Low Blow

Every Wednesday my friend Jess and I take this class w/a dance company. In fact recently we've been asked to perform w/them and I'm uber excited but that's besides the point right now. Jess' mom & boyfriend was w/her that day. When we left rehearsal it was around 11ish and since I had to walk around bak Jess & her boyfriend offered to walk me around to the front. So we walked around front and I got into the car. My mom happened to notice that there was a guy w/Jess and being the usual nosey person she is she asked me who the guy was with Jess I mentioned it was her b/f. And I guess since Jess' mom hadn't come around the corner yet she assumed that he was there to pick her up. She responded by saying "Oh how nice I see Jess' b/f picks her up". Where I immediately responded, "Actually her mom is here for both of them"

The point is not that Jess b/f wasn't there to pick her up; the point is what my mom was hinting at. I'm not mad at my mom, I'm just mad at the situation because this keeps occurring. The truth is he's not perfect, I'm not perfect, no one is perfect but you accept things. It just makes me angry that people constantly doubt my choice in romantic partnering and never just accept the fact that hey maybe I'm happy. I'm so sick of having to defend my relationship to people. If they really wanted me to be happy they would open their eyes and realize that I am happy and they would support me in my choice to make this the person the object of my affections. Some of these people haven't even had a relationship for 1/2 as long as the one I am in and they feel the need to give me advice? Well here's my advice to you, look at me, see how happy I truly am, and be supportive...

Dance Woes, Job Foes: The Frustration of my Summer Days

Well it's another summer, another summer i'm home, another summer i'm dancing to stay in shape, and yet another summer I reamin jobless. I mean granted there's still time but I Optomistic Lovable ME is begining to loose much hope in acquiring a job...yet again. I tired to teaching dance to kids in summer camp, i applied about a month and a 1/2 b4 the camp was to start, I knew there were still positions open. But I shrugged it off and reamined optomistic, there's still peanty of time and more than enough places. Recently (about 2 weeks ago) I applied to 3 other places and the 1 i hav heard bak from is a no. *sigh* I don't get it I have a awesome resume, I'm a people person, porfessional when need, funloving, creative, so many things...so why is it so hard for me to get a job?

And to top off the frustration of the day, somehow I've like injured my back. I'm hoping it will pass, but I'm saddened cuz i missed both of my dance classes tonite...and no telling what kind of crazy awesome choreoraphy i missed tonite and will hav to pick up next wed. Cuz like the choreographer is awesome but very challenging...and results tend to be miss a class and ur screwed. So hopefully nxt Wed. I will be able to pik things up fast. Plus to top it off i dun think I'm not dancing enough. I mean I'm only in a dance class 3 days out of the week and I'm begning to doubt that it's not enough to stay in shape. I mean according to my Contemporary Professor I wasn't ready and wouldn't sign me for Contemporary III (very important considering this is my concentration...and this act alone sets me bak at least a year!!!) which pissed me off but I'm not gonna get into that anger again...so i obviously need all the dancing I can get. *sigh*

I'm sure my summer will get better...

Right?
