"I almost skipped school today
Just didn't feel good
With the whole bit with all the ups and downs of the weekend
Worrying about the situation with Vitaly vs. Partner; Getting Grabbed by those guys last night, etc
Though, you know what's awful, but hilarious about that?
After it happened, I thought about Jessica Rabbit's line in the movie, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," where she says, "You don't know how hard it is, being a woman who looks like I do"
Or something to that effect.
And I thought about it again, when I was telling one of my teachers what happened, and she basically said, "You shouldn't walk around so late. You're pretty, and you have a good figure -- "
So then she teased me, "It's your fault! Don't be so pretty, Katya."
It was like, "Yeah... I'll get right on that." Instead, I said something to the effect of, "There are tons of pretty girls, who wear high heels in this city, and nothing happens to them!"
My teacher responded, "Who aren't walking around alone at midnight," -- which I begged to differ on, but I let it go.
She certainly wasn't blaming me for it, don't get me wrong by that -- but she had the same realistic approach I took to it. 'There are idiots, and what can you do? I'm happy you're safe.'"
**********
I got to the dance studio early, and was pleasantly surprised twice, when Katya and Anton, and Vova both came up to me, and thanked me, very warmly, for cheering for them yesterday at the dance competition!
I must admit, I was absolutely floored, and very touched that they took the time to do so for me. I certainly didn't cheer them on because I expected any accolades for it. I did it because I wanted to cheer on people I care about, and because I know how welcome it is, to hear someone cheering for you! Apparently, it really did mean something. =^__^=
Actually, Katya and Anton even told me that there would be a competition this weekend again, at the same place the one last weekend was at -- and they told me they'd be dancing on Sunday! So, they invited me to come. I'm looking forward to cheering for them again!
I'm so blessed, and fortunate, and lucky to be able to see them [the dancers in my studio] practicing almost every day, but it is so much more incredible to see them in costume, and on the floor, under the lights!! =^__^=
[And no, Vitaly never said a word to me about cheering -- if anyone is curious. Though he said thank you in a text message a few days before the competition, when I said I'd be there to cheer.]

The evening progressed, and then it was time for our lesson… Where things didn't go so well….

My SPARE, NEW set of heels also broke
Same thing -- heel broke off
Had to dance in my jazz sneakers, which I'd worn that day, thank God
I have just a private lesson with Vitaly tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have a chance to talk
So I can ask, albeit, much more tactfully then I'm about to say: "So, do you hate my partner; my partner and I together, or what? 'Cause you've kind of turned into a bastard lately -- and this guy's the only thing that's changed."
= O_o =
Apparently, I've gotten worse, too; just from this partnership. *laughs*
Vitaly said that tonight. Kind of a backhanded, off the cuff thing: "What's with you?? You get a partner, and you start dancing like this ?? [badly]"
I was getting in trouble for not doing things right -- even when I hadn't been led properly, or when Vitaly himself had led me in a few different ways
It was crazy
Thankfully, Roma did defend me, the one time Vitaly actually started to raise his voice to me about it. *shrugs* Said it hadn't been my fault. (Which was the truth)
But, geeze...
