I love the fact that friends everywhere are making movies. I wanna make movies too!
Maybe I'll go out in the 2-inches-and-falling snow we have today and take pictures. Only instead of interesting cityscape I have the rolling foothills and instead of a dog I have my 4 padawans! ...er, I'm not so sure anyone would be interested in that movie. Hmm.
I love to dress up and I do it fairly often because I work in a fun boutique downtown. My boss likes how I dress even though sometimes I am quirky, I admit. Like last Sunday when Eve had a little holiday sale, for example.
I got dressed, put on makeup and came from the bedroom ready for work.
"Wardrobe Consultation, if you please!" I chirped, stepping between Jme and Fareed Zakaria GPS, one of our regular Sunday morning TV shows. I turned a few times, spreading my arms out, so he could see what I was wearing. Black mini, heavy white tights, striped white & black & red sweater, ballet flats, and my hair up in a ponytail with a long white ribbon tied up in a bow.
Jme leaned back on the couch, evaluating the vision before him.
"Very cute, but, uh, you look like, ah, er... you kindda look like an ornament," he finished in a rush, wincing a little at having to say such a thing.
I quickly ran through all the possible connotations of 'looking like an ornament' while I stole his coffeecup and took a sip (EW how can anyone drink coffee so bitter and DARK! Manly men are crazy).
"That's absolutely perfect! Thank you, sweetheart," I said happily as I bounded back into the bedroom for my coat, gloves, scarf and purse.
I didn't see Jme roll his eyes or shake his head but he was smiling when I came back out to him.
Anyway, I wish I had more parties to go to where my friends and I could dress up and be glamorous. I wish I could spend long evenings dancing in velvet-hung rooms or eating and laughing in a candle-glow circle. I'm too busy working and going to school to make real friends with the fancy downtown drinking/party crowd who make a lifestyle out of this sort of thing - and plus I don't want that lifestyle, I just want to do it very once in a while (I couldn't really afford to hang out often having champagne at Suite200, anyway). It's more than a want, really - it's a longing. I suppose the best solution I have is to have more fancy parties myself? Anyway, I wish that I were in Stockholm this season - Sandra has gone to about 5 parties and she has a ton more to go! Look how wonderful:
I'll have to wait until late January, when I have access to the software on the school's computers, to think about making movies again. But maybe I should start planning now for that party, eh? You're invited, of course :)
