It's been 2 days, and I REALLY could use a good hug. Haven't been able to get a hold of any of the Marines to see that it's ok to stop by to get one. Didn't get one from Vitaly at lesson today either.
Ha. Speaking of lessons. Awful. Could it *get* worse than last time? … I fell, try that on for size. In the middle of a Cross Over Break, no less. (For you Non-Dancers -- that shouldn't EVER happen. But my foot just went right out from under me...)
There was, at least, the, "Move your ass! Your *ass* -- move it!" bit from Vitaly, as well as his, "You are dancing like a Sweet Girl -- you need to dance like a Bitch Girl!" instructions. I responded to that with, "Well, I'm never going to become a ballroom dancer then, I guess." (As I'm pretty sure I'm almost incapable of being bitchy like that. He just laughed. Of course, I was laughing at his English construction of, "Bitch Girl" instead of just saying "Bitch." It was kind of cute. XD -- Please forgive the cursing -- but it's all verbatim, and I'm quite sure, funny.)

You know? I bought the Russian version of "The Little Prince" today -- I was so excited! It was something I'd been meaning to do, but this day needed to be a happy day for me -- what with the news about the Car Accident, and my friends...
I started reading -- found a few errors, but it was ok. I was pleased to see how much easier I was understanding it, this time around, as opposed to trying in the summer. Although, I did bring the French version with me to cross reference, and did, some times.
… I had the book for all of 5 hours. … Vitaly stole it from me. … Not that he *meant* to… I pulled it out to show it to him, that that was the book I was talking about last week… … And he thought it was a present. … I am not exactly "with it" right now -- and there were more people in the room at the time, and he already thought it was a present, I couldn't just say, "Uh, that's not for you!" and take it back!!! God, the receipt was in it, and everything -- so he was like, "Oh, how much was it? Let me give it to you," -- but since he thought it was a present, I couldn't let him pay for it -- so I stumbled over a, "No, no; don't -- " and just left.
I'm not sure I've ever left the studio so quickly. Being embarrassed from the lesson on top of being embarrassed about the book; just bad, bad, bad...
Now I have to go buy a new one. = @_@ =
The last thing I needed was to be separated from that book today. =ToT= Now I will have to go buy another one tomorrow.
***********
I got home, and spent lots of time on the phone with Nicole and Cam. That was nice, and SO needed. Had my first good cry. Over lots of stuff, I guess.
Sasha called -- his friend set up a meeting with the other studio. = @_@ = It's awfully nice of both of them -- but I'm already stretched so thin. We have to go there early, because the lady we're meeting with leaves at 7:00 ; but the group lesson they want me to stay and see doesn't start until 8:30! Which means I won't be getting to practice Wednesday night. And I already didn't practice tonight. And Hustle is all tomorrow. = @_@ = / =>_<= F@#k me. AND I was supposed to meet with Nastya on Wednesday!!! Now I will have to text her sometime tomorrow, to see if she can meet another time. Or maybe she'll be at the studio later. (I doubt it, as she is 16, after all.) But I guess, if she is there early enough, I can stop in, before I head to my other meeting. …

I'm exhausted. But I was exhausted last night, too; went to bed early; and then couldn't sleep.
Thought I was going to get a shower before bed tonight, but then when I went to go take it, someone else was in there; so I just called Nicole and Cameron, and just forgot about it. =>_<= Some things are more important, I guess.
Oh, and I got two of Crocodile Gena's songs, from the Russian cartoon films with Cheburashka. Not a huge deal to most of you, I am sure -- but they were part of the happy things in my day, I suppose.
Today was supposed to be a happy day. Right about now, I'm not sure I can say how it turned out. I'm leaning more towards sad, what with my current disposition to hold onto my "Le Petit Prince" (The Little Prince) as though it were a Lifeline.
Love, Exhaustedly,
Moscow Kitty; 1:41 AM

since these are soooo long, it would help if you would add the date as well as the time at the end of each posting. I intend to read every word in date order.....
