I have been absent...

Yeah, I've been away for a while. And then I forgot to post. I fail.
Anyway, ASP was a lot of awesomeness, like it always is. This year, we fixed insulation in walls and under a house and fixed some floors. For the second year in a row I found myself staying late on Friday with the rest of the crew. Also for the second year in a row, I singlehandedly installed most of a floor. This year, however, I was hammering (last year I was drilling), and afterwards I had a huge headache. It wasn't fun. YOU try hammering for two hours in a confined space, and YOU see what it does to YOU. But at least it's done, and this week's crew is probably doing something equally important and full of awesomeness.
Anyway, now I've started a Shakespeare camp, and it is (from my impression of the first day) rather awesome. We get to do at least an hour of combat training a day, which makes me very happy. And there will be girls cross-dressing as guys in the show, since there are more girls than guys in the cast and there are more male parts than female parts. The show is "Romeo and Juliet." All the guys will be playing Romeo at some point; all the girls will be Juliet. I really hope that my non-Juliet bit is in the role of a dude (Mercutio, Benvolio, or Tybalt, maybe?) who is most likely to get into a fight, simply because doing stage combat is SO MUCH FUN! You get to run around looking far more badass than you probably actually are, and you get to 'hit' people and not actually hurt them (and if they fall wrong, then it's probably their fault).
