On the subject of pet peeves and other things

Things that bother me, and why:
1. Small yappy dogs. Not sure why but I've never really been a fan. Cute when they belong to someone else but not when they're yours.

2. Small cars. This is a new dislike of mine--I finally put my finger on it today whilst spending 8 hours in a rental car to bring my littlest brother to camp. For one, I like to ride with my feet up on the dashboard--lets me stretch out my legs--in a small car, this is rather uncomfortable as the windshield is far too close and the dashboard far too high in comparison to the seat. Yes, I'm dancer and am quite flexible but it kind of defeats the purpose of being able to stretch out your legs when your knees are nearing your nose. Additionally, I've found that my feet just love to get tangled among themselves whilst trying to get out of the very low to the ground seat. I nearly killed myself in parking lots trying to get out of the car several times today. And, with my grandma hips and being at least 5'9'', I appreciate the extra leg room that a minivan or other similarly unfortunate vehicle affords.

3. Gel deodorant. I mean really? Am I supposed to wait until it dries before I put my shirt on? If you don't, isn't that like having pre-sweaty pits?

4. Non-jersey sheets. As an active sleeper, I need the extra friction. Not only does it help stop my sheets from tying themselves into knots, it also helps keep me in bed.



Anyways...spent today driving out to Western MA and back to leave the littlest bro at camp (littler bro is already there working). So I'm an only child for two weeks! woohoo!? I definitely plan on taking full advantage and livin' it up. I've already switched up the Netflix big time! And I had the whole weekend off from work--and no phonecalls at 6am asking if I could come in, it has been pretty nice. But I will be getting a nice big fat paycheck come Friday...that'll be nice.

Back to the grind (no pun intended...) tomorrow. Just working 3-6 though. Almost not worth the gas it'll take to get there--that only gets me $24+tips but -taxes. Definitely the sucky part about working a lame minimum wage job. Oh how I miss the sweetness of my job last summer! Then ballet class from 6:30-10 or so, assuming the hip will cooperate that long. Also planning on giving Kocher's office a ringy-dingy tomorrow to see if I've moved at all on the waiting list. I JUST WANT SURGERY DATE DARN IT!! The night before the surg, I'm totally planning on doing everything I'm not supposed to...like grand plies, grand battements, things over 45 degrees, passe/retire, using full turnout, and doing a full grand allegro--i'm such a bamf. haha. Considering I'm still struggling on remember which is my good leg and which is my bad (it's a challenge considering that right was bad for the past two years but now it's dear old lefty), I probably already do at least half those things without even realizing it until I get the dreaded pinch of death. I swear there's gotta be a leprechaun in there with a little dagger just stabbing me...f-ing leprechauns...

Really excited for Tuesday though--planning on taking class with a teacher I haven't seen in over 3 years. She hasn't seen me since the week before I injured myself. I can't believe it's been that long!
