After a conversation about dreams, my sister noted "You always have the worst dreams!" She's right, I've had some pretty bad ones, especially recently. This morning I woke up not being able to remember anything I dreamt, but only feeling a gigantic sense of loss, like I've lost something and I don't even know what it is, and I can't just shake this off, I wish I could. It's not helping the funk I've been in recently.

"We must have shot "La Vie Boheme" 723 times today. That's a lot of mooning for me."
"Those actors playing Maureen and Benny can't keep their hands off each other. Something must be going on with those two."

Nikki and I went to the dance recital of Gwendolyn Bye's school, the dance school we both used to go to. Jeeeez....everyone that I used to dance with is SO amazing now!! We went to Cosi with Niambi afterwards, and caught up with the 3 years or so it's been since seeing each other. (double trouble brownie sundae=mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm). The whole thing just made me nostalgic about ballet. Although it has never even come remotely close to what I feel and the time I'd put in for violin, ballet really was something I had a passion for. I took a couple classes a week for a few years, climaxing when I went to 3 hours a day of ballet camp for 4 weeks every day summer 2001 (with emily!), and....ahh my memory's so fuzzy now, all the years jumble together. Okay 10th grade was my last year of dancing, the reason being that I got into Aspen for violin, and Aspen was so expensive that my mom said if I wanted to go, I couldn't do Hebrew School and dance anymore in the future, since they both cost a lot of money. Hebrew school wasn't too big of a disappointment lol, and I was very upset about having to sacrifice ballet, but at that point nothing was going to stop me from going to Aspen. I couldn't do the recital that year either, because I had to leave for Aspen a few days before the recital. Don't get me wrong, I was never actually good. Just every time I was able to do shanae (no idea how to spell it) turns across the floor without diziness, or mastered a new move or form, or came closer to being able to do a split (90% there was about as far as I ever got lol), I was so happy. I always looked at the really advanced kids with yearning, wishing I was even a tenth as good as them. It made me work hard in class though. I took a ballet class at Peabody for about a month 2nd semester, but it just wasn't the same. Not as good teacher, the class consisted of ameteur adults being like "ooooh i feel so graceful!" none of the discipline and motivation that came with being in a class of aspiring ballerinas like it was at the school. I might try again next year though if it fits more with my schedule. Anyway, I've rambled on way too much about this...but here's a picture! lol
