I loves me some dancing!!

So, it's been an interesting week for me. Not really during the days, cause those are fairly routine at this point: Wake up, work on my online classes, take the dogs for their two and a half mile walk, eat lunch, do yoga and be a lazy bum until my sister gets home. There's also usually something along the lines of do the dishes/laundry/something, but it's fairly simple. Anyway, that's not the point! (have been hit on during the dog walks twice: #8 & #9)


Thursday, my sister was on call, and I had nothing to do. Went looking online and found out that there's Blues dancing at a bar in Houston, and it sounded like fun, so I got all dolled up and drove out there. When I get there... what do I discover?? It's a gross, creepy, scary dive. Yeah, I turned around and got back in my car, it wasn't the kind of place I want to be by myself.


Friday, my sister and I decided to go to a Comedy Club, and a few of her friends from the hospital were going to join us. Fun, right? Not so much. We were the only ones in the audience, and they were TERRIBLE. I'm talking horribly, embarassingly terrible. Afterwords we went to a Wine Bar, chilled out. Nothing very exciting.


Then, Last Night, was FINALLY a good night! Swing dancing on Saturday nights happens at a Tea House. First off, that in and of itself is spectacular, cause... Swing + Tea = S'Awesome. I head over there and it's PACKED. #7 wasn't there, but that's OK, cause #10, #11, #12, #13, and #14 were all there. And they were great dancers too! Made my night. The swing scene here is incredible, especially compared to what there was in Salt Lake, which was comparatively nothing. Not much in the way of Blues though...


Also, you ever notice that guys who play the bassoon usually look like their instrument? Tall and Skinny and a little awkward?

OK, so.  This is going to sound silly, but I picked up this awesome book the other day, because of the author (whom I really enjoy) and it's awesome. It's called Wood Nymph Seeks Centaur: A Mythological Dating Guide, by Francesca Lia Block.
It's really entertaining to read through the different descriptions and be like "Hey! So-in-So who I dated 2 years ago was a Merman! and that other guy? He's a satyr!" I'm an Urban Hobgoblin, in case you were curious. It's a lot of fun... in that silly, I refuse to take dating too seriously kind of a way.


3&4 - you're an Urban Elf. In case you were wondering.




Also... today was the final day of the 2010 Winter Olympics, which means the Hockey Playing men of the United States and Canada went head to head for the gold. I missed the first period, but man am I glad that I didn't miss the third period or OT. Gotta say, I really respect anyone with that kind of talent and dedication.





Oh! and for exciting news. I got an e-mail from Disney, asking me to schedule another interview for more Professional Internships they are considering me for! I'm gonna get a Professional Internship, and I'm gonna move to Florida, and then, I just might stay there. I love Florida so much. I don't have to work to be happy, or try to be happy, or make a conscious effort to be happy, I simply am happy. Don't get me wrong, life is beautiful, and everyday is a great day to be alive and is full of potential, but... Life is more beautiful, every day is even better, and life has more potential and spark in the sunshine state. At least, in this point of my life it does. Another benefit to go along with getting a Pro Internship? Mom and Dad will help pay for all kinds of new cloths! YAY!! I'm really excited and I'm gonna have an amazing job with Disney, and my life, which felt like it was falling apart, is stitching back together.

Realization!

So... #6 is totally last year's #24. Forgot to mention that earlier. Now you know!!

Gah!!

Boys are dumb. For example: #5! He's Stupid, stupid, stupid. But super sweet. Which is part of the stupid.

Anyway...


I'm rediscovering the simple joys of life... I was a good little housewife today and dusted my sister's house, and it was surprisingly therapeutic. Was actually kinda nice.

May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.

Oh! Cute Boy!!

So... it's been a slow year.

Got hit on in the airport last month... #4.

We're skipping #5 in order to keep the number from last year.

Had a lot of fun in Albuquerque with #6. Like, a LOT of fun. But he called me "Kitten" and "Kid" and "Kiddo." Not sure how I feel about that. It was very Humphrey, which I can dig. But... Kiddo? I like Kitten, though. But from a boyfriend, not from... #6. At least not at this point.

Then! Last Saturday I went swing dancing, and I met this guy. #7. Super Cute. Dancer. Hospitality Major. Classical Musician. Did a Disney College Program. We have a scary amount in common. and he's Cute.

