Sock Hop

[shanmonster]

During my breaks, I dance in my sock feet in the building's lunch room. I get very peculiar glances from passers by.

I'm making a bit of headway with Amir's combination. I think I'm doing it right, although it's difficult to practice without music. As soon as I try it with music, I'll know if I'm leaving something out, because the combo works with 4:4 music. I've tried adding a bit of another combo, inspired by Tarik. It's a snappy, boppy, high-cardio bit of dance, and I'm adding the high-speed spin bit from the Hakim "Ya Ho" choreography. I think they suit one another quite nicely.

Now, I just have to get my body to memorize the sequence so I can use it in performance!

It feels more jazzy and skeletal than internal and raqs sharqilicious. I wonder if I'll be able to add poi to it? It would be very, very tricky, if it is possible. We shall see. First things first, I must get the timing right for my footwork. Then, and only then, can I gussy it up with layering.

....

In other news, I had a particularly Freudian dream.

I am on a plain, and ahead of me is an enormous hole in the ground. As I get closer, I see it is actually a vulva. The labia are gigantic, and although I'm absolutely perturbed at the thoughts of it, I know I must wrestle my way past them and go down through the vagina.

So I clamber in, push all the folds aside, and begin slithering my way down, down, down, deep within the ground. At first, there is light, but as I burrow deeper inside, I'm overwhelmed by a velvety blackness. I keep sliding deeper and deeper, and a gush of liquid blasts by me. I keep going, and find myself deep within a Fallopian tube. It pulsates with faint phosporescent light.

Then I wake up.

Buh?

You know the common dream where you wake up just short of dying? You just had the exact opposite dream ;)

Nah, the opposite isn't until she's on her way out. :P

Actually what I had in mind was that it was a birth in reverse. She got as far as the fallopian tubes, which is where conception takes place, so if she continued going back in time she would be unconceived and cease to exist. Just like how you wake up just before you die, you would logically wake up before you're unconceived too ;)

Yep, that's how I'd read it. Good one. ;-)
