Even though I'm getting old, and I'll never get everything done, I still like my birthday. A day in the summer when I can just goof off. And of course, I stretch it out as much as possible.

Yesterday, however, was thoroughly productive. I think I did ok at the auditions for "Merry Wives," although I may not have a schedule that will sufficiently allow participation. Maybe in the spring.

Right now, I'm redyeing my clothes for Netherworld. I'm going to hang up a wall hanging that's been sitting waiting for a home for several months, and I'm going to try to work on the stuff in the shed. It's been so humid that a mere 86 degrees is unbearable.

I'm going to try to go off with [livejournal.com profile] sapphire_d sometime while she is on vacation and go art supply shopping. In addition to the endless array of pens, inks, and papers we could indulge in, I also need paint.

See, we have decided upon a use for the old fan blades: Squirrel baffles. The squirrels are still coming in slowly, although we've done a great deal to make things less palatable for them. Our next move will be truly eccentric-looking: Fan blades in the trees between the squirrel approaches and the feeder. I thought painting them with pictures of birds would be fun and good practice.

As a nerd, I always enjoyed the back-to-school shopping. Being my birthday, or close to it, mom would always indulge me extra... especially since I hated clothes-shopping. Colored markers, one of those giant cookies, getting to pick some of my own stuff, that kind of thing. On these trips, I would get specific about the brands of paper, pens, pencils, folders, notebooks, I would be using. Stickers. One year it was stickers.

It's not close to Christmas AT ALL, so people give you presents. And summer holidays: You can get plenty of people to come to your party, particularly in the dog days. Pool parties, water parks, amusement parks.

Messy food. Watermelon, homemade ice cream.

Nobody makes the whole class sing happy birthday to you because there's no school.

Does that answer?
