I am 25 years old! How crazy is that. I have been living in Cleveland since I was 21. That means I've spent all of my early twenties here. It feels so bizarre to think of it like that ( Read more... )

So, since the Symposium our belly dance troupe has been on hiatus. It was much welcomed after two months of bi-weekly practice. Now that we have all had a chance to have a breather, we are starting to get excited about choreographing new songs and coming up with new gags and scripts. We are trying to also brainstorm some more ideas on how to get a ( Read more... )

I am at work. And I will be at work tomorrow as well. I hate six day work weeks. I will probably try to take a half day next week to try and regain a bit of sanity. What sucks about this the most is that I’m not actually working that hard. I’m mostly just here in case they need me for something. Granted, tomorrow is the graduation ceremony and I ( Read more... )

I am starting to forget how I have been spending my holidays. Here is a quick remind for my own use.

Halloween- Nika’s party! Our belly dance troupe was part of the entertainment. Here is a video!

It was our first performance and I think we did pretty well! It was a very nice party.

Thanksgiving- Went home to Mum’s place. Dara was a total bitch and ( Read more... )

The Steampunk Symposium down in Cincinnati was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures! Colette and I are in the second to last picture in that album. We have some more pictures of our outfits, but that album is one of the more solid ones I’ve seen.

The Symposium was really cool. We had a really great time. We took our time going down and coming back, ( Read more... )

Chris, Gene, and I found a rental house in Cleveland Heights. We’ve already paid the security deposit and first month’s rent. It is not the first place we found. I hesitated too long with that house and the landlord ended up renting it to another tenant. It was kind of shitty since Chris had just convinced me the night before that we should go with ( Read more... )

Man, so I haven't updated since I've been promoted? Damn... a lot has been going on. I'll break this down to convenient bullet points.

• Belly dancing classes are still happening. Jenn, Caelyn and I finally came up with a group theme. We will be steampunk charlatans! We claim to be the mysterious middle-east, trained in all manner of temple/pleasure ( Read more... )

So. I got promoted at my job. I am now the Registrar at AMPC. Whoooo. Unfortunately, because of the company policies that changed due to recent government regulation adjustments for non-profit schools, I will not be seeing a pay raise until February. The actual raise itself wasn't that much. I'll be getting somewhere around $46k now, which doesn't ( Read more... )

 Oh Jesus Christ. It is 6:30 am. I have been awake since 3am. I have gotten four hours of sleep. Gaaaaawwwwdddddd!

I am eating a bagel with egg and cheese. It smells like honey. It is... confusing.

Yesterday I had the day off because I was supposed to go to Boston. The 10 inches of snow said otherwise. I spent the day hanging out with Tai, Jessi, ( Read more... )

This weekend I have eaten very good food.

• I went to the new Asian Bistro in Uptown with f_l_a_i_r , arizona_jones , and sketchyheart . The dish I got was very good but It was a bit much to eat all in the one sitting. It was Bok Choy sauteed with garlic. Delicious but a bit over whelming.
• Chelsea, Skot and I made Zucchini patties. We didn't really know how to make them so we just ( Read more... )
