the musings and views of a life that is ambiguous and hazy but worth living :)
Learning to walk set you free. Learning to dance gives you the greatest freedom of all: to express with your whole self the person you are.

another incident

so it was bound to happen to me sometime this year. My car got broken into last night. My parents and I were eating at Logan's on North 10th and in exactly an hour my laptop (my life) and a big bag full of stuff was stolen from my car. They broke my window. My parents lent me the Jeep to drive around. My phone charger was in my bag they stole so they gave me an old one that luckily I had an adapter for. My camera charger was in the computer bag. My software for editing pictures and videos was also in the bag. My MAKEUP was in the big bag they stole. Funny thing going to school with no make up on. I was asked if I was sick. I was asked if I was breaking out. It's disturbing to me that people hold nothing back. I mean if someone looked like crap and looked like they had been crying then I wouldn't make it a point to tell them they looked bad. ...but that's not even the problem I have with people right now. Right now I am furious at the people who did this. My laptop held precious documents and memories that I will never be able to get back. Memories from all my trips this past year. It was only yesterday that I uploaded my Jamaica pictures into my laptop and then deleted the entire camera to make room for the football games. I have videos from NY. Illegal videos that I risked losing my camera to capture. Benji!!!!!!! I had everything in the other bag they took. ALL my dance shoes. Lyrical sandals....like three pairs. Jazz shoes. An apple. MY MAKEUP. I don't buy just any makeup. If you have ever read my blog before you know my favorite store is Sephora. It took me years to build up my collection. A collection complete with expensive brushes, discontinued eye shadows that will never be sold again, gift sets with sentimental value, eyeliners that are unbelievable pricey, mascara, i mean everything. This always happens to me. Every year around this time, something bad goes wrong. Three years ago a car crash. Two years ago I sprained my ankle. I barely bought my laptop last August. It literally just had it's birthday. I finished paying it off in July. My music, pictures and videos were my life. This hurts so very much. For some strange reason I still have hope that it will find its way back to me. I just had learned to make movies. I had completed four DVDs for the middle schools to practice with. It had one bluetooth mouse in the pocket and another usb mouse in the side pocket.

Everyone tells me to be happy it wasn't the car or worse ...you. But just thinking of not having my laptop with me anymore is sickening. Two people actually said the same thing to me..."I hope those people die in a car crash!" I didn't say it and I didn't agree to it but it was kinda funny that they said the exact same thing word for word.

I wish all restaurants had video cameras, but I don't know how much good it would have done anyway.

I miss my laptop. You will always be in my heart.... RIP

100th Post

So this is my 1ooth post. I can't sleep tonight and there is a lot on my mind. I know I am going to pay for this tomorrow morning. Actually school has been going pretty well. The drill team I am in charge of is performing great.


So divine intervention occured and my laptop lost power. I went to sleep finally and blogspot saved what little I had written.

Summer Recap

I had a very good summer. I traveled, read lots of books, went out, and spent time with family and loved ones. It started out very lazy, got busy with the sun, made some money, and now I'm back at work. It doesn't surprise me that the floors in my new dance room were never changed. It is our first day of officer camp and I am really excited. I set up my "office" for now, knowing that I will have to change it when my co-workers get here. Today is Modern. I love Modern. The music, the emotion.... is just so me.

I spent 10 days in NYC. I got to spend some much needed time with my sister. I worked a sample sale and got some free shoes. I went to a fashion meets finance party and saw my first runway show. I read in central park. I went to the MET. I finally saw the Empire State building. I took dance classes in a 3 day convention where I met Benji. I had a blast every single night! I love New York. Literally. I wish I could live there, I really do, but I'm always so scared to try something new. Although that was not the case with food this time....I tried just about everything I could and enjoyed almost all of it. I drank a lot of wine, which usually isn't the norm for me and I met the most amazing group of people. I had some really great adventures. I wish I could write them all down but that would take forever so I'll just put in keywords that will help me remember.

Batman
Shield
hail a taxi
Doug
illegal video
bug bites
"last night"
Dew
so nice to meet you

HA HA that pretty much sums it up....
I took pics but I won't put those up


Hope everything goes well with the Silver Stars Camp!

Fin-al-ee

My heart hurts from all the stupid t.v. I have been watching. Why are all the season finale's so sad? Gossip Girl totally sucked. I think Dan is the stupidest person on the face of the earth. Blair and Chuck... can you say yuck!... and what was wrong with Vanessa? OK, I will admit it, I didn't like her at first but she grew on you and the show gave no reason for having them break up. The only cute part was little Jenny H. getting accepted into the Waldorf internship. I did however like the quote of letting go of the things that we loved when we were young.... And holding on to it is keeping us from moving forward. I seriously need to take a hint from the t.v. that I watch. House was really really sad...as if I wasn't already feeling depressed from Gossip Girl, I turned on House. He finally remembered the symptom that was so very important. It was so sad the way the story turned out...to know that you pretty much killed the one person that meant more than anything to your one and only best friend. Wow...and not to mention HIMYM, a proposal? Don't even get me started on Sunday's shows. Everything just left me confused and wondering. Doors were opened left and right. I guess that's what make shows entertaining.

So, enough about t.v...... I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I was someone else. What if I was a movie star? What if I was homeless? What if I were alone? And then I remember that I am alone. Even if I am surrounded by family, friends, students, and lovers.... I always feel alone. Maybe that's just the way that I'm hardwired. It's not something that I can't get past though. Like I said before, keeping busy is what keeps me going. Not sitting and having time to think, makes things better.

I bought new jeans. Finally! I haven't decided what to do with the old ones though. It seems like such a waste to throw them away...but I can't possibly wear them....lol....

YSL is offically my favorite fragrance maker.

Haven't been reading like I should. I need to.

Thunder and Lightning

So my internet has been down for like days now. I don't know how to fix it. I am bumming off a "superduper router" from like a neighbor or something.

My work life and home life are really different right now. It seems almost opposite all the time. If something is going good at work then my home life sucks, if home life is great then work life sucks. When can things get equal?

Oh yea, why is it that people don't return text messages or phone calls. I'm not talking about relationships here, I'm talking about people you just know. Maybe it's good news. Maybe it's not, but either way, isn't the polite thing to do is call back?

My sister graduated from Southwestern. It was awesome. My mom and I drove to Austin on Friday, picked up my sister and dad and had dinner together. The next day was the hottest day of the month! I felt bad for her in her black robe, especially when standing on a riser to take the panoramic picture, but she looked great and should be proud. Luv you Lana! We came back on Monday, so it was like a four day weekend. To top it off we have inservice today (Friday) so I only had to teach 3 days this week. Work life rocks!

We also had Drill Team tryouts...again. Now I have a total of 24 people on my Silver Star Dance Team. Our first performance is Saturday. Freshman orientation. I found myself staying an hour later than I had to but I have kinda gotten a little carried away with this organization stuff. Today we met the band directors and worked out our room assignments for next year. Turns out that we can keep a dance room. Yea!
