So, its been a long hot minute since I was here last
But I got a nudge (thanks static white), so I decided why not - I'll try to start posting again and hope that I dont get as addicted to the internet as I have in been in past LJ days.
I am working hard hard hard to make my dreams come true right now. Still working part time, but I am up to four reg. dance gigs a week, working on adding at least 2 more, plus parties and dance showcases that come up every so often. Next, I want to start teaching again, I had planned on starting earlier, but it got moved to the backburner for various reasons.
I am still dating Matt, we just passed the one year mark in September, which is so crazy to me. He is great and awesome and sweet and mostly knows how to deal with my crazy life, so I cannot complain one bit.
Recently, I just moved into a 3 story, four bedroom, 2 kitchen, 2 living room, 2.5 bathroom house with a backyard. Its basically an entire brownstone that was once divided into two appt.s, but was remodled into one ginormous house. It has a backyard too. Me, my 3 roommates, and our collective 3 cats and one dog, are extremely happy. The house is so big, I often dont even know if my roomies are home, and I rarely see the kitties. We have managed to form a new kind of family between us in the evenings, often making communal meals. Its awesome.
For those of you who knew me in TN, you'll probably know that Emeline, who used to dance with me in TN, has been planning to move to NYC. She did, she is one of the roomies. We have dance practice several times a week, and are working on pieces together again. I couldnt be more pleased about how thats worked out.
I am also making costumes again. Only this time, instead of Elizabethan and Tudor gowns, I am making my first fully beaded pro egyptian style 2 piece dance costume. Its nearly finished and took longer than any gown I ever made did, that is for certain. I'll post pics when I have the chance.
Looking forward to reading you LJ's again, guys.
