This was my first play in a while, and I really enjoyed it. I guess there is something about live theatre that's captivating. So, I may go back for more. Thursday nights are either indoor soccer or my dosage of "culture" - which is usually a symphony orchestra. Not to mention that tickets are really cheap - $12, and one time I even got into a symphony orchestra with a really great guest violin soloist for just $6. I was reminded of my fondness of the orchestra at a school concert I went to in Singapore. I was never in band, but I loved listening to people play. There is just something magical about being able to create music.
So, I haven't written in a while. And although I've been busy, I kinda think about what I would like to write / discuss. It's just taken more time to sit down and write. Too many distractions... :p But thanks for checking back.
SO, what has happened lately in my life. Just the usual, keeping busy... Starting to think about after graduation stuff, and I should start applying for jobs soon. I think that Con and I are ready to start practicing our squash stuff. First, we need to get us some starter rackets. Belly dancing is going alright, I still feel weird and awkward, even though my instructor makes it look really easy and good. I'm working on it. But it's definitely a lot of fun, and makes me feel very feminine and sensual (when I do it right - the easier steps, that is) Rock climbing and CN Tower climb was last weekend! A LOT of fun, and I will definitely do them both again! And of course, one of the climaxes of this term: shopping in Buffalo this weekend. I've been busy researching on my potential boot purchases. I want a flat boot, preferably something more casual, but not too casual. Something that I can be comfortable and warm in, yet, not look like a bum, and MAYBE even somewhat stylish. Yes, its a challenge, but like I said, I've been doing my research.
It's going to be my anniversary soon. One year with just me, and myself. It's strange how time flies, and it doesn't even seem like it's been a whole year. But it has. It's funny the way things start, the way things end, and how new things start. For instance, I'm swimming on a somewhat regular basis now. And you know how it started? It started by me trying it for what may not be the best reasons back in third year (hehe...) but in the end, here I am, averaging about 15 laps of front crawl and I'm feeling less and less tired after each time ( I think I can definitely make it 20 now) when I hit the pool. I enjoy it, and I'm exercising, so, it's all good. I took salsa lessons cuz a friend asked if I wanted to take dance lessons, and I really like it and had a lot fo fun (even though I don't think my salsa skills have improved much, but my confidence has). I tried dragon boating cuz another friend needed girls on her team, and although I'm not much of a rower, I sure had a great time. Now its the same with squash and bellydancing. Just trying new things. So these are the things that I will be toasting to when Con and I go out for dinner to celebrate my anniversary. I guess it's to celebrate to new beginnings. Cuz sometimes, that's all you can do, when all that you thought you knew, really isn't.
I think I want to get a pet. I love dogs. This is Caeser. He's is one of the cutest and sweetest dogs I know. Even though he is huge, he's such a sweetie and such a gentleman. He's old now, 11 years old. Yes, I'm going to show him off here.
Lyrics for today, one of my favourite songs, and I really like the original but also the remix by David Usher.
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
