What Else is There to Do?

So, it's the night before the big 10 day tour of Northern California and the surrounding area. What does this mean? Basically it means dancing for 10 days straight...more or less...and hoping that legs, arms, other semi-important limbs don't lose feeling or become engorged with pain. Yes, engorged. And how does one prepare for this amazing extravaganza of almost biblical proportions???

By not sleeping.

Yes, Faithful readers, you are well aware about the fact that Sleep and I haven't been able to make our troubled relationship work. More to the point, SLEEP hasn't been able to get her act together and forgive me. So in reality, it's all sleep's fault. I've TRIED making peace with her...but NOOOO...she's just too stubborn. Well, tonight I've decided that i'm just going to let sleep be alone tonight, and see how much she likes it. And trust me, she'll come crawling back...either that or the divorce will be finalized...Hm...with sleep and I fighting so much this might make for a very interesting trip.

-SLEEP HATE-

But i am excited for this trip, despite the fact that sleep and I don't see eye to eye. And even though i'll be missing 10 days of school, i'm at peace...because I know that at least I won't be the only one who will be suffering from "post-tour stress and catch-up" or PTSACU! Yes, another rather violent acronym when said together. (See previous blog about assumptions).

But, of course sleep deprivation and stress always makes one extremely cranky. But, i vow to be a completely lovely and joyful person on this tour...well...maybe...engh....no. Pfft, why should i be happy. I'll leave that to those who never let anything get them down. Oh and by the way people who are constantly happy: I HOPE YOU STAY HAPPY! STAY HAPPY DESPITE ALL THE DEPRESSING FACTS OF LIFE! JUST TRY AND STAY HAPPY! I DARE YOU!

Ha, now all the spiteful happy people will be depressed...-evil laugh-

So, it's off to Northern California. It's off to 10 days of dancing. It's off to making new friends and getting to know a group of people so well that i'll forget what it's like not be with them all the time. It's going to be great! AND I'M EXCITED! (And i'll try and work out my issues with sleep...i'm currently getting the silent treatment...cold shoulder isn't going to work, sleep...so don't try!)

More to come,

It's Time to Dust this Blog Off

You know it's sad, when you have to "remove dust" off a blog simply because you haven't posted in 2 weeks...when I just didn't have time to sit down and write about my life. But let me recap the past two weeks as condensed as possible.

1. Idaho...it's cold...music mishaps...good food...nice families...boring bus ride. FOLK DANCE!

2. mid-terms...still happening...never-ending...one made me laugh.

3. FOLK DANCE (gala)...funny...skit...best thing of the night...should of won...PAC cheated (just kidding)

4. AUTOGRAPHS...from my profs...they look different at close proximity... I think that's why they like being so far away from their students....

5. Fixing the choreography to a dance that was supposed to be done a month ago...YES!

6. DIVINE COMEDY! SUPER FUNNY! Got to know some friends/friend better...and old friends came out of the woodwork

7. New shows...new music...new ipod cable...university bookstore is overpriced...

8. Confused a group of individuals on how to do a new style of dance...but they caught on pretty quick...FOLK DANCE!

9. Discovered that I don't have school next monday...

10. Found on that Preference is a Utah thing...and that I still don't fully understand it.

So that was my week, but that's not really why i'm blogging...because there is a much more pressing issue coming our way. There is a serious problem that is currently plaguing the western world. It's a threat to humanity, and is something that has only now decided to rear it's ugly head ONLY because most of the population in said Western World is bored by winter...

It's Love.

Or rather, a misguided idea of Love, simply because it has been implied by a mysterious societal holiday/celebration.

Valentine's Day. The day to encourage heartfelt emotions, passionate convictions, and potential increases in the Human Species. And let me tell you, this university is no different. Couples have been sprouting up like the non-existent weeds that are only growing back home...and trust me...they are all over each other.

If there were ever a holiday to make those in the single community uncomfortable with there primarily satisfying existence, this would be it. Valentine's Day divides everyone into two groups: Single or Couple. And since this divide is extremely obvious, Valentine's Day only make the gap wider. Thus, the single community disregards the gushing holiday and instead focuses on: SINGLE AWARENESS DAY (SAD). I am full supporter of Single Awareness Day. Everyone should celebrate it. EMBRACE THE SINGLENESS! LOVE IT! Your only single once, so don't waste it!

But, i'm not worried. Couples come and couples go, I mean, by mid-march all these Valentine's Day Couples will have either died out, quieted down, or at the very least disappear down the same hole they crawled out of. But nevertheless, there is a lesson from this holiday: NEVER EVER TAKE YOUR SINGLE STATUS FOR GRANTED (Because you never know when it might be taken away!).
