hoooop II

i'm totally ecstatic after the second hoop class. i feel really inspired and ready to be in my body again. yay!! i feel so much clearer and right with the world. i'm all giddy and giggly tonight.

i had a wonderful conversation with the mother of the woman who is teaching the class, as we shared a cab. halfway through an enthusiastic soliloquy about omega, community, and burning man, i left my body and looked on at myself, happy, talking about things that really matter to me. dropping the self judgement and just being excited about life and good things in the world. pure self. there is some pureness in these last two days.

on a related note i have nearly finished gathering all the things together for my new college application for the fall. i still need to write my 'personal statement' which is, of course, the hardest part.

also today, i sat with molly at ritual. she gave me the amazing beautiful scarf she made for me in return for a reading, and we discussed some heavy topics. i only just got to know her and she's moving away, but that's ok too, i respect the fleetingness of the world.

i was just experience glee about this post on the hooping.org blog. it addresses the issues that can come up when you're hooping topless with nipple piercings. niche advice for a special brand of freaks. i love that there are enough people in the world that might have nipple piercings and hoop topless that this post's advice needed to be disseminated.

boing!

i want to take some kind of stretching or dance class so that i can get stronger and more flexible so that i can do some of the crazy hoop tricks that require bending crazily. but i don't know how.. i feel like i need a ballet or modern dance class but those sound too intimidating. maybe contact improv or something like that? suggestions welcome.

doot de doo, sorry for all of you who could give a shit less about hooping.

time to eat cookies and read harry potter in bed. awww yeah. life is grand.
