::]:: Full Moon ::[::

Gorgeous night out tonight. I was actually thankful that I took the bus home tonight. It gave me a great excuse to watch the moon as I walked home. And there was no loud music or honking.. that I could tell .. it was just beautiful. And I was tired as I walked. I thought I wouldn't even be able to stay up long enough to type this all in but I'm inspired. How long has it been since I've fallen love? A few days .. seemingly weeks .. but I watched the moon walking with me and I fell in love and was so satisfied.

It was a great day today. First one in a long while, its almost unreal. Well, yeah considering it pretty much started with me in the bunny suit. I don't even want to go into it. I'm putting the stories on WH on the Banana thread. I'll create a link later. But outside of the bunny suit it was really nice talking to a bunch of ppl that really really like what they do. Dude, I thought walking around by myself was kinda neat. The enthusiasm and dedication that the ppl I got to work with pretty inspiring. I'm going to hire on a personal trainer .. to stretch me for one .. cause I think I need a bit more structure. Plus, let's be honest here and I'm not usually the type of girl to even say this, but I'm feeling like a cow. Just not healthy really. Though I guess I've been sickly the last few weeks. Any who...

Then a cab over to Cabrini Connections. Jeez.. This is going to be something else I can feel it. It's going to be amazing. I had a great first session with two student tonight. I'm really looking fwd to getting know the one student that has been assigned to me. I've so much to say about the experience. I'll just type more later. Oh special note: I bought the piece of artwork that I had the dream about!

Then the meeting for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. *sigh* I'm not at all the rockstar dancer I'd like to believe I am. I so have no memory for routine. But I'll bloody learn. I can't believe that I played a part in it happening *pat back* that's where I feel rockstar. It's going to be awesome and I will be helping Julee find costumes since I've such an open schedule.

Accountability. Your word. Responsibility. These things so important. These I know I'd lacked in the past that have let me blow grand opportunities like these I have now. Well things are different.

And I do have to mention this from Jtap. one. I got a good sniff tonight. Two.. there's a new hot barback with girlfriend so he's open game for flirting. Three... Partytom makes me feel like a princess. I swear every dance I've had with him as been both hilarious and enchanting. Its a weird mix I know but if you know Pt... its possible. And then I just read a recent swingdoc blog. My parents may not have been great examples of what I want out of a lifelong partnership. Tom and Kim are far better teachers of what I want. And not just in terms of a serious relationship but just as good human being that people admire.

The moon, and beauty, and friends, great dances, and whatever mefeiner was wearing tonight... made me think of this song. So many great vocalists have covered this tune but I'm still in the Roxy Music mode and so I hear Bryan Ferry's version:

These Foolish Things

Oh will you never let me be?
Oh will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us are still around us
There´s no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things
Remind me of you

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me, I somehow knew that this had to be
The winds of march that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings - but who´s to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Gardenia perfume lingering on a pillow
Wild strawberries only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The isle de france with all the girls around it
The beauty that is spring
These foolish things
Remind me of you

I know that this was bound to be
These things have haunted me
For you've entirely enchanted me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
First daffodils and long excited cables
And candlelight on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
The smile of garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange, how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
That seem to bring you so near to me
The scent of smouldering leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you, just you
