Warehouse Project Review

We got a review! Sixth Day Dance Company got a review of their show: Warehouse Project!

  The link is HERE!

That's so cool!
It was probably the most challenging show that I have ever danced in and it really wasn't possible for us to dance it without the grace of God covering over all that we did. We essentially started out on Saturday evening with a show runthroug: full dress, full hair, full makeup and lighting. Dancing as we would in the show. Then there was the actual show of the evening. So we danced that, and the next day there were two more shows! A total of FOUR shows. They were about 50minutes long each, with improvisation danced for about 1/2 an hour before the show even began. I danced for about 10-ish minutes before the show (staggered because the dancers from the first piece danced in rotation for that time) then for about 40-ish minutes in the show. WIN!
Unfortunately on Friday I had over-extended my pectorals practicing for a friend's choreography and I was only able to dance those shows by God's provision. I quite seriously couldn't use my arms after Saturday's final show. and There was JUST enough ibuprofen in the bottle that my sweety gave me to last through the final show on Sunday. It was a very emotional time for all.

Wow. I'm still praising God that We made it!

 

Spiderbots and Spamflies

Sometimes I think that I'm actually more superpopular than I actually am, I check the statistics on my websites to check up on who has seen me, or how much I have been see.

I thought that the other day "Wow, I must be quite popular to have such an amazing number of people look at my blog daily..."

(those were the days when I had 3 people or even 4 people viewing it)

Then I realized that more often than not, search engines will link to photos or keywords and random spambots will go hunting through the cyberspace to find randomess and real people probably don't read this on a daily basis, except for perhaps a select 2 people.

Not that it matters.

But I found it interesting.

holidays

This is what I feel like right now:

Stores are playing Christmas music here.

It's too early, but quite nice.

Procrastination

Ok, so instead of applying for jobs, here I am updating my blog! I realized that I would much rather be payed to do this than to do a job that I would be people pleasing for. You see, I'm a people-pleaser, well, I guess I just said that didn't I?
Silly Carole, You're silly.
Gah! Redundancies!
Just did a little research and bloggers usually get paid to write about advertising things, goodness! I'm not entirely sure that I would be sufficiently satisfied with writing about shoes, or zippers, or the like.
And I'm stuck trying to find that song that I just heard on the radio, it isn't working!
(now that I have found a ridiculous number of amazing songs with the cool name, but not the right lyrics)
TOOooooootally distracted.
This is what I found on my computer from ages ago:

What I feel like on a daily basis once I've finished an enormous task that requires quite a bit of me.
Like this last show!
The Warehouse Project show presented by Sixth Day Dance Company was quite a hit! Seriously!
This was the best and most challenging show that we have ever done, and I was pushed to my limits in order to perform. But it was that challenge that kept me going. My friend Elizabeth commented that we dance for the challenge of it, not to simply release tension or emotion by dancing, so it's more of a intelectual stimulus, and physical challenge as we conserve energy in order to perform to the fullest extent of our ability by the end of the evening.

THIRD TIME ONLINE JOB APPLICATION, this is the third time I've tried to upload my resume...

Show

I had a show this weekend, it was awesome.

I need to take more pictures.

More later, 

right now, I'm busy.

Buzzing In My Brain

So when I have an anxious day I find that my brain processes things too quickly. So sensory overload is often a result of that. I get upset, and irksome, and put-out because nothing is right and nothing can be right until I've had a little fit inside. So how can I deal with it? Exerxcise helps, crying helps, pressured hugs help, and in general, warmth and pressure. Separating me from my environment that creates these conditions is really a good way to help stop the buzzing in my brain.
Sometimes.
Then there are the migraines.
Sometimes they last for what seems like an eternity, then there are other times where I simply can't afford another moment, rush home, and go to sleep. Sleep, silence and darkness usually help to relieve me. I've started to get migraines again, there have been two this week so far, a little one on Monday, and another one today. What is causing them? I wonder. I'm sure that there is a perfectly good explination as to why they have been so frequent this year and not for others, I shouldn't worry about it, and I shouldn't worry anybody else about it.
But still, research is inconclusive.
I do know however how to anticipate that a migraine is happening. I have been able to recognize the symptoms of an oncoming "episode" and what comes along with it.
Sounds start to sound tinny, and colors seem to be a a bit more defined against each other. but other things get fuzzy, like response time, and comprehension, also my ability to compose coherent sentences and conversations tends to go out the window when I'm starting to feel "fuzzy". But today, I got coffee, which tends to stop migraines mostly.

For the record, I hate coffee.
But I wanted to thank the baristas at the star-bucks in the U-Village mall right next to the Crate&Barrell store  for putting up with me when I couldn't even think straight enough to remember to ask for soymilk before she made it the first time...
I'm sorry!
I know how picky all of your cusotmers are!
My roommate works for that corporation.
I get to hear about all the picky people.
I hate being picky, and making life harder for the people whose job it is to help me.
I am a hot-tea person...
Not a coffee drinker.
So thank you again for serving me coffee!
You rock!


I'm sure that I was trying to write a more interesting post, but I seem to have gotten side-tracked. I wonder who else is as destracted as I am...
