I am doing really awesome right now. I am super busy with lots of school but am kicking ass and taking notes.
I moved in with the boy this september and we having been working out the details of cohabiating and doing pretty good. It's hard for us both to be taking so many classes and not be grumpy with eachother. It's easier now that we know the warning signs and can diffuse things before they get silly.
I am waiting with all my heart for spring break so that I can pretend for a week that I don't have anything to do. It's going to be awesome.

ah yes, the new name-ness.
it would seem that the world of bellydancing is trying to claim my soul (not that i'm complaining in the least).
beledi, from what my instructor tells me (as i drum away a merry beledi beat), refers to things 'bellydance-like', is a tribal deep earthy dance, and also an arabic drumming rhythm with many beautiful deep bass notes to it. it makes me happy. and i can play it.
and yes, the dragonfly has taken up permanent residence on my back. i really need to put up a better photo of it.

You lull me with poetry then the nookie appears from nowhere!
I'll have to remember to keep my wits about me when I read your journal in future.

Yay for the new hat: any chance of a photo?
I noticed that some of the trees in the park I go to at lunchtime seem to be about to blossom too. "Foolish young trees" I thought (far too early), but clearly not if yours are thinking about it too.

No amount of typing can express how awesome it is to see Stari prose! I received your January works and really liked them! Thanks for thinking of me when sending them out... *blushes* 
Yes, I second new hat pics! I think you'll be offically back when I see beautiful full-bloom Spring pics from you. I've been toting around my Canon for the past week of so and will be sure to post new pics.

Going to a Burningman (Portland Crew) benefit tonight at FEZ in Portland, should be fun!!!
Have not really been here much in a long time. Hope you are well.
Planning a trip to go snowbaording in colorado and Utah, No snow in Pacific NW!!!!!!!!
Check out my new biodiesel/ Burningman project truck i just bought up in Canada, it is one of my pics.
I am always looking to have fun and do little photo shoots with peeps now that I am getting used to the switch from analog to digital SLR. Let me know if you know any folks looking for shots. Especially band and fashion shots. Might even be fun to do a few joint projects. I am talking to some of my make-up and stylist friends about help when i need it..

the squishiest, sparkliest, happiest snuggles to you!
and since i don't think i've told you before, you remind me sooo much of my favorite endless ~ Delirium. sooo much. and that is a compliment of the highest order. i know that you too must follow your fishies. and i will be waiting to hug you when you go all butterflies.
i will miss you terribly in this space.

That sounds like an excellent way to wake up.
Yes, ma'am, me and Phillipe in the same place at the same time! We must definitely make with the sushi and whatnots. When is your housewarming party going to be? You lucky girl, getting to move to where the fun is... we have to wait for a few more months before we can join in.
Wow, I never even knew antepenultimate was a word... I'll have to hear you pronounce that last one, very interesting!

Would you write more about what you experience when dancing? I am facsinated by it! I am hypertuned into mine and you are like an adventurer on a new found path....how you explain things is very cool.
Dance taps into body and soul!
