I got to sleep in, then I was awakened by my phone ringing. It was an old male friend who at one point I was madly in love with, asking if I wanted to grab lunch. I DID want to grab lunch, but alas, I had promised Casey I would attend ballet with her, so I had to decline. Me and said boy made plans for Monday night instead. I'm a little curious as to why said male decided to call TODAY - but I'll pretend it is purely serendipitous.
Ballet class was the first time Casey and I had taken class TOGETHER with Batman. Before we arrived at the dance studio, we had agreed to be each other's Valentines - and grab lunch and cupcakes after class. Class was awkward, wonderful, torturous, and victorious all at the same time. Mainly, we danced fabulously, and Batman left twenty minutes early - feigning a limp - after he attempts at standing behind us and rapping failed to make us lose focus. Go us! HOWEVER, I can tell he is hurting. He has every right to be hurting, as one friend said "he made his bed and now he has to lie in it," but I still HATE seeing someone, ANYONE in pain due to my actions. It is, however, irrevocably clear that for me to live a productive life where I don't break down crying on a daily basis, I cannot have anymore contact with this "superhero," as his one true superpower is hurting me (and others who he claims to "love" as family, friends, or otherwise) - even when I'm not talking to or looking at him.
At any rate, Casey and I had a lovely lunch/cupcake outing. Then right before work, me and the French girl living with me conversed in French. It is so fabulous being able to practice another language! Now - I need to learn Norwegian and Korean. The Norwegian girl speaks perfect English, but the Korean girl speak hardly a word, but she is a BEAUTIFUL dancer and really sweet person.
I also finished reading the TWILIGHT series today. I can now move on from Vampires! WAHAY. It is nice to be able to understand what everyone is talking about when they say they are on "team Jacon" or "team Edward," but I am certainly ready to move on! I am considering for my next book to tackle, a book about the planetary committee and how they decided to downgrade Pluto from a planet. Though I myself do not excel in the sciences in a school setting, I do find them a fascinating topic. Plus, I like to alternate between fiction and non-fiction, so I can feel as though I am actually LEARNING not simply escaping.
I had dinner with Ferrip last night. He expressed interest in trying to compose the music for GIRAFFES CANT DANCE. Since I've not heard a whisper from the other compose, I sent him the latest draft. It was be awesome to work with him on the project! He began NYU as a piano major, and has nearly identical music tastes to me, so it could be a really fabulous partnership.
No progress has been made on Macbeth, other than fantasizing in my head. Hey, that's where Richard Chess began, so it isn't necessarily bad, just feels rather unproductive. The bottom line is NOTHING can happen without money, and that is not really in existence for me at the moment. The economy is doing so poorly that people aren't throwing their money at unknown/ emerging artists. However, no army can stop an idea whose time has come, so I suppose I shall keep endeavouring to persevere. I interviewed to be an usher at Lincoln Center, that was I can actually make some money of my own AND watch/ listen to beautiful symphonies on a nightly basis - which would be amazing! So here's to hoping.
And here's to hoping that I soon accept the sweeter side of this bitter sweetly ironic Valentine's day! I love my friends - they are incredible!
