Looks like I'm better at updating my twitter than I am at updating here. So heading over to misshanbb is the safest bet to find out what's happening in my life atm, I'm afraid. Will still post here occasionally and I regularly - pretty much every day - check my flist and stuff, so I ain't disappearing from LJ. lol

I had some computer issues a couple days back - like I got a Trojan horse in and everything. So I couldn't get online for like three days. I didn't like die or anything, but it bummed me out.

Buuut I got to read like three books, so I was kinda okay with that. lol Over the weekend Jess was here - and then the three days after she left - I managed to read five books. FIVE! In a WEEK! lol Let's just say I haven't read that much since I was like fifteen and completely into all my fantasy series. Heeh.

Something I thought was really cool was that I saw Miley's "Party In the USA" video on a Swedish music channel the other day. Which was really cool, I haven't seen anything from any DC star on Swedish TV so it was neat. And then on this Swedish music competition program Demi and Selena's "One and the Same" was playing in the background. Major squeeage. lol I don't know, I just thought it was super cool. Not to mention the JB song a store played in their PA when Jess was here in Stockholm! Grated, it was like "Poor Unfortunate Souls" or something around that era, but it was JB! Woo.

Sunday/Monday/Tuesday this week I barely thought of anything but the Clumsy Cuddlers' 200th thread on fanforum. I dibs'ed on doing the opening post(s), and when my computer decided not to play in the days leading up to the 200th, I was freaking out a little. But I did all the graphics, coding, layouting, text and everything in three days and I was sooo touched when all the girls were gushing over it (even when I was like fifteen minutes behind schedule in opening the 200th thread - stupid coding! lol). My precious girls! It turned out both better and worse than I expected... Crazy thing is I totally dibs'ed doing the 300th too - which we were discussing even before we'd gone through the 200th thread! lol Crazy girls. I love them so much.

Anyway...

Yesterday we had another one of those "evaluation talks" (*snort*) with my dance group. It went really great, I was kind of afraid they (my teachers, that is) would say some not-so-good things since I probably haven't gotten back to the same level of dancing as before I injured my knee, but they were really great. They were super supportive. They were like "You got so many great qualities about you, you have such a strong foundation for being a dancer. You don't have to worry about technique or choreography as much as some of the girls, it never looks wrong when you dance. You always know what to do, we see that you know what you should do, even if you can't do it. You're always present, mentally and physically, and you always try. You work hard and you try". So that was really sweet of them.

They basically had only one bad thing to say, and that wasn't even a bad thing, it was more like a thing they said would improve me - personally and in my dancing. Of course, it's my weight, but I knew that already. Neither of my teachers aren't these stick-thin men, they're a little above average sized men - perhaps not in height, but in weight - so they know what I mean when I say that I struggle with my weight and all. But they were like "This would be for yourself, because it's just that little that's missing, and being a few pounds lighter would bring you so much closer to nailing jumps" and I agree with them, it would. So I told them about my little goals I set for myself and they were really supportive of that as well.

But I think my biggest supporters for that were my dance girls. They are just so amazing. I told them about my goals and that I wanted to lose weight and that I wanted some support from them - like if they saw a change in me, they'd comment on it - and they just went above and beyond that. They were so supportive and like "Of course we'll be your support system, absolutely". And one of the girls, Jo, she was so pumped about it she even said she'd be my personal trainer. Like, she wants to be in that field so she was like "I'll put up a plan for you, for exercising and meals and stuff". She's so awesome. So now I have this great, big THING where I'll report weekly to her about what I did and if I didn't do my daily excersize she's scheduling me to do, I'll get a punishment and everything. She even talked me into setting up a training blog where I'll talk about it that all the girls will follow.

Maybe it's a little overkill, but I just love Jo so much that she even wanted to do this for me. Jo who works part-time, studies part-time, trains girls in gymnasics five times a week, has her own dance twice a week AND recently took on teaching a dance class every week. Bless her heart. She barely has time as is and she wants to do this for me. I love her.

Yeah...

See - I had a lot to say! lol Anyway, I need to go make some phonecalls.

I suck at updating, I know that. I do have things to say now, but as per usual, I time my boredom and subsequent wish to update LJ with when I don't have enough time to post - off to dance in twenty minutes. Not dance as in my dance, but dance as in the-thing-I-go-to-in-preparation-of-my-becoming-a-dance-teacher. Yeah, that dance. Heeh.
