Happy Chinese New Year!!
Happy Chinese New Year, to all my loved ones and friends who are celebrating! Be with me in spirit -- I lack hot pot and dumplings!! But Happy Year of the Rabbit anyway!! =^__^=
**********
This evening has been… A rather frustrating one. Half of it is my own fault… The other half, I'm irked at Roma.
Let's start with the part that's my fault:
I cancelled my last school lesson today, because I thought that Roma and I had a lesson… But no… It seems that I misread the text message, and Roma said that we could practice ourselves at such and such a time, not that we would be studying *with* someone. I really am very angry at myself for making such a stupid mistake.
The dancing is terribly important to me, and I need all the practice time I can get these days (what with it being quite scarce as of late) -- but I don't ever want to cancel my school lessons for the dancing. It shouldn't work that way. I usually don't, only in extreme cases -- and so I'm mad that I wound up canceling when I shouldn't have.
It wasn't even truly worth it.
That's what brings us to Roma's hand in this.
As far as I'm concerned, tonight's practice was just terrible. We didn't work well at all. And what's worse, is that most of that, "not working well at all," was Roma being up to his usual "bad tricks": standing around, staring off into space/at other couples, but saying he wasn't looking at anything, etc., etc., etc.
It was so bad, that Vova -- who was in the middle of teaching a lesson to another couple -- shouted over to Roma, "What are you standing around for, man?!"
Back to me feeling embarrassed on behalf of my partnership. But I guess I was happy to have a more weighty voice than my own to snap Roma back to working.
When I asked Roma about it later, what was wrong, he said that he wasn't/couldn't get in the mood to work, because we can't practice like we used to.
=>_<= What a lame excuse!! To me, if we have less opportunities to work and practice together, that should only make us *more* focused when we are given a chance to work!!
I was still fuming about the evening, and that "excuse," until I found this:
Swarovski Crystal Hermit Crab | Shop REEDS Jewelers
And had the following reaction: "Okay, *that* is just freaking adorable. Lookit the little, shiny crabby!! Lookit'im!!"
Funny how shiny, cute, little things can take the edge off of a bad evening, isn't it?
Love,
Moscow Kitty
Mostly: =>_<=
But for the saving grace of that little crab: =^___^=!!!!
