born to dance

I took in a performance of the ballet this weekend with my mom and sisters, and it was beautiful. The stretch and extension of their arms and legs, both delicate and powerful, made me feel envious, and little sad that I didn't continue to dance. The intricate footwork, definition of their calves, and the ease with which the male dancers lift the female dancers in the air left me in awe.

It was a refined ending to a crazy weekend that started off Thursday with Atomic 80s new wave dance party @ the blank club Peter, his friend nikki, and I, got the party started, and tore up the dance floor for 3 solid hours. Friday it was darts at trials pub with kyle after he finished up a critical mass bike ride. those seem like fun, but i am bikeless and horribly out of shape.

list of things to do

1. buy bike
2. used sed bike to get in good enough shape for critical mass
3. become semi-professional dancer after getting in shape by going on many a critical mass bike ride.

We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome. He quietly thanked me, and normalcy was restored until a few kids came over asking for autographs. He obliged but soon realized the mini pencil he was given to sign with wasn't going to work. Thanks to my new Andy Warhol Happy Bug Day tote bag, complete with handy organizational top compartment, i had easy access to my pen. I handed it over with great joy, and he was abl

awaiting the arrival of the great pumpkin

happy halloween everyone! tonight is the night that all of the little ones have been waiting for all year. i remember being going trick or treating as a kid and the smell of mixed candies and pillowcases, the stomach ache you'd get from consuming 1/2 your bagworth an hour after you'd get home, and protecting what was left of your stash from the hungry hands of those around you. I used to hide a lot of my candy, and then forget about it and find it a year later, gooey and stuck to a notebook in the back of my closet. Now that i am older, however, my halloween usually takes place at a party the weekend before the big day. This year, i once again ventured to Pasadena to celebrate with my friends Liz and Melanie. here is a short re-cap of the trip highlights - to combat my discomfort when flying, i had a few drinks, became very relaxed and accidently left my id on the plane. i needed a new one anyway. the picture on my old one was from, like, 8 years ago. -i re-aquainted myself wit
