Since I've last written, a lot has happened.
Alex came down on the 28th and stayed with me until the 2nd. I picked him up from the bus station and almost cried. I lept into his arms and looked at him like I didnt believe he was real. We scanned eachother and remebered eachother again. It was amazing to finally feel him. We had so much fun, and we were just generally happy to be in eachothers presence. We took my sister to school and got to play house for the whole weekend. He met my gramie and they got along really well. One night we all sat on the patio and just talked about everything. I like when people discuss you while you're sitting right there. My gramie explained to him that I am extremely loyal and he told her how much he needs me. I think I was finally regarded as an adult that night by my gramie. It was such a good feeling. On Saturday we took in downtown LA shopping in the alleys. Alex was amazed at our spending habits and how we were entitled to anything our hearts wanted. She didn't hesitate to spoil Alex just as much as she was spoiling us. She would cup his face in her hands, smile at him and tell him that he could have anything he wanted. That melted my heart everytime. It was the most love he had ever felt in his whole life. Everynight was amazing. We had some smoke, sat in the spa and eventually went up to bed. The day I had to leave him was not as bad as I thought. I still cried hysterically like Id never see him again, but deep down inside I was so thankful for how amazing the weekend was. I knew he'd be back. I walked him to his bus and he made me turn around and walk to my car. He didnt want me to watch him get on his bus. So I turned around and I felt my heart tighten. My face was flooded with tears the whole ride to work, and the whole night that he wasnt in my bed next to me.
He is coming down again on the 28th for my parents holloween party. He's going to stay the weekend with us. Im so excited for my parents friends to meet him. Im so happy with him I cant even put it into words. I know Im going to have a long future with him.
Ive been taking classes at Madonna Grimes Dance and Fitness Theatre Comopany in Hollywood. Yvonne and I took our first class a couple days ago and was totally blown away. The atmosphere is what we needed all along. There is so much energy in that small studio. I was so concentrated, no one could break me. Me and Yvonne we dripping in our own used up energy within 15 minutes. The warm ups are intense and the floorwork is so challenging. Tony Thomas is an amazing jazz dancer and is pretty close to Gumbee. The dancers at the studio are prodominatly black and have amazing strength and technique. They leap like fucking giselles and turn with such presicion its almost not real. So with that said, Im back on my diet and training regime to be able to last another class at Madonna Grimes and boost myself. Rehersals for QUADRAPEDDLE are tonight. Melia was telling me on Tuesday at Shannons class that she wants to be able to eventually pay us for rehersals and performances once she makes us permanent company members. We will become permanent company memebers when Shannon and her open the healing center for the arts. I will be a founding member there as well so I am excited for us to get funded and up and running!
School is going good. I am hopefully going to be doing Cosmetology in ROP next summer. Its full time and a huge commitment, so when I am ready for that, I imagine Ill dive head first. Im working on Government right now. What a bunch of bullshit. Ughhhh. I need to get out.
So tonight Yvonne and I are going to go to Brian's at the Tattoo shop and see the pin stripping he designed for Yvonne's back. Then we are on our way to QUADRAPEDDLE rehersals at Melias Boyfriends house. After rehersal, if Melia hasnt killed us, we are gunna probably go sit at Zac's (The Smoke Zone) and suck on the Hukkah for a little bit.
I miss everyone!
I love you!
Heather.
