nita: Running around with water balloons and dressed as ninjas sounds AWESOME. I hope you have fun with it and all the other things you plan on doing this summer. 
Just in general reply to the talk about summer reading programs: I never really participated in them. I never went to the library between the ages of roughly 7 and 12, instead preferring to read and re-read books I bought (my Harry Potter books are so battered as proof of this). Although, when I did finally get a library card again, SYWTBAW and DW were two of the first books I took out. I'm glad you guys have fun participating in them, though.
Mona: Thank you! I've been out of school for a month, so there has been nothing better to do than watch episodes of Bones, read fanfics, and read actual novels besides working. I think it was a bit of overload, though, as I couldn't sleep settled after watching so many episodes in a row.
bookworms: Good luck with your exams, and it sucks about not being able to see Tamora Pierce. She was one of my favorite authors when I was younger, and I still think she's amazing, even though I haven't read her books in a while.
Wolf: It was me who went to Rocky Horror, and it was amazing! The movie itself is horrible, but it's the audience participation that's awesome. There was so much rice being thrown during the first wedding scene it was crazy. People also yelled lines at the screen when they thought it was appropriate. I yelled "spit it out!" during the "antici...pation" line during Sweet Transvestite. Seriously, there's no reason for a pause that long.
I threw rice, stuck a newspaper over my head, waved my cell phone back and forth as a light, snapped a rubber glove, threw a roll of toilet paper, threw a piece of toast, wore a party hat, and danced the Time Warp. The entire theater stood up to dance the Time Warp, which was amazing to see.
I thought the movie was supposed to start at midnight, but there was a costume contest before the movie actually started, with people dressing up as Transylvanians, Brad, Janet, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia, Eddie, Frank, and Rocky. There was also a guy who was dressed up as William Wallace, and tried to enter as a Transylvanian. He actually had nothing under his kilt, and the guy running the contest kind of gave him a rough time about participating. Not too many people had corsets on, which isn't surprising considering we had snow this past weekend, no joke, but there was some.
There were dummy actors in front of the screen acting out the movie as it happened, and the actor for Dr Scott for most of the movie was a dummy taped to a chair that they threw down the stairs leading up to the stage/screen sometimes as the scene required. Rocky was chased by Frank through the theater during Sword of Damocles, I think?
The actors requested afterward that people clean up in their personal space if possible, and after the lights came up, I saw why: there was stuff EVERYWHERE. It was crazy.
I finally got home and went to bed at 3 a.m., and went to work at 10 that morning after six hours of sleep. I was fine while I was working, after a slow start, but at 5 p.m., when I was done, I started to crash.
I demoed toilet paper at work today, which I enjoyed.
One of the theatres in my city isn't producing a Shakespeare play for the coming season, which is surprising. They're putting on Billy Bishop Goes to War, Intimate Apparel, August: Osage County, Hunchback, The Three Musketeers, and Little Women: The Musical. I'm interested in seeing Intimate Apparel, August: Osage County, Hunchback, and Little Women: The Musical, if only in wishful thinking and my dreams. Still, I want to at least try go see a couple.
Okay, it's now bedtime. Catch you all later!
