Oh yes.

The kind of person that likes to indulge in idealizing the past while knowing they wouldn't have liked to live there. You like to daydream about past eras of elegance and propriety and simpler issues but firmly as a fantasy because you'd find the whole thing stuffy and unbearable in real life, even though real life right now is way too complicated and messy. Wouldn't it all have romantic if it had been real, though?

You have a collection of history books.

Some. Okay, way more than the average person... But most of my nonfiction is about theatre and art!

I practically live in a reference library though. My parents say buying books is a cheaper habit than crack, but it also means I live in a book fortress. This is a picture of some of ~~the cats~~ the shelves. That's some of their fiction section. There's so much more. If you ever want to know about New York in the 1930s or basically anything on WWII, I can hook you up.

Oh wow, that is eerily similar (ad slightly bigger even I think) to my best friend's house.

I like to think that irl you have really colorful socks. Like, you are the curator of some kind of intense sock museum in your drawer or something, and you have socks for different days of the week.

Oh wow! Ten years ago, you would have been spot-on. My high school had a uniform, so socks were one of the only ways I could do weird self-expression. I wore a lot of knee-high socks (my favorites were the ones that looked like the Hersey's Tootsie Roll wrapper) and patterned tights.

Unfortunately, when my body stopped pumping out hormones like a steam engine, I became I am That Girl Who Is Always Cold (everyone knows one of That Girl), so I'm hardly ever warm enough to wear skirts and dresses any more. I now have a fabulous collection of cardigans and jackets. :\ That and I did it partially because the uniform skirt was okay, but the pants were hideously unflattering, and teenage girls are vain.

I still have some patterned socks-- and as I said upthread, they make great gifts; I got checkered taxicab patterned socks for all my friends as souvenirs from my trip to New York-- but they stopped being my big ~thing~ after 3-4 years. When I made a couple terrible movies for my film studies class, my "production company" was called Crazy Socks Films or something like that.

There's just something about you that screams "self expression through small details" to me lol. I can't really put my finger on it. Maybe because you somewhat remind me of my mom?

I don't know why but I feel like you might have a crazy collection of playbills and ticket stubs.
It could be because I picture you as the fancy lady in your default icon and I think she sits in the fancy box at the theatre.

I dooooo! I have a giant 34.5 x 16.5 x 6 in. tub that I keep under my bed, filled entirely with playbills! According to the sticker on the side, if playbills were liquid, that's 4 quarts of playbills. They're only for shows I've seen, but that's a lot for someone who's only 27. Tickets I keep in a little bag thing in my nightstand drawer.

I'm not obsessed enough that I collect playbills from any show, although I have picked up 3 Stoppard OBC ones as gifts: The Coast of Utopia (playbill and big souvenir program) from a family friend who lives in New York and saw it-- it closed only a couple weeks before I visited Broadway in 2007! The other two were my college graduation gift from my family, from the OBCs of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (signed by Stoppard and John Wood and Brian Murray, the title characters) and Travesties (signed by Stoppard). Someday I will have them framed... And my Tempest poster too... *sigh*

I have sat in fancy box seats at the theatre once! It was at the Ahmanson, for War Horse. At that theatre at least, they're technically "partially obstructed view" seats (probably moreso if you're in higher/more offset ones than we had). It was very cool and different, but I kinda got a crick in my neck trying to get the right angle to watch. A play like War Horse, with a lot of spectacle and not much plot, is ideal for seats like that. We had a fantastic view of the puppeteers doing their stuff. Usually we'll get lower mezzanine/rear orchestra at the Ahmanson-- you can get good deals on those tickets online, and they're a nice view for the value.

Nailed it!

That's a pretty good effort. I'm jealous!

I had a whole year of not seeing anything because I was sick but the Bell Shakespeare group toured with Othello and they came to our tiny echoey little theatre. It was amazing. Best Iago. They had a Q&A afterwards as well that I got to stay for. I wish we had quality stuff every month. Get out of here with your dance studio recitals, small children.

Ooh. War Horse. Jealous again.

Oh no. The dreaded neck crick. I hate sitting on the sides close to the front because you're looking in one direction for ages and there's no good way to fix it. Do I turn and look at nothing for a while? Do I try to turn my whole body in my chair?
