Lots of things to update about -
o1. First off,
flourhurricane,
london_fan,
red_scully,
wanderlonely I got your cards!! I treasure the all of you beyond measure. ♥ ♥ They are proudly displayed on my fridge, and Marie the glitter is proudly displayed on my counter. ;) REALLY, I AM SERIOUS WHEN I SAY I LOVE IT THOUGH.
o2. I didn't mention it on here, but my sister got a new puppy! He is presh! If you follow me on Instagram you've already seen it but
HOW CUTE. He is still very tiny, he's barely growing at all, and he is still teething. After she got him, she invited me to her apartment for an overnight. It was adorable - we had tossed the idea around but I wasn't going to go because she lives like an hour and a half away (at school), then she went shopping and texted me a photo of all the candy and shit she bought with "there's more where this came from... if you come for a sleepover." LOL ADORBS. So I went and I while she was at class I shot a bunch of footage for a short about the puppeh but I haven't edited it yet. I WILL SHOW YOU WHEN I DO.
o3. I STARTED DANCE VIDEOGRAPHY I LOVE IT SO MUCH OH MY GOD BRB EXPLODING. I only went to their first competition so far but they are so fun and talented and the coaches are so great, they like, ask my opinion on stuff! Like how the dance looked and all, it's impossible for me to tell through a lens but the fact that they ask and would want to know what I think means a lot to me.
I made a post on my other blog about it if you would like to know more - I even included gifs of my shots if you are interested!
I've also had a couple of v cute shoots this week, I've posted teasers on my
photography page, the first is a referral from a friend (pink frilly dress, pearls, and bows in her scraggly little hair, slays me), and the second is my old dance coach's adorable family (the little girl kept calling me "Isha", yelling "Cheese me!", running over for hugs and thinking I was coming home with them lol). She also brought me like 30 old VHS tapes for me to convert to DVD and they are all like dance tapes, so win! I'm finding myself super involved with technical work revolving around dance and that is a GREAT place for me to be. Love it. Shooting a concert tonight!
o4. My grandma had us over for dinner last week, my mom popped out and yelled "SURPRISE!", it was so cute and I bring it up because at one point I had to go in the kitchen and instead of just walking, I had intended on running and sliding in my socks, so I started half-jogging and my mom ran behind me and grabbed my arm and we both started sliding at the exact same time. Like yeah I look just like her and everything but the little things like that, we are so alike in even little ways and I want to remember these things. My grandma is also SWEET AND KIND AS FUCK, she gave us her Christmas tree! She got a new one and gave us our old one, we have a tree you guys!
Speaking of my grandma, she has this new boyfriend and she keeps asking me for advice and it's absolutely slaying me, okay. "He just wants to sit and make out now and I am not, nor have I ever been, the kind of girl who just... goes to bed with someone, so." DYING. Like what an unexpected life treasure, giving your grandmother dating advice.
o5. Last night, my sister, mom, and I all came home and had a good old-fashioned sleepover. We made dinner, did our nails, had drinks and totally intended to watch I Love You, Man but ended up watching fail compilations and Whose Line bloopers on YouTube for like four hours and laughing to the point of tears. My sister went to bed early and then my mom and I stayed up for two more hours, playing volleyball with my Om Nom doll up in the bedroom and talking about boys. Then she made us french toast for breakfast while I wrote this! ♥
And I think everything else needs to be f-locked, work and friend drama, you know, the usual~.
Christmas getting its own entry too, tl;dr. Love love all of you! I'M SORRY I'VE BEEN LAX ABOUT LIVEJOURNAL, I've been busy and when I haven't been busy, I've been playing Batman: Arkham City. Truth.
EDIT: OH MY GOD HOW COULD I FORGET THIS - I woke up on Christmas morning having dreamt that I was at some company Christmas party. There were three rooms with karaoke going on, guys were getting drunk and taking their suit jackets off and sweating at the mics. I was sitting at a table with my friend Ali, when Cuddy came over and said that we'd be having a girls party tomorrow and to stop by her office at 6 to help her plan or let her know what we wanted for dinner. Except then I realized it wasn't a Christmas party, it was an end-of-(something: season, career, it was going to be like the end of the year banquets we always had for dance) party, so when she walked away, I got up and walked the other direction because I was going to start crying and I didn't want her to see. So I roamed down some hall crying and ended up running into her anyway. She hugged me and was swaying me back and forth, both in our high heels, and then she UNDID HER BLOUSE and she was so toned you guys, damn, and wearing a deep blue bra. So this was literally my subconscious' Christmas present to myself, letting me feel her up. Then she said something about how I was "too much like her", obviously meaning being too timid in this situation because then she flipped us around and slammed me into this gold railing. I cannot.
