"Is everybody happy now? Is everybody clear? We could drive out to the dunes tonight, 'cause summer's almost here..." ~counting crows
Last weekend I went to Long Beach Island with 3 friends, and I had a great time. Funny story, though (actually painful for me): my eyelids got really badly sunburned. They're swollen and bright red and I can hardly blink my eyes. I laid out on the beach with my eyes closed and I didn't think to put sunblock on my eyelids (who thinks of that?!?). So now they're burned. They're slowly getting better, though, which is good. On Sunday night I either looked like a clown, one of those fashion models with strange, exotic makeup, or someone who got punched in each eye. It was actually pretty funny. Other than getting burned, I had fun. We went out to 2 bars on Saturday night, and the second one had a good live band. We did lots of shopping and spent Sunday at the beach. I was the only person in the ocean the whole time we were at the beach; the water was absolutely freezing, but once I stayed in for awhile I (almost) got used to it. I stayed in for almost an hour and then thawed out on the beach. I can't go to the beach and not go swimming; the ocean is the essence of the beach. Going to the beach without swimming in the ocean is like going to Disney World and not going on the rides.
Work should be fun in the next couple of weeks; there are multiple shoots going on that I have a chance to attend.
My brother's graduation is next week, so we're having a party this Sunday and I'm looking forward to seeing lots of my relatives. One set of grandparents arrives on Friday, which I'm excited about.
I guess that's all for now!

"'I’m sure to find true love under angel wings,' assured and locked so tight I know she’s whispering. Alone and savoring life alone tonight, she’s coming out into a world so wont of light." ~the working title
I don't think I've updated in awhile, so I'll try to recap what I've been up to recently. This week has been pretty busy.
On Tuesday my friend and I went to see the Broadway play The History Boys. We did student rush and our seats were pretty bad, which probably made me enjoy the play less than I would have otherwise. It was good, though. It's won all the major awards this season and will win Best Play at the Tonys on Sunday (I really wish The Lieutenant of Inishmore would win, but I'm afraid that won't happen). The History Boys was particularly interesting to me as a future teacher. It explored the debate over different teaching styles and the purpose of education. It was funny and sad and all the boys are absolutely gorgeous, which definitely added to the show's appeal.
On Wednesday I went to see the Broadway production of Tarzan. I only went because I had a free ticket from a very kind friend, but I ended up enjoying it. My seat was fabulous; it was a $100 ticket, center orchestra row D. I got lucky. The best part of the show was getting to stare at Josh Strickland for 2 hours. Oh. My. Gosh. He is beautiful. Seriously. Beautiful. And he was wearing only a loincloth. I looked online for pictures of him in his loincloth but I couldn't find any, so a headshot will have to suffice.
Last week I saw The Drowsy Chaperone on broadway, which is another fantastic show. I think it's my favorite of the season. And I got a picture with Sutton Foster, who was incredibly sweet. If you're looking for one show to see and you're a big theatre fan, go see that one.
Last night I stayed in the city with my UR synchro friend Allison, which was fun. I got to meet some of her nice friends and just hang out. So this week has been good.
Tomorrow I'm going to LBI for the weekend with some friends, which I'm really looking forward to. I hope it doesn't rain. The beach is not fun in the rain. It should be a nice, relaxing trip, though.
The Tonys are on Sunday, which, for a huge theatre dork like me, is one of the most exciting nights of the year. There are some tight races, so it should be good (I may or may not be in an awful mood on Monday depending on who wins).
