Have a very Patrick Swayze Christmas.

I need more lights.

There is a gigantic Christmas tree on top of one of the tall downtown buildings in Salt Lake City. This is one of my most poignant childhood memories. I wanted to put the star on the top of that tree by stacking ladder on top of ladder. Or maybe that is just what I want to do now.

I am quite fond of holding my precious things close and closer still.  The near and dear are a second skin, my secrets passwords to my psyche.

We have too many terrible Christmas songs. Did we ever get an accurate count to "Last Christmas" covers? Why is that the only thing I remember from that season?

I don’t believe we've had the pleasure in meeting one another... I'd shake your hand but I have jambalaya or lip gloss or sarcasm all over them. 

Oh Stanley K.

It's normally quite shiny...

Dear Chris,
I adore you and Christmas. Brace yourself for an excellent holiday break.
XOXO,

I'm on the web.

I have a website for my dance portfolio now! Check me out!

Feelin so fly, like a G3... like a G3...

I am really going to miss my school friends when we all graduate this coming Spring, and head out into the world, Masters of Fine Arts. Woot. A sad woot, indeed. I really will miss these people.

Jessica Peterson did an amazing photo shoot of my class this last September, which just proved the point that Graduate Students are obnoxiously beautiful (even me... maybe I can say that now... maybe it just feels just as weird as ever). Examples:
