Tacoma lovin'

Hey whoever reads this. I'm sure there's so many of you...


I just thought I'd give you a quick update on my life. I'm procrastinating on some reading... and its a beautiful day outside so. I thought I'd stop by here real quick before I get goin' on my homework.


Well, RDG has started. I'm choreographing and in 2 other dances. I'm absolutely thrilled about them all. Seriously. They're going to be amazing. I wish everyone from far away could come to the performance. This is the first time I've really felt at home while doing contemporary. It just feels good. My body aches in places i didn't know it could and that just means I'm doing it right.

School is going well. I've been overwhelmed with an amazing amount of reading. (280 pages for today) and I've also been amazed with much I really love the reading once I do it. i haven't regretted doing reading. I never thought to my self "well, that was pointless." I've finished my readings always thinking and trying to dig deeper. This is a good sign. It means I still love school and I still love my major. Yay!


On campus we recently had a bit of drama. We have a section in our school newspaper called "hey, you" and its where people post either funny, flirtatious or feelings anonymously. We have this performance every year called the "Vagina Monologues" where the women discuss female sexuality the good and the bad. They're posters for publicity were tastefully beautiful photos of them from the back all naked. For some this may be a bit controversial, but given the message of embracing the female body I found this to be beautiful. Well, in the "hey, you" section someone posted something along the lines of that they can't help objectify women when they're naked, but don't worry. he wasn't attracted to the "fatties." Here's the thing though... NONE OF THEM ARE FAT! These are beautiful women. Homeboy just has issues. It caused a lot of drama on campus and a lot of people were hurt by it. It still amazes me that people can be absolutely ignorant of how their words can hurt.

Anyways. That's pretty much it.

My personal life: still single, but now REALLY loving it. I have amazing friends. we have SO much fun and I just love life.

I miss London and all it has to offer. I miss a lot about that place, but. I am here in beautiful Tacoma soaking up this unseasonably warm weather and the sun. :)



Cheers!
