So, I went to a Level 2 yoga class (you have to say Level 2 in a very deep and bassy voice:)). And it really was awesome. I got the closest to doing a handstand by myself as I've ever gotten. I kicked up to the wall (which was a first for me) but then i couldn't quite hold it away from the wall....like half a second but not sustained, I think it was all about kidney loop and holding up my hips rather than letting them collapse toward the wall...this is getting very technical...but Sara's theme for class was all about finding your inner comfort, and sustaining yourself on the power inside yourself, so that was very good for me right now.
Then NHS homecoming came down main st...so shivasana was not particularly relaxing:) it was quite...peppy:)

I need to iron it, but here is the first embroidered piece for the baby shower for my yoga teacher Sara. I'm happy with it:)

This is it. I graduated from college today. Unless I choose to I am done with organized education for the rest of my life. I start full time as an assitant to a buyer at Faces in a week...eek! I don't quite know what to do with myself. There are still tons of things I need to accomplish, car stuff, doctor stuff, blah blah blah but college is over and done with. Somehow I feel like graduating summa cum laude with interdiscplinary honors should be taking me somewhere important, but I think I'm content to just sit for awhile...do some baking, do some knitting, generally be ridiculous for awhile. Anyway just felt like perhaps I should post something as it is a somewhat momentous event...

This is my link so I can get referrals:

I know that perhaps there is a Jamie or an Alexander or someone out there who loves me enough....althought most of you have probably already done it for my sisters:)

Alright right off to writing my full length play...It would be so much easier to write while listening to music on my ipod:)

It's 11:20 on Wednesday morning and Kerry just officially conceded the election. I think i've been crying since 1 am. This isn't My country. My country isn't bigoted, My country isn't hateful, My country isn't warmongering and callous. Where have we gone wrong? and what can we do to make it better again? I don't think I've ever felt this alone or this stupid. I had so much hope, I was so sure that everything was going to be all right...It has gone past the point for simple change, we need a revolution, from the inside and the ground up, to truly, truly take our country back.
