Marc and I both learned something new today during his playtime in the yard. And made a new friend - there is an albino raccoon that's moved in behind the house. I didn't know those existed until today. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this little one to make sure he doesn't get hurt.

With the clothes I get from my dreams, I can be a Queen every year for Halloween and this year was no exception. It was difficult to figure out which outfit I was going to wear, but eventually I figured it out and I was able to convince Roman to dress up too. By the end of the night, I didn't want to take off my crown; if only it were acceptable for me to wear it all the time here.

And for anyone who has taken the time to actually read my recent rants about my dreams, my most recent one was better. We robbed a fucking bank. Of course it didn't go as planned, but I got to plan the entire thing and tell everyone else what to do.

As...interesting as that was, I'm certainly glad to be myself again. Especially with tech week starting today. That would have been hard to explain. Though I'm fairly certain that "Don't schedule rehearsals on or around Halloween" is in the unofficial putting on a production while in Orange County handbook at this point.

C'est la vie. Onwards to tech, then previews running the 12 through 14th with the official opening for Bonnie & Clyde the 15th and running through December 29th.

So...I've been back in the area, for about a week.

Now, that I've explained things to my dad (aka calmed him down), most things are starting to feel normal again...mostly. I'm ready to start socializing again but I have to minimize how much I put myself out there, even with the fitness classes. The latter may prove to be quite difficult but it's for the best.

It seems like everyone lately is telling me I need to loosen up, that I should get out more, have fun. I know how to have fun. I’m just…busy.

I thought maybe they’d shut up if I developed some kind of a social life, but that's easier said than done. Then someone suggested I try the internet. I think it was meant to be insulting, but actually it didn’t sound like the worst idea. So here I am.
