This is the end of my first week of summer vacation. "Erin," you may ask, "how could that be? Your university completed its spring term nigh the end of May, which is how you got to go have a great time at Hanover as detailed in
this Compendium entry!" Well, clearly you were not paying attention to the whole entry, because I also talked a lot about how I had to write a paper about Emily Dickinson that was finished in the wee hours of the first of June. After which I had a Basement Musical Dance Party to work off all the crazy energy I had pent up from that experience. I had never wanted to move around so much in all my life. I wanted to
work out, people. That's how bad it got. And I got way obsessed with
Rent. I am still not any more sure why this happened than I was on Compendium. I realized after the Basement Musical Dance Party (at which my beloved friends probably thought I was insane but were too nice to say anything), though, that after months of not doing theatre, not reading for pleasure, not writing anything but academic papers, my creativity and imagination were dammed up to overflowing, and when that happens, I revert to Ten-Year-Old Erin. "Let's play
Rent! I'll be Maureen!" It's... weird, but seriously, that's what happens to me sometimes.
June 3rd was this journal's fifth birthday! My Turtle is, like, in
kindergarten now! I feel like a very proud, but neglectful parent. But don't worry, I have plenty of plans for your entertainment and mine to blog about over the summer. I won't disclose all of them yet, but I do plan to start updating Story Dice again in the nearest future possible. Also, tomorrow I am going to see
Wicked and will post my full review! I AM SO EXCITED!
For now, the backlog of icons I've been collecting for months!

If you go to my Photobucket for whatever reason, bear in mind that if the picture is not titled "mine," I probably stole it and forget who from. So... dun re-steal.