I kinda really like him.

When you're sitting on the side of the road crying over what feels like the best goddamn thing you ever had--well, at least you had it.

Stupid Boy

I was doing awesome yesterday! Really, I was. My sister and I took the dogs for a walk, and went to the movies. We then had dinner at the house and decided that we deserved bubbly, strawberries and brownies while watching a chick flick. Why not, after all. Anyway, was doing awesome, until Last Year's #5 had to go and text me "Hey Beautiful, Happy Valentine's Day". We start texting about our days, and I tell him what I'm doing, and he says it would be nice to be there enjoying that with me, and starts quoting romance movies, like "Ghost" at me. I less than three that movie!

Anyway, boys are stupid

New Amazing

Time for another installment of amazing stuff I've found whilst wasting time on the internet. What else am I going to do around here, be productive? psh. Besides, I'm sure that the emptiness of the internet wants to know what cool stuff there is to be found.

First up! I really really really want to take this class, and wish I had money, cause it'd be Ah-MAZING!! I mean, seriously, this is a seven hour class that ends with a full up pin-up girl photo shoot, and you get to keep the pictures, and it would be so much FUN! To bad I don't have $200 to blow, cause otherwise I'd be all over that, and it'd be major.

Next is actually more than I'm putting up on here, you'll have to go looking yourself as well. I was looking at the "Blogs of Note" and followed one just to see what it was, nothing super interesting, but they had a link to this other website. This dude, Ryan McGinley was commissioned to take photos of some of this year's Winter Olympians. Really neat pics, seriously, check them all out!

Oh! I went looking for Improv Comedy shows in Houston, cause I dearly love to laugh, and I like guys who like to laugh, so why not go somewhere that will make me laugh, and where there will likely be other people who like to laugh? makes sense, right? I know, it's totally shocking. ANYWAY, I knew there was this place called IMPROV comedy club, but all of their comedy shows were standup, figure that one out. Anyway, finally found a place, Third Coast Comedy. They have exactly what I was looking for, so I'm going with my sister next week. She has the task of finding me a cute doctor for a date (what? I'm allowed to use and abuse her connections! If I'm living with her and taking care of her, it's totally cool, right?)

Why not go this weekend, you ask? Cause I'm going dancing, see?? What better way to meet new boys for the new year's man count than to find a new social circle, look amazing, and dance with all kinda of new peeps? Maybe I'll even make some friends. I'm excited, something to do other than sit around, surf the net, take classes, play with the dogs and cook! YAY!

Anyways, I'm out to Panara, which is amazing, but not something I found online...

Rainy Day

Today it rained all day. Like, seriously ALL DAY. Would have been the perfect day to lie cuddled up in bed for a few hours, eventually get up and have grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for lunch. Then sit comfortably together, maybe read books or watch a movie together. Companionable silence sort of thing. I miss that easy comfort that I used to have... Oh well, that's not important. Instead, I cuddled up with some coffee and two dogs all morning, had Mac and Cheese for lunch, then worked on a coffee table book online and read for a bit. Then I got to take a long, luxurious bath in my sister's amazing, big, deep bathtub. Kinda like a little slice of heaven right there. I can still hear the rain drip drip dripping outside. And I'm considering making some decaf coffee for a chill evening by myself... it really has been a nice chillaxed day. ahhhhh :)

Makes me think of the song Raining on Sunday by Keith Urban. (Yes, I know he's a country singer, but I'm living in TX, I'm allowed to reference country music)

Lyric-speak

New Decision!!

From now on, I want to be able to talk like I'm a song. Imagine if, when you have been super-depressed, and each day just sucks, someone asks you how you're doing and you said:

"I wake up, and teardrops, they fall down like rain"

Or you're really mad at your boyfriend, so you say:

"You change your mind like a girl changes clothes, You PMS like a Bitch, I would know!!"

You're trying to explain how you feel about your girlfriend:

"Good Times never seemed so good, I've been inclined to believe they never would. But now I look at the night and it don't seem so lonely anymore. We fill it up with only two. And when I hurt, hurtin' runs off my shoulders. How can I hurt when I'm with you?"

Seriously, I want to talk like I'm in a song!!
