At long last.....

So, for those dweebs (i.e. 2/3 of my readership) who think that they're too good for facebook, here's a small sample of what could otherwise be found in a much more expansive album. Here, William, are the Renn Fayre pictures you've begged me for for the last 8 months.... sorry about the delay! Love, you and Merry Belated Christmas!! p.s. loved your Christmas mass email! I showed it to my whole family- it was a hit!

p.p.s (to those who have scrolled this far), is anyone else freaked out about the new facebook layout? It's trying to be blogspot #amiright?

My Netflix Recommendations

It was recently pointed out to me that my netflix recommendations are.... somewhat comical.  Let's take a quick look:

Right..... not 100% sure where this one came from... other than that most of my rated movies are children's movies. This is one of many categories aimed at 2-4 yr olds, 5-7 yr olds, 7-11 yr olds etc.....

Love 'em.

Love 'em.

Love 'em.

Again, not quite sure where they got this one, but I'm sure they're right.

This is %100 where I'm at all the time with my movies. All the time. Love 'em!!!

Same with this category!!!

Again with the children's movies. I watch a lot of them.

I picked between this one and "Emotional Space-Travel TV-Dramas".... I'm into Battlestar and the like.



Someone complained to me the other day about how many blogs there are with people just masturbating over how much they love themselves. I think that is exactly what this blog is. I love it.

It's the end of Finals Week

oh, thinking child slouched

                                                                                                                     stood  up to catch her balance

sat down sideways

elbow out                             

                                                                  if you find her 

                                                                                                   tread lightly     

even when her eyes are closed     -

Losing it.
The pictures are from Times Square last summer.


Edit: 2:37 pm the next day- this poem resonated a lot more with me after the all-nighter before my nap...

Before It Happens Again (Part 3)

Now, the next, and final, few are a progression. The first theme is "Crotch-Shot", but it goes into two or three pictures that I actually like (which I, for the most part, excluded in favor of the abundance of funny ones.)

I really wanna get my crotch as open to the audience as possible.

Pose 1

Pose 2

Pose 3 

 Pose 4

1/2 of Pose 5 

I'm the left most dancer leaping. 

I'm in the middle. 

OK, so that was fun! So, if you didn't catch Part 1 or Part 2, that's fun too. And I broke them up so it would be chewable portions. Or, lets say you're looking at the pics in the library and you're laughing so hard you need to step outside, there are good breaking points so that you can do that. 

Before It Happens Again (Part 2)

Now, in case you didn't know, this is part of a series and you might have missed Part 1 or Part 3. This is the best part though, so don't worry about it either way.

This series is an excerpt from a longer collection titled, "Simone Never Fully Learned the Dance":

 So I'll start with quickly slapping Allie... (seriously, you gotta click on all of these)

"What are you guys doing? I can't see!"

"Keep doin' what you're doin'. I'll just watch you."

 "Bam!" (I'm on the far right btw)

 I'm thinking 'monkey'.

 ...

 Just a quick butt wiggle...

... continuing to wiggle.

Yeah, you could say I got a comment like "you looked a little lost out there".... But whatever, I worked it.

Before It Happens Again! (Part 1)

So, the Winter Concert is going to happen next weekend. Maia and Dad are coming which is really exciting! Now, I would say 100% of my followers have seen me dance before, but for the billions of viewers who don't follow this blog, and haven't seen me dance, here is a little re-cap. Now, I don't feel bad posting a bunch of pics of just myself in the same way I would on facebook.  These pictures are from last Spring Concert, and I'm going to point out some themes:

This little sequence is one I'd like to call "Simone Falls Down for a lot of the Piece":

Center stage. 

(click on these to see the fun things my face does)

 (soo uncomfortable)

You guys keep dancing, I'm good down here.

Now here are two great action shots where you can tell I'm really trying to get some place:

What grace.

So, hold on tight, because there's a Part 2 (which is my personal favorite), and Part 3 (which is my least favorite, but obviously still really good.) And I just had a GREAT idea, which is, to do a true flashback series from some past dance performances... here's a sneak preview (but not THAT sneaky because it's also on facebook):
