Highland Dancing, Sexy Hair, and Human Emotions


 BEFORE YOU READ: Highlight the letters and its easier to read.

The picture. What my hair looks like after being in a bun all day for competition.

So I'm officially a practicing highland dancer! I practiced two times this week! TWO TIMES!
 Now, I know two times is practically nothing, but the fact that I got off my lazy butt and actually practiced is amazing. I don't think I've practiced more than 10 times in my entire 11-year highland dancing career. And I have a practice record and everything! Three times a week, 40-60 minutes. Aah, I feel so responsible...
I remember this one time I was called up on stage at one of our performances for getting a good placing in our Provincial competition. Wendy ( dance teacher supreem - source of all my hatred ) was making a speech about how all us dancers put in hundreds upon hundreds of hours in the studio, hundreds upon hundreds of hours practicing.... and when she got to the practicing part, Danae blurted out from behind the curtain, "Meghan doesn't practice!" It was beautiful. And true. So I'm changing it. Three times a week. 40-60 minutes. Sheesh...
Anyways, so the other day, I took the wrong bus. Ended up downtown. Walked for three hours to get to my school. In the craaaaaaazy wing.
Now, let me clarify.
THREE.
HOURS.
WALKING.
IN.
WIND.
COLD.
PAIN.
When I got to the school, I couldn't open my lock because my hands were shaking too violently. Now, you think this would be a cause for someone to feel sorry for me. Offer me a little pity, maybe. But nooooo. I told the story to my BitchFriend, and she barely says anything except for "Oh. That sucks. Wanna walk to Timmies for lunch?"
I swear all my internal organs exploded. I felt like screaming at her and punching her in the face and telling her to be a better friend. I was in so much pain from that walk, and the prospect of returning to that wind, honest to God, brought tears to my eyes. Because I was so. friggin. tired.
And I went to Timmies with BitchFriend.
Even after another friend of mine gave her an awesome rant, she still wanted to go. Does she even have human emotions?!?!?!?!!?
I went because I knew if I said no she would wine and sulk and complain the rest of the lunch hour. Aaarrrguuumurrrg.
