All the strange, strange creatures...

Rawr. Packing up to leave... later today. Yes, I can only ever pack at the last minute. It's a bad habit of mine, but the bright side is that I kick ass at packing. As Rizzy and I were saying later, being a military brat, there are skills you pick up alongside all the dysfunction!

I just ran across my box of RENT playbills. I don't know why I still have them, except that I keep having a spaz at the thought of throwing them out. It seems wrong somehow. Of course, lugging a boxful of playbills across the country (several times now, often when we had VERY LIMITED PACKING SPACE) isn't the sanest of things, but... eh, I never claimed to be all that sane. It's too bad there's no one I know who would want a random RENT playbill. Seriously, I have about fifty of them. *Rolls eyes*

I'm not sure when I acquired this many clothes. The number of books I'm not surprised at, I'm just annoyed at finding places to put them. And my back hurts a lot, but that was to be expected.

I am very excited for the roadtrip, though. I GET TO LEAVE FLORIDA. AND NEVER COME BACK IF I CAN HELP IT. AND I GET TO SEE PEOPLE ON THE WAY! MANY PEOPLE! I cannot wait.

And I may or may not have packed a full backpack of nothing but blank notebooks. You know. Just in case. ...Don't judge me.

If you ever randomly decide to get rid of those Rent playbills, hey, I'd take them off your hands. I mean, I brought back a stack of 30 completely identical final playbills just because I could.

AND YAY ROADTRIP!

Hee! I will keep that in mind. ♥

ROADTRIP OMG. It's been way too long since I've been able to go on a roadtrip, and I grew up doing it every summer. It's exciting.

I don't mind collecting a bazillion, since they will be quite safe with dad even if I go travelling all around.

I... never do roadtrips. Well. There was the one to Paris, with my parents and Ida. But other than that, not really. There are no places I would like to go that are less than, say, 5 hours drive, tops.

At least your RENT playbills are from over an extended period of time and therefore probably at least a little bit varied from each other. I have two bundles (I think that's 25 per bundle?) of the exact same Cry-Baby Playbills. I have a bundle of Adam-and-Anthony last night Playbills that were actually pulled out of the dumpster the next day.

Hell, I have five Next to Normal Playbills and I didn't even see N2N.

Okay, that does make me seem slightly more sane. Thank you!

No problem! I'm good for that, making people feel saner than me.

The only defense I have for my insanity is that the Adam and Anthony Playbills were retrieved with the idea that someday they might actually be worth money, even though I keep giving them away because I really don't care. There isn't any excuse for the Cry-Baby Playbills except that there was a giant stack of the bundles in the lobby on closing night and we felt bad. Yes, we felt bad for abandoned Playbills. It wasn't their fault the show flopped.

A. Throwing out Rent playbills is just wrong. Especially now that the show's closed. And because we're all insane like that.

B. I have, 3 stacks of Company playbills, 2 stacks of Drowsy Chaperone playbills, 1 stack of Rent final-cast-but-not-final-cover playbills, and I believe someone has a stack or two of Rent closing night playbills for me. That's like, 200 duplicate playbills.

Really. Lugging around playbills for different shows that you've seen? Totally normal.
