I really am starting to envy Hermione Granger's ability to use a wand.

I'm having a harder time, here lately, with being...normal. Normal for me anyway. For some reason, whenever I'm around anyone, it feels like I'm not quite who I am. It's like my brain leaves me, and a massive buzzing noise issues from the space my brain vacated. I try to talk, but everything I say comes out wrong. When I mean to be charming, I'm insulting. When I mean to be funny, I'm boring. When I mean to be peaceful, all of the sudden I'm really cranky. I don't get it. I don't feel like I'm projecting who I actually am to everyone else. Just this strange vapor of a human being.

I have had such a hard time after the conclusion of Pride and Prejudice motivating myself to do anything. Every once in awhile I'll get up and clean my house because I can't stand it anymore. I've baked a few times. But during the day, when I should be working on theatre stuff...or house stuff...or whatever, I just can't motivate myself to do anything. I just want to sit on the couch, drink tea, and read Harry Potter books. I think I seriously wore myself out with that play. It's a miracle I escaped August without an ulcer, or doing myself some sort of inadvertent harm. It's come down to the fact that after this summer, I'm heartily sick of theatre. Well, that's not true. If I had just one job for the play I don't think I'd be in this state, but I had three. Actor, Costume Designer, person in charge of Ads. Plus I worked at the dentist office pretty much full time. I don't want to do anything, and frankly I think I'm entitled. Unfortunately, I'm directing the next play, which I wrote, and it goes up at the end of October.

Speaking of which, I auditioned for my show last week. Three weeks should be enough for our rehearsal process. It's not a huge show. But no one showed up to my auditions. No one. At all. *sigh* So now I have a quandry. I hate quandries. They make my life harder.

My taste buds have left the building

Wow, I just burnt my tongue on some INSANELY hot lemon garlic chicken leftovers. Holy crap. I apparently microwaved it to the scalding temperature. Ok. Now that that painful experience is over, maybe in a few days I'll regrow my taste buds.

For the past couple of days I've had things I've wanted to blog about, but I haven't had the time. Now that I have the time I can't think of one single thing I wanted to say. So, because of this I'll give you a video that has brought me a lot of joy in the past few days. Enjoy.
