ebonlock | I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.

Sorry for the whining yesterday, guys, I blame hormones.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I'm currently wishing I had one of those devices like in "A Clockwork Orange" to keep my eyelids propped open while I work today. Sure it'd get uncomfortable after a bit, but the Frappaccino I'm drinking just doesn't seem to be doing it for me. Oh I could've gone back to bed this morning and happily slept for another 3 hours or so.

I hate the fact that once a month I get just anemic enough to make me feel like hybernating for a week. I take a multi vitamin to help combat it, but it isn't always enough. I suppose the intelligent thing to do would be to take a seperate iron supplement as well, but I rarely remember to pick one up. Hopefully feeling like a wet dishrag this week will serve as a reminder.

Not sure what's up tonight with the whole gaming situation, we're currently between campaigns, and I must admit that a night to curl up and relax certainly wouldn't come amiss. Last night I had to actually beat my guilt reflex into submission before I could lie down and just be for a bit. The front lawn is starting to get a little out of control again and I'm starting to wince every time I see it. Must get off my lazy ass either tonight or tomorrow and take care of the issue.

It just occurred to me that this is the first weekend in months where I don't have anything bellydance related scheduled. I'm not quite sure how to react to that.

Oh and before I forget, the Chinese festival/night market is actually something that runs every Saturday night through the beginning of November. So everyone who couldn't possibly go to this weekend's event has lots more chances to attend! If folks want to go together just pipe up with a Saturday in September or October that would work better for you and I'll play Organizational Goddess and see what I can pull together. If I turns into multiple weekends that's totally cool too, I'd go up to Chinatown every day if I could afford to *G*

I really want the end of September to hurry up and get here, the big San Jose belly dance festival is going to be absolutely amazing. Yeah, I know, I've become a bit obsessed with the whole thing, but it's one of the few "healthy" obsessions I've ever had. The exercise is fantastic, I'm learning something new and fun to do, I'm inspired to create costumes, costume pieces, and choreographies, and it's a great excuse to spend time with my friends. It's the creativity outlet aspect that I think pushed it slightly over the edge into obsession. I have to express myself, I need it, like breathing. For a long time my art was the only way I could do that, later it turned into writing, but now it's really becoming dance. I can feel myself getting to the point where I understand the elements I need to work on and improve, which kinds of dancing work best for me, what props I want to start using and how I'd like to use them, where I can fit in more time to practice, etc., etc. I don't just want to do what the teacher shows me now, I want to come up with stuff on my own, and I want to find teachers to give me new ideas and teach me stuff I haven't figured out yet.

Heh, sorry, didn't mean to natter on quite so much, I just really enjoy this and when I feel strongly about something like this I generally enthuse a bit too much. *G*
