Somehow this reminds me of Elijah....

Fun Fun Fun

So.

I'm back in my boot/on crutches for two more weeks, so probably no Nutcracker for me this year :( My dad drove up to Sac yesterday to bring me my mom's car which she's loaning me for the next few weeks though.  I have awesome parents.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow.  I figured I'm not dancing so I might as well put myself in more pain :) Yay smoothies and pain killers!

At this point I'll probably come down to LA after Thanksgiving because (hopefully) I get to start dancing again December 1st, and I definitely want to be home for my first week of dancing.  I love the classes here but I know I'm going to push myself too hard if I try to get back into shape here.

Anyway, that's all my fun news.  As always, I loved my SBB phone call on Thursday...even if I had no idea what was going on half the time :D

By the way, crutches are absolutely ridiculous.

"Listen, baby, people do funny things.  Specially us.  The cards are stacked against us and just trying to stay in the game, stay alive and in the game, makes us do funny things.  Things we can't help.  Things that make us hurt one another.  We don't even know why.  But look here, don't carry it inside and don't give it to nobody else.  Try to understand it, but if you can't, just forget it and keep yourself strong, man."

Obsession Station

So, thanks to having regular broadcast television for the first few weeks I was here and Justin's obsession, I've been watching way too much of "How I Met Your Mother."  Not that I'm complaining about that....

Really, it's hilarious.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

LIFE GOALS

I'm bored/oddly motivated.

1. Become a professional ballet dancer :D
2. Go to college.
3. Live in a foreign country.
4. Live in New York City.
5. Be on Broadway?

To be continued...

Whoops :D

So, it's been a while.

I'll work in chronological order:

Halloween: I went as Madeline. John, Biber, and I went to Mary's for a bit before picking up Rex, Isha, Kelly and Oliver (our new Brit) and then the seven of us went to Ron and Carinne's for the company Halloween Party. The whole company was there (and then some) and, most importantly, there was a ton of food! The costumes were great; our teacher Nolan T'sani was the Pope, Alysia was the Chaquita Banana lady, Lauryn was Twiggy, Isha and Meghan (a new girl from the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater trainee program) were Audrey Hepburn, Rex was La Roux, etc. Basically, we had fun. There are pictures, go stalk on Facebook :D

On a less fun note, Monday my foot was hurting as badly as it did two weeks ago (I couldn't balance on it) and Tuesday it was super swollen after barre. I called my doctor from Torrance and described it to him and he told me to see the doctor he referred me to within 24 hours and to put my boot back on. The next day I went and got x-rays, and from what I understand the bone is in 3 parts but the doctor didn't make that sound like a huge deal so I don't really know what's going on. I haven't danced since Tuesday and I'm back in the boot. I have an MRI scheduled for Monday, so hopefully I'll know more after that. Hopefully it'll be fine...

Fingers crossed everyone.
