thoughts

i feel like all of my posts are in list form, i guess that's just the way my mind works!! sorry if it gets annoying, to those of you who actually read this... anyhoodles...

• i miss my bestie natalie so much right now, we have such conflicting schedules and can never seem to hang out anymore! if you're reading this, here's a big hug from me
• i realised the other day that i spend almost 95% of the time that i am awake listening to music. never thought about it until now, but when i wake up i put the tunes on while i get ready, on my commute to the studio i have my ipod on, then i go and dance all day to music, sometimes i go to work and there's lots of music playing there constantly, on my way home i listen to my ipod again, when i get home i put on the tunes again.... i feel like i really can't live without it anymore.
• on the topic of music, i've been really into the shins, the strokes and the kooks lately (i've always been in love with the kooks, but just even more so at the mo)
• i really want to move to europe someday. but i love vancouver, i don't know if i could leave this city right now.
• february was such a miserably cold month, i'm really hoping for some springtime weather soon!sunshine and warm days hurry up!!
• actually, i am so excited for summer that i am contemplating making a spring/summer bucket list soon...

my current happy song

tiny dancer

         here's a picture of me dancing, from a little photoshoot me and my bff did almost two years ago! it's one of my favourite pictures i have of myself dancing, just because it shows how utterly happy i feel when i dance.

new years "resolutions"

so, like most people, every year i make new years resolutions but fail to keep them. this year i want to actually attempt to keep them!!! just for documenting's sake and to kind of ensure that i keep these in my mind (hopefully making it easier to keep these resolutions), i will list of my resolutions for this year:

• be healthier in general, and hopefully lose some weight. i realize that i am not fat nor do i really "need" to lose weight, but for my own personal happiness i would like to try. i will strive to make sure i always eat breakfast, eat more fruits and vegetables, fuel my body correctly for everyday because i dance so much, drink much more green tea, make sleep a priority, minimize my intake of simple carbs, sugars, bad fats and processed foods.
• keep my room clean more often. right now, 98% of the time my room is a mahusive mess and i intend to change that.
• don't let boys become a priority in my life. having someone is great, but i have bigger fish to fry and more important things to think about. if a guy comes into my life in 2012, fine, but i am not making it a priority as i have in the past.
• dedicate myself even more to my art form. i am a very dedicated person to ballet, but i want to strive to work even harder and keep making my dreams come true and reaching my goals. my ballet goals for 2012 are as follows: become more flexible, keep growing artistically, continue to fix the development and shape of my muscles, figure out where i would like to dance professionally and begin auditionning for companies.
• spend less money on frivolous things. i'm a girl, i get carried away a lot of the time.

that's all i can think of for now,
