Naked dancing

I'm having so much fun in my contemporary choreographers class down at Pomona. I didn't really expect to, but I'm really enjoying it now that Mark is working with us. The other day we spent half the class trying to replicate Beyonce's single ladies choreography. Nothing could have made me happier. We are also currently working on a dance that deals with metamorphises. The dance is hilarious and eventually we (the dancers) start to become progressively less and less clothed as the dance goes on. I'm going to be the dancer who is totally nude. :) We rehearsed it yesterday and it was hilarious. Tom wore my bra to do his section too. I'm glad that with everything else going on, there is something really fun and exciting happening.

Balk by Speechwriters LLC

This song seems to be really summing things up for me at the moment.
Balk:

the first chord's the favorite of everyone indeed
it rings of possibilities, of all the things you thought a song could be
of all your hopes and dreams
la dee dee dee dee dee

the next chord it dissapoints, it dissapoints like me
it heads in a direction, and it stifles other opportunities
of what the song could mean
la dee dee dee dee dee

and now i'm calling you, and it's a sunday, and i'm feeling like a whore
and now i'm telling you, things i've told you, about a thousand times before

the first time i kissed you we heard different things for sure
i thought it was a lovesong yeah, but a short one yeah, well you were hearing more
we both heard different chords
we're different that's for sure

and now i'm calling you, and it's a sunday, and i'm feeling like a whore
and now i'm telling you, things i've told you, about a thousand times before
well it's the last time that i'll hurt you i scream, at the top of my lungs

what the hell has happened to the way things used to be
when freedom meant much more than living harnessed gracefully
and i could tell you that i loved you and believe it faithfully,
dee dee dee dee

and now i'm calling you, and it's a sunday, and i'm feeling like a whore
and now i'm telling you, things i've told you, about a thousand times before
well it's the last time that i'll hurt you i scream, at the top of my lungs

New things?

I've been wanting to post again for some time now, but I haven't been entirely sure what to write about. For the most part I think things are going well. I'm having to drop some things which is unfortunate, but I think it's good that I realized that once again I managed to overload myself. (I just seem to do that naturally, idk how.) So I'll have to learn to play the piano another time. For now my is going to be divided between classes, work, choreographing, recovery stuff and possibly having some sort of social life. When listed all in order like that it seems like I'm doing a lot anyway. Go figure. I've been calling my girl in Florida a lot and going to a lot of meetings lately. I went to a meeting called the Jelly Bean meeting. I always wondered why it was called that, and now I know. They actually do give out Jelly Beans. Nice! I had a really big accomplishment yesterday as well. Then of course I freaked out and had to wake Casey up in the middle of the night, but I still did it. Now I'm off to baby-sit for one of the professors in the music department. I guess I'll have to give more of an update later.
