This will be disjointed but you'll live.

My life has been in somewhat of a dream state lately.  When your primary task is event planning/booking, the passage of time takes on a new clarity.  We only book for ten months in advance (i.e., next week we will start booking for May 2008), however to really think that it's almost July right now, sometimes that makes me feel a little crazy.  I'm trying to head to PA in August however with J's parents coming out, my Jury Duty looming ahead, and funds being tight, it won't happen until September.  Ah well, it should be cooler out.  Looks like Kennywood is done with "daily" openings after September 16th until next summer, so I'd like to shoot for a trip that second week of September.  Let's hope Jury Duty only lasts one day, but you know my luck.

I've recently run into some people from several lifetimes ago on MySpace.  One of the three has turned out entirely different from how my memories said they might, the other two still look pretty much the same.  It's cool to see them though.  So honestly, I am now caught up with all those other lives except for a small handful; of course those are the people I'm most curious about.  It's like a train wreck, or maybe a Car-B-Q.

Ballet has sparked a new light in me, a light that makes me want to practice.  It feels like I'm obsessed with trying to work out, although I spend the majority of my free time in front of a computer, researching when I should be doing.

Speaking of spark, my Juxtapoz subscription finally arrived, and it didn't really do anything for me.  No new switch was flipped with each turn of the pages.  My love of graffiti culture is not so large, and that's what the entire issue focused on.  It had some good pieces but the format was kind of funky.  I'm hoping the next issue (or maybe the issues from December to May that I missed) will make up for it.  This issue seems like a love-it-or-hate-it run.

I put a partial payment down on the Scoot o' Doom, this means I have to find the money for the rest.  Looks like it'll be mine by the end of July.

Money is slow and shallow right now, something happened on Craigslist and I can't post ads - but only for massage.  Every other board, no problem, but trying to post an ad for massage therapy is either going to cost me some cash or I have to call G to have her post it.  It seems like with all the drama they banned a bunch of people at random, like some forced exodus. 

I'm taking two classes (1.5 hours each) of ballet per week.  It's frustrating to be such a newbie but it makes me want to work harder.  Also I am painfully aware of my wardrobe versus Real Ballet Wardrobe - even the dancers wearing old stuff are still wearing leg warmers, leggings, leotards, fluffy long skirts... and I'm in yoga pants and a t-shirt.  It sucks being broke.  I could go to class tonight and tomorrow instead of tomorrow and Thursday, meaning two beginning classes and no advanced, let's just hope I can get laundry done in time.

Vegas was fun.  Also, "Vegas" doesn't always mean a trip to frivol away my hard-earned cash at the nickel slots; I've discovered that having one of your best buddies live there means Trip For Fun Free Time!  There's a fairly lengthy post about it over here in my LiveJournal, so you can read up.  My goal now is to edit the few photos taken by me, and await the mass taken via Frenchie's camera.

What else, what else.

I made some sort of art for the first time in weeks, lookit.  It was a rough draft but it came out a little different than expected, so I wanted to share.

That seems to be all.  I feel weird lately; obsessive over the wrong things and feeling general twinges of panic just under the surface.  Things at home here are great, Jason is in a pretty good mood these days, but it feels like I'm wrecking it somehow.  This is all most likely due to financial stress, and weight gain - which is due to stress.  You like how that works?  I can't win.  However the solution to winning is to find a goal, find your problems, find the root of the problem, fix it, and take the proper steps to your goal.  Right now it seems like I've knocked out most of that except fixing the roots, so I'm off to find some mental Clairol.

Hope all of you are having a decent day, here are some photos of my trip to see D'fab.  I am not loving Vox's photo system yet, but maybe someday.

BY THE WAY... in case you were ever wondering how to conduct yourself when any other person is there, even if it's just you and your roommate, here's a simple note to keep in mind:

Always remember, that sh/t could end up on the Internet.
