But before you call an ambulance to come check my pulse, I'll clarify that I'm not quitting pole dancing itself

I'm still going to practices and I'm buying a pole for my living room to "study" on my own, but I'm done with the classes. Apart from the fact that the last two levels have been less than challenging and I could probably teach my instructors, there's the fact that both my friends have had to quit in recent months due to scheduling conflict/injury. Classes...

Ive felt so many strange things since the aftermath of what happened. It's a foreign thing to me and I don't like it. I usually bounce right back from things and I've been through many things.. but I keep getting strange moods that come in waves. I get moments where I actually feel low That's not me at all. I'm sleeping through the night now, but I still have dreams about it. In one, he was standing on the other side of the front door, staring at me. He couldn't get in, but he wouldn't go...

This is just a little personal, but I was assaulted and almost raped tonight by a guy who followed me into the lobby of my new building. I always try to be aware of my surroundings, but this just shows that you can never be too careful.

I was just driven home by the police and am in shock. Don't know what else to say. Please be careful.

..I've been taking pole dancing lessons for the past 10 months. It's true. I've been a bit shy about it, which is why I haven't mentioned until now


I started level 5 yesterday and finally managed to do the Butterfly, which I've been working at for months. It starts with a basic invert, followed by the tricky "split grip" and pushing your body away from the pole while hooking on with one leg. It looks like this:
...

As opposed to drunken, booty-shakin' pole-posing. This is the stuff I've been blabbing about for months.





We played until midnight and I limped to work today. Oh, and have some wicked pole burn. Ouch.

How about that shirt?

Halfway through level 4 - My thighs and my arms burned for three days after last Tuesday's class Awesome. The basic upside-down mount is coming easily now, and I've even managed to go upside-down with platform heels on. They're heavier than you realize, lol.

So to recap my goals thus far: master the basic spins like the Fireman, then the more advanced Diamond, then the Corkscrew, then the basic-upside down, and now sliding down with no hands. Check to all. Next goal? The...

Never a dull moment around here..

I came home after a busy Monday, tired and ready for a bit of couch time. Alas, I also came home to a sick kitty, so off to the emergency vet we went, waited, waited, waited, got in, got tests started, meds prescribed, and a treatment estimate done up. $450 later, I have a healthy kitty again, but the dust hasn't quite settled and there may be more costs involved. I think I didn't get home or eat until after 11. I could've just got a goldfish, but...

I did two things I'd been meaning to do for a while, but just hadn't got around to.

I purged myself of this poisonous game. Again. We're all human beings living with pain, sometimes simmering below the surface, threatening to boil over at any time. That doesn't give you the right to use and discard people, leaving them in your wake, off to the next one who will distract you from your own. I made my mistake of letting you back in. I paid for it. I'm done.

I also finally...

I know they're dark and you can't see much. If you don't like it, bite me

Ok, so this is more along the lines of drunken booty-shaking than actual pole-dancing, but I promised pics, so here you go. The pole was harder to grip on than the proper brass poles( ) that we train on, so I couldn't really do any fancy acrobatics. I did, however, manage to flip upside-down a couple times with an extra push from my friend who was also kind enough to hold the hem of my dress in place There may be a clip of that floating around somewhere among my friends.....

lol..


Final class of level 3 tonight: I went upside down on the pole I did it last weekend at a practice session, but it was with the help of an instructor. I managed to get up there about half a dozen times on my own tonight I kept at it and kept at it until suddenly my right ankle caught the pole and hooked on. I freaked out and squealed a girly squeal as I managed to get my left ankle up and around the other side and then slooooowly slid down....

I just learned from my mom that my little brother was swarmed and beat up by a group of 6 punk ass bitches not far from his school. They roughed him up pretty well, punched him repeatedly in the head and broke his nose. He was covered in blood and shaken up, but he's going to be ok.

He's also 17 now and not really my baby brother anymore, but I changed his diapers, damnit. So yeah, he's still my baby brother.

I want to fly home and sort them out. All 6 of them,...

My puppy isn't a puppy anymore!

Happy 1st Birfday to my little man!!
