Saturday-Wednesday
I went out with my best friend on Saturday night. We wanted to catch a movie but there is nothing on. Seriously, nothing. So we just hit the CD store and bought me the new Beauty and the Beast DVD, which has finally come out. Seriously, I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD for years now! Disney purposefully withheld it for a long time to make sure that when it finally came out, everyone would buy it >< (They're doing the same thing with The Lion King now too - it's scheduled to come out in fall 2011 T_T ) Welure worked for me! I still have it on VHC in Hebrew (a 2-cassette version, even with a little behind-the-scenes show in English) but I've always wanted it in English <3
After getting the DVD - my belated birthday gift - it's been, what, 4 months since my birthday? XD - we bought a Kurtosh (here's a chocolate blogger's very good explanation and experience with Kurtosh) and sat down to devour it together. We talked a lot and people-watched and just generally caught up with each other's lives.
Salsa was awesome last night! I had the most fun in weeks, weeks. Last lesson (which was two weeks ago; last week we skipped) wasn't so hot - we did double spins, and by the time I got into it, my dance partner was awful and threw me off completely. Tonight was the before-last class, and everyone did really well. I'm advanced enough, and good enough with technique, to judge others (although I try not to ^^;; ) and honestly everyone was on top form tonight.
The Big Shy Guy was very clumsy at first - he's improved majorly. The Class Clown has improved his technique, although some steps still fail him - he can get away with anything because he makes everyone laugh. Cuban Style Guy is more fluid and easy to dance with (that says more about my adaptability skills than his dancing, really XD ) and Bad BO Guy wasn't as foul today. I danced with a guy who I can only describe as fruity, for lack of a better word XD He's not gay or anything (in fact he's quite attracted to one of the girls, and even flirted with me today) but his dancing style is a bit flamboyant and full of little flourishes - plus he always chews really fruity-smelling gum XDDDD
The girls were also awesome today - they're all embracing the LA stylel with little hand gestures and hair tosses, and there were less questions tonight than there usually are. We're all looking forward to next week, when we all bring food and sit around talking for half the class. We'll also learn a dance move called 'spinning top' - I remember it from the first time I did the course and it's a really fun spin :D
On a side not (and this shows how icky things are going >< ) I went out for dinner with Ori tonight (before salsa). He's been away at the army for about 3 weeks, and the bad part is that I didn't miss him so much :x Not so sure I want to date him anymore. It's weird. I want to 'date' him because he's a great person, and I want the 'dating' part of it - going out, eating, talking, flirting - but I don't want anything else. Not the physical aspect of it (I'm awful about physical things. I can deal with hugs and hand-holding but kissing grosses me out and I've so far been unable to sleep with him in the bed next to me - this is all regardless of sex) and not the 'soulmate' ideal and not even sex. There was a phase when I really wanted to get to sex (I wasn't even particular about with whom) but it's passed now.
Dinner was lovely and we talked and had fun, but he's still pressuring me to spend a LOT of time together (he wanted to meet again after my salsa class, sleep over at my place, or some time today) and I just cannot spend SO MUCH TIME WITH HIM AT ONCE. I get stifled very easily. I'm going to have to think very hard if maybe I'm just... still not ready for a relationship and I shouldn't put him through all this and cut him loose. It's a sad thought and maybe I have to push through this time in order to get out of this rut once and for all - I really don't know what to do here. Gah.
Tomorrow I'm going to visit my sister Roni in Be'er-Sheva (big city in the south) and I'm bringing her her birthday gift (artsy post with pictures to follow on the weekend) and taking her to a short make-up lesson at a cosmetics store. She's just recently started wearing make-up (she's 27 yesterday, but very business-oriented and next to no personal time; she's just now lightening up and taking some time for herself) and I want her to know how to apply it properly and what colours go with her skin tone, etc. I'll be sleeping over and returning home on Wednesday. It'll be fun :)
