themegalooThank you, everyone who's commented to me lately and I haven't responded too. It meant a lot. ♥ My high school is raising money to try to help Mary's grandkids who she was taking care of. I found out they were actually in the room with her when she was shot. Which is. aksjhasfhkjshf. I can't even imagine.
But that said. Life is settling back into normalcy, which is really, really relieving even if it's still exhausting and stressful. That much I can deal with pretty easily at least. Things are still sad and they won't stop being sad, but I've been in a good mood today. Which I refuse to feel guilty for.
Watch me break this up in cuts to save your flists.
The weather's shot back up to where it's supposed to be and it's even staying warm at night now, so maybe if this keeps up the pool water won't be so icey cold and swimming can be more comfortable and less...numbing. *_*
I'm working on actually getting a TAN this year. For the past many, many years my arms would end up tan and absolutely nothing else would be. This would be on account of having burned my legs VERY badly once and then having to ride in a horse show with tight pants and tight boots. let me tell you, that is not pleasant. So I almost never wear anything that isn't pants, even though I OWN skirts and shorts and all, but the coloration is so drastically different I get self-conscious about it. So, pool, tanning lotion on the legs and not the arms, and I've been accompanying Steph and Bailey to the tanning bed a few times a week. Which is really, really relaxing.
Funny/Exciting stuff uncut:
I ordered a new laptop yesterday! This is something I'm massively excited about. It's the first big purchase I've made ON MY OWN with my OWN MONEY and it will also be the first NEW computer I've ever had. It's a Dell. It's red. It's got SPACE and MEMORY and *___* In the words of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nickelodeon, it will be so sexy.
I also spent about four hours today while at work browsing thinkgeek.com. Let me tell you, that shit is hilarious. The alarm clocks! The lights! The random gadgets and games and ANNOYING DEVICES! It's a great way to waste time.
I also got a good kick out ofcopperbadge today, which has led me to believe that since it's actually possible, the fact that there is no fic about Chopper having to fix someone's FRACTURED PENIS is a great, great tragedy. Please agree with me here.
On Dragonfly Wings opens soon. Rehearsals have been getting steadily better, though they're still exhausting not from a lack of stamina, but from my intense belief that if I'm not winded when I get off stage, I'm not giving it my all. But a bunch of the cast went out to karaoke tonight. I considered joining them briefly, but came to the conclusion that I'm singing my guts out daily ALREADY, I don't need to over-strain it even more and destroy it. I cracked once backstage tonight as it is. Which led to Selina breaking down laughing at me and thus a lack of volume from the two of us until we got it back together. Oh well. The songs are written with crazy ranges though. One minute I'll be belting in my chest voice and then I'm flying up in my upper register two seconds later. Geeze. And I'm only singing 2nd as opposed to my usual 1st soprano on ONE song. We just need more volume constantly, so I keep upping mine and dragging everyone else with me. It never worked in high school, but I think it is here. Which is pretty cool!
I guess that's about all for the moment. I have a bit of reading to do still and I still need to finish my j_e fic and a million other fandom things. Gah. And I really want to write a pimp post for Celtic Thunder. It's such great music. Really calms me and lets me clear my head. I think it's what's keeping me going and not losing my brain right now, to be honest!
I hope people are starting to feel a little better about yesterday and its tragedy. I know it's not going to go away or anything, but still being able to enjoy things in life is so important, at least to me. I'd go crazy if I just stayed sad for ages. I don't deal with it well. So. ♥ because that's really all I can do.
