Teaching a bellydance class in a few hours. Trying to figure out if I want to focus on stylistic fundamentals for dancing, or movement vocabulary -- I only have an hour after all. Sometimes students want to be able to go home and show off for hubby, do a little dance or at least be able to frame their movements with cool hands or a...

Got a job as a barista!!

I love it. As the girl who helped train me said, "this job is so chill, I can't quit it". I get all the free coffee (yummy specialty stuff included) I want. I just make coffees, lots of lattes and mochas, cappucino, tea.. and... that's it! The smells of the place make it such a wonderful sensory experience.

I'm going to start taking this figure modeling thing seriously.

Going to start making connections with artists and other models, and networking. I networked a little this morning, and I believe I'm going to be handed some gigs.

One of the major female figure models in the area is moving, so I'm also going to talk to her.

Also going to start doing yoga and...

So, I'm feeling lonely.


This sucks. Sucks so bad.. I've been dating a lot recently, and while a few overlap, it's mostly a few dates, and then I tell them it's over. I'm not connecting with anyone! I'm new to this dating thing.. this is the first year I've really done it.
Previously, I've been in a commited longterm relationship, since I was 15.

Well, I just got done eating a massive plate of sweet potatoes and turkey..


Thanksgiving, how I love and hate thee.

I'm writing this from my friend's house, who I'm pet sitting for while she's in Costa Rica. She's also my personal trainer (well, for the group of women I work out with), so in her spirit I just did some crazy cardio for 30...

Well...

I think the main reason I haven't blogged much recently... is the very fact that all my exciting activities have been spent, well, drunk.

I've been to a bunch of new bars! One of which features a SHUFFLEBOARD table! I whooped some major ass in a mini-tourney.

I had people joining my team, and I was all serious-face, despite the fact I was completely...

I'm feeling exhausted, trying to keep myself from feeling down.

I've been following that whole "fake it 'til ya make it" philosophy, and putting on a happy face for everyone.. but damn, damn I'm tired. I cracked yesterday and spent a good 4 hours sobbing, realizing I was backsliding and I needed to take control.

Luckily, I'm already starting to do that..

I feel like...

So, yeah.

I just saw "Punk is Not Dead" at the local artsy theatre, the Tivoli.. and no, no it's not. I felt my heart dancing as I watched this movie.

Fucking inspirational.

I see so many angry people out there, but worse.. I see the ones who do not care. Apathy disgusts me. That disgust is what fueled me to become interested in Anarchy...
