The Point? Its the Pointe.

I dance. Its the thing I absolutley love to do. Why? Because I love expressing myself. In anyway, but its fun to express myself through movement to music. I also love it because its taking little movements and techniques to make up a whole dance move. I just find it fascinating.
I have done all types of dance, or just about. Jazz, ballet, lyrical, tap, musical theater, hip-hop, modern. But the one I have stuck to the most is ballet. So my studio is now working on Cinderella. Usually we do Nutcracker, but this year we are doing something different. I am the spring fairy. The four season fairies actually dance and are on stage more than Cinderella. Weird right? Yes.
As fun as it is, its really really hard work. I don't know how I'm going to do it...but I guess I have no choice.
And that got me wondering...why do I do so much for ballet? Its not like I'm plannin gon being a prima ballerina. I'm not thin enough, tall enough, flexible enough, don't jump high enough. Just all around not good enough.
And I'm fine with that, I have always known it. If I had plans to become serious about ballet, I would have to be in a boarding school, dancing 6 hours a day. I wouldn't have time for my friends or family. And those things are way more important in my book.

So since I'm not gonna be a pro, why do I spend so much time on this? It takes time away from my school work and friends. I get tired of it real easy. I was starting to consider doing a lot less of it.

But then this past week, the classes where fun, and I realized that its not always going to be fun. But when I'm on stage I enjoy it so much. Or even when I'm just in the studio dancing. Or even in my room when I'm practicing and makeing stuff up. I just love it, there is no doubt. So why quit something I love? Even if it takes up my time. Even if it gives me injuries. Even if it gets boring. Even if I'm not going to get big someday. I'll still do it because I would like to go some where with it someday...who knows where or how...but I love it too much to stop. I love music, and dancing to it, anytime.

Food Fight

So, last night I was at my friends older sister's house. It was a small group of us friends. Me, Katie, Alix, Rachel, Steven, Hunter, and Drew. Hunter and Katie's sister Gina wanted us all to come over for some food, to watch a movie and some games she had planned.
It was all going well, we where chilling out and calm. And then the boys plan this evil plan to get an egg, and smash it on one of us girls heads.
Not cool.

So Hunter had his arm wrapped around Rachel, and he was about to smash the egg on her head without her knowing, but I saw the egg and lunged for it...but I got held back by Steven.

Thats where it all started.
Everyone started trying to get back at eachother. Someone tried to smash an egg on my head, but instead it got smashed on theirs (Drew hehe). Then wet pasta was being thrown everywhere, and then pudding, and eggs (which hurt) and even cupcakes and later silly string.

I hate to say that I was the one and only to get a frosted cupcake smashed into my face.
I had always wondered how in movies when they had messy parts like these, how when someone got a bunch of junky food in their eyes, how it didn't sting? Well thanks Hunter, now I know it doesn't if you don't open your eyes too much.

Drew was the messiest, covered in egg, tons of pudding, silly string and pasta and wet grass. Then Hunter. I came in third, for having frosting all in my hair and nose pudding on my face, and egg on my back.

It was crazy, and people where sometimes angry, but all around it was loads of fun. It wasn't even planned, which made it so much cooler.
I had wished that could have had my camera to take pictures of everyone all gross and messy...but then I realized that having my precious camera around such action would only have led to it being part of the mess. So I am glad I did not bring it.
