another country seldom heard from

rollup strikes again. pops in chat. that boy is never online, he decides now to say h'lo?

lesson

ah the quick step... how i love thee. sure, i'm just learning it and i don't know it very well at all. i can "do" it with dr. d and maybe socrates could lead me through it. but... that's probably it. the same seems to go for viennese waltz.

tuck the tail in. gotta remember that. it makes following either of those so much easier.

quick text from socrates letting me know he got home safe. i worry. i'm a worrier. it's what i do. it's who i am. what do you want from me?

rollup thinks i'm funny too. who knew i was this hilarious? i'm just a laugh riot. guinness and fire at his house last night and getting to see agnes was so good. i miss that little bearded lady. plus when she falls asleep on my butt, it's just too cute.

salsa?

dancing tonight? oh please yes. socrates called to ask where some good salsa clubs are. i should call the karaoke queen and ask her. she knows all the really good ones...

oh and texting for 2 hours AFTER i went to bed just seems silly. but that's what rollup and i did last night. i feel a little dorky for it, but it was still fun. :)

better?

i deleted a post from monday. i was way too venty and bitchy. okay, not 'way too', but definitely over the limit by a couple of miles. anyway, the problem is mostly resolved and i'm gonna play mostly dumb. should that situation arise again with the person in question, i will do my best to act in a calm and rational manner and calmly and rationally explain that if i'm ever stood up again his dancing lesson will come to a profound and abrupt end. possibly with my heel in his foot. but that remains to seen.

still not reason enough to drive like an @$$

just because there's an earthquake in west salem, il does not mean you people can drive like freakin' morons. the left lane is not and never has been for slow traffic. so get the hell over so i can get around your poky ass. grr...

despite all that, *eyeroll*, i'm in a pretty decent mood. there's dance tonight. i slept for real last night. i got my state refund deposited this morning and it's pay day (money = YAY!). also, rollup sent me a text last night wishing me a good night. hehehe...

it's like outfits

i changed my layout and template here. i liked the other one, but this is a little more "fun". and given how the weather seems to be improving, i like fun. :)

rollup sent a text last night. i was, sadly, already asleep. still no word from socrates, but he's sick, so i'm not surprised or disappointed. i'm not sure what's happening on either front, but i'm just going to try keeping my mouth shut, my inane questions here, and see what happens. wish me luck.

last night i got to work more on the quick step.
heel, toe. toe. toe. toe, heel. heel, toe. toe. toe. toe, heel. collect.
that's (i think) two patterns. this is going to take A LOT of work, and i'm quite sure won't be ready (in my opinion) for either of the summer showcases. *sigh*

oh and happy tax day.

fun and interesting weekend...

FUN: friday was dance, as usual. talked to socrates. he's got the plague now too. get better soon babe. get some rest too. saturday, derby. res dolls won! kick ass at finals ladies!!!

INTERESTING: got a text from a friend i hadn't heard from in a while. good to hear from him. after derby, had a drink and some food, then watched an hilarious show. frisky dingo. so bizarre. and yet so funny!

also, finished my taxes. yes, i waited a freakishly long time. but they're done. and thank god for that!
