Kevin Bacon inspired this post

Listening to: Through the Looking Glass Audiobook by Lewis Carroll
Currently drinking: Triple tall caramel sauce mocha... they ran out of pumpkin spice =C

Gotta love having roommates. After deciding to be free of emotional relationship burdens for the time being and planning to set off on new adventures, I am also allowing my lovely roomies, and new Seattle friends, to introduce me to new awesome things :D So, Monday I am going to try my hand at rock climbing at this place. I've always kind of avoided climbing because the last time I went (when I was about 11), I ended up sore and trembling for days... Shaina has a serious lack of upper body strength (though I've heard it's all mostly lower body). I also found an amazing little dance studio right around the corner from my house and have decided to enroll in the classical ballet and modern classes. Miss Wood, friend from much earlier posts, also linked me to this awesome blog which has inspired me to try even more fun little things I wouldn't normally think of to try (i.e. being a spy or making my own dress). With a little self reflection, I've come to realize that I have been ignoring all of the artsy, fun, creative things I love to do in lieu of trying to talk my way into emotional well being. Sometimes you just gotta dance it out... cue Kevin Bacon...

I've always been a mixture of things: artsy, athletic, fun loving and caring, yet individual and driven... and it's always left me feeling somewhere stuck in the middle somehow, but maybe, just maybe, this concotion of ecclectic interests and strange loves adds up to be some sort of awesome super being that will never be closed off to trying new things...I hope. PS anyone have any good book suggestions? Aside from blogging, I plan on giving up my life online for a bit, and I am hoping to spend my nights off exploring in other worlds :)

Lattes of love <3
