Okay, no one has posted in like, an ETETNITY...

...so I thought I'd make a post. My summer has been all "fits and starts" in the ways of fun. Like, I'll go for two weeks where I'll have plenty to do, and then several weeks where I'll have nothing to do and sit around the house by myself all day and read and stuff like that. Which I guess isn't all that bad, some time to myself and all. But since both my parents are working all year round it's like this a lot, so some days I'm bored out of my mind and feel like I'm going to scream if I don't have some human contact.

Has anyone here heard of Spring Awakening? It's this Broadway show that I'm OBSESSED with and I saw it for the first time last week. It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I really am obsessed with it. Like, I know the names of all the actors in it and the lyrics to all the songs and stuff. I think Wicked is still my favorite, but Spring Awakening is an extremely strong second. Scott might remember that at CTY this year my roommate and I would always listen to the soundtrack during classs, because we were allowed to listen to our iPods when we were reading and writing and stuff. And it doesn't hurt that the guy who has the lead, Jonathan Groff, is VERY cute.

I just finished reading Little Women. It was really good, but I was mad at one of the characters in the beginning for not marrying who I thought she should have. And then the guy went and married her sister, who annoyed the heck out of me. But it turned out alright in the end. Now I'm reading Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I'm halfway through, and it's pretty funny so far. Funnier than I expected. Though the explanations of some of the spaceships and things kind of confuse me.

When do you guys start school? Just think, we're all going to be in high school this year. I start Stuyvesant on September 4th. Curse Labor Day for being so early this year. I love the summer-it's my favorite season, hands down-and I don't want it to end. It goes to fast, like you blink and it's over and you can't even believe it's been here and you feel like you wasted it even though you've actually been doing stuff. It doesn't even feel like summer here-it's like 50 degrees out. I'm wearing fleece sweatpants, a long sleeve shirt, and fuzzy slipper socks right now. And I haven't turned the fan on in days. It's so rainy and gross out I can't even go outside and read. Blah. Very boring.

Is anyone out there? There are such long stretches between posts now. Don't forget about CTY year 1!!!
