Alright, so as i am sitting at home and watching so you think you can dance, i find myself bawling my eyes out! Melissa and Ade just did a contemporary dance choreographed by Tyce Diorio and it was absolutely beautiful! It was a very personal peice for Tyce about a woman who gets Breast cancer and a friend who helps her deal with it. This peice moved me so much for a few reasons! First of all, The technique executed in that dance was amazing. But the big thing is my personal experiences with cancer! Many of my family members have had a battle with cancer and one of my good friends lost her dad a few years back to cancer and my dad is currently fighting off cancer. I don't think that there is anyone in this world who can honestly say that they havn't been affected in some way by cancer. It is a very difficult thing to go through and that dance was a beautiful tribute to it. Especially the parts in the dance where Melissa was down and Ade Lifted her into the air or Melissa just jumped and Ade was always there to catch her, going through something like this first hand with always having to be strong for my father, it really impacts you on a different level than watching it from someones point of view who doesnt know what thats like. I think this is one of the most beautiful dances ever on So you think you can dance! It moved everyone in the Audience and I thank Tyce Diorio for choreographing such a beautiful dance, and Melissa and Ade for dancing it so well with so much emotion.
Ily daddy! <3

Alright, so this morning I had to give my summative presentation! Ah! I hate talking infront of people! I mean, put me on stage infront of hundreds of people and expect me to do a solo, no problem! Put me infront of a classroom of thirty, and I can't stop shaking! I have troubles speaking alot of the time, so I am always scared that I will start studdering or something stupid! it would be so embarassing! But, it is over with now, and I think I did a pretty good job! I was able to answer all the questions and I said everything I wanted to! Oh man am i ever glad that its over though! Now to just get through this play...

ENotAlone.com. "Spousal Abuse: Physical and Emotional." Http://www.enotalone.com/article/19283.html.

This article talks about Spousal abuse. This is something that I and i am sure many of you have dealt with. I experienced verbal abuse from my last boyfriend, and many of my friends experience verbal abuse from spouses! It is not acceptable and I wish that everyone would understand just how serious it is! Even a little comment like, your so stupid sometimes, is considered abuse! I do not tolerate that in relationships and neither should anyone else! This article also points out the fact that the abuser will usually make the abused feel like it is their fault so they don't say anything to anyone about it. This kind of abuse is terrible because in most cases the abused person is "In love" with their abuser and doesn't see them doing anything wrong, and also won't leave them because they are "in love" with them. It is really terrible and people should know that if someone is going to abuse you in any way they obviously do not love you in the same way you love them.

This article talks about a completely different kind of abuse than my book. In my book, "Burned" the main characters mother is initially beaten, then her and her sister are also physically beaten. In this article a woman explains verbal abuse where her parents used to call her siblings Imbicils and worthless. Every kind of abuse is seriouse and hurtfull! No one kind is better than the other. The lady then talks about how she often feels depressed and not good enough, the doctor then tells her that it is probably because of how her parents talked to her siblings, she was never good enough as a child so she never feels good enough as an adult. Also, many people who are abused always feel that it is their fault because that is what the abuser tells them, during the interview the lady kept saying, oh it isnt my parents fault over and over. Her parents would always say, this is for your own good, brainwashing her into believing it was true. Even though her parents only made little remarks, and it wouldnt be considered anything seriuos, it still bothers this lady so many years later. Thus proving, all forms of abuse no matter how intense or in what quatity, it is all serious!

I really don't know what to write about right now! i had a plan to go find an article and do that for my isu, but then i ended up going to my dads for dinner and i just got home. so i really just want to go to bed! But today i was faced with an interesting question so i am going to blog about it. The question was, what good is a hamster or fish for a pet? they don't do anything! I take this very personally having both a hamster and a fish! but then i started thinking and really my fish just swims around all day and my hamster just runs on her wheel. At least with a cat or dog you can cuddle them or take them for walks and stuff, but what is the point of other pets? are we really so bored with our lives that we need something to look at and be able to say "aw, your so cute!" I love my hamster and fish to death, but after they die, i do not think i will ever get another animal besides a cat or dog. I mean really, do you see a point it them?
