me: how old am i?
dad: 20
me: -.-
english lessons
dad: how do you put fuck into leave me alone? like leave me alone fuck or leave fuck me alone?
me: (lollin) it's leave me the fuck alone
dad: so it's "the fuck" you have to put it before the last word right? like get the fuck out and shut the fuck up
me: (super lollin)i guess so
dad: what about i want to kill you? i want to kill the fuck you? that doesn't sound right
me: (rofflin) well you're modifying kill this time so you need to use a gerund so it's i want to fucking kill you
dad: oh. see it's so easy to take language for granted! like chris rock, he uses fuck, shit, what the fuck, motherfuck, in all his sentences and it is so smooth

back to school in less than a week…both anticipating and dreading it.
anticipating it because i’m eager to get my life moving again…dreading it because i don’t know if i want to deal with the former’s consequences. i can feel another extremely busy semester in my bones and it scares me like none other.
had a funky dream this morning about taking AP tests without...

"The thing is, nothing he taught me involved raw brainpower. The more I learned the more I realized that the bulk of his intelligence and his performance just came from study and practice, and that the had amassed a large artillery of intellectual and mathematical tools that he had learned and trained to call upon. He showed me some of those tools, but what I really ended up learning was how to go...

diseases
me: what's gons studying? hodgkinson's?
mom: no it's huckingson's
me: what's huckingson's - you mean hutchinson's?
dad: no not hutchingson's, it's parkinson's

new years stuff
2011…started off the year injured (knee), ending the year injured (wrist, knee in late recovery period). It was a good year though. Had rough but important experiences, and hopefully I’ve grown from them. Finally broke into the top16 at two jams (well…I tied for 16th at one, and was knocked to 17th, but still…). I guess dance-wise I improved a lot…no multiple...

quantum life
one of the major ideas of quantum physics is indeterminacy, or that particles are never really anywhere. nothing is in a precise location until measurement, in which we compel a particle to take on a definite value.
though i’m not on an atomic level, unless i try i’ll never know. and perhaps all i need to do is design the right experiment.

mixed feelings about this.
on one hand, I’m kinda like “yeah, gay community, stick it to her!”
on the other hand I’m kinda like…come on, she was just publicly humiliated, lost her job, the trust of her family, and now you guys are rubbing it in? not cool.
5/8
Right now it’s 9:18 AM. I haven’t slept, as usual before I take flights. My plane is at 1230; boarding is around noon. I will leave Boston for winter break for (perhaps) the 3rd and penultimate time.
The end of semesters always make me feel a little sad. My usual poison: 1 part academic failure, 1 part passage of time, occasionally a dash of heartbreak.
However, this time...

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...

me: you know me too well
little lu: that's disgusting
day 6
unfurling my wings
charcoal
feeling totally burnt out.
how much do you want it?
not enough.
day 4
practicing is actually kind of hard because i don’t have the discipline to sit and work on a move for like an hour. there’s just so many moves and things to work on that i get bored trying to just work on one move and i end up trying like 10 different things in an hour…probably why i progress so slowly.
however, i feel like i’m coming up with at least one new thing so...
day 3
still grinding. at least i can do a little PT on my knee. not seeing too much practice time in the coming week, but hopefully i can sneak in a few hours here and there…
day 2
not being able to use my leg is really hard…not only do i have to be very careful about putting pressure on it/how i’m using it, but also i’ve effectively sealed off 80% of my movements.
a long road ahead of me, but can’t wait for the final destination…hopefully this experience will expand my style and then when i can merge it back with my original style in january,...
once again
must learn how to dance without my feet touching the ground.
gotta evolve past a broken wing
sealing my footwork until january. it’ll be a hard three months, but i’m excited to see where this takes me!
just one of those nights
don’t really feel like sleeping, but would probably pass out in an instant if i let myself…

dance dance dance
today i went to a house workshop taught by Ja Ja of Phunk Phenomenon and a bboy workshop taught by Instant Noodles.
Long story short, house is fucking hard and tiring…i feel like my whole impression of house just got flipped. it’s super fun though and Ja Ja said some really deep things about dance…unfortunately i kind of forgot them, but they were something along the lines of...

it’s so crazy to think that this time last year we had just finished ONE.
life was so different…
two tests of courage today…i think i did adequately enough but we’ll see…
also, maybe it’s time to come back to the blogosphere? i’ve kind of been out of it for a while, but it’s nice to just sit down and write vague meaningless thoughts to an...
