Elvis

 
 
This is something I often think about. I try not to bring it up most of the time because most people do not understand it, or think I'm just plain crazy. But...

I truly believe there is a reason why Elvis Presley is a part of my life. I believe it was destiny for me to fall in love with him. He has already changed my life in so many ways and made me the person I am today. He's influenced every aspect of my life. Every decision I've made. He's inspired every single dream I have for myself, and the overall vision I have for my life.

I don't think it's random, I don't think it's by chance. I truly believe it was meant to be. I think Elvis is a big part of my journey and will ultimately lead me to my fate.

Just something that's been on my mind recently. My love for Elvis goes so much deeper than most people know. It is more than an admiration, it is a relationship. Again as crazy as that sounds it is truly how I feel. And I know Elvis will always be a part of my life. Guiding me and pushing me to keep going. He's always been there and I know he always will be.

31 Days of Halloween Challenge!

Day 15 - Halloween decoration tips.
Just have fun with it, I love going to Target and just grabbing a bunch of stuff, I love having the plastic jack-o-lanterns filled with candy and little spiders and skeletons and stuff. :)

Day 16 - What do you use to hold candy when you trick or treat?
I always used a plastic pumpkin (one with a "scary" face, not a smiling one.)

Day 17 - Your Halloween traditions.
Watch horror movies all month long, go to Rocky Horror, go to a haunted house/attraction, dress up, eat candy, get drunk. :)

Day 18 - Best Halloween pranks or dares.
I've never really done any...I'll have to think of some for the future!

Day 19 - Biggest fear.
During Halloween (and all year long) especially The Exorcist, just no. Can't even go there. Scariest movie of all time. No thank you.

Day 20 - Best TV show, Halloween episode?
All the Girls Next Door ones, I love how they go all out and I would kill to go to the Playboy Mansion Halloween Party!

Day 21 - Opinion on October weather?
It's perfect! Fall is my favorite season, especially in October. I wish the weather was like this all year long! (I wish it was Halloween all year long too!)

Back To Vegas...

As of last night I AM officially going back to Vegas for Halloween! For two very important reasons.

1. To tour/register for school (I don't know if I mentioned that I was looking at another one, but found one that I think is much more suited to me and what I want to do.) And to look at apartments/cars.

2. To celebrate Troy and Kady's wedding! They are getting married this coming Monday, at Disneyland and it's a very small group of guests. I was invited but couldn't make it. :( BUT they are having their reception on Halloween!

I can't think of a better way to celebrate my favorite holiday, in my favorite city. I am so excited! But it hasn't really hit yet...and it's coming up soon! I'll be busy busy busy these next (lucky!) 13 days! And HOPEFULLY this will be my last trip out before I will once again call Las Vegas HOME. :)

Keep On Dancing

I don't want to give up dance, not completely. I don't define myself strictly as a dancer. I don't even define myself as a dancer first and foremost. But it is a part of me. I feel like my whole life it has been a struggle for me to feel like I was good at dance. I was told I did not have the right body for it. I was told I needed to lose weight. I was told I wasn't working hard enough when I was working my ass off.

There was a time in my life when I was in love with dance despite the criticism I was receiving, but as time went on it took a toll on me. And I didn't love it anymore. I did it, hating it because I was still being cut down. Then I discovered musical theater. And I found out I WAS really good at that. I felt confident doing it.

So I decided to pursue dance as a career, I was going to college for it in the entertainment capital of the world, I planned on making it my life. But then, I was discouraged from it again. I wasn't what they wanted. I was told once again I did not have the right body for it. I was told to lose weight. I was told I wasn't good enough and discouraged from pursuing a performance career in dance. After all my friends moved up a level in their classes, I was still in the first level. I felt embarrassed and extremely unconfident. I truly felt like I was a terrible dancer and just needed to give it up. I did not want to return to the program, and felt like I should not pursue dance any further.

But it's still inside me. I have the urge to perform in my blood. I crave the spotlight. I want to be up on a stage in front of an audience. I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to do the kind of dance I really want to do and think I would be good at. But I want to. I really want to explore my options as far as dance goes. I want to find a way to do it. MY WAY. I want it to make me happy again. I don't want dance to be something I "used to do" or something I "was never really good at". The last few weeks it's really been on my mind. And I know it's in my heart.
