I'm alive!
It's a bad thing when your mom emails you wanting to know why you haven't updated lately. :) It's a good thing, though, when you haven't updated because you've been too busy being out of the house being social. It was a very good weekend. I spent Saturday and part of Sunday over at Dawn and Jason's. On Saturday we met a friend of ours from Dark Age of Camelot, who lives in Toledo. It's always neat to meet someone you've gotten to know online first.
Then on Sunday, I have to confess, I bought one of the cheap tickets for the matinee of Rent and saw it again. The good news is, I got the worst of my jonesing out of my system. It's like I told Dawn, watching it is like this total catharsis for me. I laugh, I cry, I feel like I'm going to bust open with joy, all in the space of two and a half hours. I talked to a couple of the Rentheads sitting outside the theatre as I was leaving. They'd been there since 9 that morning to get the really cheap orchestra seats (where I sat the first time I saw it two years ago) that are traditionally offered for the show. At least I haven't gone that far yet, right? Not that I haven't thought about it, I'm just too addicted to comfort to do it. ;)
In other news, I think I'm ready to start writing again. I dreamed a short story last night, which is a good sign. Now if I could just remember the dream...
