Obsession Confession

So, it's been more than a month--but now I have a TEENY bit more time on my hands so I will be updating more frequently, because, truth be told, I really love my blog.

Some of you may know about a little obsession I have with dance. I go to as many performances as possible; I go to see all the cheesy dance movies; I rewind and watch dance scenes dozens of times (I'm looking at you, Dirty Dancing finale), and I watch So You Think You Can Dance loyally. My favorite styles are hip-hop, lyrical hip-hop, contemporary, krump, swing and ballet.

Here are my favorite two dances of the So You Think You Can Dance season so far. I just needed to have them in one place so I can watch them, obsessively, over and over again. The first is hip-hop with Chelsea and Mark; the second is hip-hop with Katee and Joshua. Both routines are choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon.

Reason Why I Love Kate No. 4,682

Me: Hey!
Kate: Hi, I have a question and I can't seem to do this by myself.
Me (growing worried): Why? What? What's wrong?
Kate: (sighs) I have been searching for the perfect bathrobe. Which has been like a month-long journey so far.
Me: A . . . bathrobe?
Kate: Yes, a bathrobe. And I think I found one but now I can't decide which color to get.
Me: You're telling me the sole reason for this phone call is to help you decide what color bathrobe to buy?
Kate: . . . Yes.

Oh How I Love My Sushi

Lunch with Kim in Portland.

I could eat it forever.

The Fab Four

A photo circa 1998 or so with my three best gals at Lock Haven University, where I went to school for the first two years of my college career, before transferring to UAlbany. From left to right, that's Amie, Meghan, me and Beef--we did practically everything together. This was taken during one of our many "let's just drive and see where we end up" kind of trips. Fun times!

Urban Jungle

This is how kids on my block play basketball. The bottom of the milk crate is not cut out; hence the ladder standing nearby.

McEntire Hall Circa 1998-1999

An old college friend of mine, JP, posted this picture on his MySpace page. It was taken in his dorm room in McEntire Hall at Lock Haven University. Hysterical!
