i gave some amazing dancing on stage (if i do say so myself), sang at a black student event, coordinated decorations for a 5-college party and was dumped by my boyfriend. "dumped" is a little strong, but he just wants "to be friends." smart readers will have perched their alert lips by now. a quick side-eye will suffice as well.
Giovanni, my iPod touch, is secretly the best thing that's ever happened to me. Sadly, he has taken the forefront as my traveling music buddy over Shirley and Geraldine. I name my iPods. The story behind their names is kinda cute, though, so no need for the shade that I see building inside you! I make sure they are all charged as the need arises :) One great perk of the iTouch is the ability to access the internet when you have a good connection; as I've learned to link my college mail to GMail, I can check and respond to messages on the go. You see me.
Miley Cyrus is ruining my life. Her song, "Party in the USA" is disgustingly addicting and I look around me each time it comes on my iPod. I especially hate my attachment to the song because of an interview snippet I witnessed on VH1's The Soup -- she doesn't listen to "Jay-Z song"s or any rap at all! She told the interviewer that she hadn't written the song, was surprised that it got as popular as it has and never had a "Jay-Z song" in mind when singing it! Mississippi goddamn. Over it! Get her away from me!
Schoolwork is getting crazy. It's coming down to the final stretch in terms of my Performance Project piece (a piece I'm choreographing in fulfillment of my Performance Studio class at Amherst College this semester). I can't seem to get my dancers together at good times for rehearsal. I've canceled a bunch of rehearsals due to the other performances I'm a part of, so I can't even blame them fully. Ugh, I'm gonna have to cut a lot of my material because I'm not happy with it, and I don't want to show shitty shit. The dancers may not like it but, at this point, the fat needs to be trimmed and that may mean less face time for people on stage. I'm reserving a "bye" for anyone who has a problem with that too, hello?
My body is cracking and crunching, and I'm over it. I hear it when I'm dancing and my right index finger now needs to be cracked to stop this random jutting pain that I feel. I'm not going to harm this body before its time! I have big dance dreams and I will be successful. I've been eating way better than I normally do and I'm proud of myself. I'm slowly getting to the shape I want to be in as a dancer but, as always, I'm happy in my skin.
I'm in a relationship right now, and it's progressing. He's planned to come see me at school this weekend; it should be fun to show him my talents. It's crunch time and I am in four performances this weekend (three being identical) and I'm going to make an appearance at the AC Pride Alliance party this Saturday night. As eventful as this weekend will be, I hope to have some intimate time with him. Not even completely in the sexual sense, but I'd like to just spend time with him. It'll be hard, but it's something to look forward and I think that we need it. I think we really need quality time.
my senior project is going to be a movement piece based heavily around Alice in Wonderland and the journey that be.
my thing is... WHY IS EVERYTHING AROUND ME SUDDENLY WILDING ON THAT STORY
I can't understand it! I found out months later, after I proposed my idea, that an AiW movie is being released in March 2010. My project is going up April 2010. I got an email today saying that there is a Halloween/AiW party being thrown on my campus this Saturday. I feel like going just to mess up/steal the decor. NO one messes with my idea swag.
All jokes asides, I've been working semi-hard on a preliminary performance piece that we need to do for the fall semester. It goes up Dec. 11th and 12th. I am working with four dancers, three women and one male, and the material is coming out really cute. This week will be intense in terms of bridging all the empty spaces that exist between the choreography I've compiled thus far. I have some video footage and photos that I will reveal as time goes on :) I'm excited!
I love how dance makes me feel, and I make sure that I am dancing at least two hours a day. Hopefully I can get my life/body together so I'll be perfect, hoo-hah!
so i did something really bad at one of my jobs. it became an issue of gossip, i found. someone came up to me in the dining hall and said, "i heard about what you did." as much as I regret doing something so stupid, wouldn't it have been a little more professional/courteous to not say it to people i have to work with? i would have rather the person tell a supervisor and i would have stepped down from my position, really... i feel like it's a little weird that it has become like schoolyard gossip behind my back. regardless, i feel like i can't say shit because i did the wrong deed in the first place... ugh, wish i hadn't gotten caught. fuck fuck fuck
