Sep. 7th, 2003 09:29 pmDHP was awesome as always.
I'm now a member of the UC Berkeley Ballroom Dance Team. Silver syllabus classes are Thursday nights. Not sure if I want to take them since I'm Gold but the review and practice might help... this would require me to cancel all the Thursday LWBs but I've been really disappointed so far by the turnout of those. I keep on telling myself it takes time to build up, but I don't feel like the turnout is increasing at all. Opinions on the class and on cancelling Thursday LWBs (and possibly going down to once a month on Sundays or some other weeknight) are welcome.
I've been thinking a lot lately about body art. I have an idea for a very gorgeous tattoo, but it would be expensive and I have to actually make the art for the tattoo artist to use. Ask me in person and I'll describe it to you; It's a symmetrical tattoo with fairies.
Meanwhile, I decided I want to reconsider getting piercings. I'm thinking that if I try out some of the materials piercings are made of, perhaps as a ring, I can get a sense of how do-able it is for me. Considering vaguely either nipples or tongue. I'm just worried about doing this because I consistently have reactions to stainless steel and watch catches, and have even had reactions to sterling silver, once. Other options which look like they COULD work: Titanium, Niobium, Gold. Also, possibly, things like ivory or 'antler.'
Anyone have a titanium or niobium earring or ring or necklace I can borrow for a while to wear and see if it bothers me?
Enjoyed going to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joedecker's reception... It amused me that I was introduced to some of his Caltech friends, who were kinda like, "ok, whatever." Then jimweasel explained, "She's from MIT" and suddenly they're a little warmer. It was fun trying to figure out who was a freak/geek in normal drag and who was just a random person off the street or friend of the studio. :)
PPP looked like fun, butunseelie turned out to be allergic to their pool, and everyone was IN it. So if I went in he'd have no one to talk to. So we went home and had a private good time instead. :)
Today, wandered around GGPark and the Academy of Sciences with nifty folk. Was sadly kinda grumpy for a variety of reasons (tired feet, achy knees, too cold, etc.), but had a great time nonetheless. Now I have that warm fuzzy, "I exercised a lot and now I'm warm and comfy and at home" feeling. It's nice.
I was going to work on making a web page for myself tonight as plans fell through for the evening, but either something is wrong with my wireless, or Surehand is down, which means I have no email or web space. :( That also means that it may be tough to reach me for the next little while. I'll be checking lj though.
Boy is here! later folks...
