In my ballroom dance class, there is one student who is not very apt at learning to dance and who doesn't practice at all (personally, I wonder if he wouldn't be a better match for the next class level down), and another student who attends maybe 1 or 2 out of every 3 classes, and thus is frequently behind and doesn't know what is going on (though ( Read more... )

I don't know that I've ever really gone back and edited any of my poetry before, but I stumbled on this by chance tonight and took the opportunity to tighten it up considerably. This is less to say that it is brilliant now and more to say that there was a lot of really obvious junk in the last version and I am much happier with it now. I believe I ( Read more... )

Oatmeal cookies and brownies for dinner.

Lost power for a little while this afternoon. I was napping, so I'm not sure how long we were out.

I'm settled into my new apartment now, and things are good. I don't know my roommate very well yet, and out other roommate has yet to move in (he'll be here this weekend), but I have little reason to believe ( Read more... )

 Somehow, I've gone through almost the whole liquid latex process without really talking about it here. This was not for lack of enthusiasm, nor really lack of time. Not sure why, really. But here I am now, ready to set the final creative element in motion, and I'm incredibly excited.

"It's today! It's today! It's today! It's today!"
"It's always ( Read more... )

So... last night I couldn't sleep because my brain thought that sleeping was a LARP and had rules. But I couldn't figure them out ( Read more... )

 I had a really lovely long talk with a new friend tonight. I'm really happy to be getting to know him. I love finding people with whom I can just talk about whatever right from the start and have it be meaningful. We covered an amazingly wide range of topics and shared so much about ourselves. So much trust, open-mindedness, patience, and shared ( Read more... )

 So, Saturday was my first ballroom dance competition. Not only the first one I'd ever danced at, but the first I'd ever attended. It was interesting to get the behind-the-scenes perspective right from the get-go, since my team and my school were hosting the comp. It was amazing to see what we were able to put together. And by 'we' I mean 'they' ( ( Read more... )
