Feb. 5th, 2006 02:59 pmI think I'm finally almost not sick. Yesterday I danced from 3-7 and then did an hour of yoga, followed by a couple of hours of dancing at the New England Darkside Walkers' Ball, and today I am hurting only from sleeping too long and making my back sore as a result. Still a little congested but now it is a faint annoyance rather than the dominating factor of life. I am so looking forward to yoga class this afternoon. I'm feeling a little trepidatious about my Middle East show tonight since I haven't been able to practice as much as I would like (do I use music that I've danced to before? no, I insist on doing something new because I am stubborn that way), but hopefully it will go well enough. I guess I will wear my copper coin costume and purple skirt, because my toenails are copper and my fingernails are purple and I don't feel like redoing them.
I had a lot of fun at the Dark Sidewalkers' ball last night.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cris spun an excellent set, and I'm always happy with the super old skool stuff that gets played at their events. Though as I remarked to a couple of people last night, it was a bit odd to be dancing to old Christian Death, Specimen, Siouxsie, etc surrounded by people who I am not entirely confident were born when those albums came out, singing along just like me. People who were born when I was 16 are old enough to drink now. Scary. But I am very glad that them young folks are finding and liking this music and keeping the old skool traditions going. People were dressed pretty fabulously too. I tell you, all in all it was a sight to warm a gerigoth's heart.
I liked that there were many vendors there as well; I hope they did good business. M remarked that they should hold events like these before the December holidays, a kind of goth holiday bazaar. I got a henna khamsa tattoo of yemeni design done on my palm. I couldn't resist, I am perhaps surprisingly a sucker for the anti-evil eye designs and amulets plus I have two gothic experimental shows later this week and it will be a nice addition to the costuming. And hey, I guess the color will match my copper coins for tonight's show.
I've always had a big woman crush on Starbuck, but now that she's becoming a bitter hurting alcoholic I think it's really love this time. Scar indeed.
