Bittersweet Symphony

Hmm, so my weekend was more amazing than predicted. :))
The club was fab, and we stayed out until around 3, doing the after-hour thing, and I didn't even get tired! My head felt so clear, and so free. I really needed that.
Fellowship & my cookies were also a hit, so I'm really glad. I know it's dumb, but I always get nervous about things like that. As if I'm more worried about people liking my baking/hostessing abilities than I am about them liking me as a person. Lame. But whatever.

And today I'm actually off due to company holiday, thank goodness. So I'm chilling in my PJs and going to dinner tonight with a bunch of my neighbors. I just woke up, and I've got some serious movie-watching to do. Hah.

Okay, let the bumming commence.

One more day until the weekend. Thank goodness! 
Another thing to be thankful for: My ankle is feeling ten times better. So, I'll probably be dancing again in a week instead of two. :) 
And Jake had a great time at my church last night. Happy Camperrr.

Friday night- dinner & club with my girls.
Saturday- Bumming around, then going out who knows where. Heh.
Sunday- Church, Fellowship (with cookies!), Disney movie marathon with Amy.

I'm so pumped! I can't wait to do some dancing that doesn't put my ankle in jeopardy. Lol. Not only that, but I bought a fab black silk dress to wear with my new red wedges. Yummy. We're going to MCCXXIII, heck yes! 

Okayy, back to work. Yuck. Byee. :))

...I'm so bored I've been reduced to cheesy puns! Nooo.
Work truly is amazingly boring. I've been doing statements all day, and I'm about to pull my hair out!
So, I'm taking time to update...

I sprained my ankle last night in pointe class. :( It's not too bad, and I should be back on it in about 2 weeks, but I'm going to die without my class! Ew.

At least there's church tonight. :) And, Jake is coming with me! I didn't mention, but he FINALLY broke it off with the clingy little chick he was dating, so he's actually allowed to hang out with me now. Lol. It does bother me how spineless he was about it, but he'd also just gotten out of a pretty bad relationship, so I know he wanted something to work out. But I know... it's hard not being with someone, especially when you've gotten so used to it... 

Whatever, I'm not going to brood on my past relationship drama. I'm just glad to have my friend back. I think it'll be good for him to come with me tonight. He's thinking about changing churches, and it's so hard to find a good nondenominational church that hasn't become ridiculously commercialized.  I went to one that built a freaking Starbucks in the lobby! It was awful; not church, but the Mall of Christ. So not what I'm looking for... So gimicky. 

Ah, now my ankle really is hurting. And I've got to run to the bank. And I'm hungry. And I want to dance soo badly. 

BLEH. 

I'm not really in such a bad mood, there's just a lot going on... and these phones won't stop ringing! :\

Finally! NYC was AMAZING but I'm so glad to be back... well, except the grossly muggy weather here. Ew. That's the only drawback to living in DC... That, and all the liberals! Haha.

I had a really excellent time, especially considering that my roomie and I didn't fight once. She really wanted to do the whole tourist thing, ya know, see the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central, etc. I, like always, just wanted to absorb the atmosphere. I know that sounds beyond cheesy, but I love getting to know the personality of a city, not just its landmarks.   We spent an entire, glorious day museum hopping, and another running all over the ethnic neighborhoods and getting fat on foreign cuisine. :) But, I can't be doing too much eating, otherwise I'll break my pointe shoes. Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't starve myself my any means, but lately I've been eating a lot more than I care to, and being a dancer, you HAVE to be at the top of your game. Speaking of, I need to attend Open Barre at least once this week... Lovely, another thing to add to my list! 

I also badly need a manicure, and to get ready for fellowship this weekend! I'm in charge of bringing snacks, so I'm making these amazing cookies that my friend gave me the recipe for. They're surprisingly low-cal, and DELISH. I forget what they're called, but they're very everything-but-the-kitchen-sink. Lol. And speaking of church, I need more Sunday clothes! Ahh. I saw an adorable white silk, puff-sleeve dress in Banana Republic last week that I must own. 

Okay, and now I gotta go clean the apartment! And get ready for dinner with my girls tonight. :)

 I had 10 million things I should be doing right now instead of updating this... like packing. And eating breakfast. I'm leaving for NYC today at 4:30, and I've hardly started packing. Every surface of my apartment is covered in laundry and my roommate (who's going with me) hasn't even finished hers! Ahh. We'll be back Thursday. :)

Okay, now here's a confession. I have a very sad obsession with the Canadian TV show Instant Star. :) Seriously, I don't even care that it's a little corny, the characters are so endearing. Plus, I think since my singing voice is so bad, I like watching people on TV who actually can sing. But hey, that never stopped me from singing in the car. Driving to the mall yesterday I sung the entire Holiday Parade EP at top volume (and I wasn't even that bad!) and definitely was awesome. Haha.

And I really want a chocolate milkshake. Like a lot.

But I have to go! Pack! Clean! Shower! Etc!

See you next week. :)

& RIP, Tim Russert.

 First entries are always a bit awkward... But, after years of privately journaling, I'm pretty excited to have a public outlet. 

Okay, so moving on from the weirdness! DRAMA. EW. Recently, my best friend has gone completely AWOL on me. He's got this new girlfriend who is pure nasty.  She views every second that they aren't touching as a second wasted.  I don't mean they like, go at it in public, but they're so nauseatingly snuggly.  Talking to them is about as awkward as talking to people doing it. *Shudder* She's in my Theatre class, and she seemed really cool at first, but she leeches on to guys and unfortuneately, she's chosen my best friend Jake as her next victim. It pretty much makes me die inside. I freaking miss him!

Anddd, I got the most call today from a guy I met months ago, asking if I wanted to go out this weekend. He's pretty hot, but it was seriously random. I didn't go anyway because I had a College Repubs meeting, but I'm not sure I would've gone if I was free. And! Partyy later tonight at my upstairs neighbors' place. Which means I have to go make myself pretty. Lol.

So, to all you reading this, I promise it'll get more interesting! And thanks for the add. :)
