I want.

I am eternally jealous of the beautiful gay couples that seem to be everywhere lately.

Right on.

So do you wanna sit at my table?
My fighting fame is fabled.
And fortune finds me fit and able.

And you do say, oh oh,
that you do pray.
oh, oh-
and you say that you're okay.

If I had to describe the perfect dancer,

I'd show you this video of Lauren Froderman.

She just has so much SOUL.
Plus, there's the whole she's fucking amazing thing too.

She's also a constant reminder to me to not get on my high horse of "I have this person figured out."
I DESPISED LoFro, because I thought she was just another pretty girl like Kherington Payne, good technique but nothing beneath it.
Plus I was pissed she got a spot and Kaitlyn Conley (and Bridget Krouse) didn't. I mean, COME ON.

But she's phenomenal and she won the show. And truthfully even if she didn't have the incredible technique she does, she really does have her own unique way of connecting to each piece she dances. It's fantastic. I'm so impressed every time I watch her.

So bottom line, Lauren Froderman can dance her ass off and if you don't like it when I blog dance then this was of no use to you.

Lindsey Byrnes interviewed by AfterEllen

AE: Is there anything that you want people to know about you as a person, photographer, artist, etc?

LB: That is a great question. Of course there are a million things I want you to know about me, if it means you will like me more. Truthfully, I am just like any other insecure artist-type or human for that matter — I want to be adored and respected.

The Truth

I'm perfectly happy with all that has happened
and I still get laughed at but it doesn't bother me-
I'm just so glad to hear laughter around me.

And I've already spent too much time
doing things I didn't want to.

So if I want to drink alone dressed like a pirate,
Or look like a dyke,
Or wear high heels and lipstick,
Or hide in a convent,
Or try to be mayor,
Or marry a writer,
Smoke crack and slash tires,
Make jokes you don't like,
Or paint ducks and retire,

You can bet your black ass that I'm going to.

Something there's a lot of.

Good, unacknowledged music.
Here's an example.

Lila Burns- Lovesong


Dreams are only dreams
if you keep them that way.
And shooting stars can't
tell you what to say.
How long will you wait for "someday"?
How long will you wait for "someday"?


Dreams. There's a lot of those too.

This is perfect.



This is the piece I would've choreographed to this song, but I didn't.
Genius.

Linda Holmes on Taylor Swift

"The spectacle of an insanely wealthy 20-year-old singer using the phrase 'who you are is not what you did' to describe not a reformed criminal or a family member who grievously erred and must be forgiven," NPR's Linda Holmes wrote. "[B]ut to describe someone she doesn't really know whose only misdeed is rudeness at an awards show is just jaw-droppingly self-involved, and adding 'you're still an innocent,' with its implications of purity, borders on the creepy. Moreover, this entire attempt to psychoanalyze someone who's essentially a stranger, trying to find the internal pain that leads to every incident of acting out in public, suggests she doesn't yet know how being drunk works."

zing.

I'm getting dermal piercings

because I'm a rebellious teenager.


...and kind of because Annika encouraged me.

I'm going to major in Archaeology,

someone please kill me now.

and

I'm never quite sure if you're serious or just playing with me.

HAHA.



On another note,
this is becoming frustrating.
