quarante...et deux.

Mon Aug 31, 2009, 2:03 PM
Exactly what I said on Facebook, but it bears repeating.
40 things I learned this summer, with an added two things...one added by my friend Emily, and one added by me, and which was technically learned the third week of school.
but fuck it, summer isn't over until I have to wear pants! :D
Suck on that.

Moving on...

----

1. Distance has nothing to do with love. <3
2. Music brings people together like nothing else can.
3. There is always someone who believe in you.
4. People can and will amaze you, and even when you least expect them to, they will stand by you.
5. Always keep the receipts to things, because it's true that anything that CAN go wrong will.
6. Sushi is best when eaten at night on a playground, with one of your best friends.
7. You can buy the best quesadillas in the world in South O.
8. If you can walk the morning after dance class, you're doing something wrong.
9. Some things never change.
10. I can't wait to get out of Omaha, but there are people here who I don't know how I'm going to live without.
11. Not to let anyone suck the joy out of dance for me.
12. It's really difficult to do fouettes barefoot in the grass.
13. I am a really horrible friend sometimes.
14. If dancing doesn't work out, I have no plan B.
15. Being surrounded by people who share your passion and your goals is the coolest thing ever.
16. I really hate the words "sorry" and "it's okay." Both saying them and hearing them.
17. Tube socks > Foot Undeez.
18. I am not invisible, and people do see me for both the dancer and the person I am, and appreciate what I do.
19. I'm so grateful to be alive, and to be physically capable of doing the things I can do.
20. Sometimes, eight-year-olds will teach you more about dance than any teacher.
21. Just to go for it, no matter what "it" is.
22. I remembered what it felt like to leave my heart on a dance floor, and it felt amazing.
23. Dancing ten feet away from your heroes is a very, very cool feeling.
24. It's okay not to be the best at everything.
25. I talk about dance a lot...but it's kind of all I do, and that's a-okay with me.
26. Art doesn't imitate life, and life doesn't imitate art. Life is art, and art is life. Period.
27. Procrastination bites me in the butt every time.
28. I know exactly what I want out of life, and I'm not giving up, regardless of what anyone says.
29. I kind of sort of really like life.
30. I can say things with my body that I would never dare say out loud.
31. Nobody can take away your dreams but you.
32. As difficult and cryfest-inducing ballet is, it's also an extremely good means of clearing your head.
33. I am capable of so much more than I've ever given myself credit for.
34. Sock shopping for other people is REALLY fun. :]]
35. Apparently, what I see in the mirror is not what other people see when they look at me.
36. Shoulder injuries are a pain in the ass...no pun intended.
37. The Indian version of Thriller is the funniest thing ever.
38. Cool people rock out to Wham! in the car with their moms.
39. Pants are seriously overrated.
40. I don't want to be a perfect technical dancer (though that would be a nice bonus), I just want to inspire one person.

----

41. (added by my friend Emi) Epic chats with gay and bi girls will make you more gay. :D

42. Boys are not, in fact, the dumbest creatures in the world.
...okay, yes they are. But there are definite exceptions to that. :)

----

How about you, kids?

oh yeah, and I'll journal about Dare 2 Dance and how it was the most profound, amazing experience I have ever had in my life...
When I get around to sitting down and typing it all up.

  • Mood: Euphoric
  • Listening to: Golden Train - Justin Nozuka
  • Reading: Spark Notes.

I'm Ally, and I'm a little left of center.
And there isn't a whole lot I have faith in.
But I do believe, wholeheartedly, in love, and in dreams, and most of all, in music and the effect it has on people.
Hugs are my favorite thing in the world.
And I love you.

Hrn. What are you doing monday?

:iconsomuchlovexxo:
FUCK. I'm sorry, I'm a terrible person and haven't been checking this. :(
I feel really bad now, ack! Call me sometime or something =] I'm better at picking up my phone than I am at checking DA messages, it seems. Ahhhh, shit, I'm still sorry. Can I bake you anything to make it up to you?
:iconweeperblast:
Don't worry about it, dear. I've got all summer for you and I to stuff a horse with lightbulbs.

And you call me. I'm free wednesday and friday.

Do you want to see me perform a couple of my newer poems at an open mic?

:iconsomuchlovexxo:
AHHH so my laptop totally broke, so basically, my phone is my only means of communication at the moment :(
Anyways, I definitely just read this message, but if the open mic hasn't happened yet, I'd LOVE to go. :)
:iconweeperblast:
Call me! Your number changed or something. I want to do this horse shoot thing with you. Cmmoonnn.

My number definitely hasn't changed, dearest.
402-740-4755 (don't rape me, DA stalkers!)
however, my phone charger is broken, I think, but HOPEFULLY the one from my sister's old phone will work for me once I get home tomorrow...
If not, I'm fucked, because there is lots of family bullshit going down and the odds of my parents going out and spending a whole two bucks on a new charger are slim-to-none.
Ah, c'est la vie. I dunno, so if you can't get a hold of me telephonically by like 7 pm tomorrow, blame phone problems, and you can try to message me via DA, but that might be a long shot too, since it's entirely possible that I won't have Internet. FML

Anyways, that long-windedness aside, I FUCKING MISS YOU!
