Screw You Twilight

Thus have passed my two favorite days of the week:  Thursday and Friday.

Thursday class with Dawn went well, I can't quite remember the centre work we did (the barre seems to have gone missing since Easter holidays, which is a bummer)  but I had a feeling of it clicking just right and keeping up with the arms/feet/head work and feeling very accomplished that I didn't have to stare at her and I could do my pretty ballerina look (which is more likely to look like me being confused and slightly constipated, but I feel pretty, and that's what counts)

We got our costumes for the show, which is a black sarong and for me some tan tights, as Dawn did me a solid and gave me some free tights, cause I'm only in the one dance.  Was slightly offended at first that she gave me large (don't call me fat!) tights, but upon getting home and trying them on, turns out I am a large ballerina and they fit like the sausage casings they are.

Our costumes were presented in a darling plastic bag with "I'm a star!" written across the front and with lovely name tag with the name of the dance you're in.  I felt like I was in elementary school again, and I tell ya friends, it felt good.  I mean, that's my bag, set aside for me.  That makes me feel good.

Anyway, I finally was able to discover the name of the song we're dancing to.  It's instrumental and for the life of me, I'd never heard it.  Was practicing the dance with Dawn's handy youtube videos and asked Jon what he thought the song was, also didn't have a scooby.  Well, my neat costume bag had "Jacob's Theme" on it, and I still didn't get it.

Got home just now, remembering that that was on my "to google" list and typed it in.  And lo and behold, it's from Twilight.  You know, those shitty vampire movies/books that make any one under the age of 16 all hot and bothered  (and if you're over 16 and those movies/books get your hot and bothered, you really ought to be ashamed, I'm just sayin')

I have desperately tried to avoid anything to do with Twilight as I found it irritating and frankly not worth my time.  Matter of fact, wasting too much on it now.  Needless to say, I'm a bit bummed, particularly as the dance immediately before mine is to Adelle's "To Make You Feel My Love" and I'm very jealous.  I've liked that song since Garth Brooks yo.

Oh well, I will dance away and then find a similarly paced song to dance that to in the future when I feel like doing more than just plies!

Wow, I rambled a bit there.  I think I shall leave today's class for another post (which will likely immediately follow this one, after I eat and have a cuppa).
