Dreads, Bellydance, GAMING, and more - Life update Oct '13!

I'm going back to bold very soon. My hair's not doing what I want it to do AND I tied up my dreads wrong. My hair is also falling out in my new environment so I see it best to "cut" my loses.

I'm very pleased to announce that I'm back into gaming! Right now, I'm playing Dirge of Cerberus FF7, and after all these years I still think Vincent is super sexy. In the training mode you play as Vincent "back in the day" when he worked for Rufus. So. Hot! I love smooth girly-boys! But, the cut scenes are painfully long. I had a Shaman King game that was all backtrack, so I trading for Yu-Gi-Oh! DDM. DDM is boring, too, but there's no backtracking and I'm pretty good at it.

Seeing as how I'm a very unconventional person, I've decided to do things in an unconventional way. I need money and "looking for a job" getting me anyone. I've decided to start interneting for work. The internet is actually surprisingly good at finding other ways to get money than "work". I'm thinking about playing the stocks, too, while everything is nice, and broken, and cheap!

I'm back to belly dancing! I now know that my dancing will not be for money. I'll dance for the internet for free, but now for pay. Now all I need is a webcam and some privacy. I've also taken on shuffle dancing!

Now that I have some money making plans I can resume my life of gaming, and get back to my goal of becoming an OWL. I'm going to show people how to sex one way or the other!

My Facebook got hacked, so I'm no longer on Facebook. I was forced to get Google+ via Youtube, so I have that, but I don't plan on using it until people I know are on there. I'll be using Myspace more, and I still have my Twitter! I now also have a Flickr, and Pinterest.

I've been back on writing fanfics for maybe 2 months, now. My recent is very tame, but I'll find a window to be back to my super-violent-gore-sexual self soon! Right now, it's mostly Pokemon and Hoshi no Kirby. I have a Shaman King and Fullmetal Alchemist based plan coming up!

I've started mental health therapy. I'll need it to get over my emotional abuse. I had to come to see that I was being abused, so this is gonna take a while.

I still on my life's adventure. I'm about to head out to San An, TX and see what's hot down there!

Dec Update! "Figure 8's... Dreadlocked?! Back to Tarot. March to Dallas!"

8's are fun, but for some reason I do them better starting from the back or "opposite" direction. It's not as bad on my ankles, which are turning out to tricky with me. Nothing some muscle rub isn't easing, but I know it's a bone problems, so I might wanna get that looked at. When I like about all the problems I'm having with my legs, and now I have a new problem, I might REALLY want to get on making some kind of appointment.

I no longer have a time frame for when my dreads will start. My hair is yet growing out, and I'm not going to cut it. I hope this month, but I need my rubberbands and other stuff. The job thing didn't work out as well as I wanted it to, so that's a set back. Unlike my usual route, I still have a few tricks out my sleeves, so all is far from lost (for the time being).

I'm back to reading tarot cards, but I do them a short period at a time. Alot of idiots send 3 or 4 or ALL THE CARD SETS reading requests at once. Getting more than 2 request from the same email address is not only annoying, but that's easy to blow up this very basic inbox request system. I only take card requests when I know I'm not going anywhere the next day to keep myself as low stress per week, as possible.

I decided to start going to Dallas in March a few weeks ago. I thought I would have to ago alone, but I forgot my mother has a class in that wants to go to IN DALLAS! Right now, there isn't much stopping me from going to Dallas with her. I would like to have a job by then so I can have my own money when I go, but if I don't I'm not afraid to walk around, instead being able to get on the bus. I don't plan on buying much, while I'm there, aside from the bus tickets I can afford. We'll see how that goes.

That's all for now!

Belly dance shimmy combination: half circle and hip lift and drop

Shabnam and Mandanah September 11, 2010 Belly Dancing with Swords and Zills!

New Belly Dancing Progress review! Mid Oct 2012!

I think this list has changed noticeably. I'm becoming more focused, at least.

My favorite move(s):
Chest moves, upper and full body undulation

My least favorite move(s):
Basic walking shimmy, hip drop and kick

A move(s) I dislike:
Piston hips (I know how to do it now, but it doesn't feel right)

A move(s) easier for me than it looks to me:
3/4 shimmy

What I'm good at:
Camel walk, the wheel

What I'm surprisingly good at:
Omi, double hip lock

A move(s) I like that I need to work on:
Walking 3/4 shimmy

A new move(s) I just learned that I'm working on:
Sue Z Q

What I'm bad at, and I can stay bad at for a while:
Turns... all of them.

I've watched these same lessons repeatedly since my net's been off, and I've gotten to the point where i can watch the teacher without hearing the directions. I've replaced that audio with music, making it way more fun! I saved my belly dancing classes to the computer it's been much easier to not have to deal with video site buffering and errors! I'm going to do a little shifting on storage  but I want to keep the classes saved for myself to use whenever I want without the internet/ website flaws.

Still Belly Dancing, even though it might kill me!

I still have a lot of techs to learn, but I'm now taking with I already know and dancing to songs! It's important to get timing down. Even if you get a move wrong you have to keep time! I'm dancing to all speed of songs, even though I know I should stick to slow. I'll hurt something if I push it, but I can help it that this is so fun! It's dancing, after all!

My mind goes to the hip stuff first, but I'm going to try to work in the walking moves aside from the Al shimmy. I'm going to try to work in the camel walk move. Maybe the pelvic walk, too, but I don't like it as much with all that harsh tucking. For walking slower songs are best. Chest and leg stuff is good for intermediate speed, and hip stuff is for all speed, but you can go crazy of the fast songs.

I'm already thinking about showcase my talent in spring or Summer, if I'm ready by then... or if I'm not too shy to do it in person, in front of people.

I took a break from tarot cards today. I'm getting headaches from staring at the screen, now.

Tarot reading, and Belly Dancing progress of 9/23/12

The Tarot App I have on GC wants to kill me. I'm a reader for free, and people love free so I get a lot of requests. I can honestly say I'm overwhelmed, and flatter. It's sad I have to reject some of them, but it's just too much at once, and they're removed around 24 hours. I just take a few at a time, so not to burn myself out. It is fun to read cards, but it's work, too. I see why people can charge some much for it. When I get a deck in real life, I doubt I'll ever be as busy as what's going on online - free or not.

I'm still having fun learning how to do all these dances with my belly! Really, it's more my knees, hips, feet, and chest, but it does effect my belly greatly!

My favorite moves:
Basic Egyptian! Omi! The Wheel! L arms and hip drops, with turn!

The moves I'm surprisingly good at:
Choo Choo Shimmy! The chest moves I've seen, so far.

The moves I'm bad with:
Piston hips, and hip drop and kick.

What I don't even try:
Barrell "turn". It's more like a spin. I have still have problems with my left and right, so that's effecting it.

I'm trying about getting into pole dancing, again. I have some factors against me: I can't get a pole in the place I live in now. I'm afraid of falling, and I get dizzy easily. I'll have to yet until I can pay to go to the studios that we have here (if they're still open), and hope they (still) do pole dancing. Hopefully, the next place I move to will have the space needed to have my own pole at home.

IN THE MEAN TIME, BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF BELLY DANCING, I still want to wait until I have a good cam and a basic belly dancing outfit to record and post on the net.... but I might not wait and do with what I have because I'm not pro anyway!

Tarot reading, and belly dancing progress 9/22/12

I started a tarot journal for when I read the cards for myself. There's a lot to keep up with, so the suggestion of having a journal for this is a very good suggestion! I signed up to be a card reader on Google Chrome's Tarot Card app, and I've already got 2 readings under my belt! I'm very proud of myself, and I know I still have a lot to learn and I look forward to it!

I'm not even a week into belly dancing. and I already have a song I want to put together a routine to and show off! Now all I need is a cam, and a belly dancing outfit! The song I have in mind is Honeybee by Steam Powered Giraffe, but I might not do it. I don't want to be mistaken as someone in the band fandom. I'm newly considering Joker's "Untitled Rsn", but it requires fast movements and sharp jerks... WHICH WILL MAKE IT FUN! I have other songs in mind to record myself doing my normal spazzfire dance to! I don't need an outfit for that! With the belly dancing songs I'm considering more slow beats. I might even do Zapp and Roger's "Computer Love", with that being said.

As far as a cam goes, I'm going to see what I can do with my phone. The videos that record to the phone are 3GPP, and it's not easy to convert. However, when sent direct to the net, or a video site it's automatically reformatted. I'll see what I can do about a proper webcam, and video camera in the future.
