(no subject)
I am tired. So very very tired. I've gotten very little sleep in the past two days, and it has gotten to me in a big way. However, some of that was self-inflicted...I think I am addicted to masturbation! At least when I eat chocolate too late at night and it gives me a burst of energy...
Over the weekend I ate a bunch of cooked food (kicked off in part by a wedding of Deme's cousin that we attended), and was consequently feeling rather hung over on Sunday, and with quite a bit of intestinal difficulty on Monday. So it is back to the raw for me (although I am not opposed to the occasional steamed veggie or small bite of potato - clearly in a different league than breaded barbecue chicken!)
I went two weeks ago to a raw chocolate party, had an amazing time, and then injured my right thigh quite thoroughly when I did a trick I should not have done with warming up and stretching first. Luckily, with a day off work to recover, judicious application of Tiger Balm, many hot baths, and careful stretching, I seem to be healing pretty well. I have back a 90-degree extension with only a bit of stiffness, so I am confident that the remainder will return in time for our salsa performance at the end of January.
Speaking of salsa, I performed recently - as a leader, aka the "guy" - and if you're interested, video of our first performance can be seen here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v281/themeows/Salsa%20Performance/?action=view¤t=salsa_performance.flv It was such a blast!
I am still a bit lonely feeling, especially over the interwebs, but perhaps being able to go online soon (Deme got me an ipod for Xmas!) will help. I may even finally get on Facebook. My main difficulty with all of that btw is my concern with reconciling my burlesque and nonburlesque identities. Am I, and should I be, concerned with the potential impact on my career - this is the question I have yet to answer. Any advice is appreciated.
