The silly thing is...
I've been on LJ about 120 times since the release of Deathly Hallows, and not once have I posted an entry. I am a silly, silly person. Perhaps that isn't even the right word? Find one for me!
And what do I do? I pour over people's reactions to DH, I read new fan-fic, I look at pretty art, I whine about LJ's current crackdown on smutty goodness. I read my flist every so often, nodding, smiling, giggling, and sighing over the once-connections that have grown so pale. I miss my fandom. And my fandom friends.
So what's my problem? Why do I have to be so peripheral? Why can't I just BE a part of things again? It's a legit question!

Life in the world is fun!
I just finished an awesome run of the production Grease, in which I played Miss Lynch and had the time of my life doing it. Not a fan of the show in usual conditions, but I love character acting and it was too good to pass up.
I'm now working as a counselor and the main choreographer at a kid's musical theatre camp. We are doing.... get this - "PARRY HOTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FUR".
It's pretty amazing. The plot is... minimal. You know all those awful parodies on MNFF? It's like one of those but with surprisingly legit comedy.
But I get to work with my very best friends, design the set, choreograph the You'll/I'll Ball dance number, and force children to read Harry Potter (muhahaha). And tomorrow is Hogwarts dress-up day. YES.
Still... as much fun as it is, the days are long and exhausting. Sort of like NEWTS times 3 weeks. I'm afraid "Shhhh" and "If you can hear me clap once...." and speeches about R.E.S.P.E.C.T. are growing old fast. Theatre kids are like regular kids x100 on crack.

Oh yeah... I'm starting to write again.
