*On Holiday*
*
I'm at my parent's place, in the room I grew up in... on holiday. Been here since yesterday, but I think it shouldn't count. Yeah, it was crappy like that.
...
Being on vacation, sitting down to read and write can be quite a challenge. That, and back at home I was engrossed with Mahjong for DS... So much I didn't bring it with me so I would actually go out and do things.
.
Most people lay back and relax, sleeping in on vacation. I don't think I could ever. I'm here, it's the BIGGEST dance festival in the world (in number of participants, at least), there is delicious food everywhere, and an ever growing to-do list.
.
Plus, a holiday never feels like a holiday when one feels like crap. A great night of sleep and a little tight lacing helped on that one.
.
Should be getting ready soon... I wouldn't want half of my day to go to waste. Wait, what am I saying? Ah, welcome to my never ending inner dialogue.

As of recent things, last weekend we went to the Tanabata Matsuri. Always fun, specially the noms. Yeah, the food. Ok, the shopping too.
.
Monday is a blur. Odd... oh, yeah, I watched a dancing show on tv at night. Great memory, eh?
.
Wednesday was hectic. Probably why I was all stressed out yesterday. That and the 10 hour bus ride. I hate when I don't plan what I'm gonna pack properly. I mean, I almost left my makeup valise home! Was running out the door when I noticed it was missing. Can't imagine spending 9 days here without any makeup.
.
Guess who almost missed the bus?
.
Then there was yesterday. I got to Joinville (aka wicked little ghost town) before 5 am. My youngest brother picked me up. Odd. Then it rained most of the day... When I finally left the house. it was almost 6 pm. Sure, a little makeup helped me feel less crappy.
.
I left mostly to hang out with my mom and to buy a pair of jeans. Should I say I was in for a couple FML moments? Why, of course I was.
.
Like buying jeans. Fine, I got what I was looking for. Something quite plain, cheap, with a little of a rock'n'roll feel. Just that I had to get a size bigger than I normally do, and as I was leaving the sales guy just had to say "Oh, you're very pretty, despite your weight". Yeah, FML.
.
Because all one needs when in a town where every sweet and cake is delicious is to feel fat.
.
Ok, there was one good moment in my day. Maybe two... Even though I had to wait over an hour for my mom to show up (damn you, facebook!), an old fling ran into me at the bookstore I was waiting at... we went out over 9 years ago... And her comment was that I look exactly the same. Gee, thanks. I guess. Maybe I need a style makeover?
.
The other high in my day was coming home and putting on my corset and trifted flannel pajamas! Ain't they cool?
*
*
Time to shower and put my face on, for another day of running into ghosts and considering whether the calories in cake are worth it.
.
Tonight i'm gonna go watch Contemporary Ballet and Street Dance/Hip Hop with my mom...
.
It will be a late night. I have some articles to post to Luxria tomorrow, which I have to write, and the Mister arrives in the morning. Gotta plan a fun weekend for all of us! (Can you say control freak?)

Off to La la land, to do my singing exercises in the shower.

Here's a little inspiration:

Have a blast this weekend!
