Actually, I've been frequenting a theatre camp. We were originally going to put on The Tempest, but they switched it to A Midsummer Night's Dream because there weren't enough roles. I was completely and utterly pissed at this decision, because I am definitely all Midsummered out, but I rolled with it anyway, because that's the shy, quiet wimp that I am.
Anyway, I got the part of Puck, which, I must say, is VERY definitely from my previous role of Helena. Unfortunately, I think it's too different. I'm so used to being all lovey dovey and cute that this part is challenging for me. I swear, the director is out to get me. He constantly tells me to deliver my lines more magically and act like a fairy. Holy Frijoles, man, who do you think I am? But I'm "getting better."
It doesn't make it any better that I'm still grieving over the loss of my favorite show, Sherlock. I spend half my day checking out fan videos on YouTube. I'm not sure why, but at the moment I'm shipping Sherlock and Moriarty. Here's my favorite relationship video between them:

I know, I know, why that song? You may find it shocking, but I am actually TOTALLY OBSESSED with that song. It's the first poppy, badly written song I've loved in a long time. That video changed my life, and I love it so much! That song HAS to be some kind of message from Moriarty!
I also have a huge crush on Moriarty. It's probably because he makes such adorable faces. Yeah, you know what I mean...:)
And a strange thing's been happening every time I watch that show. It's pretty much a vicious, confusing cycle involving Josh Moriarty, Jim Moriarty, Mark Foster, and Kimbra. I'll try to explain. So, ever since I went to that concert, I've been obsessed with The Kooks, Foster The People, and Kimbra, and so has my sister. So I looked up Foster The People (cause that's what I do, I stalk bands when I like them) and when I saw a picture of Mark Foster, I immediately thought, MORIARTY! Seriously, Mark looks just like Jim. It's scary, actually! Don't believe me, here's a few examples:
Told you! So, then I looked up Kimbra, and found out that she was dating a guy named Josh Moriarty. Freaky, right? I see the name "Moriarty" and immediately think of Jim Moriarty from Sherlock, who's played by the actor Andrew Scott. And since Andrew Scott looks just like Mark Foster, I think Kimbra's dating Mark Foster. I then turn to my sister and go, "I didn't know Kimbra was dating the guy from Foster The People!" and then she laughs at me for ages.
But really, I have a whole new outlook on Sherlock! In the pool scene I just want Moriarty to say, "This is nonstop, baby. You've got me going crazy," or, "Won't you settle down with me, settle down?" Or maybe a Foster The People quote, which would be more fitting: "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet." Even better, "And every day that you want to change, you want to change, yeah, I'll help you see it through 'cause I just really wanna be with you." And, of course, most of all, "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but here's my number so call me maybe." I think any of these would be way more intimidating than "I will burn you."
All that aside, though, my summer hasn't been too bad. My mom's been gone for about nine days now on a business trip, so we've been having takeout every night. That's been fun.
And I really missed my friend Alice, so I'm happy to see her at camp.
So basically, I really shouldn't complain, but I'm so much of a pessimist that I really can't help it.
Happy summer everybody!
