Dance Dance Dance

Here are pictures from my American College Dance Festival trip and Inertia Dance Company's trip to Jonesboro, Arkansas.

These are the dancers in "Silencio en Nada" ("Silence for Nothing").

Again...

and again!

These are the dancers and choreographer of the piece "Sinistra".

Dancers of "Sinistra".

Missouri State dancers outside at the American College Dance Festival.

Waiting at Applebees for a table. Look close and you can see Ruth talking in the background. Doesn't she look deep in conversation:0)

With Jessica Stansfield in Jonesboro, Arkansas. We were with Inertia Dance Company teaching 3rd graders the fun they can have with movement.

Heather Ohmart and I at Jonesboro, Arkansas.

It has been a long time since I have updated because I have been so busy. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I wanted to show everyone some pictures of what I have been up to.

Which Sex and the City Character am I?

You scored 60% Carrie

Your answers peg you as a Carrie-type, much influenced by the Air Sign qualities associated with Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Like confident Carrie, you're curious and perceptive, always seeking answers and never satisfied with the superficial. An Air Sign influence can lead to indecision and an avoidance of tough issues, like with Carrie and her on-again, off-again attachment to Mr Big. Forward thinking, incredibly intelligent and witty, you exude quirky charm. You'd be utterly bored by someone who's just a pretty face or a hot body - though you don't mind looking and flirting. You're more turned on by an equally smart and funny mate, someone who challenges your mind and makes you laugh. You love to talk, so you need a good listener who's open to playful and eccentric ideas about love and lovemaking.

You scored 30% Charlotte

You're a romantic at heart, strongly influenced by the intuitive, profound and sometimes naive Water Signs - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. You're like a mother, a mystery and a poet all in one. Though on the surface you may seem innocent and all about seeking the good in people, beneath the surface, you hide secret yearnings for intimacy, for attachment and ideal love. You're looking for a knight in shining armour, a soul mate, someone who will complete you and tether you to the earth when you get carried away with your fantasies. You're super-sensitive, soaking up the moods of others; you're free with your emotions, crying at commercials and sad movies. You also provide a shoulder to cry on and open arms for hugs. Be careful that you're not so wide-eyed and trusting that you get taken in by some cunning wolf in sheep's clothing.

You scored 10% Samantha

You identify with Samantha's bold and liberated Fire Sign qualities, characteristics associated with the Signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. You're strong, audacious and larger than life - and you take what you want! Sometimes you can even be thoughtless and selfish, as you get so caught up in craving immediate gratification and excitement that you overlook someone else's feelings. Your personal style probably reflects your desires: sleek, low-cut, revealing just a bit more than might be considered acceptable. Watch out that you don't come on too strong, though. You could scare potential suitors off with all your drama. If you seek so much attention, the more basic qualities of the Fire Signs could be burned right out of the picture. Show less skin or cleavage and more of your creativity, your vibrant leadership skills and courageous generosity.
I thought that this was an interesting turn out!

I took the test and I am a... Progressive Girl

that is a hybrid with the... Granola Girl

Moderation in all things, excess in nothing.
-- Epicurus

Progressive Girl:

Imagine that the Girl Next Door moved to the big city. Think of Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally. She's America's sweetheart with an urban sensibility. She's a post-Christian spiritualist, a pre-Monica Clintonite, and a dues-paying member of at least one social-change organization like NOW, Planned Parenthood, or the Sierra Club. You won't find her at an Earth First or PETA meeting, though. Those are the Granola Girl's stomping grounds. Progressive Girls want the world to be a better place, but they live out their politics in a moderate, left-of-center way.

If you are going to date a Progressive Girl, the one sin you can commit is to be a chameleon. Molding your opinions to fit hers will lose her respect. One very positive thing you can do is offer her new experiences -- the Progressive Girl is fearless about trying new things. Whether it's pluralism, skydiving, Asian peanut sauce, or this book, the Progressive Girl is always looking for new ideas.

She Might Be a Progressive Girl if:

She drives: a small SUV but really wishes it got better mileage; once she can get a good hybrid, she will.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: just about anything.
She begins her sentences with: "Susan Sarandon says..."
She'd never: pass up the chance for a new experience.
She owns any of the following: a water filter, a tabletop fountain, an acre of rain forest, a mutt from the pound.

Granola Girl:

She's cooking salad for breakfast
She's got tofu the size of Texas
-- Beck, "Nitemare Hippy Girl"

Face it. You're going to have to go to eat tofu for this girl. But don't freak out. Tofu doesn't taste bad. It's just bean curd. In fact, tofu doesn't really taste like anything. It has the chameleon-like quality of taking on the flavor of whatever you mix it with; kind of like that spineless, sidekick friend who used to follow you around in high school, mindlessly adopting your opinions. Bad quality for a friend, good quality for a protein.

Plan on going vegetarian but be aware, vegetarians come in different stripes. There are lacto-vegetarians, who will eat dairy, and lacto-ovos, who include eggs in their diet. Pesco-vegetarians allow fish, a choice that is common in Asian cultures, while pollo-vegetarians tolerate poultry. A vegan will not eat meat, fish, eggs, or any kind of dairy. Nor will she eat or use any product that was produced by an animal, including wool, leather, and honey (the bees are oppressed).

She Might Be a Granola Girl if:

She drives: a VW bus, a bicycle, or an electric car, or uses public transportation.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: hemp.
She begins her sentences with: "Ralph Nader says . . ."
She'd never: vote Republican.
She owns any of the following: a smudge stick, a tongue scraper, a compost bin, Dr. Bronner's soap (bulk size).
