I finally get to walk into an audition and not worry about if I have a spot. Sure, I cheated and was placed during the summer. Sure, I'm not up against all the other better dancers for a spot in one of my last dance concerts (ever?). Sure, it doesn't seem fair, or real, or as exciting...I don't like this. The only thing that's advantageous ( Read more... )

Let me start by saying that my grammar certainly isn't perfect (I'm sure that you've already ascertained that my spelling isn't anything to brag about either). I must strongly protest the addition of the word "at" to the end of sentences. I must also make my outrage known regarding the use of this incredibly annoying, utterly incorrect habit as ( Read more... )

And exhale...I've just spent the last two hours trying to woo a prospective boss. You may be thinking that with all the effort put forth, this is a job that will turn into a career. Actually, it's just an after-school gig helping some girls learn to spin. As I flip through the catalogs given to me by my new boss, I realize the intense cheesiness ( Read more... )

I've decided not to feel guilty about being sad about being "too old" to march. I always said that colorguard was not going to be my life forever....only for eight years/10 seasons. I've gathered a lot of memories and a ton of friends. I wondered the past couple of days why I seem to miss my drum corps friends more than, say, my high school ( Read more... )

I suppose that it's about time I try this thing again in order to keep me sane. I think there is something to writing things you know will be seen, even if they are not read (weekly creative writings...ahem). Sometimes I feel that if more people were subject to the torture that rational, logical thought can bring there would be less "fun" in the ( Read more... )

It was my birthday last Thursday. It was probably the best birthday I've had in a while. I went to a friend's apartment after class with my flatmate. Then we went to a ritzy bar with some more friends. Then I won a tanning package (of all things), and a girl's house, a girl whom I had just met three minutes earlier. I've come to realize that ( Read more... )

I'm sorry I left you hanging. I want to hear about your situation. Let me explain what happened ( Read more... )

I'd like to talk to you more, however we're in different states. If you promise to check this at least twice weekly I will write more in it.

Quote from life:
"I shaved my arm pits for this performance, because I didn't want the audience to be distracted. I would do it every day but I just can't justify making my life any harder than it already

I recently returned from ACDF (American College Dance Festival)which was a good time, even if it was a fiasco. Swanny and I are on stranger terms than ever before. I think I've developed a habit that I think everyone should acquire...falling dead asleep every night and waking up in the morning in the same position. There's something so ( Read more... )

I'm so tired lately. My first round of testing ends today, I have one million other things to take the place of studying. I can't seem to sleep enough, and I was called fat by the costume designer. I have such good intentions for my life, lord only knows where they'll lead. Time to get ready for ballet, and once again strain my ankle tendons... ( Read more... )
