career blahs

yesterday was hard. in yoga, i felt weak, and like i couldn't do half the poses i usually can....that started a downward spiral and my inner critic had a hayday (heyday??) anyway, i've been thinking about dance and how i make my living and how i'm not satisfied with my relationship to either of these things. over the weekend, i was in the woodlands, texas with tom and his family. it was a very nice time, but my almost-sister-in-law-in-law asked me about my job, and what i wanted to be doing, and i got really frustrated with myself that i didn't have an answer. another thing highlighted was my fear that i won't be a good mom. a.s.i.l.i.l. is an amazing mom, completely putting her children first. what if i am too selfish? ( i initially typed "too elfish".....what if i'm too elfish?!? what if i puncture my child with my pointy ears?!?!)

i heard

affirmative.


squee!

another notable item about the weekend....

tom took me to the pirate store (my first time) and i got MOPPED!
(if you don't know what i mean, maybe it's time YOU paid a visit to the store. hee!)

i did this over on my myspace blog sometime ago, and will do it again.

Here's how you play, once you've been tagged. You have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts or habits about yourself. At the end you choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them to be tagged. Don't forget to leave them a comment "You're It!" and to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you...

1. i think my email name is childish, but i'm very resistant to changing it.

2. during resting pose in yoga (when you're supposed to be still) my nose always begins to itch, and i always scratch it (even though i know if i just let it be, the itch would pass). hmmm.

3. i peed my bed up til the 4th grade.

4. i voted for the first time at age 26.

5. i'm kinda into jesus and god, and worry that it might be an issue when me and tom have kids.

6. a few people have seen me in my wedding dress. i felt sad and wondered if it wasn't beautiful, because no one cried! (pretty ridiculous, i know!)

7. a live video of me is broadcast on the internet 5 hours a day and only certain people know the web address.

8. i have lied about my SAT scores. i also lied to get a bartending job.

9. sometimes i am egotistical and i don't like it. for example, i noticed that m. franti stopped coming to the yoga class i go to....the last time he was there, i made a point to say i was engaged. part of me wonders if he was coming to that class because of me.

10. everytime i see my bare butt in a mirror, i am appalled at how flat it is.

i implore bex, elyse, erin mc, hallie and anyone else who reads this blog (who hasn't yet been tagged) (and who has their own blog) to try!

my favorite thing i saw on the internet today

-who's there?

i got called back for the devil-ettes audition, THAT'S WHO!

puker

so, not drinking very much has really been working out well for me. i threw that all down the toilet (literally) saturday night at drea's b-day bash-a-roni. you guys, i haven't been that wasted in a long. time. believe it or not, i didn't pass out....i just danced a lot and told strangers how much i love tom, and how much i love my friends. i also smoked cigarettes. and then, the sick. i started to get over it around 4pm on a beautiful (so i heard) easter sunday. i haven't had a bad maggie hangover in quite awhile, and it's a good reminder of just how much my system wants to reject booze.
sigh.
anyhoo, good sopranos ep last night, eh?
lesson: too much drinking leads to the sick, and also drunken brawls with your brother-in-law.

wed-ding announcement

my parents announced our wedding in our local newspaper in WV....we have no idea when or where this photo was taken.
also, we stared a wedding blog!

another audition

here's the video that me and tom made to audition for the devil-ettes.

"Are you crazy about dancing? Do you enjoy dressing
up and putting on sparkly makeup? Are you hard-workin', upbeat, fun, wacky, and an all-around groovy girlie?? Then we want YOU to... AUDITION for THE DEVIL-ETTES!

The Devil-Ettes are having their first auditions in two years and we're looking for 2 fabulous go-go girls to join us.

Wait a sec, who are the Devil-Ettes??

Holy smokes, where have you been hiding? Well, in case you haven't heard, we're San Francisco's one-and-only synchronized go-go dance troupe! We've been described as the Rock-n-Roll Rockettes…Kitchsy, Campy, Retro Cuties… and San Francisco's Sweethearts! We've performed in Las Vegas, New Orleans, Los Angeles and of course all over the Bay Area. We LOVE all ladies... big, small, straight, queer, any age. We dance primarily to upbeat/rare tunes from the 50s-60s."

birthday girl!

happy birthday drea! i love you!

le bien et le mal

good news: i'm doing the rock opera. unfortunately isabel is not choreographing, and artface is not producing. i'm a little wary of what the final product will be like, but know the process will be kick-ass for vocals and super fun.

i tried out for rawdance saturday....aaaannnnddd........let's just say that i shouldn't have such high expectations of myself. i think ryan and wendy are great, and i would love to work with them....i don't think i did a very good job though. sigh.
