I arrived late to my wedding, and it sucks.
Cry. Tears.

Revelations
reaching and yearning,
our voices in unison,
freedom of the wings.
wading and cleansing,
a ripple, wave, engulfing,
onward we will go.
singing and praising,
the holy vitality,
can you feel it now?

Break Reality
Wow! I'm really pressed for time this month, but I thought I should jot down a few thoughts about last weekend's show.
One satisfying element this year was the variety and quantity of choreography. Early preparation was key, and I'm amazed that Chris managed to organize rehearsals so early on in the semester. I was also in a significantly greater number of pieces, so I felt that despite my poor freestyling skillz, I fulfilled my duty to the group in the remainder acts. I'm also thankful for those friends who supported me and cheered. It was invigorating, and it made me feel that my effort and thesis-delaying was worth it.
I'm especially proud of Brian, Kohei, Alan, and Lauren. They helped communicate my dance, as outrageous as it was.
Taofik is legendary. The time and expertise for all the trailers, intros, fillers... wow.
The post-show withdrawal still lingers, but we have a viewing party scheduled for tomorrow night, so hopefully that will ease the longing.
Oh, I also had to create a personal statement piece for my dance class (1.5 to 2 min long), and I think it went well. I messed up a small part of it, but I hope my improvisation masked the boo-boo. Christine said it was "beautiful" :)
Tonight, I'm watching "The Pillowman," which is apparently creepy-McCreepster, but it's yet another sacrifice or procrastination method. Seriously, I'm sub-consciously preparing for my advisor's flames of fury.
Hmm... meeting with a psychiatrist and then a psychologist.
Finally, I'll be seeing the BAC show on Friday, but right now my biggest concern is for Karen's brother. I pray that he can recover and pull out strong.
Peace out,

Do You Feel Like I Feel?
Wow, I just created what will probably be the most embarrassing video ever. But I'm crazy like that, and it's for an awesome YouTuber.
Natalie!
Speaking of feelings, I am...
excited about our trailer that is hotness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N9bwByGxMg
disgusted with the amount of work I still have left
anxious about an email a friend helped me write to someone... hoping for a reply
grateful to still be a college student.

Top Chef Wedding
So, I had a lovely conversation with a fabulous hairdresser today. Well, she mostly talked and I listened, but it was still nice.
We talked about televised car chases in Los Angeles. Why do the newscasts like to give them so much attention? Does it boost their ratings? Attract an otherwise apathetic viewership? I can only think of one advantage: by knowing which roads the fugitive is on, I know which streets and freeways to avoid.
Oh, and there were flat screen TVs in front of each salon chair, so a rerun of Top Chef happened to be playing. It was an episode of a gay couple getting married. I have no idea why they would want the contestants to prepare their wedding reception... you know some dish is bound to go wrong. Anyways, this started a new topic of all the gay people she (the hair stylist) knew in her life. How they always had gorgeous homes (she was dying to take a peek at her neighbors' house's interior), how they had the most fun personalities, how they were her bestest friends... and then, sensing that I might not have a clue what she was talking about, she asked if I had any gay friends. I replied, "Yeah, they're fun." Haha.
Well, only four more days to crank out some work on my thesis. Then, it will be the beginning of "Hell Week" as my dance group begins intense rehearsing for our spring show. This is only my second year (because I was away last semester), but I know what to expect: tired bodies, very little sleep, but a bonding experience like no other.

Permanently Pressed
Who does his or her laundry at midnight on a Monday, especially when school is not in session? Figuring the answer would be "NO ONE," I proceeded to the laundry room...
... but ran into two people. *gasp* at the First.... *sigh* for the Second.
Now I hate myself again.
I'm just glad the First's slick escape averted an awkward moment.
