.
