I’m getting so much better at belly dancing! Woo hoo. I need to be consistent with exercising and not just dancing, but I’m workin on it! My veil work is sloppy , but my footwork is way better. I’m so proud! I still can’t camelwalk for crap– well technically I can do it until the left leg moves forward. Xavier looks at me like I’m crazy when I do it. He tries to hold onto my legs. Actually, he does that no matter what I’m doing. Kids.

Man, I’m so sleepy. It’s hard out here for a  bear.

Oh! It also must go on the record that I’ve been in touch with some friends I hadn’t seen or spoken to in like 6 or 7 years.  The first is Chase– this nuggah just fell off the face of the planet. I saw him at David’s birthday party back in November.  The next is Ariel. The former BFF and I are on happy terms again as of a couple of months ago. Lastly there’s Lance, Kyle, Angel and David (Bravo). After all the drama with David its surprising that we were able to hang out even in a group situation, but we’ve both grown up. It’s been 7 years and I’d recently decided to be over the craziness anyway. Oddly enough, I’m happy to see everyone, but I’m still cautious. At the same time, it’ll be nice to FINALLY have people who actually want to do the things I’m interested in doing.

Wow. It’s been ages since I posted here. Autumn was a busy season. As was winter I suppose.  I guess I’ll make a list.

• I went to Key West, FL with Erik, Xav and my in-laws. It was great and I was sad to leave. I think that’s the perfect place for us.
• I’ve been in touch with my old BFF Ariel and it’s been great.
• Item number two has shown me how much I miss other people (only a few) and that’s kind of sad because I never stopped talking to them. People just drift apart.
•  I’ve finally cleared out enough soap stock that I can make some more. I’m happy about this.
• I have my sewing machine back and have started to crochet again.
• My hair is braided again. Purple in the front makes me happy.
• I have always fiddled with bellydancing, esp since I dance mostly from my hips, but now I’ve been encouraged to get out of the damned house and take a class. So I will. I start Saturday.
•  I got a B in Creative Writing last semester. My teacher said I’m really great at writing dialogue and making good characters.She reccommended I take fiction and screenwriting courses and I think I’ll listen throughout my next few semesters.
• Today starts Spring semester. I’m taking another English (non-creative), World Religion (!), CIS class I need to test out of, and I can’t remember the fourth class again. WTF?!
• I have a super fun photoshoot on 1/31 and cant wait to get back in the studio!
• Lastly, I’m really happy with life in general and glad I didn’t number this list. I will not go back and check to see how many bullets I have. I’m fighting my odd/even OCD.

I am trying to stick to a novel and try my hardest to not quit when a movie/TV show similar to my idea comes out.

I’ve only got 2.5 weeks of Japanese 102 left. Then I take four online courses in September. I’ll be on my super-focused mode at that point. One of my classes is ENG 205 - Creative Writing. That should be hard but enjoyable. Thank god it’s online. I can’t read my own writing in front of people. I’d cry– or something equally lame.

In other news, I love this kid:

Johnny Rockets
Originally uploaded by avytech

My darling husband bought me a Flip Mino. I must say I LOVE this thing. I only see two cons:
a) There’s no hold button and the buttons are all touch-screeny sensitive. I see accidental deletion in my future.

b) The file sizes are big… I can change them in-computer so it’s okay.

Anyway, I have tons of videos on flickr now. Yay. Lots of Xavier, too. I go back to work on Monday so there will be more more stuff on Monday night/Tues am of non-baby life. I’ll probably leave it with Erik Tues-Fri since he’ll be home with X.

Oh so last night my mom babysat again.
Erik and I went to Passional (it’ll always be Fetishes Boutique to me) and I got some nice stuff. This includes an awesome black corset with pink pinstripes. Yay.
Afterward, we headed over to Johnny Rockets. Mmmmm Streamliner! I love a good soyburger. Our waitress looked just like a young Tori Amos. We told her. She blushed. It was good.

Uh oh. I think someone pooped.
Adios
