Dancing


I love the feeling of dancing. The motion is so peaceful. I, in no way claim to be a good dancer, however, the feeling a completely conquered dance brings is so amazing. What was once so straining and mentally tiring, now feels like the softness of rain or like the gentle delivery of Debussy's Clair De Lune. Ah, I just love it! Today, I can feel that feeling as if it were the air that I breathe; a steady flow, inhale exhale.

All this talk of dance has reminded me that I need a new pair of pointe shoes. I just got a new pair of soft shoes (the old ones had holes in the toe, and I was constantly stubbing them when while I was dancing). New pointe shoes aren't like new soft shoes. You get almost instant gratification with soft shoes. They take a day to mold to your feet and a few more to get used to the new feeling. Pointe shoes take a little longer and aren't nearly as comfortable. I wonder if i should try lambs wool instead of toe pads with my point shoes. Lately, I have heard that it is a little more comfortable.

Day Dreams In Atsronomy

Well, I'm blogging finally. As i sit here, I find it hard to find anything of interest to talk about. Nothing that would interest anyone but myself that is. Today was the average school day, with chores in between.

I guess this all I have to work with:

Finals are coming up. I think that I feel pretty ready for my math final, however, the thought of my Astronomy final is going to give me an ulcer. But I won't dwell on unhappy thoughts. I am glad to be almost done with this semester and soon to be moving onto a new one.

Right now, I'm listening to Divine Discontent by Sixpence None the Richer. For some reason, this song reminds me of Jordie Lindsey. I don't know why. Maybe when we were little, we would listen to them while we sat on her bedroom floor writing and drawing. For some reason, when I think back on those times, I think of us doing us exactly that but it always feels like it was summer. And the lighting is always like the lighting a dream would have.

I have felt so day dreamy today. It was one of those days where I sat in class and suddenly had all these ideas and ways to phrase things for my stories that I had been stuck on. I am glad to have burst through the writers block, however, it would have been nice if it wasn't during class. But what can i do? Haha. Outside of that, I was just completely encompassed in my own thoughts. Sometimes, I get lost in there. Thoughts can be such a tangled mess sometimes. I didn't even really talk today.

Before I go on too much longer about things non-consequential and boring, I'll stop right there.
