The Olympics Are Screwing Me Up! + My Current Thoughts and Hopes for the Future

Hey everyone!

I'm not even going to mention how much of a slacker I've been this time. Nope.

So even though the Olympics are long over, I'm still watching them. I've recorded them so I could see all the ice skating. I've watched so much ice skating that I've been choreographing figure skating routines to KPOP songs in my head instead of actual dances! I usually do crazy dances with moves I've never even attempted. But at least I dance. I've never even been ice skating before. Those routines won't work. But since they're over and I've been really slow in catching up, my mind has been back to dance, which is good.

So for Lent this year, in addition to giving up candy like I usually do, I was going to dance more. But of course, when I actually want to do something, stuff happens. I was finally really wanting to dance last weekend, but I woke up early Saturday morning with a really sore back. I'm sick of sleeping on the couch >:( I could barely move all day. Sunday was better but I was still in a lot of pain. After seeing the doctor on Monday it was getting better everyday, so I thought I'd be dancing this weekend. Well after a disappointing try for B.A.P. tickets on Friday I wound up staying over M's house. I planned on hanging with her most of yesterday, but I had a horrific migraine. See I had run out of the medication I take everyday last Sunday, and being the dummy I am, I hadn't yet scheduled an appointment with a new doctor to get more. So I've had one that never really went away since Thursday, and yesterday was the worst it has been. It physically hurt to open my eyes. Thank God I made it home safely. I slept for several hours yesterday afternoon, which helped a lot. Today I just lazed around a lot hoping to keep it from getting too bad. Thankfully I see the doctor this Wednesday, so hopefully I can get the medication and keep these migraines away so I can keep dancing!

I seriously need to finish Chocolate Love. Well, first I need to go over what I already learned, because I'm pretty sure I forgot the beginning :x I've also been really into learning some UKISS dances, SNSD's Mr. Mr., and even f(x)'s Chu lately. I'm not sure why I've been so into Chu again lately, but it's a cool dance. f(x) needs more love. I'm really hoping I LOVE DANCE teaches Mr. Mr. next month, and I REALLY hope they're planning to teach it in Manhattan. I'm still not really into the dance, but I like the song a lot, and I even have my outfit planned for the video.

Lately I've been toying with the idea of choosing a dance I want to learn right now instead of choosing randomly. I'd rather finish Chocolate Love first and then see what I want to do. I'd rather not learn two or more at once unless I'm also taking a class at ILD. I know I'd tried this before, but I didn't get very far with it and that's why I started the whole randomly pick thing, but maybe I could try again. I don't know. For now I'll just stick with Chocolate Love and see what I want to do after I finish that.

I've also been thinking a lot about the songs I want to choreograph dances for. I've recently added EXO's Let Out the Beast, since I've been starting to choreograph that one for a while now, and SHINee's A-yo. I'm still planning to do one big post on all the songs I want to do, so I'll get more in depth with that later, but I really wish I could get this off the ground. I don't have choreographing skills. I'd love to have someone work with me and help me out with it, but I don't know who to go with. I'd love to have someone work with me one on one (or even several people), but I can't afford to do that, because I wouldn't want them to do this for free. I *could* ask an old teacher I'm still in touch with, but she's a busy woman. I'm also still trying to get myself to check out a studio nearby to take classes again, but I can't just come in there and ask for this on top of that, so I'm stuck. I could ask them for tips but that's probably about it. But enough of that. I don't have the room for the ones that are already choreographed, let alone the ones that aren't. And this should be a happy topic. For once I actually like what I'm coming up with. I have teeny bits of Let Out the Beast choreographed, and by teeny I mean teeny. Not even lines done, just...words. But I actually like it for once. I'm not trying to make it look flashy and fill it with big, crazy moves, and I think that's why I actually like it. Hopefully I can keep it up and create something really great!

So that's it for now. It's getting late and if I don't stop now I'm just going to be rambling. I'll try not to wait a month before I post again!
