Had me a good weekend.
My day sucked at work on Friday. Nuff said. Got home and got in touch with my sis. She and Destanee and I went to the Fine Arts Fiesta after running some errands. We had some food and walked around. I got to carry around Destanee, who wants to be called 'Bell' now, and just have some fun. It was great. Came home after this and watched TV and just relaxed.
Saturday had me meeting up with Lana and Raphael, friends from way back when I used to dance at a local studio. I hadn't talked with them since I quit due to transportation issues. This was about 10 years ago. They're both doing well and we and their mom hung out at the Fine Arts Fiesta. This was probably the most fun I've had in a long time. My *other* old dance studio was there and we watched them perform. I only recognized a couple of the dancers and the head instructors. It seemed that their advanced students, if they were the advanced class, were not as good as that from my time and I'm not just saying that because that was my class. Raph was unimpressed. He said that they didn't do anything difficult and I noticed that the moves that their numbers had incorporated a lot of moves that I did when I danced there, just ordered differently. And the music. They busted out the hamster dance club mix. Made me wince. They could of at least used Bananaphone or 'Badger'. I saw Jackie from my class and for some reason blanked on her name. So I walked up and asked her for it. She recognized me but I didn't talk with her for too long. I regret that. I should have shot the shit more and maybe asked her out or something. She'd have probably said no; A girl that good looking just can't be single but I didn't know that for sure and regret that as well. Oh well. Seems like missing moments like that is a reoccurring regret for me.
Walked around for a bit and got reacquainted with Raph and his life and made jokes embarrassing him as he couldn't believe my antics. Had a lot of fun.
Saw a really weird interpretive dance *thing*. It was suppose to have puppets but all it had was a lot of people with cardboard cut outs of feet, scary masks, and one overly hyper, overly flaming guy in a pink dress. It was pretty freaking. I got the impression that this was some type of religious message as they were handing out some type of paper at the end but I can't confirm this. My naturally evil aura kept them at bay.
Keith would have liked all the eye candy there. Lots of beautiful women, well probably girls. I didn't get the impression that there were a lot of good looking single women around. People might say I was being negative and I might be but I have to go with my gut on this. I didn't get a single vibe from women that I thought were appropriate for my age.
The studio that Lana, Raph, and I danced at was up next and I had fun trying to find out which girls Raph had relations with while talking in code. He had some hang ups about having his business talked about in the open and I mean more than the stuff about these girls. Weird to me as I'm pretty open about everything. I was a little worried that I put off their mom, but I think I'm just like that around parents. I have no experience dealing with mine on an adult level so I feel uncomfortable around other parents. Anyway, the recital that they put on was technically proficient though they didn't keep together for a lot of the group stuff. And it was boring. When they finished, I kept explaining "Is that it!?!" as I thought there should have been more.
Both studios pimped out their upcoming shows a couple of times and the 2nd studio passed out fliers for lessons three times. Three times I had to decline as I wasn't planning on lessons and didn't have anyone else to send to lessons. I started getting creative as the kids passing out these fliers didn't want to take 'No' for an answer.
Went back to their apartment and hung out for a bit. Shared, probably too much, of my history and what's going on in my life. Embarrassed myself with making an assumption about something and being totally wrong. This time I feel like an ass in a bad way. :-(
Came home and because I wanted to center myself though of people that have it worse off than I did/do. Relaxed, watched 'Justice League', and went to sleep.
Woke up this morning and watched 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch', which Lana loaned me. It was good. Not really my sort of thing and I got confused at the end. I didn't understand why Hedwig was walking naked down the street. Then I watched the making of Hedwig and had my question answered, I think. Learned a lot about what went into making, first the show and then the movie. I became really impressed at this point. I learned where the show came from, what they're trying to say, and what they went through to make the show happen. Frickin' awesome. I plan to watch it again sometime during the week and listen to the director's commentary as well. I've got time. Lana won't be back for at least another two weeks (in which she's missing her bro's b-day unless he's going to Philly. He should go to Philly. That would be cool. She's missing my b-day but I've got no plans and won't have enough cash to take myself let alone anyone else out for dinner. It's a German thing. I learned out it in German class at Muhlenberg. It's the birthday celebrator that pays for the dinner or snack and not everyone else who buys the cake. I kinda like it as I'm uncomfortable with anyone but my sister making a fuss for my b-day).
I felt perplexing-ly upset with not talking with Jackie as well as some other stuff. Mostly the petulant feelings that a 6 year old has when they want something RIGHT NOW. So I got out my saber and sat and went through some cuts and other stuff. Eventually this focus allowed me to move past these crap feelings and get on to just enjoying the day. Got some Burger King for lunch/dinner and listened to 'Serendipity' as well as 'Kissing a Fool' while I played World of Warcraft. Just finished up with WoW for the night and am relaxing until 'Deadwood' and 'Greys Anatomy' comes on.Current Mood:  happy |

I scored a 20/21. I think I missed some obscure hero I never heard about before and guessed correctly for another hero I never heared about. Good Luck if you play.Current Mood: quixotic |
