Two words for you: booty bounce.
Okay, two more: Alvin Ailey.
And two more, cause this is really quite fun: samba class.
My friend texts me this afternoon, asking if I’d like to go with her and another friend to samba class at Alvin Ailey.
Um, hello.
Who can say no to that?
It did mean that I played hooky during my capoeira class tonight, but guys–the samba class was amazing. Live drummers, wall to wall people (which actually wasn’t so much fun; most of the time it felt like they were all in my way. Selfish of me, but I am a dancer who likes to MOVE), and our teacher was this tiny little Brazilian dynamite woman in a unitard.
I really loved it.
Like, so much.
I might have to go back.
Like, so much.
I think I could happily be Brazilian. I mean, I think I love capoeira and samba that much.
After class, I was starving. All that booty bouncing and shimmying and fast, fancy footwork leaves one good and hungry, you know. So my friend and I went to Goodburger. Which is where this guy asks me my name. But not really politely–more like, “Hey girl, what’s your name?” You know, trying to turn the mac on. And I’m getting better, cause when he asked me, all I said was, “Ohhhhhhhhhh.”
Literally.
I said no more than that.
I was kind of proud of myself, realizing that just cause some random guy asks me my name, does not mean that I have to give it to him. I don’t need to give anything away that I do not feel like giving away–not even my name.
So the awkward, “Ohhhhhhhhh…” really seemed to kind of work.
Or maybe he thought I was slightly deranged.
But I guess not, cause then he asked me if I come here often. Here being Goodburger.
That’s right, Goodburger.
I was just like, “Um, no.”
He told me that he did (is that supposed to impress me?!) and that I should start coming more often.
To Goodburger.
I think I’d rather spend my time doing samba and capoeira, thankyouverymuch.
I think I’d rather people tell me that they can tell I’ve been spending my time doing samba and capoeira than at Goodburger, to be perfectly frank.

I am pretty sure that a guitar is maybe my best purchase I have ever made. This includes the recent maternity unitard that actually isn’t a maternity unitard that I acquired from Lululemon. And this also includes the shirt I just bought at a thrift store that was so perfect for my Halloween costume that I decided to overlook the fact that it is a maternity XL, pretty much the largest women’s shirt I could find, and will simply jerry-rig it to make it work, Tim Gun style.

Today looked like this. At least, a part of it did. The mall didn’t, though. That looked more like this awesome unitard that I bought on sale at Lululemon. Hanging on the rack, I could have sworn it was a maternity unitard. But after being convinced that it wasn’t (because really, how many pregnant women [...]
