My week

This week, another week. Wednesday I spent time with a friend I hadnt seen a awhile. Thursday I went to another friends house to help him set up broadband only to find out we have to order ther kit, then install broadband internet on his pc! LOL how silly can we be?! Saturday the Belly Bus was in town selling merchandise. me and 2 others went, I had no money, so i wasnt able to buy anything :( but I also worked and last night I went to group and came back home, didnt go out clubbing. Normally I dont go anywhere Sunday night because my fav show, Desperate Housewives comes on, but a holiday special took its place instead. Today I didnt do anything but some chores around the house. I even popped onto a famous belly dancer's site and read her journal about the belly dance superstars tour. So i decided to email her. This is what I said....



Hello Dondi! My name is Jae, living in Cincinnati Ohio (ugh!) and I am a belly dancer. But, what makes it interesting is that i am a *~* who loves belly dance!! Although I have never seen you or any of the other girls on tour, I find all of you a huge inspiration in my discovery of belly dance! I have only been dancing a year, but i do have a history in gymnastics and vocal music. One day i would love to able to sing arabic pop (talk about voice training!!!!). Anyway, I am writing to you to let you know what inspiration I get from you! Ive never seen you in person or on tour and you inspire me, thats saying something! I just hoped maybe one day when your feeling upset or something, you can read this email and know you have touched someone, inspired someone. And all the other dancers who hope one day to reach the experience level you and the other girls have surpassed. I never really belonged, being who I am, have always been outcasted, ridiculed and suicidal. Belly dance is my self discovery, my saviour, you could say, lol! I love watching instructional videos from the various girls, including yourself, watching your techniques, styles, etc. I have found my own style, and hope to continue. I mostly do improvational, because everytime i try to choreograph something, I cant remember what i just did! lol. I feel I do better to just dance with the music, feel the rhythm, and see the people's reaction to your dance. Especially, since I was not born *~*, having broad shoulders, no *~*, and still feel comfortable with my body!! I still dance the hell out of myself! I recently did a 7 minute improv solo @ a belly dance studio and had an amazing reaction! A lot of the girls thought i had been studying for years, when in fact i havent. And i havent even taken any real classes!! Everything i know and learned have been from your instructional videos!
Wow i never thought i would have written this much! Thank you Dondi and the other girls for helping me in my self discovery! Its because of you, i have something to indulge myself in, and feel appreciated and that I am somebody!
Love to you and all of the girls!!!
*~JaE~*


I doubt she will write back to me, being busy and all, but i thought i'd write anyway. Just to say us little people appreciate the path she is creating for us.

Well time to hit the sack, have class in the morning last week of class!!! YAY!!! And Friday Rachel Brice will be in Dayton, so i will be there to watch her dance!!!!

See you all soon!!!

Jae
